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

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???

Hi all,
I have just bought an HTC S620 and have been able to setup Activesync to an exchange server with no issues. I use alot of subfolders under my inbox to filter emails. I am receiving new emails no problem in my inbox and in the subfolders synched happily to my device.
I am only getting new email notifications on my home screen when emails arrive to my inbox. I would like to be able to see email notifications when they arrive in my subfolders.
I have a HTC S620
Running Windows Mobile Standard CE 05.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
Do I need to tweak a setting or acquire an app?
I had this problem too but how I got round was to delete all of the server filters and use the newer technique of smart folders. Im using OS X and Mail.app, but I think the new Outlook on windows should have smart folders too. With smart folders all of your mail is in the inbox but when you click on a smart folder its like a saved search so for example it can show all of the email from a certain sender.
This also makes it much easier to read email on the phone, because all of the email goes into the inbox you both have the advantage of seeing the new email notification, and you don't need to jump between folders to read it all, which can take many key presses.
You can of course still have regular mail folders for email that can't be automatically sorted.
By the way, general questions like this go in the general smartphone forum
Ah i thought i was beign device specific enough.
Exchange 2003 I am using is for work and they dont use/implement smart folders/
Anyone else have any ideas? i have the same problem, and my comany's mail server also doesnt support "smart folders".
TIA
Hi,
Our company recently moved to a new cloud based exchange environment. After setting up my Nexus (4.1.2 - latest BlackBean) towards the new Active Sync server Exchange sent me an automated mail saying I now could send and receive text messages in Outlook.
And, without doing anything my SMS's starting popping into my inbox as they arrieved on my phone. Sweet.
Problem is the other way. By pressing ctrl+shift+T I can write SMS in Outlook, send them and they end up in the sent items. However, they are not delieverd. They should be synced with my phone and then sent out via GSM.
Apparantly this works fine on my colleagues Galaxy SIII using the native e-mail client.
Has anyone succesfully managed to send and receive SMS via Outlook with a Nexus? If so, how did ya do that? :fingers-crossed:
Hi,
I've noticed an issue with sending from different email accounts using the 'Email' app (not Gmail).
I have two Exchange accounts set up on my Gnex, however if I used the combined view and start composing an email I am unable to change which account the email will be sent from. Likewise if I am in the inbox for 'Account 1' then I am not able to choose 'Account 2' as the from account without coming out of the mail, switching inbox and starting a new email.
This is also a problem when using the 'share via email' capability of some apps, as I can't choose which account will do the sending.
Does anyone else have this issue?
This is also the same on my Nexus 7, so it's not specific to the device. Both are running stock unrooted 4.2.1

Is it possible to sync text messages (sms) with microsoft exchange on hox ?
tnx
Pardon me, does Microsoft exchange store SMS? i don' think so.
Not sure about exchange, but there are apps which let you back up to your gmail account. Perhaps set that up and use some forwarding rules to get everything showing up on the exchange account?
Im using mightytext at the moment. Its working ok. But samsung s3 has sms sync bulit in by default, so i thought htc has it somewhere also. I guess that is not the case.
Can't say I've ever heard of a built-in sms sync in sense no. But as you say, plenty of apps to do the job for you.
I'd recommend airdroid over mightytext personally, I find the interface is far nicer. Plus it lets you manage more than just sms, which can be handy.
