I have an MDA and I have many email account mailboxes setup. I would like to simply be able to do one send/receive and it would go out to all the different email accounts and send/receive mail. Now with Pocket Outlook on my MDA, I have to switch into each email account mailbox and do a separate send/receive for each one. Is there a way to avoid having to do a separate send/receive for each email account? I do not want to setup automatic download mode. I want to manually initiate the fetching of mail. If this is the way it should be, does anybody know of alternate email clients that would make the receiving of multiple accounts easier?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated?
I found WebIS FlexMail 2007 which seems to work very well. It does cost $20.00. Thanks for those of you who did view this posting.
I found somwhere program called q3u. it have send/recive option for all accounts and much more. It's free.
Sorry that was only filename. Program name is qmail. it's free. you can find it on www.freewareppc.com.

Hey all.
At home I've my desktop outlook setup to my pop3 email.
Is there anyway to set this account so I can send/ receive to see if there is new mail - or (as I think is the case) do I have to setup a separate pop 3 account to be able to initialize send/receive.
Cheers fellaz!

I was asking the same question on other forums, but it seems that no1 considers this as a "normal" question; I have never got a reply...
When u sync your Universal with your PC, the emails are automatically downloaded into your Outlook E-mail account automatically.
To check your emails on the move, you'll need to set up a new POP3 account with the same settings as per your PC's Outlook....... and when u do a Send/Recieve, it's connected via your GPRS. E-mails downloaded into your Universal will still be downloaded onto your PC when u do a Send/Recieve on your PC's Outlook....That means the same email will appear in both the Outlook E-mail and POP3 accounts on your Universal
Wonder if I'm making any sense......

You do make sense, but… you have just explained to us what we’ve already knew. I would just like to have normal SEND/RECEIVE in pOutlook without having to setup the same thing on the side (my Yahoo pop3). And after that they could synchronize normally…
I hope that I made some sense now…
:?
Yup perfect sense,
the phrase that airbag14 was looking for was:
'no you can't, not to our knowledge'

Or just use exchange

I struggled for quite some time to make email work 'properly' on using my MDA Pro.
First, note that I use Outlook on the desktop. My situation is complicated because I have multiple accounts that I want to sync.
What I found was:
1. Syncing desktop & pocket outlook mail is useless, unless one uses exchange. There is no way to send and receive mail short of syncing with the desktop. And given that activesync 4 cannot sync over the net, means that messages I want to send are stored until I manage to get close to my desktop. Totally stupid design. Someone must have been smoking illegal substances when s/he came up with it.
2. Switching both desktop and PPC to POP sort-of works, but there are severe problems. The first is that a pop account on the PPC is completely separate from the outlook-synced account, so messages appear twice on the PPC. The second is that if either the desktop or the PPC delete messages off server, then the other device gets confused. Copying a message to another folder on the PPC causes the message to be removed from the server, so that it never arrives in the desktop. Read message indications are not reliable. etc etc.
3. Switching to IMAP on both the desktop and the PPC works the best. One ends up with a set of IMAP folders on both the desktop and PPC, separate from the 'normal' outlook inbox (which are no longer used). Operations on either the desktop or PPC are reflected in the other device when mail is checked. Of course, it is absolutely imperative that both devices download messages, not just headers.
So, in the end I have a set of IMAP folders on both devices for each account. Both devices are set up to download messages + headers. The desktop downloads the entire message + attachments. The PPC downloads 15K of the message and no attachments. Deleting a message on one deletes on the other (when mail is checked). Reading a message on one caused the message to be marked 'read' on the other.
Messages sent from the PPC show up in desktop outlook's IMAP sent items folder. The reverse is not true, because desktop outlook puts sent messages into a generic 'sent items' folder, not the IMAP one. This is not a problem for me.
I have turned off activesync for all mail folders, because sync is done using IMAP. I still use activesync for contacts etc.
FWIW, IMAP in desktop outlook has a few problems. The worst is that sometimes it decides to duplicate a message. IMAP is also a bit more sensitive to network glitches, "disconnecting" from the server and requiring outlook to be restarted to reconnect. In addition, as messages are left on the server more-or-less permanently, one might run into quota problems.
mailbox copy
I stumbled on this mailbox problem here again.
I got exactly this issue, as my provider gives me Pop3 (can't get imap to work), and I cant reply on mails when i'm out (outlook mailbox has no send-receive)
Now I figured out, that in case if I COULD do an mail-box copy on my device from outlook-inbox to anonther account inbox, and before syncing do and send-items-box copy back to outlook send-items-box, this would solve a BIG part of my problem.
Has anyone EVER heard of an app that can let you copy whole mailboxes between accounts on your PPC device?
I also posted this question befor but to be sure are you all saying in a round about way.........
i ave a pop email account on my laptop, this i sync with a cable to my Exec, And on my Exec i also have a pop3 account the same account as on my laptop....
so if i am out ( and my laptop is not on) i use the pop3 account on my Exec for sending and recieving mail no problem, BUT if whilst out i see from my Sync,ed email from the laptop befor i left in the morning a email i need to repley i cant, i wish i could read the email then tell it to reply / send via the proper pop account on my Exec not the sync account
Do you all have this problem
Thanks
John
I prolly dont understand the problem fully, because I think it has a simple answer. On your PPC dont sync the mail from outlook through activesync but set up a new (p-outlook) pop3 account with the parameters from the pop3 outlook account (minus the smtp-server offcourse, this should be the smtp of your phone operator). I have this setup and can send/recieve mail on my MDA Pro. When I get home I recieve all mail from that day on my pc, storing it on my pc. At the next send/recieve on my MDA Pro, all the mail collected by the pc will dissapear (on the MDA Pro) and new mail will arrive. If you want you can sync the outlook mail with your PPC but it will function as a old-mail-database next to your p-outlook pop3 account.
what I did was:
1. I Created a new mail account - POP3 - and configured it to be read just in O2 exec.
2. I configured my mail account to forward all mail to the mail account I created for the PDA, and also keep messages in my mail account, so I can read them in my PC as well.
3. I dont SYNC mails, just check them by using WIFI/GPRS/3G.
This is not very "polite" but works for me. anohter solution, IMAP, another, REAL MAIL from Vodafone.
I've not seen this one answered before, so hopefully someone knows now...
You can set up POP3 mail accounts on your phone, so you can download e-mail on the go. You can also sync the mail on your computer's Outlook onto your phone. But can you do both?
Is it possible to read the mail from your POP3 on your computer, via Outlook, sync it to your phone, then when you're away from your computer, download and read your new mail on your phone, then when you get back to your computer, have that e-mail that you downloaded sync'ed back to Outlook on your computer?
Very interesting question. As far as I'm aware it can only go one way. You can sync (download) to your phone, but I don't believe it's possible to sync in reverse (have mail sync from your phone to your pc). But just out of curiosity, why would you want to? As long as your "Leave copy on server" option is checked in outlook, your mail will always be on your email account's server until you delete it, so that should negate you having to sync mail back to your pc. Unless when you are downloading mail directly to your phone while you are away from home there is no copy left on the email server, which is definitely a possibility. If that is happening, I would contact the cellular service provider to see if there is a way to view basically a copy on your phone while leaving a copy intact on your email server.
Hope this helps.
Been thinking about the same question recently. And i can see the reason for wanting to reverse sync.
Say i have e-mail sync'd between pc & wizard. I go out and check my mail and download 5 new messages (leaving on the server). Now i go home and my pc gets the new 5 messages. when i sync will i end up with a double copy of my e-mail on my Wizard?
i cant currently test as my PC is in pieces so i've been using my wizard for e-mail, but its not under "outlook mail" but a new account conencting directly to the pop server, can i have 1 account that will sync to outlook or pop?
Sry i dont answer anything!
you can sync outlook and a pop3 account if seperate
for instance, i sync my inbox with my outlook which works fine
i also have a new "account" in my messages area which downloads my pop mail via gprs or wifi (whichever is in access).
when you download mail from pop, it still stays on server which is good... then when you get home, you can download these on the machine
as far as i know, you cannot sync the mails back to outlook because of the way it treats the mails but i might be wrong as ive not tried it... if i remember, i will trty when i get home.
also there is limits and attachment restrictions etc so not sure how they would work.
What the poster means (At least what I like to know), is if it's possible to sync Outlook mail. Then, on the go, you want to check if there's mail. Here you have to create an account. Is it possible to have the Outlook-account of the pda have the mail checked? So only the new messages, which haven't been outlook-synced are downloaded...
Because, now, on the go, when I do a Dial-in or on a Wifi hotspot, my 'Outlook' can't download new mail. And another account (the dial-in one) starts downloading messages of 3 days (I know you can set this, but that's only half a solution...)
No way around this?
Nope.
The only two-way sync to the desktop is Outlook Exchange mail.
Hi I've been tracking this topic on many sites, and have seen no answer.
If you only have POP3 (imap and exchance are ok), you are screwed.
I have on the PPC the oulook boxes, and a seperate account (setup like the account on my PC-outlook), that works fine on Pop3 via wifi or gprs.
What any pop3 user likes to do, is sync your PPC, get out and reply, send and receive mails. This is how it works:
- read your mails, do a reply! (which is not possible, as the oulook on you PPC cant send receive)
- so you like to copy that mail to the seperate account (Which is not possible too, you cant move mails between boxes)
- so you copy the content to a new mail in the seperate account, (and add all the cc's that where in the list, ohw!) and do there a send/receive, done...
- really?... how to get your send-mail back to your outlook send items box???, so you set yourselves in bcc for all send mails (or get a program for that)
Its a pain and a waste of time (anyone who knows a better solution, tell me and dont tell me the Imap or exchance story)
I think the solution can be 2-ways:
- or a patch that makes the send/receive available for the outlook account on your PPC
- or a mailbox-copy / move function, that eases the copying between the accounts.
Anyone has these solutions?
I'm looking for a function that allows me to copy multiple mails from one mailbox to the other.
Specific: i like to copy my mails in my pocket-outlook inbox to the inbox of another account on my PPC device.
This would save me copy-pasting mails, as pocket-outlook dont allow me to send/receive when im out and have only wifi or gprs.
(i know the story on the exchange and imap mail servers, im using pop3, and this mailbox function would be a great help)
anyone know this function, or can build this function for Windows Mobile?
kind of solution
I came around a mail-program that claimed to support mail copy between p-outlook mailbox and another self-setup mail account on your pda
See http://www.pocketinformant.com/ under Forums, Public/Beta Builds
there you can find FlexMail beta-version.
This mail-program claimes to handle the mail copy.
unfortunately, its not working yet on the beta version as I write this reply
BUT:
it supports the selection or te mail-account service when you reply, create or forward a mail.
This means you are able to send out a mail from your poutlook inbox via the mail-account you have setup. So no need to do a mail-copy to the other box.
For POP3 users that use activesync , this is a solution to handle pop3 email on you PPC when you are out. (as you cant send/receive the poutlook mail-account.
You only need to put yourself in bcc to get the send mails back to your PC-outlook.
good luck!
HELP!
I'm new to the whole mobile email thing. I recently bought an 8525 and I'd really like to set it up for push email but I just don't have a good understanding of what to do and how to do it.
Can someone point me in the right direction? Is there a wiki for mobile email? I have about a half dozen POP3 accounts now that I'm accessing via Outlook 2003 on my PC.
Thanks in advance
Dave the Noob!
Hi Dave...i feel this is something which isnt particularly documented in the wiki so you wont get a standard "Read the wiki etc.." reply hehe
The BEST thing i ever did was to get a gmail account, and route ALL my emails through it, by applying tags to the emails you receive you can easily tell which account they are from. Pop3 accounts can be checked at regular intervals by gmail so no problem there, and if you filter them appropriatly you can get certain emails pushed to your phone via an exhcnage account. You can get a free push email account (exchange account) using mail2web.com's service.
The best thing about doing this is gmail's spam filter works VERY well, and you get 2GB of space.
I personally get selected emails routed to my push account (kindly provided by walshieau....not a public service) , and also the exchange account holds my contacts and appointments.
After a ROM flash all i gotta do is sync with the exchange account and my contacts/emails and appointments are restored.
Unified email
Hey everyone! my friend and i have hd2's but he has 6 email accounts and he was asking me is there a way to make all his emails come into one inbox like on blackberries...i suppose its called "unified email"
ive been using windows mobile for a year now and i cant seem to find a way to "unify" the emails..is there a way for this to be done?
thank you
btw he has the stock tmobile rom,
which would be windows phone 6.5
__________________
I don't know of a specific way to do this on WinMo; however, a work around would be to setup a GMail account (or Hotmail, Yahoo, whichever) and configure that to download email from the six accounts.
Once you have done this, you would only need to setup the Gmail (or other) account on your phone and everything should all come down in one place.
Not really a cure, but a solution nonetheless.
Re: Unified Email
I've used Flexmail for this purpose. It can integrate yahoo, gmail, hotmail, and other types of POP mail accounts and send them to you via imap push. With Flexmail, you can set rules for incoming emails so that they automatically sort into folders on your phone. I like it a lot.

Flexmail was excellent when I used it on a Treo Pro. I've installed it on my HD2 and found it was not at all useable without a D-pad. I just couldn't get it to work right.

Gmail does everything you listed as well via pop, imap push, and exchange for free. If you use the exchange setup you can sync your calendar and contacts as well, works great.
Great recommendation by Franwella.
Hi,
I use Gmail for this too, works well.
using Gmail is the right solution. I'm using it and it's a lot confortable.
