Is there a particular app that allows the Kaiser (TyTN II) to send faxes? I have several PDF documents a word documents that need to be sent as a fax.
How is it possible?
I would also like to know this info. That would be sweet if I could fax signed docs right from my Tilt.
bump for more interest
possible fax soution
Efax offers free fax numbers which can be used for both send and receiving via your email program and they have a handheld client. Give it a look.

I think that it has been said many times in different threads that starting WM5 none of the devices have fax capability.
1) There is no software available you can use to send faxes directly from your WM5 / WM6 device
2) These devices cannot be used as a fax modem to send faxes from a PC Program like WinFax Pro
Regards
I believe the devices are fax capable.
Fax
I use myfax. I have a word doc or excel or pdf on my device and send it to [email protected] (where xxxxxxxxxx is the fax number to send the fax). To get faxes I have them sent as an attachment via email or a number which in my case I chose a toll free number. The plan is for 10$/month flat.
This is worth looking into... I have no complaints yet.

Ok well thats the next best thing!
So how do you send a pdf file? As I understand it, the fax I send needs to be in the form of an email . i,e: no word,image or pdf attachments. Or am I mistaken? Have you tried it?
Yes, you CAN send PDF files!
I've just started looking into this, so the MyFax offering was very appealing....according to their FAQ, the following is true....
2. Can I send multiple documents in one fax?
Yes, you can send up to eight documents in one fax as attachments. MyFax supports 48 different file formats, including PDF, Microsoft Word and Excel.

So it looks as though you send an email and attach the file(s) you want faxed; this is pretty much like the Captaris Rightfax software I use in the office.
I'm in the UK, so I'll take a look at the UK offering from MyFax and see if it's the same as the US....

Right, you send it as an email and add the document to send as an attachment. Any faxes
you receive will be attachments in pdf format. I use this every day in the field. Works great if you don't have a printer available to print docs...just send 'em to a nearby fax machine.
This solution also supports many different file formats...too many to list here. Check it out.

First of thanks to all you guys for such an amazing forum, I really have learned a great deal from reading the posts.
That said, I'm running WM6 PV3 version on my MDA with push mail enabled from an exchange server (mail2web). I receive mail no problem but am unable to view HTML mail, I thought that was a feature of of WM6? I have a "Get HTML" under Menu/View, but it's grayed out - what gives? Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks all!
The Exchange server needs to be running Exchange 2007 for HTML on WM6.

Thank you, I was just getting ready to SEARCH all over creation. But your answer saved me a lot of time...
mail2web Exchange Servers
When will you upgrade to Microsoft Exchange 2007?
Answer: mail2web.com is planning to upgrade all customers from our current Exchange 2003 platform to the new Microsoft Exchange 2007 platform, after its release. All customers Business Exchange Professional customers will receive a free upgrade to Outlook 2007. Microsoft Exchange 2007 is expected to be released in early 2007. The timing of this upgrade is still to be determined and is in part dependant on the release date of Exchange 2007.

that's what I got from the support:
First mail:
According to that site and others that have tested WM6 on 4SmartPhone, if you are using a legitimate version of WM6 you get HTML email for ActiveSync. That feature does not require Exchange 2007.

After telling them that this doesn't make sense I got a second mail:
We do not offer Exchange 2007 to our customers yet, and we know that some features of WM6 (like server-side mailbox search) do require Exchange 2007 to work.
However, HTML email does work on WM6 devices when used in conjunction with Exchange 2003 SP2, and that is what the people who reported did, using a normal 4SmartPhone account.

4smartphone
I just tried the 4smartphone Pro service to see if it would work for me on WM6I would love to be able to get my HTML mail but I believe this really is a feature we will need to wait for Exchange 2007 to provide. Does anyone know a way to get HTML mail to work? I am using emoze right now and love the push mail,Calendar, tasks that it pushes through. I dont like leaving my computer on but its on most of the time anyway. If anyone has a better inexpensive solution I would love to hear it. Thanks to all in this forum I am just a big nooooob here and love all this stuff.

I ordered an account from this outfit today
http://www.itsolutionsnow.com
I will let you know how it works out.
I have been using mailstreet but I don't want to wait around for them to upgrade.
http://www.itsolutionsnow.com offers unlimited storage and wireless active sync for only $10 a month USD
Mailstreet is $13 a month for 100meg $4 a month for wireless active sync and $6 a month for an extra 100 meg
I got my new setup instructions very quickly from them and this guy billy was very helpful in setting up some special features for me.
It works great. I love the new outlook web access also. Setup was a snap. From my experience so far I would recomend this company.
Computer9Cowboy are you getting HTML mail through the service? I tried 1and1 and 4smartphone and could not get the HTML part to work on WM6. Please let me know if this works. Thanks,

If you can live without push mail, POP3 already supports html email. It doesnt matter what server you use. I host my own email on a FreeBSD box here at home. I just have WM6 set to check mail every 15 minutes. I personally dont feel the need to know about email the split second it arrives, so POP3 works for me.

Yes indeed ITSolutionsNow has Exchange 2007, I can do HTML Email, I can set flags on messages and I can do server side search from the device. Plus I merged my archive back in to my account because they support unlimited storage. I don't have to worry about staying under my limit or purchasing extra space.

Exchange is more than push email it is contacts and calendar also. If I add new info to a contact in outlook it is on my device in seconds. When I add a new date in my calendar on my device it is on my computer in seconds. The new ability to flag messages from the device is pretty useful also.
On a sidenote I've just heard back from mail2web that they are currently testing Exchange 2007 and that they should be going live with it in the summer.

I understand that. I guess it just all depends on how you are using your device. Those features are a lot more useful for a business environment. I use mine for personal use. As infrequently as I update my calendar and contacts, cable syncing is fine for that, and pop3 is adequate email for my uses.
I do understand the advantages of push mail and contacts/calendar syncing. I have a blackberry 7520 that I use for work, and as the exchange and BES server admin, I could easily setup push mail on my XDA, the only problem is I need use of the direct connect radio in the 7520, so for now I keep the 7520 for work use, and the XDA for personal use.

I have to say that IT Solutions Now is the best deal that I have seen for hosted exchange anywhere, Unlimited storage is huge.

And this is why I'm leaving 4smartphone in 2 weeks when my yearly subscription is expired. I told them that I would like to have HTML email and they told me that they are not deploying 2007 for another 6 months. I'm a reseller for intermedia.net so I'm going to switch over to them.
Hi everyone,
I just can´t download the attachments of emails I receive...I make the sync, I receive the emails, but when I try do download the attachments it just don´t work (it seems that its going to download, it show that "download arrow" aside de attachment, but nothing happens and the "download arrow" just goes away...).
Can you help me with it?
Nobody?
I have just installed a new ROM and nothing...its seems to be hardware problem, and that really sucks.
With my Touch Cruise and with the same configuration, everything just works fine. With my friend´s Diamond, everythings works fine either.
However, with mine it´s impossible to download email´s attachment...damn...
Have you checked your email settings??...if not check there...click on the account your having probs with and go through the settings ie advanced settings and there should be something there regarding downloading attachments.
For my gmail account, i have all attachments downloaded when i get new emails.

downloading first all headers and only after you choose witch attachments you are interested in and make anther send\receive you'll get them.
Thank you for your response.
However, this is not a settings problem. I have checked and re-checked all the settings. Actually, the settings on my Diamond are exactly the same I had on my Cruise, and are the same I have inserted into another Diamond.
It's really strange...always when I try to download attachments it shows "error synchronizing". I have already choosen the external memory to be the place to file the attachments, but it didn't worked.
On the attachments folder at the external memory it only shows some "empty" icons, but there are no attachments downloaded over there.
It is so frustrating...damn...

That's exactly what I do. On my Cruise it was the same...the header first...than choosing the files, and after all that pressing the send/receive. But this is not working with the Diamond.
It starts the procedure of downloading the files, and after all it finishes the procedure without downloading it. It also clear the "downloading arrow", as if the download had been finished...but it's not...
Exactly the same thing happens with the TyTN II in certain circumstances.
As far as I can tell the problem only arises with HTML mail and even then it seems to depend upon the mail program that sent the message attachment. If I receive an HTML message sent from Outlook by one of my clients I can download the attachment but if I send myself the same email from Outlook on my own machine the attachment disappears.
Judging by the size of the email (on the TyTN at least) the attachment is in fact downloaded but is just not visible.
Try sending yourself or getting someone to send you an email in text format with and attachment and my guess is that you will be able to download and see it.

Thank you mate. I have just tryed this, but it also didn't worked...I'm totally lost...I just don't know what to do, and I'm really planning to smash the Diamond against my bedrooms wall....hehehehehe...
Nobody? No clues?
I have already updated Diamond´s ROM, and nothing happened.
I have also called the HTC support in the US, and no way of getting the emails´ attachments downloaded...damn...
I have changed my ROM at least 4 times...now I'm using the 137.456.2, and the attachments still not downloading....frustrating....
Guys, this is my last posting regarding this matter...I promisse!!!
Unfortunatelly, this attachment issue that I have faced is too much for me. I have tryed to change the ROM...I've changed the settings...I've prayed the Lord and I've entered into an agreement with the Devil itself...and nothing happened.
The Diamond's behavior is not exactly what I've thought a up-to-date device should have.
Shame on HTC...that has acted such as a minor company...
Therefore, I'l have to get bach to Sony...Xpria here I come!!!!!!!!!
SOLUTION!!
Hello,
I too noticed this issue, and found this thread this evening in attempting to resolve it. GOOD NEWS – cracked it!
I had exactly the same issues as you, and I also had multiple Windows Mobile 6.1 devices to test with (including 2 x HTC Diamonds). All WM6.1 devices had the same issue, although an old WM5 device (original HTC Touch in fact) worked fine.
This led me to think it could well be a backend Exchange 2007 configuration issue - and indeed it was: basically a Exchange 2007-set policy to which only the newer devices would adhere to.
Very simple to change:
1. From your Exchange 2007 server go into the ‘Exchange Management Console’
2. Open up the ‘Client Access’ pane which is beneath the ‘Organisation Configuration’ tree
3. Right click on your defined rule (‘Default’ by, erm, default!) and click ‘Properties’
4. Go to the ‘Sync Settings’
5. You need to tick the (now rather obvious!) ‘Allow attachments to be downloaded to the device’
6. Click OK
7. FIXED!
FYI. when I first looked at this a few months ago, ie. when I first migrated my test platform over to Exchange 2007, I assumed here I was defining the default download policy for a given Windows Mobile device, ie. the same as you enter on the device (when selecting how much of a message header to load, how many days/weeks of past calendar etc).. where-as instead on further attention to detail it transpires you are simply giving permission / setting limits here in the Exchange 2007 interface and then you setup your actual preferences on the device itself.
Hope this all makes sense.. and brings an end to your sleepless nights!
Si
Nice.
Thank you Mate.
I have found this other solution, which I have apllied and worked nicelly:
"I have a 800w with Windows mobile 6.1 connecting to a 2003 Exchange
SP2 server. Everything is syncing just fine with active sync but when
I try to open a attachment I get nothing. It looks like its
downloading but never turns the icon to a real icon.
(...)
Well after another couple of hours on the phone with Microsoft we have
at least identifies the problem. The IIS server we have OMA on is
also hosting web services for Citrix. The Citrix licensing service
uses Tomcat for most of its functionality and when we disabled the
isapi_redirect.dll, the phone was able to download again. Looks like
its off to Citrix or Apache for the fix unless someone out there knows
of a fix. "
My problem was exactly the above: Citrix + WinMobile 6.1 + 2003 Exchange Server.
See ya!
How did you disable the dll?
How exactly did you disable the dll?
Did you Prohibit "Tomcat Servlet Engine" under Web Service Extension?
I found this blog that details the issue, however the link to his patched dll is broken:

I did a quick search and cant seem to find any program that will let me sign a PDF document and send it back via email...
I have multiple faxes daily and being able to sign documents on the run would be a great feature to have available on the phone... Anyone know how i can accomplish this?
just to clarify, my faxes show up as email attachments that i can download on the phone
Softmaker office 2008 will allow you to open up, edit and "pdf" word and excel powerpoint documents on your PPC. It may be a sollution?
No thats not what im looking for.... Im really just wanting to add my signature to a document and be able to email it or e fax it back no problem....
Is what im asking unheard of?
Bueller.... Bueller...
So 211 at least looked at the thread but no real response!
Unfortunately the business I run, The brokers I deal with still insist on faxing documents. I HAVE the efax software installed now I just need to be able to sign the fax from my phone....
1) Is this possible, or should I move on?
2) Is there any way to change the Efax PDF to something else on the phone?
Can somebody please help with this!?!?!?!
How about a PDF converter where i can edit it in Paint or something? I cant find ANYTHING!
I've looked for such a software myself but haven't found one... While looking this over, something just came to mind; why not search the web for a web app. that does this... I'm thinking of seeing if there's a site that would let me sign docs online....
There's got to be something....
Hi All,
I've just configured my Outlook 2007 to enable me to send faxes directly via my fax service. I could always send faxes as email attachments, but I've now configured it as a fax service.
Now, you're probably thinking "very nice,but what the bugger has that got to do with a Raphael?" Well, I was wondering if there was any software out there that would enable the same thing from Mobile Outlook. I know I can attach a document and a fax by emailing [email protected], but I want to be able to use a fax service like in Outlook.
Any ideas anyone?
Rapidfax.com
Would that be what you are looking for?
similar question
Yeah I was wondering is there a application that I can have someone call my phone to fax me something and when I pickup have it answer as a fax. I know my laptop can receive a fax via the modem but not sure if a WM 6.1 device can do that too. Heck not sure if there even is a modem in the phone how could I tell?

Nope. That's what I have already, although with MyFax.com. What I want is similar functionality from my phone. Not just emailing [email protected], I can do that, but using the fax service function. In Outlook, I create a fax by selecting New Fax Message. I want a similar option on my phone.
I want to know if there a way to send a fax directly from the phone. Ex. send a word document from the phone to a fax machine.
You can not send a fax like you send SMS or email. Your best bet can be efax like service. Many efax type service providers have service with a low yearly subscription in USA and other countries. You can send email with destination bumber, PDF or Word attachment to your fax service provider and then the server will send it as fax for you using wireline phone automatically. Similary for receiving fax, the service will give you a fax number, which people can send faxes to. Those faxes will be received by a server and sent to you as PDF attachment in email.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the info.
