I am unable to receive images on any HTML emails. (Although HTML text shows up properly.)

I have received many messages since the BIS upgrade. All have the same problem. I even registed a new gmail account, assuming that my Yahoo may have had some restrictions.

I've tried forwarding messages to myself, and it's always the same ole 2-step. Arrows flash, no images appear.

I am assuming that the service books were removed first, and resent from the BIS site, Battery Pull, setting TCP settings, and then calling to the carrier.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. No.

I haven't called the T-Mob because I have an unlocked 8300 on T-Mob and during situations like this, I get the "you have an unsupported device blah blah blah"

Great discussion folks. Does anyone know if this works on BES? Do the BES admins have to allow HTML through a BES setting?

BES 4.1.6 (not out yet) or hacked BES 4.1.5 can do HTML email.

Thanks

You put internet.com as the username? What do you put for apn?

He is on a different carrier than you, yours will be different.

I'm having the same issue as others in this thread
I have OS 4.5.0.46
Resent Service Books and get the option to "Get Images" but after that nothing happens. Have done battery pulls and tried several TCP combinations but still do not get images.
Anyone got any other suggestions ?
Thanks

TDowdy, welcome to the BBForums.

Give it a day, see if it works.

disable Wifi, and it will work! it isn't enough to be away from wifi zone, you must disable it in connections.

Thanks, JS
I been messing with this for a week or so, even thought it's not a huge deal It's kinda turned into a personel quest.
TD

any extra info on the how for this....


Nevermind i found the info, searched in wrong forum.

hey new to the bb thing. how do i update service books on the 8310 with att service? thanks

Read steps B) 1 and 2, above, clicking on the link at the end of step B)1.

Log into your providers BIS site from your handheld (see your personal email setup icon) or from your PC.

i have the same issue. i'm on at&t as well. i sent the service books several times, did the battery pull.

i sent myself an html email with a link to an image. the image showed up in the email. i didn't have to "Get Image".

weirdness

JSanders- awesome post. The lack of HTML e-mail has been bugging me for a while.

Thanks!

Ok so I'm on att with an 8310. I was running os 4.5.46 and html wasn't working. I would "get images" and the two arrows would blink as if it were working and then nothing happens.

Yesterday I found version 4.5.52 floating around the internet. I installed it (at my own risk of course) and now html works fine in the e mails. Although it does take a while for all the images to load

Seems to work fine for me but somethimes large inmages do take a few minutes to load

There are no free codes. Check the link in my signature for a great deal on unlocks.

Wow! This sounds exactly like what I am seeing. Hopefully they'll release a newer OS for the 8300 soon


Thanks for giving me hope that an OS upgrade will fix my problem

This worked for BIS, but what about my BES email from exchange? I don't have that option.

A BES server upgrade is necessary. BES 4.1.6 (or a hacked version of 4.1.5) is required for html on BES mail. My company just upgraded to 4.1.5 so I'm waiting for html on my BES mail, too.

My apologies if this is off-topic to this thread. How does OS 4.5/BIS 2.5 HTML mail viewing compare to Empower Pro? I'm still on 4.2.2 so haven't had a chance with RIM's HTML viewing solution. Does it download all images to device memory or can it be set to cache to media card like Empower does? Anyone notice any significant memory impact?

Thanks for any input!

This is some great info! I've been getting so annoyed with the upgraded OS and no html email support. Just got mine working. Great post!

thanks for the tips

I have upgrade my 8800 to 4.5 but I am not seeing the option to enable HMTL under Email settings. Any idea why would it be?

Thanks

Cricket, since you didn't state that you have done so, did you follow Steps B, C, and D listed in the first post above?

You need to.

Sorry J. I have done step A, in B I used BES and resend the service book but in C I could not find the option to enable HTML.

Thanks

If you note in Step B,
This is for the BIS process only.

I don't recall the BES versions which allow HTML, it is documented here in the forums though. Check the BES section.

Officially BES 4.1 SP6 will support HTML email.

unofficially, Jibi has posted a way to do this with 4.1 SP5

See, even a baboon can do it.

But cricket, ya gotta read those directions!

Thanks hdawg and J. very funny!!

Ok J. here's curve ball for you. After I did the upgrade to 4.5 I am able to send and receive emails and also able to make calls. I got the IT policy pushed to my 8800 to enable WLM but since I got this policy I cannot make or receive calls. I have done soft reset but still no luck. Am I missing something here?

Thanks.

First of all a huge THANK YOU for the info. Fantastic!

A little background: I'm running my own BES server (4.1.5.24) over Exchange 2007

Followed the instructions, completed the BES hack and all is well with embedded graphics but still having problems with the 'get images' part. Much like has been previously described here; all arrows, no pictures. As luck would have it I got an email with one of those 'view this email on the web' links so I decided to follow it only to be blocked. Further investigation led me to discover it was my SonicWALL doing the blocking. Light goes on, I logon to the BES server, authenticate through the firewall and I'm getting my pictures on the BB.

Now I know the obvious solution is to let the BES server surf, but I would really prefer to get the images straight off of the web purely for the speed advantage. Is it possible to point the email out to the web for images vs. the BES server?

This thread really helped me thanks!

Oops double post!
