Problem switching between sms & email

Hi guys,
Im running wm6.1 on my kaiser. As we all know on the htc today screen, theres the 3 buttons below the clock... email, text, and missed calls.
i get a txt, the middle icon shows ive got 1 message. i click that, opens up my sms/mms inbox... read txt etc... close screen.
i then get an email, the left icon shows ive got 1 message. i click that, but for some unknown reason, it loads up the sms/mms inbox. I have to then switch to my email account using the drop down menu.
This never used to happen, but it does it all the time now...
Also, i created a "new account" using my gmail address, instead of using the "outlook E-mail" account... could this be causing the problem? i dont want to have to flash my ROM again, but id like to get this all working properly.
Finally, i just downloaded Slithers CUBE (SCLPC w/FTouchFLO)... and i cannot find where i need to link the email button to in the config. yes, i am a noob, but id still v much appreciate any kind of help with this matter.
thanks one and all

I believe that the Email Icon is linked to the outlook account specifically and not to a user created account (Like Gmail). If it does not find a valid outlook account then it may open up the last accessed account (E.g SMS/MMS).
Hopes this helps.

i've just created/edited the outlook account so that its got all the details etc from my gmail address... but for some reason, it comes up saying error syncronising...

While you are inside the "Message" application (I do not know the correct English word as I'm using a Norwegian version of WM), you can use the left/right button to switch between SMS/MMS, Outlook and other additional e-mail accounts.

Hey Bjorn (sorry, i cant find the propper "o")
I can see what you mean, but my issue is more that it should simply load straight into the email account. And now that ive deleted the account i created, it does just that - loads straight into the outlook account.
However, i keep getting the "error syncing" message whenever i try to download my gmail email.

My intention was just to give you an easier method for switching between your accounts, as this method should be more user-friendly than using drop-down menus
/Bjørn

Try this:
1) Download and run KaiserTweak
2) Find the 'HTC Application' branch.
3) Change the 'HTC Home e-mail button' to 'Open default Mailbox (Advised)'
I've had this same problem in the past. Essentially when you push the e-mail button and it's not working correctly it will open up the messaging app wherever it already is. So if you have SMS open (but minimised/off screen), then pushing the e-mail button will simply open it there.

Im afraid i've been one step ahead... kaisertweak was one of the first things i downloaded... originally, i did have the problem with it loading up the "choose accounts" messaging thing, and i changed that using the kaisertweak settings...
but im afraid, one day on, that i still cant download my email using the outlook account i searched lots yesterday, and found that people either used activesync to jumpstart the emails, or that it just randomly worked the next day. But ive tried both, and both have failed
please, someone, help me get my mail...

billgatessucks
Have exactly the same problem. Did you find the solution?

nope, no solution...
i was fed up of not having emails, so ive remade a new email account and i just have to switch...
tho i am looking into ways of remapping the softkeys so that one is assigned directly to going into your email inbox, and the other to start a new sms... two vital functions that dont seem to exsist on the kaiser

Outlook Mobile Delete question

OK, this is probably a silly question, but I can't figure it out for the life of me.
I have set up a mail account to Gmail. In that account I'm forwarding some other accounts of mine, so it gets pretty crowded.
What I would like to do is delete messages from my phone but NOT from Gmail.
Outlook Mobile offers two choices, as far as I can see: when deleting messages either
Move them to server trash, or
Delete them off the server.
Neither of those suits me. I only want to delete them from the bloody phone.
A further restriction is that I like to use my mail from TF3D, and therefore would rather not having to install another mail client unless TF3D can somehow be coerced into working with it.
Oh, and in case you wonder - I don't sync my mail with the desktop Outlook. I'm using Gmail more and more...
Thank you all for your help.

have you tried both options, and seen what the effect on the server inbox is?
ive thought of this before, and it annoyed me greatly, but i cant remember the solution. plus, we all know how wm doesnt word things correctly.
rory

err... sorry.. duplicate post.. don't know why

Tap on mail (touch flo)
Inbox
Menu-Tools-options
Tap on Gmail
(setting should open up now)
Hit 'Edit Account Setup'
Click on next next next next next
(hide key board on Automatic Send/Receive screen)
Hit 'Advanced Settings'
When deleting messages: (drop down menu)
You can set it there to not delete the messages from the server
Hope this helps

Thank you for your answer. However, I only have the two options described in my first post. Can you see a third option there?

err.. oops. Just checked again
I could have sworn it was there!
Sorry mate. guess that was on the P1 or something.. not sure.

This might not be a feasible solution, but ... just a thought..
You could set it to keep the messages only for the last 4 or 5 days..
that way, they won't be on your phone, but will be on your server.
A POSSIBLE workaround.. definitely not a solution

Here is what I configured to use the diamond without loss of messages during their removal :
I created a special e-mail address to use with my mobile phone, like [email protected].
And I set up a redirect additional for all my messages to it.
Now, I can delete all my messages without erasing the ones on my main account.

Try to go to "tools" - "option". Click the account you need to edit. Click "send/receive schedule" - "advance settings" - "when deleting messages" dropdown menu.....

Same thing. Just the two options.
Delete from Server.. or Move to Server Trash

OK, I think I've got it. It all boils down to the fact that the default Gmail setup is IMAP. If you change that to POP3 (using the instructions from Gmail) you will be able to delete your mails on the phone only.
It would be nice if someone could confirm this. It certainly seems to be working for me.
EDIT: WORKS! I get "Keep them on server" now.

The problem is related to the gmail server own rules. I have just made a test account and there is no "keep on server" option on the WM mail client. On my other account (my own domain/server) there is no problem.
You could use another mail provider (hotmail, live) for example.

Turns out it actually is IMAP vs POP3. While IMAP is generally better, when you do something locally (on the phone) it is as if it was done on the server (a disadvantage in this case).
The key is to fool Diamond into not recognizing Gmail, which means giving the address as [email protected][B]gm[/B].com, then put all the POP3 settings.
On the other hand, I've noticed it will only download the unread messages...

Help with email configuration

Hi guys I have an htc diamond no brand and i am getting crazy with the setup of the mail. i mean the account email from the tf3d tab. every time i try to set it up (i have an hotmail free account) i cannot complete the configuration because opera starts up and i go to the webpage of hotmail. If i close opera, no account have been created so i have to start from the beginning again. i cannot save the account, i am able to fill in only the page when it asks the email and the password, nothing more!!! what's up??(((

i tried to set up an outlook account and it works, it is saved but i can't do it with hotmail... why??

Err... the FREE Hotmail doesn't support pop3...
does it?
You can set it up with outlook and it SHOULD work with Windows Live.

Hmm, I've set up my Hotmail account twice without problems as far as I can remember. Entered my email address and password, tapped Next and it was recognized as such by the set up software. Maybe having Windows Live Mobile installed has something to do with it? You can try if that helps if you want. Here you can find the cab file, courtesy of my custom ROM dealer

When it opens up opera it goes to the windows live login page. Just press log on or whatever it says and enter your info. should work since I've done it several times..

it starts opera to windows live page and then i clic on hotmail but i only cann see the mails from the webpage and no account is created. every time i have to do the same thing...

Hi there. I had the same problem as you. But I solved it.
When I first got my phone I configured it so hotmail would turn up in my inbox, without opera or any browser, but since I installed the latest ROM I couldn't get it to work - when I tried to configure hotmail as my email it wouldn't save my account - just open up Opera.
But I now know how to do it. You can't set hotmail as your email directly, you need to configure Messenger to do it. WHen you do that, you are asked if you want to use Live (something) as well as Live Search. I removed Live search but kept the first one. Then I was asked if I wanted my email and contacts to be synchronized and I klicked Ok. Now when I click on my emailtab I have my hotmail emails there!
/S

Thanks for the advice. Work fine for me.

hotmail account

hi everyone, my question is how do I set-up a hotmail account,when I configure a mail account opens up IE or Opera and from there a access the mail account. With WM5 didn´t do that, I could access the mail account with in the phone without opening the browser.
When I press the mail funtion it doesn´t show the account I already set-up,in this case, hotmail, it shows it empty(no accounts)
any help with this?
thanks

i had problem with this also. Apparently you can only set up one hotmail account on your phone. If let say you deleted it by accident and try to re-add it will not work, instead it will go through the Windows Live website like you stated.
Only solution to fix this is a hard-reset

oo then maybe the owner did set an account before but removed it. If that is the case you will not be able to add a new hotmail account.
My suggestion to you is just do a hardreset, unless there are some things the old owner put in there you might want. If that is the case just plug the USB cable into your computer and copy and paste whatever you want from the phone to your comp as backup

I haven,t done the hard reset because there is no signs of anything being in the memory. When I go to mail function and add new account, I entered the hotmail account and password and then next and shows settings found for hotmail.com,then press next again and goes straight to the browser. I go back to the mail function and again is empty, no account added

Either hard reset or uninstall then reinstall windows live on your phone.

I can do that,but it will still opening mails trough the browser and not as a separate program like it did in WM5?

If you uninstall windows live and reinstall it, then it shouldnt open your mail in an internet browser anymore. Just make sure you have only one hotmail account. The first one will open in the application and if you add others, you will be redirected to the hotmail website.

I just did a hardreset because of touch screen problem. Then I saw this thread, and got my hotmail account working too!
I got the phone from BELL, brand new, but couldn't set up my hotmail accout. It was the same problem: directly go the browser!
Now I love my Diamond even better. It was my gameboy, now it is in business!

Hii.
It´s possible have 2 hotmail account´s on messages menu???
I can´t add 2 or more account´s.
Tankh´s.

i'm having some problems with the hotmail account, somethimes doesnt want to connect through wifi and opens a 3g connection instead..

hotmail fix...
the easiest way I've found is to simply use the "get xpress mail" function... may or may not work for all, but it is at least a 50-50 shot!

What's "get express mail" function?
Give me more details please.
Thanks

Microsoft's hotmail/live/msn support pop3 now.
U can simply use the outlook by setup a new count such as [email protected], and pop3 server as pop3.live.com(maybe, I don't rember), then change the mail address back to [email protected].
The second way is using windows live with messenger.

I access two hotmail accounts, just set as normal but it asks the first time for the address put [email protected], then it lets you setup pop3 and smtp else it detects the address as live and sends you to the browser. edit the address after and all should be ok. ps details here for pop3

Hi, yes Hotmail does support push email. Just set up your email as normalNext step consist of configuring your email sync option.
go to MENU -> ACCOUNTS -> ACCOUNTS
Then, MENU ->OPTIONS -Select HOTMAIL. Select Opttion 3, i.e SYNC SCHEDULE. Then set the SYNC FREQUENCY to 'AS IT ARRIVES' (Drop down list).
Press Done, and exit.
Thats it! Ejoy your push email!!! Well obviously if this fails, i dont know what to suggest ...

everytime i try and set it up as normal it doesnt detect any settings or gives me a chance to download like it does with a o2 account it just opens the web browser i cant figure out how to use the push feature to get it to come to the phone
