Moving mail

Hi there...
Anyone know a smart way for moving mails between outlook and other mailacouts on the universal ?
I often have mails in my suynced folders, and need to forward then while been out of the office, I cannot find a way to move the mail to my "mobile" acound, to be able to forward it.

this is a lousy bug in wm5 :-(
You cannot choose from which account you want to send a mail, unless you were in the right folder when you clicked on "New" mail ! :evil:
If you save it as a draft in one of the mail account folders, you cannot move it to another mail acct....thats plain stupid of MS....
you got to live with it, no other go! copy/paste the text....and create a new mail The only way!

This is just one of things that used to frustrate me to no end with a POP account.
Two months ago I switched to a hosted exchange account, and it has been nothing but joy. Now email, contacts, calander and tasks work the way they should.
Check out www.4smartphone.com they have a 15 day trial.

I do agree with you, but my company use pop3, so i'm stuck..
The other problem with sending mail and it cuts of the content (text) within the mail are even worsh for me....

No problem with you're company using POP, 4smartphone will PULL it off their POP server.
Sorry I've got no ideas on what is happening with your email being truncated.

Getting alerts for new mail in subfolders (Exchange)

I'm syncing to an Exchange-server, and have organized it using rules to move certain e-mails to certain sub-folders of the inbox. However, I'm not getting any messages or alerts that new mail have arrived in these sub-directories of the inbox, which makes automatic syncronizing with the Exchange-server rather useless.
I just want the Wizard (in my case: Qtek 9100 NOR) to show all new e-mail on the ToDay-screen and alert me. I think this is typical "Outlook-behaviour" which won't allert me about new mail in subfolders too (but that I can live with).
Anybody know how to solve this? Maybe it's a registry-setting?

I had the same question. Yes, it's typical behavior. I solved it another way. I use so called search folders in the Outlook 2003 instead of moving to real subfolders. All messages arrive in Inbox folders both in the Outlook 2003 and in PDA, so e-mail notification works for each message.

I use search-folders too in Outlook 2003. But they are not available on the Wizard which makes the use of rules and subfolders much easier to use.

Today Screen - unread email

I've STF'd through these forums, and am unable to find what I'm looking for. I'm also not sure if this is the appropriate forum, but here goes:
I have the T-mobile MDA Vario II. I run Outlook/Exchange at work and use ActiveSync(Push email) to send/receive email.
I have a large amount of subfolders configured in Outlook and I have certain rules that filter email and deposit them in the appropriate folders inside of Outlook. These are all synchronized onto the phone.
And here enters my problem. The unread section on the today screen only shows unread messages in the Inbox and not the subfolders. Unless I drill down to the folder list, I have no outward indication that I have unread messages in those folders.
I'm hoping that there is a Today screen program or a plugin / registry change that will list all folders with unread messages or otherwise indicate that I have unread messages elsewhere besides the inbox.
I've searched all over handandgo.com, and the software sections of this website. Can anyone point me towards something that will do what I'm looking for? Thanks in advance.

Try Spb Diary, it has tabs which include messages and will show emails from all your accounts. I wouldnt b without it.

I too have the same predicament.. I'm looking at spb diary but I'm not sure about the subfolder notifications on it...
Its very frustrating that I have to scroll through my folders to see if any new mail has been received in them!
Any ideas anyone??

I've been looking for a solution for this for ages. No luck so far...

it should fix ur problem cause it fixed mine.

I want to be alerted when subfolders receive mail.

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).

HTC email & exchange folders

I tried to search but could not find anything.
On my exchange email, I've got multiple folders and emails are sent to the different folders directly.
In HTC email program, I can look at other folders and see unread email there but I can't see unread emails (and get notifications) across all folders, except of course if I missed a configuration?

That's the way it works. If you've got rules to move mails to Exchange folders you won't get new mail notifications. Same thin happens if you use Outlook as the email client, you won't get any notification for mails that got to folders.
What bugs me is that if you hit menu->folders then the unread count isn't shown there - unless I'm missing something

I also am trying to figure this out. I basically want the ability to receive and be notified of all emails including all subfolders. Regarding Fed's comment, I agree that's how it's supposed to work, but in Outlook you can set a rule to display a notification. In my Outlook I set that as the top most rule for all incoming email so I get a notification no mater what rule runs. Even my BBerry allowed me to select folders that were also monitored and hence a notification and email were recieved. HTC however doesn't seem to have an option to do this. It actually sounds like you guys are getting a step further. If I select menu --> folders I see the folders, but not the email within the folders. Anyone know how to setup notifications and receive email for subfolders in exchange on the HTC?

I want to add that before I used Touchdown and touchdown can show emails from all selected folders.
Are follow-ups working for you (mine are auto-flagged in outlook)?

For info, I've asked the question to HTC. Good news, they replied.
Bad news...
There is no setting for notifications on new mails in servers specifiaclly, If you are using a Windows Mobile based phone you can set these folders to be synchronized and on new mails in these folders you should get a notification upon new mails. On our Android based devices there is sadly enough no way to do this.
