200 points for this man!
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?
Since Froyo came on Nexus everyone was saying that now you can finally sort contacts by last name. Where can I find that option on Desire since I haven't got any setting or options in "People" (contact) app.
Am I missing something obvious?

It looks like unfortunately, not.
There is no option to sort by family name. Even in a cooked sense-froyo roms, if stock contacts-dialer app is inculded, the sorting by family name and search fuction are just not working.
In this moment I've few soultoin (but I'm not satisfied eider)
1. Use one of AOSP cooked rom (e.g Opendesire)
2. install 3td party apps, like BetterConttact (payd), DialerOne (free), beside the Peopple app. (This 3 app's are doing aas I want, but only separately, so somitemes I need to use one and other times other )
3. Change display name in People app one by one
Currently I'm on 2. but as I mentioned, I'm not really happy with that.
I have about 600+ contacts which are growing daily, doing number 3 is out of question.

I just measured that 23sec need to change one. So 600 contact changes takes less tha 4 hour. When I think about it, searching for solution have taken much more...
But agree, it's very booring task!
Are you syncing contacts with your gmail account?
If so this may be worth a try, assuming my memory isn't too addled.
When I first set up my phone I synced using active sync and my contacts where stored Surname, First Name. I later deleted my active sync connection and set up using the Gmail features and the contacts swapped to First Name, Surname.

I synced my contact to my google account since half year with my winmo as well, with no problem. In my contact list in the filed first name there is a first name, in the field last name there is a last name.... so everything is fine.
The only problem that HTC does not think that sorting by Family name is important... You know in some langueges (like mine) are sorted it this way.

After I bored about finding and waiting other good soultion...I just would like to let you know, I did it with all my contact (372) within 3 hours
Just received my Desire HD and after 1st sync I noticed a message saying "Matched contacts suggestion" with a list of some of my contacts...can anyone advise what this does?
If you're talking about when you link contacts, then I believe it just links certain contacts together into the same contact. You have to check through them though, because sometimes they may be trying to link two different people into the same contact.
Yeah, for example it may suggest you to link a Facebook contact to a phone contact, and if it is the same guy, you will see his Facebook updates when he/she calls you etc.
Yes, linked contact...its strange though as I dont have duplicates, so not sure why it would try to link some contacts...under what criteria? Thanks anyway.

assumedly you've signed into facebook or twitter.
What it's doing is going through your social network friends list and saying "Aha! I have that name in the phonebook. They probably don't want them in there twice, so I'll ask if they want me to link them"
As I'm signed into facebook and twitter via the app and via sense, some of my contacts have 4 links! It's so much better than having 5 contacts in my phonebook for each person
yes, that would make sense..but I dont have facebook or twitter (probably only person on the planet)..I did find in my google contacts online, that as well as "My Contacts", there was a group made called "Other contacts", which had copy of all my contacts, so I deleted the group..everything was ok for a while then I got message again asking if i want to link some contacts..weird.
even worse: no info whatsoever is given with regards to what it means if you tap the name and it becomes green? Do you eed to tap all of them?
pull down the notification bar and open the linked contacts (if its still asking you) and it'll tell you who it thinks can be linked...you can choose to accept or discard the suggestion. simple
and don't worry you can always unlink contacts later should you wish to.
Get it again
Hello,
I received this question also and I was selecting all my links one by one.
I thought what if I do 'dismiss all', then maybe I can 'select all' after that..
But all my suggestions where gone..
How can I get all the suggestions again?.. I have many contacts..
Thanks in advance from The Netherlands.
Best regards,

Just picked up a request from the DEV IDEA POOL
danchar4 said:
I have a very simple app request to target unlocked phones. Basically a one button switch between primary LiveID accounts based on sensboston's work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335240
1. Launch app
2. app asks for email address
3. user types in email address or selects email from list of last-used addresses
4. app asks "Are you sure?" with suitable warning
5. app writes selected email address to following regkeys:
Code:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Partners\{B2830118-7BC6-4A74-8C9A-3D8B9CEF88E0}]
"Email"[email protected]
"User"[email protected]
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\Environment\Production]
"DefaultID"[email protected]
6. app automatically reboots phone
Simple enough, right?

Because I made no test on myself please give me feedback if the registry values get applied
ne0cr0n, unfortunately, "my" method has some important cons (you should list 'em) - after that change you'll be not able to upload pictures to SkyDrive, also some accounts like Twitter will be non-functional I've tried to find some workaround but without success...

but you can revert it back, right?
The new LiveID could be associated to a different market zone, which you could use to buy some apps with your correct credit card infos, then revert back to your main LiveID, and regain all regular functionalities like auto uploads to skydrive, twitter integration, etc.
Am I right?

I'm so sorry but I can't confirm - just never tested this way. I've researched that hack 'cause damn Verizon blocked and deleted my very-very old email ( @verizon.net) what I've used during 11 years, and also as my LiveID email.
Wow dude thanks for writing the app so quickly. What is the etiquette for sharing apps? Are you supposed to share source code too? I don't want to be rude by asking you for the source
I don't use twitter, but I was able to upload a photo to skydrive just fine after swapping LiveID's. Steps:
reset my phone with my own liveID
download bunch of apps from appstore
dev unlock/interop, etc
manually edit registry and change to my wife's LiveID (she has zunepass on her ID which is why I wanted to swap to hers)
reboot phone
take picture
upload to skydrive
login to skydrive app and see that picture is there on *my* skydrive account, not my wife's
So skydrive integration with picture hub/camera obviously stored my liveID and credentials somewhere other than the regkeys I edited. Most likely Twitter is the same way.
I presume the credential data is stored encrypted in some weird GUID key with no obvious pattern. Too bad there is no regmon/procmon tool like on Big windows, otherwise I could figure it out in a few seconds... Although somehow I doubt that you can use provxml to import export those keys to re-write encrypted credentials. That would be a pretty bad exploit.
So I ran IDSwitch and it gave me the error "no root access". Hmm. So I went into WP7 Root tools and switched on "trusted" for the app.
So a pre-requisite for running the app is to have WP7 root tools? I'm kinda new at this so perhaps that is an assumption of any app that is going to do interop/native stuff? In order to get it to work you have to set it to "trusted"?
Anyway the app let me type in the new liveID and rebooted the phone, but upon booting up, it appears that the old LiveID is still there in the 3 registry settings. I ran it a second time and the app remembered the address I typed in so thats cool. BUt again after rebooting, it failed to modify the registry entries.
Can you post up a debug version with some breakpoints or console spew? I could try to attach a debugger on my end (not sure I know how to do that, but I can try to figure it out)

Thanks for the info. I will add a warning and how to use message when launching the app for the first time.

I uploaded the source. Should make things much easier
I tried it on Samsung Focus Mango updated with WP7 Root Tools. Even though it reboots but it does not change the primary id. After reboot when I open the app again, it shows the primary id as the old id and not the id to which I wanted to switch.
Found the bug. I used the content from to current ID textbox not the new ID textbox -.-
I guess nobody tested it or I am getting a different result. Here is what happens :
1. ID A which is primary ID in my Account with No CC.
2. I switch from ID A to ID B. ID B does not have a CC.
3. When I access Marketplace, The region used is according to ID B.
4. Next I Move to buy an App and it asks me to signin with ID A instead of ID B.
5. For free apps, I can easily download it without going to login page ever which is pretty obvious.
Today Evening I will try out to buy app by signing with ID A when it sends me to login page of ID B by first sigining out and then signing again.
Few things I noticed :
1. Facebook, Twitter, Skydrive all was working.
2. It takes a while for the OS to realize the ID is new and hence may take around a minute or more to change marketplace.
3. I downloaded a free app with the swtched id and used it without any issues.
4. I even updated a free App which was bought using the primary ID with the new ID.
5. Email ID A stopped working. It did not show any email nor it gave an error of wrong password which is pretty odd.
My Thoughts :
1. This will be useful for parents who have kids carrying a Windows Phone who do not want to give them credit card access but using this they might buy apps for kids.
2. I still need to test but this will work for IDs which are in same region. For example I have a US id to which if I want to add a CC, the country is fixed and hence I cannot use an Indian CC with it.

Try to reboot after LiveID change.
Just tried it out and it worked. The file was uploaded to Skydrive account of the primary Live id.
Wait... What "primary Live id" and what are you tried? New one or the old one? Have you tried:
- change LiveID to new one
- reboot handsets
- go to pictures hub and share picture to the SkyDrive ?
When I said Primary Live Id I mean the ID with which the phone was configured.
1.Phone configured with ID A
2. Change to ID B using the app, Reboot
3. Upload to Skydrive and it was stored in ID A Skydrive Account.
He-he, it's exactly what I mean by "not working". For example if you change first (original) LiveID email to the new one (as I had to do), you'll be not able to upload pictures to SkyDrive, and can't login to the Twitter account. So please do not confuse people.

Oh Ok I understand now what you said by breaking. The new ID cannot be used for Skydrive or Facebook or Twitter etc in short, anything connected with old Live id.
Basically its not a true switcher and can only be used to buy apps with the new account connected with CC
Hi all
The whole idea of this app is JUST to let you assign an account that will give u the ability to buy apps from marketplace using CC, if your original ID have problem with adding CC information. So it is not to change you ID permanently. You can read my thread if u want. Anyway thanks op for making the app.
I can confirm this works. Just bought an app using a different account and it works. Editing a video on this so will be up in couple of hours.
As promised, Here the link to the video we made http://youtu.be/2H7dr7ZzJZs
Stupid question, but is there a way to change which account name is being displayed at the upper left-hand corner of the quick settings? It used to say my name from my Google account, but after I logged into Twitter and authroized HTC Sense to access my Twitter account, it's been using my Twitter name.
I've de-authorized my Twitter account from HTC, logged out of Twitter, and also de-installed it to get it to change back, but no dice. Any ideas?
Maybe log into Google+? That worked for me on Vanir. Awesome rom btw.
