Dear all,
Is it possible to sync (or store) the Pocket outlook data on storage card? I can't find any setting about this; however is it possible for me to make it via any tweak (like registry modification)?
Let me explain why I need to do this. I understand that when device failed, I can always sync PIM to new PDA with outlook on notebook or desktop computers. However my secnario is that if I can store Pocket outlook (PIM) data on the storage card, I will not need my notebook or desktop. I can just put the storage card into a new PDA, and I can have all the info. I may leave notebook in home, but will carry PDA all the time. This is what I thought for this.
Thanks for reading this post and your kindly assist.

if it's the same type of device you can just use xbackup or spirite backup to backup and restore your data from the sd card
the thing about putting active programs and data on sd cards is they have a limited nr of writes they can do before they die
and most programs cant cope with their storage being removed run time
which you can do when it's on a sd card
sd cards are disabled when the device is off to save power
if you get a mail or sms when the device is off the sd is off too
Dear Rudegar,
Thanks for the reply. It looks like there is no way to store PIM in the storage card. I will try to test another solution, eg. to sync with Exchange server directly. The only issue to sync with Exchange is that it is not so easy to find wireless access point.

Hi all,
I have two E-Mail accounts set up on my Touch HD.
1) - Imap connection to GMAIL
2) - Sync connection to Nuevasync, through to Gmail for Cal and Contacts.
Now when I chose to manage folders in number 1, if I choose one of Google's default folders (All Mail, Spam etc) they sync correctly. If I choose folders created under the Inbox, although I have the option to check their check boxes, the E-Mails in them do not replicate onto my phone.
Is this a limitation with Gmail as in the Web GUI they are not shown as folders, but they do work fine in Thunderbird using an Imap Connection.
Many Thanks,
Paul.
I have the same problems. the subfolders emails are not mapped to my phone.
sorry for bringing up an old topic but I am having the same issue on my wizard have you by chance found a solution?
Thanks,
yonu
When I sync my s710 with my PC, the email messages are saved on the s710 memory instead of the memory card. Is there a way to change the standard settings where to save email including attachments?
Yes, there is a way:
Thanks that works great!
Maybe some of you folks can chime in here with some discussion on how to manage email.
I own a copy of FlexMail 4.11, but one of the things that has always frustrated me about the program is that it does not integrate with the OS such as being able to directly send a photo from the album via email, and as of this version, it doesn't rotate to landscape. There are other gripes I have, but there are also many upsides, such as the ability to store messages externally, backing up email account settings (for re-installation after ROM updates) and a number of other features that make it very nice.
But I have to say that the built-in mail and SMS utilities in WM have gotten much better and I'm very tempted to use them instead of FlexMail if I can figure out how to store the content on my flash card. I remember there was a registry hack (I think it was in Tweaks2k2 or PocketMechanic) which would manage the reg changes automatically.
Anyway, I'm wondering if any of you can share your thoughts on what options might be better that would be the 'best of both worlds'.
Thanks in advance!

I have never used FlexMail and can't give you any advice on that. BUT I want to point out that it is possible to backup your e-mail account with the WM native mail app as well!
If you just want to backup your account settings, you can do this via a xml file and use Sashimi to recreate your account after flashing (read more here). If you want to backup your account and all the e-mails you can use Microsoft MyPhone AFAIK. Not sure about that though...

Fair enough, though it gets me only half way there.
I found that PocketMechanic will relocate the message store, but it seems a bit kludgy to me, in that the 'today' plugin will force attachments to the internal store, when IMO they should also be on the external (storage card) location.
See the instructions here to see if you come up with the same conclusion with regard to the PocketMechanic solution:
http://www.wizcode.com/articles/comments/relocate-your-data-with-pocket-mechanic-professional/
Since I own a copy of PM (I'm one of those crazy guys that actually buys the software he uses to reward talented developers) it's no skin off my nose to experiment, but for the time and hassles it'll take until I figure it out. So I'm coming to you folks here for some discussion before I 'pull the trigger'.
So it looks like I'm faced with two choices, neither of which are entirely what I want. One gives me external store of all SMS and Email messages (FlexMail), but some functionality is disabled. The other gives me total integration with the OS (Outlook) but a kludgy and perhaps unreliable method for relocating and storing the data.
I'd be interested in hearing other thoughts, solutions or workarounds.
Anyone? Would really like to do one of two things:
1) Change default programs in WM to point to FlexMail so that I can send a photo via email directly from the camera application
or
2) Move storage for WM native email from internal memory to storage card.
If by Storage you mean only attachments than it's easy. You go to your inbox>options and then select the storage tab. You have the option to use astorage card to save attachments. If u don't mean that I'm afraid that I can't help u. Good luck.
I am using FlexMail and the built-in WM client. I've used them individually and side-by-side. FlexMail isn't too finger-friendly but it's OK and I prefer it. IMAP Idle support is useful to me. Using both clients gets around the problems that result because FlexMail doesn't support some of the HD2's features.
I have problems when I set either program to store information on a storage card. Eventually, something happens and I find I need to reset my e-mail accounts and start again. I think this is because the card isn't initialized in time for the mail programs to access it. It doesn't happen when I first start saving mail to a storage card but it always happens eventually. I now use internal memory but I'm very selective as to which messages I have on my HD2. For instance, I download headers initially and rarely keep more than a few days messages to hand. I use IMAP accounts so my mail is kept on my server if I do need something from, say, last year. I can search for older messages on the server without downloading anything; again, this saves space.

I'd be grateful to hear your thoughts on what you feel each is best at. I haven't used the internal WM mail client much, but I have used FM and have been happy with it. I tried using IMAP but found that there was really no benefit for me, in that I'd want local copies on my home machine anyway (no ISP is perfect) and I can't save a copy of sent items the way we can with Outlook and POP.
My question is that if I use 3rd party apps like FlexMail and PocketInformant, how do we get them to integrate to the HD2 shell (Sense) so that they launch rather than the corresponding WM utilities? This tangentially gets me back to the original question about how to email a photo directly from the camera via FlexMail.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
hi, i used flexmail for some time, a while ago. i stoped using it when i change to hd2.
the only thing i realy miss, is the possibility to put a mail that is stored in one imap account folder to a folders on a different imap account. i didnt mean forwarding, i mean moving it between folders of different accounts.
aside from that i dont miss a thing on flexmail, the programmers are not getting dizzy to mentoin that they are using only ms windows features and functions in the interface. and i belive them, because the programm gives the user a realy hard time to use it. and that is not only on hd2 the case.
after all i can say i have a good time with flexmail but i would not buy it again. not with this interface that give the user the feeling, he is 100 years back in time.
mad
Flexmail 4.11 allows to access (i.e. Send/Receive) : Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, my office emails, AOL IMAP, FastMail, emails through IMAP, emails through SSL, custom port, etc, SMS, etc.
i prefer Flexmail, its much much better.
I installed Flexmail in external Storage Memory. I was accessing multiple emails through it.
After ROM update, and re-installation of Flexmail, i can see all the previous emails and email accounts in the first opening window , but actual account settings inside the Menu > Accounts , all are missing !
Now it doesnt send/rcv anymore.
Is there a way to get the previous all email settings back ?

It sounds like unfortunately you didn't back up your individual email account settings from within FlexMail. You'll have to recreate them. I suggest after doing so that you save the files to your card, so that if you upgrade your ROM again you can restore the email accounts easily.
What really surprises me is that there doesn't seem to be any significant Touch friendly Mail application out there.
Is there anything above and beyond Flexmail ?
hi everybody,is this possible? after i sync all my accounts from google i found my old sim card with a lot of losted numbers then i just copy/import all that numbers from sim to phone memory and there are all together now but when i sync that new contact does not appear when i log on to my gmail account on computer

Go to setting, accounts and sync. Manually sync contact by toggling the check mark off and on again.

What rom are you using? Some roms gives you the ability you save your contacts to your sd card (vcf format I think) once you do that. Go to your contacts from your email, click on more and it should give you the option of importing contacts from file, choose your vcf file saved on your sd card and it will add your new numbers to your list
