My dad is having issues viewing attachments on his Gmail account on his Focus. I also have a Focus and can view email attachments fine (both for my university email and personal Yahoo! email). He's had issues with both PowerPoint files (.pps) and an Adobe Reader file. A strange thing about this is that when he forwarded the email to me to see if it would work, the attachment appeared just fine and I was able to download it.
Thanks for any answers.
as for the adobe attachment. Does he have the free adobe x reader app installed. Also, is he saving the attachements to his phone and then open them with appropriate program. Also, he might want to delete gmail account on phone and set it up again or go into settings gmail account and see if all settings are correct.

When I use pocket explorer to check and send email using my web-based email accounts such as yahoo or gmail, the button to attach files to the messages doesn't appear when I create email messages.
Is this a natural problem of pocket IE? Is there any way to attach files to messages using web-based email and pocket IE?
most likely this has to do with how much PIE supports scripts/java and other things. I'm not so informed of exactly what the problem is, but suffice it to say that it is not supported in PIE. You might want to try netfront.
sorry, you can use a webmail like gmail which supports pop3 and then you can simply load those settings onto the Magician and work from there, that's what I do and it's far more convenient. If you don't have a gmail account and want one, PM me your email address and I'll invite you.
aha, thanks for the info Xilicon! Thanks for the offer as well. I have a gmail account already, but I haven't set it up for pop3 yet. I'll do that soon as I can. Thanks again!
Hi,
Concerning Wm5 outlook
I set up a email account, I send my self an email with a word doc attached ( not zipped). Just the word TEST within the word doc. The email account received the email and can view the attachment. This email account is connected to my email on PPC via pop setup etc.
In the PPC the email arrives and seams to download attachment.
But when I go to open the attachment I get "Unable to View attachment"..
I have mobile word installed as per Wm5
Any ideas
Only to to fix this was hard reset, re load email address manually.
Hi guys,
I have the HD2 and I set it with 2 differents accounts settings.
1st Account : my company settings in POP
2nd Account : my company settings in IMAP
From my computer, I send email to these accounts with attached a pdf file and on the email body, 3 inserted pictures (2photos and 1 pic into the signature)
In the POP account, I could access to the attached PDF file but I could not see the inserted pics.
In the IMAP account, I could see the inserted pics but not the attached pdf file.
This is very annoying as I will use the HD2 for business purpose, I have very often emails with photos inserted + word or pdf files attached...
I sent the same email to IPHONE and I could get the email with all attached files and inserted pics perfectly
Do you think that this problem is coming from wm6.5 or from the Phone ??
Pocket outlook cannot manage multi attachment
On the IMAP settings, I have set download full mail and all attachments.
On the POP, download the full email.
I realized as well that if I remove the inserted pics, I can see the attached pdf file on the IMAP account.
is someone getting the same issue ???
First XDA post. Love the forum but never had a need to post before. I am a long time user of windows mobile and the primary reason I buy windows mobile phones is because of their ability to open outlook item files.
I recently purchased the HTC HD2 from T-Mobile USA that is running windows mobile 6.5 Professional. When trying to open an outlook mail attachment I receive the following error message, "The attachment is of a file type that could be unsafe. Messaging will not open this attachment".
My profession requires me to proof-read emails before the are sent. My company does this by attaching email drafts created on a desktop by Microsoft Outlook and are typically .eml or .msg files and sent over email. These file types were supported and viewable in WM5 & WM6. How do I enable them in WM6.5?
I am currently using Energy's ROM and the stock T-Mobile USA Radio but I was having the same issue using the Stock T-Mobile ROM. I am comfortable with registry edits if that's what it takes.
Please help if you have any ideas. I've searched all over the web. If anyone would have the answers, you guys would. Thank you.
So I figured it out. After weeks of downloading multiple 3rd party email applications I also created a windows live email address which can receive emails from my work email address and push them to my device and I could open them in the default messaging program.
I found that I could open the .eml attachments using the default messenger through my microsoft live account which was strange and all I ever wanted but when I replied, I did not want it to be from my live account, I wanted it from my work address.
I went through all of the settings to see what could possibly be different and found the live account was set up as a pop3 and my work account was imap4.
I deleted my imap4 settings for my work mail and created a pop3 for the same address and now I can open .eml & .msg email attachments. Yay!

So just where are those imap4 settings? Are you setting up your work email on your phone as an Exhcange client with IMAP4 settings? Or is that on the MS Live setup?
I have this issue with email from my work Exchange account to a personal email account that I have set up on the phone (Imagio/WM 6.5). I want to accept some forwarded items (like personally specific HR-related docs) and some calendar items to update my phone's calendar, but I do NOT want my employer to "own" my phone, so am not willing to set it up as an "Exchange extension" (don't want that remote control, or 90% internal email spam to deal with).
TIA

Question as title.
When I was still using Sense, it has this function linking my fb contacts profile pictures to my phone contacts.
I was wondering if this is still doable without sense.
Thanks
1. you must have both yahoo mail and gmail account.
2 login to your yahoomail.
3.go to contact - then choose import email from facebook (it suck all your friend email address into your contact list)
4. export yahoo csv. download/save it.
5.login to your gmail
6. upload the csv file to gmail contact.
there you go.
if don't work read this.

Or use the app SyncmypixsFrom the market.
Any Contact that it doesn't find in your address book but you know is there (such as katy for Catherine etc) you can link manually. Works a charm. and the images are higher res than just from Facebook.
