Copy text from the mail.

Hello,

 

I have tried to select and hold a word but the drag to select the text does not appear at all.  If I am on a website it works great.  Anyone knows if this is a problem or a setting?

 

Thank you,

Hi NOKE700,

 

 

What's your phone model? This is for us to be able to check on the settings and capabilities of the phone.

Re: Copy text from the mail.

NOKE700 is using an N9 and whereas copy/paste applies to browser at least for IMAP account this works for me: open message, select move from options and move the message to drafts. open drafts folder, open message, use copy, cancel editing, move message back to previous folder and use copied text wherever you like.

If I've helped in any way, a click upon the white kudos star would always be appreciated.

Re: Copy text from the mail.

@tiny_chef, I am using an N9 1.3.

@scoobyman, thanks fir getting back to me. That worked fine thanks so much for that. But is there a way to do this without having to move the email to the draft folder? I have two emails exchange for work and outlook for personal use.

It works on exchange, but there is no option to move emails when using outloom.

Thank you both for all your help!

Re: Copy text from the mail.

For Outlook you can open the mail on your laptop (MS Outlook), Click forward but do not forward, then move the mail to drafts. Go to N9, add drafts to your favorite folders, sync, open the mail on your N9 under draft folder. Copy and paste whatever content you like.

 

If you want to copy SMS look out for:http://store.ovi.com/content/269786
