Default FlexMail 2007 Smartphone Beta from WebIS

http://www.pocketinformant.com/Forums/index.php?showtopic=10098

"This build includes the first iteration of the two way updates (Live Sync) over an existing IDLE connection. Only flags updates (for everything except deleted flag for now) work right now. We want now to gather your feedback on how this works. Then we’ll add message moving and deleting support too (it will be faster, the main principle will be the same). Secondly there are some major SP Port improvements (main folders tree navigation, attachments handling, Socks, SSL and SMTP authentication dialogs ported etc.). We’d like to hear more response from Motorola Q users."

Long time Pocket PC users have heard of, if not used FlexMail on their devices. So, you'll be happy to hear that FlexMail is coming to the Smartphone and WebIS needs some help to beta test the application. They are especially looking for Q users, but I'm sure they would welcome any device Smartphone owners input.

I've had it on my Q a couple of days now. The one thing I noticed missing, not a big deal, no pictures of the sender show up in the email header as they normally do.

i installed flexmail (beta) for SP then uninstalled and now i'm getting an error when i try and go back into the default messaging app.

"unable to locate "wismail" or one of its components" yada yada. anyone know how to fix? i'm assuming i can get wismail from someone and drop it back into its proper location?

HELP! (thanks)

Hmm...wismail is FlexMail (old .exe name). Might want to try the WebIS beta forum.

i looked over there and its a known issue (ugh) w/o much of a fix. i got around it by creating a new shortcut in my start menu to "tmail" (which i found in /windows). i guess when flexmail installs it takes over the messaging icons/shortcuts and "forgets" to put them back when its uninstalled

I always regret installing this app. Once again I'm reminded why. It really doesnt do anything but mess up my devices. Maybe clearing the registry of all traces of it will cure the problem. I havent tried to uninstall it yet.

Anyone know if this sits on top of the existing Inbox, or if it has its own data store? Thanks!

I believe it uses the exiting Outlook and SMS boxes. If you create individual accounts, they might use their own space.

Deleted and forgotten. I did not have the issue of not being able to find the native messaging application after uninstall.
