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...

Hi all,
I've just started using Exchange with my 8125. I have rules on the server that automatically move incoming mail to specific folders. This is great on the desktop because there is an "unread" mail folder that displays all of the unread mail.
The issue on the phone is that when a new mail arrives through exchange, it is moved automatically to the folder without any alerts. I actually have to dig down into the folder to realize that there's a new unread email.
- Is there anything equivelent to an "unread" folder on the WM5?
- Are there any 3rd party programs that will alert of new email and/or display the new emails?
- Are there betters ways/methods for accessing email?
Thank you in advance for your assitance!
Cheers!

Hello there Lu.
I too am learning Exchange. As someone who does not have an Exchange account at work (we use Groupwise) I signed up for a personal Exchange account. So between that and my pobox.com account I think I am spending a little over $100.00/yr on email. Plus data fees, etc. WOW!!
But on to your questions.........
The best that I have been able to find is that one can only get alerts on the Today screen when a message hits the "Inbox". So if you want to see if any of your other folders have gotten messages you'll have to navigate to them.
As for a universal "Unread" folder I know of no way to do that either. Hopefully someone here will correct me but I don't think so.
Regards,
David
I use Outlook. My email box (on the today screen and in the actual inbox) always shows "1 unread" when there is no message there. If I receive 10 new emails, it lists 11 unread. Is there a way to reset the inbox or edit it in the registry or something. I'm not sure what has confused my Cingular 8125 in thinking there is a message there when there isn't.
Thanks for any help
Check the default options where it sets how far back it should go when displaying messages.
Maybe you have some really old, old unread message.
It is set for just 1 day of old messages. I wonder where the actual email messages are stored. Is there a folder I could browse to with a files explorer? Perhaps I might have to delete the account and then set it up again.

Nah, don't do that! Just set it to show all messages and find the unread one.
Not 100% sure but I think I've had the same issue on my Ipaq and this is what it was. It was sooo long ago...
when I go to my inbox, I'll delete all messages and the inbox is empty, but at the bottom it says there is still 1 unread message....not sure where it's hiding.
I hav exactly the same issue, but not in e-mail but in text messages, and i am sure that i deleted all the text messages
so pdreissen...does your today screen always show a line item that says you have 1 unread text message? My today screen always has that 1 unread email and I'd sure like to get rid of it.
My today screen is fine, but when I'm in outlook, and only in one of my email accounts, the outbox always has one unread (although folder is empty), never been able to change this.
Same problem with Yahoo.
I had this same problem in Yahoo webmail. The culprit turned out to be a peice of spam backdated to 2002! Is this an exchange account? Is it also synched with your desktop? I would concentrate my efforts on the webmail or exchange account itself rather than the Wizard.
Just a thought have you look in every folder in every account...i.e Outlook, text, mms, hotmail, any other email accounts?

Sorry to resurect this one. But I have the same problem with my text messages. I have cleared out all my text messages so the inbox is totally empty but still on my today screen I have 1 unread text message displayed.
Anyone got any ideas on this as its VERY annoying.thanks.

The above link has a little utility that will fix the problem. I can't remember how I stumbled upon it, but it fixed my issue which is the same as you are having.
thanks pdamath, That fixed it straight off.
Excellent little app.
I have 2 folders from my exchange box also being sync'd via activesync and when i get a new message to these subfolders i do not get a Audible or a Popup on the screen. The only time that i see a notification is if the messages goes to the inbox. Has anyone see this before or know of a fix ?
As far as my knowledge there is no fix for this and is a "bug" in the roms. I have found a small work around for this. Install ms voice command v1.6. Changed a few settings on it and now it reads the email sender and subject for me even if it is in a sub folder.
Wow...I remember this problem from a long time ago. I was getting ready to start using the rules to filter email to folders again but I guess there is no point. I still want to know those emails are there, even if they are in Inbox subfolders, but it's still not an option. What an omission!
I have about 20 sub folders off my main inbox for exchange server 2003. Only the items in my main inbox are counted as items unread on my device. If i have say 4 emails in another folder, it does not show that they are unread unless i click the inbox and switch to that folder. I want to know if i have unread messages in all my folders just from looking at the today screen. Is there a fix for this? Also push mail only seems to work for my main inbox too, not for the subfolders, i have to manually syncronize to get the rest of the messages to download. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm not even able to get the email from the other folders on my cell phone. Only email from my inbox comes in - are there any settings I can change for this?
yea. with the mail inbox open go to manage folders, then you can tell it which folders to sync
Is that not because of how outlook works?
I think it's always been like that: It just tells you how many mails you have in your inbox, subfolders are not included...
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.
