I've been messing around with SEVEN, and it seems to do everything I want (sync read/unread status, deletion) except I haven't found a way to archive email or search through All Mail.
Are those two things possible (or do you have to use the web interface or the java app)?
Seven treats gmail like any other imap server (at least for e-mail fetching functions, though I think the configuration is tweaked to deal with gmail's unique folder layout and have things work fairly seamlessly with what appear as "labels" in the gmail interface.
It also is limited to getting mail from a certain time period, instead of everything on g-mail's server.
So all you can view and search is what's from within that time period -- for anything else, you'll need the java app or web site.
Thanks for the info!
Too bad you can't archive email... There isn't a way to set up a label with a filter, so you can instead just move email into an archiving folder?
Also, is it possible to get the preview in TouchFlo 3D to show the content of the email? (it says "Click to view message" instead of showing me the head of the message).

I know this isn't Kaiser-specific, so will happily accept pointers to any information....TIA.
Using an Exchange 2003 server it appears there really are only two choices: "Deliver all mail to handheld" or "Deliver no mail to handheld".
If I setup folders and server-side filters to move messages into those folders, then I believe I will: a) have to specifically sync those folders and b) not receive notification when a message hits the folder. Even that won't cover my general case - I'd like to do things like:
-notify me if a message marked urgent is received
-notify me if a message from a sender on my list is received (e.g. my wife, my boss, etc)
-not notify me of any other message receipt
Is there a tool (pay is fine!) that I can run (on the handheld, no access to the Exchange 2003 server) to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance,
Richard
Set up rules in your PC outlook client to move all unimportant emails to a sub folder. Only the inbox gets sent to your device.
Peter
Are you sure?
You can set any folders to sync. I get some items that outlook thinks are junk still pushed to my device when using directpush - whether I have left outlook open or not.
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 all,
It's not really a Diamond specific issue, more a Windows Mobile one, but since I'm running Direct Push on the Diamond now, I thought it would be ok to post this here.
I have Direct Push enabled (Microsoft Exchange) and it works.
I have quite a few subfolders in my 'Inbox' on the Exchange server, having Outlook sending email to the appropriate folder as they arrive, using Outlook's 'rules'.
On the Diamond (mailbox 'Outlook') I can see all those folders and I have marked them all for sync - which works.
Now the problem is that I only receive a pushmail notification (sound alert/vibration and onscreen message) for email that is not send to a subfolder by a rule, and that stays in 'Inbox'.
When I receive mail that was sent to a subfolder by rule, it get pushed to the same subfolder in the Diamond, but without any notification.
Now who's dealing with a situation like this, and knows how I can get my new email notification for all subfolders?
Thanks!!
I've got the same problem, and it is realy a problem because I've have a lot of subfolders.
Jacky
Same problem for me too... any luck figuring it out?
-Alex
I've wished for this for a long time and I know of no solution. I have rules running in Outlook to sort only messages that I don't need immediate notification of on my device. The rules to sort the others are disabled. Periodically, I manually run the other rules to sort my inbox.
I have a "different" but effective workaround for this:
Are you guys using Server side rules to move all of the e-mails to the different folders?
I set all my rules to be client (Outlook) side. So when I am at my notebook, the e-mail will be moved to the correct folders. When I am out in the field, and using my Diamond, those rules obviously don't run, so everything stays in my Inbox and I get notified of all the mails.
Back in the office, my Outlook rules will move it to the correct folders when I open Outlook.
Like I said, not the best of ways to do it, but it works for me
A probably dump question, but wanted to see if my company is running push enabled email and if is it possible to receive mail notifications on my Diamond by knowing the following: company is using Exchange Server - I can check my work email only either via Outlook client or Outlook Web Access.
From the above does it seem that I can have push email working on my Diamond? Do they have to be running some special push server for this to work.
I know I can ask this IT department, but wanted to clarify this here before I approach them.
Thanks.
@ EazyVG,
Since you're accessing email through OWA (and Outlook Client), that means your company is using MS Exchange Server(and Microsoft Direct Push, which is a part of Exchange Server).
So you can get the emails pushed on your Diamond as soon as they arrive(or any device that supports Direct Push for that matter) just by configuring an email account on your device with the settings same as of your email server.
Thanks for the info.
So, there is no solution to the topic-title issue?

There are several applications that you can try:
MessageNotify - Installs as Today Plugin, showing all subfoders with new e-mails
You can find it on Softpedia.
And CheckMail that claims to do the same, but the site section dedicated to the software is unavailable at the moment I was writing this post
The producer is called Magicashop
(sorry for not being able to send links to those applications, but xda forum prevents me since this is my first post)

Hello everyone.
So here's a little problem I've been having the past couple of days...
I'm using MS Outlook 2007, which I have set to retrieve my emails on hotmail through POP3 (for some issues that I've managed to fix by doing that, I hate Outlook connector ...) I've also programmed it to delete emails from server when I download them on my computer
So far, everything works great, as expected.
Now, here's the deal.
By doing that, my email account (server-based) is empty, so on my Htc, I can't set up Windows Live to retrieve emails, because there's nothing to retrieve.
The only way I can get it to have my emails on my TD, is to set an ActiveSync connection to my pc and have it sync my emails. But when I'm on the go, I don't have them...
What can I do to have them?
set outlook 07 not to delete mail from server - common sense no ?
I wish someone would say that
Yeah it is common sense... The only thing is, that it keeps it on the server, no problem for that... But it doesn't mark it as read... So it keeps poping up in outlook, so I end up having 10 times the same email...
Get rid of hotmail and use a proper service like gmail with IMAP.
Ahah I've been dreaming to do that... But since a use like every product of microsoft (Xbox 360, Zune and so on) so I have to use a Hotmail account...
Windows Mobile 6.1 Hot Fix for Sending POP and IMAP E-mail
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en
Overview
This behavior is associated with a feature that was introduced in Windows Mobile 6.1. It provides a way for users to send e-mail through an alternate outbound e-mail server provided by their mobile operator in the event that the default outbound e-mail server becomes inaccessible.
The problem occurs if a mobile operator doesn't use this feature, and therefore doesn't supply a value for the alternate SMTP address. When the mobile device fails on any attempt to connect to the e-mail provider's default SMTP server, Windows Mobile 6.1 automatically loads the value for the alternate SMTP server—which in this case is blank. The e-mail account configuration details are then corrupted, which results in loss of the ability to send e-mail with that particular e-mail account.
With this fix, the feature is patched to ensure that Windows Mobile 6.1 takes appropriate action when it detects a blank value for the Alternate SMTP server.
Note: After you apply this hot fix to your mobile device, the messages that have been sitting in the Outbox folder of your affected POP and IMAP e-mail account(s) will be sent. Since these messages could be out of date, you might not want to send them now. You can keep these messages from being sent by navigating to the Outbox folder of these accounts, and then either delete them, or move them to another folder. On Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional devices, you can access account folders by tapping the folder drop-down located in the upper left portion of the message list. On Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard devices, you can access account folders by pressing the Menu soft key, and then selecting Folders.
download the cab file and store it in ur phone memory and run it.
So this will allow me to do what... ? Because clearly, I didn't understand your post...

Ok, did that and I still can not send a message... Anybody have any clue as to why? I followed the set up instruction from google, tried every possible configuration there after. Installed the cab file and still, I can not send.
Any help would be appreaciated.
works like a gem for me
m sorry, outlook does not work unless u sync it with ur comp
the hotfix which i gave above acts as a substitute to ur outlook. with this hotfix i can send /recv mails from rediffmailpro which is my offical mail host.
After having updated my HTC HD7 with the Mango official build (via Zune) i noticed a couple of strange errors/bugs that didn't exist before. Let me share those with you, hoping that some of you may have found solutions to these:
1. When replying to an email, after typing some words and adding a couple of newlines, a strange ghosting appears, it looks like the keyboard on 5% transparency being overlayed on the text. Definitely a rendering bug, very annoying.
2. The copy paste icons are different, round. However, after a copy and a successful paste, the Paste icon appears half docked to the left. Before Mango, it would slide all the way to the left, i would drag it out by swiping right. ATM it just stays there, half visible. Maybe it's a new redesign? Looks awful though.
3. Emails with attachments rarely download by single tap on the attachment. It usually informs me the download couldn't complete and fails silently. After a manual resync of email, the attachments appear downloaded. It's not my exchange server, as i had the same server 1 day ago with NoDo working just fine and i also checked with the IT staff.
4. The home screen background used to display my stats and calendar immediately. Now it has a 1 second delay between powering on the device and displaying the information over the background. I immediately see the background, but it takes a while to update the stats (eg. new emails counter). Could be a redesign as well, but definitely annoying.
That it for now, let me know if you found any of these behaviours on your phones and what can be done to solve them. Thanx.

It's true... I have the same problem. So much time to release Mango update and still have problems...
I updated to Mango and none of my email works right anymore. I have an Exchange account and 3 Hotmail accounts through WP7 (I used the m.hotmail.com setting for the 3 Hotmail accounts so everything on my WP7 is EAS.)
For Exchange it appears the conversation feature is the problem. When it is enabled I am unable to delete my email from the Exchange server using WP7 (if I am having a conversation, thus a thread - if it's a single email I can.) When the conversation feature is disabled, I am unable to delete email off the Exchange server using Outlook 2010 (I have to go to OWA or my Blackberry to get the email off the server.)
For my Hotmail accounts - I am unable to receive new incoming mail with the conversation feature enabled. So I obviously disabled it. I also have my Hotmail accounts as POP3 through Outlook 2010. For each POP3 account, Under Advanced Settings I have selected, "Remove from server when deleted from 'Deleted items'" selected. After the Mango update that no longer works for Hotmail or Yahoo (I used to have Yahoo through WP7 but recently took it off.) To remove from the server from your computer you now you have to log into Hotmail/Yahoo via the website and delete it. WP7 will delete it (only if you haven't already deleted it from Outlook, thus you can't delete email from Outlook anymore) - WP7 is now the main manager of my POP3 accounts which shouldn't be the case.
When I first updated to Mango I was unable to get WP7 to delete from the server for any of my POP3 accounts or Exchange. I uninstalled and reinstalled the accounts I could, but with WP7 you can't do that with the main Hotmail Account - which led me to a reset. After the reset nothing is better. I also deleted all my accounts from Outlook 2010 and added them again. Nothing. I have this on Microsoft's forum and found out that people who use the Hotmail Connector are not having the "delete from server issue" when using Outlook 2010. I don't need the Hotmail connector as I use Exchange (I don't need or want all my stuff on a bunch of servers.)
I haven't heard of anybody else experiencing this. I have a ticket open with my Hosted Exchange provider - I know the dude that will talk to me tomorrow... I am hoping he can help me with Exchange - but to tell you the truth how??? Everything is syncing fine - I can send/receive email and my contacts and calendar sync as well. It's just getting the email to delete from their server - I shouldn't have to pick between Outlook or WP7 - both should delete.
I have thrown everything at this I can think of... calling AT&T will do nothing because they are stupid. I have a Nokia N900 a Blackberry and multiple computers (I am kind of a tech fan) and having email that should be DELETED off the server keep showing up all over the place is just not working for me. I don't want to walk away from WP7, I really like it - but I have no idea how to fix this.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated...
(Sorry my first post is this long drawn out diatribe of email sync dysfunction - but unfortunately that is my life right now. Hoping somebody can help lift me back into the light - where I used to be when my email synced to all my devices flawlessly... life before "Mango." )
Thanks for your patience....

(I searched for Mango problems and landed here - but didn't realize that this is HTC - I have an LG Quantum. So sorry - my bad (Hanging my head in shame right now)...

Bluetooth doesnt connect to my car anymore... worked perfectly before mango now it just stays at "searching..." I cant get other bluetooth devices to pick up either.
