HTC Mail HTML yes/no?
- Thread starter Sjengie
- Start date
ok, i found the "text only", it comes with the 1kb and 5kb mail size limit settings
But why does the mail not auto-size everything full screen (vert/horz) to include the complete mail ?
Should not be a problem with 600x800 resolution?!
it (rendering) works fine on my palm pre (320x480) and by pinching and clicking one can zoom in/out.
in case of the desire the mail autosizes fine horizontally in landscape mode but not in portrait mode.
one cant have it all i guess ...

I wonder why it's not working. Before I used the exact same exchange account on my iPhone 3Gs and HTML was no problem at all. The server is running 2003. Now I'm just not able to change the mode from text-only to full HTML... Seems more like a softwareproblem or limitation which we should be able to work arround some how...
Well Exchange 2003 does not support HTML formatted emails via activesync
It renders them as text only.

You must be mistaken somewhere

The iPhone Exchange solution doesn't use ActiveSync does it? It's more of a workaround using the OWA connection if I remember correctly?
So it's possible that HTML mail is available even with Exchange Server 2003 if you're using an iPhone, but it certainly isn't if you're using an ActiveSync connection.
Might be wrong though, I've never even held an iPhone...

iPhone, Android and Windows Mobile
I have used the iPhone 3GS, Touch Diamond (WM6.1) and HTC Desire (Android 2.1) all with Exchange ActiveSync (from Exchange Server 2003) and Hotmail and here's what I've found.
iPhone - displays HTML beautifully from both Exchange and Hotmail and syncronises all Exchange folders with any changes on the phone being reflected elsewhere. However, it downloads Hotmail using POP3 so you can only see the Inbox and e-mails sent from the phone and any changes made on the phone are not reflected elsewhere. I believe there is an app that sorts out the Hotmail problem but I haven't tried that.
Windows Mobile - as stated in previous posts Exchange does not support HTML format in "over the air" syncronisations so all you get with Exchange is plain text if using Exchange Server 2003. Hotmail can display HTML and also allows you to sync all folders with any changes on the phone being reflected elsewhere.
HTC Mail on Desire- Handles Exchange Mail like Windows Mobile (plain text) and Hotmail like iPhone (via POP3 so only Inbox and no "proper" sync). In other words it seems to take the worst of both worlds.
What frustrates me is that the technology clearly exists to allow Exchange (using Exchnage Server 2003) to display HTML and to allow Hotmail to Sync properly. If all of these companies got together (some chance) and let the others licence their tecnology then the end user (me!) would be able to own whatever phone they wanted and have Exchange working like it does on the the iPhone and Hotmail working like it does on Windows Mobile.
Maybe one of these days!
