I have an ATT Tilt and Goodlink software (v5) installed for our corporate email. I also have been using pocket outlook to retrieve pop3 email for a couple of personal accounts. The shortcut I have been using to get to the "folders" option in pocket email mysteriously changed and now connects me to the goodlink email account instead. The shortcut looks like this:
19#:MSINBOX
The only way I have been able to get to my pop3 accounts is to click on a text messaging link and scroll left or right with the d-pad to get to the other accounts.
Is there a way to rebuild the shortcut from scratch or create a new one which will point me to the 'messaging folder' for pocket outlook?
I'm sure the answer is already here somewhere in the forums, but searching and browsing all weekend hasn't been fruitful for me. Thanks in advance for the assitance.
I'm amazed at the vast knowledge available here at xda-developers and the variety of software and solutions you people provide.
I believe the app you want is tmail.exe in your Windows directory. You may have a tmail.ink shortcut in your Windows directory... in which case you can just copy and paste it wherever you want, presumably in the Start Menu structure. The other way is to find tmail.exe with Total Commander... then hilight it can click "file" then ">>>>>" then "Create shortcut" and place it in Start Menu.
Thanks smuook! Now i feel silly. I had seen several posts discussing tmail.exe. I had mistakenly thought this was a T-Mobile app. your suggestion was exactly what I needed.

First off i appoligize if this is a repost; I spent the last hour searching before I had to break down and post. I have HTC HOME today plugin and am using Goodlink as my email server. My want/hope is to get the email icon in the home plugin to route to goodlink instead of standard email box. Is this possible? Goodlink puts a seperate email plug in on the today page so can they be merged? Thank you for any help that can be provided!
THe last email inbox you view is where the home email icon should take you. SHould be a little star beside it, and make sure to uncheck "show accounts chooser" box (somethign like that) in outlook so that you don't have to select that accunt each time.
Thank you for that information. When i can finally talk IT to allow direct exchange sync that should work perfectly. Yet for now I am still stuck with the problem since GoodLink is managed by it's own seperate program and does not integrate into pocket outlook in any way. Is there a way to customize the plugin to associate to a different program all together(goodlink instead of pkt outlook?)

Oh i understand now.
Well, not that I know of.
Someone changed the path of the SMS icon on the home screen, but I don't know how that was done. Through a reg edit somewhere I am sure. It was in the Alex roms thread somewhere.
You will have to look around for that, I am unsure how to do it, even though Id like to know too.
I've been looking for this also. Haven't been able to find it in the registry in the places you'd think to look. I want to force the link to always go to the exchange email instead of possibly MMS or SMS (I mean there's a direct link to SMS why would I want to go there when I click email even if I'd happened to be looking there last).
My e-mail is currently sync'd to an Exchange 2003 server, which works beautifully apart from one thing. In my exchange rules I have certain rules set so that the e-mail is simply placed into a different folder. On my phone I have selected the subfolders that I want to also sync on the phone, but this is where my problems start.
When an e-mail comes into the subfolder, not only does it not alert me with any sound, it also does not display on the unread e-mails list so I have many a time missed an e-mail that I needed to see. The e-mail is visible as unread when expanding the outlook folder tree or entering the subfolder, but not anywhere useful.
Is there anything I can do to remedy this without having to resort to a massive collect all inbox?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

I asked the same thing when i got mine because i have many sub-folders and the outcome is no you cannot, suck i know. I did find though that SPB Diary does and will let you choose your subfolders and displays them on the today screen. My problem was though SPB Diary slowed my phone down but so far that is the only workaround I had found. Here is a link to SPB Diary.

You can look at CheckMail application (http://www.magica.ro/pda_pocket_checkmail.php) which solves the problem of unread mails from subfolders.
This application monitor ActiveSync events and alert the user when there are unread mails in inbox and Subfolders.
You can test the application by downloading the demo version.
I really like watchflag.

Cool I have been looking for a solution for this for a long time! I wish that there were an easy way around this for both my phone and in outlook. I do feel that it is something that I shouldn't have to pay for though :-/ And I don't want to slow down my phone any more than it already is.

Hi guys,
I don't mean to vent frustrations here but I'm becoming increasingly disappointed with my T-Mobile Vario III (WM6).
My main issue lies with the email capabilities and its seeming inability to work consistently and correctly in my hands. Initially, I was not able to see the link for email attachments let alone download them.
I learned that I needed Windows Live to accomplish this. So I downloaded the CAB file, installed it, synced it with my hotmail inbox and everything appeared to be ok. Wrong.
I was able to click the attachment, which happened to be an .xls file, and download it. However, it revealed itself in 'Mail Attachments' on my SD card. Lets say the file was called Book1.xls, when I open Mail Attachments, the file is there but it has been renamed to '340000d2-330000d4' and is unrecognisable to Excel Mobile. The file is ~ 730kb. The phone suggests I go to Excel Mobile and try to open it through the application. This doesn't seem to be achievable.
What's more, when I go back to my inbox and try and re-download the file, it won't let me. It tells me it 'Cannot display the attachment'. Occasionally it will also say it 'Failed to sync folders'.
This whole process seems so much simpler on my friend's N95. Go straight to hotmail, download attachment, open with Spreadsheet and bang, it's there. Why can't the Vario III be like that?
I apologise in advance if I'm being incompetant but surely it shouldn't be this fiddly.
Thanks.
So if I understand you correctly, you can't view/open email attachments in your pocket outlook.
If that's the case, (if you're installed the latest windows cab), do have the latest version of "Windows Live" and/or Pocket MS Office '07?
Perhaps you should use a different email client (Fleximail, Profimail, (not free).
I also suggest you try the link in my signature "General Software Questions". That way, more people will be able to see and answer your question(s)
If I read things right, you are trying to download your email from Hotmail?? If this is right, then to be honest the best solution is to change to a proper pop3 address (Gmail for example).
I use Gmail on my Tytn II and have no problems downloading attachments etc using the built in Outlook client, the only thing I have done is to get another program to build a "check email" schedule.
If you aren't using Hotmail, then ignore this!
Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate the responses.
I was using Hotmail in a vain attempt to retrieve my attachments. After about 4 or 5 hours of research and effort, I decided to give up. I tried using Gmail and it works fine, as long as I don't use the html version of mobile Google. Normal Gmail allows me to save the excel file to my documents and open it with Excel Mobile.
I am satisfied, I suppose.
Thanks again.
I think you would be better of activating pop3 on Gmail and using the built in Outlook and not going through a browser, but its up to you.
If using gmail, I would enable IMAP on your gmail account, then set it up as a regular IMAP email on the Kaiser. Much better then POP on a mobile device.
I think the problem with the poster is he's opening the files directly from the mail attachment folder which is where Pocket Outlook puts the attachments with whatever name it wants to use.
What you have to do is go to your email and you'll see the attachment there with its correct name. Click and hold, choose save as and pick the location. Then you can browse to the location using windows explorer or excel and open it from there. Just like a pc.
Yeah, I worked it out: Don't use Hotmail. I configured it to use Gmail IMAP and it works fine. Now I just have the multitude of other bugs to deal with...
Thanks again.
Guys,
With my tilt and TF2D if I had more than 4 e-mail accounts then I would get a down arrow below the 4th account in the accounts tab. So when I wanted to get to the other accounts I could scroll down.
Now with my Fuze (Both AT&T ROM and HTC Rom) I see 2 problems. First when I add the 5th account to the accounts list I get an error in Manilla.exe. the account gets added but I cannot select it from the accounts tab. I have to go to the tab, tap inbox and then pull down the list of accounts at the top and select the new account.
The second is that TF3D doesn't seam to support the down arrow for more then 4 accounts. Based on the error I am getting when I add the 5th and 6th accounts it seams that the code is still there and trying to work but fails.
Anyone got a fix for this? Any help would be great!
Hate to say this, but try a different e-mail client? Something like Flexmail for instance is superior to poutlook in every way, with the only downside (to it and everything else out there) being that it's not integrated with TF3D. With that many e-mail accounts you'll probably want something more advanced anyway.

I know I can use another client I was just hoping that some of these other great minds on here could point me in the right direction to make the OEM tools work. I know they did in TF2D and I'm sure there is a way to get the same result from TF3D.
Anyone?! It would be greatly appreciated.
4 mail accounts only???
hey all i have a cab (wont say from where) that i think will correct this issue. It is a cab for the EPIX but i think it might do the trick.
4th email fix
HOPE THIS WORKS! i looked around and i see where and how to upload files. Here you go and i hope this works.
Thanks justpe8709,
Can you also provide the link to the thread so that I can read more about what this cab does? That way I can see if this is what I need without having to clean up my phone from another cab install that didn't uninstall correctly.
Thanks!
well i got this .cab from a ummmmm non public site. so this is the only thing I have for you. If you want to message me your # i can call you and let you know more info on it.
Does anyone know how to sync with additional folders on an exchange account? Right now the outlook account that I have connected only downloads messages in my inbox.
I would like it to download items in my junk e-mail box and other specific folders from my exchange account. I was able to do this in WM 6.1, but WM 6.5 does not have the same options, at least from what I have been able to find. If anyone has figured this out please let me know.
Go to the Inbox of your exchange account and hit Menu, then Tools then Manage Folders. The folders checked here (bolded) will sync from your account.
Thanks, for your reply. I did not realize that you have to turn off TouchFlo 3D in order to get to the tools menu to manage your folders, that's why I couldn't find it.
Thanks for your help!

You don't, you just have to scroll down on the menu to see that item. If yu look on the right side of the menu that pops out there is a small line when it's not the whole menu.
