Error Message when trying to send attachments w/ PPC2003

I finally managed to send and receive e-mails using my ISP's POP3 account. All fine with plain text. The moment I try to attach ANY file with any size I get the following error message:
Message attachment cannot be added. Check to make sure the correct storage card is in the device. If your device stores attachments on a storage card, you must insert a storage card to add any files to messages"
Aside of this being a very enlighting message, the files I`ve been tryimg to add as attachments were residing on my main memory in the my documents folder!!!
Any clues???
Michael

is it set to store attachments on the sdcard ?
if it is then i suspect that it require a sdcard even if the files you add are not from the sdcard
because attachments of the outbox will prob still be stores on the sdcard

Yeah, I have a SDCard. But I get the message when trying to send attachments from the SD Card or from the Mai Memory. I haven't unchecked the "store on sd card" option. Will do that and try again!
Thanks

Hi everyone!
Anybody has a guess as to how send attachments with the I-mate?

Hy all.
I have the same problem.
The first time the message appeared was after upgrading to 1.72 rom.
Now I have changed to 2003se but still I cannot send mails with attachments (even if I try to store them in my sd).
Any help, please?

Impossible to send e-mail Attachments over a GPRS Connection
Hi Folks
After a long abscense and several hick-ups I finally managed to get ROM1.72 up and running. Almost turned my I-mate to paper weight! BUT.. Still can't send any e-mail with attachments. Does anybody have a clue?
Cheers!
Michael

Hi everyone,
I had the same problem and after a bit of experimentation, and getting really annoyed :x I managed to fix the problem on my device - as I really couldn't be bothered doing a hard reset.
Open up Pocket dbExplorer and delete the pmailAttachs database
I'd suggest you take a copy of the pmailAttachs database first - so you can restore it if this method doesn't work for you
MCEITLIN, you're saying that after a hard reset (assumed since you changed ROM versions) it still didn't work? If so are you performing any kind of restore, for files or anything?
Hope this helps.....
btw....depending on your settings I'd suggest disabling the 'store attachments on storage card' option first - just incase this is also a factor.

Error sending e-mail attachments
I found the file PmailAttachs but I have no means to either copy it, cut it or erase it. Do I need a special tool for that?
Neither exploroe nor Pocket explorer or Sprite's Pocket Monitor aloow me to reach the file!
Cheers
Michael

Pocket dbExplorer allows you to delete databases - as well as editing them. Remember to take a backup of the database just in case
You can get a free 15 day trial from here: http://www.phatware.com/download/dbExplorer22.exe

Thanx for this tip! It worked like a charm on my Qtek 9090!

Thanks, that solution also fixed the problem for me with M1000. Now can send attachments using pop3 gmail account.
Good bit of detective work there, Webspider. I was about to give up on this one.

Glad this has helped people
I suppose now the only problem is making sure that you don't charge up a huge GPRS bill....lol
I know I use about 3 or 4MB a day...so glad my data is FREE

Cheers WebSpider - You're a star!

I have this problem but cannot find the file - could someone please tell me where to look?

Hi there,
although i deleted the file, i still have sending-attachments problem (on Qtek 2020i with wm2003). Any ideas?
so be it - manemoi

Backup Contacts

Any recommendations for software that'll backup my contacts? I really don't want to install Outlook, and I don't want to just copy them to SIM as this screws up the names and other stuff, as the SIM only holds a short name and 1 number.
I'm shutting the door after the horse has bolted here, as I just had to do a hard reset and have lost all my contacts that I've had for years.
I don't want to backup anything else, just contacts - preferably in a format that allows me to restore them exactly as there are: First Name, Last Name, Home, Mobile, Work numbers, e-mail addy, etc.
Thanks

New Version of PPcBckpContacts available

I made a tool for that long time ago, called PPCBckpContacts. This tool allows to backup/restore the contacts from/to any ppc running WM2005 or WM2003SE. Because the format of the DB changed between the 2 OS, two versions of the tool have been made.
The tool creates a .csv file, that you can edit in Excel.
**************************************************************************
Update in v1.6 :
- Removed the SD card presence check, now all backups can be saved wherever you want.
**************************************************************************
Update in v1.5 :
- Speed Dials backup/restore (.csd)
- Tasks backup/restore (.cst)
- Appointments backup/restore (.csa)
- Call Logs backup/restore (.csl)
Each backup type has its own file type (see above). Caution I changed the extension from previous versions for contacts (.csc). These 5 extensions are associated to the program, so they can be restored via explorer directly.
**************************************************************************
Update in v1.4 :
- fix for the notes (the contact notes were successfully exported to the csv file, but the import didn't work) (thanks lvlx for detecting the bug).
- VGA aware
Cheers,
.Fred

Thank You!
Thank You this will save me a LOT of time if my phone needs to be reset again. I have already had to redo my contact list twice because I don't use Outlook (and let me tell you, it is NOT fun).

will this take all contacts of my sim so i can resend them to be on my actual device.

Nope, the contacts are taken from the pim database. I don't think the contacts from the SIM are stored in the PIM db.

That, sir, is brilliant - thank you.

I've signed up for a free exchange account at mail2web: http://live.mail2web.com/
This means you can get all your contacts back by just running active sync and a gprs or wifi connection. A good backup even if you have Outlook as it's remote and doesn't depend on your pc!

Just copy the pim.vol to SD card
A quick and effective backup method is to copy the pim.vol in the root directory to your SD card. I used this method when flashing my rom. You'll need to use Totalcommander to change the rights of the file after flashing because it's read-only, then copy the pim.vol from the SD to the root directory and reset and all should be well.
All credit to the original poster of the tip. I don't remember where I got it from either either here or howardforums.

I completely agree with you except that it seems there is an incompatibility between the versions before AKU 3.2 and the ones after AKU 3.2
BTW In only tested AKU 2.3 and AKU 3.2, so I can't tell for the other versions.
I always copy the pim.vol to my SD card, but when I upgraded to AKU 3.2, I couldn't use my pim.vol, the contacts application just opens then closes directly.
The only solution I had, was to copy the pim.vol in the emulator on my pc and use PPcBckpContacts to have the backup, then I could restore my contacts on my ppc.
Cheers,
.Fred

Use SKTools 3.0 ("SIM Contacts") to mass-copy the contacts to the central Contacts DB; then you can alsready export them.

Same problem here - it's not compatible. I've also elaborated on this problem in the Backup Bible ( http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1270&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 ).

Nice one Fred.
Is there a way you could develop this programme further to backup & restore calendar/previous call log/speed dial data probably found pim.vol ?
I tried copying pim.vol like you did and got the same error message when upgraded roms.
Thanks again for creating this cool utility.

For call log & speed dial, I need to study RIL protocol and MDAIIIUser already asked me to have a look, and I will see when I get time. For calendar, sms, emails it shouldn't be too difficult... But I need time, and I don't have a lot!

BTW, could you write a similar tool to all PIM databases? Then, your app would be unique - not even the latest version of SKTools is able to restore this kind of stuff.
I'll also post a news item to the PPCMag blog / on all PPC sites on this utility.

Great idea and a potential life and time saver .Fred But how about a little instruction, and more information on your program Sir. Must it run from the device, or can it be run from the pc so long as the pim.vol file is available on the pc? Is it intrusive, eg will it cause any harm to the pim.vol db when it runs? Does it properly include ALL phone numbers, and notes for each contact in the resulting .csv file? Etc, etc.
I didn't see a reference to your own tool in the BackupBible but I have to admit I didn't read it thoroughly. If it is there and you could direct me to it that would be great. Very informative article btw.
Thank You,
Tref

Hey dotfred
i liked the backup application PPCBckpContacts, you made? whattools did you use to write the application?

PPCContactsMgr v1.6

Description: PPCContactsMgr is a plugin for the Outlook contacts. It allows to select multiple contacts at once for deletion. Now it allows also to add phone numbers from calls history and received SMS. And recently, beam several contacts and add several contacts to SIM.
Version 1.6
A lot of people asked me if it was possible to beam several contacts at once or add several contacts to the SIM card at once and voila... It's possible now.
- Add Selected contacts to SIM
- Beam Selected contacts
Version 1.5
- added # and * in valid characters (requested by Bigix)
- application is translatable
Bigix wanted this tool to be translated in italian. So we worked together in order to have the tool translated.
Now everybody can have this tool in its own language thanks to mui resource dlls.
Here in attachment is the french version available.(Bigix will probably provide the italian version)
Both files (PPCContactsMgr.dll and PPCContactsMgr.dll.[LCID].mui) should be put in the \Windows directory.
The mui resource dll is just a resource dll containing all the strings used in the application.
Just use a resource editor (http://www.btinternet.com/~wilsoncpw/xn_resourceeditor_setup.exe) and translate the strings in your language. (See attached text file)
The number in hexadecimal in the mui resource dll filename is the default language id used on the pda.
for italia it is:410
for france it is: 40C
All LCIDs can be found here : http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/win2k/setup/lcid.mspx
If no mui is provided, the default resource strings from PPCContactsMgr.dll are used. (So English)
Version 1.4
Shows calls where the sender or number field is empty.
Version 1.3
2 menus items have been added to the standard menu and to the contact summary menu. (requested by lvlx)
- Add Phone From Calls History
- Add Phone From SMS
When you receive a phone call, or an SMS, you probably want to store the sender to the contacts, this is already possible. But often the contact already exists and you want to add a new number. This is what these new functions do.
Version 1.0 -> 1.2:
2 menus items have been added to the standard menu.
- Select All Contacts
- Delete Selected Contacts
If you select multiple contacts with the stylus, you will be capable of deleting them.
Cheers
ps.: the cab file should be copied on the ppc and installed from there. The PPCContactsMgr.dll (plugin) is installed in the windows directory (/Windows)
Cheers,
.Fred
ps.: cab file is in zip file, also reg file and dll (if you don't want to use the cab file). Some screenshots can be found in the zip as well.
pps.: if PPCContactsMgr is already installed, in order to upgrade it, poutlook.exe shouldn't run.

If I don't use the CAB File how do I uninstall this?

What do you mean outlook.exe must not run how do I turn it off?

1) Just use my Task Manager, select the processes tab, look for poutlook.exe, select it and click on terminate. If the process can't be closed, it will be killed.
2) In order to uninstall the plugin
a) "terminate" poutlook.exe
b) delete the PPCContactsMgr.dll located in \Windows
c) in the zip file, there is the reg file for the plugin, so use a reg editor, to remove the keys found in that file.
Cheers,

Great Stuff DotFred!
I use your Taskmanager v2.3 and ContactsManager v1.2 in my Roms, I will update my Roms with this new version of this little app, it's great!
If I want to upgrade it wihout using the CAB, I only need to replace the .dll file and add the new Registry settings to my Rom? Is this correct?
Thanks a lot,

very good idea, it was selly to add the contact as unknown contact then copy the no to the original contact then delete the unkonw caller, thanks i am trying and i will feed you back.

Dear Dotfred
i have tried to add a phone no from call history but it displayes only the no's already saved with my contacts. Also i have tried to add a no. from sms i sent not one i received but it is only displayes the sms's i recieved.

You're right, if one of the fields sender or number is empty, I don't show the call, it will be fixed in next release.

Bug fixed?
Frederic - I have had a bug with PPCContactsMgr and I was wondering if it was fixed in this new version. To reproduce the bug, go to Contacts, filter to a contact using the letters on the top of the screen. Now if I choose that contact using the middle select hardware button, or by pushing my Talk hardware button, it actually chooses the first contact in my list. Now if I filter again, it works fine. It's only the first time that it does this. The other related bug is if I hold down on the pad and let it scroll through the letters. When it gets to the letter I want, and I select the contact, it actually selects a different contact.
Does this new version fix this bug? I would test it, but I'm running Molski's AKU 2.3 ROM and I'm not sure if I can update it since the PPCContactsMgr.dll is integrated into the ROM.
Thanks...Brian

Hi Brian,
I don't think this is to do with PPCContactsMgr, the only thing it does is subclassing the outlook window in order to change the style of the contacts listview. I don't do anything else. I tried to reproduce your problem but I can't. I'm running AKU 3.2 (see my signature).
There is something you can try to be sure. Just use this tool to unregister the dll. Do a soft reset and check if you still have problems with the contacts.
Regsvrce /u ppccontactsmgr.dll (to unregister)
cheers,
.Fred
ps.: if you want to upgrade to new version
1) Regsvrce /u ppccontactsmgr.dll
2) soft reset
3) install new cab

Everything works once I disable PPCContactsMgr. I didn't unregister the DLL, but I did remove all the registery entries related to it. This has happened to me with AKU 2.0, 2.2, 2.3, and Faria's 3.2RC1. Removing the reg entries has fixed it everytime for me.
Could it be something in my pim.vol that is messing it up? I could send it to you for testing it you want.

All right, the best thing to do is to ask Faria, if he has the same problems.
I'm really sorry, because I tried several times, exactly what you did, and not a single problem.
I'm sure it is nothing to do with pim.vol, it's just a database. The problem relies in poutlook.exe

Great little program, but only works for default contact program. Usinf PI and it does not seem to work. Please help.

You are right, it must be a bug in the contacts app because I just had it happen to me again. I guess I can reinstall PPCContactsMgr! Sorry for the troubles.

Backing up Outlook/Exchange Certificates

Hello all. I am going to update my ROM, but have a quick question. My work email and calendar sync to my Mogul. Originally my works IT department had to install a certificate so I could sync. When I install the new ROM, I am betting this certificate will go away.
Is there anyway to backup the Certificates so I can reinstall them myself? I am not supposed to be on the exchange server per some stupid/outdated company policy but had a friend put me in there. I would like to not have to go back to IT as I don’t want to get anyone in trouble.
Thanks for the help.

I've exported HKCU\Comm\Security\SystemCertificates\.... into a cabfile and use this one after every new rom i'm flashing
and it's working very well.
If you export into reg-file and edit this file with an hex-editor you'll find your exchange certificate for sure. and under HKCU\Software\microsoft\ActiveSync you can find your Exchange settings (servername etc). after flashing a new rom the only thing i have to do is to enter my password and that's it....if you're unsure, you could try to import into an wince emulator and test if it's working the way you want....

Problem with Exchange
I have been having challenges around Exchange. I am receiving emails and calendar correctly through the push.

you could use dotfred's taskmanager for example (for PPC) or CERegeditor (for Windows Desktop) to export or import the registryentries.
Both tools are for free. Another solution could be SASHIMI which can also import registry files. Or you could create your own Mortscript, both are also for free.
if your ROM is supporting UC there is also a section for exchange (somewhere in the thread)
If you want to create a cab, WinCECabManager is easy, but not free.

HI Peter,
I tried exporting those reg keys out and after flashing my rom I managed to reimport them.
When I checked the certificates in Settings, they seem to be there. Checked Activesync settings, it is also there, however, when tried to sync, got this error
"The Microsoft Exchange Server requires a personal certificate to log on. Please obtain a certificate as directed by your corporation or service provider"
There was no option to key in password.
I had to re-enroll for a certificate going through my PC's WMDevice Center before able to sync with my Exchange server again.
So ... wonder whether I am still missing something that prevents me from restoring the certificates completely. Are there any physical certificate files that I need to back up as well ?
cheers

Bumpdibump, the same with me - although this is regarding a transfer from Rose to Polaris - this is the best post I have found so far...
Any luck on some specific files we need to copy in addition to the registry?

so i assume that the .cer used for the exchange server is no longer on the phone?

I don't quite remember what happened, but for my part - not sure if the cer file was there, but it didn't help much anyway since whatever cer file I tried to validate with didn't work. I am looking into a different thread using rapiconfig to get the details from my phone, but I guess it ain't enough to only get the info from registry to get the darn thing to work.

Sprite Migrate BETA 2 Infoseite + Downloadlink + QR-Code or search for "Sprite Migrate BETA 2" in the market
Now the problem is:
1. Do the Backup in WM.
2. At Android you install the other app.
PROBLEM:
Sprite Migrate doesn't find any File nor on the Device nor on Storage Card. But I saved this Backup-File via ActivSync to the Storage Card.
I've tried to upload the file and download it via Browser in Android - failed.
Android converted the file from *.pbf to *.txt data.
Bluetooth doesn't connected to my PC. Maybe this is only a problem by me.
I use Android MCCM HD V2.0 from here ... maybe someone else can try this method with another version of android, which is released here and can report ?
come on guys, maybe that's a little step to a solution working very fine and helps a lot of people here.
thx for helping

i'm sure you can sync it up to gmail as well and then synch whilst in android... or am i going mad?

yes you're right ... but with gmail you CAN'T sync your sms, call log ... only contacts, calendar and tasks IMO
but maybe i found my fault ... i'm testing something
are you interested ?

but there is this...

I found solution.
Just change date in your device to year <2010, then the app will work.
but I have a problem, the app runs, but with no result, it hangs there
how can I export my SMS?
