checking multiple mail accounts *automatically* - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

Hi,
does anyone know how to do this using the standard pocket outlook?
When I try, I seem to have to leave it on one particular account and it checks that one only....
I'm sure pocketpc used to at somepoint did it not?
anyone got any ideas ? or third party programs that are as if not more powerfull AND are just as intergrated...
thanks for anyones help
cheers,

Sorry there is no way to do that with the standard pocket inbox!
HTH

I have to say.... thats quite pathetic
know any 3rd party progz you'd recomend?
thanks again *sighz*

might help.

I read that thanks... too much bloat for my liking though lol... (see I do search the forum lol )
covers up the battery notification on the 'start menu' (kills small menu plus with the GPRS meter thingy)
adds its own battery monitor to the today section (I already use omega one for that :lol: )
and a few other things that I forgot about (uninstalled the GPRS monitor already)
I'm not saying its a bad proggie by any means.... but I do prefer the ones I'm using the now (battery meter etc) and since IE is so crap for surfing the web ( NO OPERA !!!!!! ) I only use GPRS for collecting mail so cost isnt an issue
mail is very important to me though.... and that my friend is where this one comes in
http://www.handdata.com/hdmailpage.htm
does everything it says on the tin :lol:
I'm trying it out for the 15 day trial... anyone that wants this feature should too...
2 niggles...
1. bit expensive for all it does (but then again $20 aint tooooooooooo much)
2. the damn light comes on everytime it turns the device on to check mail... yes I know thats coz I've set it to come out of 'flight mode' to do so but I'm sure outlook manages to check mail without waking the device up fully no?
anyways cheers
was gonna post that link when I had the chance since no one had managed to come up with anything....

scratch that... has anyone managed to get it to work on a 2k3 device?
I cant seem to get it to work.... I thought it was comming on and checking my mail but by the looks of it, it was just the t-mobile 'ghost' bug....
I tried mailing the author but aint recieved a response yet...
anyone had better luck?

I had Inbox working OK on 4.01.00/TMobile (altho I was only using one email account), but tonight I switched to a Kitchen 4.00.16 and can't get it to connect reliably. So maybe it's related to an immature revision of WM2003...

thanks, yeah eventually I did get it working with 1 account although did you think the timer was accurate ?
I cant get it to check multiple accounts tho
cheers
4.01.00 is also the rom I use

Easy way to sync contacts between Thunderbird and WM devices?

If this has already been discussed, point me in the right direction please, I searched but didn't find anything.
So is there a (free, preferably) way to sync contacts between Thunderbird and my Titan? This would be a tremendous help to me!
-Randy
PS - Looked into Plaxo, didn't seem too seamless.
I've looked into this as well....if it helps to know, I went back to using Outlook...

Here's the situation: program looks good, but I'm using this at work on a corporate network that I do not have access to router settings to open a port. So, I cannot use this program unfortunately. Unless you know a way to bypass using a port over the internet.
Any other program suggestions?

quick google search produced this link:
http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/02/26/how-to-sync-your-pocket-pc-with-thunderbird-mobile-minute/
Provides info on two possible programs:
Birdiesync
FinchSync (which we already discussed)
Birdiesync, unfortunately is commercial
I'm going give finchsync a try right now
EDIT: reading the link I provided, it appears as if you dont need to access the router at all - you may need to guess a few times until you find a port thats not in use
EDIT 2: Just tried finchsync. Its a little tricky to set-up, but if you follow the directions outlined in the link I provided above, it isnt that bad. Synced my contacts in less than 15 seconds.

Not too bad! Only problem is that it doesnt know how to properly handle multiple info for one particular contact. For example, if you have a contact with multiple email addresses, finchsync will import each address as a separate contact. Clutters up the address book on the phone.
I'm going to suck it up and continue to use outlook...for now...

I'm going to fix my earlier post--TB doesnt know how to properly handle importing outlook contacts. Its an issue on TB end which caused TB to separate contact information so that I have like 2-3 of the same contacts, but with different data in each one.
If you fix all of TB's contacts (or dont import from outlook), finchsync will sync to the pda properly.

thanks for the effort, it just isn't seamless enough for me. i have to be able to connect my phone via USB, press sync and be done with it.
I'm pretty well versed in computers, and have no problem figuring out finchsync, it just isn't practical. i have over 300 contact in outlook too, and most of them have multiple emails, addresses, and contact phone number, it would take forever fixing them once imported to Thunderbird.
thanks though! i'll just have to wait for someone to make a plug-in for thunderbird that makes it "push-button" easy.
makes you wonder about the Staples Easy Button lol
If it is any consolation...I use birdiesync, and it works pretty good.
Thunderbird 3.0 is progressing along in dev, so maybe there will be better functionality going forward.
Post some message on David Ascher's blog for an enhancement request, and maybe it could become a higher priority. Or better jump in with both feet on open source product dev...it sounds like they need the free help.
If the dollar wasn't so down on its luck then birdiesync might not be such a bad deal.
Maybe you can lobby gc14, dcd, and all the other allstars here to work on Thunderbird while everyone waits for the newest thing in the cell phone world.
Can someone say "Creedence Clearwater Thread Revival?"
My two cents(or buck n' a half)
1. Thunderbird - WOW I absolutely LOVE it. HOWEVER their is one little thing that REALLY chaps my ass with it and thats syncing contacts throughout multiple computers. I've done so much googling on the subject you can't see the letters on my keys for "s-y-n-c t-h-u-n-d-e-r-b-i-r-d"
If someone has a good solution for a contact book that can sync BOTH TB and PDA's by all means throw it up here and lets get down to business.
2. Seems this little issue has trickled down to the pda world as well.
3. I'm looking for a TRUE SYNC! NOT a thunderbird workaround replacing the contacts file. Does birdie or Finch do that with the Titan/Mogul?

Not at all. S740 is just so amazing. I am quite surprised so few people actually own it.
3G support for US possible?
Hi,
I was wondering if anybody knows if it would be possible to make a version that adds the 850MHz band for HSDPA? Maybe someone is already working on this? I do not know if the restriction to 900/2100MHz is due to its hardware design. I searched the site but seem to find contradicting info on this.
I own a Fuze, which is nice and fast on 3G but after having used the S710 and S730 I very much prefer one-hand navigation for everything else. The only thing keeping me from buying the S740 is that I want fast Internet access.
Thank you in advance for any info on this.
I think that limitation is hardware-based and therefor cannot be just "added"
HTC might work on US version of S740 but I have heard no rumors about such thing.
Guys I own one since a 3 weeks now and I acompletely in LOVE...
It is a "She" definitely (Rose)
I own one since 1 week and I m quite happy with it. Just a few things could be improved:
- Battery, mine last ~24hrs with a normal usage, HSDPA on, Btooth off, wlan off, Skype and MSN running and mail check every 10 min. But If I m in an area where HDSPA is always available (like... HOME) the battery last a lot less.
- Mine numeric keypad does a noisy noise.... like if there was sand behind the keys.
- Meteo doesn't work with other cities ( I tried everything... )
- I can t find a decent Navigation (GPS) software and a browser that actually work with the browser game oGame (I tried explorer, opera mini, opera mobile)

MSN, Skype and periodical e-mail checking produce quite some traffic and require a few CPU cycles, too. Both of these factors are quite good battery consumers.

Yes, I mean HTC weather, the problem is that I cannot add other cities (present on accuweather). There are a few tricks for other HTC devices but they don t seem to work. (The cities can be easily added but the device is unable to download the data from accuweather)

Hmm, I like my smartphones. (S710/S730/S740) Easy one Finger Navigation, you must not toogle between fingertips and Keyboards and much faster.
The most of our female Users like much more Smartphone Edition, is much easier to use for standard things.
And the today "New Email" Plugin is much better:
It shows "all" incoming Emails, also the Emails that are automaticly routed via Exchange Rules to Subfolders. With a "normal" PDA you see only New Emails that comes into your Inbox, with S740 you see all "New" Emails that are automaticly moved to Subfolders into the Today screen. That´s really the "best of" of the S740
I Wonder, why not Touch HD, Touch Pro, Diamond has this feature??

I hate touch
I hate touch screens, this is the ideal device.
i wish it was a big thinner, but frankly I am so please that HTC, Samsung, Nokia (s60v3) and others continue to manufacture non-touch devices.
They are so much faster to use, less input error, and no constant cleaning of screen!
yes that´s right. I use sometimes Nokia E66/E71 with Symbian OS, for quick & Dirty use on the road, that´s really fine, only the Nokias Mail for Exchange (MfE) Application is not so good like the one of S740. When this has same charakter sometimes, I will switch completly to Nokia´s symbian OS. ;-)

Completely Remove Sprint Picture Mail Account - How?

I have zero interest in Sprint Picture Mail. However, the account is sort of "hardwired" into the phone and there is no (official) way to disable it that I can find. It doesn't even show up in the list of accounts under Options in Pocket Outlook.
Does anybody know some sort of tweak to get rid of this account?
This would include...
1. Removing it from "send" options when emailing pictures (album)
2. Account chooser for Pocket Oulook
3. TF3D icon on the mail tab

I believe its an extra cab that installs after a hard reset. Try hard resetting, and stopping the customization.
If there are any Sprint cabs you want they are floating around here or ppcgeeks.

Well, that's definitely a solution, but I'd rather not have to hard reset my device. I have the settings just the way I like it now.
Does anybody know how to get rid of it after it's already installed?

I'd love to know how to dump this as well without a hard reset and manually adding the all the other useful cabs myself.
Thanks for posing the question, now to wait for a good answer....
Try downloading the cab from somewhere, installing it, it will say the previous version has to be removed, after it removes the previous version, hit cancel to not install the new version.
Might be worth a shot, although I don't know why you wouldn't want picture mail, it's not like you have to use it, but why remove features?

As for why, good question. I don't really know why it bothers me so much. Maybe just because I like less clutter? Maybe it's an OCD type of thing. :-D One of the first things I did was install Advanced Config and remove the sprint music/tv tabs because i didn't want to use them, even though i didn't have to use them. :-D

I'm definitely going to try that! Good idea.
As for why, I don't like the extra account when I got from my text to email accounts BUT the main reason is because it works like POO POO! I hate how it is so damn clunky in it's operation and even though I don't use it to send picmail, if I get a picmail it goes in there.
I applaud Sprint for trying but damn, try a little harder next time. I could have done without this particular crap a$$ feature.
I'm also very interested in dumping Sprint Picture Mail. Since we're limited to six accounts in Pocket Outlook, its being there keeps me from adding in another account I actually use, so it's frustrating that they would add that in by default. Tried deleting all of the registry keys, installed files etc that are done as part of the CAB installer, but it's STILL there! Haven't been able to figure out how to bypass the customization step, otherwise I'd do a HR in a heartbeat and see if skipping the CAB install would work, so still awaiting a solution to this...
i tried but sprint mail was not completely removed , i even installed the other version and it got completely installed and i could not un install it using memaid ! there should be a smarter way toget rid of this sprint B/S.
i don't think it can be removed this way.
you will need to load a custom rom without the picmail.
in the time you have wasted waiting for an easy solution you could have flashed and reloaded all of your settings.
Not everybody wants a to use a cooked ROM. You know, it really gets tiring when know-it-alls pop into threads and instead of contributing something useful just say "you should have just done x,y,z instead of doing what you actually wanted to do." It's already been established earlier in the thread that hard resetting (which running a cooked ROM requires) is not an acceptible solution. I do not appear to be alone in wanting an alternative solution. If you don't have a solution or a constructive comment, can't you just, you know, not post anything?
maan76 - Thanks for trying that method out. I've been too busy to tinker. At some point, I'm going to try scouring the registry and DLLs in \Windows\. Pocket Office is extended just like any other MS app -- through DLLs. So unless Picture Mail has been hardwired through some bizarre method or bundled together with a load of other useful features into one big unremovable DLL, I have got to think that there must be some DLL somewhere that can be unregistered somehow -- it just hasn't been discovered yet. I hope anyway! But you never know...

I echo thx2100 but will say the MAIN reasons I don't want to just run a cooked ROM right now is that the only real advantage at this time is they are light on the apps to free up ram. I come from the 6700 and 6800 and I'm in heaven with the speed and ease that the TP has when running multiple apps.
None of the new ROM's right now really dazzle me but if one comes around that is hot sh$# then I might run it.
With my stock ROM I have no surprises and only one really annoying feature which is the picmail but I can live with.
yep I totally agree thx 200,that there is no need for the cooked ROMs right now for the TP , why I am risking myself in a cooked ROM ?????????? to save RAM nop ! RAM is highhhhhhh and we have plenty of it in tp not like the mogul when the people were racing to build a ROM with higher free RAM after booting ! to save couple megabytes !, now with this strong hardware in TP , we have plenty of RAM .
the other reason which drove us before for flashing ROMs is the new applications (ex Manila for htc 6800 mogul ,u tube......etc) now we ve got the most updated versions of these software in the touch pro.
no logic reason for flashing ROMs at this moment , probably when new software will come up or super tweaks that require flashing ROMs , but definetely not now , we are still new and still learning about the Touch pro.I am seeing junior members building ROMs cause it is easy with this 288 MB RAM , I bet nobody was able to build ROMs for the Apache or the Mogul cause of the limited RAM.
we have a long way in improvement in touch pro before building ROMs.

Using MSCEInfo, I've been able to identify every registry change and file modification made by the Sprint PictureMail CAB and have undone them all to no effect. So, either some other routine is making changes related to PicMail or it's hardcoded into the ROM. Hopefully, it's not the latter...
Good luck and please let us know if you find out how to do it. I've pretty much given up and am just waiting to find a stripped down ROM for the Sprint Touch Pro that doesn't include PictureMail, Touch Guide Mobile or any of the other bloatware that Sprint decided we had to have.
Solution Removal Sprint Picture Mail
I found the solution this morning and I successfully removed the sprint picture mail and I also successfully added my yahoo mail
here what you need to do
1-install the sprint picture mail Cab
2-using resco file explorer or anything else go to windows folder
3-in resco explorer , unclick hide hidden files and unclick hilde file extensions
4-look for sprint picture mail cab , next to it you will find sprint picture mail.exe and some other files cary the same name.
5-this .exe is made by the second installation you just made not ROM related , but still you can not remove it ,for some reason.
so rename it into anything .exe , and do the same for the rest of the files including the cab , not delete them all you should be able to do so .
I did these steps exactly in that order and I opened the messages folder and I was soooo happy not seeing the picture mail account .
Good luck guys

Can you point out which specific cab you installed (was it just the one built into the TP ROM?) and which file(s) you removed to get this to work?
Also, can you confirm that this removed the Sprint PictureMail account from both the Outlook account list AND the Mail TF3D tab???

Well I seem to have completely broke my ability to get picmail so I'll hold back on any instructions. I'll do some more testing and may just have to install the freakn program again.... OR I might load up a bare bones ROM and load cab's I see fit, 1 will undoubtedly NOT make the cut.

Emails not cached for offline use.....

Hi there, I have searched, I'm sure the answer must be here, but can't find it.
Am I right in saying that the email (not Gmail) program doesn't download emails to allow you to view them when you might not have a connection to a network?
I can't find the setting for this for the life of me, is this one reason to go for a 3rd party program?
Many thanks...
Screen shot the email you want to view for later?
Not really an answer but an alternative.

Thanks, but the whole problem happens when I'm moving about my work which is a large building, I haven't opened up an email yet and when I go to I happen to be in an area where there's no network (cellular or wifi), so I haven't had the chance to screen shot it first.
Any other ideas? Surely others must have found it maddening too?
Sorry to be a pain, but is everyone else experiencing this? Any workarounds?
Many thanks

Not sure if you're correct. I suppose you're referring to the stock email program that comes with the SGS2?. This has been modified slightly by Samsung - but, either that, or the stock android email client both do download a certain amount of your emails from the server - Go into the mail program,clickon the options button,click More...select account Settings,select "Size to retrieve emails", and choose 5 kb as a start.

That's the problem-I have no option to change the size downloaded.
Any other UK O2 users out there?
Can any other O2 UK users confirm whether they have this setting option our how they've got around this problem?
Many thanks.

[tips] how you can make whatsapp 'last seen' unchanged

well.. ever feel someone watching you over whatsapp last seen status and get a text from him/her saying 'hey you, why dont you replies my text.. i can see you now'.. or maybe you just meet this new girl and keep text her on whatsapp but you scared your girlfriend will notice that you are online at that time..or maybe similar situation.. you tell..
actually it is simple to make you whatsapp last seen status unchanged.. whenever you open whatsapp.. whatsapp server (i think) will detect your present and will display your last seen status whenever you friend open his/her chat conversation. so how to make your whatsapp last seen freeze ? to do so.. open whatsapp when there is no connection available on your cellphone. im using data connection. im using data toggle widget on my homescreen (data/wifi toggle, depend on what connection you are)..
1# disable data/wifi connection using toggle widget (notification toggle should do to)
2# open your whatsapp.. read, send, whatever you like to do so.
3# close whatsapp.
4# enable data/wifi connection from your widget/notification toggle.
and you're done.
pro -your whatsapp last seen status will never change until you open whatsapp with data/wifi connection are connected
con - you cant see your friends last seen status, unable to download files.
should be okay if you just open your whatsapp with connected connection few times a day and make your friends knew that you are online that day and keep the rest of the times invisible.. hahaha..
good luck to whoever try to cheat on his girlfriend.
Wouldn't it be easier to use another application specifically for your affair? Not cheating would be the best idea, but I'm just working in your framework. Don't use just Whatsapp, use Whatsapp and a second app specifically for your paramour.
use another home launcher, hide whatapp, then go to data usage, restrict whatapp data usage. When yr wife is ard u, u just use data connection. When yr wife is not ard u, use wifi to check the hiden whatapp whether there is msg anot.

in my country (malaysia) everybody just go crazy about using whatsapp and forget about viber..kakao talk..and so on.. almost all people here in my country are on whatsapp :laugh: .. to make my affair(if i ever had) or girlfriend moving from whatsapp to other ? that will be a big NO i think
Good tip but poor example..!
You could have said that without sighting the example of cheating your girlfriend.. Could be useful when you don't want people to bug you and replying only to your girlfriend !!

u madde me laugh my freaking ass out!!!
I will use data toggle like that now too as the only way to access whatsapp.. i have big stress because friends expect direct answer every time i log on.. i hate whatapp for this.. so now with this i hope i will have more peace:good:
lol Man you got the point
i was always looking for some kind of solution for whatsapp as some people can't understand that you may get busy with your own life and cant replay to them when ever they chat to you.
but what is the solution for others if you don't respond to them by whatsapp they call you asking why
Lmao @ the point of this topic!
Although I fail to see how you use whatsapp without a data connection?
I also (apart from sending pictures or messaging someone abroad) see the point in using whatsapp, doesn't everyone have unlimited free texts nowadays anyway?

It really works, thanks!
Also, you dont have to kill whatsapp, just hitting home after sending the message works.. then, with whatsapp running in the background, i enabled wifi/data and my message was sent, but last seen remained unchanged.

Found out about that recently when i was looking for a way to not always appear online...
And the example ...well there is some truth in it. I dont wanna know why my girlfriend is on and doesnt write back... neither she should know when and how long i am online... same for my students... who dont have to know i am using whatsapp at night when i got to teach them in the next morning
Yes!
Yes. I used this trick most of the time. It does not necessarily be used to cheat on your girlfriend/boyfriend. I use it whenever i receive a whatsapp message from someone i dont want want to talk to that day so to clear the notification that i keep receiving, i turn off my wifi, open whatsapp and clicked the message. Ta-da! Haha just saying and i also use it so tha t my ex wont see that im online. Haha ^^
What a funny solution!
Though it works! Lolz!
Ps : I'm not using it to cheat my gf....
Haha!
Just using it to convey I'm busy only to some people who keep looking to bug me whenever I get ol....

nope. indian govt is retarded
can the whatsapp status 'last seen' be updated with 'real' connection?
Well, to make it a real life case: my girlfriend was supposed to be on the TGV at 20:37. But that was also the last time she was seen on whatsapp. She has a foreign SIM card so she doesnt roam on her smartphone (I know because i see the specifications). The TGV has free wifi in business class, but for the rest in 2nd class you have to pay to get access. Assuming that she didnt use the smartphone (which is running on Android 2.3 and i know it has some problems with whatsapp concerning wifi connection), could there have been some sort of connection that updated her status?
Thanks,
David

Thats the best use of this trick.
Doesn't work for me I disable Wifi with the Wifi Toggle Widget of Sony and then I open WhatsApp. After that, I write a person a message and then I went back to homescreen and enable my Wifi with the Wifi Toggle Widget of Sony, but the person, which I've written to, can see my last online Status
