ActiveSync policies in Windows 8 Mail client

I'm having an issue with ActiveSync policies remaining on Windows 8 machines after the corporate account they are coming from is removed from the mail client. I have tried all ways of removing the account...remove in the app, delete from the server,
perform a remote wipe from the server, and uninstalling the entire mail app. None of these have produced the desired outcome of the policies being removed when the email account is removed. Any help/ideas is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
Have had the same problem. If you go to PC Settings -> Users -> The option to change "Any user who has a password must enter it after waking this PC" is grayed out.
In order to reset this (and other enforced security settings) after removing the Activesync account please go to: Control Panel - > All Control Panel Items -> User Accounts. Bottom left there should be an option to "Reset Security Policies". Do
it.
Afterwards you should also be able to change "Any user who has a password must enter it after waking this PC" under PC Settings -> Users.
Hope this helps!

Windows 8 MAIL client renames G-Mail PDF attachments filename and extension to PDF????

Hi PPL,
I have the Windows 8 MAIL client configured to get G-Mail based on an imap configuration.
When opening gmail.com in Internet Explorer and looking at a specific email I do see 2 attachments for example with name: "Mail Attachement1.PDF" & "Mail Attachement2.PDF" In the browser I can open the attachment as pdf files.
When opening the mail in the Windows 8 MAIL client the attachment are renamed to:
ATT000442.ext & ATT000445.ext
I can't find what is causing this, please help!!
Regards,
Arjan

same issue....
Do a Network capture of the HTTP message flow. E.g. use Fiddler4 in order to get its Enable Local Loopback utility
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/fiddler/archive/2011/12/10/fiddler-windows-8-apps-enable-loopback-network-isolation-exemption.aspx
Most likely you will find that a Content-type header is what is causing your symptom. Then you could ask the administrator of the server to change that to make sure that it looks like .pdf and not what you are getting. Note that Fiddler would
allow you to create your own override to test whatever change you would like to be implemented.

Is there a Mac equivalent of the Windows Live Mail client?

(If anyone reading isn't familiar with Windows Live Mail, please look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WindowsLiveMail to see what I mean. Please don't suggest clients like Microsoft Entourage etc as they're not what I'm looking for!)
I used to have a Windows laptop and used the Windows Live Mail client to manage my Hotmail accounts. It was brilliant as it synchronised exactly with webmail (all folders present and correct, if I deleted an email on the webmail it would delete from the programme and vice versa, etc) and did this with as many email accounts as I liked - so I could access all three from the same screen. Perfect!
When I got a Macbook I discovered that Windows Live Mail wasn't available for Mac. I spent a couple of weeks looking for a suitable alternative but never found one.
I'm aware of how to use Hotmail in a regular mail client but I've not found one exactly the same as Windows Live Mail. There's always a problem with synchronisation between the client and webmail, I can only get the inboxes imported and no other folders synchronise which is a pain as I don't always use my laptop to read my email - if I read it elsewhere using webmail and move an email from the inbox to another folder, I'd have to do a second time when I next use my laptop. Hence I don't bother and just use webmail instead - but I hate logging in and out of three accounts!
As it's been ages since I last looked, I thought I'd look again - but I still can't find anything that works the way I want.
Is there a Mac equivalent of Windows Live Mail (http://download.live.com/wlmail)? Something that works in exactly the same way? I wish Windows weren't so childish and would just release a version of this for Mac... it's pretty much the only thing I miss from my old laptop!
(Please don't suggest changing email accounts - I've asked this elsewhere and that was the only response I got!)

In few words, "No." There is no such client for the Mac. The closest you may find would be to try the Mac MSN client, aMSN - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - but it's essentially just a messenger clone. I doubt it includes a Live Mail client.
(Please don't suggest changing email accounts - I've asked this question elsewhere and that was the only response I got!)
Because there is no other response.

Can I import messages from my 'Windows Live Mail' client

I have been having a lot of problems with Windows Live Mail so have decided to try Thunderbird. I have set up my a/c and downloaded messages from gmail but would like to load my folders and their contents from windows live mail.

You have to manually add:
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > add here

Open tab not window from mail client?

Until recently, whenever I clicked a URL in a mail message (inside Thunderbird), the URL would open in a new Safari tab. Now it opens in a new Safari window.
I presume it's Safari that's controlling this. What preferences setting?
Platform: Safari 5.1.4 under OS X 10.7.3

Linc Davis, thanks, that fixed things; I don't know why I didn't look on the Tabs pane of the preferences.
The problem arose after I had been forced to delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist in order to get Safari to add new bookmarks.
(That's a whole other issue: from time to time, Safari simply refuses to accept more bookmarks. Each time the solution is to delete that file, which for unknown reasons gets corrupted.)

No cursor in Windows 8 mail on Helix

For some reason, I don't see any cursor while typing on WIndows 8 mail client. The cursor shows up fine in other applications. Without the cursor it is difficult to see where I am typing! Is this a Windows 8 issue or some weirdness with Helix ?

AOL Mail Client can't download pictures from Apple Mail?

Hey gang-
My sister and her family use the current Windows AOL email client to send and receive email. I sent them some JPEGs using Apple Mail, and I selected "Send Windows Friendly Attachments" before composing the message. Anyhow, they can see the pictures in the AOL mail client, but they don't seem to be able to download the JPEGs to disk. They say they've never had this problem before, so I wonder if it's an issue with how Apple Mail sends the JPEGs?
I have no idea how the Windows AOL mail client works, but does anyone know of any general guidance I can give them?
Thanks!
Dave

Dave,
Travis has captured all the facets of the problem. I will only add that the surest way to send to AOL is to use Plain Text. This has always been the advice with Mail (i.e., not use RTF to AOL recipients) but additional factors have been added by Mail 2.0. Whenever RTF is used, along with attachments, and there is furthermore a mixture of fonts utilized, Mail converts to use HTML, and changes the status of files attached, even for users other than AOL. The most common sources of mixed font usage are from a Signature, or from text included in replying, or forwarding.
When sending to AOL users, continue to use Windows Friendly, but also use Plain Text. If you do not wish to set Plain Text as the default in Compose, then on these messages, click on Format in the Menu Bar, and choose Make Plain Text on an individual message.
Let us know if problems persist, despite this method.

Can I set Firefox as my windows 7 default mail client?

I've already set Firefox's mailto/send etc email program to Gmail, but I want to also set the Windows 7 default mail client to use FireFox (which knows to use gmail). For example, when in Windows Photo Viewer I click "email" and then "attach" I get an error: "Either there is no default e-mail client, or the current client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default email client" What is the equivalent way to run FireFox and set it as the default Windows 7 client? I want my OS default e-mail to open Firefox and then use the e-mail settings already setup in FireFox.
== For example, when in Windows Photo Viewer I click "email" and then "attach"

No you cannot because Firefox is not a email client. [http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ SeaMonkey] has a built in email client that you can use

"no default mail client": windows 7, adobe reader 11, office 2013

re: Error: "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run MS Outlook and set it as the default mail client etc."
Does anyone know how to permanently stop this error, when simply tring to launch a PDF to view it????
Windows 7, Office 2013, Acrobat Pro 11.0.3
A test was done to uninstall reader 11, and reinstall 9.5, which at least allowed the PDF to be viewed on one computer, but did not fix other apps needing to interoperate with PDF and email (i.e. attach and email).
Is this a windows 7 registry problem, or a DLL problem?

Hi Randal,
Firstly even though Outlook is set as default mail client you need to reapply the same from 'Start> Default Programs> Set Default Programs'
Now check if you still face the issue.
If Yes then you MUST add an email account in Reader to eliminate this message
In your Reader Preferences under Email Accounts, click Add Account>Other
In the Add Webmail Account window, input your email account details
Under Advanced Settings, configure your incoming and outgoing ports and security settings per your email account
Click OK, and then click Add. In the window, click the email account you just added and click "Make Default"
When it's set as the default mail account you'll see a check mark, and you WON'T see the error message anymore.
In case you still face issues please try the following registry change:
The registry edit is here for Office 2013 64 bit click to run installations that will enable Outlook 2013 to be recognized by third party applications:
1. Create registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook
2. Create String value:
Bitness
3. Set the String value for Bitness to:
x64
Note: Please backup the registry before trying to modify it.
There's also a MS hotfix which you might want to run: "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request" error message w…
Let me know if this helped.

Tunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.

Not really a problem with Firefox per se; just wondering how I set Windows Live Hotmail as my default mail client.

I am switching from ymail to hotmail as my mail client. I am having a VERY difficult time switching my default mail client to Windows Live Hotmail from Yahoo Mail. Please help!!!!! I have followed all the directions for IE8 but of course they don't work with Firefox. Could you send me in the right direction? Thank you so very much for your prompt attention to this matter.

Synchronization Problems with BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.5v and Windows Mail Client

BlackBerry (RIM) Desktop Manager 4.5v synchronization setup does not work properly. I cannot synchronize my desktop calendar because the only desktop application formats available are (<None>, Ascii Import/Export and Yahoo), Windows Mail is not an option!
I contacted BlackBerry and the only response I received was that I need the Outlook Express program to synchronize my desktop calendar.
Microsoft upgraded from the Outlook program to Windows mail to provide a better program, which I happen to like! The idea of purchasing the Outlook Express software when there is nothing wrong with my current mail program does not make any sense to me! And will BlackBerry support any Vista system issues if there are any compatibility problems with the old Microsoft mail client?
Has anyone contacted BlackBerry about this issue? Any ideas how to fix this problem?
Why can’t Blackberry (RIM) resolve the synchronization issue? In addition to this problem, you may find that the Desktop Manager Device Switch Wizard does not function with the Treo 650 and BlackBerry 8830 and the Advanced feature in Backup and Restore does not seem to save the any files that you want to restore.
BlackBerry Please Help!
Note:
Microsoft Office Standard 2007 is $399, really expensive! Not sure if you can purchase the mail client separately.
- Microsoft website: [“Outlook Express has been replaced by Windows Mail, an improved e‑mail program with enhancements such as junk e‑mail filtering and protection against phishing messages.”]

Hello My8830
You can only synchronize contacts with Windows Mail - you can not synchronize calendar, memos, or tasks. Outlook express does not have these items, and the version of Windows Mail that I am running also does not have them. Windows Calendar is seperate from windows mail on my version of Vista.
So to clarify it all, downgrading to Outlook Express will still not get you calendar synchronization as it does not have a calendar.
Cheers

Mail Client choice with PSE Organizer 12 / Windows 8.1

The (french) doc says Edition > Preferences > partage (share)
(Windows) Microsoft Outlook®, pour définir cette application comme messagerie par défaut.
(Windows) Microsoft Outlook, to define this option as the default mail system
(Windows) Service de messagerie Adobe, si vous n’utilisez ni Outlook ni Outlook Express, mais que vous voulez envoyer des messages électroniques directement depuis Elements Organizer.
(Windows) Adobe mail service, if you don't use Outlook or Outlook express, but you still want to send mail directly from PSE Organizer
.... other choices left according to OS version
The only choice is ... no choice: Adobe mail service ... and I want to use Outlook ...
Thanks for help

did you install the dns role on the server?
it might also need to have ad installed as well, as part of the org
DirectAccess requires Active Directory. The OP wouldn't have been able to install the role in the first place if he didn't have it, and since AD requires DNS, your suggestions are incorrect.

Acrobat 9.2.0, Windows 7 and 64 bit Microsoft Outlook - no mail client

Any suggestions? I have made sure that Outlook is my mail client. I have reinstalled both Microsoft Outlook and Acrobat.

Looks like it is the compatibility of OFFICE 64-bit and AA9. The link seems to give a reasonable solution, but I suspect other parts of OFFICE will also create problems. As far as I know, the latest version of AAX is the only one that is compatible with the 64-bit OFFICE. So you might expect to see some other problems. Nice to see a solution post in any case.

Problems with windows live mail

Hi there,
Today I received my blackberry 8520, but i've got one problem with my windows live mail account. I only receive the e-mails on my live account after i checked them on my computer.
I did receive an announcement that when i use an e-mailclient, in my situation microsoft outlook, i have to change the settings of this client. If the client doesn't save my e-mails on the server, blackberry is unable to deliver them to my device.
I unsterstand the problem but i can't solve it. Is there anybody who knows how to solve my problem?
Many thanks,
Chantal

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Outlook has settings that dictate what it does when you have it grab your email from the server. The location is variable depending on Outlook version...I can only give you the steps for my version (2K7). From within Outlook:
Tools > Account Settings > select the account > Change > More Settings > Advanced
On that screen, you must change the "Delivery" options so that the messages are left on the server for BIS to be able to retrieve them. BIS grabs email every 15 minutes. If you have Outlook running and have it grabbing email every 5 minutes AND have it (via this screen) removing the email from the server when it does so, then there will be nothing for BIS to grab when it makes its next scheduled attempt. You need to change these settings to something that allows BIS to have something to grab from the server when it tries.
What to set these to is a function of your needs and your email providers policies. Typically, if you set Outlook to Leave messages on the server yet remove them after 1 day, you can stay within all needs and policies.
Hope that helps!
