EMS Extension for Pocket Outlook

[Khashim]

Hey guys,

I was just wondering if anybody knows how to and, if possible, can create an extension for Pocket Outlook for EMS and vCard support. I was looking this up, and found this link on the Microsoft website.

It seems that you can register an extension to enable EMS support in Pocket Outlook(much like MMS).

What further makes me think it is possible is the other day I found a vCard app on one of the forums that allows the Pocket PC to accept vCards when sent from other phones. However, the problem with that app is that it works independent of Pocket Outlook and saves the vCard in My Documents and not as an attachment.

Thanks,
Khashim

The following registry keys need to be set to enable the rule client, custom form, and EMS processing by the router. A reboot is required if the router has previously received any SMS.

They will be processed by the Rule Client and available for viewing in the SMS account in Inbox. The only supported EMS IEIs are pictures. The normal SMS user data (text) is also processed.

Hi,

Thanks a lot, but this does not seem to be working. I created an installation CAB and tried installing it. I then rebooted. But I still cannot receive an EMS. Any ideas why?

Thanks,
Khashim

I'm not sure, but do not you need EMSReceive.exe to be started while booting "/Windows/Startup" the PPC... It is the same as vCard Receiving CAB attached...

[Khashim]

Well this is a bit different than vCard. This is an actual extension to the SMS ability on Pocket PCs. Do you actually know of an EMSRecieve.exe?

By the way.....has anyone been able to get the extension to work?

[alkandery75]

I test it and it is not working 100% ... It seems that the device recognize the msg :P but it could not read it :? , because the device switched on with backlight on too... But the content of the msg not there in the inbox... Keep trying and I'm sure you will get it work soon...

i haven't tested it but the behaviour of the device lights up when an EMS comes in is normal - even before using installing these dlls. they just don't get processed.

I'm using Windows Mobile 2005 and the Inbox service is different from that used on usual Windows Mobile2003(SE), so I can't test this.

Try to use attached.
