Is there anyway to set your email accounts to be more customizable? Like set it so it only downloads a certain number or like todays emails?

It's great that googlesync allows true push email to the HD, but we're still restricted by WM 6.x to only one ActiveSync account.
But it occurred to em that we could use this to create pseudo multiple accounts. My idea is as follows:
Set up a GMAIL account.
Set up Activesync so that the new GMAIL account syncs with your Windows Mobile phone. It only needs to pull mail from "1 day" and with a 2Kb size limit as we are actually only interetsed in the header, not the mail itself.
Forward all incoming mail from other accounts at any provider to the new GMAIL account so they are pushed to the phone. Use the GMAIL "[email protected]" to set "marker" to identify the account that the original mail came from
Set up ordinary IMAP (or POP) accounts on the phone with the names of "marker". Set these accounts to "manually" retrieve mail i.e. no schedule.
Have an app on the phone that reads the incoming "pushed" mail from the activesync account, looks at the "marker" and uses that to trigger a "get mail" call for the appropriate account on the 'phone
Delete the original Activesynced email.
And just like that, every time a mail comes into any of the accounts, they are synced to the phone which then pulls them into the "correct" account from whence they can be replied etc. with all the correct email addresses.
Now I know that for you in the development world, this is an easy task. For me, I have a problem writing Step 5 above as I am not a Windows Mobile coder. Yes I could learn and in the spirit of XDA I probably should - but is there anyone else out there who would like to give this a go?
I'm posting a poll too so that potential developers can see if there's demand for this. Please vote if you think it would be a beneficial app.
so i have multiple emails. One is google but the other 2 are POP/IMAP accounts for work/school. in wp7 and iOS, there are options for a unified inbox (linked account in wp7) that displays all of your emails together. on my old android phone, i had to use a separate application to view my POP/IMAP accounts, and then switch back over into gmail to view my gmail stuff.
is there a unified/linked inbox in android 4.0? if so, how does it work and can someone post some photos?
and before anyone says "just add your IMAP account into gmail", i'm well aware of this function but sometimes its better to leave your work/school and private emails separate.
"sometimes its better to leave your work/school and private emails separate"
Then just use the Gmail app for your personal email and the Email app for the other accounts.
To answer your question, no I don't believe there is a unified inbox in ICS.
Sadly, that is why so many opt for 3rd party mail clients, I want a single inbox to manage my mail.
You could connect to your gmail account over imap, which would give you a unified inbox. It's just not quote as polished as the dedicated gmail client.
Hi all,
I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 with the default Email client.
I have various email accounts, but want to set the syncing options (times, peak, off-peak) separately, but I seem to be unable to do this. The only one which is giving me options to set the syncing is the Hotmail one, which allows me to set separate peak and off-peak syncing, the rest only allow me to set syncing intervals.
My issue is that I have some accounts for which I need emails to come through 24 hours a day, and others that I only want during normal office hours, but (apart from the Hotmail account) I cannot set this up individually.
On my previous HTC I was able to set this up separately for each account, I assumed it was a standard Android Email app, but I guess I must have been wrong!
My question is, have I missed something in the settings?
If it's not possible, is there an email app that I can download that will allow individual sync settings per account?
Thanks in advance!
I have a google apps email id from work. When i configure this id using the Corporate account (Exchange) option in accounts and sync (not as the GMail option), all messages and contacts get synced properly. But when i open any email i just get to see the sender the address list and the email subject. The actual email text in the mail does not get displayed.
Anyone faced this issue and got a way around it. I know i can configure the GMail app for this mail id, but wanted to make sure the native email app works since i have a couple of gmail ids already configured in the GMail app and do not want to mix this with other id's and miss my work mails.
no one with a reply ??
Using Nova Launcher Prime 4.1.0, with Tesla Unread for 4.0.1. I have several email accounts on the phone, one an exchange account, a Gmail and a POP account. I have in the past set up the exchange account and the Gmail account to display the unread counts properly. However, I recently added the POP account, and can not for the life of me figure out how to add the email account to my desktop with the unread count. Every time I add the unread count widget to the screen, it default to the gmail account, and displays that accounts unread count. Is there a way to set the widget to default to the POP account?
Thanks
Same problem here, but with only 2 accounts (Exchange and Gmail).
Could you tell me how you did that in the past?
