Few questions.

Is there any way to stop the contacts on my sim from showing up in contacts ? I only want the ones I have put in the phone to be visible. I cant find an option to view only contacts and not contacts and sim.
Is there a quick way via the on screen keyboard to select all items ie in your text inbox or email inbox or hotmail inbox etc. I keep having to drag the pen all the way down over the items and then holding down and selecting delete.
Shift and down didnt seem to work like on a pc unless im doing it wrong.
Also is there any way to check for email on my pop 3 and hotmail without having to select each account ?
Cheers

birthday reminder

Hi,
I like on the Xperia thht in the calender, when somebody has Bithday it shows you the age. I have two problems:
1) If I look the month it doens't show when somebody has birthday, I have to check every single day, which I sometime forget on weekends. Is this changeble?
2) I have a german Xperia and the birthday are written like this: Birthday of sbd. If the name is long it's like this: Birthday of Jimmy Exempl... The name is too long and I can't see the person's age anymore. Tapping on the "appointment" won't help either. How could I see the age?
Thx
On mine I don't even see birthdays or anniversaries showing up on my calendars even though they are on the contact info. How do I make them show up with a reminder?

Sync it with Outlook, then they are shown like appointments. Don't know if that's a bug or a feature from WM, but it works this way.

Same problem here. I have lots os contacts with birthday but they dont show up in the calendar
I use spb shell as a panel, and I would like to see highlight of birthdays, although I even dont see any highlight in this panel calendar.
Is there a way to resolve this?
Thks in advance
i think that you should use today agenda as it has many featuers when it comes to displaying calendar entryes. The downside is that you can use it only in normal Today screen.
§%§%)(/%"§
I synchronized all contacts and birthdays with Outlook 2007 and everything is shown in my calendar ( "Name Surname (Year)"). At midnight I get a notifcation "Birthday of Name Surname". That's okay, but I will see the birthdays in my "ToDo-List" / list of appointments one or two days BEFORE!
I don't need a notification ad midnight or 10:00 am "TODAY: Your wifes birthday!" That's too late
Any ideas how to get them in the list of appointments?
Use another software as calendar replacement, like Pocket Informant or Agenda Fusion, or Agenda One, or Agendus Pro (probably there are other software that can do it). They can do it easily without any sync with a pc.

Can I remove Outlook mail?

Can I remove outlook mail from TF3d? Every time I check my mail its on the outlook mail icon and I have to touch my mail, just one step I don't need.
Thanks
Yes you can. When you are connected to ActiveSync, under set up, untick sync email. That should do the trick.
Cheers.
ok
Well I've done that already but the outlook icon is still there and sometimes when I check mail, outlook is highlighted and I have to press my mail which is one step I want to get rid of
Simple but useful. Thanks ;-)

You would need to wait for the phone to sync again before the changes will take effect if I'm not wrong.

calender sync

hope someone can help me. I have a HD2 and when i enter a appointment whilst im connected to my laptop it does not update outlook calender automatically unless i detach and re-attach, yet the other way round from outlook does it fine, any ideas? pleeeeeze
right click the green 'sync center' icon in your PC system tray (by the clock) and choose sync all.

Also check if you do not have more than one relationships (between the pda and multiple pc's) defined. It can be that sync is done via one partnership and not with the other one. I once found this as a problem and very confusing.

only by opening activesync on the phone (start - active sync) and clicking sync, but thats not automatic is it?
I guess the problem lies in the active sync app on eth phone. The one on the pc polls continually for changes on teh PC and sends them to the phone, the one on the phone doesn't.

Reading already read emails IMAP

Hi guys,
i got an issue that i cannot solve and the search function didnt give any solutions.
I got gmail IMAP Account on my HD2 and when i click on send and receive, only the unread emails are downloaded.
I should be able to see all emails if i go to the folder "all emails" and press send/receive again, but altough it connects, it doesnt download anything.
So the question: Is there a way to see your already read emails on your mobile phone in wm6.5 with the hd2
Thanks in advance,
Ali
are you checking teh mail from another machine? (PC perhaps) that could be removing the messages once you send and recieve from there.

i do, but it doesnt remove or download them.
When going into my gmail account online, i still can see all entries.
i checked that already
Are they in the inbox or in "all mail" in Gmail?
Only those in the inbox will display. If your other PC moves them out of it (or gmail does it on its own once the mails are retrieved by the PC) they wouldn't show.
Must be such an issue, because I use 3 imap accounts on my HD2, that are also used by 2 other PCs, and everything's fine. Those are on my own server though.
If you use gmail on the HD2 you might want to use activesync instead of imap though....

They are not moved out, in my gmail account i can see all emails in "all mail" and "inbox"
But even if, the mobile email app also has a "all mail" folder of gmail so it should work anyway
The active sync thing is not a thing you can use when you arent at home. i would like to read new emails on my phone too.

I think I see what you mean, I encountered the same "issue" and found the solution "by accident": by default the Gmail account is set to keep emails from the 3 or 6 previous days, so that it erases the messages older than 3 or 6 days on you HD2. You can set a different time period, up to 30 days I think, but no sure...
The thing is I can't remember where it is... sorry, but that may be a lead...

No, it's actually better than just imap as it enables mail push. So instead of having to check mail every X minutes it's in permanent connection through activesync over data, and you simply receive mail as soon as it arrives on your gmail account.

i know, with wm6.1 you could assign that, this isnt possible anymore as the new account options are very few

oh! i didnt know that, do i have an "imap-like" function with it too even if using a non imap client such as "pop"? I mean are mails erased after syncing them to my mobile phone from server?
i ll go and start googling how to setup my mails through active sync ...
thanks for the hint!
hmm, no good finding in xda with google.
Kilrah, can you tell me where to set it up?
Its not the usual sync-email feature where you connect your phone to the connectivity center.
is it the "outlook" account when in email tab??
If yes, whats the server adress?
im confused )

Yes, works pretty much like imap.
Regarding how to choose for how many days it will display, it's still there, still at the same place. Don't forget to scroll the menu down
