Looking for a way to update/change the unread count of email when I get email to a subfolder (folder other than Inbox).
As most are aware, limitations of PocketOutlook (and Outlook) are such that if you have a filter/rule setup to move email to a subfolder on-arrival, it will not prompt you that you have new email. It just sets there in the subfolder till you manually look at the subfolder. Thus if you use ActiveSync and Push for email on Exchange, you get the same issues that you get with the desktop version on the Pocket version.
There is this software: http://www.software.magicashop.ro/pda_pocket_checkmail.asp
that seems be do some of what I am looking for but needs to go a couple steps further (needs to update the registry UNREAD count for total unread email for Inbox AND subfolder).
Thanks.

Body85,
for my knowledge there is nothing that can solve your problem. I struggle with same issue and I only overcome it with changing my exchange rules.
Currently all my mails arriving in my inbox but after reading (or marked as read) the mail will be then moved to relevant folder that I set by the rule generation.
You can try the following:
Tasks are treated as a subfolder of email synchronization. If you're trying
to explicitly enable/disable syncing of tasks through client provisioning
xml, then you enabled/disable the Tasks folder under the FolderHierarchy
characteristic in the Sync CSP.
For documentation of the sync csp, see
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/aa455976.aspx
For an example of using the FolderHierarchy subcharacteristic, see
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/aa456216.aspx and replace
"UrgentMail" or "SavedStuff" with "Tasks". Note that, if the device is not
already enabled for email synchronization, the FolderHierarchy
subcharacteristic will do nothing - process a provisioning document that
enables that sync first before attempting to use FolderHierarchy.
Found this on the internet. Not sure if it will work.
I know this has been asked several times, but I never seen a conclusive answer (and maybe that is the answer in and of itself):
When you use IMAP with Outlook Mobile (this is a standard internet IMAP account, not exchange), your unread message count and your new email notification is only for your Inbox main folder. Subfolders do not get counted, and what is more frustrating is that there is new notification. I used to have a Nokia E71 and used Seven email client on that and it also did not normally show the total unread in all folders, but it did notify me when an email came in in a subfolder, and so I'd check my box and if there was nothing, then I would check my subfolders for new mail.
I have also heard people say this is an Outlook overall problem, including desktop versions. I'd have to disagree. Sure, the unread count at the top level of the account is only going to show the unread in the Inbox, but I have been able to tell Outlook to alert me whenever a new message comes in regardless of its folder. But I haven't found a way to do that in Outlook Mobile.
Is there a registry edit that can help me? If not, has anyone found that System Seven works on WM 6.5 so as to alert you whenever a new mail is downloaded, regardless of folder? When I tried it, it didn't seem like it.
Any clues appreciated.
Same question here on wm 6.5. for 6.1 there is a plugin available "Message notify " from blackmon labs which does the task. Anyone got a solution on 6.5 ?
My desire gets all my mails, contacts and calenderitems from a MS Exchange Server. So i have the same data on my phone as in my Outlook.
With Outlook i created some rules, so that the exchange moves some mails to subfolders of Inbox.
But i only get a notification if a new mail is stored directly in the Inbox and i have to open each subfolder on the phone to check for new mails.
Is there a way to get a new mail notification on the phone after the exchange moved a mail directly into a subfolder?
Or is there a way to create a link directly to a mail subfolder?
By opening the buildin mail app (the letter symbol with the number of unread messages in the inbox on it) i am always in the inbox and have to open the subfolder manually.
For Exchange mail accounts, I'm assuming you can select which folders you want to sync (have pushed to the phone) - correct?
And for multiple accounts, can you set different notification (vibrate, sound) types per account?
Go to the folders of the Exchange Account and show all folders. You will then be presented your folders. Select the folder you want to sync and tap on that folder. It will then sync and bring it up one level and you will see that folder below your main inbox.
You can't set custom ring tones to each account.
1. yes (at first only inbox will, but you can view the folder and say syncronise this folder)
2. no, not at present
My company just migrated me to Exchange last night. I'm able to sync my in box and the folders I want to sync but I have rules on Exchange that move some emails into certain folders. Once this happens I'm not getting notified that I have a new email from that person who the rule is set for.
Any suggestions?
It doesn't support alerting when items appear in subfolders of the inbox. A workaround would be to turn those rules off so messages arrive in your inbox. Then run the rules manually periodically to clean it up.
Does it at least update the Hotmail/Outlook Live Tile when a new mail comes to the sub-folder?
Without any sort of notification to the user that a message is there, it's pretty damn useless to use. Mind as well just use POP3 or IMAP on a 30 minute poll or something instead...

No it doesn't update the tile, you can sync the sub folders but if you don't select all folders to see if there is anything new there.
The only work around I could find was to create a rule to just move a copy to the folder and leave the original in the inbox. It is a terrible solution but at least it kind of works.
I don't think this is a WP7 issue since a co-worker has an iPhone and he has the same issue.
I use IMAP email client with any different folders and when i have a new message in a folder (not inbox folder) i can't get any email notifications.
I try any different email client (stock, k9, profimail) but i haven't found a way to get email notifications.
I can set up the different email folder for synchronization but i haven't got any notifications when the message arrive.
Anyone can help me?
