[Q] WP7 SMS Issue - General Questions and Answers

Hey up
Strange windows phone 7 issue
Running latest mango build
Basically I had an exchange account and had my contacts from Facebook also linked.
But then I swapped from kernio hosted exchange to actual ms exchange on another service.
So deleted email account and recreated it.
Ofcourse links needed relinking. So I did this once I setup new service. Was stilll using same email address
But then I noticed that my texts all went out of sack
I have a contact called bob. Bob has all texts.
Then after this change bob texts me but it starts a new thread.
Which is not ideal.
How can I solve this?
As all fb links are in place and would have thought wp7 would check the phone numbers to link sms!
As this is gonna suck otherwise.
Help!

Bump, as this is now getting annoying

Email Questions

First - thanks to everyone at xda for all the tips and help - what a great site!
Now don't laugh when I say that I have a T-Mobile (Danger) Sidekick. I have been happy with it but I want to replace my SK and my Pocket PC with one device instead of two.
With my Sidekick, I got a separate [email protected] account. My email came through without me checking it and I could also receive and send from some other accounts (like my personal earthlink account) The email came through without me having to check for it. (I don't know of it was push or pull but it works quite well)
I am seriously considering getting a Fuze but have some questions about email:
1 - Does AT&T give you a separate email address?
2 - I have read that I can get my personal earthlink as well as gmail and yahoo mail on the Fuze but do I need to have AT&T's "express mail" to get it?
Thanks so much.
To my knowledge, at&t doesnt give you an email address. You could use gmail with the gmail app or through opera, but im not sure if theres an app that would work with the touchflo 3d tab. If you have a live account you can use windows live mail and that does work with the tf3D tab. Im not sure about earthlink or gmail though. Hope that helps.
att gives you an email address, but it's *your phone number*@att.mywireless.com or something like that.
you can also get a media net email address.
with the fuze, my yahoo mail is pushed to my phone at the sametime it appears in my web browser (if i am online at the time)
i also have active synch synch up to my corporate exchange server email using https
Thanks for the replies.
I don't have an AT&T account (yet) and I do not use Outlook for email so I am unfamiliar with both.
I still don't understand: what exactly does AT&T's "express mail" do? Will I need it in order to get my earthlink mail on a Fuze? I know I can check mail through the web browser but will the WM email client receive my earthlink email automatically or do I have to manually check for it?

50 email limit - Windows Live Hotmail

Hey all,
I have a HTC Touch phone through Bell and have my hotmail account setup on it to receive emails from my account. The problem I am having is that it will only allow me to see the latest 50 emails.
Does anyone know how to change this value? Is there a registry hack/setting/etc that can be changed?
I saw one "solution", which was setting up your account through outlook instead, but then there isn't push, and that's why I use it.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
There is no solution to this as far as i am aware. I am using a different client to push hotmail to my trinity and had the same issue. All i could see was the top 50 messages in my inbox, as newer ones were deleted then older ones would synch across. Checking with them it was confirmed that the 50 message limit was imposed by Microsoft.

i am Sooooooo frustrated.
i thought i finally found the answer to my problems in windows live.
My wm6.1 phone is SOOOOOO unreliable when i need it to download/send emails.
I set up a hotmail account and configured windows live on my phone only to find out that i can only SEE MY LATEST 50 EMAILS!!!
WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS?!?!?!?!?
They create a solution to smtp/imap/pop3 problems in windows live and then they make it unusable for ANYONE!
What other solutions are available?
I will never purchase another windows mobile phone again. Apparently this has been a problem for a long time and they have yet to address it...
ugh

This isn't a windows mobile problem but a MS Live problem.

really annoying issue with gmail, help plz!

Hey guys,
I tried to find a solution for this...havent found one yet. I have 2 gmail accounts synced on my captivate (running perception 10). One of the accounts is a google apps account the goes with the email extension [email protected] Now ever since I added this account on my captivate all the mail shows up read on the phone and on the online gmail client. All new mail shows up as read and it is really turning into a problem because it is my work account and I need to know about the new emails as they come. I have tried reflashing, removing the account and adding it again and nothing has worked so far. Any one have any possible solutions?
I am having problems with g mail as well. It will not send emails out but I can receive with no problems. I tried the email client built into the phone and it sends out just fine.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

are you using outlook (or any other client) to pull in mail from this address? My wife had this same exact issue and we had to change her gmail pop settings to "keep gmail's copy in the inbox" as opposed to "mark gmail's copy as read", which was set originally. So when Outlook pulled her emails in, it marks gmail's copy as read causing her phone's copy to be marked as read.
hope this helps.

[Q] Issue with email program.

I have an issue where my Transformers email program deletes read emails. This happens if I open an email and then if I download newer messages the read email will be gone. I understand that the old emails from the bottom of the list will disappear when downloading fresh email but surely not fresh read mail that were downloaded an hour or so ago.
I understand that in the incoming server settings you can set it so you delete emails from the mail server as well as the Transformer but this is a seperate issue.
Anyone else have this issue? Anyone know how to fix? Are there any other alternative mail programs I can use?
Neil
I reckon you have a setting incorrect somewhere as mine dont delete themselves, and ive got 5 email accounts running through it. None are getting deleted.
An alternative app for you might be K9Mail, available free from the market.

Hi Neil,
Can you gives a little bit more info? What is the email account? Is it IMAP or POP3?
What do you mean "deleted"? Have you checked with another means on the server to confirm? Or is it that you can't see them on the transformer email client?
rio
The email account is pop3. When I say deleted I mean from the transformer, I read an email then go back to inbox and download new email then the email I have just read will have disappeared.
Tomorrow I will try this same mail account as IMAP and see how that works.
I don't think the messages are being deleted from the server, again I will check this tomorrow when I return home from work.
Neil
Ok it seems as though the transformer didn't like my POP3 account, changed to IMAP and it seems fine after a quick test.

[Q] MyTouch 4G Receives Mail but Never Sends Mail (ActiveSync)

My work email comes into my phone through Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. Most of it works fine - my calendar and contacts are synched, and I get my mail fine. But, I cannot send, forward, or reply to any of my work emails. My coworkers are starting to think I don't like them
From reading other forums, this has been a continuing problem with MT4G. I really don't want to have to buy touchdown just so I can do my job. What I really want is for my phone to work the way it should. The most recent post I've seen online is a quote from HTC stating that "their Android devices do not support Exchange 2010". Is this true?
I found a posting on TMobile that gives instructions for adding an Exchange e-mail account using manual setup. Will this solve the problem?
I'd rather not delete this email account and then re-install it manually if it isn't going to help the problem. Help?
