I have text messaging with my Rogers ATT Canada account. I can receive emails ok, if they are addressed to the address [email protected], but when I try to send, i keep getting a bounce back saying "when sending e-mail via sms, the first word must be an email address". This is exactly what I am doing. I make the "to:" address 10 zeros, then put in a subject, and in the main body, I first type an email address, then a space, then the message, and it always bounces back. anyone know why?
thanks,
Peter
ok, i figured it out
turns out to send email via sms, you cannot put anything in the subject line provided by the xda messaging interface. my sms server needs the message to be formatted as follows.
in the "To:" field, enter ten 0's (which is what I had been doing)
the very next thing the sms server needs to see is an email address. so, if you enter a subject in the subject line, it will view that as the intended recipient's email address, and bounce it back. Unless, of course, you put an email address in the subject line.
so, there you go.

I say unique because I may be the only one that is requesting help with this so don't put too much weight into it but if you do think you can help, I would appreciate it.
When receiving a text from an actual phone number, the "callback" feature, when pressed, calls the number back from which the text was recieved. At work(airline pilot), we have the ability to set parameters for trips that become available and the mainframe will send us a text when our parameters are met. The address in the text is in the form of an email address....ie.... [email protected]. Many of these open trips are highly sought after( worth a lot of money) so the ability to call crew scheduling back expeditiously is a high priority. On the Samsung Instinct, all I had to do was make a contact in the phone book that matched that email address and the callback feature matched the two up and I could call back immediately with only one keystroke. This phone(whether Handcent or native phonebook) tries to call the email address(regardless of the fact that I have an exact match in the phonebook)....which obviously it cant do so I get an immediate "call ended" on the dialer. Is there any way to edit the call back number or match the numbers up in the phonebook so the callback feature in the running SMS page will work when the text is sent from something other than a phone number??? I don't have the time to go thru 5 menus and 5-10 keystrokes....the trip is gone by then and I miss the opportunity of potentially thousands of dollars(and/or more time at home).
If I cannot figure this out, I will have to return the Hero and go back to the Instinct. It literally is thousands of dollars at stake.
PS...I posted this same question on the Handcent website but so far, no reply.
Thanks for reading and TIA!
It sucks but I will be returning the Hero because of this.....I am tired of watching the money go by and not being able to grab it.
If you use googlemail -
In any email you get a circle next to the mail sender. Sometimes its coloured green, sometimes not (doesn't matter which)
Press the circle and you got straight to the contact for the sender and can ring out straight from there. Hope you haven't sent it back yet!
The problem is getting the phone to recognize and sync the 2 contacts together. Handcent has a callback feature. But if you activate it, it dials 6245... which I guess is where the text is sent from. But the header of the text is in email format. I have made contacts with both 6245 and the header address in the hopes that the phone will sync the inbound text to the contact. The Instinct does this successfully. So far, this phone has not.
Hello all,
I am using various pop3 accounts on my HD2 with the built-in messaging system. Like many people, I’d like to retrieve sent items (from my mobile) in my desktop Outlook. A well known workaround is to BCC yourself on all outgoing emails so that your desktop Outlook can retrieve emails sent from your mobile.
The problem is you have to enter your email address in the BCC field MANUALLY for all outgoing emails. I have read many posts (on this and other forums) stating that it is impossible to do that automatically with the built-in messaging system.
The posts I read were quite old (2006-2009) so I was wondering if that changed. Also, in my case, I’d like to BCC all outgoing emails to ONE UNIQUE email address (such as “[email protected]”). This should be less complicated because [email protected] can be hard-coded somewhere (the automation process doesn’t have to retrieve the sender’s address).
So, is there any workaround (a registry tweak I guess) to open all new emails with the BCC field automatically filled with [email protected] ?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Nobody has an answer?
I get "pages" sent to my phone using an automated system that send the message by SMS. These messages come into my phone from an email address. The biggest problem that I run into is that the email address is different for each message.
I need to be able to set a different notification tone for these messages than my other messages, so that I can be alerted as soon as I get these, where my regular texts will usually wait until I get a few minutes to look at them.
Theses messages will come from [email protected]. The number of the alert will be different in each message. If they all came from the same address, this would be a simple thing, and I would already have it done.
So my question is, does anyone know of any way that I can add a contact or any other means of differentiating these messages using the domain name of the email address?

Hi,
There's something I'd like to do on my samsung galaxy note that I was able to do on my Symbian-based device in the past, but I can't figure out how to do it under Android.
I'd like to save multiple SMS drafts per recipient. However, my Galaxy note 2 only seems to permit me to save one SMS draft per recipient, with each subsequent draft overwriting the previous draft for that same recipient.
Here's why I'd like to have this capability:
If I want to type a long SMS to someone (more than 160 characters), what I like to do is split the message at logical places such as after commas, sentence endings, etc. I would do this by getting close to the end of a given SMS message and then stopping it at the point that I choose, saving it as a draft, and then continuing my text in a new SMS starting at the beginning of the next sentence, phrase, etc. Then, once the set of drafts is completed, I will first proofread and make corrections in the entire group of drafts, and only then will I manually send them off, one after the other.
Yes, I know I can type a long message and the SMS app will automatically split it into pieces after 160 characters, but that often splits words or breaks sentences and phrases in places that I don't want them broken.
Here's how I try to accomplish this on my G1:
Invoke the Messaging app.
Select New Message.
Select recipient.
Compose first SMS.
Select the Back key (draft 1 gets saved).
Select New Message.
Select same recipient as before.
Compose second SMS.
Select the Back key (draft 2 gets saved).
However, at this point, draft 1 has been overwritten by draft 2. In other words, only draft 2 remains.
Can anyone think of a way for me to accomplish what I want (or at least something similar) on my samsung galaxy note 2?
Thanks in advance.
no one ??
This isn't possible in the stock messaging app. You can use GO SMS Pro or Handcent SMS, which allow you to create folders and save messages in them just like in Symbian. So you can save parts of the long message in a folder and send them one by one. I like to use the stock messaging app in my devices though, so the way I do this is to type out the message till the limit, copy it and paste it in a note taking app, then copy it back to the messaging app when I need to send it. In ICS and JellyBean, when you select a bunch of text to copy, you get a share button to directly share it by SMS and other stuff. So it's very easy and doesn't involve copy-pasting twice. I just select, share, done. I find this to take the same number of steps and be just as easy as saving to a folder and sending. If you must do it that way, then one of the above apps should be right for you.
I regularly send long messages, sometimes even 10-15 messages long if I'm copy-pasting some stuff from the internet to someone, but I've never experienced your problem or messages breaking up and missing content. They just reach the recipient as one big message. Although, this behaviour is dependent on the mobile network provider, so I can't speak for yours. But I have never seen this happen with any GSM provider I'm my country. I'm guessing yours must be CDMA?

Could you please tell me which note taking app you use with ics thank you in advance. Tom
This is merely a work-around for how to work on multiple drafts to a recipient. First add your name and mobile device phone # to your Contacts List. Refine your first draft as thoroughly as possible. Then address that message to your own mobile device phone #, and send it. You'll see that message twice, as both your "Sent" & your "Received" message. Your first draft is "parked" in your mobile device's phone #. Now you can work on your next draft, as you would normally. If you decide to send your first draft to the recipient, just forward it from your mobile device's inbox!
Hi
I have a Android phone and have it hooked with my workplace email account which uses Microsoft exchange 2007.
I am getting my emails through on the phone but the issue I have is in my outlook I have rules setup so if someone sends me and email who is part of my team i have rules setup so their emails go into their own seperate subfolder.
The issue is if i get an email from one of these collesgues where i have setup a rule i dont get a email message alert on my phone that i have received an email.
However if anyone sends me an email straight to my inbox i get an alert without no issue.
What's odd is we have a network monitoring tool and if that alerts and sends me an email I have again set up a rule to filter those messages to a different subfolder. I seem to get alerted on the phone for these emails which I have found very strange. If this sub folder works why don't I get them for the rest is my question?
I have rechecked my rules in outlook and can confirm they all set up exactly the same.
Is this setup incorrect or can I not receive emails which are in sub folders?
Is there a way to solve this, could an android app sort this as i am just using the native email app which comes with the Galaxy S3.
Thanks

There must be some differences between the rules or the folders. It is normal on an email client that if you have a rule to move an e-mail to another folder on arrival, it will do so without an alert. The only thing i can think of is that your colleagues' rules are "server" rules (run on server before e-mail gets to outlook) and the alert rule is client based (arrives on server, delivered to Outlook then rule runs in outlook)....
One thing to test is if you change the alerts folder to be one of your colleagues, do you stop getting notifications?
