Moving Mail to Storage Card & Other Mysteries!

---

Has anyone successfully managed to move the Inbox to the Storage Card yet?

The usual registry hacks that have worked on several previous devices don't seem to be working on the HD2.

It is quite happy to let me move attachments to the Storage Card through Inbox-Options but as soon as I hack the registry to set 'PropertyPath' to move the Inbox and reboot, I end up with a folder in main memory called 'Storage Card' and the actual Storage Card renamed 'Storage Card2'.

If memory serves, this can happen where the card is slow to be mounted, but I'm puzzled why it will happily send attachments to the card and then throw a hissy fit when I ask it to do the same with mail.

Was the issue of the speed of mounting the card ever solved anywhere else? Can't find it if it was!

Any help gratefully received.

Bump...

Has anyone tried moving their Inbox to the Storage Card? Someone must have, surely?

A simple yes it works/no it doesn't would be very helpful - at least I'd know whether it was worth trying to find a solution

Thanks in anticipation

Still keen to know whether anyone has successfully managed to move their mail store to the Storage Card.

Also, has anyone managed to turn off autolock? I don't want to have to enter a pin every time my device wakes. I have tried tweaks and reg hacks and neither seems to give me the behaviour I want/expect

I appreciate that there are differences between Manila and Sense, but surely the underlying registry entries can't be that different? Many of the expected keys exist but they are just ignored by the device - odd.

Or is it just me...?

unfortunately you are right.
I experience the same issues in trying to redirect pictures I shoot to storage card\My Documents\My Pictures.

Like you say there appear to be some differences here and there.
I'm looking but I hope somebody with some more knowledge finds it fast

Hi Gustopher, how and where did you do that? I am unable to find where to tell the HD2 to put attachments on the Storage Card even after days of searching for it, resulting in less and less storage on the device, even when all mail and messages have been removed.

Thanks in advance.

Crazy...

Edit : O.k. just found it . . . . . . duh, what a good night rest can do for ya.

Another week's worth of XDA brains on this since first posting, so worth a revist:

Has anyone managed to get their mail onto the storage card?

The few who have responded so far seem to see the same issues as I did, but is this the case across the board?

If there is indeed a problem, does anyone have any bright ideas how we can fix this?

(Or is everyone too busy saying how much they love/hate the HD2 and how they are going to shag it/return it??)

Hi

Given the small amount of storage memory this is an important issue. I haven't tried it but was going to use Sktools to do it. Will try later. Hope it an be resolved.

I am pretty sure you won't get any joy through SKTools - I have already responded to someone else who'd tried it and wondered why they had a renamed Storage Card.

I just had a go through Memmaid - I was also looking at the possibility of changing some startup items to give the card a chance to load - but wound up having to hard reset.

It's a bugger, to be sure. I am increasingly convinced that the card is slow to load, but what to do about it...?

I would also like some assistance in getting this resolved. Has anyone been successful here??

Find the Email icon in the main start menu (or it may be in a subfolder depending on your rom). Open it and the 'select an account' screen will open. Hit MENU, OPTIONS, go across to the STORAGE tab and tick the box that says 'When available, use the storage card to store attachments.'

After a loading icon all attachments existing and in the future will be stored on the card. You will notice an increase in available memory on the device immediately.

I assume this is what you meant, if not I don't know the solution!
