How do you create your own short on the homescreen to email account?

I've posted several threads and questions on here, mostly because I am looking at moving from a Blackberry to an iPhone.
Friends have said managing multiple email accounts is easier on the iP than BB.  I fail to see how.  But here's how it might work, and I am asking if this is possible:
Rather than just having the green 'Mail' app icon in the lower homescreen bar, can you create shortcuts directly to email accounts on the phone that show many if any of them have new emails, and link DIRECTLY to those accounts in the Mail app?
So for example, on the 8520 (and all the others), you get an email in and see a red mark by that account's icon.  OR... you just want to check on an email in that account, you can just click that "hotmail" icon and you are straight in from the homescreen.
On the iPhone, you seem to have to click Mail, then Account.
Can you add a shortcut straight into each separate account?
I'm told you "must be able to", but not yet found out if it really is possible.  Same goes for What's App - can you get the Whats App icon straight there on the homescreen, AND the MSN icon there too?  Rather than going into messages then into those apps.

You can move any app to any location...
Tap and hold any app until it wiggles.
Move any app to the desired location, including folders.
Press the Home button when done.

Note that the double-click home allows you to switch betwee apps without going to the homescreen, i.e. you can do this from within an app.

  • How do you create your own theme?

    I'm into astronomy and I'd like to create my own theme on my phone (6300) for when I'm at a dark site.  We use red light only at dark sites because white light ruins your night vision for longer.  How can I create a red-based colour theme/wallpaper/text etc?

    Actually, the .nth files used as themes for S40 phones such as the 6300 are very simple and you don't really need any software other than a text editor to create them.
    These .nth files are in fact renamed .zip files. Rename one back to a .zip file, unzip it and look at the structure. At the core of it you have a simple XML file describing the various aspects of the theme. If any media (wallpaper, screensaver, ringtone etc.) is referred to in the XML file it'll be bundled in the archive along with the XML.
    Make any changes you want, zip the lot up again, rename it as a .nth file and you're done.

    How can you make your persona show on the top and bottom?
    Also can you make it bigger at the top to show more of the picture?

    Add extra empty toolbars if you want to see more of the persona.<br />
    You can create extra toolbars to get extra space via View > Toolbars > Customize<br />
    You have to put something on a toolbar (drag a Space item onto it) before closing the Customize window because empty toolbars are automatically removed.<br />

  • How do you create additional free space on the volume containing the iPhoto library?  I have plenty of HD space.

    How do you create additional free space on the volume containing the iPhoto library?  When attempting to import images from a CD I get an "Insufficient Disk Space" message albeit there is plaenty of additional space on the hard drive.

    How much free space do you have on your hard drive?  Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

    How do you separate multiiple ios devices using the same apple id account for Face Time calls and iMessaging?

    The only way I have seen is to have each device use a if fervent email account, if they all are on the same email the FaceTime connection is either to a phone number or to an email address.  If they ar all on the same email, it is up to the user to decide which to use.

  • How can you add your own print and export buttons to the CR viewer toolbar?

    I posted a previous question that was asking how to get around the Information Bar in IE7 when you export and print.  Unfortunately the CR viewer file download code gets blocked by IE7 because the buttons don't directly download the file.  However, I have been able to get a regular button that calls the following code and streams the file to the client and IE7 does not block it. 
    Sub PrintPDF(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)
         Dim crReportDocument as ReportDocument
         Dim crExportOptions as ExportOptions
         Dim crDiskFileDestinationOptions as DiskFileDestinationOptions
         Dim Fname as string
         CrReportDocument = New ReportDocument()
         CrReportDocument.Load(Server.MapPath("estactionlist.rpt"))
         Fname = Server.MapPath("./") & Session.SessionID.ToString & ".pdf"
         CrDiskFileDestinationOptions = New DiskFileDestinationOptions()
         CrDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = FName
         CrExportOptions = crReportDocument.ExportOptions
         With crExportOptions
              .DestinationOptions = CrDiskFileDestinationOptions
              .ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
              .ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
         End With
         CrReportDocument.Export()
         Response.ClearContent()
         Response.ClearHeaders()
                    Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=test.pdf")
                    Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
                    Response.Charset = ""
                    Response.WriteFile(Fname)
                    Response.Flush()
         Response.Close()
         System.IO.File.Delete(Fname)
    End Sub
    So here are my questions?
    1. Is it possible to add a custom print control/icon to the CR viewer toolbar?
    2. If one is not possible, then is it possible to override the CR viewer print and export buttons with your own subroutines like the one above?
    I just want my page to look nice and hate to have print and export buttons outside of my CR viewer. 
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    It might be possible to replace the buttons in a windows app since you can retrieve the toolbar as a toolbar object in the winform viewer  ( ToolStrip toolBar = (ToolStrip) crystalReportViewer1.Controls[3]; )  however with a web app, it's a lot more difficult.
    The problem is that that you need to parse the Request string to try and figure out if the print / export button was clicked.  The code below makes the print button disappear if you click it, so you should be able to modify it to call your custom printing / exporting code instead  (You have to do this check in a postback)
            Dim I As Integer = 0
            If Request.Form.AllKeys.Length > 0 Then
                For I = 0 To Request.Form.AllKeys.Length - 1
                    Response.Write(Request.Form.Keys(I).ToString & "<BR>")
                    If Request.Form.Keys(I).ToString = "CrystalReportViewer2:_ctl2:_ctl2.x" Then
                        CrystalReportViewer2.HasPrintButton = False
                    End If
                Next
           End If
