I have now (after a reset and some problems) managed to get my mail to sync properly again and my attachments to save to the storage card and open directly from my email without problems. THere is one further part of the puzzle however that I can not crack.
When I sync my device with the computer my new outlook messages appear with the attachment details on the varioII. I then have to check which attachments I want and mark them for download and sync again to actually get access to them. This means I have to sync twice for anything I need and I need to know what I might need in advance which I dont like.
Am I missing something. Can I change the settings (not techincal please) to get this to do it first time.
The attachment is too big, so it is not downloaded automaticely. In advanced options of email in active sync you can increase the size limit or remove it

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
I am having an intermittent problem with email attachments not downlaoding and it is totally confusing me. I have my settings so that all emails and all attachments of any size can download and some of the time this is fine but other times (like this morning) the emails will download but the attachments wont download when I prompt for them to come too. It is the same problem whether using wifi or gprs/3g as my settings are identical anyway.
Has anyone got any ideas. I am fairly certain that the attachments that wont open are ones that are large. It seems that the device is forcing emails to be attachments that weren't attachments in the first place. For example when I opened an email this morning it was blank with an attachment but when I checked my laptop and went for the same email it was a text email with an excel file attached. I didn't know what was contained in the email at all though because Ihad only been faced with an attachment that wouldn't download and it was work so luckily I was still at home.
Has anyone any ideas. I am computer and MDA literate but when it comes to registry tweaks and cooking ROMS forget it - not my thing

Has no one any ideas on this one - it must be something simple surely.
I have the same problem with me HTC, on both wifi-gprs each time I click on the attachment to email. It reads "Attachment will download next time you connect" I can't work that out
I dont know...but maybe it could be related to memory...
If you are having this problem with "large" files or emails maybe they do not download becase there is not enought free memory for the file in your device...
Have you set the PPC to save attachments to sotrage card or they store in main memory??
has this happened when you have a lot of mails in your inbox or with very few??
I'm just guessing here but it could be a chance...

New kid on the block here so I hope someone out there can help me.
Recently got O2 Mini sd Wizard and really pleased with it.
Adding info. to the phone and synching with my pc OK.
I have just lost about 2/3 of my contacts - I don't know how.
But now when I try to synch with my pc I get an error message that reads:
'support code 800703fa' and synching does not complete.
I have tried soft reset but nothing changes.
When I try a hard reset, the phone behaves as though I have just done a soft reset and still nothing changes.
Anyone have any suggestions? (Polite ones please!!!)
+1 for title.
I would just go into ActiveSync on your phone and delete all of the accounts (click on Menu > Options, highlight the computer nickname and click Delete), then delete the sync folder on your computer, and create the account anew.
After creating it, go into your phone's Activesync again and click on Menu > Options again. From here you can configure the settings for each thing you want to sync, and can turn items on or off. For example, since my phone contact list is WAY more important to me, and I don't want my personal contacts ending up on my work computer (where I usually sync), I do not sync them at all. However, I always push Notes and Tasks from the phone to my computer, since I'm usually creating those while away from my desk. Each item can be set differently. I usually let Files sync in both directions, so I can nab new .cab files when I need to.
BTW, a Google search for "support code 800703fa" could be very enlightening, or very tedious, but either way, I'd recommend trying it.
Hi Guys, sorry to start a new thread, I have searched lots for this one, but no one seams to have the same issue.
My Hotmail and messenger is set up fine I get all the emails I want, but when I try to download an attachment (regardless of connection type) it says “This file is too big”
I have tried various files from 1MB – 3MB and all get the same response. For example a 2MB power point presentation attached to a standard email receives this message.
Any help appreciated
I have the same problem and I tried as well to ask here for a solution but nobody answered. So I have one solution for you - either set up your hotmail account via pop3 (then you will have no problem with attachment size but forget push email technology - you have to set the time limit how often will the device try to send/receive) or stay with default hotmail setup with push email (get message when it arrives) and forget about bigger attachments. Btw. with pop3 there is (I guess) some difference in synchronization. With default setup your mailbox is always the same on the phone and on the server.
Heya!
I'm having the same problem. Someone must have figured out what to do right? :-D

Has anyone else noticed this and found a solution?
I setup HTC Mail to talk to my company's ActiveSync server. It downloads and sends emails just fine, however if an email contains an attachment, I can't retrieve the attachment.
At first I had it setup not to fetch attachments. The email would show there was an attachment with the proper file size, however when I would manually force the download everything comes back as 1kb and won't open.
I changed the setting to retrieve all attachments less than 500kb (which covers 90% of them) and they still won't download and open.
I'm trying out "Exchange" by TouchDown, but seem to be running into the same issue. Even if it worked, I really didn't want to have to use multiple email clients.
Does anyone know if this is resolved in Froyo?

bump anyone?
I think it requires an SD card to be installed. Download refers to /sdcard folder
Hi
I'm having exactly the same problem as you but for the moment I've got no solution have you managed to resolve it ?
If so how?
Thanks
