Email signature and reply all issues

Hi all,
Love the X1 but have a few niggles which bother me on a daily basis:
1. Email Signature
When ever I have reset the phone or lost power for some reason, my signature reverts to the "sent from my x1" signature. Have to change it back each time. Oddly, it only happens to the signature on my Exchange email, the Gmail one I use is not affected. It stays as what I set it as.
2. Reply All
I noticed this one on my crappy Omnia (had 3 in a row, all faulty). Must be a WM6.1 thing... When I am on the To part of the email, I select Reply All and it decides to send me my reply. How stupid!
Has anyone else seen these issues please?

Open the file explorer of your choice. Go to \Windows\Autostart\ or \Windows\Startup\ (depending on your ROM) and delete the file SignatureReplicator.exe, voila, you can now set your own exchange e-mail signature.

Thanks for that!! Brilliant answer.
I assume the Reply all issue just bothers all WM6.1 users and I have to live with it?

Basically it is saying that Messaging does not really know who you are, so to work around that issue, you have to enter your email address for that account.
There are instructions shown in the link.
Hope it helps.

This is really nice to have this stupid little problem fixed, thanks!

Odd - if you set up a new account (I have a gmx account) you don't get these issues... I think it only applies to the default outlook inbox account. My GMX account is a seperate inbox........

hotmail problems . read here

HI , after loads of frustration not being able to set up HOTMAIL on a WINDOWS MOBILE phone (HD2) i have about given up .
i have called my provider and contacted HTC and searched the net over and over for a solution .
i havent found a thing to set up my hotmail account to receive mails directly to my account until this morning while surfing YET AGAIN for a solution .
i thought i would share this with others that are having the same problem with their HOTMAIL account .
this worked for me so far . i have to click on Send/receive to receive an email but maybe it will work if i just wait out the 5 minute intervals for receiving , which i havent done yet.
I have waited the 5 minutes to receive and it is working . just to clairify !
for a person like me that isnt very good at setting up the settings correctly this was easy and problem free
here are the steps
1. Create a new email account.
2. In the email field write your email but replace the “@hotmail.com” with “@hotmail.con”, this way the OS is not going to load Windows live messenger to sync your email.
3. Disable the option “Try to get e-mail settings…”
4. Select the email provider, in this case, Internet e-mail.
5. Complete the name and account display name
6. Incoming server: “pop3.live.com:995″. Account type: POP3
7. Complete the form with your username and password. Note: the username is your full email address: “[email protected]” and not “yourusername”.
8. Outgoing mail server: “smtp.live.com:25″. Check the “outgoing server requires au…”. Click on Advanced settings and check the “Require SSL…” for incoming and outgoing e-mail.
9. Complete the rest of the setup.
10. Now, go to your email account and go to Tools > Options, once there, click on the email account you just created and click on “Edit account setup.” NOTE: It might make you wait until it syncs 1 time.
11. Replace the “@hotmail.con” with the right one “@hotmail.com” and hit next ’till the end of the setup, and done.
now click the HOME button on your handset .go to your email accounts and you will see a new email called hotmail.con .
this is the new email you just created .
you can now receive emails from your hotmail account .
click manually send / receive and it should start loading everything from your hotmail account .
I hope this has helped somone out there .
peace out !
/T
im glad this is solved .

I just don't get the whole story. You don't need to have Windows Live running in order to use Hotmail as push mail. You only need to run Windows Live ONCE in order to setup your account. After that Hotmail is working like any other mail account.

Absolutely. That post is actually for adding more hotmail accounts, which you can't do by default. (Well, it's for adding them manually, rather than through live, which in turn allows you to have more than 1.)

can you elaborate a bit more on your post .

Then search harder in future. When you've been on here longer and helped people more, you may appreciate how frustrating it is to see the same things posted repeatedly. Until that point, you don't understand so you think it's okay. This is not "more useless posts on why you posted this". This is trying to reiterate that you need to improve your "lack of search terminology".
I'm not arguing with you, so therefore will post on this matter no more. Say what you need to say and forget about it.

i have words of advice for you .
i am a senior member on another forum with 130,000 posts over many years .
if you see something that you know has been asked before , why read the Thread/post . who gave you the GOD of the forums title and the search function.
be kind , that will make your life alot easier instead of posting crap like " search harder" and so on .
i do take offence to posts like yours when i am in the newb seat on this board . welcome me and then post a simple link to the related thread that has already been posted .
not this .
your original post .

Thank you so much, Tim I finally got Hotmail working on my HD2.

Cheers m8 .
glad it al worked out .

I've followed your instructions and glad to report that it works, well kinda. The emails in my Hotmail In Box are now on my phone, but, I can't get the phone to sync to the additional folders that I have created in my Hotmail account.
Example, log into Hotmail using a browser on PC.
Go to folders and you'll have Inbox, Sent etc. I've also created a couple of others like Job Search.
Go to your email on your phone and you only have Inbox and Sent
Any ideas on how I get it to sync with the other folders in my Hotmail account?
I hope the above makes sense, shout if not and I'll do my best to go further into it.
Thanks in advance for anyone that can help.

Sorry to dig up an old post.
I have used this method to setup an additional hotmail account. It works well enough to received mails but if I read (or delete) the same mail from Outlook on my desktop PC it does not mark the mail as read (or delete it) on my HD2 even if I do a manual send and receive. Sync is set to "every 5 minutes".
Is there any way to solve this problem?

Do i ignore this?

Hello Members,
Please have a look at the below message and advise me on what to do:
Dear Account Owner
This is email from Windows Live Hotmail® and we are sending it to you account user for your safety. Due to the anonymous registration of our account which is causing congestion to our service, so we are shutting down some account and your account was amoung those to be deleted,so the purpose of this email is for you to verify that you are the owner of this account and you are still using it by filling the information below after clicking on the reply button:
* Username: .........................
* Password: ................................
* Date of Birth: ............................
* Country Or Territory: ................
Sincerely,
The Windows Live Hotmail Team
I know this is not the right place to post the above, but i have no place to go. please do not be angry with me! The questions asked above could lead to a bigger problem as you can see. Is this a scam or what?

lol, yes, ignore, delete, forget.

the first mail that you got after any registration means
"do never tell anyone your password"
this seems like a phishingmail
you can write a mail to M$-Support, an show them the mail you've got

1000000000000% scam

nobody genuine will ever ever ever email you for that info.

just remember
banks, email providers and so on will never provide you with your account details like date of birth and password. they have them already. if they want you to change something they will ask you to go to their site and logon and provide the details.
If you are in doubt never click a link an a mail but just type the name of the site in your browser yourself and login that way.

sometimes your posts are so much random, off-topic, and apparently staged that I suspect you're just trolling

Facebook Contact Link

Hi, I have searched alot and i cant find if its possible to link contacts to their facebook even if you do not have them as a friend on your FB account!
I ask this because i don't JUST LET ANYONE see my facebook i only let real and true friends see it and I dont add random class mates even though i got the contact details etc.
so my question is
is it possible to link contacts to their facebook even if you do not have them as a friend on your FB account!

I doubt it as it would be part of the security that Facebook runs, nothing to do with the device.

Facebook also allows people to set the privacy options! If the person allows EVERYONE to see the profile pic then it should download to my phone init!

Not sure if it works, but if you can it would be a manual process.
If you go to the outlook contact of someone you HAVE linked, you'll see something like this:
Code:
<HTCData><!-- Please do not modify -->
<Facebook>id:(numbers)/friendof:(mynum)</Facebook>
</HTCData><sn>id:(numbers)/friendof:(mynum)</sn>
You would copy that, paste it into your other friend's outlook contact, and edit the (numbers) portion to be that person.
AKA, a complete waste of time, but it might work.

[Q] Email + Exchange issues (auto bbc + stopping read receipts)

Hi.
(stupid me, the post title should read bcc not bbc!)
I've searched around for this but I can't seem to find anything. I recently switched from my trusty Touch HD (winmo6.1) to the Desire HD. I have a MS Exchange (2007) account and was hoping having Android might solve the issue of read receipts being automatically sent out. Whenever I read an email sent to my Exchange account where they have asked for a read receipt, the phone automatically sends the receipt. On Outlook or Thunderbird it always asks you (well it does if you set it that way). I really don't want receipts being sent out without my permission as it's a bit of an invasion of privacy. What happens if I wake in the middle of the night and happen to read some email- I don't particularly want my clients knowing I am reading emails in the middle of the night! There was no way of resolving this on WinMo but is it possible with the HTC Desire HD?
The 2nd question is still email related. I have multiple email accounts which all get sent to my Exchange account. This is fine, but if I want to reply from one of those email accounts then this is more difficult. The only way I could think of was to set up the other accounts as imap/pop3 accounts so that I can at least reply from them. The only thing is I don't want it to download all those messages again. there doesn't seem to be an option to not automatically download emails to an account (so you can just use it for sending email). Am I missing something?
Finally, it's great that HTC have given an option to automatically bcc yourself, but it's not anything more than that. I assume it emails the email address for that account, but I want to send to a specific email address which I have set up. Is this possible?
Thanks again!

Yes, I am 100%. I was aware of the Exchange 2010 thread, but it's not relevent to my question. I use Exchange 2007, but my question referrs to being able to send to a specific email address on bcc, being able to set other accounts not to download email (so I can use them only for sending), and about read receipts.
Perhaps I should have posted this in the questions and answers thread at the top, but I thought it would be ok to post a new thread.
I'm still new to this forum, and to be honest I'm always a bit wary of posting something in case I get a "use the search facility" type answer. I do understand it's important not to clutter up things in the forum, but we don't want to scare off the newbies do we?!
If this should be in the questions and answers thread then please close and I'll repost there.
