Send calendar invites via IMAP not activesync - General Questions and Answers

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

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.

Forward all incoming SMS to email?

Hey everyone, I've got a question.
Is there an application out there that will automatically forward all SMS's in your inbox to an e-mail address? Or even if you have to do it manually once a day or week or what ever. The plan is to keep all my SMS's in an email's inbox. Is it possible? Is there something out there? Thanks
K.
WM 6.1 Omnia (if that makes any difference to anyone) is what I'm using.

Hi,
Anyone know if forwarding SMS to email ispossible to do this in silent-mode, i.e without the phone user knowing which email it is sent to and when? Reason is I am worried for my teenage daughter as she may be involved is something not good and want to help her for obvious reasons.
I have an HTC PDA with win 6.1 pro
Many thanks Nd regards

I don't know if that's legal, be it your daughter or not. And even if it is, is it ethically correct ? I think that intercepting an sms is like intercepting e-mails or phone calls, it shouldn't be done.
Your call.

Do take a look at PhoneLeash. It can automatically forward incoming SMS to your email or an SMS destination (another phone or Google Voice). You can even reply.
PhoneLeash 1.7 is now released. You can find it here.
We are really happy with the quality and reliability of SMS forwarding to email. With PhoneLeash you can also reply (if your phone has an email to SMS address).

Can I check outlook email directly from my Touch Pro / Raphael?

Can I check outlook email directly from my mobile?
Was trying to search in this forum and also did some googleing, but can find any...
Does anyone know -> "Can I check outlook email directly from my mobile?"
I'm synchronizing with my PC outlook (company's POP3 email) with my Touch Pro, most of the time I always let's my PC downloads all the email and sync it to my mobile and only check it when I have time (at Touch Pro). I've found this button (pls refer to the pic attached) and thinking maybe Touch Pro can use its internet connection (3G/WiFi/etc) to check the "outlook email"* as well? Does anyone knows can this be done or this button is just for 'display' purpose? Or there's other way for me to get this done?

Pls advice, thanks a million. Cheers.
* I mean Outlook Email that able to sync with PC in the end, not POP3/Hotmail email feature.
You need to set up a pop account with your outlook email settings. This will give you 2 accounts on the phone Outlook and the pop of it. in activesync set it up to delete the pop email when connected to the pc to stop the doubleup of emails
I believe you may be thinking of "direct push mail" technology. You can set up your outlook account through an online exchange server (mail2web.com for example) and it should automatically "push" your email to your phone.
Obviously, it takes some time to set up and I don't know all the details about your email setup.
Hope this points you in the right direction.
What company/ISP are you using, one thing to bare in mind is most carriers (in the UK at least) use their own smtp server, so when you set up your account on your Touch Pro and you find you cant "send" emails, it will more than likley be because of this.
just set it up in messaging
start -> messaging -> Setup Email
follow the prompts

[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:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The problem: 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 9.00 I have to wake up at 7.45, so I want to set a reminder alarm to wake me up 1h15 before the meeting.
In my old Symbian calendar I'd simply set the meeting at 9.00 and the alarm at 7.45.
But in Android's calendar I can't enter the reminder time. It only lets me choose between 1 hour before (too late) or 2 hours before (too early).
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.

[APP][2.2+] Etext (SMS to Email and Back)

Hello all,
I just released a free application/service that forwards your SMS messages to e-mail addresses you define, and also sends responses back when you reply to the received e-mails (coming from your own number). Etext uses Google's Cloud 2 Device Messaging (C2DM) to notify your phone without polling every x minutes, hence the Android 2.2 requirement. It's designed so that it can actually replace the default SMS application's notifications, and to be able to reply to incoming messages from any device that's able to receive e-mail, no matter where you are.
The application is brand new on the market, so it would be great if the XDA community could give it a try. Screenshots and a more thorough description can be found on the Android Market (or should I say Google Play). Below is a link, and a QR code that you can scan on your device. If you have any questions or suggestions you can always post here or e-mail me!

Hey!
Did a quick test this and it works well Will do more tests soon.
Was wondering what the real purpose is. I mean ... wouldn't SMS be more reachable than emails given that for email a net connection is necessary, while it is not necessary for SMS?
I'll be using this to have a record of my messages in my mail and occasionally to save a wee bit on my message bills!

It bugged me that I couldn't receive SMS messages or reply to them when I was using my tablet (or any other device for that matter). That's basically why I started working on the application. It worked pretty well for myself, so I decided to implement C2DM and release it on the market. A plus is that I can now search for a name on GMail and get the text messages as well.

[Q] Can't edit calendar entries from exchange server

Sorry for the several pictures attached, but they will help illustrate the problem.
This is the software version I am using on the phone. I am rooted but otherwise stock.

This is the version of Google Calendar I am using
I have 2 exchange accounts on my Android device. Each syncs calendar entries properly. This pic is of one of the accounts.
However, depending on the manner in which the calendar entry was entered, whether on the phone or using outlook, the notifications differs.
This entry was added using the phone. Notice the "pen" icon in the top right, which allows for editing the entry as well as the general layout of the notification.
Now notice the notification when the entry was made with outlook. It is very different, and does not have the pen icon to edit the entry.
I found the following post (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13779) which seems to indicate that it is a problem with the primary SMTP address, but I removed, and then re-added the account using the exact address, and the problem persists.
I am at a loss. Anyone have any ideas. I contact my hosted exchange service, and they asked if I had updated my android software to the latest, and then said that, since they have not had many, if any, complaints about it, there was nothing they could do. Now, I am willing to live with it if need be, but I would love to correct this issue.
Update
So, I added the exchange calendar to a different android phone (TBolt) and the entries are now editable.
I then uninstalled, and reinstalled, the calendar app on the problem phone (A Rezound) and the problem is still present.
I also notice that I had two calendar applications. Notice the icons at the bottom of the picture
Perhaps there is some sort of interaction causing the problem. Anyone have any suggestions. Would love to uninstall the older calendar app, but don't see that option anywhere.
I am trying to avoid a factory wipe, and am also wondering if the latest Rezound SW update will cure the problem.
Any ideas?
