Hi
I am using Windows Mobile Device center, with a Voda 1615 and I have set it to sync my mail from outlook, ensuring that all items are selected and that there is no limit on the size of the mail. It syncs all items fine but sometimes it is only a partial item and has the option of "click to download the rest of the message". I have checked and rechecked the options and it should be syncing all of the mail item. There also seems to be no correlation between the amount that is synced. Some are, for example 11k of 16k and some are 1k of 2k.
Has anyone else experienced this or know of a solution??
Regards
Andrew

OK, so I had some all day items in my calendar that weren't showing up on my tilt. So I tried and tried to replicate the occurence but I couldn't. Well after a couple weeks I've finally traced the issue, here's what happens.
I'll be on the road and will create an item on my calendar on my laptop (seems to only happen for all day items that I have "labelled", where you choose a color), but outlook will be "disconnected". I will then get home and regain connection to my outlook server, and the items will sync. Well usually, almost instantaneously, the item will be pushed to my tilt and will show up on it's calendar, but they don't.
So can someone test this on their device? Just disconnect outlook (you can right click on the "connected" in the bottom right portion of the status bar to disconnect), create an all day, labelled event for say, tomorrow. Then reconnect outlook, and sync your device.... does it show up?
Noone can take 30 seconds out of their busy day to test this?
I haven't run the test that you're asking, but I have around 100 recurring all day events with labels attached and they're showing up on my TyTN II (holidays, birthdays, conferences, etc).

And I have lots of labelled items showing up as well.... the key here is that the item has to be created AND labelled before being sent to the server.
Example 1: You create an all day event while outlook is connected to server. By the time you save, and right click on the new event to label it, outlook has already sent the event with no label to the server, and this is replicated to the tilt, without a label. Then you label the event in outlook, and the event is simply modded, and that mod sent to the tilt.
Example 2: You create an all day even while outlook is NOT connected to the server, and once you save it, it is NOT sent to the server. Then you label it, and reconnnect. The event is then sent as a new event, label and all, which is in turn sent to the tilt as a new event WITH a label, which I suspect the tilt doesn't like.
Think about it in terms of mail. How many times have you been away for a while, done a send receive in outlook (from say a POP client into your exchange mailbox) and when the mail comes in, you have rules that move it from the inbox to a certain folder, this happens almost instantaneously but I still have had items pop up in my normal inbox on my tilt because of that split second it's actually in the inbox before it's moved to a folder.
Played around with outlook calendar some more yesterday and I can also replicate the issue by doing the following:
Find an all day, labelled event somewhere on your calendar, copy it (click on it while hitting Ctrl-C very quickly, this is in month view), and paste is on a different date. That new event should not show up on your tilt calendar if you are syncing over the air (as in over the cell network, not a bluetooth or wi-fi sync to your home computer)
Can SOMEONE try this? Not asking for your first born.

Blackjack and MotoQ
I can confirm the same issue for a user here using both a Blackjack I and MotoQ.
I picked up a Touch Diamond with Vodafone last week. I have setup activesync to partner with my company exchange server.
The push email is working fine but for some reason it will not sync the contacts. I have about 100 contacts on my exchange profile but when using activesync is seems to spot 179 of them. However after appearing to sync all of them across none of them show up in my contacts.
What is really weird is if I create a contact on the device it then appears on my desktop profile.
Any ideas on how I fix this?
Gentle bump...
Windows Live for Windows Mobile.
Its not working correctly for me on Hyper Dragon III Full rom. Installed a cab for Windows Live 10.6.0034.0800. I then set up email (I have a legacy hotmail account) via messaging > windows live. Inbox fails to sync, but contacts will sync. After fiddling with manage folders sent items will sync but junk mail wont. So at present i am able to sync contacts, and sent items, but not inbox or junk mail.
Tried thinning down both folders (Less than 50 messages each) but no dice. Any one else having difficulties with windows live and hotmail, or know of a fix for this issue?
I know the server isnt broken because i can sync sent items and contacts...
Trim them down some more. Same thing happened to me. I think Microstink changed server settings and won't synch a heavily loaded inbox. I have only 26 items in hotmail inbox now and it works fine.
I thought they took care of the heavily loaded inbox by only displaying last 50 msgs...
Any who, slimmed inbox to 21 messages, and still no sync "Failed to synchronize Inbox"
Surprisingly junk email did sync with only 5 messages... Ill slim down my inbox some more, bur will be upset if my inbox will only sync with 5 msgs.
It worked after slimming inbox to 4 msgs. whats the point.
Had 25 emails in my inbox and it brok'd again... Boo . Is there another way to sync hotmail besides going to mobile live via PIE, or using mobile live?
This is ridiculous, i would say its an issue with my build current build of Windows Live Mobile, but sent items and junk mail are syncing now... Its the inbox that wont sync. It seems to be very enigmatic.
Anyone having luck syncing hotmail/live inbox with other builds of Windows Live Mobile? If so what build are you using? What rom are you running?
Thanks in advance,
James
This happened all of a sudden for me... I don,t think it's a ROM issue but a server issue. Might be a good time to consider using Gmail. I don't have this issue with my Gmail account.
Not a bad idea .
Hotmail seems to be working ATM. I'm gonna have it do syncs every 15 min for the next day or so.
Opened a gMail account as well, nice that they have imap!
What's the maximum attachment limit for Hotmail on mobile?
It doesn't seem to bother with anything bigger than 2MB... how lame!
Kinda makes HSDPA pointless lol
I've always had problems with Windows live, first setup it syncs flawlessly then nothing but fails. Totally useless. Like you say whats the point in having to log in via PIE, clear your emails out, then re-sync. I'm absolutely amazed that Microlimp haven't sorted this out yet I mean come on its not like people receive less that 5 messages a day what with spam and whatnot.
Useless.
The only solution I think is to forward all your mails to a Gmail account, but im pretty sure that's not a free service, nothing in life usually is.
Live Mail won't download
I've been running into the same problem where my hotmail account won't download. The symptoms are that the email account works fine (access from a PC always works), then suddenly poof, my phone won't synchronize with the server anymore.
On the WindowsMobile website, this is a known problem with the email service and MSFT is trying to fix it, but it's still broken.
The workaround is to find the offending piece of email that is causing the logjam. Once it's been moved to a non-synchronizing folder or has been deleted, Live Mail downloads just fine again. The problem is finding the offending piece of email. For expediency, I just copy ALL my mail to another folder, just to get the downloading working again. I have not found the characteristics that cause the problem, but I do know it doesn't happen to simple text emails.
I've been having problems with this for the last month, very annoying.
AutoSync
So far so good, with auto syncs every 15 min. Hopefully it will last, or at least allow me to find out what mail is causing the sync to break... I didn't know that there are bugs in Windows Live, (or perhaps it !is! a feature to have sync break) maybe it should be degraded back to beta.
I have been having this problem for the last few days, thanks for the notice that it was due to an e-mail jamming it up.
It was my e-mail coming from skyfire, the one telling me to log in and dowload the beta.
I deleted it, and it is working just fine now.
Autosync
Autosync-ing every 15 min or so seems to do the trick, so far for me. Haven't had any issues since cleaning out my inbox and setting up auto sync.
* Damn, didnt realize that i get so much cr*p!
I have my yahoo mail account set up through pocket outlook, everything works ok except when I send messages, they don't show up in the sent folder. I have the setting checked that should save all sent items, so I'm stumped as to why it won't work. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
I would say you have two possibilities, one no E-Mails are being sent or two you need to go to your message option and select the check box which tells it to save a copy in your sent folder.
Unfortunately, this seems to be a common problem, especially with IMAP email accounts. From what I have read so far (Search IMAP Issues on XDA), there is no fix for this and is an issue with Windows Mobile.
Hopefully you don't have the issue where you cannot send email attachments as well... that's another common IMAP issue....
SIGH!!!
Magic Solution
I've been browsing various posts about this problem and just found a simple solution to my problem that might help others.
I have a yahoo account set up for for IMAP sync with my handheld. The "Keep copies of sent items in sent folder" box under options...message was checked. Yet my handheld was saving none of the emails I had sent.
I also noted that I have two folders for sent in my account: one called "sent" and one called "sent items".
My solution was to check "Sent Items" for sync under the Menu...Tools...Manage Folders option on the handheld. Syncing the "Sent" folder had no effect.
Having set the "Sent Items" folder for sync, all the emails I had previously sent magically appeared on both my handheld and on my yahoo account. Amazing.
I hope someone else finds this helpful.
Thanks tedkle! Your solution worked perfectly! My Sent Items now appear on both my handheld and Yahoo account.
Now for the next challenge. . . I also synchronize with Outlook, so Yahoo, my device and my desktop Outlook all need to be in synch.
Is there any way to take your solution one step further and also have mail sent from my device also appear in Outlook? It would appear that a setting in Yahoo needs to be flipped to "Push" items in "Sent Items" folder as well as items in the "Inbox"?
Thanks again!
Great!
That solve the problem. I was told by a tech representative that it was a flaw with Windows Mobile. furthermore, he said that the telco technician confirmed that.
All that after putting down $500 for a PPC smartphone. Hopefully, the telco will come up one day with smart-technicians.
Thanks a lot
Hi guys,
I'm having a bit of a strange issue with using email. I have my GMAIL account set-up, and it works fine, constantly pulls my emails through and I am able to send emails fine as well.
The problem though is that when I send an email, it doesn't appear in any of the folders on the mail tab if i go back to search for it later.
Is anyone else having this issue using GMAIL on their Diamond 2?
Perhaps you need to make sure your SENT MAIL folder is set up to synch with the server. I had a similar issue with Yahoo Mail - if you're using IMAP instead of POP, then you can (and should) set up which of the folders on the server you want to synch with. I think that by default, your inbox and outbox are the only ones that get synched.
From the Mail tab in Manila, press INBOX. Then press MENU > Tools > Manage Folders.
Thanks Jim. Syncing the folders did the trick however it has raised another issue. All the emails in my sent folder just show my email address and the subject line and not who i actually sent the email too. Is this normal and how yours looks too?
Ha! I never noticed that before! Yes mine does the same. To see who you sent the message to, you have to open the message and scroll up.
That's a bit weird. I guess by default the mail app displays the sender and subject, which is fine for your inbox but a bit daft for the sent items folder. Not sure if it can be changed though.
Interesting...
I can not confirm the issue. When i change zu the folder "Sent" (in WM-Interface), i see the recipient, subject, date and size in the list - and not the sender. Same in "Outgoing".
