Hello,
I don't understand what is the difference between these 2 icones in Pocket Outlook. (see attachment)
somebody can explain to me... i find nothing in doc or on microsoft website.
thanks,

Two mail icons
I have often wondered the same thing. From their behavior I beleive the one with the hand connects the PDA to the mail server and then just checks the mail server for new mail and grabs new mail headers. The icon with the 2 envelopes seems to download any new mail with attachements according to policy and send any qued mail.
If you're just using POP accounts, these icons don't dramatically differ in funcionality, but if you're using an Exchange activesync mobile profile, the first button will connect you to the server and continue checking for new messages depending on your profile settings, and the second will just send/receive your mail once only.
Hi all,
I've just started using Exchange with my 8125. I have rules on the server that automatically move incoming mail to specific folders. This is great on the desktop because there is an "unread" mail folder that displays all of the unread mail.
The issue on the phone is that when a new mail arrives through exchange, it is moved automatically to the folder without any alerts. I actually have to dig down into the folder to realize that there's a new unread email.
- Is there anything equivelent to an "unread" folder on the WM5?
- Are there any 3rd party programs that will alert of new email and/or display the new emails?
- Are there betters ways/methods for accessing email?
Thank you in advance for your assitance!
Cheers!

Hello there Lu.
I too am learning Exchange. As someone who does not have an Exchange account at work (we use Groupwise) I signed up for a personal Exchange account. So between that and my pobox.com account I think I am spending a little over $100.00/yr on email. Plus data fees, etc. WOW!!
But on to your questions.........
The best that I have been able to find is that one can only get alerts on the Today screen when a message hits the "Inbox". So if you want to see if any of your other folders have gotten messages you'll have to navigate to them.
As for a universal "Unread" folder I know of no way to do that either. Hopefully someone here will correct me but I don't think so.
Regards,
David
I really need some help here.
I have a WM6 Moto Q9m. My challenge is with email, and notifications. First of all, I am using ActiveSync just fine with Exchange 2003 (soon to be 2007 ). I have configured a second email account for POP3 to a mailbox that I need to monitor 24x7. Here is what I can not figure out:
1. On the home screen (default vzw profile) I have the email shortcuts for each account to include "email (outlook)" SMS, MMS, and VMail. I do not have, nor can figure out how to get a shortcut for my POP3 mailbox. When I get a new email to my pop3 inbox, I get an audio notification, but I can not see at a glance how many items are unread in that pop3 mailbox like I can in the "Email" shortcut. In WM5, the pop3 mailbox would show on the home screen in addition to the default outlook mailobx.
2. I would really like to change the audio notification to be different for the pop3 mailbox, than the default outlook mailbox. As I am monitoring the pop3 mailbox 24x7, I would like to have a "pager" sound to differentiate the pop3 email notification from the default email notification.
I know there is someone that can shed some light here. I have searched the registry but can not figure these out! Thank You!
My work, unfortunately, uses Groupwise and I'm gonna get no support in getting a Groupwise mobile server or anything setup, so I'm stuck with syncing local for contacts and appts and tasks. I am, however, using and IMAP access to get my emails, and this works pretty well with the default Pocket Outlook email client.
One thing missing is that I have a couple of subfolders where I have rules that automatically direct emails from like my Boss or other people into the folder so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle of other stuff. However, I'm not getting notification when new emails are pulled into those folders. If I go into my email program I can see that I have new emails there, but I get the buzz or message icon that I have new emails. Is there anyway to make it so when new messages get pulled into the subfolders that I also get notified?
Ideally I'd REALLY like to stick with the default email program as I'm also using Mobile Shell and mobile shell apparently only integrates with the default email app.

I would like the same.
I have never found a fix to this issue and IIRC it is a limitation of the software.
I am using gmail so I just set up forward rules and dummy accounts. So I had account X with sub directory Y I have the email intended to Y get forwarded to account A and set A as a separate account. I dont know if this would work with mobile shell ( if it only looks at the outlook account)

It is indeed an Outlook issue. It only sends alerts on mails in the inbox. On my exchange server, the emails are redirected on the server before Outlook ever sees that they touch the inbox and thus no alert.
The only solution is some sort of third-party app, that would be nice.
If you're using Groupwise as your mail server, what is the email client you run on your workplace computer? And your workplace computer OS?
If your accessing Groupwise mail through Outlook on your work computer, your rules can be setup as client side instead of server side rules. If Groupwise behaves like a MS Exchange then your client side rules would only process when you're logged into your Outlook client. So when you're not in front of your PC, you wouldn't move your mail from your Inbox. Thus making them invisible to Pocket Outlook.
Or you could setup some special notification or delayed move rules. Again assuming you're using Outlook. Ornic InboxRules can be used to create some complex rules if you go that route. I haven't personally used it, but I used the predecessor to it called CaTrap to parse the sender, subject, and parts of the body into a another email and forward that via SMS to my phone.
If you can manage to get stuff to your Pocket Outlook Inbox, there are a few good tools that will give you advanced notification options on your phone. See this thread for details. Hope this helps to get you started.
You can see on http://www.magica.ro/pda_pocket_checkmail.php an application which solves your problem; it works together with ActiveSync and Outlook Mobile in order to alert users about unread mails in Inbox and Subfolders.
You can test it by downloading the demo version.
We published version 2.0 of CheckMail application.
New features are:
- displays messages on "Today Screen";
- audio alert when new messages are received;
- audio reminder if the new messages where not read (the interval when these verifications are made is selectable by user);
- by taping on CheckMail application, user can open Messaging application (Outlook);
- user can select in CheckMail application not to check Inbox (only subfolders).
Visit http://www.software.magicashop.ro/pda_pocket_checkmail.asp to see details and demo application.
When I look in the Windows program Messages I see SMS/MMS, Outlook mail and setup Email.
Now here's my problem. I sync (pushmail) with Intellisync. That works great, for many years now. My mail is stored in the Outlook mail-folder.
I'd like to use TouchFLO's Mail but that does not work. I see in the big bottom-icon this envelope with the number of unread mail messages in a circle.
But the screen says: No accounts.
Which means that this mailprogram of TouchFLO works half with Outlook mail: it only counts unread mail, but cannot handle it.
Or is it possible to integrate?
Thanks.
