No notification / alertsound for direct push from exchange subfolders - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Everyone,
I am a recent addition to the WinMo community and to the X1 bunch in particular.
I have been messing about with my new Xperia (hardSPL, Custom ROM etc. etc.) and I seem to have run into a shortcoming that is WinMo related and not ROM related.
Apparently (I have searched the forums for this quite extensively) there is no way to have a notification (sound or vibration) to inform me when an email has been pushed from an exchange server directly to a subfolder of my inbox, based on a server side rule (i.e. having all the emails sent from my office go directly to my inbox subfolder that is labeled Work Emails).
I am sure plenty of people here have exchange accounts with subfolders, so there must be a solution. Moreover, I cannot understand how this feature is present on email clients for Symbian devices for Microsoft Exchange but is not supported in Microsoft's own Pocket Outlook (RoadSync for Symbian has this feature).
So far I have found the following 2 work-arounds (i would not define them solutions):
1) FlexMail 4. I have not tested it myself but apparently it does notify subfolder emails. However I don't like the idea to spend money on an application that cannot be integrated in TF3D or SPB.
2) http://www.blackmonlabs.com/faq.html; This is a small app specifically ment to fix this issue. However it is not compatible with any of the shells for WinMo 6.1.
So here I am asking the community the following question:
Is there any way to fix this?
Is this fixed in WinMo 6.5?
I am not a programmer, but it would appear bizarre that there is no way to associate a notification to an email, simply because it does not appear in the inbox but in a subfolder of the inbox.
Please help a newb ;-)
P.S. I don't mind paying for a solution. As long as I don't have to give up any functionality of the ROM simply to get the phone to vibrate when I receive an email to my subfolders.

Mate, I understand your frustration!
I have found this a pain since I had my first windows mobile device (Orange SPV - and the 14 devices since!) and have given up on M$ ever fixing it (if they see it as a problem!).
To answer your question, No it is not working in 6.5 either.
Here's hoping that it will in Mobile 7 but I ain't gonna hold my breath!

@Sganatra
This is really bad.
I am hoping someone is going to post and shed some light. What I don't understand is the fact that from a coding point of view this would seem as a trivial matter. All that is required is to extend the settings applicable to the inbox to all the subfolders, in such a way that if a new message in the inbox triggers a vibration and graphical notice the same applies to a new message in a subfolder.
However, the fact that there seems to be no fix for this is very problematic....I have 5-6 subfolders for my email account. All the business people I know use multiple folders...I would go insane if i did not have an automatic way of sorting incoming messages....
I guess I will have to work out a way to get around this problem.
Can someon confirm that FlexMail 4 positively notifies emails to subfolders?
Any other email client for WinMo is most welcome as well.
Thank you

Ok, someone has suggested installing second today and using the blackmonlab software therein.
However, this still appears to be a less then optimal solution.
I am thinking about putting a bounty on this, I am willing to pay for a cab/registry fix/hack ....whatever really, that will give me notifications/alerts for email received in my exchange subfolders.

Hey, m8, I am facing your same problem.. It is unbelievable! Did you find any solution?
Thanks

Hi All
I use "X826" Rom and get notification as soon as mail is send from Exchange server to my X1.
Work 100% - Best Rom that i have used

Automatically download images in Outlook Mobile?

I use Pocket Outlook for my email to a great extent. I am sick and tired of clicking on two links to see the images in each email.
Switching to another email software package would be considered, but which one of them can connect and synchronize with my desktop outlook?
all the third parties one use the default databases so it syncs the same way, the application just displays the data better and gives more options.
Not true
All the third party pocket outlook replacements do not use the same outlook databases at all.
Still looking for either how to turn this on by default or for suggestions on actrual third party replacements that do a good job and do use the same DB...
I agree Kruse,
I have not found any 3rd party email SW yet that is all inclusive with the Outlook contacts database.
On a somewhat similar topic, would you or anyone else on this thread know how I can delete or turn off the (Mobile Outlook) feature that currently duplicates all of my sent emails and returns them back to my inbox on My Kaiser/TytnII? I've searched the forum for about three days and found nothing so far on this topic.
If I try to delete them the next time I Send/Receive they just show up again, which is ultra frustrating. The same sent emails (that I deleted) keep reappearing until some pre-determined setting in either the mobile or PC version of MS Outlook (expires I guess) and/or decides it is time for those emails to not register in the inbox as new mail anymore.
Could this somehow be an Outlook setting on my PC?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely
Sent items in inbox - solution (gmail, mapi)
You are not using the "recent:" setting, look into the setup instructions in google, that will get rid of the sent stuff appearing in the inbox. Basically, in your settings on the handheld only, the email address you set up in your configuration should not be
<whatever>@gmail.com
but instead:
recent:<whatever>@gmail.com

I note that your sig shows a version 1 hardSPL. Do you still use this SPL now with your 1.65 series radio? Have you seen the *Hopeless* GPS after 6.1 update thread yet? If you use a SPL designed for WM 6.0 with a WM 6.1 setup, you may encounter numerous problems. Checking the thread referred to above should help get your GPS up and running again

Question regarding calendar notifications

Hi, i have a Traditional Chinese TyTn II. I have this weird problem, where my calendar notifications goes crazy, and i get like 20 notifications of the same appointment, even after i dismiss it or close it, or sometimes even after 5 hours after the time.
I sync my Tytn to my company's exchange server, so that my be the issue? If not, how can i make it stop?
Thanks in advance,
Newbie in WM6, Luis
How many partnerships have you created with your pda? Are you setting any rules on sync? This could happen when you have different partnership on the pda and is exchanging the same information.
WM5 and 6 both have this problem. I have used a freeware called Scarybear Check Notifications (which I found on XDA), and right now I use a software called MemMaid. Anytime I softboot, I automatically check for "duplicates", and delete them. And for good measure, I check them before bedtime (to ensure my alarms aren't overloaded). My guess is you have a pile up if you haven't been using a program to check for duplicate alarms/notifications/etc.
Sorry for the late reply. I was out on a trip and did not check back on your answers.
I'm syncing only to my company's exchange server. I did at first sync with exchange and my own computer, but then i stopped doing so, because i thought it was that that was creating this problem. I disabled all notifications on my exchange server, and did so with the kaizer, but, it means that i have to be looking at the screen to see what i've got to do (not that many things, but...)
So, if I install the duplicate checker, i can get rid of these?
Thanks,
Luis

Link mail screen to outlook mail

On the TF3D sceen, is there any way to link the mail button to the outlook mail instead of the "internet" mail?
Thanks
Err... If you set up your Outlook mail.. it would work.
If you set up your Outlook Mail and KEEP the Internet Mail (as well), then you will have both of them being accessed from the TF3D mail button (two envelopes on the right, instead of one)
If you set up your Outlook Mail and DELETE the Internet Mail, then you will have one envelope on the right .. and THAT will be the one for Outlook Mail.
To set up your Outlook mail, Tap on TF3D mail button
Then tap on Inbox
Then - Menu - Tools - Options
Now, tap on Outlook E-mail and enter the settings.
I actually tried to configure the Outlook Mail account (time pass) for gmail.
I couldn't get it to work.. (for some reason - sure I did something wrong).
Tried to sync Outlook Mail with my PC using Active Sync... some certificate validity issues came up..
Then, just decided to chuck it.
Had two envelopes appearing on the side.. just went ahead and cleared up everything from the registry - related to the mail set ups and set up my Gmail as the Internet Mail again.
I have set up my Outlook, and as you can see from screenshot, it's got mail in it, however, if I delete my POP3 email, the TF3D screen shows no accounts in the mail screen...
Anyone got any idead how to link the Outlook Inbox to the TF3D Mail screen??
Your email notification icon at the top looks quite suspicious... do you have another email client (such as BB Connect or Intellisync Mobile Suite) installed? I used Intellisync before and this is the icon I received and it also wasnt appearing in TF3D.
Let me know if you are using Intellisync- there is a work-around

It's much better than Outlook Mobile isn't it? Nice to have REAL push mail
The reason TF3D isnt working is because it only recognises Outlook Mobile and not IMS and you do not have an Outlook account setup. The workaround (I'm hoping to find a better way) is to create an Outlook account through Activesync/Mobile Device Center on your PC. I've done some tests and there is no conflict between the two.
The downside is that there is no real integration between TF3D/Outlook and IMS so IMS is essentially working in Parallel. What I am trying to figure out is how to map TF3D to IMS so that when you click the envelope it takes you to IMS and not Outlook. At least with this workaround, you will get the best of both worlds with TF3D showing you your emails and IMS giving you the real push mail functionality which Outlook lacks.
Let me know if it works for you

Excellent. I'm now showing the envelope in the Mail TF3D screen. I presume that with this workaround, all I will ever get is the "Click to view message" message, and not the first few lines of the message that you get with a POP3 account or a proper outlook account. (see attached)
From reading your message I am also guessing you are using version 8 or 9 of IMS. I currently look after 3 servers all using varieties of version 6. I have just created a new server with version 9 which installs the "intellisync" suite of application on the device. I've tried it on an XDA Exec, XDA Orbit (and some nokia and Sony Ericsson devices). I haven't tried it on the Diamond yet. How is it on that?

Correct.
I am using version 9 which works like a charm. I work for the local operator here in Dubai and am currently one of a few internal testers for IMS before we launch it as a service. I find it to be very functional and light on resources- highly highly recommended. Beats all competition including Blackberry (I've also set it up to get a personal POP3 account in much the same way as BB Internet does)
As for how much of the message appears in the TF3D, this depends on how much you tell Outlook to download of the message- all you need is a couple of KBs at the most to get the first few lines in the envelope.
Hey guys
I'm sorry but this will be probably an off-topic and stupid question but when you receive an email on your Diamond does it look like on your pc and can you view emails that have lots of graphics in them ??
I'm really sorry but this is my first WM device and i would like to know things like that
It depends on what kind of email account you are setting up on the device. If it's an Exchange account, the server has to be running Exchange 2007 for you to get HTML email on your device. Internet Email and IMAP display HTML without any problems.
well i've been using maill2web and it just emails didn't look like they should. Maybe you can tell me where can i find a good exchange server or something like that ??

Well... there's many to choose from depending on your needs and budget (not sure of any free ones but you'll probably find some out there- although possibly not because Exchange is not cheap to install or maintain). Anyway a simple Google will give you many results http://www.google.ae/search?hl=en&q=hosted+exchange&meta=
Anyone found the solution yet ?
Noticed the solution to sync to a phony account - But I would really prefer to sort this via a registry tweak or similar.
I need to roll this out to a large number of corporate users, so the phony tweak is kind of hard to roll out compared to a registry modification.
Anyone?...
Its kind of frustrating to see the number of new emails in the notification area of TF3D but not actually being able to use the TF3D envelope function.

Hello,
I tried to find a solution, too. But up to now without success.
Does anyone know, where TF3D gets it's information from?

I also had an intense view at the registry, couldn't find any link to IMS/Outlook key...
I had a phonecall with nokias tac, telling me they will release a patch to solve this problem, not only to see unread mails at the TF3D - to have the original functionality of the tf3d mailicon workin. He could not tell me when the patch
will be released but it WILL come...
...but I'm very sure it could be solved with the correct Regkey...

Sorry to drag up an old thread - I'm currently using Intellisync and would also like to use TF3D to view my emails ...
Did any kind of patch or regedit get released or worked out?
Meanwhile, I'll try the work-around above in this thread if I can work out what to do exactly.

Any news on this ?
Any sight of that Intellisync patch ?

Pushmail notification on all mail folders

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)

Will WP8 carry over email issues with EAS to Exchange Server 2003?

Ok so I have a Lumia 900 and am considering the 920. What would kill the deal are issues with Exchange Server 2003 (work uses it, so I don't have a choice). I can't download attachments, and certain emails (the most critical ones) come through as having blank bodies (with no preview). I can't really find what the issue is with the blank emails, as I've been searching for a while. I'm thinking maybe the emails are HTML format but I thought they were rtf but whatever.... Server-side IT has made it clear the emails are going to be served up how they are, period. The emails can be viewed in Outlook 2007 and 2010 without appearing blank, and if they are forwarded from my phone (where they appear blank), they will forward as blank emails no matter where I send them. The long and short of it is that they don't work and I need them to. Here seems to be a site that maps out some of the known incompatibilities: Exchange ActiveSync Considerations When Using Windows Phone 7 Clients
So, my question is, will WP8 use a different EAS client which will alleviate the issues seen between WP7.* and Exchange Server 2003?

Interesting question. I will post this internally with the Exchange product group and see what I get back. I have a few clients myself that are using Exchange 2003 and this would be a deal killer for me as well.

Thanks, I appreciate that.
Also, if there are any viable workarounds for the HTML mail thing, I'd be all ears about that too. I've been holding on to WP for a while hoping something would come through resolving whatever incompatibility is responsible for that, but no dice so far. I'm not sure what the deal is with attachments, sometimes they work and sometimes they fail, so I'm not sure if that's resolved or if the PEBKAC, but that's a much less severe issue for me anyway.
Bottom line is I've been squeaking by without having to be able to read these emails on my phone, but it has caused some issues for sure. I'd love to get the 920, but unfortunately this is a deal breaker issue. Sucks. I'm really hoping the EAS client in WP8 is reworked and free of that particular incompatibility.
Giving this post a bump as I would like to find out whether WP8 has the same issues regarding the download of attachments in combination w/ Exchange 2003 and EAS.
Would be great if Microsoft provided an update for this article (http://social.technet.microsoft.com...tions-when-using-windows-phone-7-clients.aspx), but I guess we'll be quicker finding out ourself.
I have had my 920 for about 3 weeks now and I am using connected to my work office 2003 server without any issues.
Never had any problems with blank email or attachement.
There was a bug a while back that caused replies and forwarded emails on Exchange 2003 server accounts to have blank bodies but that was a long time ago and I'm fairly certain the OS build the lumia 900 came with had this fix in it. I imagine your phone has the latest updates so it can't be that.
It might be something with the servers Exchange configuration that's causing this because except for that bug I mentioned I've never had this issue with my 2 Exchange 2003 server accounts. No way of knowing if the problem has been fixed without getting a new phone on that Exchange server.
I think the attachments might have started working at some point, but HTML formatted mail did not work up until the point where I got rid of the 900 a couple weeks ago. I don't know of an update since then which would have fixed it but emails in the format generated by my company's issue tracking system all always arrived with blank bodies. Pretty sure it is the HTML format incompatibility confirmed by MS themselves.
Those same emails arrive on iOS, Android, and the desktop client just fine. I've inquired directly with MS about whether WP8 would be capable, but I've received nothing back. Server side IT confirmed it wasn't anything on their end (taken with a grain of salt of course but they're pretty competent). I guess I could go to the AT&T store and set up my email on one of the display units to check but I just decided to get a different phone.
I'd still like to know if it'll be an issue though. Who knows, I might pick up the 920 in the near future if I end up not keeping the Note2.

What type of issue tracking system are you using? Might be an interesting question for other people considering the combination.
We call it SOFA, not sure if that's the name of the engine itself or if it's our own acronym. I'd have to check.
