So in the active sync schedule, I have the item 'send outing items immediately' enabled. I therefore would assume an outlook emails I send should NOT sit in my outbox until I either for AS to 'sync' myself, or a new email comes in and it's 'pushed' to my device (the outbound mail is then sent). But it most definitely does not send the mail immediately. Just did a test and it sat for almost 10 minutes before I received a different email on my device in which case activesync cleared the outbox.
What am I missing?
Hey - did you ever find a solution to this issue? Driving me crazy.
had the same problem. Went away when I did a hard reset

Can anyone please help with a problem I have noticed on my Imate Jasjar. I have configured Push Email and mail is being received realtime as it should. My difficulty is when replying or sending a new email it will remain in the Outbox on the device until another new message arrives from the Exchange Server or a manual Sync is initiated on the device.
Is this normal behaviour?
I have ticked 'Send outgoing items immediately' under Schedule in ActiveSync settings but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
Has anybody else noticed this?
Hi,
Did you find a resolution for this?
I have a XDA Mini and just set it up with DirectPus exchange. Emails are arriving on the device okay, but send items seem to sit in the outbox. They only go when I receive another email or force a sync.
Like you I have ticked the "Send immediately" box but that doesn't work.
This problem is making the directpush more or less useless as I keep forgetting to force a sync and then hours later realise why I haven't had a reply - it's still sat in the outbox!!
Help!

Rbmerlin,
I found a solution - with no thanks to Imate or Microsoft though. (Both blamed each other for thee problem and no one wanted to take any responsibiity!)
The solution is to set ther ActiveSync on the device without using the PC ActiveSync. Initially I set up ActiveSync on the desktop and the settings propogated to the device which was synced.
By trial and error I discovered that when ActiveSync is setup on the Jasjar by itself all is good and the Sync functions as it had with previous non-push roms.
I have tried this with serveral of my customers devices and problem is resolved. Hoping rhis helps you out.
Hi
I've been trying to set up my microsoft exchange email on my device. I've input all the settings and when its at the end, it says "synchronising".
There's no progress bar and doesn't tell me what its doing. I told it to sync contacts and email (after 15min was still 'sync-ing')
Then I told it to sync just email (still took ages and didnt finish 'sync')
So I cancelled everything and maybe I'll set it up as a normal email rather than do it through Outlook as a proper 'exchange server' type setup.
It's a college email - so there's endless contacts and my inbox is around the 80mb mark. Does this affect the time it takes to sync?? And more importantly, does it download all the contacts and emails onto the phone??!!
Can someone please give me some insight into this sync-ing process and also answer some of my questions. Thanks so much!
oh and it also says server could not be reached or something when I connected my phone to activesync and 'microsoft exchange' was sync-ing
So I set up the email to sync email "as it arrives" in the settings. Which only seems to be in affect for the first few days. Now it sync "as it wants to".
Once in a while I'll get an email right a way. Most times I have to send/receive a bunch of times, soft reset, sync with Windows Live and hope that it finds a few more.
As well the inbox should always hold 50 emails. Now when I delete emails from my inbox on the phone it doesn't sync with the server and days later I log into hotmail on my PC and those emails I deleted are still there. So it's only removing them from my phone's inbox.
I tried clearing my Windows Live login and everything and re-doing it and setting it up from scratch again but it seems to fall back into this same routine after another day or so.
Anyone else experience this and find a way to resolve it?
I've set up my exchange information and can receive all my mail from my corporate server just fine. But when I send any mail, it moves into the Outbox and sits there and never sends. I've even gone to the global outbox and clicked on the button that says to send them.
Anyone experience this? I've rebooted just to make sure it wasn't a temporary thing.
I found this is a pretty wide-spread Android flaw. I only searched the Epic forum, bad me. Looks like you either need to buy Touchdown (which h as its own set of problems) or possible fiddle with something administratively on the exchange server.
I'm sending and receiving just fine through Exchange. The mail even shows up on my outbox on my desktop.
Just an update. It was an administrative thing on our exchange server that allowed receiving to work but not sending. All working now!
I like some of the options from Window Mobile better - like selecting what folders to synch and scheduling options for downloading (don't download work email at night), but this'll do I think.
I've just re-flashed and totally rebuilt my HD2 because my e-mail (both Hotmail and regular POP/SMTP) totally stopped syncing. Now that I've rebuilt the phone, everything seems back to normal for now, but I've got an annoying issue when my e-mail syncs: Everytime it syncs in the background, it displays my Inbox on the screen! So, I'll often bring the phone out of standby and find my Inbox on there. Or, I'll be doing something else on the phone and, suddenly, my Inbox will appear out of nowhere. Very irritating.
In addition to the above, the HD2 regularly 'forgets' my sign-on credentials to Windows Live and prompts me to enter them again when it tries to sync. This is despite using 'Save password'.
Anyone else experience this? Any fix?
Thanks.
Check your date. I once had this issue with an incorrect date. If the date is set to the future and you have email set to sync "last x days", it won't get mail from the future.
Thanks, but date is correct and I have my mail set to sync items as they arrive.
