does anyone know of a way to get POP3 email messages copied or imported from Android mail client (Verizon HTC One m8) , to PC Outlook ?
I've hunted and can not find a solution that is satisfactory.
Forwarding all emails to self isnt the solution I would like.
Customer/friend lost his desktop hard drive and his phone has a reasonable stash of mails, 1 years worth, but his mail provider only goes back one month on the server side.
Thanks in advance if anyone knows a way. Iv'e googled it hard.

Hi,
Im havin problems syncing my hotmail account through the windows live program - it syncs contacts and the inbox perfectly and get all the info - but it does not sync all my other folders.
I like to put my emails into different folder (e.g. University, Ebay, Play.com, Family etc etc) so I keep myself organised. The thing is if I want a file that a friend sent me two weeks ago and I put it in the University folder I cannot get to it and would have to transfer it before hand from my pc to my inbox. (ie the mails inside my other folder are not being synced)
Is there any way I can solve this? Maybe some setting I missed or an update to WMLive that fixes this?
Thanks to anyone for his help

Hi,
I'm facing the same problem but haven't found a solution yet... :'(
In you inbox screen tap menu in the bottom right and then extra. There should be an option manage folders i think. I dont know exactly because my phone is not english. It is the second option in the extra menu. You can just check the boxes of the folders you want synchronized.
yes its called manage folders
thanks a lot
also, not sure if it interests you or if it even answers the issue but hotmail's mobile website looks fantastic on the Opera browser...
My main email is on AOL and I've just ditched the buggy email client for AOL's wap portal...
give it a try!
Hello all
I'm wondering if there is any way to be able to view the contents of yahoo email folders in outlook. as far as i can tell the only thing i can see is my general inbox.
So far the only solution i have found is to use yahoo Go! but this does not display the conents of my email on my home screen. in addition i have to load the program ever time i want to check my work folder, as well as manually connect. its very cumbersome and the software is bloated with graphics and crap i just dont want to see or use.
In reality, the only thing i want to see is the contents of my folder labeled "work" the rest of my email i will gladly deal with when i am at a computer. idealy, i would like outlook, or a whatever program it is to display the contents of just my "work" folder on my homescreen. if anyone can point me in the right direction here it would be greatly appreciated.
oh also ive heard that google is much better for mobile email. my yahoo account is 15 years old, so i cant give it up, but im considering trying to rig things up so that all of my work email forwards to a gmail account so that i cant then get it displayed on my homescreen.
thanks again guys
ok, this may or may not help. are you using pop3 to connect to yahoo? if so, i think that's your problem. try connection with imap. you should be able to find the connection info on the yahoo site. you may have to do some funny business to make it not automaticly pick up the pop3 settings. i had to for my gmail account. they may actually have a winmobile 6+ tutorial (gmail did). but i know that imap supports folders.
Hey ,
Yahoo gives u pop and imap only if u have a paid account ,, not to free accounts
wow, how restricting. i'm glad i dropped them 5yrs ago for gmail.
thanks for the help. yahoo are real bastards. still trying to ride along on a restrictive model that was good enough back in 1995, but is a joke with the likes of competitors like gmail in this day and age. i too wish i could just dump the damn yahoo account, but ive had this email address for about 15 years, and i also use the thing for work, so it really wont cut it. can anyone tell me if some sort of forwarding to gmail of just my work contacts' email could resolve my problem? if so, is there any special trick i need to be doing?

Sorry, but forwarding is like POP/IMAP in Yahoo. Only available on the paid "Yahoo Mail Plus" accounts. I've switched 95% over to gmail, but check the Yahoo free account once a week.

I think there is a difference between .com & .co.uk or it's that my account is donkey years old as have forwarding on free accounts
Well, gmail or Yahoo, or whatever other, there is no way to keep the email folders and related messages in the Android phone memory and use them offline like in the PC Outlook! That's really missing as one can't consult messages if out of wireless connection range!!!
That's the application Android is missing!
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

Hello,
I've upgraded my Desire to LeeDroid 1.8. I went from the branded HTC 2.1 ROM to the LeeDroid. After that my POP3 mails won't stay on the phone if I download the mails with my computer.
Before I was able to save a copy of the mails on the phone an deleting it after 3 days. Now my mails instantly disappear after syncing my POP3 account with a email client like Thunderbird. That's annoying. I searched for a workaround but I can't find one.
Any hints for me?
Well, that sound OK for me ... just tell Thunderbird to leave the mails on the server for 5 days also. Otherwise you won´t be able to get them with your phone, and mails you have allready downloaded with you phone are deleted, because the phone thinks, you deleted them elsewhere. Thats the sense of syncing ...
Otherwise you could use IMAP instead of POP3. In this case, your mails stay allways on the server ... kind of backup then.
Bug or feature?
Well, before the update the phones stores copies of the mails and saved them for 3 days! That was great, because the important mails stand on the phone and get deleted after a short time.
It's annoying because in 2.1 the mails where copies and stayed on the phone. Have I really switch to IMAP? I don't want to connect all my mails with google.
I think, you have to share at least 3 days of you mails with google ...
You don´t need to use IMAP, but you have to setup thunderbird to leave the last 3 day´s emails on you pop server.
I can confirm the same behaviour with the stock froyo update.
Previously on the Telstra branded 2.1, Emails would stay on the phone even after downloading the emails onto my PC which would remove them from the server.
Since the upgrade, the next sync would empty the inbox on the phone which matches the now empty server. This matches what I have seen previously on Win Mobile.
On 2.1, the emails would stay in the phones inbox even though they have been removed from the server.
Tried setting to IMAP or POP but with the same results.
I quite liked the feature in 2.1 where the emails stayed visible.
That's the thing what I mean (but my English doesn't let me explain it so clearly like yours)
I hope there is a fix?
I think this was a fix, because now it does what it should do.
Just leave your mails a few days on the server with your pop client.
This way you have to delete spam mails only once.
Ok, perhaps there should be a button for switching the behavior.
Hey, hope some one here can help as its driving me up the wall.
I have gone from the HTC HD2 which was great for my mail as I use hotmail.
I now have Desire HD but hotmail seems to be a big problem for it.
First problem I had was I could not get hotmail setup using Microsoft Exchange, after the recent update I can now get it to conncect So I can now view all my folders which is what I needed as I have used hotmail for 10 years and have all my mail set into folders. Problem I now have is I can see my folders but cant open any of my mail using HTML. It all wants to open in plain text
Why cant this great device seem to do somthing as simple as push mail form my hotmail, show my folders and open my mail in html so I can view them in full??
anybody else got this problem and have this sorted?
Thanks nathan
