Multiple email accounts not possible? - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General

Hi all,
this is my first post after I bought the S200. I setup 5 email accounts on it but when I tried to setup the 6th it won't do. Is it a WM5 problem?
Is there a limit on setting up accounts? With my good old xda I have more than 5 accounts without any problems.
Anyone had this problem?
thansk

I just upgraded my Wizard to a AKU2.3 and I found the same issue. I was able to set up 5 additional accounts and now I don't have the option to select New Account anymore. Thats annoying, especially because I only need ONE more.

Random Email Behavior

I have several POP3 email accounts configured on my Jasjar. Each account is set to check for email automatically, but the actual automatic function seems very random. If I use send/receive, each account functions without problem, accessing the account, authenticating, downloading, and logging off. Left to its own devices, though, the Jasjar seems to check accounts in no particular order and at random times. It does seem to check the first account configured more frequently than other accounts but, again, the timing of the events seems to bear no resemblance to the “Check every 15 minute” parameter set in the account profiles.
I thought that perhaps having every account check at 15 minute intervals would cause the accounts to “interfere” with one another – with the other accounts missing the “check email” trigger because one account was busy accessing its server – so I staggered the check-every parameter for each account, setting it to 15, 17, 19 minutes. This does not appear to correct the problem.
My Jasjar is set to always on in the power settings and the registry has been hacked to keep GPRS up at all times.
I am running:
ROM version 1.13.53 WWE
Radio version 1.04.02
ExtROM version 1.13.137 WWE
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Mine seems to work fine when it's set to check my (three) pop accounts every 60 minutes, I assume you're always getting a good signal, so it is actually able to connect? I've noticed that mine doesn't retry if the connection can't be made on the first attempt.
However, my G-Mail account is acting funny. If I leave read messages in my inbox, they disappear when the JJ does a send/receive. Only happens on G-Mail though, so I don't think it's a WM5 problem, I'm probably missing a setting on gmail.com somewhere?

OMG I thought it was just me!! its nice to know im not alone! BTW I take it that pocket outlook can now (WM5) poll more than one account at a time? (remember with WM2003se if you left outlook on text msg how it would not bother with emails?)
I know this should be easy, but HOW do I actually config my email to check automatically every XX mins?
select options (within pocket outlook) you should now see your email account name, simply click on the name to access the setup, press next 4 times till you go to the "server information" screen, now press the options box hope that helps!
Ta for that - not sure why I didn't find it, I remember seeing that when I first set the email connection up!
weird issue with Gmail via Jasjar
I just experienced a weird issue with Gmail via Jasjar messaging app as well.
If I send an email larger than 10K, then it will never go out and always end in error saying the message cannot be downloaded. Smaller size can be sent without any problem through Gmail smtp server. Pls try it out guys and let me know if yours is working fine.

Only 1 out of my 2 email accts retrieves new email messages?

Hello guys,
Currently I have an HP Ipag h6315 running Windows Mobile 2003. I have setup 2 emails account on my PDA ( Gmail & Bellsouth ).
I set both accounts to connect and retreive new messages every 2 minutes; however, only the account "checked" under ACCOUNTS will be the one that connects and retreive the email messages.
Shouldn't both accounts connect every 2 minutes and get new messages?
for example:
- If i go to inbox, it'll default to the inbox of whatever account i have checked under "accounts". if i check bellsouth, i'm able to see my messages from my bellsouth email address; however, after i close it and go back to the today screen, then only "Bellsouth" will connect and get new emails every 2 minutes.
- If i want Gmail to be the one to connect the every 2 minutes then i would have to go to inbox and check Gmail in order to gmail to be the one to connect every 2 minutes.
I dont know if that's the way its supposed to be, since i have set the option to connect every 2 minutes on both accts.
If anyone knows of this issue and happens to have a solution for it, i really appreciate it. Or perhaps is just a non-fixed bug.
thank you in advance,
Will V.
Unfortunately I think it's a bug in the Universal. I've been dealing with this problem since I got my Universal several months ago. Originally I thought it was a Windows Mobile 2005 problem, but I've had confirmation from several Wizard users (which is also WM2005) that their devices will check multiple accounts automatically.
For the time being I've gotten used to making sure my universal is always on my most important account and simply switching to my other account and manually checking it periodically. I'm hoping that this will be fixed in the next ROM upgrade.

Same problem for me in my Qtek 9000. Only the "active" account cheks mail automatically, no the others accounts. I´m asking for the solution in several forums but no possible. I think is a problem on WM5.
Actually it might be a problem with both WM3 (what i'm using) and WM5 (what you guys are using) kind of sucks to be having to switch in between accts in order get your new messages... if that's the case, that's a quality that the blackberrys will always outperformed the Windows mobile devices.
I'm sorry Will, I misread your first message. I believe it's a known issue in WM2003... it was supposed to be fixed in Wm2005, but there are still problems with the universal, at least.
Brett
I have the same issue.
Its a Pocket Outlook issue, as when I bought and switched to WebIS Mail, there wasnt an issue anymore. Works like a dream, no issues w/ it EVER and wil try to use wifi instead of gprs if you are on a wireless network, giving you a good speed burst w/ the universal...
Still on Pocket Outlook...is it possible to have a 'replay to' address specified for an e-mail account?
I can see that webIS Mail has the opiton but couldn't find it on Outlook.
thanks,

Syncing With Two Exchange Servers

Guys,
I have two exchange servers accounts and I do need to sync both accounts (emails, calendar, notes etc), however I just can't do it.
Through the ActiveSync I just can't create a new server.
Then I tryed to simply create a new account using the "mail setup", but the message I receive is "account already exists. Only one Exchange account can be configured".
Well, since I do not trust that much on Microsoft I Googled this subject and found the below (I also found references to this "solution" here at XDA):
"... to sync two exchange servers, put this in the device's registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\EnableNonLocalCrossPollination]= (DWORD) 1
This key will most probably be there already, but if it is, its value will be 0. If so, change it to 1.
Soft reset, then, setup activesync ON THE DEVICE (If you try setting up on the PC, it will still fail).
I'm now syncing an Exchange connected PC with with another Exchange Server directly - work like a CHARM.
(thanks to Chris de Herrera for the registry key hint)".
I did the registry's modification but nothing changed. I'm still not being able to sync with to different exchange servers account.
Have you guys faced this issue? Any idea on how to solve it?
Regards!
Hi!
I tried and faced the same result as you. Unfortunately I have no idea how to solve this, but I would desperately need the function too!
Cheers
Guys,
Any idea?
This issue has been discussed a long time over the web and there is no secure answer.
The "solution" I have found, at least for me, do not work. I have tryed and nothing.
Am I doing something wrong with respect to the mentioned "solution" or it really doesn't work? Is there any other way to make the simultaneously syncing feasible?
Regards!
No ideas on how to make two exchange servers acounts working on the HD?
No one? No shortcut? No detour?
I am quite sure this is not possible as the same with a windows PC!
Its possible
I synced with two exchange servers for a while. Buts its only possible if you use activesync by usb for your second exchange.
And how have you did it, mate?

well, there is a leak news state that wm7 can sync with 2+ exchange servers
also extensive customized folders.
this is great new feature.
in wm6.1, impossible.
Thanks John! Finally a peremptory answer
I was just wondering if it was possible with wm 6.1, especially after the information I have obtained (as per my first post here).
So, let's wait for wm 7.

More than 1 hotmail account ?

Hi everybody,
Had my Leo since 13 nov now, upgraded from a HD,
its just brilliant, love the phone
I have one small problem, i have 2 hotmail accounts, but the phone only
seems to allow you set up 1 account ?
As soon as i try to set up the 2'end one and press next it fires up opera and takes me to the windows live site, any one else having the same problem ?
Regards
Spawn
Hi Spawn, I found this trick:
http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/show/714
The idea is, you fool the device to think that your second hotmail account is not hotmail at first. However contacts will not be synced from this second hotmail account, but you will get access to your e-mail. I have not tested it myself but maybe worth a try.
Works perfect
Thank you Joa, very nice find.....

Help with Yahoo Mail! Downloading all my inbox for unknown reason!

Hey guys,
I am having this really weird issue with my email (which is Yahoo mail). I would initially set up my email as usual, i.e. by entering username and password and let it do it's thing.
I had setup my email settings as "download messages for the past 3 days" but for some reason after leaving the phone in sleep mode for several hours (i.e. overnight, while charging or unattended at work), it will then start downloading everything in my inbox under yahoo mail which is around 3,5xx emails without me knowing! and then the phone will start to become very very sloooow... having manila running 90-95% at all times, (my observation) apparently windows mobile email is trying to sync everything from the inbox (after finish downloading) to HTC sense which is causing a Big Slowdown! which is i think the reason why manila runs at 90-95%.
this has been an issue for me since i bought the phone, so i always end up deleting the account on the phone so it'll stop the sync to HTC sense and stop manila from running 90-95%.
It is very annoying and i was wondering if there is anybody over here has experienced the problem and solved it?
i have also tried upgrading my rom to the current european 1.6x but no luck and still acting the same. I just don't want to stop using the email that i've been using for the last 9 years just because of this.
I will greatly appreciate any help.
Anyone>?????? anybody??????? i am sure some of you uses yahoo mail.
just wanted to find out, if anybody is under the same situation when using yahoo mail!
thanks
How did you add your account in the first place? You should just enter your email address and let the HD2 setup automatically.
I guess you setup pop3 instead?
I'm facing the same issue. I went to HD2 email setup, entered the email address, password and used the default yahoo settings which HD2 suggested.
For the first 2 days I kept getting all new emails. However on the 3rd day overnight it downloaded the whole yahoo mailbox with over 2500 emails. Had to delete the account and add it back a couple of times, but the issue keeps recurring.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here. Is there any setting I need to change to prevent this from happening?
Chaps,
Don't know what settings you are using for Yahoo but if you want to restrict how many emails get downloaded to your device then do the following:
On the device go to Inbox>Menu>Tools>Options>Email Account (whatever you have called it). Tap on that and then tap on Send/Receive schedule.
Form here you can set the frequency of updates and how many days worth of emails you want downloaded onto the device.
Hope this is helpful

This issue also exists on my Raphael. Started a few months ago for some reason.
No matter what you set your retention limit to (3 days, 7, etc) it always tries to pull everything and bogs the phone done like crazy. Last time I wiped it, it was set to 7 days and it had email dating back to Jun 09.
Any idea on a resolution? as it seems to be affecting various devices.
up to now, i am still experiencing this problem.
i have tried everything.. i.e. hard reset, flashing to duttys holy grail v.05 rom and after setting up everything, it will still the same issue.
this issue only applies to yahoo mail.. i never had issues with gmail.
i wonder if it's because i am not using mail plus which requires a monthly fee and benefit you to use outlook using forwarding.
i never had this issue wih the iphone, although if you search yahoo, they specifically support iphone and blackberry only and regular mobile phones.
i have this problem too. i think its has something to do with Yahoo POP settings rather than our device. Gmail has a much more advanced mail settings than Yahoo. The gmail (IMAP) which is free is much better than yahoo plus (POP).
delete the accoun and wehn setting up again choose advanced settings you will find what limits this things
Same problem here
Hello, I have this problem in my Touch Pro 2. Haven't found a solution yet but I think the problem is at yahoo mail b/c i have used other imap and pop emails w/o having this behaviour.
It's probably some maintenance yahoo does to their servers that changes each mail datetime and thus, the WM mail client bring all inbox items and the phone gets freezed.
If someone find a solution for this issue please let me know.
regards,
Yasel
Same problem...
I am seeing this for my Yahoo mail on my Imagio also. It doesn't matter what the settings are, every few days, my entire inbox starts downloading (10000+ messages) causing the phone to hang & requires a hard reset.
Has anyone found a fix?
crude workaround
weird, this has started to happen to me on my tp2 in the last couple of weeks, maybe yahoo is doing something to different servers on a rolling basis.
Until it's fixed I've set up a folder within yahoo via my pc where I've dumped all emails over a couple of weeks old. I haven't synced my phone with that folder so myinbox is limited to a couple of hundred mails at the most. Once the issue resolves itself I'll put them back.
