I'm looking for a tool to synchronize my IMAP4 folders on a specific time (scheduled and repeating each xx hours). I'm not looking for an alternative e-mail client (like WebISmail which is capable of rectrieving mail every x minutes) but a tool that synchronizes the standard inbox and I can use the WM messaging app.
Extra complexity:
- I must be possible to configure it to only synchronize e-mail within working hours for example every 30 minutes
- I should retrieve e-mail only when Wifi or ActiveSync connection is available (and not in case of GSM/GPRS)
Do you have any idea. I have not found anything up until now.

It's great that googlesync allows true push email to the HD, but we're still restricted by WM 6.x to only one ActiveSync account.
But it occurred to em that we could use this to create pseudo multiple accounts. My idea is as follows:
Set up a GMAIL account.
Set up Activesync so that the new GMAIL account syncs with your Windows Mobile phone. It only needs to pull mail from "1 day" and with a 2Kb size limit as we are actually only interetsed in the header, not the mail itself.
Forward all incoming mail from other accounts at any provider to the new GMAIL account so they are pushed to the phone. Use the GMAIL "[email protected]" to set "marker" to identify the account that the original mail came from
Set up ordinary IMAP (or POP) accounts on the phone with the names of "marker". Set these accounts to "manually" retrieve mail i.e. no schedule.
Have an app on the phone that reads the incoming "pushed" mail from the activesync account, looks at the "marker" and uses that to trigger a "get mail" call for the appropriate account on the 'phone
Delete the original Activesynced email.
And just like that, every time a mail comes into any of the accounts, they are synced to the phone which then pulls them into the "correct" account from whence they can be replied etc. with all the correct email addresses.
Now I know that for you in the development world, this is an easy task. For me, I have a problem writing Step 5 above as I am not a Windows Mobile coder. Yes I could learn and in the spirit of XDA I probably should - but is there anyone else out there who would like to give this a go?
I'm posting a poll too so that potential developers can see if there's demand for this. Please vote if you think it would be a beneficial app.
Hello,
I'm a blackstone owner and I use Outlook on my mobile, outlook on my laptop and Internet Gmail box elsewhere to check and manage my emails stacked in a Gmail box. Around 2000 emails feature in this email box (more if you sum the #folders).
I would really appreciate to have all my emails synchronized (3G or WIFI) in my phone as it is on my laptop. This could for example allow me to read them even if I am not connected to 3G or WIFI.
It works fine on my laptop using Iap protocole.
But on the mobile,
I have tried MSexchange (activesync) but it do not :
push email in real time,
send the attachment,
apply the modification performed on the mobile on the Gmail box on the Internet (move an email to another folder for instance),
Understand the calendars,
And
stop synchronizing when around 750 emails are stacked in the mobile.
I also have tried Imap but when around 800 emails are stacked in the mobile, I cannot receive any other email (the synchro is frozen/never end)
Is there any limitation? any tips to change the limit? Do someone have a solution for me?
I don't know if there is a limitation, but my Exchange Server pushes the mails of the last seven days to my Touch HD. Sometimes >1000 mails/week are pushed without any problems. You have to checkmark the attachment setting if attachements should be saved as well. Subfolders won't be synced unless you checkmark them seperately.
I use only one calendar and all of it's elements are synced correctly.
OK, so I know that the stock Android and HTC mail apps both support IMAP (in a limited fashion), but they (and every other third-party client I've tried to use) lack ALL of the features below that are commonplace on a "full" desktop client that IMO is essential to use e-mail effectively:
K-9 is the only one that has most of the features outlined below so I am using it for the time being, but it lacks an online search facility which is a must for me to find old messages whilst I have a connection.
True offline support (read, search and reply to "already-synchronised" mail offline - draft facility to save for sending later)
Copy sent items to an IMAP folder automatically - important so that all sent messages appear in the same IMAP folder no matter if they've been sent from the desktop or phone.
Multiple selectable IMAP folder polling (I may have server-side rules that deliver mail to other folders apart from the root inbox)
...and most importantly:
Online server-side search (similar to the GMail app) - it's no good being able to simply search synched mail - I only sync the last 25 messages in each folder to keep polling times low
Is there any client that satisfies all of the above?
The GMail app is the only one I think that does all of these (albeit that it's not IMAP), but I have a work IMAP account that I want to interact with directly without forwarding etc. to another GMail account etc.
If there isn't one out now I doubt you'll find one
Hi all,
I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 with the default Email client.
I have various email accounts, but want to set the syncing options (times, peak, off-peak) separately, but I seem to be unable to do this. The only one which is giving me options to set the syncing is the Hotmail one, which allows me to set separate peak and off-peak syncing, the rest only allow me to set syncing intervals.
My issue is that I have some accounts for which I need emails to come through 24 hours a day, and others that I only want during normal office hours, but (apart from the Hotmail account) I cannot set this up individually.
On my previous HTC I was able to set this up separately for each account, I assumed it was a standard Android Email app, but I guess I must have been wrong!
My question is, have I missed something in the settings?
If it's not possible, is there an email app that I can download that will allow individual sync settings per account?
Thanks in advance!
Hey guys....
Not sure if its posted anywhere else, I had a check and can't find out what I am after...
Anyways, I have a Rogers/AT&T S3 that I want to change the email and contact sync interval on. Instead of it checking every 15 minutes, I only want it to check let's say... every 2 hours or so. Is there an option somewhere that I can change that on? Maybe an app or something to help out with that?
I've turned my sync off altogether to save battery and I keep forgetting to check my emails... I'm just wondering if there's an in between setting...
Hi! It depends on what type of mail account you are using.
Gmail (Google accounts) and enterprise email (Microsoft Echange ActiveSync accounts) are pushed to your phone. So you don't have (and cannot) change the update frequency of these accounts: when a change occurs in the mail server -- a new mail arrives, a new contact is created, a new appointment gets added to your agenda... --, the mail server sends the update to your phone. It's not the phone who initiate the update: it's the mail server.
If you use POP or IMAP (Email accounts) to retrieve your mails, you can control the sync frequency. Contrary to a pushed protocol as described above, POP and IMAP are pulled mail protocols -- means: the phone has to initiate the sync process. It's the phone who contact the mail server to check if there are updates to download.
You can select the sync interval when you first add the Email account. To change the sync frequency for an already existing Email account:
Go to Settings and, under Accounts, select your Email account you want to modify;
Next, click on Settings to change the settings for this account;
Again, select your Email account in the list;
Scroll the settings and select Sync schedule;
You can now configure when should your emails for this account be synced. You can configure Peak schedule and Off-peak schedule to auto-sync between 15 min to once a day.
