Send calendar invites via IMAP not activesync

Hi
I don't know if its possible by I need to send calendar invites via IMAP as I never use activesync (I sync via SyncML with our server for contact/tasks/calendar).
All calendar invites are always put in the activesync outbox. Is there anyway to re-direct them to the IMAP account I have set up? Is there another mail application I should be using?
Thanks
Jonathan

Am i mistaken assuming that calendar invites are sent thru mail using the first connection your device can find?
Aren't calendar invites regular emails with different scripts?

They always seem to end up in the outlook email outbox - even though this is the third mailbox in the list.

i tried it myself and apparently there isn't even an option to move it to another account.. only accepts the outlook account itself. maybe WM doesn't support sending invites to attendees thru anything other than AS...
I suggest you change the thread's topic to [REQ] Mail Invite Attendees...
or something of that sort.. I'm almost positive someone would answer.

Calendar > Menu (right Softkey) > Tools > Options > Appointments (Tab) Send Meeting request via:
select your email account

stupid me. didn't think to check there.
lol
good thinkin

thats strange! oO

Fantastic - its so easy when you know where to look.
Thanks very much

Ok, so invites now go from my IMAP account fine but the details are being messed up somewhere.
I created an appointment for today 12:00 - 13:00 and sent the invitation to my wife who is using XP, Office 2003 SP3. When she got it it said the meeting was 10:30-10:30.
Both my HTC Touch HD and wife's PC are set to GMT and regionally to UK
I'm confused. What have I not got set right?

I don't know if this problem still exists, but there used to be a problem with outlook in which if the outlook time settings didn't match the pc's time settings it made all appointments change.
go to outlook and search for the time settings.. check that it's not syncing your appointments with a server or something.

[Q] Android calendar app that let's me set reminder alarm time?

I've tried a lot of calendar apps from the market, but I can't find any calendar that let's me set reminders the way I want them.
Example: to be on time for a meeting at 9.15 I have to wake up at 7.45, so I want to set a reminder alarm to wake me up 1,5 hours before the meeting.
In my old Symbian calendar I'd simply set the meeting at 9.15 and the alarm at 7.45.
But in Android's calendar I can't enter the reminder time. It only let's me choose between 1 hour before (too late) or 2 hours before (too early).
This seems to be a Google calendar problem. And therefore a general Android calendar problem, because most calendar apps are just frontends for Google's calendar.
This picture summarizes the problem:

}
Question: is there a calendar app for Android that let's me set an alarm reminder time, so that I can my my calendar ring 1.5 hours before the appointment? Or 1 hour and 15 minutes, or 5h45 min., or whatever time I want instead of being stuck with the inadequate reminder time options of Android's built-in calendar?
Of course I'd also like a widget to show my calendar entries on my home screen. And if the calendar comes with a built-in tasks/to-do list and birthday reminders that would be cool too, but not absolutely required. Syncing is optional, an offline calendar is OK too.

CalenGoo lets me set a reminder with a custom number of minutes. Zero, 75, or 666 minutes, anything goes.
That's small step in the right direction. But only a small one.
Because entering a reminder in CalenGo only works with an annoying scrolling list. There's no method to punch in a reminder time, so if you want a reminder at 8 am for a meeting at 3.45 pm you have to scroll all the way down to 465 minutes. And before you can do that, you have to do the maths yourself, because CalenGoo refuses to calculate that 3.45 pm - 8 am = 465 minutes.
I simply want to type "8.00 am" in the box and let the phone do the maths for me. Any non-Android phone can do that straight out of the box. Is there any Android calendar app that can do the same thing?

[Q] [request] Calendar with flexible time entry?

Each and every Android calendar app I tried has the same problem, which is summarized in this picture:

The problem: I can't find any calendar that let's me set reminders the way I want them.

The only app that lets you set a custom reminder time is Pocket Informant. Unfortunately Pocket Informant is an unfinished product, and the betas expire soon after you install them.
What makes the limited number of reminder options in all the calendar apps totally ridiculous is that you can set the exact number of minutes in google's online calendar. Zero minutes, 4 hours, 666 minutes, the calendar on google.com/calendar lets you enter anything you like.
Therefore each and every calendar app based on google could have an option to set a custom number of minutes/hours (like pocket informant). Moreover, all these apps could also offer time entry the symbian way. They only need to calculate the number of minutes between the time you enter and the start time of the appointment so that you don't have to do the maths yourself.
So the problem is not google's calendar. The programs that interact with google's calendar are just incomplete. A few extra lines of code would do the job.
Is there anyone who could make a calendar (or modify one of the existing calendar apps) that will let you set any number of minutes in the reminder field? Even better: just enter a time (like 7.45) and let the app do the maths for you (i.e. 9.00 minus 7.45 is 75 minutes).

When I scroll all the way down for a reminder there is an option for "custom". Maybe this is just for my phone, the Samsung Intercept. I remember reading something somewhere that the calendar they used was modified a bit but I'm not completely sure.

Could you post a copy the .apk of your samsung calendar? Maybe it will work on my Motorola too? Thanx!

I miss that feature so much too!
I've browsed AppBrain site to find something but found absolutely nothing.
This is not the solution but if you have a really important event for which you need a reminder you could add the event as a Task in Gtask. It allows to schedule customized reminders.

Thanks for all of you!!

Sounds like a great app. Will try it out

Feature Suggestion
Wow, I think this app will turn out to be incredibly useful for me.
Just a quick feature suggestion:
Add an option that will only let the callers on the whitelist through if they call twice within a certain amount of time.
Here is an example of how that would be useful to me:
Without the requested feature: My father works early in the morning, he calls me around 5am to see if my wife and I can do dinner on Friday night. Because my father is on my whitelist, his call will get right through and wake me up, despite it not being an emergency.
With the requested feature: My father works early in the morning, he calls me around 5am to see if my wife and I can do dinner on Friday night. Because my father is on my whitelist AND I have enabled the 2 call option, his call simply goes to voicemail like normal.
If it's an emergency, my father will know to call twice within 10minutes (or whatever interval I select), at which point, I will be awakened by his second call.
This would be priceless for me (and many others I think). I've been really hoping someone could make an app like this. Oh and I'd be happy to beta test if you need a tester.

hahaha i want to say thank you for the app even i havent tried it yet
its just that i read this thread in the morning and it made my day
very humorous way to introduce an app
haha thanks, might try it later

New Gmail Leaked Screenshots - Features Show A New UI, Pinned And Snoozed Messages

SOURCE : Kickedface
Email is one of those things that you either see as a necessary evil that consumes more of your day than it needs to, or it’s something you ignore completely until you absolutely have to use it. Anyone who says they actually enjoy using email is probably suffering from a digital variant of Stockholm Syndrome, but over the last year there have been several apps that have made the experience a lot more bearable. Gmail is high up on that list. Now it looks like Google is exploring ways to make email something people actually want to use.

At first glance it looks a lot like Gmail as you know it now, but with a few key differences that radically change how the email client is used. For starters, there are a lot more tabs to separate all of your email into. Currently the groups are Social, Promotions, Forums, and Updates. This version of Gmail includes Travel, Purchases, and Finance to the mix, with the same basic properties that the existing five tabs currently have, In your primary Inbox, you’ll see these grouped both in the side menu and at the top of your inbox if there are new messages for those categories.
There’s also a new Pinned feature, which functions exactly as you’d expect.
You can pin an email if you want it to stay floating at the top of your Inbox, and there’s a toggle switch for when you want to see your pinned emails and when you want those messages to go back to their original point in the Inbox. This looks like it would be a great deal more useful than the current star system, which doesn’t appear in this UI at all.
Your emails can also be Snoozed in this new UI. Snoozing an email means it appears as read until the timer goes off, when it will then float to the top of your Inbox as an unread email. You can choose to snooze an email for a couple of hours or several weeks depending on your need, and you can snooze messages over and over again if you choose to.
This is not very likely a final version of Gmail. These shots are the result of Google trying out new features to see what will work for Gmail before making them available to the public. It’s pretty clear that Google’s goal with each of these features is to make email something you can better organize and manipulate to serve your needs, which in turn gives them a better idea of what information you think is important for Google Now and other services. Hopefully we get to see more than a couple of these features in the real world soon.

it seems to be true but so far I hate it, I'm just glad it will work perfectly with tinted statusbar
