Hello
I have found the way to create a shortcut to creating a new sms:
1°): On PC: create a notepad document with this content:
00#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body "
2°) On PC: save with .txt
3°) copy from PC to PPC (phone)
4°) on PPC: change extesion from .txt to .lnk
5°) use any launcher to link to this small file it will create a new sms
Now here is what I would like to do in the same way: create a link to a new contact in one click. What I have found so far is this:
20#"\Windows\poutlook.exe" contacts -new
but the problem is that is does not directly create a new contact, but first asks whether it should be in Outlook or on the SIM card. So how can I modifiy the above in order to have it directly in Outlook.
I have tried every possible logic I could think of (adding service "Outlook" for instance) with no luck so far.
Thanks for your help.

I checked my HTC Action Screen settings
as it works exactly the way you want and your code looks correct.
In the standard Messaging App, do you have the tick box checked for showing the Account Picker? (Messaging...Tools...options)
sorry, I guess I was not clear: it does not do what I want. I need a direct access to new contact within Outlook, not a link to creating a contact, and then having to select outlook or SIM. This is the last part i could not figure out so far. I'm sure there is a way similar to SMS (which is sub choice of tmail which includes sms, mms, email...)
Thanks

Is there a way to pass the vCard created when you clickhold a contact and select "Send as vCard" to the Outlook E-mail client as opposed to the MMS client?
It is unusual that after all this time, still Microsoft has not fixed this problem. Although this reply is 9 months late, there is a temporary workaround for this.
When you select a contact and choose "Send as vcard", the actual vcard file is created in the \Temp folder on main storage. You can cancel out of the MMS message at this point, and attach the file to a regular e-mail. The easiest way to do this is either:
1) Copy the vcard from \Temp to \My Documents, and then use the "Menu-->Insert-->File" function inside the e-mail message to attach it or
2) Use the built-in File Explorer and navigate to the \Temp folder. Hold the stylus on the vcard and choose "Send" and then pick the e-mail account you wish to use to send the vcard with

Find O2 SMS Plus in this forum. This application allows to send vcards through standard SMS service.
My email name is : Vodafone Email
#r(\windows\tmail.exe) #p(-Service "Vodafone Email" -Sync)
This does not work for me. How #r(\windows\tmail.exe) does open the email, but I cant get it to scan a particular account.
If you have skschema and have your email scanning working please share your script code, thx ?
I find it easier to do it this way -
Using a File Explorer (Resco the best) go in to the windows directory and find tmail.exe (this is the Outlook program) and create a shortcut for it - put it wherever you want, it's up to you, but rename it to something like Email Sync.
Get the properties up for this shortcut and click the shortcut tag and fill in as below
"\windows\tmail.exe" -Service "Email Account" -sync
Obviously change the words "Email Account" to the name of your account in Outlook.
Now go back to SkSchema and within the program run the shortcut instead of doing all what you were doing.
You methods worked the only thing thats the trick is that, if your email account has these two possible name formats
Joe Email
MyEmail
Then this is the correct format
-service "Joe_Email" -sync
-service "MyEmail" -sync
Damn those spaces !!!! Dont forget the "_"
I didnt come up against that problem, my service doesnt have any spaces name, but its worth having that in the back of my mind.
On my pc i have set up the main contacts folder and a subfolder which contains all my mobile numbers [all nicely ordered etc!]
Is there anyway I can make the activesynch see this mobiles-sub_folder to sych with rather than just the main "contacts" folder of email addresses?
I tried importing from SIM and the process is screwed up:
What was "John Smith" home number on my SE (backup to SIM)
imports as "forename" - blank
Surname - smith; John/1"
So I don't think I could even use the re-sorting cab file to re-order them first name/Surname and would have to edit >180 contacts unless I can synch with the Outlook Folder.
Help Appreciated!
I didn't even know you could make additional folders in outlook...
You should merge the contacts, as in so that mobile and e-mail address for the same person are in the same contact - as it's meant to be.
If you want to differenciate, use categories.
If you don't want to / can't merge, or they're simply completely different people, I'd assign let's say a "phone" category to all your phone contacts, a "mobile" category to the mobile ones. Then move all the "mobile" ones into the main folder.
You can always filter by category afterwards, both on outlook and on the phone.
Okay thanks
Reading around, I see that ActiveSync can't synch with sub-folder.
It is rather poor that MS software will not do something with MS software than a 3rd party App [that Ericsson provided] will do.
Hi Guys
Like a few of us here, after a soft reset, I *sometimes* find that my pop3 accounts have disappeared leaving me with just 'Outlook' and 'Hotmail'
Having posted a thread about this and not got (m)any suggestions I've decided to look at it another way...or at least ask another question
Here we go then:
Is there anyway to export a particular registry setting or settings that would contain ALL my email account details? I've got a registry editor on my HD2...just need to know what to export if it's possible. I'm not fussed about the actual messages themselves, just the pop3/smtp/username/password stuff
Most of the email info is in the databases, not the registry. SK Tools allows you to export email accounts with the Pim info tool. It's the way to go.
Exporting email accounts
Hey FT
Thanks for the quick reply. I've got SK Tools on the HD2. I looked under the PIM Information options and I can see the account names but am I backing up the *settings*? If I select the check boxes for the relevant accounts...it looks like I'm backing up the MESSAGES (based on the 'count' in the message column)
Sorry to be a bit thick, but I want to ensure I'm backing up the right stuff
All you do is long press on an account, and then select 'export' from the context menu. It exports the account as an xml, and it may also export emails; I always delete my emails, so that field is empty for me. To restore, you just select 'import' from the action menu.
The real question is what did you mess up in the rom so that it doesn't save the email settings? Did you leave out any sys packages, or remove xip modules?
search for rapiconfig. It lets you extract Email, Wifi and Sync information. You can find it in SDAutoRun thread.
Brilliant F Ted- no I didn't mess up the rom, AFAIK it's a bug on the HD2 that sometimes deletes email accounts
I'm using MS Exchange account and after a new contact is created or names of an existing one are changed the "File As" property is changed to LastNameFirstNameMiddleName (without interval or coma). Existing contacts' File As property (set to FirstName LastName) is not respected.
I tried looking through Android's SDK to write a small program to fix this, but couldn't find a way to access the field. It looks like the SDK doesn't know about that kind of field.
The consequences are:
1. Contacts in OWA are not displayed user friendly as Paul Smith Anderson is displayed AndersonPaulSmith?!
2. Birthdays are also added as AndersonPaulSmith - Birthday
Editing contacts in Outlook/OWA leads to another problem - picture size limitation. They scale the contact's picture down to 90x90 or something like that, which on 1080p screen looks... Also changing the File As from within Outlook/OWA removes the contact's birthday from the calendar?!
Is there a workaround for these problems?
