Does any one know of a way or an application that will allow you to have different colours for Appointments.
reason why i ask is that i have alot of appointments on my calendar that are different to each other. Some are work based others are personal aswell as some that are of another nature. When you see the appointments, specifically in the month view they are all marked with a silver triangle in the top right corner. This really does not help to find seperate appointments easily.
If anyone knows of a way to get a good colour code system be put in place i would be ever grateful.
the manila integrated calendar is so weak, it is really only usable for people with few appointments a day, and people who don't need custom catagories, and people who don't need tasks...
I just disabled the calendar tab and put PocketInformant to my left softkey...

windows mobile live messenger is syncing all the email contacts to my PPC contacts and its getting really annoying. I'm sick of scrolling through my contacts and seeing an entry like "Sek_C_girl_69" or some other crap like that.
I go through and delete the ones i don't want and add my friends emails under there appropriate contact info but they still keep appearing.
Anyone know of some tweak i can do that will not display contacts with only an email address?
You can use the builtin filter.
How?
Just as an FYI,
The next beta version will be MUCH improved in this area.
Don't forget, it's NOT a finished product, and doesn't necessarilly look like the final version. Lots of changes are upcoming.
(can't be more specific than this, sorry)

Go to your contacts application; Choose menu -> Filter and select all your categories. This should work.
I only have 'all contacts', 'recently viewed' and 'No categories' to select.
I've got the following options under filter : All contacts, Recently viewed, no categories, family, personal, colleagues, and more...
I guess i just got to put them all in groups, but then i can't select multiple groups like say i want to see Family, Personal, and Colleagues and not WMLM contacts...?
whats really pissing me off about it is in the SPB Diary plug in, it shows a couple picture contacts, then after that its just emails and i have to scroll forever to get to my real contacts.
They call that program a beta? Alpha at most. All the people I know who've tried it appear offline. (Windows XP/Vist versions) Seriously, bugs that big should be gone far before the "B-word" is used to describe the development stage.
Anyone able to think of a way to have it so that messages would be marked as read when previewed in TF3D (similar to text messages)? Sometimes I've already read an email, or it's short, or it's not something I care about and would rather not have to open the message to mark it as read.
Thanks.
use flex mail it is much better than the standard outlook and you can mark mail's sms's as read or unread...you'll never go back to outlook again
I've actually heard good things about FlexMail before. My only concern is that I really do like TF3D, can FlexMail replace Outlook for the mail tab and still work with the fancy (lol) previews and such?
you can try Samapa programe to change the default tmail.exe to flexmail i never tried it..but i tried and changed successfuly the all contacts soft key in touch flo to open icontact and the calender button on the home tab to thumbcal ..so try it and let me know what happens
I'm sorry... Samapa? Google'd to no avail (well, as far as phone-relevant things go).

I think I am going to chicken out and not try it. Other than sounding a bit complicated (maybe just because I am a noob on my first WInMo device), but I also don't see anything where it would be able to maintain the preview functionality (and allow that preview to mark the message as read, which is my actual "issue" or whatever).
Thanks though!
I'd also love to be able to mark emails as read from the TouchFlo preview pane, without opening up the mail app (whether that's Outlook or something else). I do like the idea of the preview, but it would make a significant difference if I could use it to mark unimportant and short emails as read in one step.
Anyone?
Hey everyone....
Does anyone know if we can get the calendar app. on the Fuze to show upcoming appointments like a week in advance? Mine will not show the appointments in the calendar tab until the day it happens. I HAVE SEARCHED The FORUMS ALREADY and could no find the answer, so please if you know it I would appreciate it....or If you can please point me to the right thread I would appreciate it as well as I cant find the answer on my own.
Thanks for the help.
many of us have tried to make Touchflo show more appts, however, its not possible at this time. your best option, if you need this, is to disable touchflo, and download some other homescreen app (ie, spb diary, etc)
And while on the subject of the Fuze calendar, I noticed today that appointments without a start/end time (all day appointments) do NOT show up in the monthly view as little icons on the display.
This is REALLY annoying, as I use glancing at the monthly display to determine if I'm available on a given day for work (I'm a freelancer).
Is there a solution, aside from editing all my all day appointments to give them a start and end time?
Is there another, better calendar program that someone can recommend?

I've been using Pocket Informant for a few years and I can't operate without it...

Thanks for the reply. That looks like a LOT more features than I need, but it's an intersting app.
Can you confirm that an all-day appointment with no set start or end time made on Outlook on the dsktop shows on the Fuze display with pocketinformant?
After further investigation (I'm new to Outlook, having used Palm Desktop for a decade or so), it seems that in Outlook if you enter an all day event, you must also mark the event/day as "BUSY" instead of the default "FREE", and then a "something is happening this day" icon shows up in the Fuze calendar monthly view.
SBSH Calendar Touch
assign it to a (left) softkey
this is something that is still really bothering me, and i know that there are alternatives, but i personally love tf3d, so i was thinking, is it possible to have a calendar tab that shows your next 5-6 appointments? i know that there is a calendar tab floating around, but it just shows you a month calendar. if there was a way to set that tab to show your upcoming appts, that would solve my, and many others as well, problem. thanks

I second that. It would be nice to have a customizable today (TAB) that we could put the today screen or if not possible just appointments.. Hopefully some handy XDA'er is working on it....
I think I know the answer to this already, and if I'm right, it's a bit pap!
The Favourites tab in Manila 2.5 allows you to add contacts there, as per previous versions of Manila. The problem I have is that you can't just add a person. You have to add a contact method for a person.
For example, I add my mate Chris, but I sometimes call him, sometimes text him, and sometimes email him. In order to create a shortcut where I can do these things, I need to create one for each of them, and therefore have 3 shortcuts for 1 person.
I've really looked round to see if there are any settings that could change this crappy behaviour, but as far as I can see, it's just poo.
Anyone got any words of wisdom on this matter?
I'm not a fan of this little feature either, but the way I get deal with it is by tapping the NAME of the contact, not the contact picture. this will take you to the contact's info (i.e. the unified communications screen you normally get after selecting a contact) from there you'll be able to email/call/text them
I've searched several times, but can't find anything quite like I was looking for. I was hoping to find an app where you can enter a note or notes on a particular date - maybe color coded. Then you can look back through the calendar to glance at the notes. For things like recording your weight, or blood pressure, or maybe what outfit you wore, or if you exercised and how long. Just any thing really.
Has anyone seen anything like that? And I don't want to record these things in my outlook calendar or tasks.
Moved as not software release.
