I am using the 'auto fetch' feature in Pocket Outlook to poll for new emails every 15 minutes. Is there someway of disabling this feature at night so it does not wake me up when a new email arrives?
Looking to change alert times
I'm using ActiveSync but instead of changing the sync schedule I would prefer to create an alert schedule.
It would allow me to sync always but only beep during working hours
Any ideas?
I'd have thought SKSchema would be able to sort this out for you. All you have to do is find the relevant registry key and make a script scheduled to change it at the relevant times.
Thanks to Chalky for pointing out SKSchema on this forum.

Hi all,
I'm trying to seting up a reminder for a task but I can't do it as I want...
I'd like to set a reminder for a taks (call a friend saturday afternoon for example...) on the exact day and on a given hour (saturday afternoon at 14:00!)
Is it possible? I set the reminder and the Jam ask me for a day.... okay but at what time the reminder will be notified with a sound? How does the reminder for a task works?
Just use Appointments? :shock:
With appointments it works but if I have to call a friend I think it's a task not appointment....
To set the exact time a task reminder will notify you for an event you must set the task from MS Outlook. In Outlook you can select the default time for the device to remind you for future tasks set on the device. As for tasks set from your PC you can manaully select the time. I believe the standard default time that a task reminds you is @ 8am on the day of the task is set due. Hope this helps.
The outlook calendar never notifies me about the upcoming meetings though i can see the meetings on the Today screen.
On Settings --> Sounds and Notifications --> Notifications tab
for Event = Reminders I have all options checked
Play Sound : Notify
Repeat
Display message on screen
Vibrate
Flash Light
But no notification comes up.
Make sure the appointment itself has the Reminder option selected - 1 min, 2 min, 15 min...
Might be too obvious OR you may have a more serious issue!
Yes. The appointments do have 15min reminders. PC's outlook pops up reminders window.
In that case it may be that your notifications have built up, or that there are duplicates in there.
First make a full backup. Then:
Get Checknotifications (free but basic) or Memmaid or SK Tools and check the notifications. Use the software to remove all duplicates, then look carefully at the remaining notifications which start with Calendar or Clock. Make sure that they all occur in the future. If any past or obviously strange notifications are there, then delete these. Don't delete notifications where you don't know what they do.
Then see if your reminders work properly again.
WLM alone puts 2+ duplicate notifications on my device on every soft reset.
For example, I want to check my IMAP e-mail account automatically every hour, but only in the 10-23 time interval. The reason, besides data traffic reduction, is that the notification sound wakes me up when I sleep.
Is there a program that can do that, while still being integrated with the windows mobile mail client (so that I receive warnings in SPB panel, Xperia panel, today screen etc.)?
Thanks!
rk-OSR (from xda somewhere) lets you set specific times. It's got a badly designed UI, but works fine when set up properly.
PhoneWeaver (commercial) lets you set up timed profiles to turn of the sound and phone between 00:00 and 09:00 and so on. It's got a bunch of options to make it fit your needs.
G-profile from Ageye lets you setup time based profiles that can let you turn off the sound form new emails... Means you can still recieve them and but will not be waked by them!
G- profile has a lot more benefits as well, downside is I experice some battery drainage but not to bad.

Thanks! PhoneWeaver does the job, I will also try G-profile.
With the profile programs I just managed to "mute" the e-mail alarm sound, but it will be nicer to have a small program that changes the e-mail checking interval to None during specific hours.
Have you tried rk-OSR ?
Unfortunately two key PIM features though available in Windows Mobile have been hidden by the Sense UI
1. Snooze by N minutes
2. Attendees meeting acceptance tracking
1. Snooze by N minutes
When you get a reminder on the HD2 for a pending meeting you only get the option to "dismiss" or "snooze" In Windows Mobile (for as far back as I can recall) you always had the option to snooze by number of minutes you got to choose from a drop down menu i.e. 5 minutes before, 15 minutes before, 1 hour etc). This was a very useful function as you got a reminder closer to the time rather than get a reminder every 5 minutes as with the HD2. This can get really annoying if someone has booked a meeting with you with a reminder over 15 minutes ahead or you have many meetings. You end up spending loads of time just hitting snooze.
2. Attendees meeting acceptance tracking
When you book a meeting with several people windows mobile shows the invitees of that meeting and their acceptance reply i.e. declined, accepted, no response. Again the SENSE UI has hidden this so you just get a list on invitees.
It is very useful to me as you need to know if the meeting is worth running based on reponse to the meeting invite.
Anyone got any suggestions/tweaks etc?
1) BsB Tweaks has a setting to re-enable the time options in the notifications.
2) Make a shortcut to Windows\Calendar.exe, and you get the standard WM calendar view

thanks whacky! all loaded up and now i have my reminder times back, cheers pal
Can anyone help me with a very annoying problem that occurs on my HD2?
I very often have reminders for appointments
- that never had any reminder settings
- that are back in the past for a long time
- that are in the future
As soon as I try to open/edit these appointments from the reminder window, I always find, that the appointments really had no settings for alarms or that they have quite different settings compared to the time, the reminders are triggered.
I also found, that, in most of the times, these false reminders go off, accompanied by another correct reminder (but not everytime!).
Anyone else having these problems? What can I do?
Thanks a lot for helping!
noone???
