Not sure if this is android or the email app problem. the sgs does not allow me to respond to meeting invites. I have to save to calendar manually. Anyone knows?
I have the same problem. Could not find a way to send an invite for an appointment, either. The email client needs some polishing ;-)
Here is my wishlist
1. Notification about incoming mails even if they are sorted into a subfolder (Server-side rules with my Exchange Server)
2. Improvement in how the folders are displayed. I've got subfolders of subfolders. All that is not presented very well. Maybe have separated views for folders and emails.
3. The invites issue solved as mentioned above.
4. I would like to have unread messages to be better distinguished from already read mails.
Maybe froyo is bringing all that to us
Have a good night!
Hu guys,
i do have the same issue here. No possibility to accept meeting request.
Works fine on HTC Desire ;(
I guess this is a general problem with the build in email client of the sgs. I read in other forums that will be solved by froyo.
In the meantime i am using Touchdown Exchange Client. This client looks great the push mail function works properly - the only issue is the low performance.

I believe XWJM1 comes with that features, but the same feature not available at XWJM5.
Hey guys I am not sure if this will help you but I too had the same problem I downloaded the app from the market called ICS-Bot and it reads the attachment coming in. I am not sure what email account you are using but what I did was have any emails going to my corporate or/pop3 account from my work and I set a rule up that will forward any email with the subject titled Meeting in it and have it forwarded to my gmail account and once it arrives it will be read as an .ics file where you can preview it and set it up on your calendar. The downside is that you cannot edit or send a response back but you can inout the event onto your calendar and set reminders, I know it is not what we want but at least you have the event in your calendar, hope this helps.

Is there a way to be notified of new messages when they hit folders other than the inbox. I have several developers that have server side rules that send error messages and other emails to certain folders but it does not tell them they have a new email.
My other question is how can I make it so that when you view your emails it only shows the subject and from lines. I would think this would be an easy hack but I can not find it.
Thanks
Tom
No! Havent seen anyone get new mail notificiations working for subfolders working.
Yeah, that would be great. I deleted all my rules for that same reason. No notifications.
This is the most annoying "feature" for Outlook (on whatever platform), only new email in the default Inbox folder will notified.
However, if you install MS Voice Command 1.6 it will read the email subject and senders name even if it arrives in (gets sortet do) a subfolder.
I've got a separate IMAP account on my phone (i.e. not outlook mail) - it audibly alerts when I get mail (checks every 30 mins) but no vibrate unfortunately However this is the main folder of the IMAP account, not sure if it would work for subfolders.
Any helpful programmer wanna have a go at this, it would be very useful
Thanks
I will look at the Voice Command software and also watch this post to see if there are any better ways to get this functionality.
On email viewing portion of my post there was an application that I came across in the last month that could do this but I can not find it anymore. If anyone knows how to do this hook me up.
Mine works too well
I have just the opposite going on. When a mail comes in that is processed by a rule, I ALWAYS get new mail notification, and sooner than my Outlook does.
Push mail is processed by Exchange before Outlook sees it. Therefore the inbox rules don't take effect on my phone until the next sync.
Your mileage may vary, but this has been my experience. That being said, I'll look into coding up a lightweight notification utility. Might be fun.
I'm just digging into the WM 6.0 SDK and there are some API hooks to do this.

Aren't rules, even if they're setup on Outlook, syncd with your exchange server? So your phone should drop each email into the right folder.

That's true, but I think the issue is that when it's moved to a folder and is not in the inbox, they don't get any notifications that a new message has arrived.
It seems that you are only notified when there is mail in the INBOX, but not anywhere else.
As far as notifications and filters go, Windows Mobile 5/6 is much more limited compared to the BlackBerry.
I'm going to have to do some searching to see if there's at least a 3rd party mail app (POP or IMAP) that has more features.
Rules processing
My rules, for reference, run on Outlook (client side).
Because my phone gets messages from Exchange before Outlook, I get notified, even if I've set a rule to move it out of the inbox and mark it as read.
Like I said earlier, I don't know how POP or IMAP clients react compared to Exchange, but I get my messages on my device before Outlook (client) does.
No rules run on the phone. Maybe we need to consider that as an add-on???

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
Bueller?... Bueller?... Anyone?... Bueller?
Shameless Bump
Is no one else experiencing this?
i successfully set up my hotmail in my X1, set the sync frequency to As Items Arrive, intending to activate push mail.
but now everytime i have new mail, i am not notified at all, not even showing of the numbers of new mails in the Today Screen.
i still need to manually go Menu > Send/Receive to update my mailbox.
any1 got solution or what application i need install?
thanks
yes: GMAIL lol
This would be a workaround, but it would work.
1. Create a Gmail account.
2. Forward your Hotmail to Gmail.
3. Set up your Gmail so that you can reply using your Hotmail account. (yeah you can do that...nifty eh?)
4. Go to your Outlook on your phone and set up "gmail-sync" as your push mail account to retrieve from. It's in beta right now but is working 100% perfectly on my Kaiser. (I'm in here because I'm getting a SEX1 in a couple days ) I frickin' LOVE IT - it pushes IMMEDIATELY as soon as the mail comes in. Instructions here:
http://www.google.com/mobile/products/sync.html#p=winmo
5. Now all your e-mails will be stored to your phone permanently too, instead of the inbox getting wiped every time you send receive, or whenever you have your timing set up for that.
6. Forget about Hotmail and start using Gmail lol. Just kidding...but if you set it up that way, you can still use your Hotmail completely, Gmail will be practically invisible to you. (Or is it the other way around? lol)
Seriously, Google's free push e-mail service is amaaazing. I am LOVING it.
ohhh pls tell me how to fwd mails
in aol /hotmail pls
Syncing frequency to As Items Arrive works perfectly for me.
I confirm that both hotmail and gmail works as a push mail on my XPERIA.
For hotmail, you can just use windows live connection setup and choose/set "as items arrive" and set the time as "always". For gmail, you can use the activesync feature on outlook mobile as have been told by deezy7 above.
Or else, you can use the feature from Emoze service.
hi all.
thanks for ur advices.
i did add my hotmail using the Windows Live program, did set to "as items arrive" and did set for "always"
but nothing ever appear in my pjone for new mail unless i do it manually using "send/receive"
i prefer to use my hotmail acc ley.
any1 pls help mi.
thanks

I just set this up and it works Thank u for an explanation
But I have a question. Now only one of my mail accounts deliver mail. Is there an option to set more e-mail accounts to use push mail feature ?
If so how to do it ?

If you would like to have a free account for push mail service you should try Emoze. I have been playing with Emoze and honestly it helps me much to get my XPERIA have numerous mail account which works as a push mail ....
Ok, I did some workaround, created another gmail account and forwarded all my accounts to that one, and I receiving only that one.
Maybe not the best solution , but I prefer not to use online services like mobipush and such where u leave them your user name and password for each account u have...
As an alternative to Emoze i use Seven Beta. It provides near realtime push on most types of account.

Hey icbicb, in response to your other question as well, my suggestion would have been to do what you already did, which is create another gmail acccount I also prefer not to use any other online services, and was very happy when Google came out with Gmail Sync, since I've already been using my gmail account for five years, and don't have to give out sensitive information to yet another company
To those here using other services, I'd suggest you give Gmail Sync a try. Deedee, I noticed you said that Seven Beta provides you with near realtime push. I've noticed with Gmail Sync, and having my Gmail open at the same time on my pc at work, that Gmail Sync pushes in actual realtime! I'll hear the notification on my phone first before my page refreshes to show me my new e-mail! Also, I should mention that I am using gmail plug-ins to autoupdate the screen when new e-mails come in, and the Gmail sync sends them to my phone simultaneously or even before my page refreshes, thus, I know that it is actual real-time. Just like blackberry's service! I'm in love with it right now
icbicb, I'm glad it's working out for you , loyjwe I hope you are able to give this a try...
it's a good solution, but if i transfert the mail from hotmail to gmail they will be of the hotmail box...
And it's a probleme for me...
do you have a solution for that
(excus me for my bad english)
Big advantage of Seven Beta is that it works for almost all POP3/IMAP email systems and it keeps all the accounts separate so that replies from your PPC keep the correct return address.
I have it working on Gmail x 2, Hotmail and a POP3 account and all four accounts are independant of each other.
I said near real time sync as i didn't want to claim real time in case it wasn't. I rarely use the web interface since starting Seven so haven't been in a position to check. As i tell the BB users at work if you have time to compare the two delivery times then maybe you don't need a BB.

Hi titeloo...bad english is okay lol, but, I don't really understand what you mean by "they will be of the hotmail box..." need further explanation!!
@Deedee, gmail does that also....so... for example, when you get mail forwarded to your gmail account, if it was originally sent to your hotmail account, when you reply on the phone, it will reply from the hotmail account. Gmail's set up pretty good that way. I believe right now though they have a limit on the number of accounts you can send mail from, not sure if it is 3 or 4. So it's pretty neat that Seven Beta keeps all accounts separate ...btw very nice avatar
Seven is only restricted by the number of accounts that can be set up in WM, think it's 8 in total, that includes your ActiveSync/Exchange and SMS accounts.
Thanks for the compliment. Always prefer to use real piccies for avatars where practical.
I am not sure if this is Desire specific but lets see.
Syncing with corporate Exchange and all is good.
But
When somebody sends me a meeting request, whilst I can open it and even accept or decline the invitation, I can't actually view the details of the meeting request itself.
I can see the contents of the email but the actual date, time, location etc are not visible.
Now I think this is a limitation of the mail client itself so the first question is if there is an alternate mail client out there? Is the one on the Desire a HTC one or the default Android one and if the former, how do I bring up the latter?
At this stage a work around is as good as a fix.
Thanks
I just picked up my Desire a couple days ago and all-in-all I'm pretty pleased with it! ..I just had some questions regarding the pre-installed mail client for the desire that some of you may be able to answer. (F.Y.I. the mail app is using my Gmail account by default)
1. Is there a way for the mail client to automatically sort mails once its received? For example, if I were to receive an email from my co-worker, the app would automatically sort that email to the "Work" Folder without me having to do it manually.
2. It seems when you open up the mail client, each mail is displayed by the sender's email address, not the sender's actual name. Even though I have the email address registered to their actual name in my phonebook, it still displays the emails by address and mail subject in small print below it. (On the other hand, the sender's name is displayed under the Messages App...But that only works for people communicating via SMS..)
Does anyone know how to fix these two issues. It would really make my life a little easier.
Big thanks in advanced!
No one knows how to fix this issue?
Hm, i don't have these issues. My desire is showing names just fine, even if they are not in my contact list...
Sorting problem...hm...i've done that with vip option in a mail app. Just add some contacts in vip section and all mail recieved from them will go in that section...

If you are using gmail, or some mail client that supports filtering. You could apply filters to specific people. That filter will automatically apply label to every mail from that contact (will put every mail from that contact(s) to specific folder)...
