Email (0) help

[motoxkid478]

I took a quick look but couldnt find anything on this.
How do i set it up so it shows my emails on the home screen where its
Email(0) text messages (0) instead of it popping up below like so

gmail(23)
hotmail(34)

Also i thought i saw a way to set my hotmail to auto update mail but couldnt seem to find it again. i am a verizion user i dont know if it makes a diffrence thanks a bunch!!!

try searching for "counter" or something... it has been discussed a few times and most likely your issue is that the .xml is using the wrong plugin.

The issue is that the plugin you are using to check the email is only checking your activesync and not individual pop3 accounts you may have programmed in the phone.

The xml for the plugin should look something like this based on your description:

<plugin clsid="{62E5C279-1E55-4bbb-95DA-D576093C23BE}" name="MessageCount" height="20">
<background>
<format state="selected" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT"/>
</background>
<label>
<text lang="0x0409">Email <unreadMsgs name="ActiveSync" /></text>
<text lang="0x0C0A">Email <unreadMsgs name="ActiveSync" /></text>
</label>


If you change the line:
<text lang="0x0409">Email <unreadMsgs name="ActiveSync" /></text>

to:

<text lang="0x0409">Email <unreadEmail /></text>

The Email counter will show the count of all POP3 + ActiveSync


Hope that helps

\application data\home folder and find the .xml file that you are using

I just did that to a T and it's still not showing the mail count on the main screen. I'm using the default sprint layout and modified sprint.home.xml. Thats correct, isn't it?

[n99hockey]

post up your xml code for the message counter

edit: make sure you restart your homescreen or it wont take effect

[nags]

I think I may see the problem. I'll post back in a bit.

I need something to edit an xml file with.. Notepad doesn't seem to be doing it properly...

[nags]

Ok, finally got notepad to do it. What a pain in the ass! Waiting on an email to come through now to test it out
