Hi,
Our company is getting rid of BlackBerry and I thought it would be good to switch my BlackBerry to my personal Phone which is Tilt and having some issues with it. I've got most of things sorted out as far as setting it up but there are couple of things I can't find answer to.
1. It only notifies of new emails that are in Inbox but it doesn't notify any of new emails that are in different folders. I have couple of folders that I've set rules to move new emails to different folders but those don't give me any kind of notification when new email arrives. Any way to make it notify me?
2. It seems only place I can store my email is memory in the phone and only store attachment to storage card. Is there a way around it so that I can set everything to storage card? That way I don't waste memory in my Tilt?
3. With BlackBerry, once I select folders to be synced there's message screen that shows all new emails instead of switching folders to see new emails in Inbox and other folders I've created such as Boss, colleagues, tickets etc. Is there a way or program that lets me see all the new emails in one centralized location/folder/screen?
Thanks you very much.

I have been searching for a answer on this and cannot find anything. So I turn to experts like you!
The issue I and maybe others is that whenever I receive a new email message that falls under one of my Mail rules (to route new mail to subfolders in the Exchange Mailbox) my phone will not tell me there is a new message waiting for me to reply too.
Does any one know of a fix\hack\tweak that would tell me when any new email is received....regardless of which folder the message is routed too!
Thanks in advance.
I hope somebody answers this question. I'm going to have to remove all of my rules an start moving them all manually after I read them. That would suck!
Are the subfolders subfolders of the inbox folder?
They most certainty are! Oh wait a minute.....dang didn't even think about that! Hold on.
I moved all the folders from below the inbox into the actual mailbox. But still wont tell me when I receive mail in any box but the Inbox.
I might have to reconfigure the phone (delete the current account and redo the setup)
I will do that later and post back!
Thanks for the help! and great question. I almost feel retarded that I didn't think of that before!
Well moving the folders didnt change anything. Even after the reset of the device.
Any one have any other ideas?
go to the folder directly and hit send/recieve.

Well its not that the email isnt syncing to the folder.
Its that whenever, ActiveSync runs and downloads mail, it will only tell me about new mail residing in my Inbox and not any other folders. ( I have rules that route mail to the correct subfolder )
I just want to the phone to display the number of messages that are new TOTAL not just in the Inbox.
ok got it.
a rigorous solution, but:
I installed spb diary. This program checks all folders for new mail. It allows for completely managing your mail from the today screen (or just the new mail whatever you prefer) great program.
Hi all,
I'm sure this has been brought up before, but I thought it would have been fixed in the WM6.
I use subfolders on my exchange server and I am using the exchange connection to my new TiLT to get my email.
When I get email that the sever rules move into a subfolder, I don't get an alert on my device that I have new email.
Is there a way to have an alert on my device when I receive email no matter what folder it ends up in?
Removing my rules is not an option because if all of my email went into my Inbox I would get nothing done.

I do the same thing but as far as I have looked, I did not find such thing because the push mail function only alerts of you new mail in the INBOX folder. But you can always go and check the other folders in your Outlook email folders. Just make sure they are enabled on the sync option.

I think this is a problem with mobile Outlook itself. My other PDA phone does the same thing.
There must be some sort of reg hack out there so this would work...

Why not modify your rule to copy the item into your folder, not move it? That way it stays in the Inbox. Then you can manually delete the items from your Exchange Inbox or wait until the server deletes them automatically. Unless you can locally purge the Inbox after x days automatically.
Yikes, that will double my mail storage... it is a valid work around though.
I'll leave it open to see if a hack is possible, and treat that option as the worst case.

If you are using Exchange 2003 or later it should not increase the size. Exchange stores one copy and it just appearers as two to you. If you send an e-mail to ten people in your organization the server only stores one copy. However, this my not apply when users create copies intentionally. Check it out.
Thanks, Lew
Yup, we're on 2007.
Sorted, I'll change the rules.

I have an AT&T tilt. It seems like whenever I get an email and I check it on my Tilt, if I move that email from the inbox into its appropriate folder that later on I notice the email is marked as unread again.
If I leave it in the inbox this doesn't happen.
As an example, in the morning when I get up, I check all my email on my phone and then move them into the appropriate folder. But by the time I get to work and check my email on the computer I see that all the folders that I moved the emails too are bold and show that there is an unread message in them. When I check those folders I see the the unread emails are the ones I checked on my phone earlier in the morning and that I already read them.
This is probably something really simple, but it's annoying and I don't know how to fix it. I'd appreciate it if anyone could help me out. Thanks!

Anyone have any idea on how to fix this? Thanks!
Please? Anyone?
(Exchange) It's because in the AS settings you chose to have your desktop overide your device. This is popular because on older model ppc's with volatile memory if your device died you'd lose evrything when you resync'd via wireless sync with the device overiding the desktop.
(Hotmail, Yahoo, etc...) This also happens because the mail host overides the device. The only way to make the email stop is to perform the read on the host account site.
Thanks a lot for the explanation. That makes sense.
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
First off, thanks for this great site and enormous info.
I am new to winmo (got HTC Fuze a week back) and need some help from the experts for email setup on my phone. Have read a lot of posts on email setup and many on gmail, imap and push email but couldnt get my concern answered fully.
I want to setup Yahoomail (free) with all folders (~20) synced with the web version. what would be the best way addressing...
- all folders and sent mail synced in phone & web
- can all emails be on the memory card (8gb?) for easy search
- I have 1 more yahoo and 2 gmail accounts which would be nice to have on phone with all 4 accounts separate. (i know!)
- dont like the idea of forwarding to some mail2web, etc account
1. I thought YahooGo3.0 would be the best fit for me but now I realize that it does not support VGA yet.
2. Tried SEVEN which is great but it didnt syn all folders (SentMail for example). Also, where do messages get saved when using SEVEN?
3. Tried XpressMail but that syncs only Inbox
4. Can the inbuilt outlook be simply used to do this without syncing with desktop outlook?
Many thanks
Mayank

you can have multiple accounts. It sounds like you're opting out of exchange which is fine and it'll still sync. to sync all of the folders simply go into the inbox, menu - tools - manage folders and check all of them. 8gigs is a lot but it's a question of what you're syncing. In options you can put all of the attachments on your storage card. i think the default is message stay on the internal memory.
