I run my own email server. So I set up an email account, an IMAP email account on my HTC Touch Diamond. However when I select "Folders" on the mail application on the phone it lists the entire contents of my home directory on my server, which is quite long. All of my mail folders are under ~/Mail.
I also use Thunderbird for my email client on my desktop. Thunderbird has a setting to handle this called IMAP server directory. You can get to it in Thunderbird under Tools: Account Settings: Server Settings: Advanced. Mine has the string "Mail". Then when you attempt to subscribe to a new mail folder you see only those under ~/Mail.
How can I configure this for the mail application in WM6.1? Otherwise it takes forever when doing a "Send/Receive" and receiving folders....
Hmmm... This link is definitely discouraging: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2004/06/24/send-me-a-message.aspx

Is there an e-mail application that has an option to leave the e-mail to the server? I mean not to delete them? Like Outlook Express has as an option?
Use an IMAP server - this leaves the messages on there unless you delete them and then synchronise on your device.
Also, you can leave them on the server whilst using the Pop3 protocol - it should be something like "delete messages immediately" - make sure this isnt ticked and it should work.
the mail account I have is just POP3... There is not such an option...
Anything else I could try?
Are you serious? The standard email application doesn't have an option to leave email on the server for POP3?
The inbox for Pop3 does not delete messages. It defaults to leaving it on the server. Unless of course you delete it and resync.
nPop
Why don't you try nPop (http://www.nakka.com/soft/npop/index_eng.html)
Theres is a version for Windows and a version for Pocket PC
To tell the truth I haven't set up an e-mail account yet because I have a problem with the sim card.. But since there was no option about leaving messages on server I assumed it didn't!!! So, am I wrong? :roll:
No problem
If you are using Pocket PC Outlook (Inbox), you don't have any problem: it does not retrieve the messages from the server anyway.
Try WebIS Mail - I've used it for months now and find it really good. As an additional bonus, it's available free right now from Handango:

Is it possible to sync the contacts on a certain address book folder of the PC?
Sync POP desktop Mail box with PPC POP mailbox
Hi all
I feel that I am missing someting when it comes to the revolution of portable mail.
I have a desktop with outlook that picks up / Sends mail over pop.
I have a MDAIII with pocket outlook that picks up mail / send over pop.
I have activesync that puts my desktop mail on my MDAIII in pocket outlook.
now all this is fine since I can send and recive from both devices.
The porblem arises for me in the concept,
When at home I do my mail, then go out and check my mail over MDA then I reply to a mail and send.
If I do this over the activesync account it stays in the outbox untill I sync which is logical.
If I do it over the pop account it sends it.
What I would like to find is a mail program that lets me sync my mail "Sent items" from my MDA with my desktop.
In short how can I sync my MDA pop acount with a local outlook PST file to incure that I can send / Recive and have my sent items uptodate on both the desktop and MDA?
PS: I am a privat user thus dont have a exchange server.
is there a software which checks emails via HTTP.....caz i wanna use a software which can download emails from my hotmail account on ma pda ...........ne ideas guys ????
thnx in advnc

My understanding of Hotmail is that it is a web based mail system. I think (but am not sure) that you can upgrade for a fee to pop which allows you to download your mail to a e-mail client such as outlook. This would then work with the built in e-mail client on your PDA after you set up your pop account.
Mail itself can be sent in HTTP or plain text.

Ive set up my company email on my TyTN II via outlook and exchange server (im not sure how to describe it, have I set up my email via exchange server on outlook on my phone or setup my outlook account on my phone via exchange server???).
Any how, its great because i hit send/receive and get all my mail on my phone, but when I send an email or delete an email, its not in my sent/deleted folder on my phone. I tried to send/recieve while in that respective folder but it remains empty.
Why?
Thanks.

Try this -> In your pocket outlook with Outlook E-mail selected as the account, select Menu -> Tools -> Manage Folders. Check the folders you want to sync
Or you can select which folders to sync in Activesync/WMDC on your pc.
I've gone through many threads on e-mail synchronization here. I found no solution to my problem - and I'm not even sure if I understand my problem well.
1. On my desktop computer I'm using Outlook with POP3 account (no Exchange server).
2. I'd like to sync my Kaiser (mail, contacts, calendar, tasks) with Outlook on my desktop computer.
3. I'd also like to be able to check e-mail (my POP3 account) using Kaiser (3G, WiFi) when I'm not at the office.
4. On my device I can only configure separate accounts for synchronization with Outlook ("Outlook mail") and for downloading e-mail from POP3 account.
So I cannot have those mails in one place - am I right?
5. When I send e-mail directly through POP3 account, it will appear on Kaiser only in Sent mail under this account.
So none of the messages I send directly through POP3 account will appear in "Outlook mail", synchronize and appear on my desktop Outlook?
If the answer to both bold questions is yes, then it sucks...
Dump POP3, use IMAP...
IMAP Clients (including Pocket Outlook & all desktop versions of Outlook) can be set to save a copy of all sent messages to a particular folder.
POP3 doesn't allow for this.
The way I solved it was to use a third party exchange server. The server "pulls" the emails from the POP servers you specify, then pushes them to Outlook on both the phone and your PC. Likewise, anything sent goes through the exchange server where it is kept in the sent folder, accessible from the PC or your phone.
No mail in "Sent mail" on Kaiser

Hi,
I am using IMAP on Kaiser to get e-mail and I have set the option on Kaiser to "Keep copies of sent items in Sent folder" but it does't do it.
I have a subfolder of "Inbox" called "Sent mail" (created automatically) and a separate "Sent mail" folder but when I send e-mail, it doesn't appear in any of them.
I deleted the account once and created it again, but still no luck. All e-mail I have sent from kaiser vanish.
Any suggestions?
hi all..
i have a pop3 e-mail account setup on my Kaiser ans it get the e-mails fine from the server...Only one problem..
Outlook syncs to the server now i don't want that...i Just want it to download the Messages...
so if i download a an e-mail on my Kaiser i read it etc...
Then later use my PC to download the Mail and delete it of the server..Kaiser will delete the mail as it is no longer on the server..
so the Kaiser is syncing with the server , hence if there is no e-mail on the server it will delete all the e-mails in my inbox to sync...
Simple Workaround:
Set your OUTLOOK on the desktop to leave a copy of the email on the server! That way it won't be removed in your PDA since the email on the server still exists. You can set your PDA's email settings to remove it from the server after email is deleted in the PDA.
I have set up a Gmail account so that I can receive emails from my Outlook acct. on my pc. Only problem is, when I reply to an email, it sends thm to me. Is there any way to just set up Outlook so that I don't have to have the secondary gmail acct?? I need a Domain name and server address. Anyone with any idea? TX!
If you set up Gmail from your PPC using m.google.com as server w/out a domain, uncheck tasks in sync settings, you will only get your own reply if you select reply all.
