Greets,
I use Eudora on my main system, and would like to keep that as my master email program. During my work day, I use a program which does not impact the email on the server (so that it is still there when I get home). Many programs do this on the PC including MailWasher and Magic Mail Monitor.
I would like to be able to check my POP3 email accounts on my Tilt, but not affect the existence of the email on the server or change from Eudora.
Thanks!
The standard (preinstalled) Messaging program can do just that. When you configure your account make sure to select "Advanced Settings" and select "Keep them on the server".

You don't need to do so - unless you delete stuff by hand.
BTW, make sure you read my Mailer Bible in the Wiki; it thoroughly compares all mailer clients for Windows Mobile.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=The Definitive Pocket PC Mail Client Roundup
I have also been looking for a good email program. Whatever you do dont waste your time on Flexmail. Endless troubles. I have reverted to the built in email and messaging program which comes with WM6 untill something else comes up.

Hey everyone,
I'm new to these boards but have been a long time PDA/phone user. Last night, I downloaded and installed the 2.25 ROM for my Cingular 8125 device and setup my Exchange account.
I have an MS Exchange 2003 SP2 mailbox and setup Direct Push, but the e-mails still take a minute or two to get to me when a Blackberry or GoodLink take about 15 seconds. It seems that the Exchange server just pushes out an IP packet to my phone to make it go through the [seemingly wasteful] process of performing an ActiveSync operation. So constantly my connection arrows are alternating between "connected" and "ActiveSyncing." To me, it's almost as slow as the old SMS push-pull method.
Furthermore, it seems that (a) my ability to sync my subfolders is gone. Previously, I could select folders to sync to my device from my device. Now, I can select all my folders, but they are all empty (except my Inbox). If I go to Menu -> Tools, the "Manage Folders" option is greyed out. I cannot tap and hold a folder to sync it. And (b), the option to manually "send/receive" is also greyed out. If I turn DirectPush off (which I do at night to prevent receiving my emails), I have to open the ActiveSync application to get my e-mail instead of previously being able to tap Menu -> Send/Receive from the Messaging program.
Is this normal? Are these the results that others are seeing from MSFP? Finally, are there any other noteworthy improvements in this ROM other than MSFP? If this is the case, and there are no other improvements, wouldn't it behoove me to revert back to the previous ROM?
Thank you in advance for you help and insight!

The messaging app can switch between SMS, Email and MMS. You can switch it by press Email button on top left corner or by changing accounts in menu. Sounds like all you issue is related to the fact that your messaging app is currently in other accounts like SMS or MMS.

Foxbat,
Thank you, but I am in the Outlook E-mail account. I'm pretty savvy about these things to know at least that much!
I'm still not able to manage my folders or manually send and receive and I still feel like there's a longer lag time than Blackberry or GoodLink.
Are you using the MSFP ROM with an Exchange 2003 SP2 account? If so, what are your experiences?
Thanks again!
Yes, I'm using MSFP on 2.17 ROM right now. I have none of your issues.
i can just say that it doesn't sound like the MSFP is actually working in your case. Once i switched to directpush, my messages are on my phone within 5 seconds, no activesync whatsoever. same for calendar, tasks and contacts.
i have a tmo blackberry and a tmo mda - i tested sending messages to both at the same time, on average the mda receives the message about 1 second later than the blackberry - an extrememly nice improvement.
The send/receive option in Outlook account is always greyed out, you can only receive email there by syncing or push mail. there is a thread on this on this forum, called Pocket Outlook Account is worthless or something like that.

Wrong. It works just fine all the time for me in 2.17 ROM and 2.24 ROM (I skipped the worthless 2.25 Cingular ROM). I don't know what's wrong with OP's issue. Maybe he should re-examine the settings or do a hard reset.
I had a similar problem when I updated my ROM. Send/recieve and Manage Folders was greyed out. I fixed it by deleting the sync to my exchange and re-adding it through active sync on my PC. From active sync on the PC double click Exchange server. Click the "delete server" button. Wait for it to sync and remove all your emails from the phone. Then go Tools > Configure Server Source and add it back in. This worked for me.
If that doesn't work, you can select folders in active sync. That also worked for me before I deleted and re-added my exchange. Not as handy as being able to do it from the phone though.

Everytime i connect to my mail server via the standard email client. Previous messages on my device will delete, does anyone know how to disable this so i can keep my old mails whilst retrieving new ones. I have searched everywhere for this (but ill keep my flame proof jacket handy just in case)

Try changing the Email Settings to get email more than 1+ day.
I have looked through all of the setting but with no luck I cant seem to work out how to do this, is there a regedit for this at all
From within an e-mail account:
Menu > Tools > Options.
Tap on the account in question.
Now tap next (right soft key) Until you get to the screen with "Automatic Send/Receive" & "Download messages:"
Change "Download Messages" to whatever duration you want (including the option of "All Messages").
Now if your talking about a gmail account then the fix is different: Make sure your username is "recent:[email protected]" of course use your username where I put the underscores.
Both of these issues are documented within the forums.
OK, this is probably a silly question, but I can't figure it out for the life of me.
I have set up a mail account to Gmail. In that account I'm forwarding some other accounts of mine, so it gets pretty crowded.
What I would like to do is delete messages from my phone but NOT from Gmail.
Outlook Mobile offers two choices, as far as I can see: when deleting messages either
Move them to server trash, or
Delete them off the server.
Neither of those suits me. I only want to delete them from the bloody phone.
A further restriction is that I like to use my mail from TF3D, and therefore would rather not having to install another mail client unless TF3D can somehow be coerced into working with it.
Oh, and in case you wonder - I don't sync my mail with the desktop Outlook. I'm using Gmail more and more...
Thank you all for your help.
have you tried both options, and seen what the effect on the server inbox is?
ive thought of this before, and it annoyed me greatly, but i cant remember the solution. plus, we all know how wm doesnt word things correctly.
rory
err... sorry.. duplicate post.. don't know why
Tap on mail (touch flo)
Inbox
Menu-Tools-options
Tap on Gmail
(setting should open up now)
Hit 'Edit Account Setup'
Click on next next next next next
(hide key board on Automatic Send/Receive screen)
Hit 'Advanced Settings'
When deleting messages: (drop down menu)
You can set it there to not delete the messages from the server
Hope this helps

Thank you for your answer. However, I only have the two options described in my first post. Can you see a third option there?
err.. oops. Just checked again
I could have sworn it was there!
Sorry mate. guess that was on the P1 or something.. not sure.
This might not be a feasible solution, but ... just a thought..
You could set it to keep the messages only for the last 4 or 5 days..
that way, they won't be on your phone, but will be on your server.
A POSSIBLE workaround.. definitely not a solution
Here is what I configured to use the diamond without loss of messages during their removal :
I created a special e-mail address to use with my mobile phone, like [email protected].
And I set up a redirect additional for all my messages to it.
Now, I can delete all my messages without erasing the ones on my main account.
Try to go to "tools" - "option". Click the account you need to edit. Click "send/receive schedule" - "advance settings" - "when deleting messages" dropdown menu.....

Same thing. Just the two options.
Delete from Server.. or Move to Server Trash
OK, I think I've got it. It all boils down to the fact that the default Gmail setup is IMAP. If you change that to POP3 (using the instructions from Gmail) you will be able to delete your mails on the phone only.
It would be nice if someone could confirm this. It certainly seems to be working for me.
EDIT: WORKS! I get "Keep them on server" now.
The problem is related to the gmail server own rules. I have just made a test account and there is no "keep on server" option on the WM mail client. On my other account (my own domain/server) there is no problem.
You could use another mail provider (hotmail, live) for example.

Turns out it actually is IMAP vs POP3. While IMAP is generally better, when you do something locally (on the phone) it is as if it was done on the server (a disadvantage in this case).
The key is to fool Diamond into not recognizing Gmail, which means giving the address as [email protected][B]gm[/B].com, then put all the POP3 settings.
On the other hand, I've noticed it will only download the unread messages...
On my Windows Mobile 5, I had my Hotmail account in my Outlook. It looked just like any other email account. Now with WM6 on my Touch Pro, when I try to set up my Hotmail account, it just opens the web browser and take me to the Hotmail website, so I must log in there to get my emails. Just like any other webmail.
Is there a way to get Hotmail in my Outlook on WM6?
Have you tried logging into Messenger on the device? It should take you to the Windows Live setup screen, then select sync email (I disabled the sync contacts thing since it messed up my contacts). Hotmail should appear in your mail accounts then
Great! Thanks a lot, it worked
heya, I'm a first time wimo user and i tried to do the stuff you mentioned above, but it didn't work. I got into messenger, but it takes me straight to my contacts list. apart from that i couldn't find the option to sync the contact list. I accessed the messenger software through messages/messenger

While you were setting up your Messenger account there should be a screen that asks if you want to syncronise your Hotmail contacts and emails to your device. If you missed that you might need to re-do the signup process again.
actually, this does work but if u log out of messenger, the mailbox also disappears... hummm...... so its not a perm solution.
I encounter a similiar as you do. I have dl another version Windows Live from http://wl.windowsmobile.com, but you have to remove the HTC PRO existing version which have IM function, this one dl does not. [I use Ebuddy to connect my MSN instead.]

Hotmail location
I checked through my installed programs and the only messaging client i can find is the one with msn aol and yahoo bundled together. is it possible i need to instal a cab to get the messenger w/ hotmail working, or iam i not looing in the correct directory on the fuze?
Try Windows Live Hotmail for Windows Mobile
http://www.gowindowslive.com/Mobile/Landing/HMforWM/Default.aspx?Locale=en-US
the link should take you to the download of the program. Once you install you can set up your hotmail account in you phone and it should go through a process of accepting terms and conditions, etc and then it should appear normally in your phone.
Hope this works.
only 50 e-mails ?
although i got my hotmail in my messages inbox i can only see the last 50 e-mail messages, when i synchronise my hotmail on my Pro it stops at 50, but if i remove 1 mail from my device and sync again then the device only downloads 1 more email to top up to 50..

Does this work if you want to add more than one Hotmail accounts?
You can also use the beta @ http://www.seven.com which will let you have several hotmail accounts. I use it, and it works pretty well.
been trying it from last night but everytime I try to set up the email it keeps saying

ok i'm sorry, but i have been all over the place and still cant make this work!
my work IT dept only allows remote email via the web. i can access using opera no problem but i'd like to sync/push/downloadupload/whateveritscalled into my outlook on the phone seamlessly. HOW DO I DO IT?!?!? i have tried and TRIED to set this up to no avail thru "new account" in the messaging and thru activesync. it cant be that hard since there are only 2 simple steps when i access it via opera.
#1) i go to the website:
www.sodexhomail.com (but when it loads, the full address is https://www.sodexhomail.com/owa/&reason=0)
#2) and i login with only 2 pieces of info:
domain\username: xx-xxxxxxx\myname
password: xxxxxxxx
please please PLEASE someone tell me how to set this up STEP BY STEP so i dont have to keep going thru opera!
thanks!
Ok this is not so hard. I configured it myself many times.
First you have to ask your IT Department whether they allow mail on your device. What if you lose your device, other people might have access to sensitive emails.
For pushmail to work you need an Active Directory user account and this account has to be mailbox-enabled. From the information you just supplied, you do have an AD account which is mailbox-enabled.
When you go to http://www.sodexhomail.com/owa you will see that you will be redirected to https://www.sodexhomail.com/owa Do you see the extra S behind HTTP ? THis means that you access your website securely. In your internet browser on your normal desktop or laptop computer you will see a little golden lock at the end of the address bar. When you click it, you have the option to see the security certificate and to export it to a file. Export this certificate to a file (just click next all the time and give it a descriptive name) and save it on your computer. Then connect your Diamond to your computer and transfer this certificate to your diamond. On your Diamond browse to this certificate and click it so it will be installed. For ActiveSync and Pushmail to work you must do this.
Ask your IT Departmend whether they have enabled your user account for active sync and pushmail. If not, you can't use pushmail. If they did, continue with the following steps on your diamond.
Ok, you've already installed the ssl security certificate on your diamond. Now open Active sync on your diamond and do the following.
1. Click MENU.
2. Click Configure Server
3. In the field Server address type: www.sodexhomail.com and enable SSL
4. click next
5. In the User name filed type your user name and password
6. In the domainfield, type sodexhomail.com and enable to remember your password.
7. Click next
8. Enable the items you want to sync, like contacts, calender, email and tasks
9. Select email and click configuration and select the option how far back active sync should go for syncing emails and select for the messages HTML.
10. Click advanced and enter your email address.
11. CLick Finish.
12. In the main Active Sync menu, click menu again and choose Schema
13. Select As items arrive and configure the times you want to receive pushmail. I entered 00:00 - 23:59 so 24h a day.
Now you should be done.
Good luck.
EDIT: If your company uses Microsoft Exchange 2007, maybe your administrators configured Outlook Anywhere. This means that you only have to install the ssl certificate and dont have to configure the above steps. On your diamond you simply go to Start - Messages and create a new account. Fill in your company mail adddress and password and on the next screen you will be asked if you want to configure your mail settings from the internet automatically. I configured this myself and works like a charm. But if your IT admins did not configure Outlook Anywhere, this won't work.
You an only do it if your company enables OMA (outlook mobile access).
OWA for access via a browser and OMA for push access via activesync are totally different.

so...good news, i'm acutally smart enough to follow instructions, thank you so much! and bad news is that the sync error tells me that my company doesnt support/allow it (right?), and i'm guessing theres no way around this without IT admin involvement.

You have to get them to enable active sync for your mailbox.
In the meantime solution
Had a similar problem so i requested IT to send duplicate emails to my live/hotmail account which they had no problem with. From hotmail its easy to sync to WM. You can also tell hotmail that when it sends emails it can do it on bahalf of [email protected].
[Then you can set a rule on hotmail to forward some emails back to your main work account - have not donr that though]
