Can I put my email messages to storage card? Eventhough I select the box to save to storage card, it seems like my built-in Storage is getting filled up as my email gets bigger. Any tips or tricks to get around this? Move old email to somewhere else maybe?
I tried Tweaks2k2.net registry hack and that didn't help. Any one has this problem? I'm using the exchange e-mail to get my e-mail to my Tilt.
Thanks

Thanks, I'm gonna have to try that.
I was able to do this no problem on my 8525. There are several registry settings that allow you to change the location of your My Documents, E-mail messages, and attachments to the Storage Card instead of internal memory. The is crucial for me as I store a ton of e-mail with large attachments on my phone. (None of it security sensitive mind you.)
The problem I'm finding with the Tilt, is that it reads the registry settings BEFORE it recognizes the Storage Card! So what ends up happening is it created a folder in internal memory called Storage Card and calls the actual storage card, Storage Card2 !!! I can remove the storage card, and delete the Storage Card directory, turn phone on and re-insert the Storage Card and it keeps doing the same thing!
I know there
Help!
Here's the setting in case anyone is interested:
Change the location of My Documents
Documents are opened in and saved to the device's internal storage by default. You can change this location to, for example, your Storage Card:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\FileSyncPath = "\Storage Card\My Documents" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To return to the original location:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\FileSyncPath = "\My Documents" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Change the location of email and attachments
When reading and sending email in Pocket Outlook, emails and their attachments are saved in the device's internal storage by default. You can change this location to, for example, your Storage Card:
HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings\PropertyPath = "\Storage Card\Mail" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MAPI\AttachPath = "\Storage Card\Mail\Attachments" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To return to the original location:
Just simply delete these Registry settings (since neither is included by default).
I found the problem after searching and searching the net in some obscure post about changing the storage locations on a WM5 phone.
On some devices, the way the phone boots, the Messaging plugin for the Today screen loads before the storage card is recognized. This appears to be the case with my Tilt. (BTW I upgraded to latest ROM 1.6x to see if that helped - didn't) If I disable the Message plugin in the Today settings, everything works.
So now I need to decide if it is more important to store my mail on my card or have the messaging plugin. I suppose I can use 3rd part software for displaying messaging info on my Today screen?

So, If I make the registry changes for email that you mentioned and then use Spb Mobile Shell (or HTC Home) to display messaging info on the Today Screen, I can have my emails saved to the storage card automatically?
Can a program like Total Commander allow me to create registry entries, or only edit them?
Thanks
Please disregard.
Hope this is not a stupid question?
I use my diamond for work and on my S730 i had a cab file that used my Storage Card instead of the phone to store mail. I used this cab file on the diamond but does not work. Does anyone know how to use the internal storage instead of the phone for my mail
Thanks
Brian
in the mail settings you can choose to let attachments of e-mails be stored in the internal storage. The mail itself can't be stored on the internal storage, but i don't see the point of that (because a email is about 1/2 kb most of the time.
Thanks for the reply. The reason i like to save all to the storage card is i had the whole 2gb mailbox on my 4gb card on my S730 phone. We do not currenly have exchange 2007 and i can not use the search option. As i am out alot around our 4 sites its a pain if i need an email that is not stored on my phone as on the road alot. That is why i had that cab file that changed the settings some how so it stored all emails and attachments on my old card. I am sure someone will release a hack to do the same on the Diamond
Thanks

Yes it can...the (PropertyPath) setting is just located in a different registry setting.
However, I've tried it and immediately ended up getting the common "Storage Card2 issue", a known issue with this trick.
So I've reverted back to the default setting. But you're right that just the emails aren't all that big to begin with.
I would'nt encourage you to put 2 gig of e-mails on your phone. Isn't it smarter to just get the last few days of mail via your phone and if you need a older mail you use the webinterface of your e-mail provider? (on your phone with opera ofcourse)
I wan't to sync my emails completely, the whole mail with attachment.
In fact I the settings in the Windows Mobile Device Center are like that, but especially small mails (2 - 6kB) aren't downloaded completely.
Also one attachment with 14MB doesn't sync, not automatically, not manually.
Anybody an idea?
You got enough room?
Tried setting attachtments do download on Internal Storage?
It should work...
Yes, I set the storage of mails and attachments to Internal Storage through the registry.
Mh, it seems to be like that:
Mails with text below 6kB don't sync, text above that and attachments are synced mainly correct.
Up to now I suppose the settings in the windows mobile device manager have really no effect on the synchronisation.
Is there any possibility to change these settings within the phone?
I use a programme called VAULT where i can save lots of private number ect.
i recently installed a new rom, so before i did that i went into vault and it asked me do i want to save all numbers to phone and remove them from vault. i said yes and then went ahead and cleared data ect.
now on the new rom, i cant find these contacts.
where will the be?
their not on my phone list?
it saves the contacts to some file in the internal storage... install vault again and search for them.. or if its stored in VCF format, use the import/export option in the contacts menu

thanks for the reply,
I'm not that clued up when it comes to phones ect.
can you please explain a bit more where i'll be able to find these contacts.
I really do need them.
search in internal SD card for new folders .... check for .vcf files... open contacts app and hit the menu button and select import.. and it will scan the SD card for you., also try to install vault again and check the restore feature

I've installed it again and it has no restore feature.
i think it has 1 if you pay for the full VAULT, but i dont have that.
it clearly asked me before i erased it, do you want to transfer your contacts to phone memory, and i clicked yes.
so they must be saved somewhere
I just tried to go into contacts, click menu and import from storage, it then come up saying 'searching for vCard data on sd card'
and after a few minutes it comes back with nothing
Why don't you ask the developer of the product where the exports are stored?
hmmm may be in that case it may have moved it back to your contacts and when you installed a new rom.. if you wiped data then it got erased again,.,

this is the programme...
Vault-Hide SMS, Pics & Videos
NQ Mobile Security (NYSE:NQ)
so would the developer be NQ Mobile Security?
if so, how do i go about contacting them?
I also went into my sd card and searched for .VCF files but nothing come back.

So there is a chance i've lost them all?
ah please dont say that.
did you make a backup of the old rom?

no, their was nothing i was really concerned about losing, apart from these numbers,
i've changed roms a few times and always just went into the play store to re-install anything i wanted back.
all my pics and videos stayed where they were.
its just this time, i totally forgot to write down the numbers i wanted to keep off this programme.
the only change of getting them back is if the app stored those numbers on the SD card.. if it moved it back to contacts .. same as it deletes when we add a private contact, then its lost... still as ThaiDai said... go to playstore and there is an option to email the dev...
i have also used this program but where is the option to restore the contacts back, other than cloud?

no idea, but i remember seeing something on there a while back, about paying for a premium something or other, and then you can alot more things.
problem is, i dont even know what it is to look for in the sd card ect.
im on the play store now but cant work out how to contact the dev on there, cant find any options to do so.
