dismiss email notification with opening inbox - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

When you view emails in manilla (the header in the envelope) the email count does not change, you have to open them in the inbox before they are marked as read, which i suppose is the correct way it should work.
But would it be possible to have the email count change just afer viewing them in manilla?
I get many emails (junk and other nonsense) that i can happy flick through in manilla and know i do not need to read them.
At the moment i have to open and every mail even if i have no interest in its contents?

..
I just delete them straight away from manilla if they are junk

That is great, especially because there is no option in Manila to delete them without opening it or the inbox.
How do you do that?

I dont think this is possible. The touchflo 3D display of email is only really meant to serve as a quick preview. You know.. you get a mail and want to see if its that important one you have been waiting for, so you can get the gist of it via touchflo 3D rather than thrawling through your entire inbox.

i think your right, Its a shame they could not have made manilla email more interactive like the SMS viewer

Yes I agree. Seems like they forgot to add the option to Delete or Marked as Read in the e-mail menu of Manilla. This is really and I MEAN REALLY annoying because I too can see if it's junk or if it's something i need to look at later through Manilla. I don't need the "unread msg count" consistently there in Manilla if I already looked at it in Manilla.
Please can someone fix this without having to burn a different ROM???
Thanks to all.

FINALLY ... an SMS threading program that works PERFECTLY!!

Description: Were you a Treo 650 user? Miss the old threaded "Chat Style" of the text messages? Well, you don't have to be sad any longer! With the SMS Threader application, you can now send and receive your text messages just like you used to! The program will even automatically open even if it's not running! All threads are automatically backed up as HTML files, for easy viewing on any machine!
PS - If the program does not function correctly after installation, your device may need a soft reset.
Thanks, i'will give it a try.
looks good, fonts is a bit small on the message text and can't see a way of making it larger
I have had a couple of crashes when trying to select the message thread with my stylus (which did not open it) and by then using the action button.
I have been after this app for ages so thanks for the post
Paul
great to see SMSs like IMs, its the application I never knew I needed.
Only prob is the character counter doesn't seem to count the characters, staying at "0/160" even when a message is typed.
Also, annoyingly when in a convo the "X"/"OK" button is not present, forcing you to click Options >> Close to exit the convo. Though there seems to be options to "close after response" etc so this might not be so annoying
PocketCM also does a similar thing and in my opinion has a great interface. A must have application IMHO (http://www.pocketcm.com/)
True, the way this is done in Pocketcm is really good. I used it for a while but the rest of the program isn't what i expected from a good contact manager.
I have been using shogunmark_wm6_threaded and it has been perfect so far.
How do these compare to IMSMS, which I find works very nicely -
@argoldst
palm threaded app working perfectly on kaiser? did u manage to make mms feature to work? which rom are you using? would be great to get this all working
After a nights use of the OP app I found it to be a little annoying, for the following reasons:
1. Constant notification alerts in the top bar, even when I have read the thread. This means your constantly "dismissing" an alert, just to see if the thread has been updated with a new SMS
2. The alerts didn't popup over my full screen app (TomTom) which was annoying as I had to minimise TomTom just to check if I had a SMS or not. Default notifications popup over full screen apps AFAIK.
3. All new message go into the thread, but not into the Default Messaging list, so attempts to bypass it are impossible.
Think I will try some of the other threaded SMS apps listed here.
Am I the only one only looking for a little program that automatically threads all my EXISTING SMS's?? Everybody talks about these SMS Threaders that only thread SMS's sent within that program.
CMContacts is better; it looks at my existing SMS database but I do not need another contacts app (FingerFriendlyFriends is THE BEST contact manager for my purposes...) on my Kaiser!
The best solution would be a sort of a threader-plugin on the existing messaging-application, but as far as I know that does not exist...
Just my 2cts!
Does it transfer the sms's already in your inbox to the threaded program? Or does it not? Does it replace your inbox as the Palm Messaging app, or does it only add a new app? Thx
I cant find "CMContacts" anywhere
Do you have a link to this "CMContacts" software?

the version i downloaded automatically sets your defeault SMS to the palm one, and it replaces my old inbox with the new palm one. Basically i installed it and it became my default SMS application automatically. Only downside to palm threaded app is that you cant use on-screen key boards very effectively, they all cover up the txt input box in a convo. message. Except when you write a new message.
and to Eddythepeddy: i believe it will thread all of your existing SMS...hmm could be wrong about this tho, for me it only threaded my sent messages

Sorry for the delayed reply. Yes, everything works perfectly including mms.
The only negative to it is that the txt will not thread until you reply. For examlpe, if you get in 4 sms from Jane but never replied, it will show up as 4 different sms. Once you reply, they will all fall into a single chat (threaded sms) and will stay like that. You ONLY have to reply once to get all future (and past) sms's to thread.

anything special you did to get mms to work correctly? I (and most people here) get a memory error when trying to send mms.
You can get all sms to thread regardless under options. There should be a setting to thread all messages.

Show new mail in folders other than inbox

Hi
I have quite a lot of folders in my Exchange mailbox that hang off the Inbox. I also have server side rules that move incoming mail into the relevant folder when it arrives, however the "new mail" notification in the Home screen only shows new mail in the inbox, rather than new mail in another folder. Can this be configured anywhere?
Apologies if this has been covered before - I did try searching but to no avail.
Cheers
Phil
Yes, I need this too. Anyone?
Thinking about the Exchange rules, is there not a way you could add a condition to the server-side rule so that it only sorts the emails into their correct subfolders AFTER they're marked as read? That's the only workaround I can think of for now (and having only used a Kaiser for about 25 minutes, I don't have much of a point of reference).
I hadn't thought of that, but having just had a quick play with the Rules wizard in Outlook it doesn't look like you can control it to that degree. It's a shame because that would work. If anyone can correct me that I would be only to happy to try it out. Failing that, does anyone else know if it is possible to change the Pocket Outlook behaviour so that new mail in sub-folders triggers the New Mail... info?
Cheers
Phil
Does anyone have any other ideas?
In the menu, select 'tools>manage folders...'. You'll be able to select the folders you want to synchronize.

No, there will be no notification if a new mail in other folder then inbox arrives. Tried that
Anyone else?

Go to PocketMax.net and submit this as a feature request to the author of PhoneAlarm - I asked him for the same thing and he's willing to pursue it if there's enough interest.
PhoneAlarm's custom e-mail notifications make up for a LOT of the missing DirectPush functionality, IMO - and this would be a huge help in that area!

Thanks for the suggestion, but this doesn't have any affect on the new mail notification. Ta though.

remove MMS from messaging.

Updated to wm6.1 and finding it a real drag to work around the MMS when making a new SMS in 'messaging'. Is there any way I can edit the menus to remove the MMS option?
Thanks!
Is there an advantage to have it separate from SMS?

Good question, I'd also like to knwo the answer.
What do you mean it is difficult to make a new sms.... click Messaging, click new click sms type????
That's my thought also!
If you want to separate your SMS and MMS, you need to search for and install a version of Arcsoft that does not use a merged inbox.
i dont think its possible to use a separte inboxes with kaiser roms
you can do a temporaraily fix if you are desperate and this will be creating two folders inside the inbox one called sms and one mms, but to be honest i dont think its logical to separte these two! in old devices we used to have this now they are merged (why taking step backward)?
I know some of the cooked ROMs have them separate. I prefer them together.

There's a cab in my 4shared folder that has them separated, but honestly if your sole reason is that it is too much work to have to click new--then scroll down one more space to "sms" then it makes me think that installing a new version of archsoft and running the connection wizard again will also be too much work.
You shoul consider installing htc action screen with will allow you to create a new sms very easily. Also, remember that once you have a thread for an individual you don't need to select a new message. Just go to the conversation with them and it will send sms by default.

Touchflo 2D - messages & e-mails in list / threaded view?

Having to go through every e-mail / message to get to the one you want is pretty annoying IMO.. is there a way to show every message in a list / threaded view?
Thanks!
Why don't you just click the button INBOX and open up your email account. The M2D is not meant to see all of your messages, just a screen that gives the basic info right now....

cant get palm messaging working with manilla 2d

I have tried a bunch of roms and I cant seem to get palms threaded messaging working with the manilla 2d.
I really dislike the wm6.1 messaging.
My only problem is that the message doesnt show when I scroll to the messages button. but when i get a new message it does show on the count.
right now im using PDACornerUltimate.V5-20759
*edit* the text messaging and everything works i just want it to show on that screen

Palm sms takes over your regular sms function if i remember correctly, which means that to get it to show in manila2D then you'd need to do modify the actual manila application. Since you didn't know that, i'd say it's safe to assume that is beyond your abilities, and i don't think anyone probably thinks that it's worth it. I may be wrong of course, but i think you're just going to have to choose one or the other.
For future reference, this question should have been posted in any of the threads about manila2D or int he thread for the rom that you are using.
