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?
Just wondering who out there uses windows live email via manila? I find it essential, however I have an issue with it, that I'm hoping one of you out there may have a workaround for.
I have several email addresses that I have accumulated over the years, which I redirect to my live account. As I have so much mail coming to my live account I like to use filters, so that as mail arrives it is sorted into organised folders. The problem is that when mail is pushed to my phone, it's only the non organised items in my inbox that trigger the manila tabs new mail bubble, or show up on the email tab of my contacts. This means that if a friend who I have a folder for in my live account, sends me an email. I will not know about it unless I randomly check the email tab and then select all emails. I will also not be able to have an email conversation with that person via the newly improved manila contacts tab
While I think of it, does anyone know how to change the from address, when sending email from their handset? I have it set correctly on the windows live site but it defaults to the @live.com address when sent from my phone.
Thanks in advance for any advice on this matter

Shameless Bump
Is no one else experiencing this?
Anyone know how to make this possible:
I want to be able to map an address from an outlook appointment using google maps (or the internet, or some other program). Basically I want "map this address" integrated into outlook appointments.
Can this be done?
See post 3 for update
If i create appointments on the phone and save them, they are put in outlook out box and not sent. I ave gmail imap setup and cant seem to get it to take over for the calendar. Current rom in sig

I have a really really awesome answer for you.
Don't setup your email anymore, just go here:
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138636
This will setup an Exchange-like server and will enable you to do that. At least I am pretty sure that isn't what you are already doing, because this will setup the email and sync Calendar, Contacts and Email with PUSH. Let me know if you need any help.
I dont think you understood the problem, but thanks for reading and suggesting something.
Part of the issue is resolved. We can now add to the calendar and it sends the email to those attendee's we add to that event, thru our gmail accounts. How i fixed that was going into the office folder and using the calendar link in there. In menu/tool/options, appointments page, there is a "send meeting requests via: (email account)". I just changed it from outlook email to our gmail account. So now it sends them out with the gmail account rather than sitting in the outlook outbox.
THE NEXT ISSUE is that when anyone sends you a meeting request, from outlook(pc) OR from the phones calendar thru gmail, if you recieve that request on the phone, there are no buttons to "accept/tentative/decline/propose new time", like there is in outlook pc. It just comes in as a regular email that looks very useless. The only way to accept or decline is to read the email in outlook on the pc where you have buttons "accept/tentative/decline/propose new time".

Actually, I did understand the issue.
You aren't setting the email up correctly. If it is showing up as Gmail, and not Outlook it isn't setup for Exchange. You need to remove that account and follow my link to setup Exchange features...
Im not following you on this exchange stuff. What does an exchange have to do with poutlook not showing an email with the same options as outlook on the pc?
ok i just set this up on phone. active sync on phone says attention required.
result: the config on your exchange server prevents you from sync'ing. please contact your serv admin.
BUT getting and sending email is working right. Syncing is working for email.
Creating a calendar event and adding attenees is not working at all now. The emails never go out. Sending an event to myself from my wifes phone somes into the phone the (no good). But comes into my outlook pc correctly
Setting up sync has its own issues. I sent an event from my phone to my wifes phone. Oh joy, i get an html page i can accept with on her imap email.
I accepted it on the wifes phone and it NEVER went onto her calendar on the phone. Which leads me to beleive she must have sync setup too. What a joke!!!!!
It would be so much easier if google mail would include the MS office option buttons for reading and responding to event emails.
Not only that, but now i have to create events either on the phone, or in google cal. I can not setup events in outlook and have them all sync UNLESS i pay and use google apps.
Google has a big problem with MS. If i send an event to a google account, if i read that event email in gmail, its also striped of any way to open or respond.
The way this works best if WANTING to use gmail and outlook, while still wanting to use outlook for events cal, is to only reply, respond or accept events within outlook on the pc.
/joke
You have to ONLY select Contacts, Calendar and Mail. Try that and let me know if you still get that Att Required... Also, if all else fails I can give you my email and we can test it that way.
