[Question] Where does the mobile inbox downoad the files to? - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys. I just want to know where the email client on the windows mobile downloads the files to?
Because I'm trying to find a better/easier/faster way to transfer files from my CPU to my phone. (Feel free to suggest any).
But yeah, I get a message about the inbox won't open it cause of the type of file it is, Where is the folder that I can find those files?

Attachments on emails are stored on \Windows\Messaging\Attachments by default, or in \Storage Card\InboxXXX...\Mail Attachments if the option was selected. Email bodies are store in \Windows\Messaging. Both emails bodies and attachments are not readable directly, so you will have to look arround a lot to find the attachment you want. However I would be extremely careful about working on those folders, or you might end up with empty text emails and/or missing attachments. Hope this helps.

any way to keep messages on server when deleting them by phone using gmail IMAP?

when i delete messages inside pocket outlook they also get erased on the server (in the web application), this is quite annoying because i get a lot of emails and dont want them all on my phone so i delete some of them, but then i might need them again because they contain order reference numbers or sth. similar. any possibility to keep them on the server?

moved it to an unsynchronised folder, then delete. not tried but should work in theory

[Q] When I open email attachments they always get saved.

I was just playing around with ES File Explorer, trying to learn what it does, and I discovered that all the email attachments that I've opened during the past few days (.doc,.pdf,.pps) were actually saved to my G tab.
I'd rather than didn't happen.....is that a feature that I can turn off somewhere?
(I couldn't find anything under the different menus for mail or browser.)
You could try a third part e-mail client, such as Enhanced Email which seems to have a good rating in the market.
I use the Yahoo Mail app.
Does anyone know if I can view attachments to my email, without having to download them to my G tab?

Where would I find an old PDF i viewed on my WP7.. temp folder

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?

[Q] Attaching file to emails

Long time WM user, fairly new WP7.5 user.
Love the platform and for the most part, don't miss WM at all.
Except, I used to be able to attach files to my emails like MP3 and Wav files but I have yet to see a way to do that under WP7.5.
I have searched and scrolled through this section to see if I could find something however nothing really addressed the question. Based on some of the threads I read, it looks like this cannot be done.
Can it? Does anyone know if it is coming out in a relase fix?
Thanks,
Rick
The EmailComposeTask class does not support attachments which is ridiculous and it's been a long time complaint. Microsoft doesn't seem to bothered by it and I haven't heard anything about them supporting it. I think it's part of their strategy to get devs to start using the cloud more.
Just noticed this wasn't the developer forum. My post is development related and doesn't really apply to question.
I agree about the cloud but you still need to be able to send a link in an expeditious way. Openning windowslive and finding the folder/file and then specifying share and sending an email is a PIA.
I do like the cloud for my contacts and other stuff since it is not taking space on my phone. I like it until I travel into the boonies of Texas and want to make a call but the contact list is not there cause there is not connection to 4G, 3G but to whatever was there before God created cell phones. Not looking forward to that day.
For most things it is done under the application. For example, in office word, you can hit share and choose the email account. Same within most apps. Zune though does not have this option. probably because your not supposed to pirate them to your friends.
Yet more prof that Windows Phone sucks and Windows Mobile still rules. What a damn shame. I tried to email someone and attach my resume but couldn't I had to go through the stupid office hub to do it, what a bunch of B.S. And they wonder why their sales suck ass.

You're not trying to imply that I would send MP3's that are illegal are you?
Just kidding.
Actually they are my own files and sometimes ring tones that I created and want to share.
As for the resume email... kind of hard to attach a file to an email when it is not located on your phone. I am liking the fact that the cloud has the files and not the phone. There just needs to be a simple way to access and send it. Like Sinister1, I would prefer to have it attached to an email that I authored like we have been doing every since email allowed attachments rather than going to the file on the cloud and sharing it with an individual.
Is there any way to extract files from our phones and store them in Dropbox or Skydrive? for example pdf files or mp3.
Office files will sync on SkyDrive, or if opened on the phone (from email or web) can be saved to SkyDrive or to the phone itself. In either case, you can then send them as attachments (but only that one file at a time) in email.
Sadly, though, that's the only way I know of to send email attachments other than pictures. Microsoft really needs to either add the API for attachments, or they need to allow Outlook Mobile to open files from the public parts of your phone.
Irony-mode: Zune (the hardware, all the way fromt he HD to the original 30GB model) allowed sending files by WiFi - a feature MS has not bothered to add to WP7 even though I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be difficult (both run on some variant of CE, both have WiFi, the HD even used a touch interface similar to the phone...). Instead, forget sending music, forget sending video, and you can barely send a Word doc!

Is there another way to extract pdfs, zips or mp3s of our phones even through data cable?
My PDF files are adding up. Whenever I open up Adobe reader, the files are pilling up. I know I can press and hold on any one of them and delete the file but some I want on my PC and this just is too funky.
@Rickgig, what phone do you have? Some WP7 devices are able to use apps that will access the phone and move/copy/transfer files.
Alternatively, don't you have other copies of those PDFs? I mean, they got onto the phone from somewhere, so wouldn't it be easier to get them from there? Then you could safely delete the unneeded ones off the phone.

I have a Titan with AT&T.
You're right... I can get them from someplace else. They are mostly menu's from restaurants but then they are business documents too. I have since learned to upload them from my PC to Skydrive and access them there.
There's a work around for everything I just wanted some of the WM features to be here. Like the file that prompted me to start this thread in the first place. My son did some work on his car and took a short video of the results and MMS'd to me. I can forward it to others but that is about it. Can't save it, can't email it to myself... if I deleted the text thread, it's gone.

K9 Email help needed

Is there already a good thread somewhere to seek out some help in configuring K9 Email or should I just post here?
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
Currently configured for POP mail not IMAP (Comcast/Xfinity).
Have it set to sync so that when email is downloaded to my PC and no longer on Comcast's servers that K9 will auto delete/remove those messages from my Inbox.
I just want to know the following:
1) like on my old blackberry can I flag a message as Saved so that unless I manually delete it is saved? If so, how? If not, then can I create a saved or archive folder and manually move them there? If so, how? If not what do you suggest as an alternative?
2) If I accidentally delete a message it immediately moves to trash (and I think immediately sends a delete command to Comcast's servers). How can I undelete a message or manually move it from trash back to inbox?
3) How can I manually create folders and move messages between folders?
4) Please explain the whole folder level thing, i.e. Level 1, Level 2, etc.
THANKS!
