Automaticly downloading emails

Hey,
I just set up my email account on my XDA II.
Little question about automaticly downloading emails.
On my spv e200 (also an HTC phone) I need to have my mailbox loaded before it download emails. What I mean with this: open the inbox and than go to the email tab (not sms).
Is this the same for the XDA II?
Or can my inbox be set on sms and the emails are still downloaded?
Cheers

when one set up ones mail account one have to choose if it should check mail every X minut and which connection it should use to do this so i asume very much that it'll still do it if you are in sms

Yes I did that
Just asking about the inbox.
Thanks for asking.

well i havent set that option on myself so i cant promise you anything but if it dont i would call it a bug

I have set 2 email account on my XDA2 or 1 (it s the same)
well if i programm my accounts to be checked every X mn i have to let the selector on the email account otherwise it wont connect and pop for my mails.
Of course it pop only the email account selected. so you can consider it is the same.
I can not automatically check for both of my mail accounts.
But if you let the selector on your email accout, you will also be notified for incoming SMS, whereas if you let the selector on the SMS account you will not be notified for any new incoming mail
not really a bug, but will be great from MS to correct thant in the next release

POP3 notifier for the HTC Universal?

There are a lot of POP3 notifiers for Windows.
Is there any POP3 notifier for the HTC Universal?
Here is what features interest me:
- check POP3 every X minutes (configurable delay) using minimal data transfer
- if I get mail from certain contacts (configurable), the program should ring and vibrate and show a notification
- start on startup, run all the time, but only check POP3 between configurable hours
Is there any program like this available?
I know that "push email" exists, but I hate Exchange, and I want to use my own POP3 (GMAIL) account without passing through an unreliable piece of software such as Exchange.
Thank you.

Well you could create a new mail (mail2) account that only checks for new mails.
Set it to : (Under Options)
1/3) Connect and check for messages every : Your interval
3/3) "Get message headders only", and disable message body
Sound And Notifications -> Notifications: New e-mail message
Set it to play sound and what other settings you wish.
If you then get a mail on your mail2 account that you would like to read, just switch to your Mail1 account, and recive it there
Should/could work even though it dossent do all that you want it to!

Thank you. This is a very interesting method.
I can do something like:
- forward mail from certain contacts, from GMail account 1 (main account) to account 2
- use the checking you described on account 2
This is very interesting.
It's true that this method does some data transfer, but so does "push email" - it sends the so-called "pulse" to the server periodically.
I'm surprised that no company has done their own "push mail" and stuff. These things are quite simple to program. If only I could get used to Visual C++ again...

Vibrate Only When Email Arrives From A Certain Acccount

I thought I'd try here...
Is there any way to make my Titan vibrate only when an email from activesync (exchange) arrives, and not when my Gmail IMAP mail arrives? I did some research and tried Phonealarm for a while now, it's not working for me. Their implementation is a workaround as far as I can tell (forcing another email account to behave as MMS alerts) and even that is not working right now. I think it's a "beta" feature.
I don't want sound alerts on emails, only vibrate alerts, and I only want vibrate alerts from my exchange account (work) and not from gmail account (personal...this account gets a lot of mail I could care less about).
It seems so simple but I cannot find a solution. Any ideas? Obviously, I'm using an HTC Titan and I'm also on WinMo 6.1.

Multiple email notification sounds

Hi,
Is anyone else experiencing this? I have an Exchange and IMAP accounts set up.
Occasionally my phone will make the email notification sound, then a few seconds later do it again. I only have new email in one of the accounts, and they are both set up for 5 minute polling.
Thanks

Email Alert

I constantly hear the email alert on my phone that I have a new email, but when I go to the mail tab, I did not receive any emails at all. Any ideas what's going on here and how do I fix that?
Thanks.

Not sure if youve already tried but when that happened to me with SMS notifications I:
Turned notification off then on, then soft reset. Turned notifications off then on again, changed tone settings, and it was good to go. Not sure if it will work for email notification though. Worth a shot.
Cheers.

If you're using Exchange, and you have an Outlook open and connected to the same Exchange somewhere, occasionally the Outlook will receive something that Exchange thought was legit, but Outlook thinks is junk (the spam filters are separate), so the e-mail will go to your phone but will instantly get pulled again because Outlook will have moved it from the Inbox to Junk E-Mail.
If you're using POP3 or IMAP4 then I'm of no assistance.
