[Q] importing CSV files into calendar w/o ActiveSync - General Questions and Answers

I found some very old threads on this topic and found this program in the following link for Contacts but it does not work for Calendar Appts. Has anyone written a similar program or can modify this one for Calendar Appts? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5784862&postcount=8
Thnx
P.S. I don't know the rules that well here so if the modify request goes against them, can a Moderator please remove that portion.

How to delete a category from categories list in WM5.0

When I create a new task in WM5.0 and choose a category for it, there are categories in there that I don't need and aren't assigned to any task, contact or appointment. How do I delete the categories I don't need from this list? The list of categories only has a New option and tap-and-hold doesn't give me a delete option.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm very interested in the answer. Nobody knows?
In WM2003 it seems not to be a problem, but in WM5 it is.
Best regards,

Holy crap .... 9 months on and still no news on this subject. I guess this means making babies is a whole easier than deleting categoies in the Category List.
By the way, why don't the avatars of xda-developers.com keep questions like this in a separate box, like "Tough Cookies to Crack". Its been 9 months after all, and I would hate for this question to go down the line to page 932456456436463464 or something in this forum and remain unanswered.
An add-on to this thread is:
How do you rename/delete the default Categories under Contacts? The default Categories in question are:
1. Business
2. Holiday
3. Personal
4. Seasonal
Maybe it will help you ;
Try deleting from PC - MsOutlook and sync
OR
install Inesoft Address Book (commercial) and delete the categories you want then you can uninstall if you want, coz it's trial
I think I may have found the solution:

The Workaround solution should be adapted slightly:
1. Create a new Contact item
2. Assign to it one of the Categories that you would like to delete
3. View the summary card of the new contact from the unfiltered category view
4. Delete the contact from the summary view
The Category should then be removed from the list.
had the same problem in the past...
solved it by installing pocket informant which can handle categories.

Html-mail -- Internet pictures blocked

Hello all,
Is there a way to automatically download pictures in html-mail? Now my device says: "To protect your privacy, pictures from the Internet are not automatically downloaded." Very annoying ...
I have a HTC P3300 with windows mobile 6 (Meschle's ROM)
Thanks
Automatic pic download?????
I was thinking the same thing....Im trying to find out now
...this has got to be THE most annoying thing EVER...
I've been looking for a solution to this one too...
I want my html email to be ACTUAL html WITH pictures by default...whats the point of blocking the pictures? You might as wel just use text email instead...!
PLEASE post the solution to this if you find it...
afaik if you get a spam mail with images, and these are downloaded, they recognize it and then you will get TONS of spam.
so the first spam mail is just a test for that e-mail address.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This I understand. But with respect, that still has nothing to do with wanting the option of turning the images on or off of my own volition.
Not to mention in MY case, I have rules set up that move email from my contact address book to a folder called "sync" - and thats the only folder that I am syncing to my mobile. were talking friends and business clients...NOT anything else...so in my case, that rule fails...what...3x a year...if that.
Again, anyone know how to turn OFF the automatic picture blocking of html email on wm6?
Drat! Had hoped I'd find a solution to this problem, but it looks like I'll have to keep searching, like everyone else? Doesn't make sense that there wouldn't be an options setting or registry flag to control this behavior since it is so annoying to some of us...
anyone ever find a way to do this? I see lots of threads about it but no answers.
There is still No Answer on this Forum or any other that I have found. I moved to Qmail and Am very happy, of Course it has its own challenges.
I'm also looking for a solution to this.
so Bumpety Bump Bump!!!
Some solution please ....

How to alter Send as vCard behavior?

As a rule, I use neither SMS or MMS, but need to send Contact details by email frequently.
I note that people have previously asked how to change the Send as vCard behavior to use email accounts instead of MMS. But the questions are a little old now.
Does anyone have an answer yet, either for WM6.0 Smartphone or WM6.1 Touchscreen?
Thx.
*bump*
I sorely miss this feature. I was wondering if it could not be achieved by editing the registry. Anyone?
Has anyone found how to do this, I realise its an old question, but it would be handy to know?
Yes, this is not existing. Unbelievable !
I'm using a workaround for this.
1st/ start a send vcard (MMS)
2nd/ the card is stored in folder /temp. Filename seems always to be 'me.vcf'
3rd/ attach it to a normal email using whatever kind of file explorer !!
I'm open to any kind of better solution or workaround !

Modify events in phone contacts

Dear friends,
This is my first post, I have been looking for a place to saludate but I have not found it.
I have a question for wm6. I have a diamond2 with a cooked rom, and I cannot see the next events in the page of "updates and events" of the contacts in the phone. I would like to know if someone knows the place in the registry editor to modify this matter.
Thank you in advance,

Android text thread contact number error

After trying to find an answer to this for months I decided to make a post. After converting my contacts from my old Windows Mobile Phone to a Note 3 I have exactly one contact with an issue. The issue is only in the text thread and is a problem when I try to send a text to the contact from the preexisting thread. The contact number at the top of the screen (below the name) has a letter in front of the number for some reason. The letter is not present if I go into the contact or if I export the address book to a spreadsheet through Gmail or Microsoft Live. I tried deleting the contact from Gmail and Live to see if it will start a new thread or fix the error, but it does not. The issue is not present when I create a new text to send to the contact so long as I am not doing it from the preexisting thread, but then everything ends up in the preexisting thread instead of a new thread.
Hopefully someone here can walk me through a backdoor way of editing a text thread to fix this issue with the random letter in front of the contact's number so I can have regular text conversations with this contact without deleting the entire thread and message history.
Any suggestions? Maybe there is another location to post?
Nothing? This has never happened before?
Bump. Is anyone out there? Any suggestions on where to look for the answer?
Is there a moderator that is able to help guide me in the right direction if this should be posted somewhere else?
From the stickies I think this should be moved to Q&A. If I'm reading this right... Have you exported the text thread? That may clean up the database of bad characters. Also search your Gmail contacts for stray data. There might be some oddball associations that need to be deleted or merged.
Help!
I really could use some advice on this matter as I am yet to find a solution. If this thread needs to be moved is there a way to move the thread without making a new one?
