Change HTC HOME email association?

First off i appoligize if this is a repost; I spent the last hour searching before I had to break down and post. I have HTC HOME today plugin and am using Goodlink as my email server. My want/hope is to get the email icon in the home plugin to route to goodlink instead of standard email box. Is this possible? Goodlink puts a seperate email plug in on the today page so can they be merged? Thank you for any help that can be provided!

THe last email inbox you view is where the home email icon should take you. SHould be a little star beside it, and make sure to uncheck "show accounts chooser" box (somethign like that) in outlook so that you don't have to select that accunt each time.

Thank you for that information. When i can finally talk IT to allow direct exchange sync that should work perfectly. Yet for now I am still stuck with the problem since GoodLink is managed by it's own seperate program and does not integrate into pocket outlook in any way. Is there a way to customize the plugin to associate to a different program all together(goodlink instead of pkt outlook?)

Oh i understand now.
Well, not that I know of.
Someone changed the path of the SMS icon on the home screen, but I don't know how that was done. Through a reg edit somewhere I am sure. It was in the Alex roms thread somewhere.
You will have to look around for that, I am unsure how to do it, even though Id like to know too.

I've been looking for this also. Haven't been able to find it in the registry in the places you'd think to look. I want to force the link to always go to the exchange email instead of possibly MMS or SMS (I mean there's a direct link to SMS why would I want to go there when I click email even if I'd happened to be looking there last).

Email settings: Can you change them? Help!

I'm set up with a hosted exchange service with push email working nicely.
Some things don't work quite the way I want them to and they seem like things I should be able to change in some settings menu somewhere, but no such menu exists. How can I change them? Registry changes?
The main thing I want to change is the duration for which new emails stay on my phone. When I get a new email it sits in my inbox for some period of time then disappears. It seems like maybe a week or less, and I would like for emails to stay on my device for more like a month, or even indefinitely until I manually delete them.
I really needed an email today that disappeared yesterday.
Someone help! This has to be changeable...

Try this from your device .. I think this is what I had done:
Start > Programs > Activesync (could be in a different folder depending on what ROM your using) ..
Menu > Configure Server .. Next > Next .. You should now be on the screen that shows Contacts, Calendar, Email and Tasks .. Tap Email and hit the Settings Button on the bottom ..
Under Download the past: try a longer timeframe.

Also I think that even though the email does not show on your device you might still have access to it.
From your Pocket Outlook: Menu > Tools > Search Server .. From there you can use the search to get any email on the server even if its not actively on your device.

How about the Reply To?
Anyone know if the Reply To can be changed while using Exchange? It would be nice to have it look like my emails are coming from my Gmail address, instead of my private address I use with exchange. I was able to do that with Outlook and Pop.

Thank you! That solved my issue just fine.

What app do you recommend to check emails?

I want to check my gmail account but i dont want to download the emails! Just check them... the diamond message app is horrible. Which one do you recommend? Thx

You can check FlexMail (www.webis.net) - it have option to download only headers of the emails

Go to "Start->Messaging->Menu (Right Soft Key)->Options"
Then tap on "Google Mail" account.
Then tap on "Download size settings"
Finally select "Message download limit=Headers only"
Look into the settings properly before tagging as "horrible" the windows mobile email client.
You do not need any other client.
And you do not need to open two different threads for the same reason:

Again, you do not check the settings:
1) Go to "Start->Messaging->Menu (Right Soft Key)->Options"
Then tap on "Google Mail" account.
Then tap on "Send/Receive Schedule"
Select "Download messages:All messages"
and you will download all of them, if you want to do this silly thing. Or you can choose "Today's messages, From the past 3 days, etc.."
2) To see the pictures after you download the body of an email, you need to tap on "Internet picture blocked" (good thing by default) and tap on "Download Interent Pictures".
What is so horrible about the above?

I concur.
Many spam emails use pictures with specific code to know when you have opened an email and get your IP address and do nasty things to you. not such a major problem as WM viruses are still fairly rare at the moment, but certainly best not to automatically download them.
Give the built in apps a good try, and make sure that it is set up correctly to do what you want. If in the end it does not do what you want (and remember that it will never do everything that gmail does through your PC's browser) then look around for another one. But what is the point in paying for third party apps with all the possible trouble they could cause when it is so much simpler to learn how to use things properly in the first place.
the built in app is pretty good as far as email clients go. Not all singing and dancing like flexmail (tried it, very good, but far more complex than it needs to be, IMO), but it does the basics well as long as it is set up correctly. and being that the majority of major email providers around the world are already in it's database, even that is not so hard now.
Although, it seems you did miss the download settings while setting up the account, so it defaulted to only emails from the last 3 days (which is the default setting)
And never let the words "But My nokia used to do this" ever pass your lips!
final note, GMail.....YAY, it's free. But dammit, why can't i delete ****....i don't want every email i've ever got for god's sake!! (although maybe that's just the mobile version!!)

thank you for your long answer. Ill set it up and try for a few days. I would never pay for a program, keygens exist! hehe. Thank you again.

BTW, is there an application which can show me all the headers of an email?
I haven't found one yet-

dude....not cool in this forum

There is a java gmail app which works great on WM6 devices, just go to gmail.com on your phone and you will get a download link.

[Info] More than 4 e-mail accounts

Guys,
With my tilt and TF2D if I had more than 4 e-mail accounts then I would get a down arrow below the 4th account in the accounts tab. So when I wanted to get to the other accounts I could scroll down.
Now with my Fuze (Both AT&T ROM and HTC Rom) I see 2 problems. First when I add the 5th account to the accounts list I get an error in Manilla.exe. the account gets added but I cannot select it from the accounts tab. I have to go to the tab, tap inbox and then pull down the list of accounts at the top and select the new account.
The second is that TF3D doesn't seam to support the down arrow for more then 4 accounts. Based on the error I am getting when I add the 5th and 6th accounts it seams that the code is still there and trying to work but fails.
Anyone got a fix for this? Any help would be great!

Hate to say this, but try a different e-mail client? Something like Flexmail for instance is superior to poutlook in every way, with the only downside (to it and everything else out there) being that it's not integrated with TF3D. With that many e-mail accounts you'll probably want something more advanced anyway.

I know I can use another client I was just hoping that some of these other great minds on here could point me in the right direction to make the OEM tools work. I know they did in TF2D and I'm sure there is a way to get the same result from TF3D.
Anyone?! It would be greatly appreciated.

4 mail accounts only???
hey all i have a cab (wont say from where) that i think will correct this issue. It is a cab for the EPIX but i think it might do the trick.

4th email fix
HOPE THIS WORKS! i looked around and i see where and how to upload files. Here you go and i hope this works.

Thanks justpe8709,
Can you also provide the link to the thread so that I can read more about what this cab does? That way I can see if this is what I need without having to clean up my phone from another cab install that didn't uninstall correctly.
Thanks!

well i got this .cab from a ummmmm non public site. so this is the only thing I have for you. If you want to message me your # i can call you and let you know more info on it.

Internet Pictures Blocked

Ok this may be a dumb question, and quite possibly Im missing something simple.
I have my email set to download the full message I'm on an unlimited data plan and mainly use the data plan for my email. so i'm not worried about data usage.
however my onto my question, when you open an email, a yellow bar at the top of the screen says "Internet Pictures Blocked"
I know its simple, and all you need to do is click the yellow bar, you read the message that says "To protect your privacy, pictures from the Internet are not automatically downloaded"
Bellow the message you click "download Internet pictures"
Easy, Simple, Almost hassle free, I know all that.
But not quiet Hassle free. and it had slowly became the thing that bugs me most about opening my mail.
Again I know Im probably missing something that is so simple most people don't even need to ask how to do it. But is there a way to make it download the full email including the images.
Iv'e had the x1 since it came out here in Britain, and maybe I should have asked earlier rather than, let it bug me every day. But I haven't because it felt like it was a setting i have not configured correctly. and i was just being stupid wasting peoples time with such a simple question.
But I put my hands in the air, I cant find it , I don't know how to do it. I give up. Can someone tell me what I'm not doing correct, and put me out of my misery lol
Thanks in advance for any help

That's a standard feature on most email clients these days.
It's there so that spammers can't hide your email address in an image request - basically the images generated by a script that confirms that your email address is valid.
When your email address is confirmed as valid its more valuable to sell on to spammers as a 'confirmed active' address.
You should only ever allow images to be downloaded from email that you are expectingand where you know the sender - therefore in any email the images will be blocked initially.
Full blown email clients may have a 'white list' for senders addresses that you will automatically allow images from, but not Pocket Outlook unfortunately.
Hope this helps,
FM

Is there a way to bypass that?
My x1 reads the email from 1 folder in my email account. spam, junk and items i don't require to check when out and about, are in other folders of the account and i check those when i get home.
Its just the emails that make it to this approved folder i check on the phone. and it would be good for the full email an images to be downloaded.
However i presume from what you are saying, that even tho i have taken precautions to filter and separate non important emails, that it is still in my best interest and for my own protection that the x1 does not download the images with the rest of the email. and that there is no actual way to change this setting
Thanks for your quick reply
one_mad_punk

I would like to download the images automatically, too.
No one with an idea how to fix that?
