I notice a bug in the HTC Sense Mail tab, but I like someone to confirm.
ASsuming you have configure your mail a/c, go to the mail tab, and tap on the email message (i.e. the screen that shows the email content, not the left or right softkey).
it should bring out the mail client, but for me it doesn't. Can anybody confirm this?
I have that problem too sometimes. seems to come and go but I dont find it a big deal since the inbox is accessible so easily anyway
btw Im from sg as well
This is a known problem in the 1.48.XXX ROM.
To make it work again, try to go to the Start Menu and Lock your screen manually.
Somehow if you do this, tapping on the mail icon works again.

I have just started using push email (free service from mail2web) and it generally works very well. However, if I switch off my Vario II with the "Outlook E-mail" screen showing then I do not get notification that mail has arrived. If I ensure that I minimise this screen before switching off then everything works fine and I get the notification!!
Any ideas how to overcome this problem?
yea i nitoced this a while back on my 8125. just make sure you hit OK when you're done with your mail. or hit the hang up button. thats the only way around it.
Is it possible to remap the buttons on the htc home plugin (meaning the sms and email buttons located below the clock)?
I would like to be able to open PocketCM Contacts when I press on the sms button.
Would this be possible?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
htctoucher
Have you tried to search??
yeah i have tried, just I could not find anything..
I searched "remap htc touch home buttons" and every variant of these words I could think of on XDA and Google.. couldn't find any answers
have any ideas?
or did I miss a thread?
thanks
Martinhdk, I'd say at least answer the question for him. Simple Answer: you can't.

As in it's impossible to get the buttons to map to different things, or it is not really feasible (as in, it would take an enormous amount of work and programming skill)?
I was just wondering about this the other day. I have HTC Touch and I noticed that when I click on the mail button it brings me to my MMS inbox, however I would like it to bring me to my exchange inbox. Is this something which just isn't supported by HTC Touch, or is it something that no one (to your knowledge) has managed to code yet?

Hell, nothing is impossible. Look at what Slither has done with the cube! However, the HOME plugin is hardcoded to link to the things it does. There aren't any registry settings to mess with unfortunately.

Callius:
When you click on the mail button, you should have a menu button on the bottom. Click on it and goto tools then options.
This screen allows you to navigate to the box you wish. There is also a box at the bottom that you can check which says : "display account picker when opening message" this lets you choose from all your accounts.
If you want it to only go to the exchange account, you have to make sure that asterick * is next to that account if not you need to change in the settings and then when you click on mail it will go to that box!
Hope this helps!

How do I get the * , to display next to the account I want. I seem to be missing something

Just de-select the box for display account picker.
Then while on the same screen, touch the account you want to have come up when you press the email icon and that should do the trick!
I can't get it to pick up my email account automatically it just keeps constantly going into SMS instead of email when I hit the email button on the HTC Home. Very annoying! Any ideas?
Has anybody else found annoying bugs so far? Here's the ones that I've run into:
- Address Book server sync overwrites changes that you've made from the phone (haven't confirmed this one, might be my fault somehow)
- Multimedia volume slider plays your ringtone once you adjust the volume, but plays it at the volume set in the ringtone slider (not the volume that you're actually adjusting)
- Browser bookmarks list has a lot of trouble keeping site icons straight, it just kind of randomly shuffles them around to the wrong site as you load different bookmarks
- AOL Instant Messenger app shows weird behavior, not sure if it's a bug but it is definitely difficult to use in its current state. Locking the phone prevents messages from showing up, then on unlock they stream in all at once, and if you go too long without checking in on it the program will be terminated but your screen name will not be signed out of AOL's server
- There doesn't appear to be any way to set a vibration for notifications like Text Messages or IMs
- Some apps (MySpace Mobile, specifically) do not account for their process being interrupted when the screen rotates and the current action will be cancelled or the program will freeze.
Overall great phone, I'm really extremely impressed with it as a whole so far. I'm amazed at how fast my internet connection is on EDGE, my old Dash was technically on the exact same connection but took 5 or 10 times longer to load a full web page. Even without 3G the web browsing experience is comparable to using my desktop at home.

ya there is. for example, go to the main Messaging page where it shows all of your threads. Click on Menu > Settings > Vibrate (put a check mark)
same thing with IMs or EMail

Awesome, thank you! Weird that the option isn't available in the same place as setting the vibration function for the phone. Has anybody found solutions to any of these other problems?
Thanks
That fixed it for me. Thanks..its so Funny because Ive been messing around with my phone for 2 days and Just found this answer...Thanks
Android will get it wrong sometimes on sms threads when the sender is not in your contacts.
I noticed yesterday I received an sms from [email protected] and deleted it. Later an sms from +1913XXXXXXX. When I pulled up the my sms folders later, the newer, undeleted sms from the 913 number said it was from @domain.com.
(and the two are in no way related.) I did a reboot and it still displayed the same.

When I plug my G1 into my iMac the computer freezes and I need to do a hard restart. Is anyone else having this issue? My updates are current on my iMac and all of my other phones work without any problems.
when i play music and i turn of the screen, there is a jump every 15 seconds
here's an email bug...
Go to craigslist.org. I wanted to ask a seller a question. When I email from there, it gives me 2 options, to use my pop 3 email account or gmail. If I use gmail, it takes off the craigslist.org extension and replaces it with gmail.com. If i choose to send with my pop 3, it just opens a blank email without the email address. I try to copy and paste the address into the sending field, but it won't let me. I use craigslist a lot, so this is a bit of a pain...
Otherwise, lovin the G1

When it switches you over to gmail. Is the body filled out or the sender in the field?
no, just replaces the extention
Give it a try see what you find. www.craigslist.org
Actually i did try it and it worked for me.
But, i used the mobile version of Craigslist.

Did you check to see if the email button is still mapped to messaging in the "Buttons" control panel in settings?

yes. 1st thing I checked. button is set to "email". Email and messaging are different, as far as I know. Messaging is for text messaging/sms appl.

It must be a different between the 800w and the Pro because on my Pro it's set to "Messaging." Does the button work for a different application if you assign it? If so, it sounds like inbox link is broken. Otherwise the button could be physically not working which is unlikely. You could try to do a file name search to look for the 'email' application that button's trying to call and see if you can verify it works separate from the button
Have you tried a hard reset? Back up your device before you do it though.

Winger13 - Have you tried a soft reset already? If that does not help, then the hard reset seems to be the option to try.
Does anyone know how to remove a notification of a phantom e-mail from the Sense Homepage tab?
It's only on the tab at the bottom, no sign of it anywhere else, always shows one more e-mail than I have.
Have tried turning Sense off and on, turning sense off and rebooting phone, ... all the usual stuff!
Thank!

Ok what happened is the reg that shows the message count is stuck, the exe that I posted will reset the reg to show 0
I've tried it twice, but I'm still left with the notification for the extra e-mail
Ah... fixed! Someone on a forum I'm not allowed to link to posted this:
"Have you recently added a new email account or set up a new exchange sync? I found when I did this there'd be a message from MS about 'email tips' would magically appear. It appearred as a 'read' message but still added a count of 1 to the 'unread' . If it's there delete it."
This was indeed the problem!
delete please....

I then searched the forum and found the above post. I ran the exe posted, and then rebooted, which sorted it out. Thanks zelendel! I've kept the exe in case the 'phantom email notification' happens again.
