Removing Pocket MSN

I just got my qtek 9100 and it came installed with pocket msn. Is there anyway I can remove this as I dont have a hotmail account and dont want the hotmail inbox. .... or is there another way of removing just the inbox.
I much prefer agile for msn anyway so dont realy need pocket msn anyway.
Any help would be appreciated.

hi buddy
try the attached file - got it from my wizard extended rom!
cheers, lutz

Its in the Windows folder and some thing like msnmsgr.exe - can't tell you for sure as I dont have it with me.
Just to finish off I placed a copy in the start menu and removed from the today screen the pocket MSN thing.
Terran

Thanks for the repsonses.
I did a hard reset and didnt start the pocket msn software, so it didnt create a hotmail inbox. I've removed it from the program icons.
The messenger software is called instmsgr.exe but if you use that it still creates the hotmail inbox.
Cheers

i too would like to know how to use msn without it making the hotmail inbox. also i'd like to get rid of the outlook email one but i could live with that staying but 2 inboxes i dont use starts to get anoying

I just use agile messenger which is free and does the same job. In fact it goes one better by including AOL, ICQ and yahoo messenger.

I simply made a shortcut in SPB Pocket Plus to a file called..... instmsrg.exe which is in the Windows folder.
To get rid of the mailbox, i guess you could hard reset, create the shortcut to instmsgr.exe then never open the Pocket MSN so the mailbox never gets made. As suggested above.

as shah said it still creates the hotmail account as soon as you sign in using the msn software. oh well guess i'll just have to use a 3rd party app for instant messaging
dean

right figured out how to remove it. go into settings / memory and stop msn and messaging. (this'll stop you having to reset)
load up a reg editor, I used resco explorer. goto HKLM/software/microsoft/inbox/svc then rename the "hotmail" key to "-hotmail" exit resco and press the power button to standby your device and save the reg changes. now if you go into messages the hotmail will be gone.
i've only just figured this out so not sure if there are any minor side effects, let me know if you notice any.

Thanks
That seems to do the trick.
Need just to decide whether to use agile or instmsgr ... The latter integrates better with the os but I think I read somewhere that it uses more data so higher gprs costs ???

I just tried this on the new rom, and it denied me access to the whole messaging package.
No Texts, nothing.
So I'm just undo-ing the change.

How can I get rid of the process called pMSNServer.exe which takes up around 300KB of my precious RAM??

Not to be contrary, but pMSNServer.exe should only be using 56kb of resident memory. I haven't seen it run since I did the following from a few posts up (though I deleted the whole key rather than renaming it):

I already deleted that key as well - I don't have the MSN Inbox in my MobileOutlook...
However, the pMSNService.exe is still running and takes up around 300KB...

which app you use to see how much space does the msn program use when running ?
thanx

I am using SKTools, but there are also many other memory managers...

Dear Lutzh,
I ran this cab on my Toshiba G900 WM6P PPC phone, to remove WLM, and it asked where to install, I chose Storage Card. Now on card I have folder Tools with a file CeSetup in it which does not have a file association. In Add/Remove programs I have nothing new that can be removed. In /windows I still have the WLM files. Did I do something wrong, what should I do next?
Thank you in advance

Can't REMOVE FlexMail 2007

Hi I loaded trial WEBIS FlexMail 2007 when upgrading my Pocket Informant to 2007.
I dont like it and tried to remove it by the normal method but it reportad that one file would have to be removed manualy. Did that and now I get fil;e "wismail" cannot be opened, when ever I try to access the original message system.
I noted that the Message menu line on today screen Icon was changed when I set FlexMail as default message app. The Icon is still the webis one now.
I assume I need to change the registry to revert to original message app but do not how too.
Any Help.
Many Thanks
Condex

My experience too
I found the same thing, it seemed to have overwritten tmail.exe. This is a massive nuisance in a trial. I had found other software that did similar things and make a backup using SPB backup just before installing it.
If you have a backup before the installation, my advice is to roll back to that backup. Otherwise, I would rebuild the system from scratch.

I had the same problem, couldnt uninstall the application. You can however de-select the option that Flexmail is the default mailprogram, in the settingsmenu of Flexmail. When de-selected, you get your good old Outlook back.

FlexMail puts tmail.exe in the windows folder, which hides the original tmail.exe. You can delete tmail.exe from the windows folder and the one in the ROM will be back in view.
Raj

hey krati...have you checked your....just want to make sure before i try it....
also there are a lot of bugs in this software...
like even unchecking the default sms manager option does not restore poutlook...

Yes!. I did. Ran out of evaluation time and had to get rid of it.
Don't have the key

Just want to confirm what krati said: I've just tried FlexMail 2007 and I mistakenly let it make itself the default mail client. I found the software buggy too and had to delete tmail.exe by hand from \Windows because the ROM version had been overwritten.
All in all, not good. It's a shame they released it in this condition.

I checked windows dir found Two tmail files one .exe and one .lnk
I renamed tmail.exe old-tmail.exe and was tiold I can not delete Tmail.exe
However the timer wurred and then when I tried starting messages My OLD OUTLOOK WAS BACK Great many thanks.
Icon in both the today menu line and the Programs drop down is still Webis ( I did try renaming tmail.lnk to Old ...) told again it could not be deleted but this time it did not seem to do anything. Maybe I will find out what I have actualy removed LATER.
Anyway ICON is not a problem and I habve my OULOOK back with all histroy ALL Is WELL
Many Thanks Again to you All.

Flexmail 2007 real dog with fleas...
I cannot get my removed either... Tried to Un-install but..

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I got this email from a member here so I decided to post my response to him here as well. Personal info removed.
Thanks for your email.
FlexMail should have a rule for auto-replying, but I see you are right. I think we may have removed that before release and forgot to update the site - but I'll make sure we put that back in.
Now as to the uninstall - our uninstall is a completely clean uninstall and was tested by QualityLogic to be as such. The uninstall resets the registry keys back to normal, undeletes tmail.exe, etc.. The issue with uninstalls is not our uninstaller, its with how we deal with being the default app.
The issue is simply that because FlexMail overwrites tmail.exe, the entire uninstall predicates on removing this overwrite being successful. You see, we overwrote tmail.exe because for WM2000 and 2002 (which we originally supported) that was the *only* way to make FlexMail the default application on a Pocket PC. Even on WM2003/5 there are certain things that unless you overwrite tmail.exe the OS will still call the built in app. In all of our tests, betas, and public betas - this worked 90% of the time. But in real life it doesn't go that well. In real life, tmail.exe sometimes will not quit no matter what. We try to terminate the process with the most powerful termination API call Windows Mobile has and it will not terminate. No termination means we can't properly uninstall. Improper uninstall and well you see what happens - and frankly is what 90% of complaints are about on FlexMail.
The easiest way to usually fix this is to reinstall, soft reset and make sure no tmail links are in \WINDOWS\Startup. Manually delete tmail.exe if you can. Open FlexMail and uncheck it being the default app. Then uninstall.
You know we've been working on Rev 2 of FlexMail. We've been working on it since August. With Rev 2 #1 we got rid of overwriting tmail.exe and now use MAPI rules to do what we used to do. However this does mean that some OS shortcuts like on the Today screen won't launch FlexMail and there is nothing we can do about that. We've also had a member of xda-devs in our group pounding the app to get every bug fixed. I think you'll find Rev 2 to be far surpassing of the current FlexMail release.
I'll post this on xda-devs.

ipm.root?
I also tried the trial version of flexmail along with pocket informant. I sticked to pocket informant, but not to flexmail.
A few weeks ago, out of the blue, the view of my text messages screwed itself up. In the accounts-view, I can't expand my text messages account and it all of a sudden gives me a view called IPM.root. At first I couldn't even see my inbox (for some reason now I can) but I still can't get to drafts or outbox. I tried several soft resets and even a hard reset, but nothing worked. My email accounts seem unaffected.
Can this strange behavior of my uni have anything to with the flexmail? Does anyone else have this problem?

Stopping Live Messenger syncing with contacts

Anyone know of a way I can use it without syncing my contacts?
I don't want it even touching my contact list as it adds all these contacts which I don't want on my device and when I remove them here it echoes the changes on my real desktop contact list. Luckily I had a contact list backed up on my desktop pc so I restored it.
So...anyone know how I can use Live Messenger Beta without letting it touch my contacts?

I guess you could disable the syncing of contacts altogether on ActiveSync?
It would stop any contacts syncing but it's the only thing that really comes to mind at the moment

It's a part of WLM, and I don't think you can disable it.

When I installed WLM it installed two programmes on start menu:
Windows Live Messenger and
Windows Live
If I select Windows Live it opens a screen which has Menu option. Within this is an Options setting that then leads to an option called "Sync Options" with this there are tick boxes to deselect synching contacts and e-mail.
Perhaps that might solve your problem?
Mike

That option is actually 'Sync Contacts and Messenger'.
All I want is the second part of that option...I want to sync messenger so it works but not my contacts.

I personally havent sync`d my contacts yet...but looking a bit deeper into this matter i found some registry keys that might help you.
Just open the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Service\Windows Live\Contacts\" there are a few options you can change. Maybe if you set the value "CanDoSync" to "0" it might actually stop syncing your contacts.

how do i get to there? i have total commander installed both on my device and desktop. but have no idea how to use them. any instructions would help please. yep thts right im a noob to all this

I just found this in a thread over in the Wizard forums.
Looks like maybe you don't HAVE to sync contacts anymore...
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I just thought I'd come an taunt all you none beta testers! j/k
The new mobile client is now out!!! It's available on the Microsoft Connect website, and it's pretty damn good...
Feel free to ask any questions about it, i'll gladly answer.
Some of the new features include:
- Contant sync isn't compulsory any more!!! although the contact sync is more intelligent now, and it's much simpler an faster to sort out the initial sync.
- LARGE speed boost.
- New today/home screen applet (Displays search box, and MSN avatar and contact info (All is optional))
- Windows Live config screen.
- Contact avatars (you can have your own now).
- Personal Message support.
- Original MSN Messenger seems to be left un-touched.

So any ideas when this version will be available.
I saw on that thread there are a few people experiancing the same problem. that the their msn contacts are getting added to thier device address book, which i find very annoying. and when you delete of the device it also deletes the contacts from your messenger list
if i was to get hold off msn messenger the one that worked on pocket pc 2002/2003, would it still work?
Dont suppose anyone would have it??

Where to download Live Messenger
Where can I download Live Messenger for the Hermes I have been looking and simply can not find it.

I saw on the connect website from Microsoft that there is a new version out since 16-12-2006. Has anyone been able to download this version already? If so, can someone give a review ?
Thanks

I've just applied to the beta program
hopefully I'm allowed in.

same i have also just joined. see what happens.

Could you guys upload the installer to the xda-devoloper ftp when you recieve it?
Somehow I'm not allowed to sign up for the beta. Perhaps it's the firewall here at school.

What are the latest news about it ?
Is this "contact sync problem" solved in this version and is this availaibe for download ?,

The versions I've tried you're still forced to sync with no other options
Plus theres been lots of problems even getting push with hotmail...the option just won't stick to "when they arrive" but stays on manual sync

is there an answer for this yet?
i would love to use windows live messenger, but hate getting some 250 contacts added to my contacts (in my phone)
/timmy

Just spent hours re-editing my contacts cos of live! eager to find a way of stopping it syncing but allowing me into messenger!

well is there a program that lets you put contacts into groups so that i could just filter all the live contacts?
a free one? or you know uhh one with a key?

falum: im the same as you, its a bastard to fix..
i wish this could be hacked at the moment, ive also found the WLM is pretty resource hungry, anyone else found this?

MDA Vario II - no reminders

I use a MDA Vario II (from t-mobile) and, begining with a couple of days before, I get no reminders to appointments anymore. I suspect that it is happening since I have instaled PocketBreeze 5.0.11, but i am not sure that PocketBreeze is the cause.
Does anybody else face the same problem? What can be done, except a hard reset (I am not so thrilled by the ideea to install everything again)?

Have you tried checking your notification queue for duplicates and/or out of date entries.
You can try scarybear checknotifications, memmaid or sk tools for this (prob there are others too)
Try this first, see if there are any duplicates or out of date entries. Delete all these, soft reset and then try again. Don't delete anything if you don't know what it is (unless it comes up under duplicates).
I use a combination of the above tools as I find that they often find dups or out of date entries that the others miss. Try checknotifications first (free), and see if this helps.

Hello marisa,
thank you for the hint, it seems to be working now. To be true, I already bought SKTools yesterday, because I found some other post with a similar problem. But I only ran the "Invalid Registry Entries" and "Invalid Registry Values" utilities, being afraid to delete anything. But after your post I ran the "Notification Queue" utility and checked all entries that refer CALENDAR.EXE And for all birthdays there were duplicates.
How do they got there? I initially synchronized the calendar in my old PalmVx with the Outlook (there I had the birthdays as normal appointments, not in contacts). Than connected my MDA per USB and ActiveSync to my PC. I manually inserted all the birthdays in the Outlook's contacts, causing Outlook to automatically create a duplicate "all day event". Than I deleted the birthday appointments which I get from the old PalmVx. In all of this time my MDA was automatically synchronizing with Outlook, so practically when I deleted the entries, they also were deleted from the MDA's calendar.
Now the question: since Outlook, ActiveSync and Windows Mobile are all Microsoft products, why weren't the duplicates also deleted from the Notification Queue? Why the garbage that needs to be cleaned with 3rd party tools and hours of searching posts on forums? Whatever.
Thank you again anyway!
PS: so PocketBreeze was not the cause.

They don't call it Active Stink for nothing you know!
Regarding Pocket Breeze, Spb Diary, Ilauncher and Pocket Plus, I don't know if these have anything to do with the problem.
I would say they must do, as most of these problems seem to occur when or shortly after people have installed one or any of them (or similar).
However, there are some people who get these problems with just the standard pre-installed software.
I personally think it's the interaction of Activesync, the native operating system and these today plugins which sets up something unexpected.
It could also be that people install both (many versions) of one of these in order to compare them, and decide which to buy, and they interfere with each other.
I have even had both version installed at the same time (but only one activated) for quick comparison. So, it's really hard to apportion blame for this. The other day I actually had to remove 2 identical templates, which had the date 2999! How's that for weird?
Never mind. All's well now, and that's the main thing.

Hmm, i must say that PocketBreeze was installed while I was performing the previously described birthday synchronisations. Whether it had any blame - I don't know. Uninstalling PocketBreeze was the first thing to do by trying to solve the problem, didn't help, the damage was already done. What I know is that I will install it again, because it sure gives me a much nicer overview. And that I will watch the Notification Queue closely from nowone

I don't think Pocket BReeze is related to my problem with appointments and alarms, I've had it installed all along and the problem only started very recently.

I'm using MemMaid but I'm still a bit confused about the entries that appear in the notification queue.
Can I safely delete any entries that relate to calendar entries in the past without this actually deleting it from the calendar itself?
Also, I have a load of entries in the queue that start:
\\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\SCRIPT:0x0
The detail for these shows a date and a (fairly random) time. Most are in the future (and generally in the early hours of the morning.)
Can anyone tell me what these entries are?
thanks
Mark

Markmat
I'm no expert, but my rule of thumb is:
If I don't know what it is/does then I leave it alone.
there is quite a bit of 'stuff' that has to run at various times to make the system run properly - that's when these phantom notifications are supposed to get cleared up, but don't. So, leave these alone.
Regarding the calendar entries, it's just the notifications which come up under memmaid's notfications check. So, if 3 months ago you had a dentist appointment and set the reminder for this to a day before say, and for some reason that notification didn't get dismissed and now you see it in memmaid, you can delete this. It won't delete the appointment, just the notification which is of no use to you now anyway and is confusing your system.

Bill, I think I know what happened with your duplicate birthday stuff.
Are you using Pocket Informant? or another 3rd party diary application? Maybe even Pocket Breeze itself.
Basically, I think you have 2 applications creating calendar events from contact birthdays. One is Outlook, the other is one of the ones I've mentioned. The solution is to turn it off on one or the other.

I already solved my problem by deleting the double entries in the Notification QUeue.
I was using PocketBreeze. I currently uninstalled it, but I will install it again and test your theory.
What do you mean by turning Outlook off? I use the Outlook on my PC to create appointments and I expect ActiveSync to upload them on the MDA by synchronization, even if the one managing them there is PocketBreeze. And backwards, when I create them with PocketBreeze on the MDA - i expect them to be downloaded on my PC by synchronisation.
Do you mean that there is also the preinstalled so called Outlook Mobile on my MDA which conflicts with PocketBreeze? Shouldn't this be the main concern of the PocketBreeze developers, to ensure that their software is not producing redundant double entries?
Anyway, if you mean turning off the preinstalled Outlook Mobile on the MDA, how exactly should I do it, where do I find this setting?

Sorry Bill, I haven't been very clear.
I think there is a special extra function in Outlook and also at the same time in some of these other pocket pc diary applications which create birthday calendar entries from contacts.
I am fairly certain that Pocket Informant does.
I am not suggesting that you don't sync with Outlook, just that one of the third party applications may be creating a duplicate using this extra function and so is outlook.
In Pocket informant there is an option to turn this extra function off, so then you only get the outlook ones. Hope that explains better.

Added:
In the Pocket Informant manual it explains this quite well when discussing options:
Apply Contact Birthday/Anniversaries
If you save anniversary and birthday information with your contact data, this option can read and enter the events into your calendar for you. However, because Outlook will do the same, it is recommended that you leave the option turned off if you synchronize with Outlook, in order to
avoid duplicates or performance issues.

Nothing to be sorry about
I understand now what you mean, thank you for the explanations. I will search the PocketBreeze's options for a similar setting.
And probably I will take a look at the PocketInformant too.

Outlook Contacts Synchronization Problems

I have 368 contacts in Outlook and I use the ActiveSync to synchronize those contacts with Trinity.
Well, believe it or not only the 320 contacts are copied into my device, an some of them are missing elements (phone numbers, notes etc...).
Has anyone faced this problem before?
This should be the most straight forward process, but for some reason for me it is not!
Any help would be much appreciated as at the moment I can not use the device as my primary telephone...
Thank you!

...and I am answering to myself saying that,
any contact in Outlook 2003 with a Note is not copied to the PDA.
Additionally, any contact that has a number that is categorized as Primary is copied to the device but the telephone number is not!
Please, if there is a Thread with similar content, transfer this topic there as I think that it may be of interest of other people.

I suggest you send your findings to microsoft. It looks like a bug either in Outlook or WindowsMobile.

You are right!
But if I am the only one who notices it, then I am not sure if there is something wrong with the configuration of wither my PDA or my PC.
Although, in general, these problems should not appear...
If a device can be synchronized Outlook, it synchronizes! Period.

Well, if anyone is interested, the problem that I am describing, has to do with my PC. I connected the PDA with my work's PC and Laptop, and it could synchronize contacts with Notes.
I also downloaded and installed SP2 for Office 2003 in my Home PC, but still there was a problem with the synchronization.
At the moment I can not find the reason why the two machines can not cooperate for these kind of contacts.
Any ideas by anyone?

did you try outlook self repair? Did you try Office Update?

I also have a similar problem. But I did not go into details to find exactly why some contacts are syncd and other not. Also some contacts are occasionally duplicated.

I tried both of them.
I also tried to uninstall all Office apps, and reinstall them and still didn't work.
I am so desperate that I am starting to think a complete rebuild of my PC.
I checked anywhere I knew. Outlook Options, Forums, Microsoft, Google. I do not know how to fix this...
Any help from anyone?

Hmm... Do you have Outlook Categories in use? Do you use subfolders?
Do the "non-synced contacts" have special characters e.g. a street named "Löwenstr."?
It is a very strange problem you have.

I had the same problem....
The only thing that helped me was to install a newer version of activesync...
After the Upgrade to 4.5 all was OK...

hi
anybody knows how to set in contacts to see just the contacts from the phone not mixed with sim contats
thanks

You couldfind it in the forum if you search "hide Sim", I think. But anyway you edit the Registry:
Registry
HKCU
ControlPanel
Phone
ShowSim = 0

Ive had exactly the same problem on my Hermes and previous models with AS4.5.
Only resolve is to create a new contact without anything in the notes field. weird.
