Hi
The O2 Active rubbish that comes on the XDA IIs allows you to go straigh to your pop3 inbox via a link in its menu. When I use the hardware email button on the front, it starts up inbox, but it aint my pop3 inbox its the default outlook inbox.
Is there any way of assigning custom actions to a hardware button? Such that pressing the email button pulls up pocket outlook pointing at my pop3 inbox??
Also, whats the best registry editor prog for windows mobile 2003 devices?

But was hoping not to have to write a bl00dy launcher just to get it to point at my inbox!

Sorted for anyone who is interested
Hi
Sorted this. For anyone whos interested:
Use activesync to copy the file \Windows\AppButtons\Messaging.lnk to your PC. Edit the file with notepad. You could also edit it on the device, but I prefer a decent keyboard!!
The Messaging.lnk file will read something like:
19#"\Windows\tmail.exe"
Change it to read something like
19#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "ServiceName"
The number on the front (in my case #19) should be kept the same as it is currently on your device.
ServiceName could be: Text, MMS, MyPopAcc, blah blah.
There are a load of parameters for tmail.exe by the looks of it. One site that claimed to list them was down/dead.
Save the modified file and copy it back to your device. Now when you hit the 'email' hardware button you'll get the service you mentioned as a default.
You can also stick -attatch on the end i.e:
19#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "ServiceName" - attatch
But I found that this did nothing with email. Maybe with MMS etc.
If anyone knows any of the other commands for tmail, pls post!?

If, after changing the file in App Buttons it still launches the messaging pointing at the wrong folder, do the following:
Close the messaging app (completely) from settings --> system --> memory --> Running Programs.
Then goto Settings --> Personal --> Buttons, and change button 4 from messaging to some other program. Tap OK, use the messaging button to start that other program, quit said program, go back into Buttons, and change button 4 back to messaging. Try to launch messaging.
It must cache the old info somehow.

i believe you'll find the short cuts is set in the registry and doesn't use the program thats selected on the buttons controle pannel item
Nope, it definately uses the stuff in appbuttons! Perhaps these get read and copied to the registry, dunno, but changing the prog in the appbutton shortcut changes what gets launchen when you hit the hardware button.

And, if you want to delete the entire crappy outlook/activesync account try removing the appropriate folder (dunno what it's called now, lol) from:
LOCAL MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Inbox/Svc/
edit - Incidentally, the new i-mate ROM always starts the messaging client in the 'last viewed' account anyway.
Chris.
LOCAL MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Inbox/Svc/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Dont trash the outlook key in here. If you do then you will indeed, loose 'outlook' folder in the inbox app (good!), but as a side effect, sms notify will also stop working (unit will not make noise and display part of message when sms received) (bad!)

19#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "Text"
Worked first time for me - takes me straight to my SMS inbox
Cheers!!!!!
Hi,
I've searched the forum and can't find an answer to my problem.
I've set up 2 pop emails (corp pop & gmail) and both work in sending & receiving mail.
Now I want to edit the settings such as signature, max download size, download frequency, etc but can't find it anywhere.
I set up the accounts through touchflo/mail/menu/accounts/new account.
I have gone to messaging/menu but there is no "option" field anywhere.
I went to touchflo/mail/menu/accounts/accounts but this just takes me to messaging
I went to the email settings of Activesync but it doesn't show the individual email settings.
I also want to delete a 3rd mail account that I don't want there.
I am using:
EnergyRom Genesis 09.06.09
Please help! TIA!
You need to go to Tools---->Options to change the settings. Do it with the microsoft email application, not the TF3D one (I haven't used tf3d in a long time, so I'm not sure how to use it).
Thanks for your reply.
However, when I go to messaging, there is no "tools" field.
All I have is:

TRY THIS:
PROGRAMS > MESSAGING > MENU > OPTIONS
Then you will get tabs which show 'Accounts' 'Message' 'Address' 'Storage'
This is all I see when i tap "menu" in messaging (not touchflo)

Scrolling down doesn't bring up more options?
none. there is no scroll bar so I suppose there are no other fields. it's really weird that tits not there
I took out the battery for more than 2 minutes and this seemed to have done the trick!
Thanks all for the help.
Is there no way to do this? Often I want to select text from one email to copy into another, or want to significantly edit a forwarded email thread. I tap away an nothing comes up to allow me to select text - unlike with documents.
IGNORE - found it, but it is cranky
I'm using the inbox zero scheme, which requires me to be able to quickly move inbox items into a "to do" folder or an archive folder. Unfortunately, this requires multiple clicks with the native Android email client.
I'm looking for a client which allows using simple gestures (e.g. swiping a message left or right) in order to move a message to a predefined folder. Also a designated button inside a message window will do. Oh, and it has to support Exchange.
The many clients I tested only allow deletion by swiping.
Any suggestions will be welcomed.
When I delete an email, I go back to the email list. I would rather have it open the next email.
I could not find the setting for this. Anyone know where it is?
THANKS
Can't say for email, but for gmail the setting is in the app. Open gmail, tap the "bars" in the upper left corner. Scroll down to settings then tap general settings and down to auto-advance. You have the choice of newer, older and conversation list.
