Move Email to Storage Card in WM6 / WM6.1 !! I would recommend against performing this hack at this time. It is not working 100% at the moment. Will update when I learn more. !! I had used this hack in the past in WM5 : But, for this to work in WM6 / WM6.1, you need to do the following: Create a folder on your Storage Card (I used "Email") Create a sub folder under it (I used "Attachments") Edit the registry at \HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings Create two new Strings Name: AttachPath Value: \Storage Card\Email\Attachments Name: PropertyPath String: \Storage Card\Email Copy the contents of \Windows\Messaging to \Storage Card\Email Copy the contents of \Windows\Messaging\Attachments to \Storage Card\Email\Attachments Reboot Confirm your existiting messages are still available Send / receive an email or two, confirm they are visble / works normally Delete the contents of \Windows\Messaging and \Windows\Messaging\Attachments to save space Thats it EDIT : If this a dup, I apologize. I blindly followed the WM5 move email hack on my Q9C and only noticed today (after a couple weeks that the Email folder on my Storage Card was empty). Had to hunt around to figure this out for 6.1.
Hmm, not sure why it did not for me? I got the 9C, made all my "normal" regedits, setup WirelessSync and used it for about 4 days. Then master reset, upgraded to 6.1 using the leaked ROM (only days before it was released officially, ha), re-did all my edits / reinstalled apps and noticed earlier today the email folder on the card was empty. Perhaps it is just 6.1 that is different...
Getting some strange behavior - messages show, but I do not get the body of the emails now. Let me keep playing with it for a while...
Still playing with it. Seems I have the lost the bodys for the existing emails in my inbox, new messages come in fine. But, regardless of storing the messages on the card or on the phone, the new .mpb and .att files still default to the phone. I'm thinking it may have something to do with wirelesssync, not sure yet. If you are willing to possibly lose your emails currently stored on the phone, give this hack a try - see if it behaves any differently for you. If you would rather play it safe until all the kinks can be worked out, make no changes. I m curious if this works for anyone else though.
heads up! http://www.everythingq.com/forum/moto-q-9h/storage-card-woes-26649.html might cause some problems on 6.1 with cache and email to storage card hack.
I don't get it.. I made the change and yet I'm still saving to the system memory. Filling it up quick too. Anyone figure out how to get it to work? -- Steve
I use these instructions since upgrading to WM6.0 Works everytime I think because it is in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
good point crash! Big-D's instructions give the HKLM also for WM6+....which is the hack I followed and has never failed.
email on storage card So, after reading some of the posts here, and before i do this, can you or anyone tell me if this "jacks" with the hack for ie temp to storage card. i saw that it was mentioned. i only ask this because i have had to do like 3 or 4 hard resets to get junk completely off my phone. i have a decently clean phone and want to keep it running smooth and uncluttered. thanks in advance.
Not sure what you mean by ..."jacks" with... but for the IE to Storage Card hack I use this hack and it has always worked on my phone... http://www.tleone.com/windows-mobile/58-move-inernet-explorer-cache-to-storage-card.html These are the first reg hacks that I import (cause after doing it too many times after Hard Reset I exported them and saved'e, on SD Card for future imports) and I've never had a problem.
I have been using the email to storage card and ietemp to storage card without issue on both my q9c and q9n. I created cab installers - the same hack as listed in the previous posts (which allows one to uninstall via settings/remove programs) for both: email to storage ietemp to storage John
I have only seen the problem occur with a few Q9h's (including mine). Very rare. I have not seen similar reports from other Q's.
Settings for Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 WM 6.1 windows mobile 6.1 email on storage card registry settings HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings\ AttachPath = \Storage Card\My Documents\Mail\Attachments\ PropertyPath = \Storage Card\Mail\ the other variations did not work for the TP2 but this location did. Don't forget to create the folders on your storage card.
Uninstalling jhalsey's email to storage .cab killed my phone. It took two master resets to get it back. Not happy. That .cab didn't do anything on my phone so the link should go away. * Trying to track the fail. I ran the .cab. Nothing. Then I added the HKLM/System/Inbox/Settings values AttachPath=Storage Card/Mail/Attachments and PropertyPath=Storage Card/Mail all programs on the storage card then became unavailable so I couldn't delete those registry entries. I then uninstalled the email to storage cab. The phone then wouldn't get past the green WM 6.1 screen. Two or three master resets finally cleared that. Posting from the phone now. ** Adding PropertyPath hoses my USCC Q9c. I installed PHM to the device this time so I could reverse the change. *** I now have 37.54MB free on the Device. When I got it I had to run AutoClean to get to 30MB free. ???
Sorry to hear about your problems. Fyi - I just uninstalled the cab file and had no problem. I then performed a soft reset, and still no problem - this on my Moto Napoleon. John
