HELP! How to create ShortCut to INBOX, OUTBOX and SENT-ITEMS??
I need your help guys, I've tried every possible ways I can but in vain.
The following parameters to "tmail.exe" doesn't seem to work as it should:
30#windows\tmail.exe -service "SMS" -open "Inbox"
I want it to take me directly to my "inbox". Instead, it takes me to "outbox" or even "sent-items" if those were the last sessions I left. For example: I'm reading inside "outbox" afterwards I close messaging. When I tap the shortcut, it takes me to "outbox" and not "inbox" where i intent it to be!
I even tried other variations like (-transport "SMS" -open "Inbox") but no luck.
Here's what I need: A parameter that takes me directly to "Inbox" just "Inbox" and nowhere else. A shortcut to "outbox" or "sent items" is also appreciated.
thanks in advance

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!!!!!
For a while now my universal has been doing really strange when it comes to seeing my text messages. All the folders of "text messages" have disappeared, so no starting a message, saving it to drafts and retrieving it, and I only get a folder called IPM.root. Every once and a while, my inbox will reappear when I press the message-key on my keyboard, but if I want to browse folder, to go to email for instance, I get IPM.root again and no messages.
I've tried various things, like installing the trial of Flexmail, but that did not help, I couldn't see anything. Interestingly, Pocketbreeze is able to pick up my inbox messages in the tab. I've been looking around the "windows" folder, but haven't found any easy solutions. I figure something went wrong in the system, but I'm not a programmer that can dive into the registry and write code.
Anyone have any ideas? All help would be welcome.
Thanks
I use text messages very frequently, and miss the basic functionality of having the list of recent contacts that you have SMS'ed...du-uh, WinMo . I typically text my girlfriend a lot, and it takes me about 9 clicks / ~15-18 seconds to create a new message with her mobile number in the "To" field
Thankfully, I stumbled upon a workaround on the e-natives website, which works great if there is one particular contact you send text messages to frequently.
1. Install SmartToolKit and launch it
2. Goto Start > Control > Gadgets
3. Click on Add > Shortcut
4. Under "File", click on "..." and browse to \Windows\tmail.exe
5. Under "Parameters", type the following text:
-transport "SMS" -to "Name <Number>"
where "Name" is the name of the person in the contact list, and "Number" is that person's mobile number
6. Under "Title", type whatever you want to call this new shortcut
All done. Now go the homescreen, press the backspace key, and press the number corresponding to the shortcut you created. You'll have a new message to a contact in 2 clicks / ~4 seconds. EUREKA
thats awesome thanx!
thats the typical girlfriend shortcut lol
I have made a rather simple app for my wm6 device that locks the tmail.exe with a passcode.
i have
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("tmail.exe", "")
as part of my code that launches on success,
my question is does anyone know the argument for opening direct to "Inbox" the last empty quotes are supposed to handle arguments but nothing has worked thus far, i am fairly new at design so if i left out any info let me know.
i have tried -services "SMS" - open "Inbox"
and variations of those..no luck
Try -service ActiveSync, or whatever the name of the account is.
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("tmail.exe", "-services ActiveSync")
did not work, at least nothing was launched
lthough it doesn't crash either.
what do you mean by name of the account? sorry...
verizon Samsung sch-i760
with verizon carrier.
standard text message inbox
i have been able to create a shortcut to the inbox but trying
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("shortcut_i_made.ink", "")
crashes...is there a way to launch a shortcut perhaps that anyone knows of?
sorry for my confusion..
Ooohh! The i760, the phone I started here with! Anyways, try "service" with no "s" at the end. By account name, I meant if you were trying to open a gmail account it would be "-service gmail"
Here we go, just found it, try this instead, you were missing a piece:
"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -open "inbox"
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.
