I've looked around and can't find an answer to this, It might sound stupid and whatnot but I'm new to smart phones. I have my e-mail set up fine on my phone, I use Comcast if that matters. Anyways, I was wondering if there's a way to sync the e-mails from outlook onto the comcast account on my phone. Everytime I sync it just goes straight to the Outlook E-mail which means I have the messages I sent on my phone in my comcast account and the messages from my laptop in the Outlook account.
not sure on bump rules around here, but anyone know of a solution? figured it was okay to bump was 12 hours ;/
Can you describe your setup and how you are using it in a little more detail ?
I am using Outlook ( w/exchange ) and my ISP email account on my phone so I may be able to help if I understand your setup better.
I'm using outlook as my regular e-mail program on my computer. Using it with comcast.
I have it set up perfect on my phone, I made a new account and everything works I can send + receive. There's not necessarily a problem persay, but more or less it's the fact that I send e-mail's on my phone as well as my computer. I have it syncing perfect, but my question was, can I make it so I can send/receive e-mails with the Outlook E-Mail account on my phone? That way I can delete my Comcast account via my phone. Cause right now I have
1. Text Messages
2. Outlook E-mail
3. Comcast
4. MM messages
5. New Account
I don't even have to necessarily use the outlook on my phone, but is there a way I can sync the outlook on my ccomputer with the comcast account on my phone?
Like I was trying to say in my first post, for example; I was sending e-mails on my phone to birdbreeders in search of a bird on my comcast account. I came home and sent a couple on my computer, then I synced my phone. I synced the sent e-mails from my computer into the Outlook E-mail account on my phone, when I want it to the comcast. Now if I want to review the e-mails I sent I have to look at some on the comcast account and some on the Outlook account. It's more or less just a hassle that I'm wondering if any registry edits or 3rd party programs can solve.
Pretty much to some it up, I want to sync my computer with a accountn on my phone not to the Outlook account
(BTW maybe there's a way to set up the outlook account on the phone to use my comcast e-mail, but I don't have t-mobile so when I try to set up the e-mail it doesn't let me). If I flash it to the HTC rom will it allow me to set up the outlook e-mail to any account I want?
One more thing, would I be gaining anything flashing to the HTC rom? I use Cingular and live in the USA if that matters.
As far as I know, Outlook on the phone cannot send or receive emails. It can only 'sync' with Outlook on a computer to send and receive or direct to an exchange server.
The other account you set up (comcast) can send and receive emails from the phone directly using GPRS or Wifi or your computer's Internet connection (via usb or bluetooth)
As such, the two are separate and cannot be combined even though you are basically using both with the same email service.
To use the phone as you describe (everthing under Outlook) you would have to restrict yourself to sending emails via the phone Outlook account only but they would not actually go anywhere until you synced with your computer and did a send on desktop Outlook !
Typically people use Outlook to duplicate there desktop Outlook on ther phone or like me, connect directly to a corporate exchange server via GPRS. Other accounts are setup (like your comcast) for personal email. I use my personal ISP email account on the phone to only preview incoming emails (headers only) before using my laptop to actually get them off the ISP email server. Same with Hotmail on my phone.
Hope this helps.

Let me add a couple of my comment to the above:
The Outlook on your phone is for you to sync with your Desktop or Notebook Outlook with contents you could select including the Contact, Calendar, Task and Mobile Favourite.
You may setup using New Account and select whatever provider or pop3/imap account. This account could be identical to your Desktop/Notebook account.
When new mail comes in, both your phone's email (the one you setup using New Account) and Desktop/Notebook Outlook will have a copy of that email.
The copy on your phone will remove from your phone once you sync it with your Desktop/Notebook Outlook. You may also send email from your phone using the New Account which you setup but you should c.c. or b.c.c. yourself a copy of the sent mail so your desktop/notebook could retain a copy of mail you have sent.
The advantage to use this is that I could filter out all junk/spam mail before my desktop/notebook outlook retrieve the mail.
When new mail arrive on your phone, if they are junk/spam, you could delete them from your Inbox, then goes to Delete Items folder and Menu > 7 to clear all the Delete Items from the folder. The next time your phone retrieve email from the server, it will remove them from the server.
You should set the retrieve interval to either 15 or 30 minutes. Or you may manually connect to your server to remove those junk/spam mail from your phone.
Hope the above help.
Hi there, is there anyway to remove the outlook account?
When sending an email from the phone via our Exchange server the email will stay in drafts if I have my Outlook application open. If I close Outlook and send another email from the phone it sends just fine.
The same problem affects iPhone users. It did not cause a problem for me on my Diamond Touch Pro phone which was Windows Mobile.
Any ideas?

So I set up my email on the TP2 and everything works ok except for the fact that I have to click on Send and Receive to retrieve my email! I have another Gmail account that downloads every 5min but the Exchange account does not have that option and the mail is not being pushed to my TP2. Any ideas? or is there a way to set the MS exchange account to also auto dl every 5 min??
oh forgot to mention that my iphone has no issues with the mail being pushed to it

If you are having your device connect every 5 minutes, this is not push e-mail. This is called pull e-mail. Push is when the server side sends the mail to the device. Pull is when the device connects, checks and grabs new mail. Pull is more resource intensive and drains the battery much faster as a result. Push isn't determined by the device you are using, but by the service you connect to. If your exchange account isn't supporting push, then the device won't either.
As for your iPhone doing push, it isn't the same. Apple maintains an IMAP connection to the mail account for you on their servers and push new mail to you when they see it.
This is a VERY simplified explanation of what actually happens, but hopefully you understand. An easy alternative to having a similar push experience to your iPhone is to use SEVEN. It works in the same manner I described. They check your e-mail for you, and push it to your device when new mail arrives.

I have set my hotmail to sync 'as it arrives' between 9am and 9pm. However I have tested this by sending email to the account and its not coming through to the phone, and its 10 minutes since it was sent. Its arrived on my PC via outlook which is scheduled to collect mail every 10 minutes I think.
Has anyone got push Hotmail working reliably?
Hello,
Randomly and habitually in the middle of the night, my S3 download the same message from the POP3 server again and again.
Example : I'll open the message, mark as read, and then next night the app checks for new e-mail, the message is back again as if I'd never opened it in the first place.I know, i can choose the option delete from server, but I dont want this. My desktop is in charge to delete from the server, not my phone or my tablet
Is it possible for my S3 to act like the iPhone mail app. In others words, download the mail only one time and leave a copy on the server.
Thank for your help....
Same problem here - Tried K9 but it just wasnt for me. Not seeing much else out there
Why does anyone even use POP these days? It's a terrible protocol for managing your email. I'm in the email business and POP users always seem to have issues with email clients and/or losing emails. Use IMAP or switch to hosted exchange
