Feeling a little leary about doing reg edits on my device, so I'm wondering if anyone has a cab that will move the mail/attachments to my storage card? I have done the PIE Cache switch, but not the mail yet. If it hasn't been made, I'll just deal with "trying" to figure out the reg edits.
there is a hack to this, i cannot remember where it is exactly, just search the forum and you will find it.

Yeah I'm trying to avoid the RegEdit. There has to be someone who has made this cab.
Alrighty... Now I'm a bit confused. I tried to follow the directions below (from Mike Temporale's site) and can't get to the proper RegEdit. I really must be doing something wrong. Anyone care to help out with this one? I am available via IM or phone in the US. Just drop me a PM and I can either call you or I'll give you my IM address (sorry not posting it online).
Also I'm using Total Commander for RegEdits because PHM wouldn't install properly.

Another thing you can do is to move the storage of email and attachments out of main memory and on to the storage card. This change involves making changes to the registry, so you'll want to be extra safe when making this change. First thing you need to do is create a couple folders on your storage card. The first folder should be \Storage Card\Mail\ and the second folder should be \Storage Card\Mail\Attachments\ You can call them whatever you want, but I would recommend using the standard names. Once these are created, you'll need to edit your registry. Open your favourite Windows Mobile registry editor and browse to HKRY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\MAPI and create 2 new string values. The first should be called PropertyPath and should have a value matching the mail folder you created. The second should be called AttachPath and should have a value matchings the attachments folder you created. So PropertyPath = \Storage Card\Mail and AttachPath = \Storage Card\Mail\Attachments
maybe this is not what you're looking for but you can just modify this in your inbox. just go to the mailacount, select menu -> extra -> options -> storage -> and then select "save attachments on storage card". It's as easy as that.

it works for my exchange account, but I had to set the mail options to storage card prior to syncing with exchange. My attachment folder is currently at 55 mb..And i don't have any other mail accounts, but my exchange account going to my pda...

this is quite useful
My exchange server is sending me the emails over umts as soon as they arrive but they are auto saved on my device memory.
How can I change it that it will be saved diretly on my storage card?
I would like to think that there is a way to do it automaticaly...
Thanks,
Eldi
This can be done using some of the memory tools programs- SK Tools, Memmaid etc. I think only attachments can be saved to the card, ratehr than the whole email folder.
However, I wouldn't recommend saving any system files to an external card- this goes for Email, PIE Cache, DLL's etc, as there is a stong likelihood that you will suffer corruptions or device lockups, due to the relatively slow speed of external cards, and the delay in initialisation when starting up.
You may try this one:
Change the location of email and attachments
When reading and sending email in Pocket Outlook, emails and their attachments are saved in the device's internal storage by default. You can change this location to, for example, your Storage Card:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MAPI\PropertyPath = "\Storage Card\Mail" (REG_SZ string, no quotes) HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MAPI\AttachPath = "\Storage Card\Mail\Attachments" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To return to the original location:
Just simply delete these Registry settings (since neither is included by default).
It is copy/paste from here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other
under options in the account settings window you can easily select this...
no need to use a registry editor...

This option is available only for attachments and not for the txt mail.

Thanks, that loos like it should work... but... how do I reach the registry?
Changing the path seems to be working for all new emails coming in, but how do you move the old emails and their attachments from the internal memory to the SD-Card in order to release the data memory? Where do I find this dataload? I desperately need an answer to this question as all the emails (and the same goes for calendar entries and contacts) are taking way too much memory space almost making my HTC HD2 freeze all the time... Unfortunately I don't have that much programs to move to the SD card in order to release space and the temporary memory files are frequently being erased as well....
Hi,
this is my problem:
The device memory on my PPC is very low so I enabled the Extended Storage on my device, deleted all the operator cabs and installed some application into it.
The problem is, that this \ExtStorage is shown as a storage card in my explorer. So Pocket Outlook offers to store email attachments only into this place.
What can I do now? Can I change the registry, so that outlook stores the files onto the true SD card?
Or can I disable the Extended Storage and all the shortcuts to the apps there will still work?
Hey guys,
For some reason I believe the my email cache and downloaded messages are saved in the phone memory ?!
How can i change the storage location of my outlook mail ? as well as another email that I added (not outlook) ?
if you are wanting to free up space by moving attachments you can move it to the storage card.
Start->Email->Highlight the outlook account->menu->options
then select the storage tab and check the box so that the phone will use the storage card for all attachments
Thank you very very much
Move all to mem card

try this cab, I've used it on all my phones with no issues, BUT I dont have a HD2 as yet to confirm.
I have this installed as my first add on cab after a rom update.

Moves all the messages etc onto mem card ie off the main memory.
Save space when like me I have 3 email accounts 6000+emails, plus some attachments, and if anyone asks yes it does take a while to resync after a flash..
cheers

Hello all,
has any of you tried this?
As I have seen some issues with a folder Storage Card2 issue, I'd like a feedback on the Leo/HD2 before trying it...
Basically, I have one mail of 10Mo on the main memory of my phone, stored in the Windows\messaging.
I have gone in the mail menu, options and storage " use Strage card".
I have the folder now on the storage card Inbox.mstxxxxxx.yyyyyy
but nothing in yet...
ie it did not move the existing messages to it yet...
How and when is it supposed to do it?
Sincerely,
vdelab

Ehum, I wouldnt be so sure. That cab adds/changes these two keys:
[HLKLM\System\Inbox\Settings]
AttachPath = "\Internal Storage\Messaging\Attachments"
PropertyPath = "\Internal Storage\Messaging"
Afaik, "Internal Storage" isnt mapped to the Storage Card in any way, at least not on the HD2? Has anyone tried this cab on the HD2? Might work if simply changed to "\Storage Card\Messaging\Attachments" and "\Storage Card\Messaging" respectively?
Use with caution
I would use this with extreme caution. All testing I have done on the HD2 (moving my mail files was one of the first things I tried when I got the device back in November) has suggested that the usual registry hack does not work and will merely create the Storage Card 2 issue. It's easy enough to sort out but it certainly won't move the mail files.
If anyone knows different and has got anything working in this respect please correct me but I believe the HD2 just won't play ball.
For what it's worth, the best guess I have at the problem is that the some element of the mail application is kicking off before the Storage Card is mounted
HTC HD2 Work Around - I assume
The reason y it keeps renaming to Storage Card2 because when you boot your phone, the HTC Home looks for your mails which should be technically in the actual memory card(storage card) once you've tweaked the reg. This happens while the phone is yet to detect the memory card. Due to the unavailabilty of the mem card, it creates a folder in root directorynamed 'storage card' then the phone detects the mem card and renames it to storage card 2 for obvious reasons.
Now the workaround, install all the four cabs for cache, email, etc... and then regedit "HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings" and edit
<parm name="PropertyPath" value="\Outlook\Mail" and "AttachPath" value="\Storage Card\Mail\Attachments". The mail headers remain in phone memory, so that it can be detected on boot ups and avoids from renamings of storage cards, but the attachment stays in the mem card.
I edited the registry and set "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox\Settings\PropertyPath" = "\Storage Card\email\". After the first soft reset, I had the "Storage Card2" problem, so I went into Resco Explorer and moved the "email" directory to "\Storage Card2\email\", then soft reset again. On the 2nd boot, Storage Card is back to being named as Storage Card, and now, all my emails are on the Storage Card instead of internal memory.
I have over 4000 emails with attachments downloaded now without any impact on internal storage space.
-edit-
I'm still getting the "Storage Card2" problem on a few soft resets... I guess the only way is to have the email text on the device and attachments in the Storage Card...

Please could someone advise the cabs information as above RED, thanks in advance.
@ben19
I don't believe your solution is any different to that which can be achieved by setting attachments to be stored on the card from within Pocket Outlook - which is also potentially safer as it doesn't involve a registry hack by the user.
@gregwee
I believe you will be stuck with the Storage card 2 issue until someone manages to crack the fact that the HD2 seems to load up email before it mounts the card. You are therefore correct in that having mail in main memory and attachments in the card is about the best we can do for now.
@apieceofcake
For the reasons above, I don't think any CAB will address the fundamental issue so my advice would be not to bother and simply set your attachments to be stored on the card
I would love to see a cab-file that could move all messages (not only headers) to my storage card as default.
Bit of a joke. its a Windows based product, need to get all my Outlook mail. Internal memory is now full. Have nothing else on the bloody phone except for 2 apps. Need help with this urgently as I can't put up with this much longer!

FYI
pocket mechanic can relocate Outlook emails to your sd card, hope that helps.
Thanks S21s20! Have you confirmed it works for the HTC HD2?
Guys. I have a question about synchronizing an exchange mailbox. With my former phone, the Blackstone, I was used to set the registry tweaks for the path where the mails were stored on the storage card. But those tweaks don't work with the Leo because the storage card is initialized in a different way. So when those tweaks are enabled, my storage card becomes storage card2. Is there a way to make this work or make sure the mails are stored at the storage card in a, before specified, directory?
Do you mean
Inbox>Menu>Tools>Options> and at the bottom storage
and tick the box, (when available use this storage card to store the attachments)
??
Yeah, well partly this is what I was looking for. But it now only stores the attachments on the storage card not the mails. And I like to store the mails on that place as well.
