Qmail questions: lock and html rendering

I am trying out qmail for a variety of reasons.
One thing I am finding frustrating is that qmail issues a lock in the folder where mail is stored. If I soft reset, the lock persists because I have the mail stored on the miniSD card, but this means I get the question "WM_user has locked the file, do you want to continue?" Answering yes clears it but since I want the program to run automatically at start up, I would like to eliminate the query. Is there a way to prevent the locking or, if not, to prevent the question?
Second, I went to the trouble to install a bunch of RSS feeds, none of which render properly. The nature of the problem is that html commands aren't being rendered, even with "html mode" checked. I tried a bunch of different settings (quote mode, raw mode, etc.) but none of them led to proper rendering. Clearly others using the program aren't having this trouble; can you point me in the direction that would let me see these feeds? I like the idea of a single program doing mail and RSS, all from the SD card.

I've been using qmail for a while now, and I've found the locked file problem is caused when qmail is running and your PPC is turned off. qmail doesn't seem to handle this very well, but if you shut qmail down before turning your PPC off you don't get the locked file issue.
As to the rendering html rss feeds, I've found this happens only when you are online and try and view the feed. If you are offline you just get a blank page, but if you turn the html view off you get the raw view of the feed.
Not a perfect program, but a whole lot better than the built in one.

Automate deletion?
Azol (http://www.azol.ru/texts/QMail3_eng_FAQ.htm) has a means of automating the checking of mail, and of semi-automatically deleting messages from the server when they are deleted from Inbox. I would like to automate this process -- adding a command to apply the rules using autopilot. Does anyone know how to do this?
Also, has anyone figured out how to put the number new messages Qmail has found on the Today screen? That isn't so important to me -- I'm planning on using Qmail for travel rather than as my regular service -- but it would help make it a complete replacement.
Finally, Qmail doesn't work one-handed very well; it would be nice if some of the Dpad keys did useful things.

You may want to use for example nScriptm to start Qmail: instead of just starting Qmail via a lnk file, just delete the lock file from a nScriptm script and, then, Shell () Qmail. Please see for example my latest screenshot-related article for more info on nScriptm.

Or Skschema
Thanks. I figured out how to do this with skschema, as in order to run qmail automatically from the minisd card, I need to delay launching; programs in Windows/Startup start up before the miniSD is available (I even tried a faster card to see if this would fix it, but it didn't) and hence don't start and generate errors. I use skschema to start qmail, and also to start phmtraylaunch since the icons from the minisd card aren't available, either, at the time it starts.

Yup, SKSchema / nScriptm is also a great tool to do this. With earlier PMRecorder versions, I did need to use it (see for example http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=513&c=1&page=1&more=1&tb=1&pb=1 if interested) to avoid the \Storage Card2 problem

Qmail is perfect for me, with one exception. When I hit reply, the original message fills the page. I just want a clean screen to type my reply, and I don't want to include the original. This program does practically everything but this. Any ideas?
Thanks

This can indeed not be got rid of.
You can, however, just tap and hold the screen, choose Select All and, then, just click Delete on the Keyboard SIP to get rid of eveyrthing.

Thanks, I was afraid that was the only solution.

qmail questions
I'm having a huge problem sending email with qmail. One thing that would help is if I understood all the settings in the program, which are different from anything else I have ever seen, probably due to it being translated from Japanese.In tool/account/general, I understand that host information refers to the incoming and outgoing servers, but what is to be put in "user information". Is "address" an email address? "User" tab seems simple enough, as I use authentication and just enter the same in "outgoing" as in "incoming". "Detail" is simple enough. "Pop3" as well, though I don't know what apop is. "SMTP" tab; what do I do here? I don't think I am using a local host. "Dialup" is ok. In "advanced" I read on this forum that my email address should go in "identity". Is this right? If so, would this be the address of the account I receive email with or of the account I send with(if they were different)? I have a comcast account on cingular service. The messaging program can receive and send email using mail.comcast.net and smtp.comcast.net with authentication and no ssl, but qmail can't. Two months ago it could, but now it cannot. Now I"m going to try using a hotpop account to send, but I'm not real confident this will work, since I'm not sure h ow to configure qmail. Any help would be apprecited, Meinnesyss or anyone else.

Here, you only need to enter the info that will be displayed as a sender name / address. In most cases, you can enter here anything.

Have these WM6 issues been resolved?

There's been a few problems that some people have mentioned, but have either been lost among all the unlocking/upgrading questions or just not followed up for whatever reason. These are some of the issues I had with older versions of wm6 that I tried, which made me go to a wm5 3.3 to get rid of.
1) Auto-fill of names in messaging when typing in the "to" field doesn't happen
2) Windows Live messenger only connecting over GPRS even when wi-fi is enabled
3) I think it's what it's supposed to do, but it's annoying - is there a way to stop Windows Live adding all your contacts to your phone? I don't use my Wizard for e-mails or anything very often, so this is pretty useless, and just fills up my contacts list and then it takes longer to find the people I want to call
4) In the messaging application, the left softkey in wm6 is used for Delete, and to create a new message you have to go into the menu and then select New, whereas wm5 just had New on the left softkey (I'd rather not use 3rd party software to do this, if there is any that can!)
Can't think of any more right now, but feel free to add your own!
Anyone who's got Faria's new wm6 ROM, could you please comment on whether you have encountered any of these issues or if anything has been changed in relation to these?
Thanks,
Myk

Can't speak for much, but from the websites I've seen detailing WM6, #4 is actually a code change to the Messaging app. MS' research indicated more people wanted a Delete button than a New button and they made the switch. I don't know if it's something that can be changed through the registry or not, but it is native to WM6.

When you setup Widnows Live, uncheck the option to import contacts and it doesn't import them. At least thats what works for me.
If it is already configured, open windows live and go into options. choose sync options and uncheck contacts and messenger.

it is the way M$ designed it...they claim it helps battery life...it could not possibly be to make more money off of people by making them use GPRS
I turn off my phone sometime to make it connect via WiFi but faria said in his aku 3.3 ROM he pacaged it so it did not do it...I am trying to find out how to take windows live out of there and install it on WM6?!? but i don't know how I would go about that so if anyone could help please let me know...thanks for reading

Windows Live
Cancelling the GPRS connection before it's complete makes Windows Live switch to Wi-fi anyway, so I don't get why it even tries GPRS first and doesn't just go off wi-fi. Maybe there's a setting somewhere, like when you boot your PC and it goes through the various boot-up devices in order until it finds one that works.
Anyway, my problem with Live contacts being added to the phone contacts... I tried signing in to Windows Live, and going in the options and de-selecting "Synch contacts" as suggested. The problem is, when I try and sign in to Live Messenger, it comes up with a dialog box saying "signing in will add your contacts to your phone" or something, which is exactly the same as before.
Messenger is the only bit of Live (apart from e-mail, I guess) which I'm actually interested in at the minute, but I can't use it because I don't want all the contacts from my messenger account in my phonebook!

Facebook integration glitches

Hi. Running:
Touch HD, Miri's wm6.5 manila 2.5 rev 7.1 ROM
with HTC's Facebook integration, which I've just started playing with. It seems that you have to open up facebook in the background for integration to work, it's limited to 330 friends' profiles (seemingly chosen randomly), it didn't want to attach profiles unless you link to facebook profile then click the picture and have it downloaded from facebook profile (otherwise it discards the fb linkage when you save and exit out).
[edit: just noticed that people are dropping out of my available links list - one friend was there & linked, link was dropped and now they're not there & i only have 329 links available to select from. Where does it get this list from?!]
[edit2: curiouser & curiouser! i updated, and the friend above was linked again. i clicked on the picture and said 'update from facebook' (generic image next to option, not his personal), then okayed it, and the link's broken!! If I cancel it then, it's repaired. WTF?!]
[edit3: added a friend's proper surname in my contacts on outlook, was synced to mobile, updated on mob, facebook saw the names matched up & offered the link, i accepted, and it took about a minute to go through. maybe the problem is the extremely sluggish connection? seems like it should be a background process...]
Anyone know any workarounds or even experience the same thing?

Windows Mobile 6.5 Imap Folders

I was doing some googling and this is as good a place as any to find users who have a clue.. so Im wondering if anyone has had this problem or a workaround.
I have a SE X1 (winmo 6.1) I configured my imap mail perfectly, but the only folders my device download from is the Inbox. I have other folders that I use to sort mail into (via mail rules on my desktop).. which are not downloading mail at all. I can see them listed, but they all show empty.
I was hoping this would be fixed in winmo 6.5, so I upgraded my X1 to 6.5 and the problem still exists. Has anyone else managed a workaround to synce other folders.. to clarify in the diagram below .. is an example of my structure .. in the example I am not getting mail in my client 1 or client 2 folder
Imap - Inbox
- Sent
- Client 1
- Client 2
- etc...
I hope that makes sense

Hi
I've got the same problem. If anyone has an answer...
Furthermore, the folders of my pocket outlook, like "sent messages" are created in my web mail account (like yahoo), because the name of theses folders (sent, trash...) are not the same.

UP!
I also have the same issue...
May be somebody can give an alternative?

Sync other folder
You can sync any folder you wish by selecting it as a managed folder. To do so follow these steps.
1. Open your mail box.
2. Click the options button and select Tools
3. Select Managed folders
4. Select each folder you wish to sync then click ok
The next time you send and receive mail the folder will be synchronized.
I had this same problem and just recently discovered this solution. In my case I would send a message from my Yahoo email account and although it would tell me it was sent, I would have no verification after the fact. It was not listed on my device in the sent folder nor was it listed via the website in the sent folder. I had to send a test to another one of my email accounts to verify the send funciton was actually working.
PLEASE NOTE: You should make sure your sent folder is fairly clean before syncing. I did not clean it first and it had to sync over 300 messages from that one folder.

I have tried this, but it appears that only allows the sync via activesync and not via the normal internet connection (ie when you are not connected to your pc) .. am I missing something ?

This is the way to do it on Win MO 6.1 - I have this set up on Blackstone.
Unfortunately on HD2 (6.5) I can not find Tools and manage folders choice.
Anybody knows where it is hidden?
FOUND IT!
Before someone else spends hours looking - Disable Sense, go to win standard GUI - all settings are there. Same thing with repeat sound in alarm.... GUI is hiding settings!!!!
Why HTC thinks they know what I want to see and adjust?
Often I do not want it the way I want it!!!!

I think you'll find that the option is there, it's just not immediately obvious that one needs to scroll down.
From your home tab, do the following:
Email tab
Inbox (left soft key)
Menu
At this stage it APPEARS that 'Go to >' is the last menu item. It actually isn't. If you scroll down you will reveal 'Tools' 'Select Messages' and 'Send via Bluetooth' .
'Manage folders' is in the 'Tools' sub menu.
No need to disable Sense.

Cannot download messages from server over IMAP
Hello,
I would like to ask you for some help because I cannot find a solution to my problem and I really appreciate your expertise.
So, here is the problem:
Facts.
I have 2 email accounts:
- the main business account running on a IceWarp Merak 9.x server
- a personal account running on Gmail server.
Problem.
If I receive on both addresses (servers) the same html e-mail witch contains formatted text and pictures, then using the native e-mail messaging client of my Windows Mobile 6.5 HTC smartphone, here is what I get:
- on the main business account the message cannot be seen. What I see from the message is only BODY.PEEK[2]
- on the Gmail account I can see the full message, exactly as I can see it on my desktop.
I played with all the settings from „Message download limit” and „Download attachments„ for the main business account, in order to get it working. Here is what I found:
- any settings for „Download attachments„ does not change the behavior, the result is the same (BODY.PEEK[2])
- for „Message download limit” if I choose „Headers only”, download headers and then mark the message for download it is working. But this means that I should connect twice – more bandwidth and more time spent until get the messages. If I choose any other option except the above mentioned, I get the bad result BODY.PEEK[2]...
This problem is very annoying because I cannot read my business mails if I'm out of the office.
What do you think?
It is a server problem (IceWarp Merak 9.x)?
Or the native messaging client from Windows Mobile 6.5?
Can you help me to solve this problem?
Looking forward for your reply,
Best regards,
Stefan

Synchronize call log with Outlook Journal

Hi all,
I have searched for this application for a long time and tried whole bunch of them, but I am still looking for SOLID, SIMPLE, and STRAIGHTFORWARD application to save Call log entries into Outlook Journal.
My setup:
Windows 7 32-bit
Outlook 2007 SP2
HD2 with latest T-Mo ROM and Cookie Home Tab installed.
Applications I tried:
Maniac's SmartJournal - so far the best solution and worked flawlessly on the XP. Since I switched to Windows 7 it shows that the SmartJournal reads from the device, the notification disappears and nothing happens. Maniac's website is down, so I cannot find out what is going on.
Pocket Informant Outlook Extension - since it is now free as Informant stopped supporting Windows Mobile, I tried it, it seems that it works and does some synchronizing according to the log, but no entry shows up the Journal.
Jeyo Outlook Extension - they used to support Outlook Journal in their version for Symbian, but in their Windows Mobile they only synchronize SMS.
MobiTNT - I tried that software as well, but I am not able to enable the software on the computer.
I know that there is also some app for syncing call log into calendar but it seems way too akward.
I know that there are many threads about this all over the Xda, but they seem to be old for one and do not end up with comprehensive solution afterall.
I would like to this post to become comprehensive and one stop solution for somebody who is looking for the solution like me.
Any ideas are welcome.

Nobody? Really? Really?

I Feel your pain
I used to use Calls to Journal from Chapura with my windows handheld. Strangely it is now discontinued.
It was slick, and perfect. Dumped all calls to Outlook journal and tagged the outlook contacts (so that they showed up in activites). Was perfect in my business when someone denied that you called them.
I can't find anything that compares. Not even close. The other ones like "missing sync" try to do too much and do not include this very simple functionality.
Have you had any luck?

Well, I finally managed to make the Maniac's Smartjournal work and it works great. It transfers the calls into Journal and tags for the known Contacts so it shows in Activities.
If you would like to try it, I have the .exe files since the website is no longer active. The files are really small and the program is no memory hog by any means. I tried Jeyo and it just crashes Outlook.
Let me know.

Another one
I wish i could be more helpful but there is one applicatoin which i have used in the past but have since forgotten the name whichvery simply adds an appointment into outlook which lasts for the duration of the call, with the title of whoever the conversation was with.
this might be the one i was thinking of. I'm gonna check it now.

post the files please & details you have on them & any special instructions on getting it working.
One of the biggest mistakes MS made was not having WM & its PC software linking together with complete harmony & user control.
Really are a clueless bunch at redmond HQ ...

I am attaching the rar file. There are two files. One is SmartJournal.exe and the other is SmartJournal Beta.exe Try first the SmartJournal.exe run as admin and compatibility with XP SP2. Sometimes it shows the error that the CallLog.csv cannot be dumped. If that is the case, uninstall the SmartJournal and install the Beta (again as administrator and compatibility mode XP SP2). Maniac had a great forum unfortunatelly that website is no longer active.
Let me know if you have any trouble.

Take 2
I just realised my previous post was totally useless since I never included the link. I've been using Call Calendar for the past few days which works really well, recording the time, duration, who the call was with and who called who silently into outlook, which will then obviously sync over activesync or exchange. you can get it here:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-call-calendar.html
then again while searching for that link i found this program, Phonelog- it's newer and seems to have additional features like recording incoming SMS. I think you can customise what is recorded too, it might be worth a shot:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-phonelog.html
I've never used Outlook journal, so I don't know how much functionality you lose as a result of these being purely appointments. Hope it oculd be useful though.

Thanks for the post and link. I prefere not to use the calendar for syncing, because than the entries eat up the screen when I view my calendar appointments. Also, I always felt siunce the Journal has a Phone log category it is more obvious to use it rather than calendar. Also, I make LOT of calls on given days and then my calendar looks like mess between the actual appointments and the phone call. Also, I checked the review section on freeware.com and lot of people complain about the SMS not working (which would be the only feature why I would consider this software). But great addition to the post and thanks for the links.

You can try MobileArchiver (mobilearchiving.com) - for me works perfectly and puts all call history in journal every sync.

If the call history is full, I mean 300 items, there is a great chance that the PC app tries to read the calllogdump.csv on the pda while it is already accessed by the pda (it is written) and therefore paralell reading fails.
Solution: backup call log, and after that, delete some 50-100 entries manually. Sync works then nicely...
Regards, G.

Another possible solution is to run Smartjournal.exe on pc, it copies the dump exe to Device\Temp, and runs, and this creates the csv. Navigate to this folder (My Device\Temp) and make the csv read only.
Running the pc side returns an error on the PDA, but the log will be read and data transferred.
Now remove read only from csv, move to pc, leave only the last entry, delete all the rest, save, move back to PDA.
Run pc side, all should be good now. You will have a lastsync.txt created in the PC folder of Smartsync. Sync finished.
Update:
--------------------------------------
Mobitnt PocketExport does the job for some days, no errors, I think I keep using this app
