Opening E-mail Attachments? - Mogul, XV6800 General

When I receive a .pdf or Word attachment in an email from someone in my Company, my phone will not allow me to open them due to security settings. I have been unable to find any settings to allow me to lessen the security. Are there any work arounds for this?

Encrypt Message / Sign Message - Does anyone know ? HELP!

Hi,
I have a Qtek 9100, with ROM 1.6.7.1.
I've set up an IMAP account, and even installed a personal certificate. When I'm composing an e-mail, there's an option screen where two disabled checkboxes appears:
Encrypt Message
Sign Message
There's no way to enable those, and there's no place to find some reference to it. I really need to read and send S/MIME encrypted messages. I thought that AKU2 will solve this, I haven't yet got a version with AKU2, but I was wondering if someone knows how to enable it.
Searching thru the registry, there's even a handler registered for smime (exsmime.dll) and the DLL is in \windows.
At first I thought that this setting was only available to local outlook e-mail, but it doesn't work either.
Does someone know if there's a way to enable this, or if this will only work with Exchange server?
I'm kind of exhausted about this, we've implemented e-mail encryption via S/MIME some time ago, and the device is unusable for me.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks.

gmail drive for windows mobile?

It is known that gmail account can be simulated as a new drive on your PC by an application called "GMail Drive shell extension". http://www.viksoe.dk/code/gmail.htm
For Symbian there is also a program "GSpaceMobile" which can do that job. https://www.ibomobi.com/home/gspacemobile_free
So I wonder if there is such a tool for WM system which can simulate a gmail account as a network disk or some guy is willing to develop one ?
Thanks.
Bump.
This is actually a really good idea.
sounds like a neat idea, I might try to see what this would take.
Bump.
With bated breath and whisp'ring humbleness I wait for those more skilled than I take on this task.
Seems like a great idea.
Sounds like a Really useful thing to have please have a go someone
Wow! This does sound very interesting.....
i had the same idea!
but it is forbidden in the term of use of gmail...
My account has been locked
If we detect abnormal usage that may indicate that your account has been compromised, we may temporarily disable access. It will take between one minute and 24 hours for access to be reinstated, depending on the behavior detected by our system.
Unusual account activity includes, but is not limited to:
1. Receiving, deleting, or downloading large amounts of mail via POP or IMAP in a short period of time. If you're getting the error message, 'Lockdown in Sector 4,' you should be able to access Gmail again after waiting 24 hours.
2. Sending a large number of undeliverable messages (messages that bounce back).
3. Using file-sharing or file-storage software, browser extensions, or third party software that automatically logs in to your account.
4. Leaving multiple instances of Gmail open.
5. Browser-related issues. Please note that if you find your browser continually reloading while attempting to access your Inbox, it's probably a browser issue, and it may be necessary to clear your browser's cache and cookies.
If you feel that you have been using your Gmail address according to the Gmail Terms of Use, please contact us.

If you have the skill to code a gmail drive, how about this much simpler idea- an app which automatically e-mails your pictures to a g-mail account, and another app on your desktop which automatically downloads the pictures to your desktop and deletes them.
The advantage of using gmail in the middle is that the process becomes asynchronous - your pc does not have to be on to work and neither does your phone have to be contactable for your pc to download the photos.

Doesn't that include pretty much any and all automated checking, such as push mail polling and thunderbird (imap / pop) clients ?
That's pretty restrictive wording.. much like the snafu with the Chrome release, where they stated "anything you enter via forms in the browser online is now copyright google" - they had to fix that after a large public outcry.

Check out PocketPicasa which does just that. Well it gets them as far as Google anyway, then use Picasa 3 on the desktop to retrieve them.

Picassa is a heavy client, and from my checking does not do automated downloads. I would not want to have it running in the background on my desktop all the time.
Actually I have already found a VBA script for outlook that will automatically save picture attachments from an e-mail folder to my desktop, so all I really need is the windows mobile side to automatically e-mail the pictures (although a special purpose dedicated pair would be even better)

Great idea, bump.

That hardly seems like a problem. Create a second account to use with your cell. If they lock it then its a lot less troubling. Besides, they don't monitor this kind of stuff. I've been using the same concept on my pc for a long time. Being able to have a network hdd on my phone and pc would be supurb!
bumping for the greatness of the idea
Doesn't anyone with developing skills see a use for this?
I have scoured everywhere for a wm solution to gmail drive. gonna keep watch on this, hopefully someone makes it happen.
The Idea is widespread
The idea's popped up in other places as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433913
Also, I am recalling that I looked into this concept years back using Xdrive by AOL. From what I remember they released an experimental mobile version but have since shut it down. Maybe we can find a way to tap into either of these valuable resources.
I can't think of a solution for Gmail but I have been using Microsofts Live Mesh on my computers and mobile. It syncs up between your desktops and you can also access it thru the mobile browser. I don't think there is a dedicated mobile app though.
It's still a tech preview, but it should work for what you are describing.
Windows Live Mesh

"Not yet available for mobile."
The words: "Soon to be available" + the words: "Microsoft" in the same sentence = uncontrollable laughter then disinterest.
...sorry, can't help it.

[Q] [APP/Q] location based email fetching

with my SGS and android 2.2.1 i am happy in general but what i am missing is
a scheduling mechanism that can interpret if it has to fetch mail based on time and location (cell. not GPS).
let's say you don't want the phone to fetch mail when you are at home/work or otherwise you don't want it to do when you are not within a specific cell.
for the accounts that can be received from AccountManager this is no problem, but i can't get access to that ones that are stored in the emailer (POP/IMAP). (unfortunately what i am using most is POP and IMAP...)
also i'd love to have a "refresh all" button that can fetch mails from all the accounts immediately.
first of all:
does this kind of app/service already exist?
if not:
is it possible to get access to the accounts from the emailer via the API?
and if not:
where and how does the emailer store its data? is it readable anyhow?
edit: yes it is readable
providers are stored here: /data/data/com.android.email/databases/EmailProvider.db
passwords are stored in plain text!
edit: one way for accessing via AccountManager would be to implement Sync-Adapters for POP/IMAP

[Q] Exchange email plain text only

So I set up my outlook.com email address with my Verizon G2 and I can't get emails to show up as html. In the account options I've set the message size to max and tried to change the format, but only plain text shows up as an option. Half my messages are an unreadable mess. Microsoft's outlook app is terrible and I don't really want to shell out for a paid client to fix something that should be working out of the box.
Never had issues with this using any other android phone or tablet. Not too impressed with LG's software so far. Anybody have this working?

I'm sorry i can't help but just wanted to add I have the exact same problem. Haven't had this issue with our our Exchange server since the OG Droid days and Exchange 2003
IMAP
Just an FYI but IMAP from the same server displays HTML just fine, but "Exchange" connections still do not. If anyone has any ideas, i'm all ears!
---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------
well i'm sorry to say this probably won't help you but I got my exchange working by resetting the permissions in Active Directory. If you are able to contact your exchange admin then have him open active directory and perform the following. View > Ensure Advanced Features is enabled > Locate the problem user > Properties > Security > Advanced > Tick the box to "Allow inheritable permissions from this objects parent" > Apply.
I also clicked the reset to default. After applying that and then deleting my account from my phone and adding it back in, I was able to get HTML emails.
Also if anyone does this, please do so at your own risk, this is my server so I am responsible for my screw up. I have no idea at this stage if there are any side effects of doing this, so again do so at your own risk, having said that, all seems fine now.
Good luck!
