it's very strange. I have the same rom installed and MSN presents. Did you look for MSN Options in Start/Settings?

I've noticed the same.
I get the full "MSN" page which means an extra click to start messenger.
I used to have a shortcut direct to the Msn_Msgr program but... now it's gone
Are they that desperate for us to use their whole MSN "suite"?!

in Settings I have MSN Options dialog,
but all features are disabled, except the one: SMS
all others are disabled on every taps.

First use Pocket MSN in Start/Programs to set your account

works now
thanks for great suggestions! works!
but I get icons for Pocket MSN dialog, then I can select MSN Messenger.
I preffer icon directly to Messenger, but this is no special problem.
now, all features in MSN Settings are enabled.

make a shortcut to it.
use file manager to:
"copy" the file \windows\instmsgr.exe
and "paste shortcut" in \windows\start menu\programs

great help! thx!
Fantastic!
The last step I made the above shortcut, this is what I wanted to back.
This is why I love this forum. Sharing ideas and solution. Nowhere and noone (mean: no manufactures and no device provider) gives such good support and help.
btw: why the official ROM release which so many bugs? I found there are some old IA CallerID pictures inside the ROM with no matter to use, because this program was remove a while.

Help : Contact/Calendar Softkey remap

First, I have Cingular 8125 with Qtek AKU2 ROM.
I have installed informant PIM and .mobile Contact Phone softwares. I love both of them, a way better than PIM apps that came with origrinally. However how can I remap the softkey for Conact and Calendar in TODAY and PHONE screens? I want to open informant when I press Calendar and Contact button for .mobile Contact Phone.
Help Please ~~

download this app i just installed it and it works great

Here is what I'm using. Even though it doesn't give you full control of what you want. It might suit your needs though.

8525 and Goodlink

Thought I would start a thread for those folks using Goodlink on their 8525 so we can discuss our unique issues.

Some useful apps
So, here is my list of know goodlink/pocket pc issues (unless anyone has solutions)
no easy/quick way to switch between vibrate/non-vibrate email notification
no way to voice-dial from goodlink contacts (only from sim contacts)
no way to have notification light turn on when email comes in
Anyone figured these out?

Basic Tweaks
My final initial post -- for those neophyte users like me, here are the tweaks I have installed to-date just to get some added functionality out of my new 8525:
PTTfix (which enables me to use the button manager to re-program the PTT button [button 5] -- which I have now set to open voice dial when hit)
Magic Button (allows for seeing what programs are running and ensuring they are really closed)
mVoiceMail (allows me to listen to my corporate email wav files)
Vibra Switch (allows me to program a button to quickly switch between ring/vibrate mode -- I have programed my PTT button to do this when I push and hold down -- as opposed to a quick click, which turns on voicedial)

I'd like to show more or less appointments on my today screen, and/or specify only all-day events or the entire day's appointments.
And I'd like the good contacts to work with outlook

good luck on outlook integration. goodlink simply does not interact with pocket outlook. if you need the global address book, you simply have to use goodlink. after installing goodlink, i removed all items from the today screen except the inbox, and re-mapped the keys to my pocket informant calendar/contacts, and sync appts and contacts with activesync. i hate goodlink, but it's what the company uses. i hate how it tries to replace everything on the device, and how once installed you can't uninstall it. so i only see and deal with the inbox.

[BOUNTY][REQ]Notification / alertsound for direct push from exchange subfolders

[Added 30Euro Bounty]
Hello Everyone,
I seem to have run into a shortcoming of both WinMo 6.1 and 6.5.
Apparently (I have searched the forums for this quite extensively) there is no way to have a notification (sound or vibration) to notify the reception inform of an email that has been pushed from the exchange server directly to a subfolder of the inbox, based on a server side rule (i.e. having all the emails sent from my office go directly to my inbox subfolder that is labeled Work Emails).
I am sure plenty of people have exchange accounts with subfolders and would like to see this issue resolved. Moreover, I cannot understand how this feature is present on email clients for Symbian devices but is not supported in Microsoft's own Pocket Outlook (RoadSync for Symbian has this feature).
I am not a programmer, but it would appear bizarre that there is no way to associate a notification to an email, simply because it does not appear in the inbox but in a subfolder of the inbox. From a logical point of view, all that is required is to exted the notifications that apply to new emails in the inbox to ALL new emails both in inbox AND subfolders.
I am willing to pay 30Euros to whomever develops a hack/registry tweak/cab...whatever, that can:
1) make WinMo notify an email that has been pushed to a inbox subfolder;
2) integrate the solution in TF
So far the only solution that have been suggested are:
1) FlexMail 4, that is not compatible with TF or SPB shell
2) http://www.blackmonlabs.com/faq.html. However even this solution is not what I am looking for.
3) CheckMail 2.0 (http://www.soft32.com/download_234983.html) is an app that does exactly what I am looking for, I am now testing if it works with TF3d
Please help,
[I honestly cannot understand how this issue has not been addressed yet]

did you try second today or similar software that allows wmToday and touchflo to run at the same time?
it may work with http://www.blackmonlabs.com/faq.html.

Let me see if I understand this correctly.
I install second today, and for that today screen I install blackmonlab application; therefore, on my second today screen I would get subfolder email notifications.
However, if I understand correctly, I would still have no form of notification when in TF3D today screen. I would still have to switch to my second today screen and verify whether I have received new emails or not.
I don't know....this appears to be so strange. I cannot believe all the Microsoft Exchange users have not in some way addressed this.

Let's see if the addition of a small bounty attracts some good willed programmers.
I am sure there must be a number of people who could use this fix.

yeah dude give it a try before dismissing the idea. it might work well for you
also, whats the name of the app that adds today screen as a tab in touchflo. it might work better than second today or mtoday

I don't know.
In fairness, I am new to WinMO as I recently moved from a nokia communicator E90; I also have some Blackberry experience, since my GF has one.
Honestly, I just love WinMO so far. However, the whole messaging system is pretty weak compared to other platforms and I am rather unsatisfied.
I have not tried SPB mobile shell 3.0, as of yet.
I have mainly used TF Rhodium version and Titanium.
I really like TF, however, I would get rid of both the SMS and Email tabs and replace them with one unique tab that incorporates a fast smooth messaging client. For someone who receives 30/40 SMS per day and about 80 emails, the TF is just very inefficient.
If there was a way to integrate a POWERFUL messaging client in either TF or SPB I would definitely try it. By integrating I mean a Messaging client that:
1) notifies me about SMS, Email (and subfolder emails) vibrating/ringing;
2) Visually modifies my TF3DHome/TitaniumToday/SPB now/ screen showing an envelope and the number of unread messages;
3) provides a pop-up preview (not necessary);
4) one finger tap from Home/today/spb now/ straight to the new Message (no scrolling/clicking to the tab, then clicking on the envelope).
Perhaps there is something like this and I am unaware of it?

hi, does the check mail 2.0 supported TOUCH FLO3D? i went to the description link it says only displays on Today screen.

CheckMail 2.0 does not support touchflo or any other Graphic shell.

Ok someone just messaged me with a solution which appears to be rather interesting.
Using BBconnect and BIS service from phone carrier or alternatively BBconnect and BES (for those who work in a company that runs a BES server).
Apparently BB connect can be integrated in TF3d without issues.
Can someone confirm perhaps?

Did you ever find a good solution to this problem? I too am dumbfounded that this is not natively supported, even in WM 6.5 which I'm running on my Fuze (Energy Rom 8/1 build).
Come on people, there has to be a solution!!!

that feature has never been supported by pocket outlook, nor the PC version of Outlook. ALthough the PC version finally gave the user the ability to create reminders based upon new email into a folder or email specifics. Likewise, PC version of Outlook will not give reminders on flagged items that are not in the inbox and you used to have to use an Outlook plugin to get to do that.

I can definitely do this in the PC version of outlook with the built-in Desktop Alerts. It seems like it would be such a simple and useful piece of functionality to implement in WM. Anyone else heard of a good way to do this, especially in WM 6.5?

THe only solution I have found for this, that does not require a second today screen or closing down TF3D is a #rd party app called watch flag.
Here is the home page http://www.watchflag.com/
I used it with WM6.1, it did the job, I found the interface to be a bit clunky, and did not woirk entirely the way I wanted.
That is probably my fault becaue I could not get it to notify me on specific subfolders, I could only make it notify me on all subfolders.
In the programs defense it was over a year ago and has had revisions since then.
The other issues are the program is not free, but has a two week trial and while TF3D can be running , i think it just has regular on screen messages and does not integrate with TF3D message notifications.
Like i said I have not used it in a Year.

Creating a Windows Live contact from the contact list

Why doesn't "create contact" allow to create a Windows Live contact anymore? It used to be the case on the Blackstone ROM's but on the HD2 this functionality is broken.
Which part of the ROM is responsible for this behaviour and is there a CAB fix (perhaps an update for the HTC Contacts application) that allows to enable this option again?
Without this functionality to enter contacts indifferently in MSN Live messenger and on the phone, HTC phones lose both Android Phone and the iPhone, where the main advantage is the synchronizing of contacts between Messenger software and the phone!
We need this feature back, as this is a major feature that has disappeared!

over 60 reads and no answer?
Am I the only one using MSN Messenger for chats, cam and saving new chat partners to my phone and adding new MSN contactd through my phone so i don't have to do this work twice?

I have found a solution.
I can use the Windows Contacts application instead of HTC people in order to create a new contact. Not perfect but works.

Next time better post in the correct thread, this is ROM section.
Nice to know you found a solution to the problem though.
