How do I email an attachment w/Tilt using gmail and the regular email app that comes w/the Tilt. I see were i can attach a pic, but it goes to the device my pictures folder, i can't see were to get into the storage card folder, i see were you can select all folders and it brings up everything on teh device, but nothing on the storage card, the programs files is empty on all folders too, can you not attach from the storage card w/the outlook email? Also is there a way to make a my documents folder on the device that has a path to the storage card?

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?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
Have we found a tool to put all messages to the Storage card instead ??
I use Memmaid, and I believe memmaid can change the path where messages are stored.
I copied some of my own low res photos/images JPEGs from my PC to the phone.
Now I want to use these as the image for some of my contacts. However, when I go to edit a contact and select an images, these images do not appear in the list.
I only get a selection from "Camera, bluetooth, and Images" folders. But they do not appear even if I physically move the files to those folders.
If I view the images the option to "set as..." disappears?
Do they need to be a special size, format etc... to be valid?
Thanks.
I use gmail and the contact pictures are sync from there. I put the pictures in my gmail account(make that in my pc offcorse) and when i sync gmail the pictures appears in my phone contact
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Ah, okay, I'll give that a go. Thanks.
Doh! Figured it out. Was because I had Rescan Media app installed and disabled media scan on start up - tip to self: great app but remember to rescan after copying across media!
Thanks.
Any idea how to save email attachments in POP email, specifically JPG and PDF?
The HTC Help page says the following:
"Save an attachment
Select email with attachment, download the attachment, tap the Preview icon, press the Menu key, Select Save or Save as."
However, I do not see a 'Save' or 'Save As' option when I follow these instructions.
Any thoughts? TIA!
I don't have the Vivid, but if it works like other HTC phones when you click on the attachment it's probably getting saved to a /download folder either in internal memory or on an SD card.
When you download a PDF email attachment, it is automatically saved in the Adobe Reader on your SD Card under Downloads.
For jPeg, when you download a jpeg from an email, it is automatically saved in the Gallery in the All downloads folder.
The intructions you refer to are for other file types.
Sorry to hijack the thread here but it is the same subject that I want to know. When my wife sends me a video of my 2 year old from her iPhone it comes as .MOV file. The Gmail app which is what I use for both of my email accounts does not give me the option to download or preview the file. Is this normal and if so is there a way around it?
I am having a very frustrating problem with folders disappearing.
Using MY Phone Explorer to sync I have a 64gb sd card with 12gb of photos I have two folders that persistently disappear.
There is plenty of room on the card and I have tried using USB to put the folders on the card.
They are ok for a day or so and Sync nicely then all of a sudden MPE says error unable to read folder file sync job MMS
Phone is rooted
