Email attachments.

I have a two problems with e-mail on my kaiser. Firstly when creating a new hotmail e-mail account under messaging, PIE connects to the internet and displays windows live, which is fine, but it never adds an account together with the SMS and MMS accounts. Secondly i cannot download or send any attachments, I can see the attchment but there is no link to actually download it. Please help with this problem is much appreciated. Thanks.

yes indeede I have the same problem.
I can not get the attachment it won't load....

Hi,
afaik hotmail does not support Pop3 or IMAP unless you pay for the account.
I however have a different question, sorry for highjacking!
I have 2 pop3 mail accounts. I just bought a 4 GB SD Card and wanted to save the attachements on my SD Card. However, I can not select the option "store attachements on storage card" (freely translated into english). The mail program does not find my card, it states that I have no card, it is there and is working with all other applications.
Any idea?

exchange. all folders

hello, my name is Borja, and i´m from Spain.
i want to buy this HTC Kaiser.
but i have some questions, maybe you could help me.
my email works on a exchange 2003 server, and y use in my computer the microsoft outlook RPC over HTTP.
1. could i have all the folders that i have in exchange? so, if all my email have for example 1 GB, can i have all my email in my future Kaiser? not only inbox, i want to have inbox, all folders tha i have in my microsoft outlook.
1.a. with all the windows mobiles can i sincronice all folders? or only with the profesional edition?
2.i need to work recieving all day emails, i think pushemail is the perect solution, but do you think is the kaiser good for this? i say that if the batry y so good for all day.
3. if you dont think the kaiser is good, could you tell me any HTC (or other) that it could be good for me? i use to have 1gb in my account of exchange
thank you so much for all
regards

Yes, yes and yes.
As long as you have Exchange Server 2003 R2 or later and outlook web access on your server, you can have direct push syncing - with all folders.
The only issues are: if you use rules to move email to other folders, you wont be notified about new mail for those folders - only the inbox; and you dont want 1gb of mail on a mobile device... but thats easy to fix - a) set a date limit on the emails you want to sync and b) a size limit it syncs.
If you then wish to download a bigger email or attachment, you just click on it and select it to download.

thank you
thank you!!
i need have all my emails, so i can download the first 5kb of all emails and if i want to read the all email or the attach... i´ll donwload all message.
ok.
could i download all the emails to the SD card? or in the phone?

You can route the attachements to SD card, but not the emails.
Still, most space is used by the attachemnts anyway.

I'm at my wits end with email.

Hi guys,
I don't mean to vent frustrations here but I'm becoming increasingly disappointed with my T-Mobile Vario III (WM6).
My main issue lies with the email capabilities and its seeming inability to work consistently and correctly in my hands. Initially, I was not able to see the link for email attachments let alone download them.
I learned that I needed Windows Live to accomplish this. So I downloaded the CAB file, installed it, synced it with my hotmail inbox and everything appeared to be ok. Wrong.
I was able to click the attachment, which happened to be an .xls file, and download it. However, it revealed itself in 'Mail Attachments' on my SD card. Lets say the file was called Book1.xls, when I open Mail Attachments, the file is there but it has been renamed to '340000d2-330000d4' and is unrecognisable to Excel Mobile. The file is ~ 730kb. The phone suggests I go to Excel Mobile and try to open it through the application. This doesn't seem to be achievable.
What's more, when I go back to my inbox and try and re-download the file, it won't let me. It tells me it 'Cannot display the attachment'. Occasionally it will also say it 'Failed to sync folders'.
This whole process seems so much simpler on my friend's N95. Go straight to hotmail, download attachment, open with Spreadsheet and bang, it's there. Why can't the Vario III be like that?
I apologise in advance if I'm being incompetant but surely it shouldn't be this fiddly.
Thanks.

So if I understand you correctly, you can't view/open email attachments in your pocket outlook.
If that's the case, (if you're installed the latest windows cab), do have the latest version of "Windows Live" and/or Pocket MS Office '07?
Perhaps you should use a different email client (Fleximail, Profimail, (not free).
I also suggest you try the link in my signature "General Software Questions". That way, more people will be able to see and answer your question(s)

If I read things right, you are trying to download your email from Hotmail?? If this is right, then to be honest the best solution is to change to a proper pop3 address (Gmail for example).
I use Gmail on my Tytn II and have no problems downloading attachments etc using the built in Outlook client, the only thing I have done is to get another program to build a "check email" schedule.
If you aren't using Hotmail, then ignore this!

Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate the responses.
I was using Hotmail in a vain attempt to retrieve my attachments. After about 4 or 5 hours of research and effort, I decided to give up. I tried using Gmail and it works fine, as long as I don't use the html version of mobile Google. Normal Gmail allows me to save the excel file to my documents and open it with Excel Mobile.
I am satisfied, I suppose.
Thanks again.

I think you would be better of activating pop3 on Gmail and using the built in Outlook and not going through a browser, but its up to you.

If using gmail, I would enable IMAP on your gmail account, then set it up as a regular IMAP email on the Kaiser. Much better then POP on a mobile device.

I think the problem with the poster is he's opening the files directly from the mail attachment folder which is where Pocket Outlook puts the attachments with whatever name it wants to use.
What you have to do is go to your email and you'll see the attachment there with its correct name. Click and hold, choose save as and pick the location. Then you can browse to the location using windows explorer or excel and open it from there. Just like a pc.

Yeah, I worked it out: Don't use Hotmail. I configured it to use Gmail IMAP and it works fine. Now I just have the multitude of other bugs to deal with...
Thanks again.

using Internal Storage for mail

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
Brian

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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)

Yahoomail with all folders sync on Fuze

Hi All
First off, thanks for this great site and enormous info.
I am new to winmo (got HTC Fuze a week back) and need some help from the experts for email setup on my phone. Have read a lot of posts on email setup and many on gmail, imap and push email but couldnt get my concern answered fully.
I want to setup Yahoomail (free) with all folders (~20) synced with the web version. what would be the best way addressing...
- all folders and sent mail synced in phone & web
- can all emails be on the memory card (8gb?) for easy search
- I have 1 more yahoo and 2 gmail accounts which would be nice to have on phone with all 4 accounts separate. (i know!)
- dont like the idea of forwarding to some mail2web, etc account
1. I thought YahooGo3.0 would be the best fit for me but now I realize that it does not support VGA yet.
2. Tried SEVEN which is great but it didnt syn all folders (SentMail for example). Also, where do messages get saved when using SEVEN?
3. Tried XpressMail but that syncs only Inbox
4. Can the inbuilt outlook be simply used to do this without syncing with desktop outlook?
Many thanks
Mayank

you can have multiple accounts. It sounds like you're opting out of exchange which is fine and it'll still sync. to sync all of the folders simply go into the inbox, menu - tools - manage folders and check all of them. 8gigs is a lot but it's a question of what you're syncing. In options you can put all of the attachments on your storage card. i think the default is message stay on the internal memory.
