[Q] WM6 Save mail to storage card not working?

[dboone21]

Tried the 'save mail to storage card' cab from SurrealNetworks, and it doesn't work for WM6 on the Dash. I checked the registry, and the updates were made by the cab. Does anyone know if there are different entries needed?

Or has anyone had any luck getting this to work?

Sucks wasting 20mb on my work email on the device and not the card...

Sucks wasting 20mb on my work email on the device and not the card...

The Key in WM6 is:

HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings

add "PropertyPath" value="\Storage Card\Mail" datatype="string"


Or wherever on the card you want it stored.

I found this by activating the save attachments to Storage Card option, then searching the registry for the key, once I found that location above, I added the PropertyPath value for the storage card location in the same key.

Reboot and it should be good...but you will probably have the issue maybe with it creating a Storage Card folder upon reboot because many devices the mail starts before the storage card. If that is the case, take your SD card out, rename the Storage Card folder to Storage Card.bak, shut down the device. Put SD card in, reboot, and leave the .bak folder there forever.

At least that is what works on the Wizard to get mail on the SD card. Now I have 2000+ emails and attachments on my storage card, no issues across reboots, working fine.

Good luck any problems, report back..

Does the AttachPath also work here? Think that would be even more useful.

Yes, you can move attachments through the options in the interface to the storage card. That is how I found the new location of the mail on the SD path is by searching the registry after the tweak as I mentioned above.

actually I had to add also key "AttachPath" with value "\Storage Card\Mail\Attachments" without quotas.
I did it on HP514 Voice messenger with WM6. The main issue was actually to rename "storage card" on "storage card.bak" and taking card out and reboote. After I started again when I saw new folder "Mail" created on Storage Card I was happy as a kid. I just moved with file explorer all *.att to attachment folder and all *.mpb to Mail folder from \Windows\Messaging. Then I opened Outlook and everything was there as nothing happened. All stored on memory card, damm so goooood. I like you guys,

Hi, i am new to reg edit on WM devices, what are the exact values i need to put in to make this happen, any screenshots????. Given todays storage capabilites, this is a huge mistake by Microsoft considering its a standard setting, i have had 4 work colleagues with S620s or S710s all run out of phone memory, Microsoft were not helpful at all

Many thx,

Rich

Oye, man, I was going nuts trying to figure out why the HKCU\...\MAPI modification wouldn't work and FINALLY found your post. It's all good now. I guess the moral of the story is don't assume WM5 and WM6 are the same. Uh, duh?

[JohnCody]

I found this by activating the save attachments to Storage Card option

Hi,

Where is this "save attachments to storage card" option found in the settings?

Does anyone know why I would get a "Access is Denied" message when I try to add a value to the HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings hive?

I'm trying to edit the registry on an HTC S710.

Cheers,
Geoff.

What Registry editor did you use?

[N8falke]

Hi Guys,

after doing the tweak and rebooting i had a folder named Storage Card and my real card renamed to Store Card2. Guess the system created the path as the card was not available early enough. Caused a lot of error messages..

any suggestions?

Hi guys, I tried the adding property path but faced problem.

I'm using Samsung i600 and mobile registry editor. When i try to add the string it says access is denied (error setting value). Really appreciate if someone can give me a step by step guide as I'm not familiar with registry editting. i.e What to put in the value name and value data fields.

Thanks.

I have HTC (8925(Tilt) and after doing the tweak and rebooting my card renamed to Store Card2.

Any suggestions?

Does anyone know how to do this with BBConnect mail files? I really need to move my bb mail files

[zoe.mike]

New here (and to WM for that matter - had Symbian).
So ive read all over the place about trying to change the mail to the SD. here is my situation (similar to a few here):

changed the relevant reg keys
on reboot i get the "storage card2" phenomena
tried the .bak but to no avail


so ive seen people say "take messaging out of today screen" and that windows live if installed will also make trouble. Notice i only use the pop3/IMAP default client (and no exchange and such).
questions:

how do i take the messaging out of today?
if i dont use the LIve just have it installed is that an issue (and if so..what do i do
assuming i take out messaging from today - i will need to make some softkey take me there - how is that done for my device


I use an HTC Cavalier (S630)

p.s - i saw someone just solved the issue by doing the following after reboot - take out SD, delete storage card folder, put sd back in and voila...but that is too low tech. can i write some sort of batch file that will dismount the SD, delete that folder and remount? after all i reboot only occasinally:eek:

Could you be A LOT more specific with these instructions? Maybe a step by step? I'm not sure what to do...I want to use GMail and have it sent to my storage card.
Also with the storage card.bak...why did you not first create the Mail folder on the Storage Card?

Are you adding a new Key called PropertyPath under HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings and then changing the default value to "\Storage Card\Mail" or are you creating a new string value "\Storage Card\Mail?" There is no way to specify a "datatype" unless that's part of the value ("\Storage Card\Mail datatype=string").

Really sorry, your post is vague, leaves much to be desired. Also, having to rename Storage Card? Doesn't really seem like it's needed...

[mtn_lion]

In the HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings key, you need to create a new string value named "PropertyPath". (By datatype, techlogik just meant it's a string value, as opposed to, for example, a DWORD value.)

Edit that new string value so that its data is:
\Storage Card\Mail
(In place of "Mail," you can use any name you want.)

Then create a second string value named "AttachPath", and set its data to:
\Storage Card\Mail\Attachments

Then make sure that in the device's Settings, Today, Items, the Messaging plugin is NOT enabled (explanation below). Then soft reset the device. On bootup, the system will read the registry values and create on your storage card the folders specified by the registry entries, and going forward that's where email and attachments will be stored.

The whole "storage card.bak" and renaming thing is only required if, on bootup, your device FIRST loads the Today Screen Messaging plugin BEFORE detecting the storage card. In that event, the system will do what it's supposed to do--create folders using the names in the registry--but since it can't yet see the storage card, it creates them in main memory. Then when it sees the card, it names it "Storage Card2" since there's already a folder named "Storage Card". Things get ugly. Apart from keeping the Messaging plugin off of the Today Screen, I don't know of another fix to prevent that from happening.

'Hope that clarifies things. BTW, I've always used Resco Registry Editor, but the best costs $$, and recently I stumbled onto SmartReg, which is free and seems to work pretty darn well.

G'luck!

On a Blackjack I, running WM6 Standard...successfully unlocked applications and edited reg keys. All ok with Flexmail IMAP account (Gmail), however, Mobipush-enabled ActiveSync account won't update. Th Mobipush account was working fine before moving messages to Storage Card. I do have to admit deleting a few of the old .mpb files under \Windows\Messaging before moving the majority to the new \Storage Card\Mail folder...so I'm wondering if there may be some sort of Indexing issue going on here.

I then tried deleting all files in the new Mail store (the thought was to start over)...ActiveSync sees the folders and counts the number of emails there on the server side, but wont complete synchronization. I told it to only download 1 day's worth, but it keeps counting up to a few weeks ago (890+) messages.
Support code 0x80830003

I would like to completely delete the ActiveSync account and start over, but can't find an option to do that (the Remove function is grayed out). Any other recommendations welcome.

[mtn_lion]

Activesync, Menu, Options. Select "Exchange Server" (top level). Menu, Delete.

Can this regedit be used on a HTC Diamond? Will it move all mail to internal storage and not mess up the system?
anyone tried yet?
thanks!
