Has anyone figured out how to sync multiple Google calendars??

Has anyone figured out how to sync multiple Google calendars?? - Microsoft Surface

I tried following the Windows Phone guide, but that didn't work. I'm going nuts over this

This works for Windows 8
(Preform form a desktop\Laptop)
Someone posted a working solution on Microsoft Answers:
Download User Agent Switcher from the Chrome Webstore
Select an iOS device
Go to http://m.google.com/sync
Deactivate Javascript in Settings (Show advanced settings, Content settings)
Click your Windows Mail device
In the URL change supportMultipleCalendars=false to supportMultipleCalendars=true
Submit URL (Press Enter)
Save
Readd your Google Account to your Windows Calendar app. It now works.

This didn't work me. I had to just export the calendar from Google and then import it via my email account on outlook.com.

This has worked well for me. You must do this from another device of course.

the google sync site should work for all, you just need a UA change to a mobile device (or a mobile device) to get to the site so you can change which calendars sync

I dont get any advanced settings option when I open the mobile site with iOS, I only have; Enable "Send Mail As" for this device.
Enable "Delete Email As Trash" for this device.
Help?

You need to change the URL to set "supportMultipleCalendars=true" and reload the page with that parameter. You need to disable Javascript because the Javascript controls keep you from selecting multiple calendars. Turning off that check lets you select all of the calendars. Don't know why there's that restriction as it's pretty clearly an artificial one, but the steps above work when you follow all of them.

I had this problem too and the only way I got around it was by unsubscribing from some of the calendars I had on Google and refreshing the page. Then just resubscribing. I don't know why that worked but it did.

Hotmail: please enable cookies?

I use PIE (WM6) and I want to login at www.hotmail.com to check my email (because with my telecom provider I need to use a proxy server to get on the internet, so I can’t use Windows Live), but every time I get the message: please enable cookies. And then the Windows live website gives an example how to enable cookies for IE 6 and firefox… So probably Microsoft doesn’t even recognizes his own PIE?!?
I get this message after I filled in my username and password and click on the login button.
Btw, I already activated the option “allow cookies” in PIE.
Can you login at www.hotmail.com using PIE (WM6)?
If yes, what settings do I have to apply?Hotmail: please enable cookies?

try this instead:
http://mobile.msn.com

Thanks, but then PIE closes itself?!?
I go to http://mobile.msn.com and click on hotmail.
Then PIE is Locating and opening it. But while opening it (I don't see anything on the screen yet) suddenly PIE closes itself....
How can I solve this?

Auto downlod email pictures

Is there a registery entry to make the email auto download the pictures instead of always saying "internet pictures blocked" ? Ive searched but dont find anything in the search related to this. Thanks

Have you tried selecting download attachments. Open your mail program, select tools, options. Select download attachment and uncheck the second box that limits download size.

That doesn't do it. The problem is Outlook blocks images from HTML messages by default. I haven't found a fix for this but I haven't really looked for one yet.

I'd like to have that as a default too... so far I've not found a registry key that covers this (YET!)
I suspect theres a similar switch for the "Tap to Scroll Right" function too.
The search continues!

When I try this, I don't see the download attachments and download size boxes. I am running Mobile Vista v1.3 by Confused Stu which WM 6.1 bases. Could these options have moved somewhere else or is there another way to get to them.
thanks

Ya i figure that there has to be something somewhere that could be changed to auto download. I just have not stuided the registery on a WM device enough to know where and what to change.

Hi Bill. The option's there - go into Mail and then Menu > Tools > Options. Select the e-mail account and follow the screens through until you see E-mail, Tasks, Contacts, etc. Select E-mail, then click Settings and you should see the bit at the bottom where you can select to auto-download attachments, and specify a maximum size to download. That's on my Exchange e-mail account, I'm pretty sure POP3/IMAP is a similar path, but I can't test for the moment as I'm in the middle of flashing/testing.
Cheers.

I wish it was this simple but it isn't - the issue isn't attachments, it's MS' Vista way of life "Everything is DANGEROUS, I must ASK YOU if you REALLY WANT TO DO THIS!" Everyone's asking this question on 6.1, haven't found an answer yet...

Sorry mate, wasn't meaning that as the answer to the OP question (I looked at the thread hoping to get the answer! This bugs me too) - just answering fergusonwilliam's question a few posts before.
I do agree Vista's "ask, then ask in a louder voice" is annoying (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80sWifG40B0 made me smile) but it's needed because too many users just click OK to every box without reading it! Yes, I work in IT Desktop troubleshooting....
Sorry, back on topic - anyone got any idea if MS left a backdoor to get around the blocking of pictures in HTML e-mails?

Ya but in Desktop Vista you can turn off the Stupid Ask, Ask again, Then ask some more. I used to like the Mac commercial About the Accept Deny.

I have tried to look through but there are alot of posts and don't know how exactly to look this up but I need to know how to fix something with my internet. I have yahoo mail and don't use the xpressmail with at&t. I try to go to my normal mail.yahoo.com and it goes to the mobile version. I hate mobile versions of the websites. The yahoo version won't let you do anything other than text. No attachments or anything.
I need to just view full webpages. How do I change the settings to view them only? (saw something on at&t website but don't understand it and some people said it didn't work)
Second, I need to know how to allow for just the swirl zoom and not the tap zoom. When I open and it goes to landscape it gets rid of the swirl zoom on the internet and will only use the tap way to zoom. I don't like that way. I prefer the zoom by the d pad.
Third, If I am looking at playing alot of video and going to start getting some games on my fuze and wanted to know if I should change my display settings to something else that will make it look better. I remember on my last one(yes I had to replace one) somehow I got to display settings and they had options to change to xvga, vga, etc. Isn't Vga the best or is it set at the best as the default. Granted it looks good the way it is but I want the best for when I start doing video. And how do I get to it? I was looking around for it and can't find it anywhere now.
Also I was looking on what gps program to get. I was looking at the tomtom and was wondering what people thought of it. And what version would I need to get? Would you recommend a different one like garmin?
Sorry if these are double posts.

70 views and no answers and already to the 3rd page. Can anyone help me on this? No one on the at&t have replied and no one has here either.
Please help me, I'm having issues and need them fixed right away.

1. Go to the Opera configuration page (replace "http://<whatever>" with "opera:config" -- without the quotes). Scroll down to "Proxy" and open that section by clicking on it. Make sure that the entries for "HTTP Server" and "HTTPS server" are empty and hit "Save" at the bottom of the section. Then scroll down to "User Agent," open that, set "Spoof UserAgent ID" to 3, and hit "Save." Finally, scroll down to "User Prefs," open it, set "Custom User-Agent" to "Mozilla/4.0(compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 6.0; en)" (again, without the quotes), and save it. That may be overkill; someone posted, for instance, that you get the same results by simply deleting the Custom User-Agent string instead of setting it to the value above. I haven't tried that. All I can say is that this combination of settings shows me the full web pages for all the sites I normally visit. YMMV.
2. No clue.
3. The display on the Fuze is 640x480 pixels, otherwise known as VGA resolution. A video encoded for VGA resolution will have the maximum sharpness of which the Fuze is capable. It may not be the best viewing experience, though, depending on what you are using on the Fuze to play the video and how it was encoded (the codec used, frame rate, etc.) -- you may experience performance problems such as "tearing," dropped frames, stuttering, etc. There's a lot of discussion currently about what's the best encoding for the Fuze, better drivers, the best player and settings therefor, etc. It's not a settled question nor an exact science. (I don't know what you mean by "How do I get to it?")
4. I use a free over-the-air turn-by-turn navigation service from amazegps.com. I think it does an excellent job for my needs. If you want to buy one, though, you should definitely consider OnCourse Navigator 8 (OCN8). I haven't used it, but the reviews I've seen are very enthusiastic.

I don't use Yahoo mail, but I see the normal HTML view of Gmail -- not the mobile version -- in Opera, using the settings I gave in the preceding message.

Try accessing your email from The Skyfire browser until someone outlines a full fox for you..

You can try using messaging/pocket outlook
You can also add Yahoo! Mail to messaging/pocket outlook, I have 4 accounts set up in pocket outlook/messaging GMail, Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail and my works exchange mail. I would suggest setting these up with imap settings over pop3 settings.
GMail has instructions for this pretty much step my step. Yahoo! doesn't officially support imap on wm devices but i am using an imap server settings. Its a little tricky to get set up because WM likes to grab settings for pop3 first. You can by pass this by putting in a different domain [email protected], [email protected] and then proceed to manually set up the accounts. If you have OCD then you can fix the email address after you have finished setting it up in pocket outlook/messaging.
GMail
incoming mail server (imap)
imap.gmail.com
user name is your full email address.
outgoing mail server
smtp.gmail.com
check box outgoing server requires authentication
check box use same user name and password
Advanced settings(link on page where you put in outgoing mail server info)
check box require ssl for incoming
check box require ssl for outgoing
Yahoo!
incoming mail server (imap)
imap.next.mail.yahoo.com (it works!)
user name is your yahoo login name (ex abc)
outgoing mail server
smtp.mail.yahoo.com
check box outgoing server requires authentication
check box use same user name and password
Advanced settings(link on page where you put in outgoing mail server info)
check box require ssl for incoming
check box require ssl for outgoing
For Hotmail to work you have to install a cab (for stock Fuze rom)otherwise it will direct you to a web based version.
Setting the accounts up in messaging will also allow you to preview messages in the TF3d email tab.

I tried this and it still comes up on opera as the mobile version. So Wish I knew how to fix this. Now media net isn't my homepage. And media net won't even show up. Still need a fix then. I may have to just use xpressmail if I can't find a fix.
Can anyone tell me what the default settings are so I can go back to the way it was. Until there is a fix that works.

Sorry; it's been a couple of weeks since I did this so I had forgotten that it disabled MEdia net. (Personally I couldn't care less about MEdia net, so it was no loss at all for me to exchange that for seeing full web sites; that's why I forgot about it.) I don't know why your web site still comes up as the mobile version; as I said, this does the trick for all the sites I use.

well, Is there any way to get the settings back, cause it didn't fix the issue and want to go back then. I want to keep medianet. i may have to do express mail after all, since no one knows how to fix it for atleast yahoo mail.

I've just spent a few minutes searching through the forum and can't find the post that I remember where someone gave the original settings for those configuration items; maybe it was on some other board. In any event, the best I can suggest is that if no one tells you what the original settings were, you can make a backup using Sprite backup; hard reset the device; go to opera:config and write down the original settings; restore the backup; and then change the settings to what you wrote down from the fresh boot.

I found the post I was thinking of over on the AT&T forum. That only addresses the proxy server names, but I think that may be all you need to get back to MEdia Net. HTH.

Than fixed it but wish I could figure out what is the problem with yahoo mail and how to fix the whole mobile website thing.

I had the same issue with the zoom wheel. Not sure if this is what fixed it but, in Opera goto Settings - Dispaly. Check Auto Full Screen, Show Images & Block Pop-ups. Uncheck Mobile view.
Has been working correctly since.

This is in the "Settings" choice on the menu you get when you hit the button at the lower right of the screen and then hit the "menu" icon (the one furthest to the right at the bottom of the screen).

I just tried that too.The menu-display. the mobile view isn't checked and I still get the mobile view of the darn yahoo mail. Still don't know how to fix it and I believe paypal is the same.

Yeah, the "mobile display" option controls how Opera sizes and formats pages; it doesn't affect which page (mobile or regular) is being accessed. I don't know how Yahoo mail, etc., are detecting the Fuze as a mobile device; the user agent and proxy fixes take care of many/most pages, but there's obviously something else.

Windows Mobile 6.5 Imap Folders

I was doing some googling and this is as good a place as any to find users who have a clue.. so Im wondering if anyone has had this problem or a workaround.
I have a SE X1 (winmo 6.1) I configured my imap mail perfectly, but the only folders my device download from is the Inbox. I have other folders that I use to sort mail into (via mail rules on my desktop).. which are not downloading mail at all. I can see them listed, but they all show empty.
I was hoping this would be fixed in winmo 6.5, so I upgraded my X1 to 6.5 and the problem still exists. Has anyone else managed a workaround to synce other folders.. to clarify in the diagram below .. is an example of my structure .. in the example I am not getting mail in my client 1 or client 2 folder
Imap - Inbox
- Sent
- Client 1
- Client 2
- etc...
I hope that makes sense

Hi
I've got the same problem. If anyone has an answer...
Furthermore, the folders of my pocket outlook, like "sent messages" are created in my web mail account (like yahoo), because the name of theses folders (sent, trash...) are not the same.

UP!
I also have the same issue...
May be somebody can give an alternative?

Sync other folder
You can sync any folder you wish by selecting it as a managed folder. To do so follow these steps.
1. Open your mail box.
2. Click the options button and select Tools
3. Select Managed folders
4. Select each folder you wish to sync then click ok
The next time you send and receive mail the folder will be synchronized.
I had this same problem and just recently discovered this solution. In my case I would send a message from my Yahoo email account and although it would tell me it was sent, I would have no verification after the fact. It was not listed on my device in the sent folder nor was it listed via the website in the sent folder. I had to send a test to another one of my email accounts to verify the send funciton was actually working.
PLEASE NOTE: You should make sure your sent folder is fairly clean before syncing. I did not clean it first and it had to sync over 300 messages from that one folder.

I have tried this, but it appears that only allows the sync via activesync and not via the normal internet connection (ie when you are not connected to your pc) .. am I missing something ?

This is the way to do it on Win MO 6.1 - I have this set up on Blackstone.
Unfortunately on HD2 (6.5) I can not find Tools and manage folders choice.
Anybody knows where it is hidden?
FOUND IT!
Before someone else spends hours looking - Disable Sense, go to win standard GUI - all settings are there. Same thing with repeat sound in alarm.... GUI is hiding settings!!!!
Why HTC thinks they know what I want to see and adjust?
Often I do not want it the way I want it!!!!

I think you'll find that the option is there, it's just not immediately obvious that one needs to scroll down.
From your home tab, do the following:
Email tab
Inbox (left soft key)
Menu
At this stage it APPEARS that 'Go to >' is the last menu item. It actually isn't. If you scroll down you will reveal 'Tools' 'Select Messages' and 'Send via Bluetooth' .
'Manage folders' is in the 'Tools' sub menu.
No need to disable Sense.

Cannot download messages from server over IMAP
Hello,
I would like to ask you for some help because I cannot find a solution to my problem and I really appreciate your expertise.
So, here is the problem:
Facts.
I have 2 email accounts:
- the main business account running on a IceWarp Merak 9.x server
- a personal account running on Gmail server.
Problem.
If I receive on both addresses (servers) the same html e-mail witch contains formatted text and pictures, then using the native e-mail messaging client of my Windows Mobile 6.5 HTC smartphone, here is what I get:
- on the main business account the message cannot be seen. What I see from the message is only BODY.PEEK[2]
- on the Gmail account I can see the full message, exactly as I can see it on my desktop.
I played with all the settings from „Message download limit” and „Download attachments„ for the main business account, in order to get it working. Here is what I found:
- any settings for „Download attachments„ does not change the behavior, the result is the same (BODY.PEEK[2])
- for „Message download limit” if I choose „Headers only”, download headers and then mark the message for download it is working. But this means that I should connect twice – more bandwidth and more time spent until get the messages. If I choose any other option except the above mentioned, I get the bad result BODY.PEEK[2]...
This problem is very annoying because I cannot read my business mails if I'm out of the office.
What do you think?
It is a server problem (IceWarp Merak 9.x)?
Or the native messaging client from Windows Mobile 6.5?
Can you help me to solve this problem?
Looking forward for your reply,
Best regards,
Stefan

[Q] Homescreen Contact Shortcut defaults

Does anyone know how to change the defaults for a homescreen contact shortcut?
When you click the shortcut to a contact on the homescreen, several options come up at the top of the screen depending on what methods of communication you have for that person: Phone, Contact details, Text, Email, Map...
If there is more than one option for a particular communication method (say, you have both corporate email and gmail setup, when you click on the email icon, it will ask you which to use. When you click on "set default" it will always use what you chose.
Problem is, I chose the wrong method when I clicked "set default" and now I can't change it back. It wants to use my corporate account to send with rather than my gmail accound. And since it pulls up corporate email when you click on the email icon, it won't let you change the "from" to anything other than a corporate (exchange) account. (I have 2, and both show up, but not gmail.)
Anyway, it's a long read, but I was hoping someone knew how to reset the default.
I have tried:
- removing/recreating the shortcut
- changing my default email method in email accounts
- changing contact detailsm addresses, etc
Any help?

I am not sure if I am understanding your question(s) exactly correct. Try these and see if it helps.
Answer to your first question.
1. Click on contact shortcut.
2. Select "contacts" icon.
3. Press "menu" button to bring up options
4. select "Mark as default"
From here you can select all the default contact numbers, emails and addresses.
If I understood your last question, this should help.
1. Launch email app.
2. Long click on account you want to make default.
3. Scroll down and select "account settings"
4. There should be a selection (4th one down) for "Default Account". Check the radio button.
The default account should not be switched to the currently selected email account.

Answer to your first question.
1. Click on contact shortcut.
2. Select "contacts" icon.
3. Press "menu" button to bring up options
4. select "Mark as default"
From here you can select all the default contact numbers, emails and addresses.
If I understood your last question, this should help.
1. Launch email app.
2. Long click on account you want to make default.
3. Scroll down and select "account settings"
4. There should be a selection (4th one down) for "Default Account". Check the radio button.
The default account should not be switched to the currently selected email account.

Okay, this will set the default for that contact, but I guess what I am missing is the Gmail icon in the list of contact options when I click on the shortcut.
I want to send from my Gmail account to this contact rather than from corporate, but there doesn't seem to be a way to make Gmail my default...
This has me thinking now... maybe I need to drop and recreate the contact in google contacts and remove from my corporate contacts.

So you want to add an extra menu item for gmail in the shortcut drop down menu?
Not sure how you would do this but I think it's a good idea.

I overcame this by adding my gmail as an account for the email manger instead of using the gmail specific application that comes with android. Now when I launch the email app I get a list of 3 accounts (gmail, hotmail, corporate). The currently default account has a check next to it. I have mine on gmail during the weekend and corporate during the week (Tasker FTW). The downside to this is that gmail seems to run a bit slower at times (few seconds) when syncing but not enough to make me change it back. I like having all the accounts in one place with the same management and notifications.

...just read the post again...I think i get it!
You want your default outgoing account to be based on the specific contact?
As in:
You email Joe Smith with gmail by default and Jane Andrews with corporate by default without making changes to account settings.
