I was writing an email using Pocket Outlook and wanted to attach a file but there seems to be no way to navigate to the file using Pocket Outlook. All it offers are folders. It doesn't seem to allow me to navigate to subfolders.
Is there a way to make this possible or has it been overlooked?
The weird thing is that attaching images allows me to navigate the subfolders. It is just attaching normal files where navigating subfolders is disallowed. Really strange descision.
I usually use resco explorer, select the file and select send via mms/email, it's easier, faster.
There's also a replacement for the default (ridiculous)file picker, you may try to look for that.

I was looking for a replacement, but couldn't find it.
Using resco explorer, is it possible to sende multiple files attached in 1 email?
I tried selecting multiples files and then send via mms/email but nothing happened, but resco has built-in support for compressing files, so, just compress them and send the archive.

Is it possible to create folders in the programs menu? like NATF has done? or as you would have on your PC - for e.g. Media, Internet, Tools etc etc?
many thanks
Yes you can, using a file explorer program (Resco, Total Commander, etc) navigate to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and create away!
nice! cheers buddy
ok got resco, but how do i move files etc into created folders?
anyoen able to kindly give me an example of how this works please?
Hold your stylus on the file name. This will pop up another menu, including Copy, Move, etc.
I ran the ClearTemp software and it deleted the .lnk file or whatever it's called for my Outlook Contacts icon. So, I can no longer get into my Outlook Contacts. The icon for Outlook Contacts is gone both in the programs and the Start Menu. How do I get the file back, or create a new file? Where are these files located on the phone? They don't show file extenstions with File Explorer, so it makes it really hard to find anything. I can't even find a search feature to search for files. Thank you for your help and time.
If you did this, it's easy to find this.
Edit: BTW, you need TotalCommander.
Thanks for the information, but I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to do. It's very confusing. I just create a text file called anything I want, like outlook.lnk and I just put "poutlook.exe" in that text file? Then what folder does that file go into? Does it matter? How do I get a link on my, "Programs" desktop to it? I'm really confused. Thanks.

Just look in your windows folder with active sync. Organize by file type, and scroll to the .lnk files. That's where you'll find it, although it may have a different name (check initflashfiles.dat if the naming is weird). Copy to the start menu and rename if needed.
I have my phone unlocked and I have the touchexplorer installed. I viewed a PDF about 2 months ago and I want to look at it again. Is there a temp folder that holds these documents and where is it?
normally u would find all your pdfs in Adobe reader unless you deleted them, now if u did I am not sure but I do not think it would show up in temp or anything coz that would just waste precious memory.
Pdf Reader sometimes doesn't store files when you receive few different files with the same name. Like I receive my carrier bill having the same name every month. Because you can't rename files hence the conflict appears. Another great "advantage" of lack of file explorer.
And if in this case you deleted the email containing this file than Pdf is gone.
I was able to find the PDF by going opening the Adobe App (simple right..) now I would like to get it to my computer. I have it set so windows explore on my computer can access the files on my phone but where would that specific file be stored?
No matter what type of attachment it is, it shows up with .dat as the format. It will no longer open .jpg, pdf or word and excel files.
Running EB 2.3.3 with the stock email included with the rom. I made sure there are no prefences set for any sofware that would override the attachements. It used to pop up a list of software and allow me to choose how to open the file.
Any thoughts?
Do you have Astro File MAnager installed on your phone?
Recently I was searching for a way to send apk to my friend, via whatsapp but since its directly not possible, I was looking for workaround. All Google posts linked a extra app, that combines our other extension file with jpg, so that whatsapp sees that jpg to send it. After being sent, recipient needs that same app, to use it, to extract the original file what we intended to send..., Since This isn't effective solution, due to new documents sending feature in Whatsapp, I thought of way and it works well on latest 2.16.97 (as on May 26- 2016) and wanted to share it. This is so simple solution that any Android power user can easily think of...
1. Go to file explorer and change the original app's extension to "txt"
Example: if you want to send a calculator android app, then if app's name would be like "calculator.apk". Rename that to "calculator.txt"
*I have tried other document formats ppt csv pdf etc, none of them expect "txt" extension works, I didn't try "rtf"..
Note: Dont append ".txt" to original file like example "calculator.apk.txt". Whatsapp refuses to accept these...
2. Share that renamed file with extension "txt" to your friend (Can use Share file from file explorer or Go to Whatsapp->contact->attachment->Documents->Browse to renamed txt file location. Works both ways)
3. Whatsapp will send it and your friend will receive that file at sdcard/whatsapp/Whatsapp Documents
*The file can't be opened directly from whatsapp. If opened, only random characters will be seen..
4. Ask your friend to open File explorer and go to "sdcard/whatsapp/Whatsapp Documents" to spot your file. Then ask you friend to rename txt extension by original extension. Example: if calculator app is sent, "calculator.txt" should be renamed back as "calculator.apk"
5. Thats its!... Max file size of 16MB can be sent by this method...
Thanks for reading and give me a Thumbs up if this idea seems worthwhile to you...
