Hi all,
I have a little problem with email links in a email on my HTC HD2. When i click on the link it will open a screen to check the emailadress. And it will put the whole link there and won't recognize the mailto and subject.
What can this be, on my pc the link works correctly and on a iphone or older HTC it works.
thanks for any reply.
eelos.
ps. have tested HTML and plain text, same results
anyone? please help
You're doing the link wrong. Check this page...

hi john,
Thank you for your reply. I tried every format, but here is your link.
from the opera browser it works flawless, but when i paste your link in a email i get this

img268.imageshack.us/img268/6371/screen002wg.png
it asks me to check the emailadres en when i choose the first option to send a email with outlook it paste the whole link there.
maybe you know what's the problem.
eelos.
It's not actually a problem - it's just that it's a clickable link. Copy and paste on a PC would do exactly the same thing.
What are you trying to do exactly?
hi,
No, on the pc it will open up a new email with the adress and subject.
I get work mails on my HTC HD2 with two email links in it, to approv the order or to reject the order.
All my employees get them and it will open a new email with all the parameters and you only have to press send and are sales software (server) gets the message and process its.
It works on the iphone, older HTC models etc.
But the HTC HD2 thinks the whole link is the adress, like in the pictures (sorry no direct links, still a new member.....)
hope you can help.

Okay, so you're saying it works with a mailto: link in web pages, but not ones that are in emails?
If that's the case, then I don't see a way round it. It's just the way pocket outlook behaves.
yes, i think it's the UI (manilla), that opens a screen to check the mailadres before it will go to outlook. If i open it from opera, it will go directly to outlook.
I only think it's strange that i'm the only one stumbling on to this problem.
(google won't give me any other hit)
Will try to contact HTC about this. Thank you John for your time.
greetings,
eelos.

Hey. I'm a new owner of a tytn, and everything has been going great with the learning curve. his forum sure has helped! But right now, I have a question that i cross posted in another forum in the hopes that someone can help me....
I wanted to download an attachment or two I sent myself on gmail. I connected to the gmail account via their web interface, and one was a cab file, and one was a zip file. I can see the e-mail fine, and the attchment appears as a link. However, when I right click on the attachment, I do not get the option to download the attachment. It gives me the menu-
select all text
back
refresh page
favorites
add to favorites
full screen
If I click on anything on a webpage, it gives me the option to save that thing. In fact, if I right click on the paperclip indicating that attachment instead of the link, it gives me the option of saving the picture of the paperclip.
Any ideas? is it a limitation of Gmail? Will I need to get push e-mail to be able to get attachments effectively? Or perhaps really use the e-mail functions instead of web based e-mail?
don't know about google but I can download attachments from yahoo mail or hotmail (standard and mobile versions) just fine, could be a google limitation but I believe you can download attachments from google using a third party program like flexmail.
for the record, I got an answer on HoFo... and I quote:
"neo, he's not using Mobile Outlook, he seems to be using Mobile IE to do it.
Blue Puma - what you need to do is enter in the HTML version of Google into the address bar. Go to Gmail on your desktop and click HTML and then email yourself that link. That should work.
Actually, to avoid confusion, here's a link that might work:
http://mail.google.com/mail/h/m6bqty081ipc/?"
it worked like clockwork.
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?

Regarding the reply all issues, check out the link below:

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........

Guys,
do you know where to find the html file for a new mail composer in WM6.1...?
Dear all,
I set up an email account (my workplace's) for my jade today. I am able to receive emails. However, sending emails is not possible. I will get an error message sayin that "message cannot be sent... check if there is network coverage..." I use WIFI and i am sure that there is network coverage.
Can someone please advise on the solution?
Thanks.
Delete your account definitions and try again.
Try also to configure a gmail account for example...
Hi, i tried all means i could to no avail... the error message kept poppin out...
i installed the official microsoft hotfix (tried both the msi and cab versions), to my disappointment, it did not work.
i gave up on my company email account and tried my personal yahoomail account. i seemed to have a prob with the username, i tried enterin [email protected] or just simply XXXXXX as the username, but the system did not recognize it and gave an error message.... at the end, ya, i gave up again...
can someone please enlighten me?
i bought this smartphone with the purpose that i can send/receive emails on the go... but this bug is drivin me crazy.
somebody, help... and thanks.
Can U send emails using yahoo mail (or gmail, hotmail) through normal browser ?
For company emails, sometimes a certficate is required (especially outlook). Check with your administrator.
and try to set up the email account with the program http://www.mymobiler.com/ to be very sure not to mistype anything.
af the end, if nothing works, maybe a hard reset can help? be sure to backup contacts and calendar!
Mail
An Yahoo account is html based and if you want to send and recieve, just visit the website. On the other hand if you have an account from your isp you have to configure the pop and smtp server. Just follow the instructions on your Jade
If you are using POP or IMAP looks like your SMTP options are not correct. Check with you email account company
Dear azahidi, DaM79, hadimassa and colonel,
Many thanks for your posts... however, i gave up le... now i use opera browser to send emails...
By the way, will HTC release a Windows Mobile Pro 6.5 update for Jade? If it does, then upgradin to WinMo 6.5 might solve the problem.
I have seen people flashin their PPCs with WinMo 6.5. Is it tough and dangerous? Anyone can share?

did you try to do a hard reset? maybe you have some software installed which blocks the config... dont give up! via opera is not very comfortable, right?
wm6.5, we will see. i think i remember to have read about update possiblities on http://wmpoweruser.com or on http://www.1800pocketpc.com. the general message was, update yes, but it depends - in our case - on HTC if they will release an official update.
hi DaM79,
yes, sendin emails with opera is troublesome...
i actually had tried a hard reset, but the problem persists...
still, i thank you for your help.
winmo 6.5 looks cool... i think i will wait for an official ROM or at least, when a stable and bug-free custom ROM is available.
by the way, i love Jade, it is very useful.
are you using the stock rom? what does htc support say? i mean this cant be possible somehow. i had a wm5 device before, ipaq, and email setup was more difficult but worked.
hi Dam79, i did not consult htc support and i dun think i will. does a stock ROM mean the original ROM that comes with the phone? if so, yes.
Can't send out emails too!
I have EXACTLY the same problem! I can receive emails from my work and from yahoo, but can't send out. The same error message appears and when I try to configure the email settings again, the password saved by my phone is always different than what I originally set. In the end, I also gave up and just used the browser. It would be good, though, if this problem's solved.
I bought my jade from Singapore; maybe it's a ROM problem?
Can't send emails
Is there anybody who has encountered and solved this problem?
This isn't really HD2 specific but, it's the phone that I'm using so I'm putting the thread here.
I'm trying to register on Mixi. The process starts with registering and confirming a "PC" e-mail (In my case, a g-mail account). Then, filling out personal particulars etc. etc. Finally, they ask you to put in your Japanese e-mail/phone-mail/MMS-mail account to which they send a confirmation message. I get this with no problems (many thanks again to BeeGee for helping this be possible) but, when I click the link in the message I get an error message saying there was a problem with a link to the tune of "use this link if you're on a PC".
I suspect that the problem is that the phone connects to the link like a PC rather than a Japanese phone. So the site thinks that the phone is a PC.
Now, without this final step, I can't actually complete the registration process. I have heard of the .edu work-around and will resort to that if all else fails. But having a working phone-mail address I would like to be able to use that instead.

It might be that it is expected that the link is opened in one of the strange Softbank phone browsers. The type they have on their cheap phones.
What you can try is to check the settings of your browser and set it to mobile view.
This can be done in Opera under menu/settings/display.
In Internet Explorer you go to menu/Tools/Options/Other and select Mobile Device.
Third solution, put your SIM card into a Softbank phone (not WMobile), get the confirmation email there, click on the link and it will connect thru the phones browser.
Thanks for that!
Switching to mobile view didn't work in Opera or IE.
I really should have thought of that last option myself
Thanks again BeeGee!
excuse me,,
can you help me too ?

Hi,
I'm hoping that someone might be able to help me with this.
I've just flashed to Cookie Energy Style, and had downloaded and installed the CAB for HTC Messaging, which now seems to be okay.
However, I'm wondering if there is a similar one for HTC Email. I have done a search on this thread, but can only find posts related to the text messaging side of things.
When I actually open an email and click reply, it seems to use the HTC email, which is what I wanted. However, if I'm viewing the email as the preview, or select 'New' from the menu, it opens the email/reply in Windows Email.
Is there anyway to configure this so it always uses the HTC email client instead?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There isnt a HTC email client, HTC adds some features to the winmo client, if you can see a search button in the upper right corner when you open a rcvd email msg (+ a big "To" btn upper left in outlook exchange account) then thats your lot.
