Email accounts disappearing with WM6 roms? - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development

Hello Folks,
I apologize if this topic has been covered before. I've tried to search with no good results.
My problem with the 5 or so WM6 ROMS that I've tried have been that after a few days my email accounts would disappear from my list. Is there a fix for this?
TIA!
Homer

You have not to apologize, but to search
Look for it:
-> wm6-mailaccountrepair.exe

yes, a nice tool: http://nicolasmauri.blogspot.com/index.html
to avoid this account loss try is: don't softreset your device, will it is running. close all apps, switch to standby, wait 30 seconds, then softreset with your stylus. so you can be sure, that there aren't any write-processes on important data like for example your mail accounts.

SMS - Contacts O2 XDA

Hi Guys,
Just a quick question regarding contacts. I sync with my outlook contacts at work, when i try and send a sms i press the contacts button. The thing is, it shows me an entry for each type of number
ie
Ali 07833454543
Ali +442078763345
Ali [email protected]
so thats three entries for one person !... as you can imagin it makes the list very long.
is there anything i can do, so that it just shows one line for each person, but when you select it, it shows the other numbers?
thanks
Ali
any ideas chaps?
a no would do :roll:
Mine does the same mate - don't know how to resolve it, SMS Name doesn't fix it that's for sure, and I've loaded SER 1.2 now... I guess it's 'cos you're using multiple service types, you have to see the different addresses (POP3/SMS)
in outlook, are your contacts displayed correctly?
What would be REALLY intelligent would be some way to have a shortcuts or "speed dial" list for SMS addressing. I only send SMS to a half-dozen people out of my 225 contacts. It would have been smart to allow you to address an SMS with the speed dial contact or some other list.
Any developers want to create some software for this? Guaranteed I'll buy it.

ppc2003
hi
in ppc 2003 you dont have to find the contact by pressing the contacts iclon you just type there name in and it gives you options on the name also it has a character counter so you know how many you have typed. it also seems to run faster and my battery seems to last longer. i havent set the internet up yet but i will this coming week.

Lost Contact!

Hi all,
Im sx56 wallaby user and I have this problem with my Contact program. Sometimes when I hit the Contact icon then nothing happen, only 'close' icon appear on the bar, but sometimes it just run smoothly.
Is this problem connected with the 'permanent save' setting on my Contact? When this problem starting again I just reset my device and it temporary gone. One time when I reset, then my device start to sync the contact and I found that my almost all my contacts were duplicated in the list. Please someone help me with this.. Thx.

I use O2 xda mini. I think Permanent Save has a design fault. I have over 2000 contacts. There are many contacts with the same last and first name. For example, David Chan. When I do a restore after a hard reset, if I have more than 1 David Chan, it will prompt me for duplicated contact, and ask me to "overwrite" or "skip". Both options end me up restoring only 1 David Chan, and I lost the remaining 3 or 4 David Chan. Permanent Save is totally "unsafe".

Gmail "The message(s) could not be sent..."

***Update 10/29/08***
Just found this update, supposedly from someone high up at Microsoft. Seems plausible to me.
***Update 12/1/08***
I "guess" that fix made the problem a little better for me, but it didn't stop the error. The good news is MS has released a fix for the problem.
We'll see...
I'm going the reverse the instructions from the preceeding "fix" (registry edit), delete my current gmail account, soft reset, apply the MS patch, then recreate my account.
***End of update 12/1/08***
If you've used gmail for outgoing email long enough I'll bet you've seen this error while trying to send at some point, which then prevents you from sending any more emails via gmail:
"The message could not be sent. Check that you have network coverage and that your account information is correct. Then try sending again."
I've seen it using many dcd/no2chem roms using gps and non gps radios.
There are loads of "fixes" on various forums that suggest specifying server port numbers, requiring/not requiring SSL, etc. .It's been my experience that only one fix fixes the issue consistently.

Creating this new account with a different name is the only fix I've found that works consistently, at least for a couple weeks.
Status...
I said in the other thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2398125&postcount=82) I would wait to test... Well guess I am not good at waiting.
After recreated with a UNIQUE name it is sending fine. I will see how long it lasts.
Another thread here with some of the setup info.

Yup, I've needed to create unique names from Gmail to Gmail6 before to get messages sent.
Never seems to work for more than a couple weeks.
7-12 thru 7-18... Looks like I am on Gmail02
This is a real pain!
That it is!
All I've been able to do is file an error report with Google.
Sure would be nice if someone knew Pocket Outlook well enough to investigate...
I'm having the same trouble and don't use Google for email.
I monitor 4 accounts with my Tilt and the one that causes me problems is the Exchange account, using IMAP and SMTP. The other 3 IMAP accounts use Courier/Qmail and they have never posed a problem.
I even tried sending my Exchange account email using my Qmail SMTP server and it too triggers the error.
It has gotten to be such a pain in the ass that I'm evaluating FlexMail which works so far, but is a bit slow.
My money is on a problem with Pocket Outlook.

For what it's worth, I use a free app called Seven (http://community.seven.com/) to have my Gmail messages pushed to pOutlook my phone, and I've never encountered this problem that you guys are describing.. and i've been using it for about 8 months now.
Thanks for the tip on Seven. Nice how it runs behind the scenes, preserving Pocket Outlook's interface. Too bad how it'll only retrieve messages < 30 days old, but it'll be a good fix for me if it stops these errors...
Huh, I hadn't noticed that limitation, but now that you mention it, it would be kinda nice to be able to go back in my email history a little further (heck, we've got enough internal storage space for it). Anyway, good luck with it.
There's always native gmail...
I prefer to use native gmail running in GC's Java midlet. With native gmail, you get...
a familiar gmail interface
20MB attachments received right on your 6800
full access to read and modify your contacts
access to your complete gmail history, with search
your gmail labels
THREADED messages!
What's missing? A way for your 68000 to inform you, "You've got mail".
Updated first post.
Does this affect DCD roms or just the stock Verizon one? or both?
omg
I have been tearing my hair out since I have had my phone over this. could not figure it out, only solution was to delete the account and re-add
I will follow and try this
Thanks
Hi - I have a similar issue with gmail. Incoming works perfectly via imap, however outgoing emails do not work at all. I tried the smtp fix patch from MS, changing outgoing smtp.gmail.com to smtp.gmail.com:465 or 587 and it still doesn't work. Also tried to create the account again to no avail.
I used the standard settings on gmail site https://mail.google.com/support/bin/...y?answer=78886 - dunno what I am missing here!! Any help would be nice
I am trying this on a brand new htc diamond.
I am using FlexMail 4 and have never had a problem sending or receiving with gMail IMAP. I can not, either, send emails using ms pocket outlook. I can receive emails just fine. This is a bug in MS Pocket Outlook as described by earlier post.
I "guess" that fix made the problem a little better for me, but it didn't stop the error. The good news is MS has released a fix for the problem.
We'll see...
I'm going the reverse the instructions from the preceeding "fix" (registry edit), delete my current gmail account, soft reset, apply the MS patch, then recreate my account.
I don't know if you guys are using 6.1 or not, I just found this thread while googling the error message and found a solution that worked for me.
Here is the official Microsoft patch for this problem and it seems to have worked (at least so far) for me. I just downloaded the cab, my phone restarted, and sending emails works again.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...d2dd-44f2-86e5-1e53aad7fb7a&displaylang=en&tm
Hope that helps.
I was and still am running 6.1 (dcd 3.2.6). After applying that patch I don't get the error as often, but I still get it with gmail and my work IMAP. I haven't had to recreate any accounts since the patch, only a soft reset's required to start sending again. So, for me the patch has been an improvement but not a fix.
To me, a fix here will be the best part about 6.5, assuming they fixed it (I have no idea)...
Thanks all.
Just to say the MS patch seems to have fixed things - this evening at least.
Interestingly, I've got three different gmail-based accounts on my phone. Two of them stopped sending, but the third remained unaffected.
Thanks again!

Slowdown on more than 20 E-mails

Has anybody else problems with extreme slowdown when downloading more than 20 E-mails or so? The download itself goes slower and slower, and then it starts affecting the rest of the phone. I sometimes have to turn off the phone because it becomes totally unusable. I use the latest Energy ROM with Max Sense but I have had this for a long time.
No problem with my mail accounts, have downloaded close to 40 mails from one account without hanging/slowing. I too use Energy, tried latest 29007 & 29017 builds but for me 23699 Dinik is my choice due to better sense stability & software scrolling compatability.
What email account is it and is it IMAP or POP3 ?
I have never tried the Dinik ROM, maybe I should try it? I have never had any problems with instability, though. But I stay iwth the 21-series ROMs, the one with the bottom start menu clashes with so many of the standard programs that I use.
The account is a regular mail account with my E-mail services provider online.no, and I use POP3 to download. I tried just now to hard reset the phone and download the 126 messages that are on the account from today and yesterday without using anything HTC on the home screen, and this time they came like clockwork. So it's obvious it's something with the updating of the HTC stuff.
You hard reset & avoided HTC homescreen both in 1 test ?
So which one actually resolved it !
What programs do you have issues with on bottom start menu builds ? I use the 23699 as it is 100% compatable with all software I use. 29xxx is a pain & with no real benefits to me.
My account is POP3,also have IMAP account. All work fine via Sense menu Mail tab send/receive button. Hope you can eliminate this problem.
I know it isn't the hard reset, because I actually did that earlier and had the slowdown. Should have mentioned that, sorry. The hard reset is because I changed ROM today, so I can experiment a bit without having to do Sprite Backups and restores all the time. And I have to do a reset (I think...) to make the messaging system forget that those mails have been downloaded before.
I actually can't remember what programs I had problems with, but I have tried the 29xxx builds several times and always flashed into a 21xxx after a few hours. Last time I tried was last fall, and I haven't changed any of my core programs in 2-3 years (there are no updates to them), so I'm quite sure I can't use that now either.
But I see one difference here: You use the Sense mail tab. I don't. I only use the messaging tab and open the original Windows Mobile messaging. I really don't like the message system in HTC, and I even turn off threaded messaging. You can say that I'm a bit old (pushing 50) and set in my ways when it comes to what I like. Still I found out that the Max Sense build really fits me, so I have stuck with that. I'll try downloading mail with the mail tab and see if that changes anything. I'll be back with the result soon!
Nope, that did not help. I get the same slowdown after a new hard reset, and putting in the mail tab when it goes beyond 20 E-mails or so. I really wish I could find a solution for this, it's bugging the s...t out of me.
I get this too but only on a gprs connection. Hsdpa or wifi is fine. Also using an energy Rom.
Sent from my fingers to your face...
Yeh I too do not use threaded sms but I do like sense tabs for quick sms & email viewing although 99% of any mail task is handled directly within WM mail client.
Many of my apps never got updated for WM6 but they are all luckily working ok for me.
I use GPRS Edge mainly for mail checks & downloads. Have regular inbox amounts around 20 to mid 30s & never had an issue !
Are you downloading the whole mail or have you capped a limit in the settings ? might help you pending on your needs !
I have a 2 kb limit, so not the whole mail. What are you using?
I have 2KB for Hotmail account & 20KB on my work accounts.
Do you have same issues via WIFI/ActiveSync/GPRS connection methods !
If software conflicts are ruled out & it happens on all connection types it is either related to your mail provider server or more likely a slight problem with your chosen ROM flavour.
Always WiFi, never any other type of mail check. I have a mobile router in my car, and I'm in my home office 99 % of the work week, so I don't need anything else. I'm guessing that it's something with the Max Sense ROM. I tried downloading only the headers just now, and that only moved the slowdown fase to around 30 E-mails. So there is something weird here. I may have to try out one of the Cookie Home Tab ROMs even though I love the Max Sense way of doing things. I'll probably get back to the Max Sense, though. If I'm careful to download mail and delete it from the server with my computer I won't get over 10-15 mails.
Mmm, is their any way you could forward priority mail to another account specifically used on your device thus limiting mail you recieve ! I realize this may not suit your use but thought worth mentioning since of your love with current ROM.
I count myself lucky my favourite ROM flavour & older 23699 build works 99.9% perfect in my daily use ... good luck ...
No, there isn't. I'll just have to live with it, thanks.

[Q] SMS Contact Lookup Crashes Message

Hi,
I'm running a HTC HD2 with Windows Mobile 6.5 running ROM 3.14.110.1 WWE.
Recently, whenever I try to send an SMS and type the contact's surname into the "To:" box - the messaging application disappears off the screen. No draft SMS is saved, and when I return to the messaging application - no evidence of the SMS is present.
If I click the Contact Lookup icon in the top right hand corner, I can manually select contacts through this method - but obviously it's a lot slower than simply typing a surname and picking out a contact.
I've tried removing my MS Exchange ActiveSync connection, and then re-establishing it after a Soft Reboot - but the problem persists.
Has anyone experienced this, and can suggest a fix?
Regards,
Richard Tubb.
Im glad I'm not the only one this happens too, I just thought it must be my fat fingers pressing the wrong buttons....
Sorry I cant help but will be watching to see if there are any helpful hints on how to fix this error..
How many text messages have you got. . . . Coz when i was getting this and after a hard reset, I didn't restore my test message and the problem want away.
Don't now as never found a solution yet.
