any today plugin working with thumbcal?

hello,
i'm using thumbcal atm.. this is truely a great program. only weakness is that thumbcal doesn't have any today plug-in by itself, so i've been looking for a today plug-in that displays tasks and appointments.
i've tried todayagenda, calendar+, tasksplus, quicktask, quickagenda and many other programs, and the result i got is : they are linked to OUTLOOK, not Thumbcal even though i made Thumbcal default PIM program.
however default task and appointments plugin that is included in windows mobile works well with thumbcal(not calling outlook but thumbcal to add/edit materials).
yeah, so i can use default plug-ins. they're free and clean and simple. only problem is, I can't find a way to integrate to my UL or HomeScreen/Batterystatus++.
is there any help i can get? i'm looking for some kinda third party plugin that uses thumbcal to edit/add materials, or any method to integrate default appointments/tasks plugin to UL/HS++
thanks

Birthday's and Anniversaries

I've searched here and there, far and wide until the search button wore off my screen.
I have a Sprint Touch Pro running WM6.1 and Touchflo 3D.
I'm looking for an application that will scan my contacts for birthday's and anniversaries and export them to my calendar on the correct date for the current and/or upcoming year(s).
I've found several apps that are standalone or Today plug-ins, but I don't want the additional overhead of running unnecessary applications taking up memory.
Anyone know or have such an app?

I am wondering if you have explored the contacts page on your WM 6.1 .
If you would, you should see that you are able to set birthday's and anniversaries. So WM 6.1 will update the calender.exe to show that it's a recurring event.
And if you synch with the desktop, it should show on your outlook too.
At least, this is happening for me.

Thanks for your input. I'm aware that if I sync my phone through activesync with Outlook that it will put my birthdays and anniversaries in the calendar in Outlook and on my phone, but I don't own a copy of Outlook and have no desire. I rarely connect my phone to any PC except for the occasional file transfer or software install.

thnks
ill be using that

Default email account/SPB Mobile Shell?

So in the SPB Mobile Shell there is an icon at the top for email. When I click on it, it opens "Outlook Email" for some reason. I then have to hit the D Pad over to "Hotmail."
How can I make it automatically open to Hotmail? I don't even use Outlook email (don't even use Outlook at all on the pc). I have Windows Live installed, which puts a Hotmail account in Pocket Outlook, and that is the only email account I have on my phone. The "Outlook Email" that it is opening up to is empty.
This is on an AT&T Tilt running NATF AT&T loaded 5 final ROM.
HTC Home appears to open the Hotmail when I hit the email icon, so it appears this is just an issue in SPB Mobile Shell...

i wanna know the same thing, but for spbmobile 3

Yes, here same thing... searched entire PDA... is this possible?

yes...i'm having the same problem in v3. TouchFlo seemed to default to the email box properly but spb doesn't...anyone figure this out?

Same problem here,
Is there a possible edit so it opens the right default email client?I use hotmail too.

*bump
I'm having the same problem, has anyone found a solution to this yet?

Try removing the email widget and then create a new one. It asks you what account you want it to monitor. If you are using the widget that shows email, sms and missed calls together, you will need to replace this with the 3 individual widgets.

I'm not sure if this has been solved or not but I was having same problem on 3.5.5 when trying to view my gmail. Playing around I find the widget itself has a setting to "Open messaging client" or "Open 3D viewer" I chose the 3d viewer and Viola.
How I got to this was basically getting into the widget settings, usually by just holding down on the widget icon and choosing "Default Action"
I hope this helps some people. Not sure how this would work with earlier versions though. I assume it would be the same. SPB Shell is still very much the same in a lot of ways.

Next question is how to manually tell SPB to receive emails from the server.

delete email account

I recently updated my ROM with HTC's latest from June I believe (I just got my Fuze last month...2 pennies at Amazon.com, woohoo)...I used Sprite backup to restore my personal data and my old Yahoo account is coming up on the Touchflo emailtab, and under the messaging section for the today screen when Touchflo is off. I can't find the account under the messaging list of accounts to delete it. I tried setting up four different accounts to see if it would bump that one out, but that did not work. In fact all that did was cause Touchflo and the today screen to not display the account names for the other accounts I set up...including the main Yahoo one. It is annoying having two yahoo accounts, same address, listed under both Touchflo and the today screen. Should I just get a different messaging client, I kind of like the one provided with the Fuze, even though I don't use Outlook...It works fine for SMS and my internet based accounts. I'm sure there is a way to get rid of it. Any help is greatly appreciated as I am new to Windows Mobile.

Looking for a Calendar plugin for Today Screen that works on WM6.5

SPB Diary is no longer being developed and Pocketbreeze crashes after about 5 minutes of using it. I tried alarmtoday but and its close but doesnt have all the features of a real Calendar today screen plugin.
So basically I need something that can show all my appointments and tasks for the day on a screen when I turn it on and there is currently no real solution that I know of.
So what are some of you guys using? Anyone know of any calendar plugin that works with wm6.5?

Calendar Touch should work as integrates via PIM so will show in normal Calendar interface also has a nice usable gui.

Today's Aganda this is free and works GREAT. very configurable also in appearance.
need to google search
TodayAgenda_PPC as linking fails for me.
pulls in bdays from contacts also, freeing them from your "calendar".
