Outlook attachments saving in attachment format - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I'm a Treo converter... and so far very happy. I am on day two of my first experience with a ATT Tilt and have one that I can not figure out and hope someone can help. I have tried searching, but no luck on this.
I am using WM6 with Outlook and when an attachment comes in and I download it saves to the phone in a default path of:
PROGRAM FILES>CONNECTIONS>MAIL ATTACHMENTS
However when I look in this folder the attachment is not there. I have tried selecting off the menu SHOW ALL FILES, but still nothing.
I read on here how to have emails save to card and made that change, but it looks like it is saving it just as a Outlook email. I hope I am not overlooking something very simple, but let me know.
So my question is this: Can you save from Outlook and attachment in it's original format directly to the storage card.
Thanks in advance.

Well as a newbie I figured it out... apparently if you hold your stylus on a file in the file explorer or on the attachment in outlook it gives you some extra options. Hope this help some other newbie soon.
Officially for me, this phone rocks.

Outlook Mobile | html email question(s)

I've have two different issues with Outlook mobile on my Tilt. I hope you guys can provide me with hints and workarounds.
Problem 1:
Outlook Mobile will not download Internet pictures. I don't want to keep telling Outlook to "Download Internet Pictures" because they were blocked. -Is there a way to permanently allow all pictures to download, so I don't have to click [2x] (i.e. Internet Pictures Blocked, Download Internet Pictures)?
Problem 2:
None of my html links are working. I keep getting an OperaLaunch.exe error "The file 'OperaLaunch' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.' Subsequently I am unable to click on any links whether they are embedded within a picture or textual.
There must be some tweaks for this, perhaps a reg edit or something... please help
THANKS!

Raven,I appreciate the input but unfortunately that doesn't solve my problem. I have Opera 8.65 and been using it for a while to no avail with respect to this issue. [responding from my Tilt in Opera Mobile]-prealphageek
I was getting that same error and to fix it I searched the registry for operalaunch and changed it to opera.exe
Sorry I don't have the exact key that needs to be changed but that's how to fix it.

There are 14 different keys using operalaunch.exe keys; Do I change all of them? This still doesn't answer problem 1.
that happens when you install opera on the storagee card....
install it to your memory, or copy the opera launch to the windows folder

Now how to get Outlook Mobile to automatically download all html pictures...
thanks again!!!
prealphageek
can anyone help with the html download?
Just getting this back on the radar. I'd like to get Pocket Outlook to automatically download images without me having to manually do it for every email. i.e. html emails...
That question has been asked many, many times and as far as I know, it has yet to be answered.
I think every newbie that comes here asks that question...
Chuck Pocket Outlook AND Flexmail.
Install ProfiMail from lonelycatgames.com - onto the storage card. It is great at HTML email! I think it is a much more efficient email app for a small screen. It also eliminates that frustrating BS of selecting the messages you want to download, then downloading them in a separate step.

Thanks for the tip.. I tried it out.. not exactly my cup of tea. It seemed a little clunky for me, plus I like using touchflo while reading mail. I can live with pocket outlook until there is a better fix. I prefer a real fix rather than a installing (masking the problem) new software to replace existing tools. that's just my 2 cents.

Corrupt Email Attachments

I am hoping that someone can help me with the answer to this problem. All attachments that I receive on my Tilt are oversized. When I save the attachment a 1MB file will save at about 1.5MB.. Unfortunately the file is also in most cases corrupted. When I receive an MP3 File, they play, and then repeat the last 2-3 seconds again and again.
I am using OTA Exchange through 1and1.com. This was never an issue on my 6600, so I have a feeling that it is related to my Tilt. In attempts to fix this I cleared and reset the mail configuration, no luck...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Firstly, are you just clicking on the attachment? Are you highlighting the attachment then going through the menu & selecting attachments, & then download attachment? Are you doing a tap & long hold & selecting download attachment? Or are you by chance selecting download message from the menu options?
Thank you for responding... I have confirmed that the attachments are completly download... Been using WM for about 3 years... For some reason, however, the files being saved are BIGGER then they are supposed to be... May be time for a hard reset.

Maybe too late, but before you do a hard reset.
Did you select 'Store attachments to storage card'? within the messaging setup on your phone?
Sometimes the IMAP file that holds these gets corrupted.
Switch back to internal storage for attachments, backup any other files you have on the SD card via Activesync or some other way. Format the card using an internal formatter (Resco or Total commander) then put back your files and the set attachments storage to SD card again.
I know its long winded but it will give you a clear/clean storage...

Problem opening Office documents from SD card

Wondered if anyone else has this problem?
Most of my documents (.docx, .doc, .xls) are stored on the SD card for obvious reasons. If I access them through a file explorer, they open fine. However, if I open the Office program directly, they don't show up - only the one stored on the device do. (Although, the text files from SPB Backup stored on the card show up through Office!)
Thing is, I'm sure when I first got the phone, docs stored on SD card showed up when you opened Word or Excel (with a little mem card symbol in the corner of the Office file icon). Any ideas what I might have done to change things.
Am running stock Orange ROM, with too many added cabs and programs to remember, never mind list here!
I have looked through the forum, but I have to admit my attention started to drift by page 205, so forgive me if it already addressed.
On a side note, if you read the entire post list from page 1 to current, it is amazing how many repetitive posts there truly are. If people just updated the previous post re a particular question, rather than reposting, the forum would be 1/3 the pages! Although from experience, the forum search rarely brings up the right entries - I almost always have better luck just scrolling through the pages. Perhaps an index of all post headings and thread addresses would help people to find what they want. Perhaps if I have some free time... Do people think this would be useful?
Anyway, I digress. Any help with the above would be much appreciated (the much dreaded hard reset is hovering at the back of my mind, but I would much prefer a less drastic solution!)
Are they in the storage card root? (\Storage Card)
Also, have you gone into P.Word, Options, & selected the storage card for where to store doc's?
Try this: \Storage Card\My Documents. Also, you must have the templates in the original \My Documents\Templates folder or it will not open word docs.

Really, the wiki is supposed to be the central bank for known issues & the fixes. Kaiser is just too new & no one has really taken charge of the wiki because everyones still try to get everything ironed out & customized.
They are in Storage Card\My Documents\sub-folder
I have already changed the default storage location.
Strangely, Word lists all .txt documents on storage card, regardless of which folder\subfolder they are in - some are not even in My Docs.
But all will open normally if opened via File Explorer.
Further to the above, Word will list the files if they are stored in Storage Card\My Documents but not if they are in subfolders of My Documents. Seems odd, seeing as .txt files show up wherever they are located.
Anyone know of any fix to this, other than dumping all doc files in My Docs, with no sort of filing - seems a bit messy (but not surprising for Microsoft software I guess).
Just discovered that even if I navigate to either my Work or Personal folder via Word, it still does not show the .doc or .xls files there! Apparently my files do not exist, even though I can open them normally via Explorer. What's going on ?!
If you mean that your files dont show after opening word, thats just because Mobile Office programs dont show deeper than the first folder.
There is programs that make them see more deep in the folders and fix this issue, like Pocket Plus 4.
There was some freeware solution to this also, search and you will find...
Thanks Sane for the advice. That certainly explains a lot. I have Pocket Plus 4 installed - I have checked the "File Open/Save Dialog" option when I installed but unchecking and checking it again hasn't made any difference. As mentioned in the OP, I have scrolled through all 220-odd pages and couldn't see any previos posts regarding Office documents. Any idea of the rough direction I should head for more answers??

Onenote Mobile - where do the notes live?

I just flashed my Kaiser to Dutty and as a result it's wiped my Onenote Mobile notes (no great surprise there).
Before I flashed, I took a Sprite Backup. Does anyone know where the actual "notes" live? Is in a directory or registry entry somewhere? I'd like to restore them if possible. I have searched XDA Devs, but there's nothing I can see explaining this.
Thanks in advance...
\Application Data\Microsoft\OneNote Mobile.
I've been looking for a way to move them to another folder but I cannot find it.
Ta,
Dave
Thank You!
Thanks very much for this solution. I copied from the backup and I can see all my notes again.
You just saved me a lot of frustration
I love this forum. Every time I have some obscure question, someone has already asked it and, usually, someone else has answered it perfectly!
Thank you!
amazing
Amazing, I was asking myself this same question this afternoon on the way to school. You guys are amazing!
Thank you! Been flashing new ROMs and needed to back up my notes... this forum rocks!

But how to make OneNote store to SD?
Haven't figured that out yet either...still working
I think it's Pocket Mechanic that has the option to move applications to run from storage card...I've successfully moved most everything I've tried with it. Has anyone tried 'moving' folder to storage card with this app? I'm not sure how it works...if it leaves a shortcut behind pointing to new location on card maybe? I use OneNote for work, and can't afford to screw it up and have down time trying to fix, so wondering if anyone has tried that route yet?
UPDATE: Tried above method, and it did not work. Has anyone else found a feasible way to do this yet? With it storing audio recordings in .wav format, it's basically not usable without being able to store to storage card. I run out of memory in less than one minute.
The frustration continues
Hi everybody,
I have been grappling with this damned issue with OneNote 2007 on my HD2 forever. It’d be nice if some of the top dogs here at the XDA took a minute or two out of their busy schedules to fix us up with a way to force OneNote to SD card. I mean come on people, don’t you leave us at the mercy of windows unpredictable array of hangs, crashes and total system annihilations, give us a way out.
I have personally wormed around the registry and found a way for that whole attachment thing JVolger. Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Microsoft>OneNote Mobile>12.0.
Once there edit the attachments String value with your favorite registry editor and change the string entry with the address of the folder where you like one note to save your attachments.
Now if someone could figure out a way to force one note to save to the SD entirely, I would be one happy man!!

No Contacts, Still in Outlook, Wont Sync

So I'm looking for the file in the phone that would normally contain the contacts..
But it just now occured to me, that file might be totally gone.
So my next action will be to save a new contact and go looking for the file that is created.
Then I intend find the same spreadsheet type of file in my Outlook and drag it over to the phone.
...just looking for some input on whether this will work or not. Or, if I am going to go about this wrongly some input on the correct way to do it should be cool. 8)
For clarification, Active Sync is actually working (sort of), only, there is no result. I don't know how the contacts got deleted in the first place. I was installing different clocks and a 'background on all tabs' and the 'no curtains' cab...
I'm googling still (have been for an hour) and digging around in Total Commander looking for those files
Thanks
Mitch
Did it.
Because of the knowledge in these forums, my phone has skyrocketed from supercool to the ULTIMATE tool for communication (and a couple of games ) and even looks awesome...
I'm no developer or programmer or even any kind of support tech, but in case someone searches and gets this thread I'll say how I did it...
I downloaded this
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...3a-b7d0-4b16-b8af-5a6322f4fd01&displayLang=en
Its a 'personal files' backup program for outlook.
I'm pretty sure you have to close outlook and restart the whole computer.
I'm not sure if that is exactly what it took to do it, as I was changing the settings for connection/active sync a lot, but I have a feeling it is because I finally got a program that said the microsoft outlook backup thing wanted me to restart the computer. After that, my 127 contacts were back in my phone.
phew
