Greets,
I use Eudora on my main system, and would like to keep that as my master email program. During my work day, I use a program which does not impact the email on the server (so that it is still there when I get home). Many programs do this on the PC including MailWasher and Magic Mail Monitor.
I would like to be able to check my POP3 email accounts on my Tilt, but not affect the existence of the email on the server or change from Eudora.
Thanks!
The standard (preinstalled) Messaging program can do just that. When you configure your account make sure to select "Advanced Settings" and select "Keep them on the server".

You don't need to do so - unless you delete stuff by hand.
BTW, make sure you read my Mailer Bible in the Wiki; it thoroughly compares all mailer clients for Windows Mobile.

I have also been looking for a good email program. Whatever you do dont waste your time on Flexmail. Endless troubles. I have reverted to the built in email and messaging program which comes with WM6 untill something else comes up.
Is there any way (registry hack or otherwise) to change my default messaging program from POutlook to another executable on my device?
Anybody know?
I don't know how to do this, but flexmail has this option built in into the program itself.
maybe the application you are using has the same option!
cheers
Finger Friendly Friends is a very nice contact manager from jahnotto, which has the function to be set to default contacts app. You can also start poutlook from FFF, so it's still reachable in a quick way.
It is not freeware anymore since version 1.0: $14,99.

EDIT: If you want to use another contacts app set to default maybe you should directly ask jahnotto how he has done it for FFF. I think it's only a registry tweak and I'm sure he would give the information to you.
Hello! I'm new to this forum. Seeing as how most of my questions have been answered here from Google searches, I decided to join this forum.
I'm trying to install Gmail mobile from (m.google.com/mail) onto my Tilt running WM6.1. I'm not running any fancy ROM. Just the latest ROM found off the HTC website. During the install, I keep getting this error:
gmail.jad?dc=gwm?ver=v1.50.1193 cannot be found at this URL. -1 Please
contact your operator for more information.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you!
requires java since that's a java file.get the midlet manager or other versions of that app
I already have a midlet manager, I think. I've got this installed on my PDA: "Emsertec Jbed Build ID: 20080428.2.1". If that isn't the right one, could you suggest a better one?
Anyone who has run into this problem able to help?
I just downloaded it with PIE.
Sorry, you're talking to a newbie here. What is PIE?
pocket internet explorer
I can download the "gmail.jad" file. But I cannot install it. I get the error included in my first post.
open the java machine and then point it at the .jar file.
I did and that is the error I received during install.
try this. I had the same problem as you and this worked...
Install the JBed3dMod_RU_FIX.zip file Java Midlet Manager from this post.
Then, install the Gmail app to the jbed you just installed.
Thank you, it worked! But I don't see a Gmail icon anywhere. I have to launch the new "JBed3dMod.." app and then from there launch Gmail. Is there a way to launch the Gmail app directly?
And what is this "JBed3dMod.." app?

If you have problems creating the shortcut, the easiers way to do it is on your ppc using total commander. create the text file containing your shortcut parameters and save it as gmail.txt then rename gmail.txt as gmail.lnk and copy the shortcut to windows\start menu\program files
it will then show up in your program files and you can even assign it to a button if you like

That is the new Java app/midlet manager that you installed that allows the Gmail java app to work.

yep.
try putting this code in a .lnk file:
Code:
1#"\Program Files\Jbed3DModTest\JBed.exe", -run s0_
"run s0" is the command for the application number if you have more than one java aplication you will have to find out which number yours is (they should be ordered from top to bottum starting from zero on...)
and although it shouldn't matter to much on this because it isn't a long code 1# should really be 48# that number desribes how many characters are in the action you want to preform
Thank you! I created the shortcut, though the instructions weren't exactly correct for my situations. After fiddling around I got the shortcut working.
I noticed it uses the same icon as the "JBed3dMod.." app. This might be asking for too much, but is there a way I could assign a different icon for my newly created shortcut?
icons...
This is a relatively hard topic to find & understand from this forum. But through a bit of patience, it can be done.
Here you can read how to change icons for folders:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=339405&highlight=icons
For icons for individual files, like the Gmail .lnk file I sort of learned by myself (read ^ that thread first):
Select an icon from your .dll
Select a setting or program to link to
Then, simply create a .lnk file that is structured like this example [ex. for Gmail]:
Code:
1#"\Program Files\Jbed3DModTest\JBed.exe", -run s0_,17?\Windows\custicons.dll,-186
again, it takes some practice + patience.
Why not just use the built-in e-mail client?
Why even bother with the java applet?
I just use the Pocket Outlook (or whatever the default messaging / SMS / e-mail app is) and set it up for IMAP with GMail's servers:
Username: [email protected]
Password: your password
Incoming server: imap.gmail.com
Outgoing server: smtp.gmail.com
Outgoing server requires authentication: Yep
Require SSL for Incoming e-mail: Yarr
Require SSL for Outgoing e-mail: Aye
Account Type: IMAP4
Use the default settings for all the other options, if you wish..
Then, if you want to do the GMail "Archive" action:
..move the message to the "All Mail" folder
If you want to do the GMail "Report Spam" action:
..move the message to the "Spam" folder
No fun GChat stuff here, but otherwise gets the basic job done.. No download or JVM needed
Hope this helps someone! Also, this could apply to any E-mail client (as long as it supports IMAP4) and not just M$PO.

Thanks for the information on the icons. I guess that's too much trouble for me right now. Was hoping there would be an easy way. I guess I'm just lazy .
I was using the built in email client first with the IMAP4 settings. But the two main reasons I prefer to use the Gmail client is because I can view everything by conversation and I can easily see my starred messages.
Not sure why (probably something to do with the midlet maanger or J2ME version used) but the Gmail Java app works falwlessly with the Energy ROM for the Diamond (GSM version).
I couldn't get it to install with any other ROM (tried stock, Duttys, Tech Team, Gen Y, Dia Duit and many more). Kept getting 'file not associated to a programme' when trying to install the JAD or JAR file for the app.
Alternatively, just managed to get Gmail to sync using the messaging app native to Windows Mobile. The trick (thanks to another thread on XDA) was to make sure proxy settings were disabled for the data connection, and also to make sure SSL was selected for both incoming and outgoing mail. Beforehand I just kept getting "cannot connect with current settings" despite the fact that I could browse the web with no problems at all.
To help you decide which to use (native Messaging or Gmail JAVA app), the app seems to work faster (i.e. emails arrive on the phone quicker). The downside is the inconvenience (i.e. need to go to Programs, select the Gmail app shortcut, click refresh and then confirm that you want to make a data connection and then one more click to confirm whether you want to be asked to confirm each time you click something in the app, or if you want to use it uninterrupted until the next session). Bit of a faff IMHO.
For Java app to runs on WM, it needs Jbed - jJava midlet manager. Make sure your wm have it, if not install it first. Energy ROM comes wid jbed.
I have an HTC Touchpro 2 with windows mobile. The touchflo bar at the botton of the HTC Sense homepage is nice with one exception...the inability to change default programs.
Let's start with the webbrowser for example. I do NOT like Opera. As a matter of fact I use Skyfire. Currently it's sitting in the PROGRAMS tab and then I have to choose the browser from there. I would like to set it up so that I can just go to the internet tab and hit the planet/web icon and it will launch skyfire instead of opera. Is this doable?
Then there are the bookmarks on the internet tab. I don't want this to be a political thread, so don't make it one. It comes programmed with CNN and ESPN on there. Well one, I do not like CNN and I'd much rather put FOX on there. Second, I don't much care for sports so I'd like to remove ESPN altogether. It would be nice if I could add my own bookmarks.
What about the other programs? Can I change the default calender? What about the text program? The text program is ok but when I am sending a message to 10 people, I dont like having to type in each number or go select each name one at a time. I'd like a text/multimedia program that will let me select multiple recipients.
I know this is a lot to ask but once you point me in the right direction, I'll get it. Thanks in advance for the help.
~Mike
I am eager to know the answer?
hello
you have to go to opera settings and uncheck the default program. then you have to open skyfire and check default browser and that's it. for the bookmarks you can remove them from the list. you have to open the bookmarks and go to menu and go to remove then you check the bookmarks that you want to remove.
