Apache WM6 CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)

Is it possible to get the touchflo on thiis new version?

For the record, I just sent myself a bizarrely formatted HTML email message (a two row, three cell table, one cell spanning the other two, with three different fonts and colors) just to see what happens, and it displays in Messaging exactly as I sent it . And, I am using my IMAP (not Exchange) mailserver.

I had no problem selecting HTML as my formatting in Messaging... nothing was "greyed out" as others have posted.

So, it appears that it's not tied to Exchange. Having said that, I have no idea why I would want to receive HTML formatted email on my Apache anyway. I actually liked it displaying as plain text... it was a lot cleaner. I use it pretty much exclusively for business, though, so I'm more interested in the text of the message rather than how pretty it is.

Apparently I proved that HTML does display properly, though. My guess is that it's there for sending, not for receiving.

One more thing... after my previous two posts, I went back in and selected "Plain Text" for that account, did a soft reset, and sent the same message again (these messages were sent from my laptop using Mozilla Thunderbird, incidentally).

The new message showed up as text only in Messaging, but the previous one was still there as HTML formatted. Also, the download options changed (smallest download limit went from 2KB under HTML to .5KB under plain text).

So, the HTML/plain text selection in "Options" appears to be a setting for how the messages are downloaded, not how they are displayed.

Personally, I detest HTML formatted email... kind of old-school that way.

I'm getting the email strings embedded in the email but I'm just seeing text. I went into the registry and can't find a setting for the pull down that reads "Plain Text".

is this something we should try to use or is it only fit for testing currently?

it's working fine, i installed it on my wifes phone when she got home and she loved it too. 2/2 for me. the first install on her phone had a weird error but i think that's because her laptop hadn't been rebooted in like 5 days. i had to do the install again and the second time it worked.

I just thought about my post above and realized that I might be using Messaging differently... I am not using "Outlook E-mail". I chose "New Account" and set it up using "Internet e-mail" under "Select your provider".

Actually, I have three different accounts set up on my Apache... all set up as IMAP accounts, and they all show up as separate accounts from "Outlook E-Mail". It's the same way I always had them set up... they connect directly to my mailserver, not syncing through ActiveSync.

Maybe that might clear things up, or muddy them further.

If you are using an exchange server the settings are different. Mine is grayed out as well and only received in plain text, but i am also not running exchange 2007.

I wonder if this is a bug for the code on connecting to an exchange server. I'm definitely on an Exchange 2007 server. I'll contact the exchange administrator and see what he says--but I don't think they have to enable anything.

OK-- the problem is SOLVED about HTML email. Apparently the support pages for my online exchange server account are WRONG. They had me point the phone to a server that was not the 2007 Exchange server. So that's why the message type was grayed out. Once they provided the correct server name, I entered that into the phone and had to re-activesync. Now all the Exchange 2007-WinMo6 features are enabled and the message type was no longer grayed out but could be switched to HTML.

Its working great!
