IPhone 3g Firmware v.2.1 Email Encoding Russian Cyrillic
I am posting my results for successfully sending Russian text in an e-mail message from the IPhone 3g to Outlook Express 6.0, in a post with a more searchable subject line (as there doesn't seem to be much info out there regarding this).
Far below is the complete e-mail header (with my sending/receiving accounts disguised), sent from an Iphone (Firmware = 2.1) at the ATT store today. Note that I sent the e-mail from my GMail account to my Hotmail account using a SMTP server. The Russian language e-mail received in my Hotmail account by POP server was successfully and automatically read with Outlook Express 6.00. E-mail format received was UTF-8. Encoding does not appear to be configurable with the IPhone (at least at this time).
Note that a previous try a few weeks ago at the ATT Store with Firmware 2.0 did not result in Russian language e-mail with a useable encoding (was sent iso-2022-jp for some crazy reason) - but Firmware 2.1 was successful and seems to have fixed the bug.
Note that regarding UTF-8 (from Wikipedia): "UTF-8 can encode any Unicode character, avoiding the need to figure out and set a "code page" or otherwise indicate what character set is in use, and allowing output in multiple languages at the same time." So it seems like UTF-8 is a good choice.
Now I feel safe to buy an Iphone 3g next week. Your success or failure may vary. Comments and experiences please. Don't forget to post your e-mail headers and details to help us all!
Enjoy!

I understand what you are saying. I would truly prefer to use KOI8-R encoding (described in your link) as I always have done for e-mail communication in the Russian Language. However, I can also understand how it might be advantageous to implement UTF-8 in the IPhone, as it is one encoding standard to be used for most (if not all) of the odd-character foreign languages. For me, UTF-8 and v.2.1 firmware appears to make the IPhone useable, and makes the difference to me in a buy/no buy scenario. Future upgrades of the firmware could address "other" encoding formats - and that will just fine with me. Probably Apple needed a quick fix to make the IPhone work in Russia (started selling them there in October). Now if someone with a Russian IPhone 3g will verify the encoding format(s) available to them it would be interesting.

Solutions for issues on iPhones with firmware 3.0
Don't know if these issues - flaws and fixes have been addressed in this forum, but here it is.
Issues:
Since updating to firmware 3.0 on my 2G and 3G iPhone, I have noticed the following problems on both iPhones:
1) slow response, faster battery drain, general erratic behavior
2) GPS is inaccurate, long time to connect to satellites for GPS tracking, was accurate when on firmware 2.2.1 using Map app (only on 3G or maybe 3GS iPhones too)
Fixes:
1) turns out that the cause of the first issue on both iPhones (at least for me) was when the iPhones updated to firmware 3.0 - PUSH email service was automatically enabled. Disabling PUSH email service to FETCH email service in preference did the trick. While your there, scroll to the bottom and chose Advance then choose each email address and change to Fetch as well for each email address listed. Yes this will disable Push email, but will temporarily fix this issue until the firmware fix comes out.
2) this issue is really addressed for 3G and 3GS iPhones with GPS capabilities only. To make the GPS accurate again and connect with tracking satellites, turn off 3G networking service. Probably another firmware issue which causes a GPS - 3G network conflict, but once the 3G network service is disabled, the GPS worked accurately again and connected to tracking satellites instantaneously. GPS accuracy worked flawlessly with Navigon app mapping when 3G network service is disabled. When you need the 3G service just activate again.
These simple fixes might not work for everyone, but try it out, it worked for me.Quote from: microsoftenator on 24-May-05, 13:27:49

I found out that if you push Play, FM, Record and the 5-way-button-down; it resets the player.
You don't have to wait for the battery to run down.

I have several users in an exchange environment who cannot email a photo from the iPhone. When the click on Email Photo, they are prompted to configure a mail account even though there is already an exchange account in place. How do I remediate this? Not all of the users in our environment have this issue. If the users having this issue, install a secondary email account, Gmail, Hotmail, etc, then they can send through those accounts. Why would the exchange account not be seen to send photos?
Sounds like it worked until the policies associated with the account that are creating the problem were fully pushed down.
Try setting up a new (test) Exhange account and see if it behaves the same way on the phone (after removing the problem account from the phone, of course). -
I have Exchange and Yahoo accounts on my iPhone 4. At least 1 email I send from out thru my Exchange account fails to send and it simply refuses to leave the outbox. The only guaranteed way of sending it is to change the sender to my yahoo account. Note that is ONLY occurs on replies to existing emails, never new emails.
It is only certain mails that fail. Even if I delete the mail and write another reply it will still fail.
Could it be content related? It happened on IOS4 & 5.
I've asked one of the staff in the Apple shop and he said he's seen this before but doesnt know the answer - not really helpful if you're trying to work off your iPhone :-(Thanks razmee209.
I would agree with you if I still couldnt send the reply by changing the sender to my yahoo account; but as I mentioned before - whenever the mail fails to send, I can ALWAYS send it by changing the sender to my yahoo account.
I agree that it must be something within the original mail, but why does it trigger a failure if I reply from my exchange account and not my yahoo yahoo account.
I can delete the Exchange account and re-add it, but it makes no difference. I've also rebooted the phone but again, no difference. -
Is there a way of using a mail merge function while on the iphone or ipad, i wish to email a "Word style, ot TXT" document to 250 of my contacts, I have tried downloading my contacts to my PC's outlook but only 1 contact comes across at a time despite the fact that Icloud says downloading namedperson + 249 other contacts to a CSV file
Hi everyone!
Looking also for an app that allows me to merge email and send them out to each recipient individually. Apparently that's not possible yet. Here's what the guys at RedbitsApps told me about Group Email capabilities:
"The current version of the app relies on the device operating system to send the emails. For this reason, sending individual email instead of a single email to multiple recipients is not possible. Apple doesn't allow apps to send single emails to many recipients easily. We may use a custom sending software in a future version."
Let's keep looking guys... -
I have an iPhone and use Roadrunner as my email server. When I open RR it gives me 4 choices, inbox, drafts, sent and trash. I would like to add saved, how can I do this. I contacted RR and they said it is an Apple problem to solve.
Roadrunner is POP email, and the feature you are looking for
is a function of IMAP email. Roadrunner has not announced
any plans to make IMAP available. If this is important to you,
get a gmail account (which can be setup as IMAP) and configure
your Roadrunner account to automatically forward emails to the
gmail account. -
I can't seem to sync my calendar on my iphone to iCal because the default email address associated with my calendar on my iphone was to an old work email address that I no longer have. When I go to ICal it asks for the username and password which I no longer have. The calendar is still on my phone (even though the email account is on my phone but doesn't work) Is there a way to copy my calendar to a different email address on my iphone? I have now set the default email account for the calendar to a current email address but I still can't figure out how to merge my iphone calendars, copy the iphone calendar to iCal, or save my iphone calendar to my mac. Also, I read in ITunes to check "sync to ICal" but my ITunes under my iphone and info just says "Sync Calendars" which doesn't transfer it to iCal when I sync my phone.

When I sync my iPhone 5 to Outlook 2010, the email addresses that I have listed as Email 1 for any given contact in my iPhone will be automatically moved to Email 3 in the Outlook file. Is there a way to fix this?
iCloud email supports 'plus' addressing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Address_tags
So your friend could just add '+research' to the username part of your email address, and you setup a rule at icloud.com to put all emails sent to that address into a particular folder.
For example:
[email protected]
There's no way to do it without rules on the server though. -

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
