There's been a few problems that some people have mentioned, but have either been lost among all the unlocking/upgrading questions or just not followed up for whatever reason. These are some of the issues I had with older versions of wm6 that I tried, which made me go to a wm5 3.3 to get rid of.
1) Auto-fill of names in messaging when typing in the "to" field doesn't happen
2) Windows Live messenger only connecting over GPRS even when wi-fi is enabled
3) I think it's what it's supposed to do, but it's annoying - is there a way to stop Windows Live adding all your contacts to your phone? I don't use my Wizard for e-mails or anything very often, so this is pretty useless, and just fills up my contacts list and then it takes longer to find the people I want to call
4) In the messaging application, the left softkey in wm6 is used for Delete, and to create a new message you have to go into the menu and then select New, whereas wm5 just had New on the left softkey (I'd rather not use 3rd party software to do this, if there is any that can!)
Can't think of any more right now, but feel free to add your own!
Anyone who's got Faria's new wm6 ROM, could you please comment on whether you have encountered any of these issues or if anything has been changed in relation to these?
Thanks,

Can't speak for much, but from the websites I've seen detailing WM6, #4 is actually a code change to the Messaging app. MS' research indicated more people wanted a Delete button than a New button and they made the switch. I don't know if it's something that can be changed through the registry or not, but it is native to WM6.

When you setup Widnows Live, uncheck the option to import contacts and it doesn't import them. At least thats what works for me.
If it is already configured, open windows live and go into options. choose sync options and uncheck contacts and messenger.

Windows Live GPRS Issue

it is the way M$ designed it...they claim it helps battery life...it could not possibly be to make more money off of people by making them use GPRS
I turn off my phone sometime to make it connect via WiFi but faria said in his aku 3.3 ROM he pacaged it so it did not do it...I am trying to find out how to take windows live out of there and install it on WM6?!? but i don't know how I would go about that so if anyone could help please let me know...thanks for reading
Windows Live
Cancelling the GPRS connection before it's complete makes Windows Live switch to Wi-fi anyway, so I don't get why it even tries GPRS first and doesn't just go off wi-fi. Maybe there's a setting somewhere, like when you boot your PC and it goes through the various boot-up devices in order until it finds one that works.
Anyway, my problem with Live contacts being added to the phone contacts... I tried signing in to Windows Live, and going in the options and de-selecting "Synch contacts" as suggested. The problem is, when I try and sign in to Live Messenger, it comes up with a dialog box saying "signing in will add your contacts to your phone" or something, which is exactly the same as before.
Messenger is the only bit of Live (apart from e-mail, I guess) which I'm actually interested in at the minute, but I can't use it because I don't want all the contacts from my messenger account in my phonebook!

Again, This is M$ design. Nothing we can do about this. Messenger live will not work unless the contacts are in your phonebook. Sorry.

Faria just released this fix for windows live a few hours ago...I don't have WiFi at work or I would test it here...I don't even know if this is the fix that I am looking for but I will try it over lunch and see. Hopefully it is!

I tested it over lunch and think that it is the fix that I needed...but still have to play with it some more to make sure...not enough time during my break
- After palying with it some more I think that All this did was set the GPRS to always off
I would love to learn how to create a fix like this myself but I am still trying to learn how to create some basic .lnk files...i am such a newbie
- Haha just found it...here. Now to learn how to make cab files...something tells me its harder
Hello,
My Outlook Mobile Account Info has been corruptet in some way.
The email accounts, sms shows fine, is not visable when starting Messaging.
When I search with PIM manager the accounts are there and when I try reinstalling SEVEN it tells me I have reached the limit of number off accounts.
I am trying to locate the files where the account info is stored and associated emails to delete these and start over again.
Can anyone help with file name and location or if there is a tool available.
I found mailaccountrepair posted on xda but it didn't work. What I really think is the best way is youst to find the files and delete them.
Many thanks,
Hakan, Linkoping, Sweden
Hi. Do you happen to have WM6.1? It seems there is a known problem & Microsoft released a patch:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958639/en-us
"This behavior occurs because the e-mail account details are corrupted when the Windows Mobile 6.1-based device does not connect to the SMTP server."
Otherwise your best bet might be to backup what you can & do hard reset which should fix the problem but unfortunately you'll need to restore all your settings/stuff which shouldn't be too bad using activesync or a backup/restore tool like PPCPimBackup (both of which I've done numerous times from muckin up my phone so bad it wouldn't work or simply migrating to a new phone.)
If you are set on trying to recover what you got now, I think some email stuff is stored under:
My Device\windows\Messaging (I think text files of your messages & attachments)
MD\Application Data\Volatile (?)
MD\MAPI (empty on mine)
Sorry I can't say for sure what all is where & exact purpose but maybe it will head you in the right direction. I recall coming across registry entries for Messaging & MAPI too but it has been awhile. Yell if you want me to dig out my registry editor & look but again hopefully I got you started.
Hope that helps.
Bill
Thanks a million.
I ended up restoring from a fairly recent backup however I am a bit worried for it to happen again.
I am not sure if my problem was because of the known issue you mention. When researching it I also found that the patch wasn't very stable:
http://blogs.msdn.com/outlook_mobile/archive/2008/11/12/wm-6-1-smtp-fix-released.aspx
Anyway, a restore solved the problem for now!
Happy hollidays, Hakan
Hi guys,
Basically I am trying to selectively restore my Boss' Touch Pro, I just want to get the email settings and e-mails across to the new phone he has. I have searched through the registry and the files trying to find where the account settings are held but alas I have had no luck. Does anyone have this nugget of information?
I need to transfer the actual emails and the e-mail account settings.
Use PIM backup to get the e-mails easily (also will get contacts, speed dials, txts etc etc - but you can select what to backup / restore)
E-mail account settings can be dragged out of registry Like this But what e-mail settings do you need? normally things like that are easier to just re-input if its only a 1 off occurence.
A quick look through the mail account settings should give you all the login info you need (except the password)
ok, thats cool, I reckon I can handle that. I actually want any and all e-mail settings because the amount that my boss wants me to install new roms for him to try out means that I don't want to keep re-inputting his details into the phone. I would ideally want all information in sepperate restorable cabs or reg entries. problem with the backup software I am using is that it takes all of the software as well, so when I restore it to a newly flashed phone it restores all the crap from the previous phone...tre frustrating.
and yeah, this is a strange problem, I personally stick with a single firmware instead of jumping about...but I'm not the boss
If you're gonna be flashing roms, check out UC (in the hacking thread) or shashmi. Both should let you personalise the "post flash" install so you get the device back to how you like it quickly & easily.
I was doing some googling and this is as good a place as any to find users who have a clue.. so Im wondering if anyone has had this problem or a workaround.
I have a SE X1 (winmo 6.1) I configured my imap mail perfectly, but the only folders my device download from is the Inbox. I have other folders that I use to sort mail into (via mail rules on my desktop).. which are not downloading mail at all. I can see them listed, but they all show empty.
I was hoping this would be fixed in winmo 6.5, so I upgraded my X1 to 6.5 and the problem still exists. Has anyone else managed a workaround to synce other folders.. to clarify in the diagram below .. is an example of my structure .. in the example I am not getting mail in my client 1 or client 2 folder
Imap - Inbox
- Sent
- Client 1
- Client 2
- etc...
I hope that makes sense
Hi
I've got the same problem. If anyone has an answer...
Furthermore, the folders of my pocket outlook, like "sent messages" are created in my web mail account (like yahoo), because the name of theses folders (sent, trash...) are not the same.
UP!
I also have the same issue...
May be somebody can give an alternative?
Sync other folder
You can sync any folder you wish by selecting it as a managed folder. To do so follow these steps.
1. Open your mail box.
2. Click the options button and select Tools
3. Select Managed folders
4. Select each folder you wish to sync then click ok
The next time you send and receive mail the folder will be synchronized.
I had this same problem and just recently discovered this solution. In my case I would send a message from my Yahoo email account and although it would tell me it was sent, I would have no verification after the fact. It was not listed on my device in the sent folder nor was it listed via the website in the sent folder. I had to send a test to another one of my email accounts to verify the send funciton was actually working.
PLEASE NOTE: You should make sure your sent folder is fairly clean before syncing. I did not clean it first and it had to sync over 300 messages from that one folder.
I have tried this, but it appears that only allows the sync via activesync and not via the normal internet connection (ie when you are not connected to your pc) .. am I missing something ?

This is the way to do it on Win MO 6.1 - I have this set up on Blackstone.
Unfortunately on HD2 (6.5) I can not find Tools and manage folders choice.
Anybody knows where it is hidden?
FOUND IT!
Before someone else spends hours looking - Disable Sense, go to win standard GUI - all settings are there. Same thing with repeat sound in alarm.... GUI is hiding settings!!!!
Why HTC thinks they know what I want to see and adjust?
Often I do not want it the way I want it!!!!

I think you'll find that the option is there, it's just not immediately obvious that one needs to scroll down.
From your home tab, do the following:
Email tab
Inbox (left soft key)
Menu
At this stage it APPEARS that 'Go to >' is the last menu item. It actually isn't. If you scroll down you will reveal 'Tools' 'Select Messages' and 'Send via Bluetooth' .
'Manage folders' is in the 'Tools' sub menu.
No need to disable Sense.

You sure? For me it worked this way (same problem). I've not even activated email-syncing via ActiveSync.

Hi Franwella. Excellent tip. I could not spot the tools option and you led me straight to it and now I have managed to sync IMAP sub folders with my Gmail account. Brilliant ! Thanks.
Cannot download messages from server over IMAP
Hello,
I would like to ask you for some help because I cannot find a solution to my problem and I really appreciate your expertise.
So, here is the problem:
Facts.
I have 2 email accounts:
- the main business account running on a IceWarp Merak 9.x server
- a personal account running on Gmail server.
Problem.
If I receive on both addresses (servers) the same html e-mail witch contains formatted text and pictures, then using the native e-mail messaging client of my Windows Mobile 6.5 HTC smartphone, here is what I get:
- on the main business account the message cannot be seen. What I see from the message is only BODY.PEEK[2]
- on the Gmail account I can see the full message, exactly as I can see it on my desktop.
I played with all the settings from „Message download limit” and „Download attachments„ for the main business account, in order to get it working. Here is what I found:
- any settings for „Download attachments„ does not change the behavior, the result is the same (BODY.PEEK[2])
- for „Message download limit” if I choose „Headers only”, download headers and then mark the message for download it is working. But this means that I should connect twice – more bandwidth and more time spent until get the messages. If I choose any other option except the above mentioned, I get the bad result BODY.PEEK[2]...
This problem is very annoying because I cannot read my business mails if I'm out of the office.
What do you think?
It is a server problem (IceWarp Merak 9.x)?
Or the native messaging client from Windows Mobile 6.5?
Can you help me to solve this problem?
Looking forward for your reply,
Best regards,
Stefan
Hi,
All I have being able to research point me to reset my WP7 in order to change the Windows Live account.
Is there any reghack or workaround to avoid this?
Thanks!
Unfortunately, no. Downloaded apps are tied to the account so a reghack won't help.

Actually I do not care much about installed apps (can reinstall and it would be an opportunity to cleanup the list ), but I do about contacts and specially manual effort doing contacts merge from various sources.
Contacts can be either synced in Outlook or you could try the Windows Phone Device Manager
The answer is still you can't change the account, though...
hmm well I dont know about you guys but a reset isnt all that bad. I've reset my phone more then i can count and it only takes like a few minutes at least to get it back to how you want it
Well I for one have tried searching the registry but had no luck thus far. It's gotta be there hidden somewhere and I can only hope one of the talented devs around here can figure it out.
Microsoft have this stupid system where your gamertag/zunetag is region locked. When WP7 launched I signed in with my main gamertag and purchased a couple of games using a prepaid creditcard which had a USA billing address. As that has now expired and I no longer reside in the USA, I had to change my live to a secondary account using a hard reset. Problem is, now I cannot redownload content for which I have already paid for.
It's really rather pathetic that MS haven't had the foresight to see this problem. And it continues to escilate as more people move around the world.
You should definitely hammer support on this issue. I'm sure you'll sort it out in the end, but you're going to hassle a bit for sure
you need this

How to change primary LiveID email without resetting WP7:
On the desktop:
1) Go to account.live.com and sign in with your old account;
2) Change your LiveID email (use existing email or get new one from @hotmail.com);
3) Save your changes and re-login with new ID.
On the handset:
1) Using registry editor or provisioning file, change these values:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Partners\{B2830 118-7BC6-4A74-8C9A-3D8B9CEF88E0}]
"Email"[email protected]
"User"[email protected]
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\Environment\Pr oduction]
"DefaultID"[email protected]
Provisioning file:
Code:
2) Reboot phone.
Now you on new LiveID email without factory reset!

Or just use my Supreme Shortcuts app and there is a shortcut to the live id setup
Change windows live id without reset; tried today
I tried the registry editor change:
1. You have to change two values, not one. Mail and Account must both be changed.
2. I don't know if it mattered, but I chose to change the server from m.Hotmail.com to the new one for my live account (ie subservername-m.Hotmail.com)
3. Also need to change current user\software\Microsoft\identitycrl\environment defaultID
I tried it today and it worked quickly.
Thanks for the work iLoveHD7
or you can deploy this small app View attachment IDswitch.xap and find it in your phone Settings .
