In activesync you can select options of your inbox.
One of the options is maximum downloadsize.
Could you check this setting?

its a hotmail account, not outlook. does that make a difference? can you still activesync?
AFAIK Every email address has these options.
For my gmail (hotmail from competitor aint it? ), I can set it as follows:
Goto manilla mail client, then left bottom button (more)
In the mailclient that opens up, select right bottom button (menu) scroll down to options and select options.
Click your starred account (star means active) to open up
On the bottom of three options yuo will see Downloadsize, select this and select righjt option for max download size. (and attachments if needed)
Confirm/apply settings and try downloading again.

Windows mobile has build in that all mail clients are initially limited in doenload size.
This is from the time downloading even 100kb was already very expensive.
Nowadays, providers have "unlimited Iternet" bundles for around $10 (here at least), so limiting has no use. A few years ago, one would be very carefull downloading due to the costs.
IMO this problem is finding where to set the maximum downloadsize, max messagesize or somethng like that.
For Gmail (IMAP) one can set it, but on another place than for outlook (wher it can also be set), and apparently for pop3 mailboxes it is again another place for setting these paraneters.

I am running Kaos Froyo 35-1. I have tried different options, but I can't find a nice widget that lets me add contacts to one of my screens where I can click the picture and it calls the number. It always brings up the options for text, phone call, and mostly their details.
The original HTC widget did this, and I checked out the Launcher Pro People widget..and nothing quite works.
I am doing this for my kids in case they need to call my family members and don't need a course in Eris development 101
Any suggestions or apps to try?
check out Scrollable Contact Widget.
its a two click option, shows pictures of your choice of contacts (starred or category), once you click the persons name it asks you call, text, email... you click one of those and it goes.
nice app, could be tweaked to work faster though. but the best one i've seen. It requires you use ADW or LP
I've never tried this particular widget, nor do I know the developer, but ran across this over at AndroidForums awhile ago, and your post reminded me of it. They do have a free version so you can try it out and see if you like it.

I use "Contact Widget". It's free on the market and works great.

I don't believe it works with facebook sync, but I don't use facebook sync at all anymore anyway. "SyncMyPix" (also free on the market) will grab all your facebook photos for existing contacts and add them to your google contacts. You can do this once and remove the app since all info is updated to the actual google contact. Or you can use it to update periodically.

You're looking for a shortcut, not a widget
Look under shortcuts, not widgets.

Very simple in Froyo. Find a blank space on your phone and long press. Choose custom shortcut - press "select activity" - scroll down and pick "DIRECT DIAL". Next choose the contact from the list that pops up with number you want and press it. It will then add a 1 click dial icon to the home screen with picture.
Be sure to pic the correct contact and number from the list. For example if your kid's phone has "Mom" as a contact with a home/work/ & cell number when the list pops up to choose from you will actually see 3 "moms" listed with the three different numbers.
I am new owner of the Unlocked Streak. It came with the 2.2 and I am kinda loving it. Have already applied the performance pack and the quadrant scores have kind of doubled from stock ~800 to ~1450 with the performance pack.
Overall I am really loving this device.
Just need a little help in few lousy areas (have already tried searching the forum/web)
1) How do you edit stage UI widgets ? I need to bookmark my webpages on the Web widget but I dont see any option to add my own pages.
2) There seems to be some kind of issue with my Contact widget as well. I have like 150 contacts on my SIM card and I tried importing them to my phone. I could do that but when I get into the Contacts Widget/application, I am just not seeing anything there. Instead it tells me to do the same thing that I just did, that is to import contacts.
I used some other contacts application from the appstore and the other app can see those 150 contacts but again I am unsure if that app is seeing the SIM contacts or not.
3) On the same lines, can I bookmark my favorite music albums in the Music Widget ? Currently everything seems to be random in that widget.
I know I might look like a noob but for a while I am with this new possession of mine.
Looking forward for the help from you guys.

The widget reflects the favorites that you have saved in the browser. Edit and/or save favorites in the browser and they are reflected in the widget.

The contact widget displays the favorites you have set in your contacts list. When in the contacts app hit the menu key and select display options. My contacts all are from my Google account, you may have to select something there to show contacts that are only on the phone. Once you can see your contacts in the contact app tap one to display details and then tap the start in the upper right corner to add it to your favorites (and to the widget).

I don't see any way to create shortcuts on or customize the music widget. You can create shortcuts to a playlist. Hold you finger on an empty area of the screen until the menu pops up.Select Shortcuts and then scroll down to Music Playlist. Tap on that and you will get a list of your playlists to choose from. The shortcut created will open the music player with that playlist. You can put the shortcuts in a folder to keep from hitting them when you don't intend to.
Edit: I also see that the widget displays a quick link to all of your playlists.
Thanks brother. Finally i was able to make the desired changes.

Glad you sorted it out.
FYI - there's a thanks button on posts. Click it when you get a helpful answer.
Oops. Will take care of that next time. Thanks again.

The thanks button helps make the forum better.
It keeps a bunch of thank you posts from showing up in long threads. Sometimes the thanks post comes so far after the post it thanked you have no clue who the person is thanking.
A post with a LOT of thanks shows that it was useful and therefore the content might be given more weight.
A user with a lot of thanks show that the content they post is valued by others.
Users who use the thanks button contribute to the forum by making it known which posts are useful, which users are helpful and keeping threads shorter.
It's a very good system. And you're welcome - enjoy the Streak.

Thanks man got it.
Has anyone figured out a way to attach downloaded images to SMS/MMS? Often I'll download pictures to send to friends/family/etc and I haven't found a way to attach a downloaded item.
Images downloaded don't show up in Gallery. I can't share from Downloads because the sharing feature doesn't list Messenger as a target. When I try to share from Messenger, the Picture option allows attachment from Camera or Gallery... neither show downloaded images.
Anyone have any ideas? Super frustrating.
I am able to. I choose to attach a picture, select gallery, then switch from events to albums in the upper left and there is an all downloads folder there to choose from.

That works. Can't believe I didn't see it. Thanks viperlox.
No problem i overlooked it at first n found it by accident
I strongly dislike when apps like to split up settings menu for me trying to dumb it down for the average user. Instead, I want back the one-page settings menu instead of sorting it into multiple pages.
Is there a native way to do it, or an app that emulates every feature of settings on one page? Or, how can I hack this to show a one-page settings menu?

List view instead of Tab view. Upper right in Settings.

Thank you, but this does not put them all on one page, it puts the categories on one page with many submenus, unlike previous phones I've used. It does get rid of the tabs though so it's an improvement

That's the max that can be done with Lg's UI
You must have been running some custom ROM or UI or something because Android by default - any version - has never had a single long column for Settings that provides access to every possible option. There's always been a category list, then submenus in each category, and so on.

Maybe I'm used to Touchwiz which has fewer subcategories and a much longer settings page (Galaxy S5, Galaxy S7, Note 9).
Just looked at my S5 and it's sorted out by categories all on one page:
WIRELESS & NETWORKS
...
DEVICE
...
PERSONAL
...
MOTION
...
ACCOUNT
...
SYSTEM
...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Where I wrote "...." that is a list of subitems (instead of typing every menu item out on this post) all on the same page of the home page of the settings screen. This is on S5 with Kitkat, but note 9 and S7 are similar.
Would like to get that same menu back on this phone.
