microsoft exchange syncing and storing emails on SD card - Treo Forum

islandsnow · 01-31-2007, 12:42 PM

hello... i posted this in another board but not getting responses so i'll try here. not sure if this is a treo 750 specific issue, but here is my problem:

i recently got a treo 750 for my boss and have it syncing with our exchange server. thats fine, everything syncs. problem is, my boss has 10,000+ email messages that i know he's going to want all on the treo. along with its megabytes and megabytes of attachments. i've read where there's a registry hack to move the inbox location from the internal memory out to the storage card. (AttachPath, and PropertyPath)

i successfully did it on my hp ipaq hw6945. but on the treo 750, it keeps renaming my storage card to storage card2, and then creating a folder called storage card which i assume is still on the internal memory. i read somewhere that the reason for that is because the messaging today plugin runs first before it recognizes that there is a storage card. so when the storage card is finally recognized and there is already a folder called storage card, it renames to storage card2. the suggestion was to disable the messaging today plugin. i did that. still renames my storage card. i then disabled all my today plugins, soft reset, and it still renames my storage card! this is getting frustrating. is it something about the treo 750 that the registry hack won't work? has anyone with a treo 750 successfully changed their inbox location from the \windows\messaging folder to their storage card?

To be honest I think you'd need to post on somewhere like XDA Developers as they have programers and registry hackers who would be better suited to answering that kind of question.

thanks, i'll post there. i just figured that maybe some 750 user out there encountered this. afterall, the 750 supposed to be for corporate business power users, who would normally have tons of emails that they need on their treo.

I don't think there are too many 750 owners on here at the moment.
