Sending a text message to an email - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Sometimes for work I get a text message from a mailing list when a server goes down. For some reason I am unable to send a text reply to the email. Is this something I have to do something special for? I have always been able to do it on my old phones (non windows mobile).

that's a carrier feature. You'll have to call them. Probably the old phones were configured for your carrier.

can we be more specific? I'm having a hard time following you.
You get a SMS message from work? or an email?
is it sent to the SMS address on your phone or as an email?
When you reply, are you sending a SMS or an Email? what is the address type that you are replying to?
The devil is in the details....

When the mailing list sends out the messages it sends it to something like my phone number @txt.att.net however when I go to reply with a text message (sms) to the email address that the message was sent from it gives me an error saying "The text message account cannot be used to send email messages"

ok... you are using the email to SMS gateway.
you cannot text message to an email address from your phone.
You can MMS to an email address, try it that way
HOWEVER, if the sms you receive has sending address of a bunch of numbers, it can reply back to the original sender using the sms to email gateway that AT&T (or others) provides.. just reply.. do not change the address.

AT&T is my carrier and I send SMS to email addresses everyday. The email recepient sends their email to me and it shows up in SMS format. When I flashed to a Schaps Rom, I could not do it anymore, so I flashed to another rom (k's 1.30b) and it works just fine. It's a pretty handy feature to have. I am not sure if it is a carrier feature, but I do know not all roms let you do it.

That must be what it is. I am using the TNT rom. I will try another.

Try this one

Email from MMS?

I have the Dash with mobile 6.1 and I want to email a photo from my device instead of picture texting it. It won't allow me to type in an email because all letters are disabled from the send to box. I can't type an email at all I have looked all over the options to try to find an option to allow me to email the photo instead of sending mms to a phone. Is there a secret behind this? why does windows mobile make this so hard? I've had many other phones that weren't windows mobile and I've never once had this issue?
If you have an email set up in your device just compose an email and insert you picture.

Well I thought about that but it's a prepaid phone and not service so I can't do that it will eat my minutes up to fast.
well there ya go. email is data. Do you have data on your prepaid? If not then you cant email.
setup the email address in your contacts, then you will be able to select emails, however without a data plan you wont be able to send them.

Email Messaging on HTC Touch Pro2

Hi All,
Say, if i do emails on my tp2, i send the email out and forget to bcc me, i forward the email to myself separately. I only get my signature without the full contents. Wondering if this is normal??
Is there any way we can configure the client or alternate programs to like pull emails like from 9am to 6pm instead?
Kinda like Nokia's default email client on e71s, i can choose when and how to download emails. And at the same time have an option to automatically send me a copy of the emails.
Thanks alot in advance or sorry if this is a stupid question..
EDIT: Is this a known thingy? Will wm 6.5 be addressing this issue?
1. When I forward mails, the entire message is included. I can think of 2 reasons why this isn't working for you.
a. You use Windows Live email (ie Hotmail) and you didn't toggle on the setting in Windows Live to include original message when replying/forwarding.
b. You've only set to download the email headers. You need to download the full message from the server before forwarding to include the whole message.
2. You can schedule your email push/pull between specific times of the day only if you use Windows Live or Exchange.
I know many people like to bcc themselves on all emails but you can just check the Sent folder as an alternative. I guess it's just a matter of preference...
My work email is primative pop3/smtp.. I'm using the default messaging on the htc touchflo3d, not the windows live.
Hmm.. i'll try the down entire message thingy..
Hi,
Have tried to use download entire email messages... still the same.. when i forward the email out.. it goes until only my signature.. does not forward the entire message
anymore ideas??
I was wondering that perhaps it may be because you're connecting via POP3. But this doesn't appear to be the case. I just tested setting up my Gmail account via POP3 and I can forward messages just fine.
After you tap on "Forward", you should be taken to a compose screen where you type in your recipients. If you scroll down, do you see the original message in full?
thats the thing... i can see the whole email in full.. theres teh "edit original sender's message" thingy...
but when i actually click send.. it only send out the portion i typed.. -.-
I have sent my phone in for service b4, updated software, hard reset... all the same... maybe i'll try my gmail and update again..
What happens if you tap the part thatt enables you to edit the original message before you send?
same ; ;
10chars
tested with Gmail and yahoo... by configuration, both uses imap on the client..
tested with my other personal email from isp... think i found a pattern..
If i forward from inbox.. everything ok..
If i forward from sent items... only what i type is sent...
i didnt test on imap.. deleted my account.. anyone got any observations??
any help??!?? ; ;

New problem not on the forums

Im using a deisre on tmobile uk
Im only using google mail, with push and have no pop3 accounts set up.
If I choose a calender entry and try to share it, the phone will ask me how? IE email, text message etc. It wont allow you to send it by email unless its pop3.
I tried sending it via text to another phone, and my phone sent an mms, to a number starting 100.
My operator charged me for the message, but as the number it was sent to was not the contacts phone number it never arrived.
Also, now that I had sent that message, if I went into messages and tried to click on a recent conversation with this person, I could send another normal text message, but it would actually be sent as another picture message and again to the wrong number.
Hope this stops any of you falling fowl of this bug.
Unless any of you want to prove this bug and post below?

[Q] Cannot send message or email to "ME" contact

I'm running Mynn Warm 2.2
I have set up a contact with my email address and phone number as "ME" so i can easily send myself a txt or email for capturing information. I can see the contact in google contacts under My Contacts. I cannot however send an email or txt message to that contact in my messagin app, either default or Handcent, and i cannot send an email to that contact because "ME" doesn't show up as a valid contact when i type ME in the "to" field. Can someone help me figure out how to have my phone recognize ME as a valid contact and be able to send myself txts and emails to this contact?
I'm wondering if it may ahve something to do with the "My Contact Card in the Sense rom???
Just create another contact with your name and info that should work.

RR Send Error Messages

I am not able to send emails from my Road Runner email account. Am getting 530 and 535 error messages. I can receive emails fine. Contacted RR and they gave me the correct outgoing server settings. Authentication still failed when sending a message. Tech said that is weird that the outgoing authentication will not recognize my user name and password, yet the incoming settings do because I am receiving emails. Was sent to a 2nd level tech. Still couldn't get it to work. He said to contact Samsung because there is something with how Samsung configures the settings. I called Samsung but email techs are not there on the weekend. Is anyone else using RR email and able to send messages? Or if you had problems sending email and resolved it, how was that corrected? Thanks.
I'm in SC and Roadrunner here does not allow off network use of their smtp server. So in short unless you are sending from a Roadrunner ip address it's going to reject the connection. Maybe that is your issue as well?
I got around it by using gmail as my outgoing mail server. You can go into your gmail settings and there is an option to show the email as sent from Roadrunner rather than gmail so if people reply the email will come back through your Roadrunner account.
Road Runner in my area allows mobile access to email. The outgoing server is mobile-smtp.roadrunner.com with a dedicated port number. Using the mobile protocol, I still get a failed message that states "requires authentication." Surely others are using RR email on this phone. Would be great if someone using RR could provide some feedback.
