Messaging: unable to display the attachment
Hi,
Recently i havent been able to open my attachemnts in my email. I have tried everything from resynching to removing email as a sync option and then resynching to trying to move the attachemnts around via the option the the mail from sd to main mem.
The error I get is
"Unable to display the attachment."
This happens with all types of attachments.
Are there any email db's or something I can delete to get it working again? pocket db explorer doesnt seem to list any like it did on my xdaII.
can anyone help... I have no time for a hard reset!
thanks

Just wondering....Have you used Pocket Machanic Professional?
I have the same issue among others.

after much fiddling last night i eventually broke the OS and it wouldnt start up with a storage card inserted...
so i hard resetted ansd restored from an old backup

oh no.... seems like I have this problem again......
What would cause this problem??? Does anyone have this issue as well?

Anyone?
I just tried resyncing via deleting all email accounts and also removing email from sync'd items.
I also tried moving the attachments from storage card to memory and vice versa, via the account options for storage in the email program.
Still coming up with the error message:
"Unable to display the attachment"
Can anyone please help? what else can I check/delete/add/modify?
thanks!

Unresolved Items when synchronizing email

Hi,
Does anyone know the fix to this issue. I've done various tests and know that any email that has an attachment, it will not sync to my Jam. I've deleted all emails that has attachments and sure enough the "unresolved items" in Activesync disappears.
Here are the things I've done and none have worked so far.
1. I've changed the location to store the attachments to the internal memory instead of my SD card. - Still doesn't work.
2. I've unchecked the limited size of the attachment in Activesync Options - Does not work
3. I've done a hard reset because I upgraded to ROM ver: 1.11.00 - Ext. ROM 1.11.169
So far I have not been able to find the issue. I've tried using a different SD card but I don't think it matters because it does it even when I uncheck the option to save attachments to storage card. One thing for sure, if I send myself one email with an attachment, I get 1 unresolved issue on the email sync. So it's some attachment problem that I would really like to have fixed because my attachments are important to me.
If you know the fix for this issue please let me know. Thanks you.
I have this problem every once in a while. It is usually an attachment that ActiveSync can't convert properly. I find I have to disconnect and reconnect which sometimes solves it. Other times I have to find which attachment is causing the problem and remove it from the mail. I have not yet tried turning of the conversion setting which may indeed help.

Messenging shows blank emails? Anybody seen this?

I had to do a hard reset last night after a corrupted software install caused system to behave strangely. Everything was fine after the reset, and I proceed to load all the usual softwares.
For some strange reason the Email messenging software wouldn't display any mail. It was working fine prior to the reboot. Now it would check and retrieve mail headers, but clicking on the header shows a blank screen. Also sending a new mail shows a blank screen. As if the text editor was wiped out.
Anybody seen this before? What is causing this problem?
Thanks.

This is a very common problem with Messaging. Check whether there're any files in \Windows\Messaging. Those are the mail bodies (see my description of the Messaging frtamework if interested.) If there're, how many are there? What are their size?
there are 28 files and an attachment directory, most 2-4k, and one of each 14k, 15k, 30k. I do have 24 headers shown in messenging window. The larger files are probably those headers that I tried to download the complete body. But still they wouldn't show in messenging.
What do I do with these files? Delete them?
Thanks again for the help.
I get this issue quite often as well as the messages being shown but if there is an attachment (Shown on main list as a paperclip) the attachment is not listed once opened. The only way I have solved both issues is to re-boot again, connect Messenger and THEN re-sync. Seems to work for some reason.

Strange none of these files are not displayed. In most cases, there're no files in \Messaging at all, which causes Messaging not to display anything.
Try removing your POP3 account and, after that, recreating it. Hope it helps.
Are these files with .mpb supposed to be associated with some program? It doesn't seem to know what program to open the file with. I was able to open the file with Word and see the content. But I was thinking maybe it's supposed to be associated with windows messenging?
Thanks again for the suggestions.
Ok problem solved. Used the clear function to wipe out all mails, and download everyting again from mail server. Everything showed up.
Thanks for all the helps!

Messages application corrupt PLEASE HELP!

Hi, I had this problem before a long time ago and I ended up hard resetting, but now am having the same exact problem. I haven't done anything or installed anything in the last 3 weeks it just happened.
So when I click the messages application through "No unread messages" on desktop, nothing happens.
If I go into programs and open Messages then it opens the messages, but when I try to click "inbox" to select either of my email accounts it stalls and won't move. I can go back to desktop though. I cant get out of the text messages section of messages.
Also, I can't sync with my pc anymore, I can access the phone and memory stick in windows but activesync won't sync!
What's the deal, if I hard reset I fear this will just happen again. I have no programs but spb stuff I always have had.......
THANKS!!!!!!!
oh and soft resetting and turning off the phone doesn't seem to help. I can't check email either................
my contacts list is also blank wtf, it scrolls down empoty lines.........
ok i'm hard resetting, but i don't want this to happen again.......
OK so this will be the 4th time that pocketoutlook fails on me and I have to reformat and start from scractch.
Anyone else had pocketoutlook slowdown like I mentioned above?
it just happens after a while and i have no idea why and it doesn't go away.

Old Email Messages Deleted Automatically

Hi all,
I 've got the Qtek9100, and with both the default rom it shipped with and the custom Tmobile 2.17 ROM I've had this problem. I use Gmail on my phone via pop3, and my problem is that the phone is constantly deleting my old email messages. Its not sending them to the deleted items folder, but removing them from my inbox as though they never existed. Have any of you encountered this problem or know of a way to fix this? Thanks.
I have a Cingular 8125 and I have the same problem. After I close the email its gone!
Same problem here too.
set to get first 999kB of message.. it is the only work around that i found
Loosing Emails.
I had this type of problem with SMS's and emails - basically anything with Pocket Outlook.
The solution was to Close outlook fully (not with the 'x') before soft-resetting the phone. Pocket outlook does not seen to write the new emails to it's database until the app is closed. (i.e running programs - stop program)..
Since I started closing outlook fully before soft-resetting I have not lost 1 message.

Actually, closing outlook fully does not stop email from being deleted. This happens even when I don't soft reset the phone. I'll try getting the first 999kb of a message, though I worry that this could fill my phone quickly if I don't pay attention. Also, I don't have this problem with SMS messages.
I figured it out.
Under Tools -> options in Pocket Outlook is an option to "Display messages from last x days only." I've unchecked that, so here's hoping that takes care of the problem. Hope it helps everyone else who had this problem.

I had this unchecked already, and I still have the same problems.
Any other ideas?
Here si the fix on the HTC and disappearing emails
1 start/message/click email account/menu/tools/options/tap email account/edit account setup/next/next/next/next/next/download message 3 pls days/advance setting/keep them on server/next/ finish
Do this for all accounts
Now go to your computer and outlook tools/email accounts/view or change email account/next/change/ more settings/advanced/leave copy on server/ how many days is up to you
You must do this for all you accounts on that computer. then do the same to all the computer you use to get the same e-mails.

Struggling with memory and cant find the answer

I have done lots of searches but can't solve this one so I am hoping someone can walk me through it.
I have a 2GB storage card and I would really like to sync directly to it. It doesn't really matter for My DOcuments and bits and bobs as they are not big and I can always move them but the probelm is email.
I like to keep my outlook synchronised and certain folders synced at all times but unlike the MDAIII the Vatio II can't do this as the memory is too low. I need a way to store the attachments on the card and be able to access them seemlessly or to just sync directly with the card (ideally).
I have looked at the link for mobilesync but it doesn;t download properly and I can't get it to work. If anyone can help me with this I would really appreciate it. I am not up to tweeking registries etc. I am IT literate but not a boffin!
thanks
If you go to email, email options, memory tab - you can select to store attachments to to storagecard. It works fine with incoming email attachments - not totally sure about outlook emails but its probably worth a try. Let me know the result
There is a setting in Mobile Outlook that allows you to store attachments on the storage card. Did you try that? Within Messaging it is Tools/Options/Storage tab

My device now isn't syncing at all. THe laptop is connecting as it is charging the device but it is seeing it as a guest and not syncing - help
oh dear
I have done this and it is now syncing fine but I still can't access teh attahment s when reading my mail because presumably it is not accessing my storage card by default. How do I set it to read attachments from there?
I don't want to ask the obvious but in activesync have you unchecked the boxes in options / email that limit file size or limit the download of attachments? If these are still checked it could be your problem
