Using the file manager in activesync, create the following folders on your Storage Card.

\Inbox
\Inbox\Attachments
Now browse to \Windows\Messaging (SmartPhone) or \Windows\MAPI (PocketPC)
If you want to save all of your existing mail, move everything in this directory to the new ones on your Storage Card.
Now fire up your registry editor and navigate to the following.

For WM5 Phones: [ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MAPI ]

For WM6 Phones: [ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox\Settings ]

Then create the following STRING VALUES.

Name: AttachPath
String: \Storage Card\MAPI\Attachments

Name: PropertyPath
String: \Storage Card\MAPI
Reboot your phone and then goto your inbox. If you can see all of your mail then mission accomplished. Double check your attachments as well.
----------------------------------
Change the location of Ringtone file storage
============NEVER TRIED THIS===============Wondering if this will make the phone take longer to ring
WM will look for Ringtones in \Windows\ or \Windows\Rings by default. You can change this location to, for example, your Storage Card (example given is for ringtones placed on the Storage Card root folder) by a simple Windows Mobile registry tweak.

HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\Directory = “\Storage Card\” (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

To return to the original location:

HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\Directory = “\Windows\Rings\” (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

Note the default location may be “\Windows\” or “\Windows\Rings\” depending on your Device provider.
-----------------------------------
You can disable auto-wakeup when keyboard is opened.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\DeviceMap\Keybd]
Create new dword "SlideWakeup" with value of 0 and soft reset.
-----------------------------------

Dude, where were you two weeks ago when I was surfing all over the net tryin to find these tweaks. None of the places I found them clarified if they worked on the Alltel TP. Everywhere I looked was all Sprint or Verizon. Really nice to see a fellow Alltel tweaker! Do you happen to know if the Internet tweaks listed for Verizon work for Alltel?

BTW, I thanked you!

I have some of the internet tweaks working on my vogue.
and easiest way to tell if they would work on your phone,
is navigate to that registry location,
and see if the registry key is there.
if it is, try the tweak.
I've been using tweaks from different phones and from wm6.0, wm6.1.
I have been running 6.5 for the past month or two.

I agree.

I know this isnt good practice, but sometimes when im bored i go hunting around in my registry for something interesting. Like i found the settings for panorama pics and i tried to change it from 3 pics to five, but it didnt work. I did however turn on a bunch of other camera modes that had been hidden, including GPS photo. My favorite so far.

Care to share where you foudn that gps photo?
I'll be getting a touch pro soon, and would like that if it's available.

Also, I use phmregedit,
you can search the registry and find all kinds of things.

I have a diamond so i dunno if it works on TP, maybe someone could check it out for me. On my diamond i also have a P10 folder, enable that one just like the rest, viola. GPS Photos. they save to a folder named 'My POI'.

[psycho_maniac]

[Negrito]
