I've just started using the Outlook Domino connector to enable me to use Outlook to access our Lotus Notes server, and more importantly, sync my Notes inbox, calendar etc with the i-mate without other third-party software (I was previously using mNotes from CommonTime which didn't totally satisfy my needs).
Whilst I'm now thrilled with the Outlook/Notes/i-mate sync scenario, which is working beyond my expectations, I'm a little hesitant to set up my Activesync to Exchange Server Account (from Club i-mate) which I also use for private email because I'm unsure whether this dual server via Activesync scenario will work (and I can't jeopardize my Notes mail / calendar integrity to check).
So, has anybody tried using Activesync to syncronize with their PC's Outlook inbox / calendar etc, PLUS a server sync with Exchange? What happens? Do you just end up with two Inbox items in Activesync? Does all your email etc from all accounts end up in the same PPC inbox (and then both accounts)?
Any first-hand experience would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi,
it is not possible to do both with ActiveSync. If you configure ActiveSync for server sync it no longer synchronizes with Outlook locally.
You can use IMAP or POP3 for your additional accounts, I am using Exchange for my main account and IMAP for other accounts and it works fine.
Okay Softworkz, that's what I was afraid of.
Unfortunately Clubimate don't allow POP (or IMAP) access for member email, so it's one or the other for me then.
Thanks for your comment.
Ooooh interesting - what was up with mNotes? =) Version 3.5 is out soon by the way - and I'm working on some stuff for our new website..
Hi Madkat,
I used mNotes on my original XDA and now my i-mate with great success for ages, until I made the mistake of creating categories for my contacts. Once I happened mis-type a category name and that was when I discovered that I couldn't delete them - at all.
No matter what I did I couldn't stop rogue categories from appearing in the drop-down list. After removing all contacts from the rogue category, and then deleting it on the i-mate (or Notes, it didn't matter), the rogue category would still appear in the drop-down list, and in the add / remove categories sceen as [category name] (not in master category list), or words to that effect. I also played around with the mNotes config app which is installed on the device (which was just about all I could find in the user manual relating to categories), but the manual didn't match what was installed (guess it hadn't been updated for that section), and I wasn't successful.
I actually posted a question on xda-developers about it, but wasn't able to sort it out. I just became frustrated in the end. I'm not sure I'd go back to it now because I'm so impressed with the Outlook Domino Connector and not having to use Notes for my e-mail at work - I hate notes as an email client, especially with all the 'customisations' our IT jerks have done; we don't have rights to do anything - can't even create rules to move mail to other folders based on content anymore. It's a shame they don't upgrade to Notes 6, but there you go.
TBH I hate Notes as a mail client too!! If I didn't have to do any Notes development I'd be using IMAP on the Domino server & Thunderbird on my PC.
I think it is worth mentioning, though, that during your 30-day evaluation you are entitled to full tech support by email and/or phone - bit late now though! D'OH.
i just do not want to open another topic....
i have a pc with win xp and ms outlook... ms outlook is set up with an exchange server for all items (email, calendar, tasks etc)
is it possible to sync, via activesync, my windows mobile device with the content of ms outlook on my pc? the purpose is to have the same calendar, tasks and contacts on my phone WM device also...
thanks
Hi all,
i noticed email in html aren't showed really well (design of the email looks pretty messy). Is there a software that will allow me to read complex emails correctly ?

nPop
Why don't you try nPop (http://www.wibble-wobble.com/wince OR http://www.nakka.com). It's a freeware.
When you donwload any e-mail message, select to see it using "external viewer": this will open Internet Explorer.
I want to use my 8125 with my IMAP account for push email. The way I see it should be pretty simple to make a program that looks for a SMS message (which I would set my email server to forward) that would then trigger pocket Outlook to check my IMAP account.
Does anyone know of a program that would do this or know how hard it would be to program it? I would be willing to pay (a small fee) for the right application.
Looks like I should have searched a bit harder before I posted - http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/index.php?action=expand,47016
Ill try it out and post my findings here.
I can't seem to get that to work on my device. Does anyone else have any ideas?
Hi, I have been using the app at www.vgsmail.com/ppc and it works great for me
fowen did you find something similar to this for the wm2003se system.
I also noticed that this only works with wm5.0 but my device is 2003se and all i have is a pop3 email client.
If you have a POP3, IMAP4 or hotmail plus account you can use Pocket X-Press for email push capability.
You can find informations here: www.pocketxpress.com
It is for WM2003 und WM5 devices with integrated GPRS/UMTS modem.
I have found that the native WM5 messaging program uses a huge amount of data to check mail. It seems to have the following problem -- it downloads more than message ids of previously downloaded emails evey time email is checked. This results in more than ten times the data use for Pop3 email, when compared to snappermail (a palm program). Unfortunately this program isn't available for WM5.
So what is the best Pop3 program? I am looking for an efficient one, preferably with a small footprint. I don't need exchange personally.
Lots of luck. You will not find a PPC mail app as wonderful as Snappermail, IMHO.
Try FlexMail or ProfiMail. Back up your PPC first
Qmail
I'm trying qmail; if it solves the problem I'll post about it. It runs from the miniSD card, which is nice. It has a million settings and a Japanese guide, which is a challenge...
I'm using qmail as well. It's very small and quick but it doesn't properly support landscape, which is annoying.
Best POP Mail
I have used QMail for quite a while, good product, frequent updates, a living site. Advantage: it's free.
BUT: it's a far cry from WEBIs' new Flexmail 2007. A real Blockbuster.

I was using the Flexmail trial before installing Qmail, and I can tell you, Qmail is about 100 times faster. Doesn't have nearly as many options though and isn't as easy to use.
Will flexmail run off the miniSD card and still check mail periodically?
Qmail v3 now checks periodically, even when installed on the minisd. On the other hand, it is in many regards more klugy than the WM5 messaging, especially with regard to the email editor, lack of today screen support, and support for landscape mode. Still, it uses much less data to accomplish the same thing, which is what drove me away from WM5 messaging. Having only used it for two days, some of the kluginess can probably be eliminated with the options.
Is Flexmail just a wrapper for WM5 Messaging?
I ask this because I tried Flexmail. It has many nice features, and a great interface. However, I am trying to find a "lean" program for use when I am in Europe, one that doesn't have the inefficiencies of the WM5 messaging program. It doesn't seem possible to run WM5 messaging and Flexmail simultaneously; clicking on messaging or /Windows/tmail.exe bring up Flexmail. This makes me think that Flexmail doesn't have its own mail checking engine.
In any case, it seems equally inefficient as WM5. My benchmarking on Qmail, in contrast, is that it uses less than 1/3 of the data that WM5 Messaging uses. I sent myself a variety bunch of emails, downloaded them with Messaging, checked again, deleted them from the server, and checked again, then repeated the exact process with Qmail, and the total KB used was 30% of the WM5 Messaging, according to SPB GPRS Monitor.
Go for either Qmail of FlexMail 2007. Also see the mailer roundup at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=569&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
Thanks, Menneisyys
I'm trying Qmail and nPOP. I like the simplicity of nPOP, and it the clear winner for minimizing data use (which is what started this; when I am data-roaming Europe, I need a more efficient email program than messaging).
The big problem with nPOP for me is that it can't search contacts for email addresses. Otherwise it works pretty well. I'd definitely use Qmail if there was an English manual. It is nice to have such programming control but frustrating that the descriptions of the commands are translated from Japanese.
Flexmail is as bad as WM5 messaging for data use, and uses a lot of resources generally. It is bloated, IMHO, but it does let one do about anything one wants.

Answered this at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1203&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
Thanks Thanks Thanks!
That is exactly what I needed to know! The problem I couldn't understand was how I would, with no new messages, get 100K of downloads, but it was grabbing copies of existing messages through autofetch.
That is very helpful, and just turning off autofetch when traveling will do the job!
Of course, there is still stuff I like about qmail...
FlexMail 2007 is seriously different than FM 2006...
I've been using FlexMail 2006 since May. But it was very slow, and had a propensity for losing track of things every so often. I've upgraded to FlexMail 2007 and it is significantly different. It is much faster, and I haven't had any problems with it since I started using it. I can't answer any questions about how much it downloads, since I haven't paid any attention to that - but I can say that it works with my data on my miniSD card, and the program installed on the main memory. (I like it this way because the main memory is faster, so the program is quite zippy from there.) I'm using a Cingular 8125. I was over-clocking this baby at 276 just so the old FlexMail 2006 would be usable, but I don't overclock now unless I fire up Opera...
I just download Qmail and I added one of my POP3 Accounts and it is fast. However, when I try to establish my Hotmail (Free) Accounts I have no success. Is this because of Hotmail (Free Account) or what do I need to do. I have an MDA with WM5
SSL
I think that is an SSL issue and you need to install the SSL software; read about that in a QMail thread. (I'm not an expert.) QMail comes with SSL software separately.
email 4 all on WM
GMail, Hotmail, Exchange, Newsgroups, and RSS all on the same Windows Mobile (WM5 and up) reader, with HTML, links, & attachments all working.
It is not a new reader- it’s qmail (qmail3) version 3.0.7. I am not an expert, and don’t have a clue as to all of the filter settings and crap that you can do with it, but I did figure out how to get all of the above working in ONE PROGRAM! Below are the workarounds and settings that I discovered.
I previously used Qusnetsoft reader for NNTP and RSS and Flexmail 4 for email. I was unhappy with the Flexmail viewer (no touch scrolling; scroll bar with stylus only) and email navigation from open mail to folders a bit of a pain. Qusnetsoft took too long to sync (nice interface though). I had used QMail3 before and liked it, but still use Hotmail and was bummed by MSN no longer supporting POP.
First… Download QMail (http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Internet-Utilities/Email/QMAIL-8837.shtml) for WM.
Then, for each account, In QMail, <Menu<Tool<Account<Add Account
GMAIL
Name=Gmail (or whatever)
Class=mail
Incoming=POP3 (or IMAP, but I’ll cover POP3 settings)
Outgoing=SMTP Then tap “OK”
In General Tab…

All other Settings are fine or adjust at your discretion.
HOTMAIL
First off, if you are not living in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France, Japan, Spain, Germany, Italy, or the Netherlands (Where MSN has made POP for hotmail available again) you’ll need to change your location in Windows Live or Hotmail to reflect that you now live in one of those places. The site I used for these settings is http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/...and-smtp-support-instantly-for-all-countries/ Once this is done, the Qmail settings are as follows…
Name=Hotmail (or whatever)
Class=mail
Incoming=POP3
Outgoing=SMTP Then tap “OK”
In General Tab…
Incoming=pop3.live.com
Outgoing=smtp.live.com
Name=your name

All other Settings are fine or adjust at your discretion.
Exchange
Not all exchange servers will work this way- your admin must have access enabled. I work for a school district and they have a web interface. Here are the QMail settings that get me in.
Name=Work (or whatever)
Class=mail
Incoming=POP3
Outgoing=SMTP Then tap “OK”
In General Tab…

All other Settings are fine or adjust at your discretion.
Newsgroups
Name=newsgroups (or whatever)
Class=news
Incoming=NNTP
Outgoing=NNTP Then tap “OK”
In General Tab… (Check with your service provider for NNTP access settings- here’s some for AT&T)
Incoming=news.sf.sbcglobal.net
Outgoing= news.sf.sbcglobal.net

Outgoing=Blog Then tap “OK”
Then tap “OK” and Then tap “OK” again
Select RSS from drop-down menu, tap-and-hold in the blank white space and select Subscribe to Feed…
Enter Feed Site eg. www.npr.org Tap Next
The Name should auto select (if you are connected to the internet). Tap “OK”
All other Settings are fine or adjust at your discretion.
I use an HTC Kaiser (AT&T Tilt) w/cooked diamond rom 6.1 and I don’t have a data plan- I have WIFI at home @ work, so I needed something that could load everything onto my device for offline viewing when out-n-about. If you open a message then tap ok, then <Menu<Edit<Select All then tap-and-hold any off the messages, select <Mark<Mark Download, then do a Sync or Roundup again (you can find these by tapping and holding icons on the bottom toolbar) you can download full emails/news articles/etc. Hope this helps someone

checkout http://community.seven.com/main.php. it consumes less memory and its easy on battery consumption also. Push email works like charm and I can sync n number of accounts with this.
