MSN messenger and Live search bar

anybody know if there is seperate .cabs for these so that i dont have to install Microsoft live to have these available...if i could just get the search bar to put in my today screen that searches google and the msn messenger client.

Here is a link to a live search cab http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1966231
There will be loads of stand alone messenger cabs kicking around on here
Good luck

you can use the search cab from this thread in the forums which has a tiny footprint and works perfectly. Very useful if you don't need the hotmail client and just want a searchbar on the today screen.
Fring is supposedly a good messenger client and it's free and reputable. It supports filesharing, Skype and other VOIP standards along with pretty much every IM provider going.

ok thanks...yea leon i ask you about this searchbar thing in another thread.." the favorite app thread"

Email Pictures download and horizontal Scrollbar settings

Hallo,
yesterday my HTC Touch Diamond arrived.
Now I download emails from my POP3 accout. When I open the email (HTML-Format) the ppc doesen't download the email pictures and a securetywarning is shown.
With a click I can download the Pics. Now my question. Is there a setting to download the pics automatic?
And the second message shows you to activate the horizontal scrollbar. Can I activate this for every Email?
Thanks

Ive noticed this on my diamond, i have my gmail account setup but for some odd reason it blocks the pics from downloading so i need to download them manually and i cant seem to get the horizontal scrolling to work.
So would like to know the answers/solutions to this as well.

i'm afraid this is standard through out all the windows mobile phones...... and as far as i've found out it cant be changed.......

Gmail Java app - issues with text size (barely unreadable)

Hello folks,
I just installed the Gmail Java app. It works fine but I have problem reading the messages !!
The diamond as a excellent VGA screen but the gmail app displays the message with no zoom, as if it was a QVGA screen (works great on a HTC Cruise).
Does anybody know how to increase the text siez of the gmail app ?
Thanks in advance.
See the attachef picture and image reading it on a 2.8" screen...

why java app for gmail?
if you want, you can configure an account email on diamond for gmail, and in settings of the gmail prefs on the web, you can configure the pop account for receive the mail in your mail client.
works fine, i just use this configuration, also for 4 different account.

With the Java client you can use all the search functionality of Gmail. No offline client would give you this option, except you download all your mail (up to 7GB currently) to your device.
That's what makes Gmail different from all other mail providers. All IMAP or POP access turns Gmail into an account like any other. The difference is in the search all mail functionality. You'll never understand this until you used it.

Thank you for the tip : I used it, but it's not fast as the java app... and the search functionality is awesome...
Furthermore, gmail handles my 6 personal mail accounts : I use the label / archive functionality.
But I tested the IMAP WM6 client : he does not retrieve correctly all the subfolders of gmail... gmail or WM6 issue ?? I don't have issues with outlook 2003 ou entourage in IMAP config...
gmail IMAP with the wm6 client is useful if you use it in "push" mode (always on).

I guess if google can't provide a client that's readable in VGA you will have to use your web browser.

yep... I think I'm going to stick to that...
I'll send a feedback to google on this issue...
Cheers.

Problem solved !
Hello, i finally managed to find my answer !
I installed the US version version on gmail java 1.5 !
it has an option to enlarge the text.
See the pict.

I've been using the gmail java client with the "large font" switch on for quite some time. But the fonts are still too small, especially when you are walking.
I'm using JBed, what jvm are you using?

Hi!
I'm using the HTC embedded java machine (Esmertec Jbed). My ROM is a genuine HTC rom.
But you're right, even with "Large Font" option, the text is very small...
Cheers.

Search here for Esmertec Jbed new version , so u can define the font size in the registry

I've been using java gmail for a while, but I just switched to real onlie gmail, which happens to be better and faster, in my opinion.

[Q] How to save/download pics from email/web

I realize I'll probably get yelled at because the answer is probably somewhere painfully obvious, although I've searched and haven't found anything... How exactly do you save/downloads pictures from the browser or email, etc to your phone? I tried to do a long press and wait for the option to come up, but just isn't happening for me.
Please be nice, it's been a long day... :-/ lol

I struggled with this myself...
for the browser it is long press/hold and an option will come up, but if your at the mobile version of the website you wont be able to (except for some sites) if you switch to desktop view (full html) you will get the long press/hold options.
Email (gmail client) I have not been able to figure it out not sure if there is a way to, except for clicking the attachment and let it open on your phone then save as within the program that opened the attachment or picture, or open gmail in the browser
hope this helps a little, If someone else knows a way please shed some light

I'm trying out 2.2 and have the default email client (not Gmail) set up to sync with an exchange server. I can't open jpg files sent as attachments. I can open other formats (pdf, doc, etc).
I assume this is because the email client doesn't think there's an app set to default for jpg files, but Gallery and Astro both have viewers and open just fine when I click on a jpg file already on my device.
Does anyone know where/how I set the default jpg viewer in such a way that the email client recognizes it?
Thanks!

black moon doesn't seem to work with the default email app (not gmail). It's probably the apps problem. I don't see any way to preview on attachment. As I posted earlier,I only have this problem with jpegs. I can open other files attachments. The open/preview button just isn't there on the jpeg attachments. But thanks for the suggestions!

I was able to open email, pull down notification bar, tap down arrow of attachments, option to save or open attachment.

IE Browsing

Noticing more and more that out side of google or bing search, this phone has some issues with browsing.
For example today was on aol email. every time i scroll over to see something on the page, it would auto slide back to left side? I can scroll down and hold but when i move side to side, it wont stay, then when I would click on emails to view, it would render them as read but not show them to me?
Then tried yahoo just as a test, same problem.
Any one else?

used yahoo mail yesterday without problems. Do you have the browser set to mobile page view?

Er, try using the email client to look at emails instead of the web browser? Just a thought.
