[Q] Delete all emails from recycle bin ICS - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I already asked this question and got an answer, but I have another question. I got this answer:
It's tedious and I agree there should be a select all function but there isn't. Best way is to do it on pc side.
How do I do this? I have looked through all folders on SD card while connected to PC thru USB but can't
find where email folders or recycle bin is, and haven't found on google where desire hd stores its emails.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I miss being able to press one button to get rid of all my deleted
emails!
BTW, tried to add this question to previous thread but the forum wouldn't allow it, saying there weren't
enough words in the post or something...

If you go into email setting their an option to permanently delete emails from server when you delete from inbox. Try that out if you didnt already.

Thanks, but that's not what I'm after... I want to find out how to
empty the email recycle bin on my phone from my PC, without
having to go down the whole list of emails ticking every box...
I want to leave emails on the server...

Pocket Outlook questions

Hi,
I already asked this on the buzzdev forum while xda-dev was down, but since noone has answered yet over there, I'll post it here as well.
Here goes (I'll copy-&-paste it).
A useful feature in Pocket Outlook is that when you write the first letters of the recipients name in the "To" field, you immediately get a short list with the people in your address book that correspond to those letters. It's a much more convenient way than tapping the address book icon and looking up your recipient.
However, today I noticed this function didn't work anymore!
Upon further investigation I found that it did work with the standard input methods, but not with Calligrapher 8, which I just upgraded from 7.5 yesterday. The "check names" function doesn't work either when I'm using the Calligrapher input method. Has anybody else noticed this? Does anybody know of a way to repair it?
Another thing I want to ask is if anyone knows of a (safe) way to make Pocket Outlook store all your e-mail messages on a storage card. The only potentially useful thing I found on the forum was a patch for the Motorola Mpx, but the link is dead.
I found this method somewhere else:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MAPI
"AttachPath"=string:"Storage Card\Mail\Attachments"
"PropertyPath"=string:"Storage Card\mail"
Create a folder in the root of your SD Card called "Mail"
and another one in "Mail" called "Attachments"
Do a soft reset.

Has anyone tried it? Does it make Outlook move all your existing messages to the storage card, or only new ones?
Thanks in advance!!
PS. Man I was panicking when this forum was down. Imagine never being able to visit here anymore! :shock:

How do I save SMS and E-Mails?

Doesn't seem to be an option to save SMS and E-Mails. Unless I'm over looking something. I disabled TF3D and just use the original WM interface so you think that's why? When I go to menu no option to save. I thought about making a new folder to move it to, but I can't do that either.
Anyone know?
BTW - I tried to search for this but nothing came up about how to save sms and emails.
Try http://myphone.microsoft.com
you can back up your contact and SMS messages

Oh yeah I forgot I had that. But with a HTC running Windows!!! Don't you think this type of thing should be built in? The easiest and simple things that we need are always missing.
try PIM Backup, works good even for email
Aren't they just in the sent items? Or do you want to back 'm up to your PC automatically?

I want to be able to save a certain emails to my phone when I need to and use it later if I needed to. I'm so use to doing this when I had my BB. I don't want to save my entire email list. Just certain ones that are important that I would need at a later time while I delete the rest.
I don't need to save too many text. But if I do, I just send it to my "Drafts" folder. I don't like how I can't save a MMS pic either. I have to email it to myself in order to save it. Unless somebody knows another method.
It may not be much help, but I can confirm that Flexmail allows you to 'save as' your messages. The WinMo PIM apps are the bare basic essentials. If you want anything fancier, you need to consider third-party software.

Phantom Email account

so I have deleted my email accounts, both of them but manilla still shows one of them. When I click on it from the manilla tab, it does not do anything. I can flip thru them as if they are still there but I can not open the email like normal. Windows knows that it has been deleted but manilla still thinks it is there.
Anyone know of a way I can delete it?
Thanks,
Jeff
If you're not going to have email accounts on your device, then why not just remove the Mail tab altogether?

I want email, I have two email accounts, but with this phantom, which happens to be a copy of my work email, it shows three.
When Make the new account called "work" it it says that I already have an account named work and I have to name it something else.
When I look at the accounts in windows mobile, there only shows two. Manilla is convinced that there are three.
I have tried to search the registry to delete all things named my work email once I deleted both my accounts but it is still there.
Anyone have any ideas?
THanks,
Jeff
Does anyone have any ideas about this? I am sure that a hard reset would do it but the issue is not worth that, I would rather just find a fix for it.
thanks all,
Jeff

does disabling sense allow you to create the work e-mail?
double check all registry entries, it most likely won't be labeled work either.

I've encountered this in the past but can't remember how exactly I got rid of it. I remember I used a program such as memmaid, sktools or pocket mechanic to delete the phantom account and then just readded it. I've been checking my phone to find out how I did it but as of yet i've not found it. Will post back as soon as I do though.
Sorry I cant be much more help at the mo, but just know this issue can be fixed without a hard reset.

Thank you All!
I used the mailAccountRepair file from this thread to do the repair, then I was able to see it in the winmo email and delete it.
thanks all!!

Mark as read?

Is there anyway to mark any unread texts as read w/o manually selecting each one? Somehow I recieved a text yet it's not showing up on my screen. I'm stuck having that little bubble with a 1 but I see no unread messages. Is there anyway to make this annoyance go away w/o deleting all my texts? Sorry if this is placed in the wrong section.
the attached file should work. Extract the file, copy the file to your phone and then run it.

There is a cab file for "safe inbox extender" that adds the option to "Mark All Read". Do a search.
EDIT: Oops, read the darn OP! The former cab is the one you want...

Thanks! I'll be sure try this.
will that work for emails as well?
I am sooo tired of having to open each email and close it.
Okay, after a soft reset, it worked! It had a lil delay but it worked. Thanks again.

[Q] email deleting...

Is there a setting Im not seeing that allows emails to actually be deleted and not just from my phone?
My continuum would do it but when I delete emails on my Incredible then go to my email on my computer the emails are still there. I would like to have it so when I delete on my phone they are gone permanently. Thanks
btw... phone is fully stock
If your using the HTC mail client, delete the account and then recreate it: Mail>Other>Manual Setup>under "Protocol" select "Imap." What you are describing sounds like you set your email as "POP."
Thanks! that worked, just didnt know exactly what to search for. All my searches ended up just being same question as mine with no answers.
for anyone else searching for this, this is how its set up...
