Windows Phone 7 Email Attachment Handling

July 29, 2010 | By WenWP

Having the ability to download attachments directly from your device is something Windows Phone has been good at for years, and it seems WP7 will have an improved way of handling this. 1800PPC recently posted a video of the new OS running on some developers devices and Pocketnow brought to our attention the part of the video where the guy shows off the email attachments and it being downloaded (2:36 in below Video).

Now to me this is very important considering I get over 100+ emails a week with attachments on most of them (thanks to Doug Simmons ) and I would love to see all those images that he sends me right from my device. Android and iPhone seem to have been monitored while MS was developing their our client for handling the emails, but at least we have and attractive but still useful way to handle our email attachments.

P.S I love how the un-optimized systems works “as smooth as butter”, that makes me happy that I am sticking with my HD2 till some new WP7 device comes out rather than buy the Samsung Vibrant.

i note that starting at around 10:29, you can see that the web browser is quite speedy, contradicting that recent nonsensical video comparing developer WP7 to iphone browser.

I really like the status messages that appear at the top of the screen when he opens Outlook. It's really useful to know whether your email is up to date and it's well presented. If MS can get little things like that right then they may be on to a winner.

I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but we have had problems with our windows7 phone in our corporate environement. Any time an attachement larger than say 100k is received on an email, the syncing hangs. I dont see anywhere in the configuration of windows7 phone/outlook where you can limit or dis-allow attachments. On my droid, I can tell it to allow only so big.. where is this setting on the windows7 phone.. or do I need to purchase a 3rd party email app for the phone?
