IMAP Folders

How can I get my PPC to subscribe ONLY to the Inbox, Sent, and Trash folders? It seems to want to check ALL folders on the IMAP server which takes a LONG time over GPRS and makes it a pianful experience! I can't mess with the IMAP server, so any solution would have to exclude changing settings on the IMAP server. Is there a 3rd party app. that fixes this?

ki - you have swamped the board with SIX postings the same about another subject - one in every forum, and now THREE postings the same about this.
It rather tends to peeeess people off doing that, and not engende a reply.
Listen - decide waht it is you are asking about, and post a message in the relevant forum.
OK.

My apologies. I am new to this and looking at the various forums, my query seemed to fit the ones I sent to. I've had posts that clearly belonged to a specific forum and posted only there. This time, my query regarding IMAP folder subscription is quite specific and seems to be either an unsolved problem or a hard to solve one, but I was not sure where it belonged (perhaps I should have asked first). Given that some people who may potentially know the answer may not frequent some of the forums, I decided to cross post. If this is a settings problem that I may have missed, then either "General" or "Using it" seem suitable forums. If this requires software hacking such as a registry hack, then "Hacking it" is the place. If there is a ROM upgrade, or cooked extended ROM that fixes this, then "Upgrading and Modifying it" is the right place.
If this upsets people, I will refrain from this from now on. Please note that I search for answers in this forum and other sources before posting. I post only when I am stumped and have given up. So, having said all of this, where does the IMAP folder post best belong?

insert contact number in sms ..how to do this?

say im sending sms to Mr 1 and i want to add contact detail of Mr 2 from my contacts, how can i do this?
its pretty simple in normal phones like nokia...

u need to open contact first, then view Mr. 2's contact details. Click on menu ---> send contact via SMS/MMS
there are several option on the menu such as call, send a message, edit contact, send contact via SMS/MMS etc
hth

no no u didnt get it..
ok im composing new sms, now how can i add someones detail/ number from my contacts..
rememeber im sending sms to Mr 1 thats not a problem... i want to add numbers of Mr 2 and Mr 3 from contacts that Mr 1 wants thats the problem hope u understand now

i've just edited my last post above, sorry my bad ^^v
unfortunately that's all i do to send contact to another numbers. I think that it's more complicated by composing a new message for sending contact details to another person (imho) well, u have to edit the contact details, and then copy and paste his number and another information to the new message

ok good atleast now i know how to do it i was reading and writing nums and then sending, really bad in rememebering numbers.

i think this is already resolved nowadays by choosing the insert text option when sending SMS. then choose contact and select the number. that's it

[Q] Caller name in SMS and Phone

Hi. I have a problem with any SMS App and Dialers, hope you could help.
(Note that I have searched lot for this on the net lot of people are reporting he same but no real solution)
In My country Phone numbers are 8 digits (2 area code + 2 Phone Number). Some area codes start with 0. I store the numbers as follows:03xxxxxx in phone book. When a message is received it's received with country code ahead of the number:ex. if country code is 876 then number would be 8763xxxxxx - (Att that the 0 is removed). hence the SMS app doesnt recognize the contact name. If I store the Numbers as 8763xxxxxx then SMS app will show the name properly but then the Dialer application wouldn't find the contact name since when receiving a call, the local number is shown without the country code(i.e 03xxxxxx).
I don't have the problem with contacts in area code not starting with 0.
Could you please advise where is the problem since I see other android phones(like Samsung) dont have this issue.
I have Desire HD.
Thanks

maybe it will help if you try to replace your phonebook app with some other at market?

Or you could go through your phonebook and have all your contacts listed with 2 numbers. One with the 0 and one without it. It's a pain but it would fix all of it.

[Q] SMS app that indicates received/sent?

Got a Desire Z with Cyanogenmod 7.
The SMS app displays only with whom I was in contact but it does not indicate if I received the SMS from that person or if I sent it.
I tried a couple apps from market but they were all alike, including GO, Pansi, one other I already forgot. (Plus they had tons of features I don't need, ad supported. I need something *simple*.)
Suggestions appreciated.

I don't really get what you are asking for. Sms to and from one person are grouped in conversation. You can see which sms you sent by looking at the alignment of the person's picture (or placeholder for that). If you wrote it, its right-aligned.

I believe the OP is asking like the other NON-Smart phone SMS display like you see messages in folders with Inbox and Sent items.
Well in android, I have no need for that coz grouping is the next generation and much logically displays your logical conversation.
Still you can do all your SMS tasks with this.
Did you try Handcent sms app?

Verizon Wireless and Google Voice?

I've decided that I no longer want to pay for text messaging, since apps can replicate the function.
Essentially what I want to do is, drop text messaging, and use Voxer instead. But I also want to be able to text the few friends that don't have a smartphone. This is where I think Google Voice can help.
I'd also like to get a new number, since my current is from my old home (I've moved). Is it possible to get a new number, but port my current to Google Voice in order to still receive and send texts to dumbphone friends without having to give out a new number? I can set up call forwarding too, so that I don't have to tell anyone my new number, but people can still call and text me.
Can this be done? If not, what are some other options I could be overlooking? I can't simply port my number to Google and go from there, my contract will be terminated. I'm grandfathered into unlimited data, which I want to hold onto as long as possible.
