With t-mobile UK, there was an app called EmailWiz included not sure if that part of normal outlook, anyone this was just wizard based method to setup email accounts. It has disappeared.
2 - New Acount is greyed out, I have on way of creating a new account.
3 - Options : When I go to an email account and go to options, there nothing there about being able to setup intervals to auto delivery email, or any type of filters.
Can someone PLEASE help me get these things back, or if I could re-install pocket outlook apps, not sure where to get that only from.
windows reboot solved new account, never found EmailWiz.
However interval settings was me being an idot and not using the options correctly.
A plugin for interval to run at certain times would be well handy.

Hi all,
I am trying to figure out why my pop3 accounts (i have 2) always seem to disappear after a day or so of me opening them. One account gets all of the email and the other gets headers only. but when i try to open up the two accounts or even go into outlook express, they are never there.
I can't find any setting that says keep all email that I don't delete. Can anyone advise please? It's probably a simple answer but I can't figure it out yet :\
TTT please advise!
You need to be more specific. Which email service are you using on your device? If it is Gmail then you need to let the device auto detect the settings and leave the default usename to "recent:username". Otherwise the messages will go away after a day or 2.
sorry i didnt think the email service would matter. it seemed like more of a settings on the phone issue. its roadrunner, time warner - pop.nycap.rr.com
i receive them fine and that's no problem. but they just go away after a day or two even if i haven't synced. why wont they fill up my inbox like microsoft outlook does on my pc??
Well you may need to check your email account settings on roadrunners website. For example when you log into a gmail account on the web there is a link for Pop/forwarding settings. In there you can set "Status: POP is enabled for all mail that has arrived since 8/2/04". Once this is set then all mail will stay on the device after 8/2/04. Assuming roadrunner has a setting like this then you will want to make sure it is setup properly via the roadrunner website. However if email is staying in outlook on your home pc and not on your device then this might not be your problem.
If I were you I would first delete the account on your device and set it up again making sure you allow the device to detect settings automatically.
Well, I only use a exchange server but in activesync dont you specify how many days of emails you want to store? Default is 3 days, so emails automatically are removed from the phone after 3 days.
surrept, thanks i will check that out - i never let it do auto detect cause the few times i did it wouldn't pick anything up. and i assume my roadrunner is set to keep them since my PCs outlook has them all the way back until i set up my account? weird. also, in the messenger tab, i see
"OUTLOOK EXPRESS"
"EMAIL1"
"EMAIL2"
email 1 and 2 being the two roadrunner accounts that i receive to my phone..should they be set up right inside outlook? maybe that's part of the problem?
fredde, i dont often activesync because my PC no longer recognizes my handheld, i need to sync via my laptop but i do it rarely since i dont use it all the time. like once a week maybe i sync. but the emails disappear more frequently than that. i will sync up and see if i can see that option.
thanks for the tips guys
No outlook on the device is reserved for the outlook accounts on your PC. That mailbox will fill up as you sync it up with activesync. But only when you do that. You want the 2 email accounts below that you said you have. Those if setup properly should connect to the pop servers the same as outlook would on a pc. Like the poster said above make sure in advanced account settings that you have it set to keep all mail on device.
well i've made some headway - i learned that the emails disappear from my handheld as soon as I mark them as read (open them) on my PC...so now where would the setting be to have them stay on my handheld until deleted from there?? its like the hard copy never gets created on the phone they just stay on the server??
I changed it to keep all, however the weird thing is that the two accounts I have on my phone are the same two set up in my Outlook on my PC - so one would think it would work with either the phone settings or the activesync to keep them in the phone!? so confusing.
what i really want is the two email accounts on my phone (same as PC) to get new mail, and if i don't delete it, in a day or so have them go into the outlook on my phone so that they will be stored the same way Outlook on your PC stores email. By date, so that you can search them quickly etc. I dont know why it wouldn't do that.
Hi all,
I've setup the Outlook Email to sync with my exchange server at work... however, it has syned my calendar and not emails (i only wanted it to do emails). For some reason, it's saying the details are not correct (yet it's capable of syncing calendar). Anyway, I've told it not to sync anything (so I won't receive them anymore) but how do I remove the account from my phone?
Thanks,
Amnesia
ActivSync
Strangely it's done from within ActiveSync and not the messaging app.
I found out after trying to setup direct push yesterday.
If you click the bottom right softkey in active sync and choose options or somthing(i forget exact item) you can change/remove accounts from there, and even change what items it syncs (calendar/contact/mail/etc) by just ticking and unticking them.
cheers mate! I'll give that a try.
I have set up my own personal email account in the HD2 - not outlook, just a standard personal email.
Configured all well and good; works fine except for the very poor implementation by HTC which gives the user absolutely no audio / visual conformation that your messages have actually been sent successfully....?!
However, I have it set to retrieve new emails from my server every 15 minutes, but it does this so erratically that I can't trust it. Today I was wondering why no email had come through by 1pm, so I manually pressed 'send and receive' and 8 important emails came through from 8.40am!
So I decided to check the mail settings (again) to make sure it wasn't just me being dense. That's when I discovered an even more annoying bug -
Every time I access my POP3 email account's settings the HTC automatically changes my incoming mail account user name from whatever I saved last time, to just the first 3 letters of the user name.
ie I put in a user name of [email protected] and the next time I view the settings there's only HTC in the username box.
It gets worse still, everytime I also check the outgoing server details, at the same time it also defaults the 'outgoing (SMTP) mail server' to 'use the same username and password for sending email' IN-SPITE of the fact that I have now set this up 15 times and saved it with a different user name and password!! AGHHH!
So, it's very unreliable in retrieving emails (over wifi or 3G or GPRS) and the email account settings need re-setting up every time I access the account settings to check why they are not working...again.
I am very quickly losing faith in this bit of tech, this is my second HD2 handset and it's freezing and crashing more in a few days that my old 3G did in a year. So frustrating!
Does anyone have any idea what's up with the email issue?
Cheers.
Yep, I've seen the first problem you have, where part of the username (more specifically, everything from the ampersand onwards) are truncated. This, and presumably the other problems, seem to be down to the HTC email configuration program trying to be too clever. If you go to Pocket Outlook, by tapping on Inbox when you're on the email Sense tab, then go to Menu -> Tools -> Options, and set your accounts up there, they stick. Annoying bug, but circumventable reasonably painlessly.

I have no Tools in Menu of the Inbox
I only got the account setup when in the sense tab and there i only get to the htc account settings. So how to I get to the outlook settings?
I also had this problem with it not automatically syncing my hotmail account as specified.
The newer 148 ROM seems to address this BUT introduces a number of irratating bugs along with it - depends if you can live with them or not....

Hi
I hope someone out there has come across this problem and found a solution.
I created a hotmail account and it was working for a while then just decided to stop working. I tried to delete the account and start again but it just wont let me delete it. I have a yahoo account and it will quite happily let me delete that one, but the hotmail account is greyed out so cannot be selected.
I've look through all the menu's and gone through various suggestions I have found on here but to no avail.
I now have 2 email accounts (both hotmail) that no longer work and I can no longer delete.
Help Help Help!!
Have you tried to go to Manila Email tab and press menu -> account settings?
Do it and tell me if you see the accounts.
Are you using SWYPE?
If so - dont use swype anymore as i had the issue that the mail accounts disappeared as the entered data wasnt saved.
If you can open up the account settings just fill in the empty fields like pop/imap server and smtp server and password if it disappeared too.
Holla at me if you still need help and figuer out that i was right
Hi
I'v look at account settings and the 4 email accounts I have are there, but the 2 hotmail accounts i set up previously (the one's i'm having problems with) are there but they are greyed out.
I cant select them at all to delete them.
No, not using swype, i'm still on the standard 1.43 rom from 02 UK.
Hi
did you find a solution, I have the exact same problem
Cheers
Andy
Just a stab in the dark, but have you tried installing (or if you haven't update Windows Live through the Windows Marketplace app)/reinstalling the Windows Live app?
I know from experience the version off the marketplace is newer than the pre-installed version and overwrites the old version and so may overwrite/get rid of the unworking Hotmail accounts?
and don't forget that if you signedinto the live app it creates an undeleteable hotmail account that only disappears once you log out of the live app
Hi
thanks for the suggestions, the account is not created through Windows live. I created it by putting in the pop3 and smtp details, its been working OK since just after Xmas. Only thing that as happened recently, is that like others have mentions some of my other email account settings got lost. The email account was set up following the instructions in tip 43 from the Tips and Registry tricks post at the top of this forum. I have other accounts set up in the same way and they are working OK.
I am running stock WWE 1.66 rom
Cheers
Andy
Guys, what worked for me is:
Go to inbox through the Mail tab.
Choose Menu.
Choose Tools
Choose Options
Touch and Hold the account and choose Delete.
Bye Bye Greyed out email account.
I have to make a note that some options of Manilla does not work, but if you approach it from Windows options, then it works.
Good Luck, people of XDA.
In my case it was because I was signed in to Windows Live. Just go to the Messenger screen, option, and choose to change account, and press yes. The account will disappear.
Hey all,
I'm hoping someone out there will be able to answer this one relatively quickly. I'm running the Elegancia ROM and use the email application which is cooked into that rom - I believe it is the standard for most HD2 roms.
I have access to two of my email accounts through the program: Hotmail and Yahoo! I set up my Yahoo account quite ordinarily, by going through Add New Account and then banging in my login details. Sweet. Using this setup method, I was able to select the Send/Receive Every Five Minutes option before finishing the setup wizard. All is gravy there. The emails come like clockwork.
To get the Hotmail account to work, however, I had to install Windows LIVE for Windows Mobile. While I did this, and am able to access my Hotmail emails using this email program, the emails do not come automatically - I am forced to manually open the program and push "Send/Receive" before any come down the pipeline. For the life of me, I can't find any way to just turn on some kind of Send/Receive automation like with the Yahoo account. The "normal" way of doing this (Menu - Account Settings - and then select the email account you want to fiddle with) is a no go: the Hotmail and Outlook accounts are both greyed out, and thus not available for modification in this way.
If anyone knows how to switch this particular function I need on, please weigh in. Thanks in advance.
-D.
got a solution for you, mate.
Go to Start>E-mail>pick your email account>click menu>Tools>options>Tap on account to change setting> then change it there
really appreciate your suggestion. i think i found the windows live sync options using your guidance. no new emails yet, but i should know if it worked soon. thanks a mill for weighing in.was a seriously annoying issue.
how to send receive immediately, as you receive a mail
