Hi,
I've been searching through this forum for a while, and I can't seem to find a thread (if it exists) of an alternative MMS program for the Tmobile MDA. I currently own one, and I just don't like the one that's "built-in" to the regular messaging system. Is there a better one out there perhaps? If so, where can I find it?
Thanks,
Q
There is a nice (commercial) program called FLEXMAIL 2007. It does not only look like Outlook Express, it also supports HTML email as well as SMS / MMS. Wehn you install it it will ask you if you want it to be the default messaging application (including SMS).
A trial version and further information can be found at their homepage at: http://webis.net/products_info.php?p_id=mail
Allthrough it might not be the best solution it offers a lot more than your standard built-in message application!
Hey,
Thanks, I checked it out, but it only had a mail/sms replacement...not MMS...
I've poured through many of the threads, and you guys are doing awesome work!
I have a Treo 750, and was interested in seeing if anyone is using a skin or program where they're able to support multiple email accounts on the today screen new email notification.
For example my normal WM6 today screen shows both my Yahoo new email as well as my Exchange email. This is great because I know with a new message if it's work related or personal.
Has anyone figured a way to build this into mobile shell or any other theme program? I would be forever grateful! Thanks!

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.
Hello All,
I have a problem I am hoping has a solution. I can't find it though, so I will ask and see what comes out of it.
I would like to do either one of 2 things if it is possible...
1) Change back to the Pocket Outlook client for BOTH SMS and MMS. I found a cab that will allow Outlook to be the SMS client, but then MMS does not work. Not a real acceptable solution for me. Is there a way to get them both back?
2) There are 2 fairly important features missing from the current stock client. First and foremost is a switch to get sent messages from saving. I don't want sent messages at all. I already know what I sent, I don't need it saved for me even if I am not smart enough to know what I sent... If there is a way to stop this forced waste of space, please let me know. Another issue with the current client is that I cannot add folders to the list. Is there a way to add to the list of folders in the stock client? I would like more than in/out/sent/drafts/deleted. Is there a way to do this?
Either of these is a good solution. I kind of like the look/feel of the new client, but the missing functionality, or the lack of ability to turn off functionality, is a complete wash for me.
I am unwilling to flash a new rom to the device. I have done it and was happy, but I just prefer not to. Is there any other suggestions/fixes/tweaks that will help out with the above?
Thanks!
I've tried Touchdown and K-9 Mail and Touchdown sucks for its lack of integration and I couldn't get K-9 to work for the life of me.
Here's the the thing, I actually don't mind the built-in Exchange support in Android 2.2....with one exception. I want the notifications in my drop-down status-bar curtain to show who the email is from and a little about the email. Touchdown does this, and I would suspect most 3rd party messaging programs do this. The built-in SMS client does this.
I am new to Android and am only really familiar with the world of Windows, .dlls, and the registry. I know, if this were a shortcoming in Windows, someone could figure out where the function call is, and make that status-bar info populate like I am asking.
Is there a way we can modify a file somewhere, somehow to accomplish this in the world of Android?
I am sure the phone would need to be rooted.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer!
