Hi
probably a really simplw question but how do I get the attachments from my emails?
I have been using my wifi when out and about to receive my emails. I get the mails no problem but theres no way I can see to get the attachments. the little attachments symbol is next to em but don't know how to get em
cheers
did'nt think i'd have to reply to me own msg but what the hell!
You realise this is a forum, not a chatboard, AND it's christmas eve right?
Anyway, I tried opening at attachment on one of my emails. Just clicked the link at the bottom of the email to get the full msg + attachments, it said it would get it next time I checked my mail. Since the phone happened to already be checking I waited a bit, and now I'm looking at a .doc file I sent to my school. It's displayed at the top of the email and when I tap it, it opens in word mobile.
So I'm not sure what's not working for you, but maybe this helps?
thanks for the reply mate. nah no msg at the bottom of the email. there is on my isp email but nothing when I get my hotmail on my xda. maybe it's cus its hotmail??
cheers
Ahh... can't help you there then, I don't use hotmail, only gmail (through pop3 access).
no problem mate. thers gotta be a way to view the attachments on hotmail accounts when getting via the xda outlook.
cheers anyway
Hi, just got the AT&T Tilt and I'm searching for a way to view my hotmail attachments... I see the little attachment icon (paperclip) but I cannot open it... anyone have the answer yet?
woot! my first post and i am happy to say that i am at a cafe writing this on my x01ht from softbank.
question:
does any one know any other mms programs that I can use besides arcsoft program. The program itself is good but when recieving mms it just doesn't decode the messege. Being in Japan mms is widely used and there is no real point if messaging if I can only use sms. SMS here is pretty much useless because of the length and pictures that people send here.
My phone is great but just missing that complete mms option. any help would be appreciated m__m at the moment I will try anything.

Sorry the title is off
^thank you for your reply^
So I am at work in Tokyo and still no solution to the problem. I know that there is Arcsoft, It works but only half the time with short messages. But really it's used to recieve short messages across networks and that's about it.
MMS composer doesn't really do what it's suppose to do, some one in the forum said that it has problems but no one has found the solution. Getting my girlfriend to find one through Japanese sites is a task and the solution points to the same problems.
Decoding error and can't recieve multimedia, I think the program is a waste of space honestly.
But is there any other alternatives?
Can I edit the program to make it recieve the error decoded message? It would be nice to know who sent the mms so I can reply and tell them that they would have to email it to my work email.
Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to your question, but how did you get an email address for MMS from Softbank? They keep telling me that you can't get one for the X01HT. Thanks

pls ignore my first comment if you have read it.
anyway, the decode issue has not been solved with MMS composer as lond as i know. i suppose it is simply a matter of time that s/b will provide software for mms. however, i don't really see a point in using mms with a device with which you can use push mail and pop3 mail for free.

s/b just says you cannot use mms with x01ht. if you put your sim in another s/b phone and set up mms, you will get an addrees, won't you?
i see ...
thanks qtotter for the quick and swift answer ^-^ ill wait around for something to happen i guess
What i acually did was installed the software for the mms composer, then i just emailed out to my gmail account. It works sometimes sending long emails but as for just a test I just sent a 1 character mail.
My email address is garbage like [email protected] but it does work only if the mms composer works. I also couldn't figure out how setup the portal to change my email address but i guess that will come later when i fix this mms problem.
i still don't understand about pushmail. has something to do with setting up your own server at home, is that right? if i could get pushmail to work it would be nice.
sorry if i have bad grammar mistakes im writting this on the train home

direct push mail is something like mms. there are a couple of ways to use this function.
1) use free server (http://www.mail2web.com/)
very easy. you cannot use your existing email address with this free service.
2) have your own exchange server (unrealistic for most people)
you can do whatever you want, but it is a little too expense for personal use.
3) use emoze (http://www.emoze.com)
seems popular. you have to have your home pc always on.
once again thanks
Now I'm at home chilling in front of my computer while I ponder about my phone bill because I am still using my old phone. I'm in a transition at the moment with my phones. Once qtotter mentioned about the Pushmail I started to search the site for some information. Some person has a free server and I'm thinking if that is a good thing to do, to put my messages a strangers server.
Thanks for the information once again, I will do my research before heading in a direction.

In my case it's because I want to have an "instant email" that is different from my work email.
As far as I can tell you can only synchronize to one exchange server/account. So I want to synch my contacts, tasks, calendar with my work exchange account but have a separate "email that I receive instantly" account just for my keitai (so don't want to synchronize email with my exchange, want to synch it with a completely different account). Seems like MMS is the only way I can do this...

What is stopping you from making a new email with Gmail or your own ISP, then just use that account for Pushmail? so then you will have 2 different emails. I would think that outlook on the X01ht would have the ability to make mulituple accounts so that you can recieve email for pushmail and another just a pop3 for your company mail.
Now I see the light and figured out that there is no difference except the email name. Pushmail and MMS is somewhat the same, I am setting up my pushmail account with austin since I don't think my emails are that important unless he would like to come to Japan and meet my friends.
But I guess I will have to wait for a reply to see if he will accept my signup.

awh_tokyo wants to use two realtime-delivery email accounts at the same time. if he uses outlook email for his company echange server, he cannot use outlook email for direct push. i suppose mms is the only way as he already knows.
(not trying to be *****y, but i am glad i can breathe without checking my email for more than 30 min.)
No, I think you're missing the scenario. Push mail is great in places where it's a pain to make a phone call. For example, in the subway when you're trying to figure out where you meet up with everybody.
I don't want my work mail mixing with the really high priority stuff from friends/family that I want to be able to interrupt me.
But what's still not answered, is how can you get Softbank to provision you an email address for this thing? Or are there server settings you can use in MMS composer to get an address? Buying another phone just to get an email assigned SIM seems ridiculous.

You can set up the right proxy settings and User-Agent string in NetFront Browser so that it will let you on to the Vodafone Live site (or whatever it's called now). Then you just go into "email settings" and setup your new address.
That's how I did it. Suppose you could also find someone with a Softbank phone and put your SIM card in it...

zafran77 thank you for that information, I went there but I couldn't access that page. I just used my girlfriends phone to change my address but then there is no point in that since MMS Composer is useless when it comes to receiving MMS'. I don't know why I still have it on my phone, 90% of the time it doesn't work.
MMS Resender
There seems to be a new program that works in tandem with the MMS Composer, re-requesting emails that generate the "decode error" so that they (assumedly) will be decoded correctly. I found few links here http://blogs.dion.ne.jp/shapo_ykp/archives/4675352.html
The few blogs I have read (or tried to read, they being in Japanese) sound hopeful that this is a true workaround/solution to the MMS problem.
I would love to try this out myself, but I can't get my hands on a copy of the MMS Composer (used to be attached to this page http://asukal.net/blog/2006/09/mms_client_for_htcz.html but has disappeared) for love or money. Anyone out there who might have that cab sitting around in their recycle bins, please chuck a copy over to larsuck at hotmail dot com and I will give these two programs a whirl.
I'm sure you can find the file somewhere on google.. I've tried the MMS Resender program and it's working so far.. although I do have problems receiving emails from websites such as yahoo.. not quite sure why tho.. but keitai (cellphone) mails seems to be working.. I think the MMS Resender acts as an agent and is used with the MMS Composer..
I used to use MMS only for sending SMSs to my home country using an SMS gateway.. and since this 2 programs seems to work with MMSs written in Japanese, I'll be using MMS for the normal mails from now on (used Gmail for this up til now)
Hey uys,
I tried searching for this but could not find the answer so please bear with me. I just purchased an X1i and am using it on at&t. I have tried t set up my .mac and gmail email accounts. I have done this on many windows mobile phones before with no problems. It seem not that my phone connects fine to the server and will send emails with no problems. However when I try to receive emails it does not find any even though I know I have them. I had my wife try sending me a few and never received them on the phone. If I go to my computer and check for them I receive them no problem. It is as if the phone isnt pulling them from the server. I dont know a ton about this stuff so any help would be appreciated!
This link has instructions on setting up Gmail on Windows Mobile 6.

I'm afraid I can't help you with the .mac thing as I can't find much information about it.
Thanks for trying! It been frustrating not getting my emails.
it's make a big difference if you set it up to use imap or pop3
I was forwarding an email the other day when somehow or other I managed to find an option to choose the account that the email was sent from - basically received on outlook email and the email app asked me if I wanted to forward from outlook, gmail or hotmail.
I'd like this option which I used to have on the iphone and found very useful, but can't seem to find it again.
Can anyone help please?
Really sorry to bump this but I'd appreciate if anyone could offer some ideas?
I came across what I think you mean only yesterday, but couldn't find this thread to tell you! Glad you bumped it.
Basically, you can't forward an email that received with account A by using account B.
What I found though, is that if you click an email address in an email, it asks which account you want to use, treating the link as a regular email link, rather than forcing you to use the account you're reading the email with.
I hope that explains it, but you definitely can't forward using a different account, and personally I think that makes sense.
John,
Thanks very much that was exactly it. The probem is that you can't do that with the senders email address, only links in the email text.
can see your point, but the option came in handy previously on occasions where I received an email at work with contents that you definitely wouldn't want to forward from that account! So I would just hit the dropdown and send from gmail instead.
In terms of enterprise management though I doubt our IT staff realised I could do it.
Thank you for your help, I appreciate it.

No worries mate - glad to help.
Just a suggestion, but could you not just forward the email to the account that you do want to forward from? Then you simply remove the header from the last email so it looks like it was never sent from that account.
I know it's long-winded, but it will achieve the desired effect.
The thought behind it was more that I wasn't forwarding emails from my work account at all, which I'd still have be doing by sending it to myself.
As you can imagine, no matter how funny rude or downright disgusting a received email is, sending it from a work address is a no-no!
Again, cheers for your help. My work round now is saving attachments to storage and then forwarding them from my own address - just as long winded.
And there's always cut and paste.
Dan.
hi,
i have no solution for the build in email. but if you not scared to try an 3rd party program that is not for free, you can give flexmail a try.
i just made a test, i forward a mail that arrived on account 'a'/at provider 'a' to an account 'c'/at provider 'c', using account 'b'/at provider 'b' as sender address. it works perfectly.
there is a trail version of the programm so you can take a look yourself bevore buying.

Hi,
I have have been a lurker here for a while as I have usually found all the info required by search. However I have a really odd problem on my HD2 whic I can not find the answer to?!
When I send images by mail my phone is adding on a email contact on every send. i only became aware as I received a reply recently. As it goes this person has received every image I have sent
My HD2 is a UK T-mobile handset with the latest T-Mobile ROM and a few regestry tweeks.
I am baffled and any help appreciated
I think I now know why this is happening... The phone seems to recognise the automatically added @ symbol when you go to send pictures via the album.
Any knowledge of how to stop this appearing? or removing the auto association?
Are you saying that you can send an email to "@" and it works?
you haven't got a contact saved as @ have you lol,
im quite confused by this

Yes, but for some reason when I am in the album and choose to send pictures by email the "@" is there by default, so I have been adding emails and the @ remains, I thought nothing of it, but now see it is associated to a contact
So I will have to manually remove this every time I send an image which is quite annoying.

Well I can't send emails to the address "@", so I suggest checking your contacts to see if there's one with that name, as mentioned above by Demon_man.
That's the only thing I can think of that would do that.
Just did a search in contacts and nothing comes up. However in email (via outlook) I just entered @ and it came up with an email address - so it seems this is an auto complete specific to my handset.
Is there a auto complete list I can access in the device memory? I searched in windows and could not find anything.
I just need to figure out how to delete the association, otherwise I am going to remove all contact details for this person and see if this resolves the issue.
OK, so I deleted the contact and tried it. Result no association with "@"
however upon re-entering the info it has returned. The email address is set up as [email protected] so I think because there is an [email protected] it recognised the @ on its own.
I would appreciate if anyone can add a dummy email with [email protected] and see if the HD2 picks up on this and feedback
Cheers!

I just tried it - created a contact with the email [email protected] and sent an image from the album to @ and it sent it to the email address I entered. It would appear that the _ is causing it to recognise the @ symbol in the email address. If you go to a normal email and put @ as the email address, when you move to the subject or body, it "fixes" the email address for you (try it - you'll see what I mean).
So I guess email addresses ending with an underscore are out!

Thank you for testing it was driving me mad!
Yes I know about the normal email that was not a problem as it does not have the @ there by default. Only when you send images from the album
I don't understand why HTC enter an @ when you try to send an image from the album as it does not really help as you have to scroll past it to complete the address!
Thanks again
