I hope this is the appropriate forum to post this.
So far my search has been unsuccessful for a little app / tool for WM5/WM6 SMARTPHONE: all it needs to do is prompt me for a reminder text and alarm date/time.
At the specified time a reminder just pops up (vibrate/ring) and I can SNOOZE it in 5 minute increments (like older nokia phones.. press n times for n * 5 minute snooze).
Can hold multiple reminders, not just one.
Ideally it should launch with the new reminder prompt so I can quickly add things to remember on the go.
At least this is how I'd imagine my "dream" app.
I don't know if what I wrote makes sense.
You see, I'm an extremely forgetful person. If I'm talking to someone and promise to do something I usually forget it within a minute. Like it never happened. It's pretty serious, I struggle all the time.
I normally use Calendar but it takes too long to enter a simple reminder.
So if anyone could point me in a direction.....where to look
thanks

ps. no, I don't do drugs. I was born with this sh*t.
ps2. I was just thinking, is there a way to create Outlook FORMS for Pocket Outlook? So I could just create a basic template with two input lines and it adds the rest of the stuff and inserts it into outlook. (and add the private flag because it's synced to the corporate exchange server where calendars are all public... )
I've been looking around for some type of software (since WM5 and WM6 don't seem to have the ability built in) that will let me know when I've gotten an email in a folder other than my inbox.
All of the people in my office have separate folders, and all of their email is sorted into their respective boxes automatically in a server-side rule. I'd always have to manually check those folders in windows mobile (I've got an 8125 running XDA Mobile 6 r4) every time I looked at my phone.
While searching around I found a software package called watchflag (www.watchflag.com or m.watchflag.com for the direct download). It didn't have this option at first, but I asked their support about it and they actually wrote it into the code! It'll play different notifications depending on who it's from or what the subject line is, and it checks all folders, including subfolders (just be sure to follow all of their directions!). So if you've been looking for something to alert you on new email in subfolders (the boss [or the wife] emailing you and you have a separate folder for them), this software will work great.
Just wanted to spread the word as I looked high and low and haven't found anything else that does this out there!
thanks for the post, nice ap. probably shouldnt put your email in plain site like that[username]
I've been waiting a long time for this! Thanks!
Looks interesting. I'm looking for something subtley different - I use FlexMail to access a private IMAP account and I'd love to find something which hooks the standard notification process, so, for instance, my HTC Home new mail count will increment for mail received in Flexmail/IMAP. (At the moment I have Outlook mirroring the IMAP account and checking for mail every 5 minutes to flag new arrivals, but that's wasteful of resources...)
Does anyone know of something that allows you to hook the standard notification procedures for custom events?
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.

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 didn't know exactly where to post this so I'm doing it here, hoping that it won't get buried away unanswered.
And I did search, both this forum and the web. No love...
I have a Kaiser (ATT Tilt w/WM6 firmware) unlocked and running on Tmobile. It's activesyncing with our Exchange server.
Often I receive Outlook custom forms. They are created by someone in the office and generally no input is needed from my part. In Outlook I get the macro warning, no biggie. So I generally don't open them in my Kaiser. But a few days ago I opened one... and to my horror I saw that the body of the form was an email thread me and a few others had about putting together a ski trip in Tahoe, and of course the conversation had gotten sidetracked. Suffice it to say a rental house with a hot tub was mentioned... So I am seeing this very email in my Kaiser and the distribution list is the same one as for the Outlook forms. I freaked out for a little then I ran to my computer. Outlook displayed the form as it should. Then I ran towards the office of our Exchange admin. He couldn't give me an answer... but he assured me that if this is happening in my mobile only then I need not worry because Outlook sees it just fine. So I forgot about it.
Until today...
When I got another one... same occurrence, different content on body. This wasn't too crazy... just invitations to happy hour on a Friday at about 5 PM.
But I noticed a strange pattern.
The email containing the custom form was the latest I had received. The next email didn't come for at least 15 minutes. During this time I was looking around the body of the email and took note of the sent/received times between the different replies. I exited out of it and by mistake my fingers hit the cursor button one too many times so I ended up in the very last email stored in my Kaiser. Well... I noticed the time. It was a few minutes later than the strange one. I checked some other similar emails and the result was the same.
But not too long ago it used to not even show anything in the body of these custom form emails... just a blank one.
So it seems that when a custom form is sent from Outlook, either/or can happen. A blank email body or the body of the last email listed in your Pocket Outlook.
Ideally of course I'd like it to show the custom forms... but that's not going to happen.
I guess what I'm looking for is people to tell me they've seen this before and I'm not crazy
I have looked all over the place trying to find a solid answer to this question...
I am trying to restrict the appointments in a given collection to a specific date. This I can do with no problem. The issue I'm running into is that instances of a recurring appointment are not being included in that collection, even thought there is, in fact, an instance on the specified date. I can get the first instance of the series to show up, but I'm not able to collect the other instances of the series. So I need the restricted AppointmentCollection to include appointments that are part of a series.
I've found this page, but I'm not sure how to use this in C#, as the .NETCF does not seem to support the "IncludeRecurrences" property.

If someone could show/tell me how to get the AppointmentCollection to include recurring appointments that would be awesome!
TIA!!!
