"Alerts are text messages that contain only the e-mail header information. Each alert is billed as a text message.
If your phone has the My E-mail Triggers feature, you can set up the alerts to silently trigger the retrieval of new e-mail messages into your phone's e-mail Inbox. You will not be charged for these "Trigger Alerts" and they will not appear in your SMS Inbox. Click here to see a list of phones that have the My E-mail Triggers feature."
In the list of phones the MDA is listed which I believe is the 8525. Is there anyway to make my tilt compatible? I have searched here for hours so don't tell me to search please. I am currently running PDACornerUltimate V18 ROM.

Hi all,
quick question today.
On my HTC Home & SPB Phone Suite, it says that I have 1 unread mail, no unread SMS and no missed calls.
The problem is, everything has been read, there are no unread emails. To complicate matters, even if I get new mail and SMS it still says, 1 unread email.
I am however able to identify what is read and what is unread in the messaging client.
Perhaps there is a way for me to reset the count in the device database or something of that nature?
Looking forward to some advice.
Thanks in advance.
For some reason when I tap on 'new' to create a new email message, nothing happens (i.e. there is no response at all). I am able to receive messages. It has only just started doing this, so i wonder if i have somehow disabled this function. Any advice will be gratefully received.
Hi, I have the same problem. It is also not possible to send a response for a mail (entering text is OK but pressing the "Send"-Button does not send, it just "beeps" and nothing happens.)
So it is only possible to send a Mail to a contact in the adressbook (sending to another mail address is only this way: create a mail with an existing contact and then change the "To:" to the right mail).
This misbehavior depends on the Mail-Account: with my Exchange its NOT working, with Hotmail its OK (both on the same PDA). I think it a switch in the registry? (Policies?)
Since now I have no solution (but I have not searched very deeply).
Hello, I'm a newbie here. I have a ATT Tilt. I love the phone. However I hate the threaded messages. Whenever I receive a new text, the message contents are displayed on the screen. Some of my messages are private, and if some is using my phone or I am showing someone something, they can read my message. Is there anyway to remove this?
Please help
Thanks
threaded? - that's not threaded, threaded sms is where multiple sms messages are grouped together. What you are talking about is just a notification. Go into sound settings and turn off the "display message on screen" for New SMS messages
Thanks!
... so how exactly does threaded sms work
DELETED - double post
I guess the easiest comparison would be "gmail". Have you ever seen how gmail displays email messages? It basically threads all related messages together. Since text messages don't really keep a history of the current conversation, threaded text messages allow the user to see the history of the conversation all threaded together. Take a look a gmail account and it will make total sense. The Palm devices that run WM had a thread sms application but regular WM devices lilke the Tilt don't have it by default.
I was just thinking of that. So its similar to Gmail conversations... Is it based on Ajax technology as well?......Is it auto enabled, or do I have to enable it?
Hey...
I asked this question a while back in the PPC6700 forums when I had that device on WM5...never found an answer. I'm hoping something has changed in that time frame.
I want to be able to have audible alerts for incoming e-mail, but ONLY from specific senders. Using SMS is not an option.
So, for instance if I get an email from [email protected] it will ring an alarm (at 3am and wake me up) but if is an e-mail from anyone else it will stay silent.
Any way to do this, even if I have to purchase an additonal application?
thx!
I realize that its name, Photo Contacts Pro, is a bit misleading, but this is a very powerful/flexible program that will do exactly what you're looking for. Take a look at its incarnations at the vendor's website and decide for yourself -- there's alot there to read:

Thanks Mark,
Are you 100% sure that this application can do what I ask?
I looked on their website and their features list that you can assign distinctive Ring and SMS tones to different contacts. It doesn't mention anything about e-mail.
I would plan on using pocket outlook with push mail from an Exchange server...so I really think it would be the function of the mail client to differentiate one incoming e-mail from another. Maybe there is a more feature rich e-mail client that has this functionality?
If you have actually done what I have asked (distinctive alerts to specific EMAIL addresses), then I will download the demo and see what I can do...
thanks again!

Hate to disappoint but it will not do that. This software currently operates on incoming caller id (sms has that also) not email address. I did suggest the use of email to them in addition to sms so they may someday do some work on it but not now.
Although I don't currently know of anything that will do what you want (which doesn't mean it isn't available) you MAY be able to get around the limitation.
I would try having the exchange server fire out a short note or even a forward of the email to your phone's sms address. They all have the ability to get the email as sms albeit it would be chopped to 160 chars. Now, if you can identify the source of the incoming sms via caller id you can indeed use photocontacts by creating a special profile with silence being the default for all contacts except the exchange server forwards. This way the incoming sms will set off the alarm which will tell you to check your email.
Hey, better than nothing, no?
eh..yeah thanks NY... I was afraid of that answer.
What we did for our alerting system previously was have the alerts sent to the phone mail/SMS address and all other e-mails to our normal exchange. This way we would turn on SMS alerts and turn off e-mail. It does work, but not the ideal solution. It would be so simple to have this functionlity in pocket Outlook as a "rule" too bad they haven't gotten there yet!
thanks
having that kind of selection hasn't gotten that far yet, don't forget this is a pocket pc with phone capabilities

I'm aware of a couple of programs that will alert based on email sender, subject, etc. The first is Message Alerts, and the second is Watchflag. I've never used Watchflags before, but it looks pretty good. I used Message Alerts back when I had a RIM Blackberry. It worked perfectly.
Try also phoneAlarm V2.0 not 1.66 from http://www.pocketmax.net
This is a new option in V2.0
Beautiful guys thanks! All 3 look like they will do what i want (from description) I will try them out.
thanks again!
bengalih, thanks for the link. Question for you, did you ever try one of these programs? I guess my request is a little different than yours was in that I am not trying to notify by email address but simply by email account. So one notification for my Yahoo, another for my daughters and yet another for work. If one of these apps can accomplish this, then that would be great. Thanks again.
Email notification
This is only mildly related, but I want my new email notification to show the sender and/or subject line and not just "You have ## new email messages..."
I can't find any notification settings that would adjust this. Any suggestions?
Hi,
I just flashed another ROM onto my device, and restored the call history and SMS message box with PPCPimBackup. Ever since, the mail count (not the SMS count, the mail count) in my Touch Flow 3D interface says I have one unread message.
I defined no mailboxes yet, and it still says one unread message. If I define mailboxes and send myself email, I have 2 unread messages instead of the actual 1 unread message.
Is there a way to reset the unread mail count in the Touch Flow 3D interface?
Thanx
I had this. Only way was to delete the email account and readd it.
I tried this, but that did not work (even crashed Manilla ).
However, when deleting the mail account, it switched to my Outlook mail account which I don't use. But right there, there was this "Welcome to Pocket PC Outlook!" message. That was the message showing up as unread!
So thank you for the tip, it indirectly lead me to the solution
