As Misfit27 already mentioned you have to change the password in the edit option but for the username you must give your profile name the one that appears in your posts

Hallo,

After sending the email, it disappear from the outgoing mail folder, but a copy is not saved in the sent email folder.
Any clues ?
I'have already checked the "save a copy of messages in sent email" but doesn't work.
Thanks

Probably my email client is different, because in the menu options I can't find the tools tab or equivalent.
many thanks anyway

I think you may still be looking at HTC interface for your e-mail, not the WM one that has the menu options you need.
Once you go to the "Mail" tab in touchflo/sense, you have to hit the "Inbox" button first, that will take you to the WM e-mail interface...THEN hit the "Menu" button in the bottom right, then hit the little arrow at the bottom of the list that pops up so you can see the rest of the options, then you'll be able to get to tools>manage folders

did you scroll through the page when you hit the menu button? Tools tab is located @ the bottom of the page & won't show unless you scroll through the page.
That's the solution many thanks

Ooops, eehmm, here are those options. It looks like I'm not enough suited to the scrollable touch screen
Many thanks to everybody

Nick names for contacts

Is there anyway to create a nickname for your contacts and just not have their full name show up, say in favourites, another thing how do you change the default action when you click a favourite once already selected say "open contact card" or "send message"

I think the only way to change the default action is to remove the contact from the favorites group and then add it back again.
no nicknames possible with the included people app

Couple of questions from an iPhone user

I got the desire recently and am very impressed with it, however cannot figure a couple of things
How do I add a map location to a contact? I can locate myself on the map but I don't know how to add that location to a contact.
Also, on the iPhone, I could tap on top of the screen to scroll back to the top. Can you do that with android?
Thanks

Hi I was in the same boat as you with the iPhone then jumped to the Desire. I'm not sure about the maps with contacts but in the browser if you press menu the address bar will show up at the top of your screen.
I am not sure you can add location info to a contact by an option in maps but contacts do link to maps if the address is entered in to the contact and they become navigable using google nav. Sorry if you already know this.
I think what you're describing is a feature of google latitude. Once you sign up for it, you can see the location of your friends who have latitude on your phone via google maps.

If what you want is information on the location of known persons at any time, this is a feature of Google Latitude, all you need to do is sign in and you get the position of all your known contacts (if they allow this).
If what you want is a way to navigate to the address of the contact, If you inform the address on the contact information Google Navigator will allow you to navigate to the destination.

I have not found any equivalent to this, all you can achieve is showing the nav var touching the menu buttton, but you can't scroll back to the top of the page with one single movement.
You can add businesses as contacts if they are visible on maps but if you want to add an address to a contact you will need to do that from the people app.

I thought you just had to add a postal address to their contact information. Once that's done it will give you an option to "View ... address".
Thanks for the responses. In Dubai, we have pretty bad adressing system and about the only way is to arrive at the destination and add it. That's what I used to do on the iPhone by dropping in a pin andc adding that to a contact

This might be what your looking for - the Google app 'places', not sure if its Rom specific or available via the market but its on my opendesire ROM.

[Q] How to rename email accounts

Good afternoon everyone,
I just ugraded my Samsung Wave I to Bada 2.0 and like I said in the topic title I would like to rename some email accounts I added. In fact I used the "Other account" setting to add it and now all my accounts are named "My new account". I looked in the settings but I did not find out where can I solve my problem.
If you've got any ideas I will be happy to read it.
Thanks everyone.
I'm sorry of it's a noob's question but I really didn't find the answer.
hello
on you phone: home\setting\accounts: open a count at the left top you can see the setting icon, open and click on the user name .that's all

I already try that but it changes nothing, unfortunately.
Nobody knows ?
It is very simple.
Just do this :
Settings => Email => Email account => tap on "your email account" => tap on the setting button in the top left hand corner => change the settings of the account
That's it
All this is true what is written here, but you can only change the settings of the email account, not the name (account)!

Do you mean in Samsung Internet? Click on the three-bar/hamburger menu -> settings -> home page and choose the page you want to use.
Whops forgot to say Chrome set to desktop mode

Go to "Settings" and then scroll down to the "Advanced" section where and tap on "Homepage" to set whatever you want as your home page.
I can set homepage, but if I leave that page overnight, with no activity on my part, it defaults to a new table.

What page are you trying to use? Maybe it's one that expires?
How can my homepage expire, and change to Google page?

Some sites refresh or log you out after a certain amount of time. But, it wouldn't change to Google. Maybe you're not setting it correctly? Can you screenshot your setting (you can cross/blur the URL if necessary)?
My homepage is set about:blank. Any new tabs goes to Google. Com with bookmarks on that page.

You have Google set as your search engine, so that's why it is on the new tab page (which is not Google dot com). If you change your search engine, you'll have just the bookmarks and news on the new tabs. You also can just tap the homepage button to get to your homepage. If you turn homepage off, you'll get the new tab page in your first tab instead. It is chrome-native://newtab/ .
Interesting. My goal is still to have all tabs default to my homepage.
