My company has asked us to set up our outlook signatures on our mobile phones. They are requesting that it looks exactly the sames. My problem is I can't get our company logo to sit in line with text. Please see attached. Does the native email app have the capability to do this?
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm told that every device supporting SMS has an email address that can receive txt messages. Something like : [email protected]
I'm on Tmobile, and would like to know that email. Could a guru lead me in the right direction?

I myself used T-mobile Mobile email. Basically this is a service that when people email your address you receive it as a text message. From my experience of this service you are charged 10p for every text received and this is not part of any allowances you may have. It usually only send you one sms of the first few words from the email.
I assume this is what you mean, see the link below for official details of the service...

In my opinion its to be used wisely and the address given to only inportant people who cant text you via a mobile phone.
Thank you for your reply. Sadly this does not seem to work very well. I had it working yesterday but today no matter how many emails I sent my phone never receives the SMS.
This is really disapointing as I'm using it to monitor the status of servers.
hi.
not familiar with t-mobile but I guess all operators are somewhat similar.
I use vodafone and the email address is connected to a standard mailbox which is reachable through a web browser. in order for the incomming mails to generate a sms I had to activate it in the same portal, I was also able to create rules on which mail that should be forwarded as an sms.
hope this helped.
br, charlie
Try something like this:
[email protected]

nope, no luck, it's very strange, that email to sms feature was working yesterday night, and today nothing.
Get the web'n'walk add-on, an account with mail2web and the AKU2 rom to enable push email. Then just email your mail2web address instead of your phone number, if a server has a problem then remotely administer it from your MDA PRO using terminal services.
Thanks for all the responses so far. I thought I'd give you a small update. Yesterday I was testing this further. My phone was receiving SMSes from other networks immediately, but none of the [email protected] made it through.
Then this morning, I received 28 text messages in one go. All at the same time.
Obviously the routing they use for the [email protected] mobile email option is cheap and unreliable.
So I've bought a few credits of an email2sms gateway, will let you know if that performs better.
Shuflie, regarding the AKU2 account, I got push email from 4smartphone - but I was under the impression that required the GPRS/3G connection to be always on on the phone? Please do correct me if I'm wrong.
Right here's the follow up as promised.
I ended up signing for sms2email. I didn't know what to expect but it turns out to be very reliable. They deliver sms super super fast, which is what I need for server monitoring.
Seems convenient, and you can use distribution lists for SMSs, meaning you don't have to create dozen of account in your monitoring software just for the purpose of ringing everyone. Apparently you can also SMS BT lines, which in turn will read the message text-to-speech if the recipient doesn't have an SMS-compatible handset.
Picture mail not working on boost any ideas or help please
http://www.sprintmogul.net/Default.aspx?tabid=54&ptid=370&threadid=4761&forumtype=posts
install winpm.cab
configure picturemail from programs.
Set up boost mobile mediamail account: https://mediamail.boostmobile.com/login.do
Sending is easy. Retrieve pictures by logging into your boost mobile media mail account. When someone sends you picture mail you will get a text message telling you to go get it. The links in the text messages have never worked for me as it looks like you have to already be logged in to mediamail to use the link.
ICBW, but I believe sprint has disabled WinMo devices from directly receiving picture mail claiming some sort of spamming problem.
I also installed Ryan Moguls MMS hotfix which allows better menu access to picture mail. For whatever reason, I can only send 1 picture mail and then soft reset the phone before sending another.
I don't think this is G1-specific or even Android-specific, but I didn't know where else to post it. I think it is T-Mobile-specific.
Whenever I compose an SMS to an email address, T-Mobile wraps it in a bunch of "junk," so the email message ends up looking like this (attachment shows it as seen in Outlook).
Is there any way to disable this (via some setting at T-Mobile)?
I am trying to use a mobile interface to a site (in this case, BillMonk) and they don't have a shortcode -- they just say to text certain string to an email address. But I think their service is choking on the T-Mobile wrapper because it is expecting just a simple text string.
Can anyone help? This is really annoying.
Thanks!

i very much doubt you can change this.
Grr. Annoying.
Can other T-Mobile USA users confirm that when they send an SMS to an email address, they always get this behavior? If we can find some people that don't suffer from this, we can perhaps find out what account settings are different.

Yep happens with me.
I know I'm not the only one that wants this...
Being an admin my box is constantly filled with stuff that I really don't want to wake me at 3am. However, when an outage or other high priority alert comes through, it would be AWESOME if I could alert on only those messages, or have a different alert for them.
Any chance that anyone is working on an app that would let the user specify an alert based on an email rule or filter? This is one I'd pay for gladly.

You want to know the really sad thing about this?
10 years ago I had a Motorola PageWriter 2000 (2way pager) that could do this right out of the box. Now here we are with the most advanced pocket computers ever seen and I can't even set a simple mail rule for a different alert.
What gives?
I'm pretty new to Android, so I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I looked into this briefly today. Unfortunately, it could be a little tricky since email is handled at the application level and Android does not provide a "new email" broadcast message for an app to listen for. This type of service would almost have to work with the email client, but since there are many different clients that a user may have installed, it gets complicated quickly.
I never said it had to be a bolt-on app. There's more than one way to skin that cat.
Assuming that the standard mail app included with the OS is also open source, take the base code for the email app, add alert rules, then replace the standard mail app with the newly upgraded one.
Another solution (and this would be uglier and perhaps not do-able) would be to insert some sort of proxy app between the email app and the outside where alert filtering could take place before the message even passes to the email client. This would allow you to use whatever client you liked. Just disable the alert on the client and let the proxy handle the alerts.
Just ideas. Surely someone can make this work.
I have had my EVO for about 2 weeks (came from a Blackberry) and noticed something odd in the address book contacts.
For every phone number within the contacts, it gives you the option to send a message. It gives you this option even if it is not a mobile number. Can this be fixed? Is there another way to store contacts within Android - because several times I've pressed the wrong number to send a message to without realizing it and then get a message of course saying they never received the message (because it was sent to their landline or fax).
Thanks in advance for your help in this matter -
Sincerely,
Kevin

This is not a glitch. Sprint offers text to landline. Edit: NVM it does not cost extra

Solution, dump the default messaging app get handcent and turn on the handcent option that only shows mobile numbers. Now when you want to type a new message make sure you go into handcent find the person there and it wont' show anything but their mobile.
many thanks...
...but was hoping that rather than a purely SMS app that there was a replacement address book app. Is there such a thing? Something with all the functionality of the default address book?
I have a gmail account - is there a google option for this? Please forgive noob question as I'm very new to android and am trying to figure this all out.
Many thanks bud.

No the address book will let you send text messages to any number. You either need to be more careful when choosing a number there to text, or instead go to your text message app and initiate new messaged through there.
