Hello, being noob again here...
I bought a MiniSD for my 9100, but I can't find a way to get my synch-ed files written automatically over it instead than the usual internal folder. Since the main point for the card was it to store large synched files, is there any way to get ActiveSync to point to the card directly?
Thank you for your help...
I've been using this program for a while now; works great:
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=985
Syncs any file/folder from the PC to any file/folder to PDA- including the storage card. Works in conjuction with ActiveSync.
Hi,
have a look at this: http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/move_my_documents_storage
But don't know if it works as it is WM2003.

Hades.
Mobsync is WONDERFUL!
I tried many other shareware options before reading your suggestion, but Mobsync is just perfect. No weird logic (another one only synched in one direction, but not the other...), no absurd limits (yet another one would only sync up to eight folders), no cost!
Yeah!
Ahem. Maybe I was a bit early in my enthusiasm.
Yes, the new sync program works just fine... but if I switch the 9100 off while connected by cable to my PC, somehow in a short while it springs back to life, soft resets by itself and... well, after that it's just fine, but I suppose this behavior is initiated by the new syncher.
Anybody else experiencing this?
I've just added a 2GB storage card and moved My Documents to it. How can I configure ActiveSync to sync it with a folder on my PC?
all it appears to do is create a new My Documents on the phone
I did experiment with this for a while
SK tools allows you to specify where you want the my documents folder I think?
There is also a reg hack somewhere ( which is what sk toold does for you AFAIK)
I managed to move my Documents onto the storage card ok but outlook will only sync notes when in the main system memory.
Mighty sync and easy sync will also give you more contorl over the limited sync options available in active sync
THere's a nice little tool called MobSync than can sync any folder on the PC with any folder on the PPC (Storage Card included) - last time I looked it was free.

Alternatively if you use SOTI Pocket Controller, you can sync folders also.
Cheers
Dave
thanks, i'll give these a go
MobSync is ideal. Simple PC install, simple setup (PC folders and Device folders) and then it just syncs (manual or scheduled)
look for "Ver1.0.8 Japanese & English "button amongst the Japanese script - about halfway down on the right.

I wonder if it's possible to sync a file on my storage card to my desktop PC.
I move my important data to my storage card and I also want them to be synced to my desktop PC.
How can I do that ?
On Hermes sync settings I couldn't find a way to add files to be synced.
Is this only done on the PC sync software (MS ActiveSync I mean) ?
MobSync will do the job
thank you. it's too bad that this feature is not possible out of the box.
Just for a bit of info. The latest Mobsync is not free though has a trial period. However there is a freeware version that is still very good and flexible:

I would like to be able to synchronize some file folders automatically to my Athena but have them copied to My Documents on the MicroDrive rather than in Main Memory. I have searched on the Forum and the Wiki and tried to do it but I have not found a way to map the ActiveSync File Transfer option to the MicroDrive. If I delete My Documents in Main Memory ActiveSync simply recreates it. Has anyone managed to do this?
Not sure, what I do know is that my pictures are saved to the microdrive. In My Documents/Pictures, and when I sync all the pictures, videos on my microdrive get transfered to my pc.
I tried the file sync, option in activesync, but no joy, it syncs from ameo my documents but not the microdrive my documents, sorry I don't know

not a big problem ...
you could use MobSync for this.
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=985
I have found that this normally works, but this will move and sync ALL folders under My Documents.
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
Mofify\Create the following:
String Name: FileSyncPath Value: \MicroDrive\My Documents
Ensure that you create a root folder on your Microdrive named: My Documents.
Let me know if this works for you.
Thanks

Thanks. I am trialing MobSync, and as you say it seems to do the job. Interesting review from a user of MobSync who had trouble getting it to sync the most recent version of files and he was recommending ACiD Sync, but unless the standard version comes out with the ability to sync sub-folders I will stick with MobSync.
Ok,
My aim is to save all mail (not just attachments) on The SD Card for wm6 devices specifically htc hd2
forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-298646.html
been there done that, the "storage card2" problem is persistent (on this device) even if it remains "storage card" after 5-6 reboots; sooner or later it is renamed "storage card2" and a new "storage card" folder is created at the root of your device where all new mail starts to get stored... :-(
the issue really is that he sd card is recognized after the registry tweaks / are executed at boot up
So, how do we make sure that the OS to recognizes SD Card first before the mail starts at boot-up or teh registry tweaks are executed
i have tried all other things like (without success)
1. disable sense,
2. use windows default theme & remove messaging plugin from today's home screen
3. place a shortcut of SD card folder in teh start-up folder
4. deleted all other items in startup folder which load at boot
5. formatted the sd card as fat 16 / fat 32 with all possible sector sizes...
u name it i have done it .. does not work..
what we need are some serious registry tweaks... anyone interested ? any suggestions ?
One suggestion i have in mind (for someone who knows how to write cab / .exe files) is to create a small program to enable and disable the following registry tweak at boot-up and shut-down a shortcut of whoch can then be placed on the screen.
before shutdown - click to disable
after boot up - click to enable
HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings
add "PropertyPath" value="\Storage Card\Mail" datatype="string"
add "AttachPath" value="\Storage Card\Mail\Attachments"="string"
Regards
I'm crying out for the same solution. My internal memory is critically low. I've tried pocket mechanic which didn't work. I'm down to plain text email with attachments on storage card and I'm still out of room. And yes, I need access to a large database of emails on the go. It was my primary reason for returning to winmo and getting the HD2 after a 6 year hiatus.
given hosted exchange a thought?? (4 bucks a month or so)
profimail runs entirely from the SD card and is much better than the standard outlook email client.

trying profimail 3.26
Hello
I'm trying profimail 3.26 and results are not quite well.
application crash often, i found no integration with today or sense on any forum, and the design make me think to old DOS application.
Good if you need to have a backup of a mailbox on your pda but not very usefull for every day for me.
If some of you have a better idea, i'll take it.
Isnt't it possible with SK-Tools?
http://www.s-k-tools.com/index.html?sktools/m_feat.html
after profimail
For those who want to use something like profimail to have a mail client on sdcard with sdcard storage see rather free softwares. I found nPOPuk but there is probably many other.
BUMP.
Please, we need a solution to this. We need to be able to successfully save email, not just email attachments, to the storage card, on the HD2, with the Storage Card 2 issue.
???
As said before profimail, or nPOPuk do that ! Not with outlook mobile but this work before a better solution
Supposedly this app does it, as per line 66 on the app details screen:
http://www.tweaks2k2.com
No guarantees that it'll work though, and you may have to hard reset if it breaks something! The software is ANCIENT, might I add. Even on the support forums, the last post was Aug 2009, and the last one before that was 2008 sometime!
To be honest, I would second the idea of getting an Exchange account. MUCH easier, sync the last two weeks or month or what have you, and just use the Search Server feature (built into Outlook Mobile) to get older things.
Don't work with hd2 with french language. a try more lol
The OP is spot on.
Any number of apps and manual tweaks that used to work on other devices do not work on the HD2 and never will unless we can work out and sort the root cause.
To the best of my knowledge the issue is that something is initialising the mail store before the storage card is mounted. Because this happens the device can't find its mail store on 'storage card' and so creates it own 'storage card' in device memory. When the real card is mounted it becomes 'storage card 2'.
Like the OP I have tried disabling everything I can think of that might be causing this behaviour but to no avail. I suspect there is some sort of pre-loader for Sense that runs very early on in the device start up to prepare the device for the Sense UI, but can't prove that. However until we find out what it is and how to delay it somewhat, we aren't going to get mail on the storage card.
I have no solutions, but I can confirm the scale of the challenge!
have tried Flexmail, profimail, npopuk,... (all good rated clients) nothing able to do the job correctly.
Always unable to download all mails and attachements or to see it correctly.
Just incredible to see that in 2010 with a phone like HD2.
Softwares like opera show pretty good html and is usefull, downloading file is not too hard. Why is it so hard or impossible to find a good mail client ? The first Outlook Express on PC do better than that and is now very old.

Do you REALLY have that many e-mails? I just did a test, and switched my main account from "last 3 days" to "last 30 days", going from about 50 messages to 500 in 3 folders, and watched before-after memory usage, it only ate an extra 4.5MB. I'm set to HTML, 20kB and no attachments...
I mean that's just what one app takes, and less than the various caches... Don't know if you've already done it, but moving the Album cache to the card (this one can easily grow to 20-30MB) makes more sense...

Probably not for me. I need to have 2 boxes with about 2000 emails each and somme attachements. A total of 300 mb probably. Not so much for some Gb. I bought this phone for work and want use the sdcard for those emails. It's name is "windows phone" not ipod or psp or ixus. If i need that i know where to find it. A mail client (Outlook in this case) unable to store 300mb, does not it's job. Email means attachement else it is an SMS. Even when i store attachements on in the sdcard, the phone cry for memory. for information i use no music, no photos, no videos, no games.
Wow... how do you manage, sort, search, browse through 4000 e-mails on a phone???
OK, probably in that kind of use it might not do the job, but it's the first time I see someone needing it...
What you're after is an UMPC A phone's email is great for the couple of hours you're away from a proper computer, not really meant as a primary device...
Hi all, I can't believe no one found a solution on this issue so far, there are already about 5 different threads about this issue. Is no one out there having an Idea?
as I asked before: In SK-Tools, there is a menu-point: Tunup->System Memory and Speed->Messaging file\windows ---> to any other path, include the storage card.
Isn't this a part of the solution? You can download a trial-version with this point. Test it. possibly works on a HD2.
The solution is: GET AN EXCHANGE ACCOUNT, SEARCH IS BUILT INTO THE DEFAULT CLIENT!
as far as I understand from other threads you can't get far with the SK-Tools solution because you end up having the "storage card2" issue.
@mazzarin: what do you mean with
"GET AN EXCHANGE ACCOUNT, SEARCH IS BUILT INTO THE DEFAULT CLIENT"
