[Q] request: plugin for calendar, sms appointment confirmation + reminder - Windows Mobile Apps and Games

Hi all,
I've spent most of the day searching the net for an app that let's me register appointments, and offers the possibility to send sms confirmation "Dear customer, you have an appointment ... date... time", and to send a reminder like 24 hrs before D-Day "Please remember your appointment ... date ... time".
I found all kinds of goodies. Some to install on a Windows PC, some hosted online. But in all cases you need to purchase an SMS package.
On this forum I found f.ex. the miniSMS server. This showed me it is possible to make an app that can send SMS'es. Great, now I need a way to have a tool like a traditional calendar to enter appointments, and the option to send SMS as described. I think best would be an app that works on top of the default installed calendar. But then again, I don't know...
Advantage with running it from the PDA is that the PDA does not need to be connected to the PC in any way, so messages can be send at any time. And ofcourse, you don't need to purchase expensive subscriptions.
I do webdesign, but I am not a programmer, so I will need some assistance. All input is welcome. Many thanks in advance.

Today Inbox plugin doesnt notify received sms

After upgrading, my XDA's Today plugin 'Inbox' doesnt
notify (via popup or bold letters) any received sms/messages.
Any idea why??
:x
I installed the tweek from this site that allows for name integration of SMS.
I did this before going away at Xmas. I did not receive messages at all. One hard reset later and it is all working fine again.
SMS are very important, I receive a lot. So loosing them is not nice!!
I take any advice on such matters with caution now......

SMS - Contacts O2 XDA

Hi Guys,
Just a quick question regarding contacts. I sync with my outlook contacts at work, when i try and send a sms i press the contacts button. The thing is, it shows me an entry for each type of number
ie
Ali 07833454543
Ali +442078763345
Ali [email protected]
so thats three entries for one person !... as you can imagin it makes the list very long.
is there anything i can do, so that it just shows one line for each person, but when you select it, it shows the other numbers?
thanks
Ali
any ideas chaps?
a no would do :roll:
Mine does the same mate - don't know how to resolve it, SMS Name doesn't fix it that's for sure, and I've loaded SER 1.2 now... I guess it's 'cos you're using multiple service types, you have to see the different addresses (POP3/SMS)
in outlook, are your contacts displayed correctly?
What would be REALLY intelligent would be some way to have a shortcuts or "speed dial" list for SMS addressing. I only send SMS to a half-dozen people out of my 225 contacts. It would have been smart to allow you to address an SMS with the speed dial contact or some other list.
Any developers want to create some software for this? Guaranteed I'll buy it.

hi
in ppc 2003 you dont have to find the contact by pressing the contacts iclon you just type there name in and it gives you options on the name also it has a character counter so you know how many you have typed. it also seems to run faster and my battery seems to last longer. i havent set the internet up yet but i will this coming week.

How to syncronize SMS to PC??

Can anyone tell me how to sync SMS to PC? Because I have to lose all of my SMS content everytime I hard reset my XDA II
I've asked people at O2 about this one before when they kept telling me to hard reset my XDA II . the guy I spoke to thought it wasn't possible.
Does anyone else know more?

Yup - Jeyo works well Very pleased with it - may even part with cash for it...
Hm...
Well, I tried to install both Jeyo products (Mobile Companion and Outlook Extender) and both of them didn't work. As I read in their forums (in case the link in the main menu [Support > Forum] doesn't work: http://www.jeyo.com/forum/index.php), I'm not the only one. Especially Windows 98 seems to be a problem...
I don't want to discredit Jeyo, but user comments like "i haven't receive any registration codes till now. And also I was charged twice the amount of this software" or "I have emailed support and had no response. [...] will be contacting handango for a refund. This product does not work on my PC or phone." definitly keep me off trying further installations.
Just my own thoughts...

Mine works. I created an appointment and assigned two required attendants to the appointment and once I closed it out, I got a prompt to not only save it but to send it to the attendants and it worked when I sent one to my own email.

Mark all mails "as read" - any solution?

Hi all.
concidering amount of the brains (and I mean in a good way), passing those forums, how come nobody haven't find a solution to mark all unread e-mails "as read". At the moment I´m using POP3 account and I got about 30-50 e-mails per day + some spam. So it is quite frustrating either open every single e-mail or just to ignore green sign with number of unread e-mails in the home screen.
... or is it only me who will find this irritating...
anyway - cheers to everybody. Great community here. In the pass I was probably only WM user in my neighborhood, who could actually use it ...thanks to XDA, as all the problems I had, got answers here.
What about check all email accounts for new email solution?
You can delete em all... but may be that's not what you want. So if you don't wanna read them all, you should be able to change your POP3 setting on the mail server in such a way that it does not send you the spam. You can also choose from within the HTC mail app how many mails per day you want to download. I know this is not the solution but am just suggesting something.
I would like to know that too! It is really annoying to read emails you dont want to read or you know what is in the email.
Would be nice to have an application for it

just to clarify... my problem isn't the spam and not the quantity. As Im using my laptop as primary worktool for checking email etc, im using my phone only when outside the office, basically in the near future I stat to use exchange anyway (waiting the setup), but this is something at the moment that I would like to solve (as it was solved when using WM diamond). Just imagine, have read all 30 mails received by noon and driving out of office, when checking mail while driving, I got all the mails received/read earlier shown as "new". Simplest thing to do, when not using IMAP, is mark them all read, which should be something easiest tasks with WM phone but not with Android... I hope you understand ....
basically I have lot of unread e-mails. I will pick up the ones I think are important (based on the subject) and read them, all others I will ignore and I would mark them "as read".

OK, the bottom line is the mails you don't regard as important, you don't wanna read them ever... so why not "bulk delete" them??!! Cuz I imagine you just don't wanna see the mail icon displaying those mails as a green bubble. You can do so!! When in the HTC mail app where all emails are listed, press menu and select delete >> you'll see a X icon in from of every email >> you can select the ones you don't wanna read ever and then delete them all at once. I found it quite handy. But the Exchange server would be great once you get it. I just hope that Yahoo mail also becomes IMAP.
Ok you can delete, but stilll if you want to save some emails for later. This is a missing function.
Open GMail in your browser (so not the hero app):
Do a search :
in:inbox in:unread
Then choose select all.
You will get an option of selecting all mail in the search.
Choose action: mark as read
And tada, all mail is read!

hmmm.... I have no idea what do you talking about...
R U sure this is HTC Hero standard mail app, you have this "search unread" option and "select all" option? My phone sure as hell doesn't have this function.

true, true...
saphuis is probably talking about gmail app, not the inbuild imap/pop/exchange client.
This is a missing feature, we need to be able to select multiple messages and do stuff with them, currently this only works for delete ( Menu-delete )
I'm not sure, but if you don't need exchange, you might be able to use default android mail app, that might have the features you request ... quick google search did not help me to be sure ...
should have been more clear.
Had the same problem. Could only solve it in the browser gmail environment.
OK, another idea to solve the problem in its current state (although it is not an alternative to including the desired feature in the mail app!!) >> How about moving all the unread mails at once to another folder e.g. Trash?? That way, you'll still have them but won't see them in the inbox or as a green bubble.

Wow, you are right ! Nice one
well this might work, but it's lame. how can it be that this device is advertised as the uber-internet-and-mail-smartphone and is not capable of the simpliest tasks... this has to be improved, it's a shame.
i mean, we're not apple, so this should be possible without three major os releases, shouldn't it?
POP3 doesn't support 'Read' as a flag does it?
AFAIK, the App keeps track of the last message it saw, and downloads new ones since its last download - but there's no Read synchronisation between different POP3 applications.
You need IMAP for that - or use Gmail to collect your POP3 mail and then use the Gmail app instead..
I have my HTC Mail linked to my Apple MobileMe account.
If I read, delete, not read a message on the Hero, this is reflected in Mail on my Mac.
Seems they are synced pretty closely.
Sorry, not in any way helpful here, but just wanted to highlight the fact.

POP3 didn't have this option with WM as well. Issue here is not the difference between IMAP and POP3, but missing feature on the standard E-mail app on the HTC Hero (android op sys) to select all unread messages at once and mark them as read.
There are different options how to mark them unread and all these options are fine until you have couple of e-mails per day, but if the quantity of the e-mails is quite high, then all those options (like manually selecting each e-mail) fail.
So basically this is the reason I hate to use e-mail app and one and only advantage of Windows phone comparing to android at the moment. ... I hope this advantage of WM will dissapear soon.
