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.

I have a PDA2K and am being driven mad by my inbox getting emptied.
I have my home pc outlook express set on leave a copy of messages on server.
When I receive an email on the imate it goes into my inbox - great
When I look at mail on my home pc - it also goes into my inbox - great
When I next do a send & receive on the imate it removes the email I have received on the pc from the imate inbox
Is this normal?
Can I keep my Imate inbox intact and delete only what I want to?
Apols if this has been covered before - I have searched but am going crazy
TIA
Paul
half the problem is sorted
I discovered that I was not leaving a copy of my messages on my email server because I had 2 outlook express accounts going for the same mail and only one was configured to leave a copy on the server
However I would still like to know if it is possible to keep my Imate inbox intact (& under my control) even when the messages are no longer on my pop3 server

Email being deleted
Is there not a tick box in Pocket Outlook on your iMate that chooses whether email is deleted on PC? In email account settings or something like that.....Don't have my 2i with me so not entirely sure, but think it right. :?
Still perplexed
Hi Shane
I am using the Pop3 mail but even when I tried Outlook I cannot find any option like this
Are there any other users who have an Inbox that does not de-populate
Thanks
Paul
On Server
what email provider do you use? I'm use gmail, and "leave downloaded email on server" option is on email setting. You should log on on your email account and go to setting, search for "leave downloaded email on server", thick on it. :wink:
Thanks
Yes I have set the server to leave a copy - however after around 3 months they will be deleted when my mailbox gets full. I presume they will then be deleted off my I-mate. What I want is a way to permantantly store them in my Inbox unless I manually delete them.
Paul
It sounds like exactly the same issue I have.
I have one PC where I download my emails to - which deletes off server once downloaded. This is fine.
Though on my XDA2i when I go to the POP3 account in messaging I can see all my emails - but when I attempt a send/receive, it deletes all previous emails from the inbox and donwloads any new if there are any.
It is like it is synchronizing the inboxes of what is on server. This should not be the case - I would expect this behaviour if it was setup to be IMAP , but not POP3.
Thanks
I agree nsm - it behaves differently to other Pop3 accounts - I wonder if there is a way to send the inbox to SD storage and protect it that way.
The whole lot went again today when I set up a pop3 a/c on a new pc at work and forgot to leave a copy of messages on server
The only (in-elegant) way round this I have found is to create a new folder on my Imate called inbox copy and manually copy the important messages over as they arrive.
Surely there must be an easier way
Paul
Me too
Hey,
I am facing the exact same problem as u guys... moment I download the entire mail... Even aster I check the leave a copy on the server checkbox. Is there a way to keep the mails?
In messages/inbox on your Blue Angel, tap accounts and then accounts again.
Tap the Storage tab at the bottom of the screen
make sure that delete items is set to manual. Otherwise the emails are deleted automatically when it sees that they are no longer on the server.
Also, try setting the email account to show all messages, and not just from the last x days (in advanced settings for each account)
It's usually these two that cause this.
have you tried...
setting "receive message headers only" on the handheld? This works fine for me...
rhedgehog - thanks - have made sure items are only deleted manually
quote "Also, try setting the email account to show all messages, and not just from the last x days (in advanced settings for each account) "
Is this setting on the pda

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?
I just got my new TouchPro 2 on Verizon today and I installed wireless sync to have my emails from work pushed to my phone (used this on my XV6800). The Outlook email was created correctly and I can access my inbox if I go to all accounts but I can't find out how to add a link to the inbox on the email tab in TouchFlo. The email tab will show that I have new emails but I need to go to the Windows Mobile accounts screen to get to it.
Is there any way to add this account to the email tab in TouchFlo?
You are not alone. Same problem here. Looking for the answer.
Do get the number of messages, but no access to them in TouchFlo?
Yes it will display the number of messages but there is no easy way to display them through the email tab. I have been clicking the inbox link in the notification message that I get when a new wireless sync message comes through. It works but it would be nice to be able to view the messages downloaded through wireless sync in the same way as my gmail account.
Ha. It took me 2 days to figure out why I had 1 message showing on that tab (damn "welcome" email in outlook inbox). I suppose that the whole email tab is of no use to you then, if you use outlook. Maybe a plugin for the home tab is possible?
Same issue
I am also having the issue of the Outlook email not showing on the TouchFlo email tab. I have looked everywhere to try and find where the configuration for this tab is stored, but no luck.
I did have it showing previously when ActiveSync was configured to sync with Outlook (in addition to Wireless Sync), but if I did not disable ActiveSync completely when connected to my computer it created duplicates, and kept creating them for as long as it was connected...Big mess. When I disabled syncing with the inbox on ActiveSync, it deleted all of my email (on the device, then wireless sync deleted everything in Outlook as well), and the Outlook email no longer showed in the TouchFlo email tab.
I am thinking that setting up a bogus ActiveSync partnership with a computer that has nothing in Outlook (and selecting the Inbox) might be a workaround, but it should not be this difficult.
NOTE: I tried removing everything and setting up a bogus partnership through ActiveSync, still did not put the Outlook email back in the TouchFlo Email tab. Just have to use Start > Messaging until someone figures this one out. Would be nice to have it working correctly.
Same issue here. I added second email account, not in wireless sync, but in the email setup, a POP3 account. Now the little envelope goes to that account and then on the bottom you can see the inbox and navigate to the outlook inbox which is your wireless sync. It gets you there with a couple of extra steps, but it isn't the same.
Additionally, you can't see your email for a particular contact, in your wireless sync email. That is a huge benefit of the HTC Touch Pro 2, in that it integrates emails, SMS messages, phone calls, facebook, all through the contacts. Hope someone finds a work around, this is very irritating. Love the phone, but without this, not sure if I will return it within the 30 days.
I'm having the same problem, does anybody have a solution for this?
Thanks!
Same problem
I've got the same issue. Anyone ever find a solution for this that doesn't involve a hard reset?
i configured my hotmail accounts (2 of them) on the stock email program that comes with the desire.
yet it doesn't show my old emails.
it only shows my new emails.
it's a bit annoying, because now i can only read my new emails, but not look back at the emails that were on the server before is configured my desire.
i double checked that the emails are kept on the server, and not removed by an other email client or something.
i had 20 emails on 1 of my account that were on there before i configured my desire.
i've recieved 2 emails on that account since then.
on my desire it only shows 2 messages (the new ones i just recieved).
anybody any idea how to get those old ones?
Increase the download option to All messages or to your preference in settings?
allready choose the option to download all in stead of the last 3 days... no avail...
Guys
I am using an Android phone. I have the stock email program and I have also K9 and Enhanced Email all running at the same time.
I have an Gmail account but don't use it for email or for nothing really dont trust the cloud/google.
My problem is all the email apps work great BUT when I open outlook then they all get removed form my phone. So basically the only emails I am left with are the send ones(in my phone). This happens with my POP and exchange accounts.
My question:
1) is there a Mail App that will make a copy of the email in my phone so when I open outlook they wont get sync and disappear?
2) If number 1 is no then is there a easy way to full your phone to keep the emails.
Thank you

A properly configured Exchange server usually doesn't allow the local device to retain the message data, it's all accessed real-time from the server. Its possible you have what I call a Half-Ass Exchange, which means you have a central address directory, but the IT department set up Outlook and Exchange to store messages locally on the PC rather than on the server. This would lead to what you are experiencing... Outlook takes all the messages off the server, leaving your phone with nothing to see when it connects. There's not a whole lot you can do about that unless your IT guys will move your email data to the Exchange server. Or maybe they have an IMAP access option. (See below)
With pop3 accounts... You have a similar problem, except there is no way to for two different devices to access the same data. The closest you can get would be to configure both devices to leave messages on the server after downloading them. Any emailed replies then can only be accessed from the device from which you sent them.
If you have the option, switch your pop3 accounts to IMAP. All user data is kept on a server (just like GMail), and any device that is connected to that account automatically syncs with the server, including access to deleted messages and sent messages sent from any other device.
All that being said... The stock email program kinda sucks. I would stick with the 3rd party apps like K9.
This is a new issue to me. I came from a PRE WEBOS and i did not have that problem. I believe the problem is in the way ANDROID OS handles emails. Basically all its changed is the device all else remained constant. I believe but not sure that if i was run all my mail thru gmail this will not be an issue. Its that true?
Thanks

I access my pop3 mail just fine using K9 (again, I don't like the stock email program). Downloaded messages remain on my phone after they've been downloaded by my Thunderbird installation on my PC.
My current company doesn't have an Exchange server, so I can't speak to that with direct knowledge... My lat experience with Exchange was about two years ago, so its behavior could certainly have changed! My current company has 10 locations, and they are content to use a 3rd party pop3 solution for email. As an IT man, that annoys me, but then, I don't write the checks!
If you haven't changed any settings in your Outlook, then I would look closer to your settings in the email programs. K9 specifically has a setting that you need to check in order to download the messages to your phone (as opposed to just reading them off the server). I don't remember if it came checked by default...
Check to see if your phone email programs are set to actually download entire messages from the server, or just the message headers. In K9, there is a specific setting under account

I don't see that option on my Enhanced Email program nor in the stock email program and I can not use K-9 because y does not support outlook 2010 exchange yet.
thank you
