[Q] Email client and Reply-to field - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Let's assume we have an email from [email protected]. In Reply-To: field of that email we have [email protected]. What address will Windows Phone 8 choose when I reply? The one from the From: field ([email protected]) or, how it should be, the second one ([email protected])? WP7 responds directly to noreply mail. How is it in WP8?

Sending email only

Hi,
Is there any email client application that can be used to SEND EMAIL only (to an SMTP server) ?
I know that there is an email client in the Kaiser (from the Messaging), but I dont like it because I cannot send email only. The email client will ALWAYS perform receive operation (Send/Receive menu item).
Anyone know?
Thanks
I think WebIS FlexMail can do that. They have a trial verisons.

New Gmail via IMAP Server Questions

I'm sure most people have already seen this, http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/...ly-your-mobile-email-client-and-gmail-fall-i/
I configured this per directions on the Gmail site and now have it listed as one of my email accounts. I can even send messages, but can not yet receive. Also, it hangs on the "Looking For Changes" screen and never says "finished" as my other email accounts do. I am wondering if anyone else has tried to configure yet, and if anyone is having luck?
Works ok for me on an HTC Touch. Have you enabled IMAP in Gmail? It's under settings >> Forwarding and POP/IMAP. If you don't see IMAP, it's not been setup for your account yet by Google.

I answered my own question, helps if you just show a little patience, never been my strong suit! For anyone else as impatient as me, a few tips. Make sure you manually configure your email settings. If not, it will not pick up the incoming server as an IMAP server. So, long story short simply follow the below instructions and voila, you will be up and running in no time.
Configuring other mail clients
You can use the following information to configure IMAP with many mail clients. If you encounter difficulties, we suggest contacting your mail client's customer support department for further instructions -- we're unable to provide assistance with configuring mail clients not listed here.
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - requires SSL: imap.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 993
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587
Account Name: your Gmail username (including @gmail.com)
Email Address: your full Gmail email address ([email protected])
Password: your Gmail password
I noticed that some of my emails aren't fully downloading in IMAP mode. I switch it back to POP and the same email comes up completely. In IMAP mode, the body of the email is blank. Any ideas?
It sounds like you are only downloading the headers. Depending on which mail client you are using, you need to change the settings to download both the header and body of each message, or you can download them as you view them (usually by right-clicking a message and selecting "download").
Not working for me... Guess they havent updated my account to work with the the new IMAP servers!
In Progress
I have 2 accounts. 1 is updated to include IMAP, The other isn't.
Keep in mind if not already mentioned, Language selected in settings must be English (US).

Nope. Made sure the selection was to download the entire email and the entire attachment. Which brings me to another topic. Even when in POP3 mode with those selections made, I still have to manually download the email and attachments.
But, no, still unable to see the emails. It's funny though because it indicates that the entire file was downloaded.

Q: Exchange Email goes as Text / How to access Exchange Address book.

Hello guys, I have a quick question. I am using Outlook Web Access to sync with my work Exchange 2003 account.
When I draft a new mail and send it to my exchange account. The mail is received normally (I meant Rich Text or whatever you want to call it). In other words I have all the Font formating options available when I reply that email.
But when I reply to an email via my device, it is sent as plain text. I hope you guys can understand what I am saying here.
Is there a way to make sure that my emails always go in rich text instead.
My other question is... How do I search my Exchange address book. In WM6.5, compose new email in my exchange account and I hit on the 'To', it use to open up the Exchange address book. I am not sure what is the process on the WP7.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
If I send an email from the phone to my Exchange mailbox it arrives as HTML when opened in Outlook 2010.
Also, when sending an email from the phone, as soon as I start typing in the To field I get a list of matching names in a box below as well as the option "search Outlook Directory" - which actually means search the Global Address List

Thank you for your response.
I am not getting the option for Search Outlook Directory when I start typing a name in the address book. I just get the list of names from my phone book.
Is your Outlook Sync via Outlook Web Access or directly with your exchange via your company's support?
Regarding the HTML mail... Well, If I'm sending a new email from my phone, it does send the mail in HTML format. But when I'm replying to an email, it sends it in Text format.
Can you clarify the above. Thanks.
I'm connecting directly to Exchange 2010 using Exchange Activesync.
Outlook always honours the format of the original email when replying - is this maybe what you are seeing with the email client on the phone ?

Hmm... I think thats the difference. I set it up by selecting the Outlook option instead of going Advanced and Using Exchange Active Sync. Actually I did not even know that option was there until you mentioned it.
I'll try that route and get back to you.
EDIT: Well, the issue is the same. I still cannot get to search the Exchange Address book / Global address book. The only difference I see from your set up to mine is, that you are syncing to Exchange 2010 while I am Syncing to Exchange 2003.
No, I also chose the Outlook option.

Exchange 2010 has many changes over 2003 and support for mobile devices, you probably cannot access the GAL in the same way as 2010 presents it to mobile devices.
My HD2 never integrated it but I could search it - the EAS client for Andriod allowed me to search that address space on Ex2003/2007 - I assume 2010 improves this support in WP7.

[Q] How to choose\manually enter outgoing email account

Hi All,
I don't have my work email address set up as one of my email accounts on my Capitvate. On the rare occasion that I send emails to my work, I would like to be able to compose the email using my work email address rather then sending it from a personal email account.
Is there a way to choose or manually enter my work email address when sending emails to my office?
Thanks in advance!!!
yes, you can do that ... when you compose the email, you can actually click the email box next to "from", then you can select the email address you want to send this email.
