Database Develop

Automatically download images in Outlook Mobile?

I use Pocket Outlook for my email to a great extent. I am sick and tired of clicking on two links to see the images in each email.
Switching to another email software package would be considered, but which one of them can connect and synchronize with my desktop outlook?

all the third parties one use the default databases so it syncs the same way, the application just displays the data better and gives more options.

Not true
All the third party pocket outlook replacements do not use the same outlook databases at all.
Still looking for either how to turn this on by default or for suggestions on actrual third party replacements that do a good job and do use the same DB...

I agree Kruse,
I have not found any 3rd party email SW yet that is all inclusive with the Outlook contacts database.
On a somewhat similar topic, would you or anyone else on this thread know how I can delete or turn off the (Mobile Outlook) feature that currently duplicates all of my sent emails and returns them back to my inbox on My Kaiser/TytnII? I've searched the forum for about three days and found nothing so far on this topic.
If I try to delete them the next time I Send/Receive they just show up again, which is ultra frustrating. The same sent emails (that I deleted) keep reappearing until some pre-determined setting in either the mobile or PC version of MS Outlook (expires I guess) and/or decides it is time for those emails to not register in the inbox as new mail anymore.
Could this somehow be an Outlook setting on my PC?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely

Sent items in inbox - solution (gmail, mapi)
You are not using the "recent:" setting, look into the setup instructions in google, that will get rid of the sent stuff appearing in the inbox. Basically, in your settings on the handheld only, the email address you set up in your configuration should not be
<whatever>@gmail.com
but instead:
recent:<whatever>@gmail.com

I note that your sig shows a version 1 hardSPL. Do you still use this SPL now with your 1.65 series radio? Have you seen the *Hopeless* GPS after 6.1 update thread yet? If you use a SPL designed for WM 6.0 with a WM 6.1 setup, you may encounter numerous problems. Checking the thread referred to above should help get your GPS up and running again

diamond wm6.1/problems deleting e-mails off server

Tried the several ideas (unchecking-checking e-mail server deletion option and hard reset) posted on sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1864960&posted=1#post1864960, but without success. Messages stay on server (have several different e-mail servers), relevant feature for me to organize on the road. Had a HTC 3300 until last week, with no issues on this matter at all, now with Diamond/WM 6.1 it simply doesn't work. Made several more tests, notice that until connecting again to server for sending new message, seems that the deletion worked but once new message is sent, messages are downloaded again. Didn't find any mention to this on several threads (am I missing something?) and appreciate help to fix!

same here.
what i did is instate of using POP, I change to IMAP.
my email support both POP & IMAP.

I've got the same problem with POP3 accounts. I'm guessing it's a WM6.1 thing - used to work fine with the exact same config on my TYTN II.
Would really love to hear from anyone that finds a fix.

hi!
i don't think that this is depending on wm6.1!
i had a trinity with wm6.1 and always synced with exchange (as i do now
with my diamond) with no problems.
since i have the diamond the deleted items don't disappear in my exchange
account, when i return to office the deleted items are still there...
regards,
markus

I can confirm that this is a bug with exchange and wm6.
You delete or move an email and it will not make the changes to the server until an email or appointment is pushed through to you.

only solution is then to wait for WM7?

Hide activesync popup on my device

I have searched all weekend for a solution to this with no luck.
I upgraded my TILT to the new official ROM.
I am using exchange server for my email.
When I am using the device or sometimes when I start to use it, a window is opened full screen with the title "Activesync." The form has a big empty rectangle in it.
I know the device is "syncing" however , i don't want it moving to the top of everything I am working on.
Is there a way to hide this function?
Thanks

If im not mistaking, there is a setting in kaiserTweak that allows you to do this

I have been through KaiserTweak and haven't found it.
Do you know which setting?

yes, i would like to know as well...i have never seen this before

Well I discovered the cause of the window popup... This empty activesync dialog is actually an error received from the exchange server, specifically exchange server 2007.
There is a known BUG that Microsoft has been working for the last few months that occurs between WM6.1 and Exchange server 2007. If you mail from your phone on your exchange account, it will send the mail, however the mail remains in your PPC outbox that results in sending the mail again upon the next server sync. The mail never leaves your outbox - resulting in the error dialog, and the mail sending over and over - 26 times for me last night to a group of 20+ people.
I may have to downgrade my Tilt to WM6.0, unless I can find a magical way of deleting the email from the PPC outbox after it is sent....

umm...are you sure about this, what about the people that have never used an exchange setup. or are you saying that by default, that the phone is trying to connect to an exchange server?

What I am trying to say is if you are using an exchange server for you email - as I do for work, then this bug occurs only for the OUTLOOK mail.
I have two yahoo accounts and one gmail account and I do not get this "stuck" sent mail in the outbox. Only in the OUTLOOK mail that communicates with the company exchange server.
Sorry for the confusion...

Well, I have to downgrade back to 6.0. Bummer! I was enjoying the battery life from the new radio in the ATT6.1 rom.
I sent one mail from my device, went straight to the OUTBOX to delete the mail - and during this 30 second time frame, it sent the mail 5 times!
Just a warning, if you are using exchange server 2007 - do NOT upgrade to 6.1. Sending mail is just broke.

I use WM 6.1 and ES 2007 without issue, never heard of this bug. Do you know anyone else at your job with the same issue?

another issue
hi i have another issue with AS and i cant seem to find anyone else with the same problem. while syncing music/videos with wmp11 on vista the connection is always lost about 1/4 the sync list. anyone know about this?

marty...
Yes I do. Someone just got a TILT for work that came with 6.1 already installed. He has the same issue with the email.

I don't use exchange server myself but have you tried changing your schedule settings to sync manually. I beilve it's in activesync/menu/schedule

HBEAR,
Yes I have. I tried setting it to exclusive. Heck, I even mapped the PPT button to show the today screen to get by the popup.
The popup you are seeing is the error from exchange server. When you send mail from the exchange account, the mail will get stuck in the outbox and keep sending until you delete it yourself.
Our company is going to implement the Microsoft patch to fix this in the middle of October. I couldn't wait, so I downgraded back to 6.0. TF2D works great on it. However, now my battery drains fast again.
I looked through the forums to see what radio and SPL that could be flashed for a 6.0 rom but everything I found was for 6.1. So I am using the unbloated ATT rom.
Man i miss the 6.1 radio!

Manila 2.5 Facebook contacts and birthdays

Hi,
I've allready posted my concern a couple of times in the |B|6.5.1|ROM|WWE| ★ EnergyROM "Leo" 23081/21864 | Oct 28 | ★ Manila 2.5 ★ thread, but nobody is willing or is not able to give me a concrete answer.
In the following quoted message I've described my concern:
giniman said:
With all manila 2.5 versions I've tried so far, the fb contact pictrures are stored under \Windows\FBContacts and will not set as wm contact pictures. All fb pictures and birthdays are shown in manila, not in wm contacts though.
So if you select show more contact informations on manila contact, you will be redirected to the wm contact manager and there are no photos and no birthdays set. That's the reason why the caller ID is not working and also all these informations are not synchronized with outlook
This is really sad, because on manila 2.1 everything was working as expected and this feature is sooooo sweet
So I think this is definitiv a manila 2.5 bug, or a htc feature...lol
Hopefully someone is able to fix that.

I would like to know if this is only a bug in all the ported manila 2.5 roms, or does the original leo manila version has the same strange behaviour?
I can't imagine that htc would remove that great feature...
If anybody could give me a concrete answer to that issue, that would be great
I really like the look an feel of the new manila 2.5, but without that working feature I need to flash back a rom with manila 2.1.
Thx in advance
greetz giniman

I've got the same problem/issue as you.
I try to live with it, but every ROM I'm hoping this issue to be resolved... It's the only thing that I still need for 'the perfect ROM'.

I'am missing that, too.
Maybe the quality of the FB pictures is too bad???

I have the same Problem.

try this for photos: http://www.booksync.co.uk/
"This is an application for Windows Mobile phones that will allow you to synchronise the pictures of the contacts in your phone with profile pictures of your friends on Facebook.
Because phone book contacts may not match with peoples real names on Facebook you first match the contacts. This matching is then stored for future synchronising."

Thx for that tip, I already know that app and I used to use it before manila 2.1
What I mean is that manila 2.5 implements the feature of automatic downloading the fb contact pictures and birthdays, they are not stored in the native wm contact library though. Manila itself is able to show these pictures and birthday events, but wm is not!!
The real strange thing is that with manila 2.1 everything was working correct
Is there any great xda chef out there who is able to fix that?? Or maybe we should ask this question in the Leo section to get the info if this is a general manila 2.5, or only a porting bug.
greetz giniman

I agree this is very strange, why on earth would they not store the information in the native contact? They mus thave implemented their own contact database in addition to the native one, very odd! There is almost no point of facebook integration if you can't sync birthday information and see the photo when they call etc..

Glad to see that I'm not the only one who is missing this feature...
greetz giniman

Glad there's a dedicated thread for this! Its was one of the features that most impressed me when I flashed my first dutty 6.1 ROM, and in fact, got me returning to the same ROM after subsequent 6.5 ROMs lost the feature. I'm currently on Dutty's holy grail 6.5 with manila 2.1, and this only syncs the photo, but not the contact. I tried the 2.5 version and that didn't sync either.
It'd be great to get to the bottom of this but alas I have no programming skills whatsoever so can't be of much help!

all birthdays shifted 1 day
I've got another strange issue with birthdays:
I noticed this at the first 6.5 rom I flashed (dutty's R6) - ALL birthdays are shown 1 day shifted after syncing from exchange! When I correct some and sync again - nothing happens with the 'original' contact @ exchange, where the birthday always was correct.
E.g.: My contact card in manila shows my birthday as the 8th february, though my birthday is on the 9th - also the exchange contact states the 9th feb.
When I now correct my birthday on my phone and sync with exchange, nothing happens to the exchange contact birthday, but the phone-contact-birthday stays correct. But when I hard-reset my phone and sync again - guess what: all birthdays shifted again... So WTF?
When I sync a contact with FB it shows the correct date in addition - so 2 birthdays are shown....
Am I alone with this?
[edit]
I'm on duttys holy grale R0 manila 2.5 right now

OK I did some more testing, here is what I found using Miri's 12.0 ROM. Obviously with different ROMs you may have different results.
- Birthdays downloaded do go into WM contacts, and then are sync'ed via Activesync (hooray!)
- Photos do not, but can be selected manually using WM contacts and then sync - normally this appeared in outlook, but not always. But borwsing to the Windows\FBContacts folder is very slow, 2 minutes to select each photo, since it displays a preview of all the folders. It would be nice if you could turn that off, or choose another folder to save contacts in (e.g. outside Windows). Pictures also look good both on the people screen and in outlook contacts and when calling.
- When you select a facebook contact to associate with, you have to wait for it to show the photo otherwise it never downloads it and you have to re-associate
- Also, I tried creating a shortcut to FBcontacts folder to make selecting a picture quicker, but that doesn't work
- If you let it show all photos of everyone when associating an account, it will download all photos into FBContacts whether you associate the acount or not. You could then therefore copy the folder somewhere else, and then manually assign each picture to each Windows contact. I put it in DCIM\100MEDIA as this makes it quickes when adding to a contact.

Dutty's R7 did work - his newest "holy grail" doesn't.
try this: contact (htc app) -> edit (one of your FB contacts) -> tick the picture! (upper right corner)
for me the FB option is grayed out, strangely enough...although the account is associated????

HTC do not comply with Windows Mobile standard. With each upgraded version of its Manila the situation will get worse I think.

I noticed this also and I'm on XannyTech's 2.0c with Manila 2.5 - I wonder why all birthdays are all shifted by 1 day??
Any resolution?

Manila 2.5 has completely screwed my birthdays up. I'm using google calendar through the google-sync exchange thing. Every so often I get a message on the phone saying "A change on the server means all data needs to be re-synchronised". After that the birthdays get shifted by a day. It's happened a few times which means people have birthdays spanning 4 or 5 days now. Last time it happened about 20-30 birthdays and anniversary appointments appeared in my google calendar for today's date. No idea what is going on, but it's definitely shafted.

I think the only satisfactory answer will be for someone with official WM 6.5 and Manila 2.5 (any HD2 owner? ) to try it out and report the outcome.

I'll post this evening a thread in the Leo section. Hopefully someone is able to tell me if this strange behaviour also occurs on official Leo WM6.5 Manila 2.5 roms.
With NRGZ manila 2.5 roms all my birthdays where also messed up. So I switched to XannyTech rom 1.9b/2.0b and everything was fine. As far as I figured out the shifting problem with the birthday events, it seems that this behaviour has something to do with the timezone, which has not to be set on first boot on NRGZ roms.

Mail download problem with Manila 2.5 roms

Hi to all,
I am open a new thread about my problem with download emails in different Manila 2.5 roms then when I have written it inside the ROM discussion it was lost in the discussion and I never receive any answer.
In the past month I have tried different roms with Manila 2.5 and have every time the same problem. When I for example at the morning unlock the phone, I dont have in the manila mail program NO new emails, but in the next 2-3 minutes all emails incoming over the night are downloaded. This happens also when I dont use the phone for longer time and the security rule locks the phone automatically.
I am connected to the company exchange server with push mail, using POP3 and Imap mail accounts and have permanent data connection.
I like the 2.5 manila version for the better favorites contacts taps, mail preview and better calendar with week view.
My question to you all is if somebody have the same problems, existing a solution or a ROM without this problems?
Thanks !!!

Which E-Mail Protokoll do you use???
Imap, Pop3 or Exchance would be nice to know to track down your Problem!

Mail protocols
I use all of them.
POP3 for mu email account on the ISPprovider
IMAP for my gmail accounts
MS EXCHANGE for connection to the company exchange server to have synchronised all my work emails, contacts , task and appointments. Our company exchange server on the setup also setup a automatic security lock of the phone when he is not in use for some time.
On my obervation I found that when teh phone is locket the automatic mail download for all types of email protocols stops and all messages waiting on the servers are downloaded when the phone is again unlocked.
This is only on Manila 2.5 on 2.1 all mail accounts checked following the settings and messages downloaded correctly.
Best regards from prague
Kersten

ok, don't think that Manila2.5 is direktly the cause of your Problem! I think one of the LEO external Packages is causing this strange behavior...
The Problem is to track down which! I will try but it could be a while
