WP7 Email Attachments Cannot Forward without downloading first? - Windows Phone 7 General

This comes to me as a suprise and i am not sure if this is just my phone or the way WP7 works. when receiving an email with an attachment an wanting to forward it to someone else it seems I have to tap on the paper clip and download the attachment first then i can forward it to someone else or it will not send the attachment. in winmo 6.5 you could set to auto download attachments so they would be available. is this the way it works for all WP7 phones?

That should depend on the type of server you are using. I may be wrong, but only Exchange has this capability.

Do you know if there a reg edit to make your email attachments auto download? like in 6.5?

I don't think it's possible, at least I've never heard about it.
Since all my accounts are Exchange (you know that both Hotmail and Gmail offer this for free, don't you?) I don't even need this. When you forward a message on Exchange, you don't need to download attachments to the phone, they will be added by the server automagically. In addition to push mail of course.
I know this is not an answer to your question, sorry, just something you might want to consider.

EXCHANGE MAIL SERVICES - incl. push / aliases etc

hey guys,
I'm now offering exchange mailboxes to users (subscription based service). right now i see two, one by austindkelly in the wizard forum (he's disappeared for over a month and looks like he doens't offer his service any more) and one by denial in the kaiser section ($5/month). I thought I'd offer up a similar service starting with the hermes group (cheaper of course) with a few extra tidbits of joy...
- supports iphone exchange services, saves a heck of money over apple's mobileme service!
- outlook web access (with the advanced interface)
- 1gb quota
- both SSL as well as standard port options
- *IMAP access* - you don't even need outlook, syncs flawlessly with your phone.
- *MAPI* outlook access - hook up your outlook on your PC to sync with my service which in turn syncs with your phone. no plugging in ever needed!
- alias included (get your own email)
- changing your password through outlook web access (one-way non-reversible encryption).
I figured it's a bit of an overkill having my own exchange server that's serving a single account (i.e. mine). so why not open it up!
Price is $10 for 3 months, $19 for 6 months.
Please PM me if you're interested... Already have a number of beta testers who I've received only positive responses from so far. I'll probably set up your account within 12 hours (probably less).
And yes, will give you unused credit money back etc etc if you're unsatisfied for whatever reason. I'm really not in this for the money, it's more to utilize something I spent hours building up, plus to cover the costs of my internet / server hardware.
And, as usual, if you need any files hosted for xda-developers just let me know, i'm already hosting over 40 ROM images and serving 5-6gb/day in ROMs from the wiki!
cheers!
free accounts:
will provide 10 rotating free accounts at any given time for test purposes, will base it off of usage. so if you use the free account, i'll keep it up indefinitely, if not then account will be removed after 14 days and given to the next person in line.
Free accounts do not have MAPI access, have 50mb storage, have no aliases either.
Depending on utilization I may increase this 10 free account limit.
Chamelion, I will be pming you later in regards to two accounts, there are a couple things I need to research beforehand.

much easier for both of us if you just forward your personal .com address e-mail to the e-mail address my server assigns you. if you have an alias, your replies will appear from your personal .com email, not from my server
for those who've PMed overnight (i'm in london time, 8:20am here now) i'll set up your accounts within the next few hours.

Hi !
I can understand. No problem.
I'm 35 myself but my last daughter is only 2 weeks old ... that's why I'm still alive and kicking at 2.30 am (Paris Time).
Cheers for the account. I'm giving it a try and will report soon.
current users : please feel free to give feedback on this thread too! appreciate it via PM but it'd be nice for other users to get some 3rd party reviews of the service!
How to use?
Chamileon, how can I use?
W/O internet access through phone company?
With internet access through free wifi?
TIA

doesn't matter what kind of internet you have / what method you use. long as you can open a website, you can use this

Hi everyone,
I have to acknowledge that the service provided by Chamelion is working flawlessly. I've been using it for a week now and did not encounter any trouble except encoding issues but apparently not from his side. Flexmail is getting crazy with encoding, but poutlook is working great.
For sure, give it a try (if not more) !
thanks Chamelion for the good experience.
Note also that Chamelion is very accessible and quick to respond.
appreciate the positive review DR400, thanks
I have also been using the service for a week, and both Web Access and poutlook are working great.
Great!
I just signed up for the exchange service with Azim and it is great. Not only is it working wonderfully, his customer service and response time has been great. You can't beat what he offers with a stick!
Sign up peeps!
Scarlet
thanks for the feedback guys and gals!
Customer Service is A+, Exchange works flawlessly.
Great Job Azim, and Thank You!
few people are asking about synching from multiple sources...
from my understanding i can only give you one alias for your accounts, which means you can't select your "from." however you're free to forward as many accounts as you wish to the account i create for you, but you can only send from one "alias."
another multi-synching thing people are asking is whether you can sync calendar with your desktop and email with my service. sure!! its best that way in fact - that's what i do. i have my outlook on my desktop which has my calendar, contacts, and only sync my email via push on exchange to my server... you can even take this a step further and set up IMAP access so what you see in your email client is the same as what you'll see in your pocket outlook... if you delete from your desktop, whoosh it disappears from your PDA too

This question was asked way back in June 07!

It does give an explanation in the thread as to why you might not want to automatically download messages... basically you could suddenly find you are swamped with even more junk mails..

i am not even sure how to make sense of what was said in that thread. I dont see how allowing automatic download for html images in an email will increase spam to the mail account. at this point in the game, winmo is the only platform that doesnt allow html rendering by default. if this were true, then woulding everyone else who doesnt use a windows mobile device be flooded with spam?
Umm... pretty sure that my GMAIL account handles the SPAM ok.
I'm still going to look into this a bit more, but I have been super busy today.
As i understand what is said, spam senders send messages to accounts generated at random hoping some of them get to a proper account. The pictures that are in the email are encoded with email address it is sent to eg. [email protected] so that if you download that image the server knows that is a valid email address and is noted.. and spread for everyone else to send you a message...

Yes... that's exactly correct....except it goes to a server not an email address... basically the concept is that it notifies the sender that the email is legit, and adds them to the list of good email addresses to sell

like l3it3r said, my spam filter does a great job. can't tell you the last time i've seen spam come through my inbox. thats a none issue over here.
me either. It is a very rare occasion when I get spam in either my corporate or personal email.
if thats a problem we could atleast try to have an option to "trust this sender" or something to automatically download html pics from trusted sources
have added this thread to my subscriptions and will watch with interest
This is something that I have found annoying for a long time now that I can't just download the images in my emails by default. I really expected it to be an easy fix and that I would find an answer straight away along the lines of "...change this one line of the registry to '0' ... " so I was really surprised to see it was a much more complicated issue.
Anyway thanks in advance to anyone with the tech knowhow who is looking into this for us all
maybe its possible to make some script or something that presses automaticly "download pictures" when email opened... i have no idea how or if its possible but maybe someone can...
For Outlook on desktop computer this is possible on registry hack. On mobile outlook this registry key is not persist...?!
http://email.about.com/od/outlookexpressreading/qt/et_inline_off.htm
Maybe is possible on other location?
I'm looking for a solution to this as well. I would like the option to trust certain senders, at least. I can't believe Microsoft didn't trust us enough to give us an option for this. I would also like to have scrolling permanently enabled.
If you add the sender to your contacts, it will automatically download the images. This is the only way I have ever known to make this work, it would be great if someone figured it out, but until then this is the only work around I know.
i would like to have this function as well.. is great that my email mostly need image downloaded together.. when i got slow connection, i would like it to download all n internet picture together while it is idle. then once i got time i can faster read it all without further waiting for downloading.
thumbs up for this feature. at least have an option so that user can tweak themselves. no nid to argue about anything but juz let user make the choice accordingly.
DEFINITELY need to have this automatically download internet pictures AND turn on scrolling..... what's the point of having such a great screen and touch capabilities when the stupid email can't figure out how to show you pictures and let you scroll right?
HUGE oversight on Microsoft's part there - email should look as nice and classy as Opera does on my TP2!!!
UP !!!
I am still looking over this. Its really annoying and kills me. What a waste?

WP7 Issues and reporting to MS?

How would anyone tell MS of an issue with WP7?
I found a issue that would stop me from using WP7:
If your Exchange Active Sync User ID contains a space, you cannot type in the space to complete your login info!!!
I cannot use this platform with my own exchange server or my companies Exchange server.
Currently WM 6.5 and older did not stop the use of a space in the User ID.
Do you have a developer device? In that case I'd get in touch with those who sent it to you.
On a side note, are you running your own exchange server? Do you use SSL on it? If so, are you using a self-signed certificate on it? Does it work? WM was very bad at it - it would just throw an error and you'd have to install the certificate manually. WP7 won't allow users to install certs, so unless they corrected this Exchange would be a no-go in these cases.

Running GoDaddy SSL's on both Exchange servers. I can access Exchange(EAS) when the User ID has no space.
Well, the emulator isn't indicative of the real device behavior, it has tons of bugs and I think it doesn't even have mail - you'll need to unlock it for that. MS certainly won't comment on the problems you got this way.
Re GoDaddy - what about the certificate? Is it from Verisign or is it self-signed? When you go to the web interface, does the browser warn you about certificate problems at first?

The emulator/dev has email with EAS. It does work with a (no-space) user id. From Verisign. Browser does not warn of problem. GoDaddy SSL works for any device with the EAS feature (Palm devices (WebOS or WM 6.1), iPhone, iPad, Andriod, Any other WM 6.5 or lower device)
Can anyone with a developer device confirm the problem as well?
The emulator has no ability to add accounts, not even the unlocked one??? It sounds like you have access to the updated bits that the rest of us don't. Maybe you could share?
But at any rate, you should be reporting/asking these sorts of things on the connect site at http://connect.microsoft.com/windowsphone
You're the first person I've seen post on here that has a device so consider yourself fortunate

That one doesn't support syncing to exchange, or any other accounts, at all... at least not that I'm aware of?
Sorry, you are correct. Just tried the emulator version and it never syncs up. The setup does complete but, never reachs EAS.
EAS - WP7 User Name with Space Issue
This is still an issue with RTM devices. Here is a thread on the MS forum:
http://social.answers.microsoft.com...f96-3037-4f57-ac6a-83bc030aeec6?prof=required
The 7.0.7355.0 build still has the same issue.

to install self-signed certificates simply email them to yourself and open the attachments on the phone. This is how my school installed self-signed certificates for their mail server so I could get my school emails straight to my phone.

[Q] ActiveSync 2003 and HTML email

Anyone have any new information or found a fix for receiving HTML email in the stock HTC mail client? From what I understand Exchange ActiveSync 2007 works but not 2003. Is this correct? I've used TouchDown (which works with 2003) but I prefer the interface of the stock client.
Thanks for reading...
This is important to me.
I want to reply to emails that give the appearance of writing from my desk. Some people do question your efficiency if you often appear to be mobile.

It think that depends on who you interface with, I've typed:
---
Sent via mobile phone
...before from my desktop to give a short answer as I look into something. But I think you should generally stick to the 5 sentences rule, or better yet 3 sentence rule.
Emails should be just a little more than a text mssg would be. Short, concise and convenient.
Touchdown has the option not to add your signature, just uncheck it...did you try that? Just sayin.
Hope you find a way, I'm on 2003 too.
Cheers
Actually, I practice that. The only thing that resembles the fact that I'm on a cellphone is that it's not html.
