Pocket PC Forum / End Users / SmartPhones / February 2008WM5 to WM6
Hi all I've moved from an XDA Mini S to an XDA Stellar Whilst overall I'm happy with the device one thing that really gets be is that most places WM5 had "New" WM6 seems to have "Delete" ! .... I create new things more often than I delete old ones. Is there anyway this can be changed ? It's VERY anoying on the Inbox application especially ! Thanks in advance Andrew > Whilst overall I'm happy with the device one thing that really gets be is > that most places WM5 had "New" WM6 seems to have "Delete" ! ....

That has to be the biggest complaint we see here about WM6 from folks who upgrade! :-) Unfortunately I know of no way to change it, that anyone's ever come up with. I must be the oly person who liked that change. Since I use IMAP and deletions from the device sync with my server, I delete a lot of e-mail from my device and then don't have to see it again on my desktop! Generally when I compose e-mail on the device, it's typically replying to another e-mail, so I rarely use "New." Sorry for the bad news... Guess the developers all use IMAP then ! ;) >> Whilst overall I'm happy with the device one thing that really gets be is >> that most places WM5 had "New" WM6 seems to have "Delete" ! ....

Maybe they were so proud of themselves when they fixed it on WM6, they decided to dedicate a softkey to it to show it off! ;-) > Guess the developers all use IMAP then ! ;) > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >> >> Sorry for the bad news... Actually they sync directly with Exchange server as a native client. I, BTW, am another you welcomed the delete. Like Todd, I do that a lot more than New.

In the beginning I found it terrible as well. Then I began to look for other users and check what they do more, and came to the conclusion that around 80% of WM users do much more Deletes in their mailboxes than New Messages. That quantity proved to me that MS had the right thing in mind when they made the change. So I just got used to it and today I don't feel the difference anymore.
