Why would google, make the market place not send a message out when a app is not updated. You would think that would be a simple thing to setup. just does a check when you open up market place.
Don't know if this is what your talking about but the program "aTrackDog" works perfectly for checking for updated versions of all the apps/games on your phone.
thats works great, thanks.
Ok I have one more question, With this being a google phone, a "connected" phone, why is there not a option for homepage in the contact? Or even a second email spot?

if you go into your contacts scroll down and hit "more info" then , you can add as many email addresses as you like to your contact...there's even a drop down menu so you can pick "work" "home", etc.
Ok I did it on my PC, and did not have that option. Its good to know I can do it there for a extra email address.

Actually that functionality exists in the full desktop Gmail contacts manager as well. You can expand 'More Information' to get a Notes and Other field. Add extra email addresses by clickin the 'add' link.

Hi guys,
Im running wm6.1 on my kaiser. As we all know on the htc today screen, theres the 3 buttons below the clock... email, text, and missed calls.
i get a txt, the middle icon shows ive got 1 message. i click that, opens up my sms/mms inbox... read txt etc... close screen.
i then get an email, the left icon shows ive got 1 message. i click that, but for some unknown reason, it loads up the sms/mms inbox. I have to then switch to my email account using the drop down menu.
This never used to happen, but it does it all the time now...
Also, i created a "new account" using my gmail address, instead of using the "outlook E-mail" account... could this be causing the problem? i dont want to have to flash my ROM again, but id like to get this all working properly.
Finally, i just downloaded Slithers CUBE (SCLPC w/FTouchFLO)... and i cannot find where i need to link the email button to in the config. yes, i am a noob, but id still v much appreciate any kind of help with this matter.
thanks one and all
I believe that the Email Icon is linked to the outlook account specifically and not to a user created account (Like Gmail). If it does not find a valid outlook account then it may open up the last accessed account (E.g SMS/MMS).
Hopes this helps.
i've just created/edited the outlook account so that its got all the details etc from my gmail address... but for some reason, it comes up saying error syncronising...

While you are inside the "Message" application (I do not know the correct English word as I'm using a Norwegian version of WM), you can use the left/right button to switch between SMS/MMS, Outlook and other additional e-mail accounts.

Hey Bjorn (sorry, i cant find the propper "o")
I can see what you mean, but my issue is more that it should simply load straight into the email account. And now that ive deleted the account i created, it does just that - loads straight into the outlook account.
However, i keep getting the "error syncing" message whenever i try to download my gmail email.

My intention was just to give you an easier method for switching between your accounts, as this method should be more user-friendly than using drop-down menus
/Bjørn
Try this:
1) Download and run KaiserTweak
2) Find the 'HTC Application' branch.
3) Change the 'HTC Home e-mail button' to 'Open default Mailbox (Advised)'
I've had this same problem in the past. Essentially when you push the e-mail button and it's not working correctly it will open up the messaging app wherever it already is. So if you have SMS open (but minimised/off screen), then pushing the e-mail button will simply open it there.

Im afraid i've been one step ahead... kaisertweak was one of the first things i downloaded... originally, i did have the problem with it loading up the "choose accounts" messaging thing, and i changed that using the kaisertweak settings...
but im afraid, one day on, that i still cant download my email using the outlook account i searched lots yesterday, and found that people either used activesync to jumpstart the emails, or that it just randomly worked the next day. But ive tried both, and both have failed
please, someone, help me get my mail...
billgatessucks
Have exactly the same problem. Did you find the solution?
nope, no solution...
i was fed up of not having emails, so ive remade a new email account and i just have to switch...
tho i am looking into ways of remapping the softkeys so that one is assigned directly to going into your email inbox, and the other to start a new sms... two vital functions that dont seem to exsist on the kaiser
OK, this is probably a silly question, but I can't figure it out for the life of me.
I have set up a mail account to Gmail. In that account I'm forwarding some other accounts of mine, so it gets pretty crowded.
What I would like to do is delete messages from my phone but NOT from Gmail.
Outlook Mobile offers two choices, as far as I can see: when deleting messages either
Move them to server trash, or
Delete them off the server.
Neither of those suits me. I only want to delete them from the bloody phone.
A further restriction is that I like to use my mail from TF3D, and therefore would rather not having to install another mail client unless TF3D can somehow be coerced into working with it.
Oh, and in case you wonder - I don't sync my mail with the desktop Outlook. I'm using Gmail more and more...
Thank you all for your help.
have you tried both options, and seen what the effect on the server inbox is?
ive thought of this before, and it annoyed me greatly, but i cant remember the solution. plus, we all know how wm doesnt word things correctly.

err... sorry.. duplicate post.. don't know why
Tap on mail (touch flo)
Inbox
Menu-Tools-options
Tap on Gmail
(setting should open up now)
Hit 'Edit Account Setup'
Click on next next next next next
(hide key board on Automatic Send/Receive screen)

Thank you for your answer. However, I only have the two options described in my first post. Can you see a third option there?
err.. oops. Just checked again
I could have sworn it was there!
Sorry mate. guess that was on the P1 or something.. not sure.
This might not be a feasible solution, but ... just a thought..
You could set it to keep the messages only for the last 4 or 5 days..
that way, they won't be on your phone, but will be on your server.
A POSSIBLE workaround.. definitely not a solution
Here is what I configured to use the diamond without loss of messages during their removal :
I created a special e-mail address to use with my mobile phone, like [email protected].
And I set up a redirect additional for all my messages to it.
Now, I can delete all my messages without erasing the ones on my main account.
Try to go to "tools" - "option". Click the account you need to edit. Click "send/receive schedule" - "advance settings" - "when deleting messages" dropdown menu.....

Same thing. Just the two options.
Delete from Server.. or Move to Server Trash
OK, I think I've got it. It all boils down to the fact that the default Gmail setup is IMAP. If you change that to POP3 (using the instructions from Gmail) you will be able to delete your mails on the phone only.
It would be nice if someone could confirm this. It certainly seems to be working for me.
EDIT: WORKS! I get "Keep them on server" now.
The problem is related to the gmail server own rules. I have just made a test account and there is no "keep on server" option on the WM mail client. On my other account (my own domain/server) there is no problem.
You could use another mail provider (hotmail, live) for example.

Turns out it actually is IMAP vs POP3. While IMAP is generally better, when you do something locally (on the phone) it is as if it was done on the server (a disadvantage in this case).
The key is to fool Diamond into not recognizing Gmail, which means giving the address as [email protected][B]gm[/B].com, then put all the POP3 settings.
On the other hand, I've noticed it will only download the unread messages...
I finally got access to my company's Exchange Server and configured activesync. Everything is working fine (mails, calendar, ...), except that I can't find anywhere the "Find Online" option for finding contacts on the company's GAL. The old powertoy from microsoft works fine, but I was really looking for the solution integrated to pocket outlook.
I'm using standard WM6 from HTC.. Could someone please help? Even if it's in the form of an updated poutlook.exe (and dlls)? Or registry settings for adding the Find Online option to poutlook?? Help, please!!
Thanks in advance...

The problem was on the server side. After checking Activesync log files, I've found out the server version wasn't matching Exchange 2K3SP2. Further investigation with company's IT, and the problem was fixed. Company Directory now shows on poutlook's contact manager and I can finally search on GAL..
It should be at the point where you are typing a recipient, then under the menu you should see Check Name. I think the next screen should give you a choice to choose between checking the name against your own contact list or you should see the option that says Find Online from there. (My memory was going off a smartphone that was menu based, but hopefully it should be very similar.)

Thanks for the prompt reply! But it's not a case where I can't find an option on a menu. I simply don't have it (Find Online) even after a "can't find match for XXXXX". I'm probably missing a registry setting or there's some mis-configuration on my company's Exchange Server.
Interesting part is, that running the WM6 device emulator on my PC doesn't show that option either...

Thanks for the prompt reply. But as I stated above, it's not a case of not knowing about a menu option. I simply don't have them. I need help finding the registry key / poutlook version or whichever Exchange Server configuration needed to make the Find Online / Company Directory option appear on the menu...
Thanks again though...

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.
I have a group with a list of contacts in my gmail account, how can i display THIS group in my contacts on my nexus one?
You can't, not in the dialer.
But if you just want to work with groups, like assigning ringtone etc, you can download apps from the Market that can do it. Contacts GroupU being one, for example.
You could have just searched the Market for "group".
maybe i'm reading it wrong, but just go to contacts>menu>display options>choose the group

Looks like this would work. Just select your Gmail account and then put the checkbox next to the group you want to be displayed.
Looked a bit and found this option, and also understood why I "lost" it: the "Display options" menu only appears when the tab is "Contacts", and mine stays on "Favorites" when I don't move it from there.
Thanks, and it's probably also what OP was looking for.
