[Q] showing attachements direct from Mails - issue - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi folks,
I had to change my HD2 because of a damage and now my new ROM is 1.72.
My problem is, that it is not possible, to open an attachment by klicking on it inside the mail. I always get the message "cannot show the attachment"
The attachment is already loaded down into the right folder.
The move of mails from main memory to the storage card had no effect.
The type of attachment (doc, pdf, exel) makes no difference.
it is possible, to save the attachments into a folder on the memory and open them there.
So it seems to be a problem of mobile Outlook.
Opening the attachments is key for me because of being most of my time on the road.
Does anybody have a solution?
regards
Jörg

Is it true?
Nobody can open attachements out of the mail or I'm the only guy who has this problem?
regards
Jörg

Have you tried saving the file by holding down where it says attachment and running it from where you saved it? Is it a file that can be opened up on your device anyway?

[Q] Email apps and attachments... Bug ?

Hi everybody,
I've a little problem with the email apps :
when I receive an email with some PDF or doc or whatever file as attachment, I'm unable to download it or to open it using the email application... I've to forward it to my gmail email address to be able to use the Gmail apps to see the attachment...
I'm certainly making something false, but what ??
I don't only see any buttons or any option concerning the attachment !
if you click on it u cannot open pdf file which is a pain. if u save it u can open it. we should be able to view it without saving it.
little things like this should have been sorted out!
I use maildroid which lets me view pdf without saving it.

[Q] Need help for email setup

When I try to re-send an email with attachment, there is a lot of delay because the attachment file had to be downloaded first, then uploaded again to re-send the email... It's eating my data plan and causing a big and unnecessary delay.
Is there any option that email app acts as the desktop software and it re-send an attachment file directly without download nothing?...
Thank for the answer....
Any solution...
Any idea...

Solving problem with edited Polaris files in Office

I had a problem with opening Office files on a PC after editing the files in Polaris on my Prime. I discovered a workaround so you don't have to start your document all over again.
You need to e-mail the file to your gmail account as an attachment and then view it in Google Documents. After opening it will say the file is corrupt but it offers the possibility to view it in Plain HTML and there is your document. It's not a perfect sollution but a reasonable workaround, you will only lose certain data but most of it is rescued.
I hope this will help you

I used Polaris to write a document in a meeting - a couple of lessons learned...
1 - did it really do that? I think that if I leave the app without saving it, it loses information. I have not fully figured it out but is that others experience? can I swap around apps and NOT lose data?
2 - trying to view the document in Word afterwards was really frustration. The worse item was linebreaks in the middle of words in a paragraph. Ultimately I started a new blank Word document and imported the Polaris version into it and all was well.

[Q] Saving Pictures - Attachments

Just received a picture in my email that I would like to save. I download the picture and can view it, but then there's no way to access it or save it to my device. Not even a method for copying. Has anybody figured out a way to save or copy an email attachment?

I'll just go ahead and reply to my own thread. You have to go to your gallery, then switch the view to "albums", then all downloads. You'll find them in there.
Derp.
There's also a Downloads shortcut/app in the tools folder in the app drawer. Downloaded Astro file manager before I finally found that, but probably would have anyway.

PDF file doesn't get saved to phone when sent as an email attachment

Wonder if you can help me please. I'm new to android and I'm using my icloud email address as my main account on the phone.
I get a weekly pdf document sent through to this email address and as far as I'm aware it does download the file and then the save file icon appears but when I press this I get the popup message of "cannot save file"
The document tries to open in archive view but again a popup message says cannot open page.
I've got Adobe downloaded but cant seem to find the file to open. I don't get an "open with" option either. I did once get a message about not having permission to save the file but have no idea how to rectify this.
Any ideas?
iCloud and Android is a bad combination.
I'm trying not to be rude, but Gmail is what is meant to be used with Android, and far superior too.
Sorry my English
