Question about HTC Mail email attachment size limits - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello folks,
I am asking this on behalf of a collegue at work who is considering buying an Android phone (Hero or Desire).
Assuming he did go for one of the above phones, he wants to set up the HTC Mail app with his work email account, which should be straight forward enough, but he would also like to set a limit on the incoming attachment size so it does not eat into his data plan.
Is this possible? If not natively then perhaps with an app?
He currently has a HTC TyTn which does have this functionality.
I would test it for him but I only use Gmail and I really don't want work emails on my personal phone.
Apologies if this has been discussed already, I did search but didn't find any useful info.
Cheers,
Lee

Yep - on HTC standard mail app you can set download size limit. Just menu > more > Send & Recieve > Mail size limit.

Mark all mails "as read" - any solution?

Hi all.
concidering amount of the brains (and I mean in a good way), passing those forums, how come nobody haven't find a solution to mark all unread e-mails "as read". At the moment I´m using POP3 account and I got about 30-50 e-mails per day + some spam. So it is quite frustrating either open every single e-mail or just to ignore green sign with number of unread e-mails in the home screen.
... or is it only me who will find this irritating...
anyway - cheers to everybody. Great community here. In the pass I was probably only WM user in my neighborhood, who could actually use it ...thanks to XDA, as all the problems I had, got answers here.
What about check all email accounts for new email solution?
You can delete em all... but may be that's not what you want. So if you don't wanna read them all, you should be able to change your POP3 setting on the mail server in such a way that it does not send you the spam. You can also choose from within the HTC mail app how many mails per day you want to download. I know this is not the solution but am just suggesting something.
I would like to know that too! It is really annoying to read emails you dont want to read or you know what is in the email.
Would be nice to have an application for it

just to clarify... my problem isn't the spam and not the quantity. As Im using my laptop as primary worktool for checking email etc, im using my phone only when outside the office, basically in the near future I stat to use exchange anyway (waiting the setup), but this is something at the moment that I would like to solve (as it was solved when using WM diamond). Just imagine, have read all 30 mails received by noon and driving out of office, when checking mail while driving, I got all the mails received/read earlier shown as "new". Simplest thing to do, when not using IMAP, is mark them all read, which should be something easiest tasks with WM phone but not with Android... I hope you understand ....
basically I have lot of unread e-mails. I will pick up the ones I think are important (based on the subject) and read them, all others I will ignore and I would mark them "as read".

OK, the bottom line is the mails you don't regard as important, you don't wanna read them ever... so why not "bulk delete" them??!! Cuz I imagine you just don't wanna see the mail icon displaying those mails as a green bubble. You can do so!! When in the HTC mail app where all emails are listed, press menu and select delete >> you'll see a X icon in from of every email >> you can select the ones you don't wanna read ever and then delete them all at once. I found it quite handy. But the Exchange server would be great once you get it. I just hope that Yahoo mail also becomes IMAP.
Ok you can delete, but stilll if you want to save some emails for later. This is a missing function.
Open GMail in your browser (so not the hero app):
Do a search :
in:inbox in:unread
Then choose select all.
You will get an option of selecting all mail in the search.
Choose action: mark as read
And tada, all mail is read!

hmmm.... I have no idea what do you talking about...
R U sure this is HTC Hero standard mail app, you have this "search unread" option and "select all" option? My phone sure as hell doesn't have this function.

true, true...
saphuis is probably talking about gmail app, not the inbuild imap/pop/exchange client.
This is a missing feature, we need to be able to select multiple messages and do stuff with them, currently this only works for delete ( Menu-delete )
I'm not sure, but if you don't need exchange, you might be able to use default android mail app, that might have the features you request ... quick google search did not help me to be sure ...
should have been more clear.
Had the same problem. Could only solve it in the browser gmail environment.
OK, another idea to solve the problem in its current state (although it is not an alternative to including the desired feature in the mail app!!) >> How about moving all the unread mails at once to another folder e.g. Trash?? That way, you'll still have them but won't see them in the inbox or as a green bubble.

Wow, you are right ! Nice one
well this might work, but it's lame. how can it be that this device is advertised as the uber-internet-and-mail-smartphone and is not capable of the simpliest tasks... this has to be improved, it's a shame.
i mean, we're not apple, so this should be possible without three major os releases, shouldn't it?
POP3 doesn't support 'Read' as a flag does it?
AFAIK, the App keeps track of the last message it saw, and downloads new ones since its last download - but there's no Read synchronisation between different POP3 applications.
You need IMAP for that - or use Gmail to collect your POP3 mail and then use the Gmail app instead..
I have my HTC Mail linked to my Apple MobileMe account.
If I read, delete, not read a message on the Hero, this is reflected in Mail on my Mac.
Seems they are synced pretty closely.
Sorry, not in any way helpful here, but just wanted to highlight the fact.

POP3 didn't have this option with WM as well. Issue here is not the difference between IMAP and POP3, but missing feature on the standard E-mail app on the HTC Hero (android op sys) to select all unread messages at once and mark them as read.
There are different options how to mark them unread and all these options are fine until you have couple of e-mails per day, but if the quantity of the e-mails is quite high, then all those options (like manually selecting each e-mail) fail.
So basically this is the reason I hate to use e-mail app and one and only advantage of Windows phone comparing to android at the moment. ... I hope this advantage of WM will dissapear soon.

[Q] Some Questions...

Looking forward to dumping my iPhone and upgrading to the SGII when it finally arrives at AT&T or T-Mobile. The calendar update to MobileMe was the end for me.
1. Can email work with more than one Exchange account?
2. Can incoming mail show up in one central Inbox or will it show up in multiple Inboxes?
3. Is Cut-Copy-Paste fully implemented in email and other apps?
I know these are NOOB type questions but before I plunk down the big $ these are the things that are critical for me.
Thanks for your help!

1 & 2: not 100% sure about the samsung mail app but there are email apps out there that can; like the android stock email app (freeware)
3: yes; android can copy paste; although it depends on the app if you can actually select text

[Q] "Show HTML images" button on emails!!!

I upgraded to the Rezound from a Thunderbolt and now I have to press a stupid "Show HTML images" button on all HTML formatted emails! I have a corporate Exchange account, and my Thunderbolt did not intrude on my email viewing with this irritating request for every blessed email, nor did my iPhone prior to the Thunderbolt.
What can be done to stop this bad behavior? Can Sense be modified either in the current 3.5, or can HTC fix this in the new 4.0 for ICS? Or, is there a root required mod to be made? It should have a global setting, just like MS Outlook offers, to either require acknowledgement for each HTML email, or not. To require it for each email even if the user does not want it is absurd.
They also broke the hardware back arrow functionality, so now when you are in any folder other than the Inbox and press the back arrow you are ejected from the program, instead of being returned to the Inbox, as it was in the Thunderbolt.
How can we ensure that these problems are fixed in the next version of Sense? Does HTC fix the problems which they create in new versions when they release the next edition, or do developers need to mod the program to fix HTC errors?
Go into your settings for the Exchange account. In the Send and Receive settings change the Include File Attachment to "Always".
See if that helps for new emails.
Sent from the Rez Beast
I tried most of the settings, and none seemed to stop the button from popping up on any HTML emails, even those which I have already viewed and clicked the button for!
I have not had this problem since I had the old Win Mobile HD2 from 2 years ago. I hate taking two steps forward and one back when upgrading to a new phone.
Seems like a software problem then. My phone doesn't behave that way. It automatically downloads images and HTML when opening.
Maybe something with the way the account is setup? Or the Mail app?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
My Thunderbolt did not misbehave that way either, but my Rezound does, at least on MS Exchange email.
Are you using Exchange?
I am using an Exchange account. It's an Outlook Web Access setup.
I'm using NilsP's business rom, too.
I'm using enhanced email and no problems with any html emails.
Are either of you using the stock Sense email client to view your Exchange email?
Has anyone ever found the file which controls this behavior?
Does the need to continually press "show html images" in every HTML email continue in ICS? I must have pressed that stupid button a million times this year!
If this problem continues with ICS, has anyone ever discovered which file and location within the file controls this behavior?
I would love to not ever see that button appear at the top of my emails again!

[Q] SMS contact limit

Does anyone know how to change the SMS contact limit with AT&T. I created a few groups of friends and family to send a quick message out to. Groups are limited to twenty which would work for some groups just fine but when I send an SMS text out, I get an error message saying your carrier limits sms texts to 10 contacts at one time.
This has got to be a setting somewhere since I was able to do this all day long on my WM6.5 device. I even had a group of nearly 100 and had no trouble. Network is network so my thinking is this is a setting somewhere.
Ideas?
Got a lot of views on this but no one has been able to add anything. Should this get moved to WP General or WP Q & A?
Are you sure it's just with ATT and not an O/S limit? i think it's so you don't spam.
I have got to think that any carrier can tell if someone is spamming versus communicating with a group of people. In my case it was for someone that ended up in the hospital.
Do you have any idea how many calls and separate texts you'd have to send or make if you didn't have somethingng like this set up? Not asking a dumb question but more like an obvious one.
I am one of the few I bet that doesn't have unlimited text's and I would be willing to pay for my overage if that happens for the comfort of texting to a group that needs this communication.
Let's face it, someone can create an app to loop through a distribution list and fire off a text msg and loop to the next contact in the list and fire it again. Not looking for performance but convenience.
At some point I need to stop comparing WP to WM6.5 and just get over it.
I'm replying to an old thread ; hoping this generates a fresh look at an old problem:
I have an unlocked AT&T-branded Samsung GS4 (SGH-i337) operating on the Cricket network. I created a new contacts group "Buddies" consisting of 15 people in my Contacts. However, when I try to send an SMS text to this Buddies group, the stock Messaging app enforces a limit whereby I'm allowed to select and send the SMS to a max of 10 people from my Buddies group. This 10-person limit has been around for several years, so I'm wondering if anyone has found a simple/easy way to remove or adjust this 10-person group sms limit?
Interestingly, I also have an unlocked Verizon-branded GS4 (SCH-i545), and its stock Messaging app allows me to send an SMS to as many as 20 people from an established Group of contacts.
As a partial solution to the 10-person limit on my ATT GS4, is it technically feasible that I could simply copy/extract the Verizon Messaging app, then import and use that Verizon Messaging .apk on my ATT GS4 in order to increase the person limit to 20? Sounds simple, which probably means it's too easy to be true.
