Hi all,
sorry that I left thread for a quite long period of time, but I was a bit busy :rolleyes:

Emm, yeah... This a Thread mode bug and IIRC it should be fixed in PR1.3.

Yes.

I have three different from addresses that all run through my one google email account.

It would be wonderful to be able to specify any one of the three when composing an email on the 9.

Possible?

well, you can configure 3 different accounts and send emails via different accounts (with appropriate 'from' address). Yes, it's not the best idea, but still better than nothing.

My N9 almost never connects to the Hotmail smtp sever and about 80% of the time when it tries to, it gives me an error and asks me to re-enter my password. Anyone have a solution? :(

emm, probably this issue caused by vulnerability mentioned in comment 687.

So, I've asked colleagues about it and the answer is - no, you can't disable it. Also QMF devs asked me to thank you for pointing on this, so... Thank you! :)

P.S. I'm not working anymore in this project, so no new news from me about it.

Two questions I have around the email client.

1. I have noticed (perhaps after Pr1.2)) that there is now a limit on the size of attachments i can send via emali - which is 5MB.

2. When I send an email to an address not currently in my address book - is there an option (as in the N900) to save that email address as a new contact?

First one is more critical as sometimes you arent able to divide/break up the file and bluetooth isnt an option. I could use dropbox but why should i have to? my email client is configured to use my gmail account - which i think has a 20MB attachment limit?

Thank you

Yeah, that limitation was added due to a few issues when user tries to send an email with big attachment via servers that got a limit on the email's size (like 5MBs :) ). You can change this setting easily. To change it you should add a line 'maxAttachmentSize=xxx' (where xxx is a size in MBs IIRC) in a 'General' section of the file /home/user/.config/Nokia/Fenix.conf.

So, it should looks like:

[General]
maxAttachmentSize=20

NOTE: maybe you'll need to restart the Fenix to apply new setting, but IIRC it should work fine without restart.

You can open Sent Items, open the email that you sent, click on a header (top part of the message viewer screen where it shows subject, recipients, etc.), then click on the recipient (from To field) and click "Save".

P.S. I have a small question to all of you. Should I add some "easy config" mode in MeMailSettings to add the ability to change some Email/MfE settings (like attachment size, etc.)? Can't promise that I would have a lot of free time to implement it :rolleyes:

Re: N9/N950 Email/Mail for Exchange - Get help & give feedback here

yes, please add an option to increase the attachment size!

Re: N9/N950 Email/Mail for Exchange - Get help & give feedback here

Definetly would be good to have that sort of option in MeMailSettings. The choice of 5MB as default seems rather low for most servers.

How to copy the f... thing? Using what? Can You access the file thru Terminal?

EDIT: Just moved to MyDocs, then to PC, edited with SublimeText 2, moved back to MyDocs and then to .config/Nokia.....

Re: N9/N950 Email/Mail for Exchange - Get help & give feedback here

For the life of me I cannot get hotmail set up using Mail for exchange. I followed the instructions here but when ever it goes to syncronise I get an error message saying Invalid host address for Mail for Exchange server".

Re: N9/N950 Email/Mail for Exchange - Get help & give feedback here

Hi, since the pr 1.1 my emails wont sync and sometimes my n9 forget skype passwords accounts (facebook, twitter its ok).

I really need my emails (imap an a server)! :(
I deleted the 2 accounts, rebooted the phone, created one account, but still not working!
Do i have to erase ALL the accounts in my phone (even non-email accounts like twitter...) ???

I dont want to reset my phone...
