WM6 Move Mail to SD

[techlogik]

Apparently the key is different in WM6. Used to be:

HKCU\Sofware\Microsoft\Mapi

And you could put the path in to the storage device.

Anybody know where it is now to move mail to storage device?

I see the Tweak Option has move IE Cache to SD, but none for Exchange Sync Outlook Mail.

Thanks

If anyone cares, found the new location.

HCLM\Software\Windows\Inbox\Settings


I found this out by turning on in the mail options store the email attachments on the stroage card. I then searched the registry for the path it used on the storage card which lead me to the above key.

Then I just changed the attachment path and added the key

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

To then get the mail to go there also.

Had to do some tricks with the sim card a few times, renaming and locking up, but I deleted the mail settings for exchange and go it all figured out and now all mail/attachments on the storage card.

Memory just want hold 4000 items plus attachment..necessity.

thanks!
I've already know the key, but not the reg name of "PropertyPath", I thought the mail body has to put under \windows\messaging.
a little hint, it's HKLM\System\Inbox, not HKLM\Software\Windows\Inbox...

a problem:
if I add "PropertyPath" value="\Storage Card\Mail" datatype="string"
the next time I reboot my device, a folder named "Storage Card" was created automatically, and the real Storage Card was named "Storage Card2" !!!
I have to remove that propertypath key anyway and keep the mail body under main memory

No, I found a workaround. Rename the new Storage Card folder to Storage Card.bak

Reboot the device and put your storage card back in, it should not create a new folder again. Don't know why, but just leave the Storage Card.bak folder there forever and it reboots over and over fine and you can put mail on the Card and not main memory...

This is essential seeing how I have 2000+ emails I like to sync and have reference too in subfolders on Exchange on my mobile device and attachments if necessary..

Whatever the key name I forget which one, but yeah, somebody referenced it above...it is HKLM without the Software...I accidentally put that in...

thanks for your info.
actually I renamed the new-created "Storage Card" to "Storage Card1" then after a softreset there comes a true "Storage Card" and so I delete "Storage Card1" and no more try~~~

I tried that, but after reboots if did it again...maybe I can delete now and see if it sticks, but I thought I went through that.

Thx

Here's the problem that you are having. When you set save to sd, at startup your sd card starts too late in the startup process so a new storage card folder is created and that is always named storage card. The only solution is to delay the mail check and save at startup.

No, my solution works fine, let it create the Storage Card folder, then reboot the device with the card out and rename it to Storage Card.bak, or something.

Then, shut down device, put read SD card back in, leave the old .bak folder in along with your card, it won't do it again across reboots, working fine.

Again, I had to leave the Storage Card.bak folder on the device now, but no big deal, there is nothing in it but some folder and takes no spaces, it is just a holder that the device is looking for.

Thanks
