No notification / alertsound for direct push from exchange subfolders?

Hi there!
I searched the forum using google - but couldnt find a solution for my problem: I am using an exchange server with directpush on my WM 6.1 (no thrills v3 rom)... notification works perfect when the new mail is in the standard inbox -> but when my server side filter rules move the new mail into a subfolder, then my mobile device doesnt alert me that a new mail arrived!
I HAVE already marked the responding subfolders as "synced" (mobile outlook -> extras -> manage folders) but still no alert for those folders?
Any suggestions are highly appreciated!

You are right, there's no solution!
At least not when you use WM Outlook.
Only workaround is to use FlexMail. (Or maybe another 3rd party app)

Hm Flexmail ok... - are u using this one? Any experiences compared to pocket outlook? What about exchange implementation (like scheduler - time coordination between participants etc) and traffic?

No, I don't use FlexMail. Sorry, can't help you with that.

I tested Flexmail: Notification functions with every sort of account except MAPI and so except the communication with the Exchange server. Too bad
Can this be true? If we want to use push-mail / contacts / whatever together with our exchange server, then we cannot use subfolders and rulesets because only the basefolder will pop up a notification?
Is there no update / patch for pOutlook?

Try Watchflag, works with built in email client in windows mobile and allows to alert on subfolders. $20 though.

Yeah, I had this same problem, too. I have a Windows Mobile 6 device syncing with Microsoft Exchange. I have server-side rules set up to automatically route emails to different folders, which are synced.
The solution? Well, I couldn't find one, so I wrote one:
http://www.blackmonlabs.com/
It's a lightweight Today screen plugin that will display all your unread emails, in all your folders and accounts. As you read your mail, the display will automatically update. Also, you can configure each mail account to have its own alert as new messages arrive.
The free version supports alerts and sum-total emails for each account. (like the Messaging plug-in, but includes all your unread emails, not just the inbox)
For the $10 activation fee, you get the ability to have the today screen break out the folders with unread messages, so you can navigate directly there.
Cheers!

Any chance this could be implemented for HTC users? In HTC sense, there is no homescreen ;(

Mutiple idetities (from address) - For Gmail/IMAP support

Hi, I searched long and hard to see if anybody has found a way (or any application) to do this.
This is what I'm looking for,
I forward all my mails (from 5 diff accounts) to a single gmail account and then authorize this gmail account to send mail from the other accounts.
and I use Identities in Thunderbird to do this on a pc
But I'm looking for a way to do this on a WM6 device. It might be either a tweak or an application.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. As of now I can check all my mails but cannot reply back to them from the intended from address

Yahoomail with all folders sync on Fuze

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.

Native Exchange email client(s)

I have a Vodafone Magic, thus no Exchange capability. I tried TouchDown, couldn't get it to work at all, and was on the verge of flashing my ROM in order to install something with native Exchange support until I found this thread over on the Dream forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536727
They've stripped out the Mail.apk file from the MyTouch ROM (which they found over here in Sapphire land!). The APK file installs and runs fine on my Vodafone/Google branded model using Apps Installer. You'll have a new email program called "Work Email" which will happily run side by side with the GoogleMail app or indeed the crappy built in Email app. No contacts, no calendar, but proper Exchange push email in a clean, no frills interface.
I thought I'd share this with people because it's not in an obvious place where people on the Sapphire/Magic boards would find it easily (and also so I can track it down quickly myself in the future!)
As an aside, am I right in thinking that there are several HTC-branded Exchange clients for the Magic? We've got
* "Work Email", which is a separate app, and which comes with the MyTouch flavoured Magic devices. This is email only.
* a version of the main email app which supports ActiveSync along with the more usual POP3 and IMAP, and which I believe comes with Asian market Magics. This does Contacts and Calendar.

Thats too bad you couldn't get Touchdown to work. That little app is so wonderful. It has tons of features and even supports its own set of widgets for tasks, inbox and calender.

Yes, Touchdown works great for me too. I'm 99% sure that your problem is related to incorrect settings you made (I did the same). Check out the Touchdown Google group. The TD devs answer every question, most likely the same day. Have never seen such a close support.

This is fantastic. I have touchdown working (i had to use domain\username to get it to work) but it costs $29. This is free! if the calendar can be added then that would make it perfect.

Just like to confirm something...does the Work Email app has activesync capabilities?

Wonder if you could help me with my touchdown config..
My company us running Ms Exchange 2003 SP 2 server with a self-signed certificates. From the advance config screen, I know that the activesync status is ready. i've also loaded the client cert. I also able to see my folders from my the choose folder screen, so I assume that I've the correct configuration.
The problem is that I can't get my inbox to sync but my sent-mail folder is sync and also I'm able to sent emails..
Any hint?

i'm no longer using touchdown, so i can't check the specific settings, but have you checked the settings to make sure it is checking for new emails automatically as they arrive rather than manually or after a certain period of time?

I finally get touchdown to work after emptying my inbox folder ..

I don't see why you're all talking about Touchdown when the topic was created about the native push email support.
Back on topic, I've been using the "work email" as it comes built into Cyanogens ROMs which are of course compatible with the Magic. It works very well and I'd much prefer to use this than an installed app.

remote provisioning
You may or may not be able to connect to your exchange server using "Work Email" app. If your exchange admins require that your phone has been remotely provisioned you won't be able to use this app.
Touchdown guys sorted this out. That's why I paid the money for a great app. Worth every cent.

[Q] Very Honest Advice Neede

Hi, I have the chance to buy an unlocked/unbranded Galaxy S, but I need your advice about the following:
a. Exchange Mail/Calendar/Contact sync, this is a deal braker for me, the only experience that I have with android was the Milestone, with the Milestone using the mail program or TouchDown was imposible to make my exchange account work, mail worked sometimes, calendar and contact never.
My company use Exchange 2010 with enforced security, I have no problems using it on my symbian devices (E71 and now N97 mini), of course WinMo phones also work without problem the same as iPhone (my wife work with me and her iPhone works), I have no partners with android phones to check with them. Asking anything to my IT is not an option, my company is large (+250K employees) and they won´t make exceptions.
b. Can I use hotmail via IMAP or only POP? (please, don´t suggest to use Gmail, I also use Gmail but need access to Hotmail)
c. My country is not android market "friendly", any experience using Market Enabler to access the market and buying on it?
Many many thanks for your answers. Regards.

I can only answer to C:
Use MarketAccess:
http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess
And Eris Market Fix (found in Android Market, to see the protected apps).
I have been using these on 2.1 and now 2.2 and they are working perfectly.
So glad that I have been able to buy apps!

I can only reply to b:
imap works with the stock client but you're better off with K9 from the market (it's free) as it supports imap push and works well.

For b. you can use gmail (a. I'm not sure but you can try it)
Let me explain:
On gmail Settings > Accounts and Import
In Send mail as:
Click on Send mail from another adress (follow the steps)
Then under:
Check mail using POP3:
Click on Add POP3 email account (follow the steps)
Now you will be able to recieve and send message from and to your hotmail account.
If you don't want to do it this way look on community.seven.com for their mail app

NB! Your company Exchange administrators could (and should) in any time to exclude any phone OS to synchronize according to the company policy for security or another reason.
Question a:
- this should not be possible in the Eclair native eMail application (version 2.1 of Android). This might be possible in paid applications, if they have full MAPI compatibility.
- this should be better possible in the Froyo (version 2.2 of Android). Don't know if it works out of box, but...:
Exchange support
Improved security with the addition of numeric pin or alpha-numeric password options to unlock device. Exchange administrators can enforce password policy across devices.
Remote wipe: Exchange administrators can remotely reset the device to factory defaults to secure data in case device is lost or stolen.
Exchange Calendars are now supported in the Calendar application.
Auto-discovery: you just need to know your user-name and password to easily set up and sync an Exchange account (available for Exchange 2007 and higher).
Global Address Lists look-up is now available in the Email application, enabling users to auto-complete recipient names from the directory.
Exchange information from http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html.

there is also TouchDown 2.0 (paid) for Android that is vastly improved over TouchDown 1.0
back to hotmail account, it works great with the Samsung push Email & IM program, i have all my hotmail accounts real & fake ones all running simultaneously.
but as metioined above if you'd like more funtionality then you might be better off with K9 (free) mail app.

the samsung modified email app push works for you? I only checked with the stock firmware i had (JF3) and didn't have push for imap
btw: i'm personally not a lot in favor of importing stuff to gmail. that's embrace and extend at it's best: they read all data for their statistics. So ok it's a google os with a lot of such stuff but i'd rather separate some things when possible. (note:k9 is giving full satisfaction, just wondering about stock)

yes i'm using the Samsung Push Email as my main email app for all my email accounts, including google
4 accounts from hotmail
3 accounts from yahoo
12+ accounts from gmail
i hardly use my PC for email now since i got the phone, it's amazing!

Many thanks to all, one thing that Android doesn´t lack is user´s support. Since the N8 is delayed again I ordered the Galaxy S to give it a try.

I can respond in general that if you going to use Galaxy frequently with GPS, WIFI, Email then carry your charger or USB plug.
I found that even with light usage the battery needs to be charged everyday which I find it that I cant use it as my main phone as I travel a lot and I need more than 2 day with light usage of phone.
