I have added the attendee that is coming to the meeting and its supposed to send a message about it right.
But when I go to messages and send recieve messages...
The email that the person is recieving just has the title for the subject with no times and dates, is this right?
afaik meeting request work on outlook to outlook only [i.e. outlook on a ppc and outlook on the desktop] a quick workaround is to add the details under note tab. that way when the email is sent to a non outlook based account [i.e. yahoo or google email] the details can be seen as text.
why does it have an option to send requests through hotmail then ?
only certain clients support appointment requests then obviously...so this would be a feature of pOutlook or derivative products. I admit it would be nice, a must if you're in a company like mine that use it (although not very much).

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.
Hi Everybody,
I recently got TP2 rhodium. The 1st WM system for me.
I tried to use Outlook in a "natural" way but I found some simple things I can't do.
Explain.
I have 3 accounts in my phone:
- "Outlook", which is synced with my company PC via ActiveSync.
- A "work account", that I use to receive and send emails using my company ISP (i.e. [email protected]) when I am away.
- A "personal account", that I use to receive and send emails using my personal ISP (i.e. [email protected]) when I am away.
Everything works: Outlook sync, work send-receive emails, personal send-receive emails.
The most simple thing I expect I can do is:
1) I sync Outlook via Activesync. So I get an updated copy of my pc inbox/outbox in my TP2. Including emails I didn't read yet.
2) I go away, get in the inbox of my phone outlook account and read emails. There's one I need to reply immediately!
3) I reply to that email, but...
the reply goes into the outgoing box but it remains there. It will be sent the next time I'll sync, but it will be next week.
I didn't find a way to use one of the 2 other accounts to send that email from inside the "outlook account". It's a reply, so I have to write it inside that account.
The most natural thing would be:
- an option in the "from" field allowing me to use one of the two accounts
- send the email
- watch it going in the outbox of my "outlook account", so that it will be synced the next time.
in addition,
if I send an email from my "work account", it will go into its outbox, but I cannot move it to the "outlook account" outbox, so that it can't be synced when I connect to my pc!!
I suppose many people encountered the same problem.
I tried to search, but I couldn't find any.
Anyone can address me to a solution?
I thank you all in advance.
Hi..
Thats what i did in the past.. i sync emails so that i know which ones i need to reply... but found it a hassle at times...
why not try using pop3 directly? Jus save a copy of emails on server.... i pop as and when i need... but only my outlook in laptop downloads emails.. i find it better in sense i have contorl when i use outlook.. but thats jus me and my 2cents..
Hi chuachongchee,
I hope I'll find a straight way for you and for me to do what I mean.
I can't believe it is not possible to do such an elementary thing with an almost 600€ gear and a WM at its 6th release!!! And such a cool design !!
Do outlook mobile developers ever work away from their pc?
I am not good in WM software "handling", but a lot of people is, and I am sure someone has already solved this issue.
Just hope I'll find one...
hi asamax,
Just confirming that I have a similar problem that would be solved if I could change the "From" field in the outgoing message (as with your problem).
I also have done a lot of searching and found nothing yet.
I have found that its possible to write "plugin" apps for
tmail (aka Outlook mail for WM) but found none that allow the change of the "From" field - annoying!

Don't mind,
I am sure this will be solved.
Such simple change + Such evident miss.
Please skilled-xda-developers write an outlook hacked rev. allowing:
- choose the account in the email "from" field
- copy/move emails between different accounts folders
- some additional options for each accounts would be useful: default c/c and hidden c/c recipients.
the 3rd in the list allowed me to solve this issue in my old Nokia E70 (!!).
I just put a rule for incoming mail in my PC outlook: when I receive a mail in whic i am in hidden c/c AND in the from fields, move it in the sent items folder. But it was not a very clean way... I expect more from my brand new rhodium!!!
There are a few issues I have found inherently wrong with the e-mail client. I'd like see some support on these issues. Please feel free to add to this and comment on it as you see fit. I am aware of Touchdown and I'm not satisfied with it as a solution.
1 - The ability to move messages to specific Outlook folders.
2 - E-mail forwarding: Forwarded e-mails are attached as .eml files instead of in-line forwarding. This is not only awkward but can cause problems if your are forwarding an e-mail to someone who can't view attachments.
3 - Lack of Corporate global address look-up.
4 - Integration with Outlook invitations. The ability to accept or decline invites is not available.
5 - Signatures.
6 - Push inbox does not refresh without having to manually refresh or new data is received. If a new message is marked as read in outlook, it will not be marked as read in your mail client via push. This a problem because if you read an e-mail on your PC, your phone won't know and still notify you as having a new message.

I'm with you on all 6 of these issues. They are major problems and severely limit the usefulness of this phone in an enterprise environment.
#2 is just absolutely absurd and probably the biggest reason why I paid for TouchDown. The fact that I had to pay for basic corporate email functionality on this phone is pretty upsetting.
Touchdown fixes many if not all of those issues plus it adds calendar and tasks.

I'm actually tired of people telling me that Touchdown is the solution. I HAVE touchdown, but it doesn't fix issue #6 nor am I really happy with the UI/GUI in Touchdown. It's a bit "cartoonish" looking if that makes any sense.
The point is, these are all features that the native client should have.
Exactly, thank you.
I actually have more issues:
1. Not able to sync emails over a month old
2. Mail Client does not work correctly with Mail2web account (client reads Trash folder as inbox and notifies me of new emails)

Thanks. Keep them coming.
I refuse to believe that Google cripples its mail client because they want people to adapt gmail in a corporate structure. That would be very Steve Jobs like.

Now that I think about it, I have some more to add as well:
1. "Reply to all" includes your email address in the "to" (i.e. if I get an email that was sent to me and 5 other people, my reply to all will also be sent to me - I have to manually delete my e-mail address). This is an issue in Touch Down as well.
2. Attachments. I had a ton of attachment issues with the native client. I couldn't open a lot of them (would just fail) or couldn't even click to download.
