Hey does anyone know how to get all the contacts that are listed in my Gmail account onto my phone so that when i compose new messages i dont have to type a person's entire email address?
It seems like there has to be a way but i can't quite figure it out.
Thanks!
I'm sticking my neck out a bit here, but I think this will work
Load up your Gmail account on your PC, and go to Contacts; over on the top right of the contacts display is an "Export" link. This opens a new window, with two choices - pick the one that says "export to Outlook" and then save the file it generates somewhere on your PC. If you don't want every single contact imported to the phone, edit the .CSV file with Notepad (or whatever) and delete the lines containing the contacts you don't want. When you're done editing, save the file back as a .CSC file with the same name. That's the easy bit, now comes some fun
Use ActiveSync to copy the .CSC file to somewhere on your phone - the Storage Card is probably as good a place as any......then,
....use DotFred's "PPC PIM Backup" utility - get it from HERE - on your phone and select "Restore" from the drop down list on the first screen. Then navigate to where you saved the .CSC file on your phone and select "Next". You will then see a screen similar to the one attached - make sure you select "Comma" as the field delimiter and then tap Next to import the contact data...
CAVEAT: If you have contacts already stored on your phone, use PPCPIMbackup to take a backup of them first.....just in case this procedure f*&ks things up completely (as I said at the beginning, it should work!!).
You should now have all your Gmail contacts on your phone and you can edit them with the phone's Contacts application so they look (maybe) a bit more presentable...
Hope this is of some help

Hi,
Using Gmail IMAP4 on my Vario III. I can send messages fine, and see them in my sent mail folder at gmail.com, but I can't see them in the sent mail folder in Pocket Outlook on the phone (it's empty).
Is this right? If not, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
go to email options then to the tab at the bottom that says message and one of the options is keep copies of sent email in sent folder.
Thanks, but it's already checked.
I've had a similiar issue using Windows live(the application) to check my hotmail account. I can see all my folders to move stuff to, but I can't actually retrieve any of the messages from any folder other then the inbox. I can however move things from my inbox to wherever.
If I use PIE I can get to them through the browser however.
Sorry, forgot the solution. Go to Tools > Manage Folders > and select the folders to sync..
Nice one. Thanks.

Worked for me as well. I had the same problem. Thank you pyro.
worked, thank you guys, but i am still wondering why microsoft did not just make this enabled by default (automatically sync all folders for any pop/imap account) :-\
The sync option works on Gmail folders as well..
I don't see my sent items in any of the email accounts I have. Does anyone have a solution to this?
I got the same problem. I can see them in my webmail, but somehow the phone doesn't sync this....
I'm having the same problem. Can anyone help with this?
Go to Mail in TouchFlo. Tap the "Inbox" in lower left hand corner. When you get to the list of mails, there is another "Inbox" in TOP left corner - this is a drop-down menu where all the mailboxes of your accounts (deleted items, drafts, inbox, outbox, sent items) can be accessed.
However,
I have a problem with this when the inbox is empty, and then the 'write messdage' icon on the TouchFlo Mail screen does not work either. Anyone know a fix for that?

HELP !!!
i am a new android user, came for iOS
i want a free way to transfer my over 300 notes :crying: to my new hTc one android 4.2.2 ?
N.B: the notes are also stored on outlook on my PC
i found a way to transfer the notes to .txt
using this method:
Export Outlook Notes to Document Files
There are a lot of people who want a free way to export their Outlook notes to separate document files. Here is a step by step method of exporting those notes. It may seem tricky, but it really is simple and should take all of 5 minutes to complete. The actual export happens so quickly you will be astonished. The notes will be exported into Word or text documents with the same name as the notes.
Please understand that Windows does not allow many special characters in file names, so you will need to manually remove any special characters like <.>:"/\|?* from your note name before the conversion. The following device names are also restricted from use as file names by Windows and should not be the name of a note: CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9. To help you out, the code I provided will automatically replace any "/" or "\" characters with a "-". The rest is up to you to rename manually or you may alter the code to convert even more restricted characters or names.
Create a folder on the root (main part) your C: drive named "Notes". It is important that this folder be on the root of the C: drive.
Open Outlook.
After Outlook opens, click on the top bar of the Outlook window next to the name Microsoft Outlook.
Press ALT-F11 which will open Outlook's Visual Basic window. If it does not open, be sure you clicked on the top bar of the Outlook window and press ALT-F11 again.
On the top toolbar, click on Insert and Module. You should see a new window pane open labeled Project1, Module1.
Copy the code you find listed below in this article and paste it in the Module1 window pane. If you wish to export to a document that can be opened in Word (rich text format), use the NotesToRTF code. If you wish to export to text files, use the NotesToText code.
On the top toolbar, click on Run and then click on "Run Sub/Userform".
A window will pop up asking you to select the folder where your Outlook Notes are located. For most people, this will simply be your normal Outlook Notes folder. Select the Notes folder and then select OK. [More advanced users may select different note folders they may have created, following these steps over and over until all their notes are exported.]
The Notes will quickly be exported at this point. "Running" will appear next to "Microsoft Visual Basic" window name at the top of the screen and disappear when the notes are exported. You may see it flash for a second if you have just a few notes. For hundreds or thousands of notes, it will take longer. Wait for "Running" to go away and you may proceed.
Close the Microsoft Visual Basic window.
Close Outlook. You will receive a popup window asking if you want to save the VBA project. Answer No.
Look in the Notes folder on the C: drive to find your notes.
If you received a "Run time error", click End and then check the following:
Did you use a restricted character or name in a note?
Did you REALLY name the folder Notes in the ROOT of the C: drive?
Fix the folder name and then go back to the Microsoft Visual Basic window and click on Run and then "Run Sub/Userform" again.
The code is proven and should work every time when you follow the directions. If it still fails, I suspect you may have a corrupted Outlook data file. There are many Hub pages that address how to fix the problem. Simply search for "scanpst" and follow the directions listed in the page.
NotesToRTF Code
Sub NotesToRTF()
Set myNote = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI").PickFolder
For cnt = 1 To myNote.Items.Count
noteName = Replace(Replace(myNote.Items(cnt).Subject, "/", "-"), "\", "-")
myNote.Items(cnt).SaveAs "c:\notes\" & noteName & ".rtf", OlSaveAsType.olRTF
Next
End Sub
NotesToText Code:
Sub NotesToText()
Set myNote = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI").PickFolder
For cnt = 1 To myNote.Items.Count
noteName = Replace(Replace(myNote.Items(cnt).Subject, "/", "-"), "\", "-")
myNote.Items(cnt).SaveAs "c:\notes\" & noteName & ".txt", OlSaveAsType.olTXT
Next
End Sub
then i put them onto the phone and opened the notes through the phone using a file manager
if anyone has any other ideas please reply
Thanks for sharring this.
A good file manger i found and now use is called ''File Expert HD'' from Play Store.
Issue with Stock Email app; Sub-folders of "Inbox" don't show up and wont sync
I am having an issue with the stock email app on my TMobile Note 8. I am using an active exchange account for work in which I have many sub-folders under "Inbox."
On all previous versions of the email app on previous galaxies, I had to set the sync behavior of those sub-folder manually or they would not sync and I would not get emails sent to those folders.
On the Note 8 email app, I am not able to access the sub-folder's sync settings as the interface has changed and only the base "Inbox" folder is shown. And of course, the old default behavior of sub-folders being set to never sync is still there, so I don't get emails sent to those folder and there is no way to adjust their sync setting.
Anyone else run into this or am I missing something?
Thanks!
I am sorry I can't help you with Samsung email app but have you tried Nine?
I have used it for 4 years and it works great, sync subfolders, signature with a jpg etc...
It is also compatible with Dex.
I'm having the same issue with my work Galaxy s8.

I found a way to get them to at least show up - tap on the three lines at the top (hamburger menu), and long tap on Inbox, create subfolder. Call it whatever you want and hit ok. All my subfolders showed up from there. From there, you can select which folders to sync in the normal folder sync menu.
I am able to get to the subfolders ; you need to go to setting in the email app; then pick the account; then click on folder sync and pick the folders. After you need to look at all folders and you should see them sync'd

Sorry for the necro-bump but did you ever get this working because I'm having the exact same issue on my Galaxy A8.

Do you still have the same phone? Is it still working like this because that option isn't even in my version of the app (v.5.0.05.9).

Yes, it was a case of the user interface not being intuitive for me. When in the left pane of the email app, at the bottom there is a section that says "All Folders". There is a carrot that you can click on to expand it. This is where I got tripped up. Under "All Folders" you have to click the "Inbox" folder, it will then expand and show your sub-folders of your inbox.

Oh, yeah I already knew how I can access the sub-folders The issue for me is I cannot get them to sync and show notifications as email arrives, as it does with mail that goes to the main Inbox. Sync schedule is set to "Auto (when received)" but it only seems to register to the Inbox and I cannot find any settings specific for folders as u/spidey44 suggested.

Are you able to access the "Folder Sync" setting under "Exchange ActiveSync Settings"? In that setting you can expand "Inbox" by clicking on it and your sub-folders should be displayed. Next to each is a toggle switch that enables sync for that particular sub-folder. They default to off. The sync behavior is set in the menu above "Folder Sync".
You can access this menu by opening the left panel and tapping the settings gear, then tap on the email address you are targeting and scroll near the bottom.
I think that is what you are looking for?

Sorry, I totally missed that you used Exchange. I'm using regular IMAP and it does not give a separate sync-option for folders/sub-folders Thx, for the help though. I have mailed Samsung-support about it but not putting faith in them being able to help much. Probably a bug in the app not giving proper sync-options.
