Hello fellow users
Is there something like email to "Distribution List" or "Category" that I've assigned a whole bunch of Contacts to??
I have been using my T-Mobile MDA VARIO for several months now but still can't workout if there is a way to simply email using a POP3 email account to more than one recipient.

thanks for your wise words,

Interesting...I didn't realize the feature was missing until you pointed it out.
Here's a temporary workaround (don't have much time to sit and search for a freeware addon):
1. Create a new contact named as the group name you'd like to use (say "Development Team")
2. Enter all the e-mail addresses for your distribution list within the "e-mail" tag of this new contact, placing a semicolon ( ; ) between all addresses.
3. When you go to create a new email, enter the group name you just created and the email field should automatically fill with all the addressees (I tried with two, there may be a limitation)
glhs509,
Thanks for the TIP.
I've found there is a limit at 247 characters which works out at 6 - 7 email address' for me so not much scope for large distributions.
For more than 247 characters I've ...
1) on my PC created a temporary email to the distribution list
2) Expanded the name to show all email address
3) Copied into notes section of a new contact.
4) on my PPC I can sink the new contact and it just takes a copy and paste of the contact notes into a new email 'To' box.
Not great but a lot better than adding one at a time. So thanks
I would really like to sync my contacts with the distributions in outlook on my PC so if anyone knows how to, please fill us in

Hello,
I seem to be having a problem with the built in email client on my XDA Exec. Every so often the built in Outlook Mail Client seems to "loose" my POP 3 account. However when I try to add it back in it tells me that:
"That name is already assigned to another account. Enter a unique name and try again"
Now I could keep adding it back in with a different name each time but that is a pants solution. Any thoughts as to how I can permanently fix this issue?
I have trawled through the registry but cannot find within it the name I used when I created the POP3 account.
[I have also noticed that it seems to loose the registration information for SunnySoft Back up as well!]
Many thanks
Change name POP3 in account configuration step 1 or 2 to another like mail1, mail 2. You have to use different names for settings

if only it was that simple. The original entry is no longer visible! So I cannot change it. And I cannot see it in the registry to delete it either. Any idea where does Pocket Outlook store its config information?
No i don't know

Did you ever see "No GSM" when soft reset? Then get your machine replaced. Check my postings.
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.
First XDA post. Love the forum but never had a need to post before. I am a long time user of windows mobile and the primary reason I buy windows mobile phones is because of their ability to open outlook item files.
I recently purchased the HTC HD2 from T-Mobile USA that is running windows mobile 6.5 Professional. When trying to open an outlook mail attachment I receive the following error message, "The attachment is of a file type that could be unsafe. Messaging will not open this attachment".
My profession requires me to proof-read emails before the are sent. My company does this by attaching email drafts created on a desktop by Microsoft Outlook and are typically .eml or .msg files and sent over email. These file types were supported and viewable in WM5 & WM6. How do I enable them in WM6.5?
I am currently using Energy's ROM and the stock T-Mobile USA Radio but I was having the same issue using the Stock T-Mobile ROM. I am comfortable with registry edits if that's what it takes.
Please help if you have any ideas. I've searched all over the web. If anyone would have the answers, you guys would. Thank you.
So I figured it out. After weeks of downloading multiple 3rd party email applications I also created a windows live email address which can receive emails from my work email address and push them to my device and I could open them in the default messaging program.
I found that I could open the .eml attachments using the default messenger through my microsoft live account which was strange and all I ever wanted but when I replied, I did not want it to be from my live account, I wanted it from my work address.
I went through all of the settings to see what could possibly be different and found the live account was set up as a pop3 and my work account was imap4.
I deleted my imap4 settings for my work mail and created a pop3 for the same address and now I can open .eml & .msg email attachments. Yay!

So just where are those imap4 settings? Are you setting up your work email on your phone as an Exhcange client with IMAP4 settings? Or is that on the MS Live setup?
I have this issue with email from my work Exchange account to a personal email account that I have set up on the phone (Imagio/WM 6.5). I want to accept some forwarded items (like personally specific HR-related docs) and some calendar items to update my phone's calendar, but I do NOT want my employer to "own" my phone, so am not willing to set it up as an "Exchange extension" (don't want that remote control, or 90% internal email spam to deal with).

OK, I admit I am new to WinMo and the X2 but there is something with Contacts that I do not understand.
1. Why is it that only one work and one private email address per contact are possible? I am currently syncing with the Mac addressbook using The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile and several contacts have two work and two private email addresses. The funny thing is that only one of those work and one of the private email addresses are actually transferred to the X2. Is there a limitation with the WinMo Contacts in this respect?
2. More problematically, when I make a new email and wish to add a contact on the X2, a name and email are suggested while I am typing the name. So far so good. But, why is it that only one email address is suggested automatically for a person, even if there are two email addresses assigned to the contact in the phone addressbook? How can one alternate between those email addresses when typing a mail? So far, I have found no way but maybe I am missing something basic here.
As a point of comparison, both these issues do not happen with the Motorola Milestone under Android. I can have several work and private email addresses per person, and when I type a new email message, choice is given between all the email addresses of a given contact.
Thanks for help!
This issue is driving me nuts.
Is there nobody using the standard WinMo addresbook?
It's bill gates who says that people do not have more than one e-mail address (or mobile-phone numbers for SMS). One should be enough..
YEs, it's a stupid limitation of winmo that i can't understand why it's in this way..
Any other mobilephone-platform i have used works in the way you suggest..
