I just discovered it this morning.. ( i know it's been there for ages, i just had the time now. hehe) and I installed it. It's very useful as I dont have any isp pop3 mail provider. But my memory has dropped.
What's your experience? Anyone here knows how to make just store ten emails in our inbox instead of 20++?
thanks!
Hi,
I am using it for month and a half and pretty much satisfied with it, so far. I would like to have the option of syncing my Sent items too.
And would like to see from Yahoo! the version of the software currently available on the site and correction of update procedure since it makes you loose all of the previous settings.
Didn't notice any increased memory usage, well not more then usual and I am storing attachments on my SD card.
I am not sure if I understood the question about the numbers of emails...
Have been testing the appa few Weeks ago - yahoo mail has some nice features, but after all google mail is much better for me.
Syncin' with the yahoo account is very simple and worked fine for me. But i dislike the client software on the ppc - one of the issues is, that it only works with POutlook, other products like Pocket Informant dont start if being activated through the app...

Sorry bout the confusing question. I think I was up too early and I'm a little addled.. ok, nuff excuses..
anyway, what i meant was up to how many email messages are shown in your inbox? Is there any setting to say that it should only sync the ten most recent messages? Can I delete the email from my phone? Im scared that if I delete it in my fone, it might also delete it from my yahoo web inbox when I sync.
hmmm.. now ive asked too many questions.... sorry & thanks in advance for your reply..
where do you download a HTC Universal Yahoo Go?
When I go to their homepage they don't allow me to...
I loved this app but since my os is wm6 i cant run it
I'm running the leaked version of the Cingular rom and while I know this isn't final I was kinda hoping that some things would get fixed. One of them being the missing email problem.
After a few hours receiving a email it just disappears into thin air!!!!! and yes I have it set to always show emails no matter how old they are..
Where are my emails going? I want to keep ALL my emails until I decide to delete them..
Anyone got any suggestions? I have tried everything and nothing works..
Out of curiosity am I the only one on a 8525 that has this problem?
Have you used the site search, and tried the retrieve 999kb header fix?
Yes and they still dissapear..
I have tried everything..
i too am having this problem. you are not alone. guess now i will be trying out 3rd party mail clients for the time being. everything else with the upgrade is fantastic so im not going back
This is still an issue with me also. Using a verizon pop3 account.
Incorrect Settings...??

In order to help, we need to know what pop account you are using... for instance, I had this problem with Gmail messages disappearing after a couple of hours to a day... found out that there is a non published setting that appears when using the phone's auto config feature... Let me explain...
when setting up the pop3 account for gmail, the settings are as included on their website... problem is that I have my outlook connected at home and constantly checking messages, and is configured to leave messages on server.... But with the other machine pulling the messages, for some reason they disappear on my TyTN even though I have it set to grab messages for the last 7 days...
what the auto config feature has done was to add "recent:" without the quotes in front of my account name, so it reads "recent:[email protected]"... Once that was done, my messages stopped automatically disappearing... Try it, what do you have to lose that you haven't lost already...

The first setup I edited out the "recent" and had the disappearing mail problem - I deleted that email account and ran the setup again leaving the "recent:" text in and bingo my Gmail works as it should on my P3600i.
Thanks for the tip.
PS. The only bug now is that the mail that I sent also appears in the Inbox - is there a way to correct this?
As seen in recent WM6.5 cooked roms, there's a feature called Microsoft My Phone, which should be an online synch of contacts and whatsoever on the phone. Anyone got to try that?
http://myphone.microsoft.com
I got it on my Diamond, tried it out. It works as advertised. It backs up your stuff in the cloud, and everything is accessible via web as well.
However, I sync my contacts with my school's Exchange server and also with Windows Live, so it's kinda useless for me.
I guess if you aren't synced to another service and if you flash different roms a lot, this can be useful. It backs up everything (text messages, media, contacts, documents, etc)
The only complaint I have is that it just syncs up anything, so it takes pictures from Opera's cache. My my phone is already full of random small images and gifs from the Opera folder. I don't think there's a way to assign different folders not to sync.
I can't get why, but I can't use that. I signed, I got the mail from MS telling me I've been enabled, I even downloaded the latest cab from the MS Live Page but this just won't allow me to synch, reporting MSN ID issues. Anyone got this working under WM6.5?

Apparently, there was this issue, check the link here.

I read it was only compatible with WM6 and 6.1 but the workaround you pointed worked great! I could finally synch, even with 6.5 ROM! Thanks!
MyPhone sucks!
I think myphone sucks! What do i need an other stand-alone service for? is it that hard to connect it to windows live? or mesh? or whatever the f****** services name is?

Have you ever been able to sign in?
Also, when I signed up, there were limited places on the beta program, and it took about a week before I got allocated a place...
I'm currently using an exchange server, but MyPhone backs up my pictures and text messages, which Exchange just can't do.

After the initial waiting period (to be picked), and after a fresh install of the app downloaded right from MS (not the one in 6.5ROMs, it's buggy), I was able to sign in and synch in a couple of seconds.

That´s maybe it. I received my invitation on Saturday, and I have never been able to sign in. Although, when I enter a incorrect address it says WRONG ID. So I guess I´m still not allowed. I´ll wait a week.
I reinstall and still no server connection.
Thanks guys!
Keep you posted!

Was there a "click here to verify" link in the email?
No!
It was not!
just https://myphone.microsoft.com
should I have it? mmm interesting!
I've found the myphone app very usefull. I've been testing a load of ROMs over the last couple days and without the myphone app it would be annoying trying to backup and restore all my contacts, text messages and calendar items all the time.
After using myphone for about a week I have come to the conclusion that Dashwire is a lot better. Both the phone interface and the web interface win hands down in my opinion.
Check it out dashwire.com/
wow! this is interesting!
I create a new account @hotmail.es
I received the invitation! and it syncs!
awesome isnt it?
shame i have to remember something else
Okay, my first thoughts on the Hero.
Good
------
Hardware is lovely. The unit feels just right in the hand, and graphite colour is great.
Screen is very sharp and has excellent colour.
Sense UI is a huge improvement over stock Android is virtually every way.
HTC E-Mail client is great compared to standard cupcake version.
Browser is very fast, and text wrapping is very effective.
Phone is now unlocked and running on Vodafone (thanks to the folks at unlock-now.com). It detects this, and offers to update all my settings accordingly. Nice.
Bad
----
HTC Smart Dialer doesn't correctly display contacts that only have a company name in them. The numbers show up but with 'unknown' next to them. They display properly in the 'People' application, so it's definitely a HTC bug (I seem to remember the same problem with early versions of this dialer on WM).
GMail client won't let me set a 'reply-to' field. I use GMail for all my e-mail, but use a forwarding service (pobox.com) so want to set my reply to field accordingly. I can get the functionality by using the HTC e-mail client, but then I lose HTML mail capability.
GMail and HTC Mail don't integrate in the mail widget. You can only see accounts configured using HTC Mail.
Flash in browser is very hit and miss. Some simply stuff works, but not much.
Standard calendar application is rubbish. The iPhone is way better here. I guess I'll be looking for a third party alternative.
I'll post more as I discover it.
Bagpuss.
Cool, thanks for the quick update.
When you say the standard calendar is rubbish, can you elaberate more on this? I use the calendar quite a bit and was hoping there would be a widget to show tasks/appointments on my home screen.
Any chance of a video going round the calendar or a good detailed explanation of it?
Sorry to ask again, but the reviews say that the phone WILL sync directly with Outlook (not just exchange) and I have ordered one on that understanding. Could you confirm this for me, please? Ta...

Sorry, don't know about this as I don't use Windows or Outlook.
From what I understand, you can sync with Outlook, but you need to use the HTC Sync software. The only problem is that HTC haven't yet made the Hero version available for download. If you go to their support site, they don't have a section for the Hero yet. I'm guessing this will change once the phone is officially released SIM free.

The main problem is that you can't get a month view, and be able to move across days to see what they actually contain. On my E71, you see the month calendar on the left, and a small pane on the right which changes to show the events for each day. On the iPhone, you get something similar, but see the details at the bottom of the screen. On the Hero, you get a full screen month display, but have to click on individual days to see the detail. Not a big thing for some, but it's a change to what I like.
You can go to what they call 'Agenda' view which gives you a long list of all upcoming appointments, but you can't get a week view. There is a day view, however.
There is a calendar widget, and it does show today and tomorrow details, but it's very small.
Hope that helps,
Bagpuss.

Hi I´m newby spanish user.

Any Speed Issues noticed? Can You give us a brief Comparison to fE iphone 3G, 3GS or maybe TouchHD/Blackstone?
Thanks for the quick little review!
Just a quick couple of questions:
- Im not believing the battery life some have stated as the phone seems to be fully working round the clock
- Can the handset be rotated the other landscape way? So that the trackball is on the left side?

That's exactly were I got it unlocked. They were incredibly fast. I had my unlock code within about 10 minutes of ordering.
Simply insert your foreign SIM, it will prompt you for the unlock code. Enter the code from unlock-now.com, and it all works.

Not sure on the battery life at the moment, as I've not had it long enough to tell.
Sadly, you can't rotate it so the trackball is on the left. It's only a software thing, though, so HTC might implement it in future.

Hi Bagpuss,
I have a question. I have two different gmail addresses that I normally use. Is it possible to have the two accounts setup in the phone? Basically I want to know how it handles two e-mail accounts and two google calendar accounts.
Thanks mate.

yes the sync software for the orange phone is on the micro sd card provided you plug it in go to mass storage mode and then run the .exe I have syncned all my contacts and calendar , unfortunatly you cannot sync any other outlook items this way currently

you set up the reply to address on the Gmail website.
It's in Settings > accounts, and it sends as whatever you have the default email address set to in the 'send mail as' section.

No, you can not be signed in to two Gmail accounts at once. you can set up a second Gmail account in the mail application to access your mail from the second account, but i don't know any way to access calendars from a second account unless you can share calendars between accounts. maybe that will work?
How is the screen outdoors?

Thanks, I think that will do. I can sign in with one of the Gmail accounts and set the other one in the mail application. Regarding the calendars I just noticed that all my google calendars are only in one of the accounts. So I will sign in on the phone with that one and use the other only in the mail application.
The only problem will be moving all my contacts from one account to the other...

Just got mine as well,
I noticed that there was considerable amount of lag for the first hour of using it, but now all the lag is gone and its working amazingly well.
HTC have taken a lot of the ideas from this site and implemented it in the sense ui, Customising the phone is fun and really easy, the only thing I'm unhappy with is being unable to get my Hotmail, and I don't really want it forwarded to my gmail.

Correct me if wrong, but you can always create a new dummy gmail account, forward your mail to that, and set in the gmail website that your 'identity mail address' (from address AND reply-to) is your hotmail address.
that way other people will not notice you use gmail to retrieve it (unless they look in the headers). Thing is you can't manage your hotmail account that way (delete / move / mark as read your mail)

Funnily I got hotmail working through the standard email app, it doesn't push the email but you can set the frequency at which it syncs, so it's good enough.
Also while using the hero i'v noticed that some times the phone doesn't respond after unlocking and it takes a couple of seconds to respond to your touch.
got mine this morning
only just got home to play with it.....
must say it really "feels"like a nice phone....time to play now
hi all to the lucky owners
reading mobile-review and engadget review they say about slowness and sluggyness and lag and devilsh ****ness
is it becouse they have some prototipe sample or do you confirm all this lag and slowness ?
thanks guys
Hey guys. Did an extensive search and Im 99.9% sure this hasnt been covered here before. The only solution was on cnet and it doesnt seem to be working.
Anyhow, is there a way to get push email for Hotmail on the HD2?
Windows Live Messenger application will give you push email.
Watch out for the Sync Contacts check box when you set it up, it will merge your email address contacts with your phone contacts and cause a right mess. you have been warned!

So I signed into WLM, left it running and sent an email, but I didnt recieve any notifications. I had to hit the send/recieve option to retrieve the email.
Im starting to regret getting this phone. So many issues, and its just the first day.
You have to go the sync schedule and choose for items to come as they arrive. you can set what you want it to do in peak and off peak times, and then define what you want as peak and off peak if i recall correctly
mate, its "not so many issues"...its just the first day. When i got my first WM and fisrt smart phone aswell, which was the touch HD, i wasnt too impressed until i started flashing roms, and learnt how the device works. give it time, its honestly far more interesting than most phones, WM phones are the first phones where i havent lost interest in a phone after owning it for a while (as happens with all devices! and im somewhat of a tech geek )

Nice one mate. Ill have a look into it.
Yeah, I guess my sentiments are a little premature. Just need to adjust after owning BB's for the last 8 years.
Thanks for the advice, and Ill let you know how I get on.
that is no 'true' push mail and setting it to as items arive will couse a lot of battery drain its just that the free hotmail accounts don't support that feature.
What is push email then? i always assumed its when items arrive as they come :\
I forward my hotmail along with all my accounts to my gmail. This way I get true push email, contacts and calendar.
again, what IS "true" push email! please someone enlighten me...
