Native email client deleting IMAP problems

So is anybody else having trouble deleting emails with the TyTN's PocketOutlook (not activesync because I already have an activesync account)? I use Fusemail, IMAP4, and have the delete settings set to delete immediately.
However, the next time my account syncs all the deleted emails come back. This doesn't happen to emails that I move to another fodler though
WTH????

This is a problem with how MS have implemented IMAP in P Outlook. I dont think it properly supports the Purge command which will remove emails permanently.

So, I guess that means that I gotta use Flexmail then...lovely

well two things, I found that Flexmail didn't run very well on my TyTN. Secondly, I found that by changing the deletion action to returning the mailbox rather than move to next message, I am able to press and hold the scroll wheel to bring up the menu options which is working out for me

Have you tried the new version of FlexMail? Any improvements?

I'm new to WM, so all I used was the '07 version. Functionality was improved, but it really slowed down my unit. Plus, it didn't integrate as well as I would have liked.

I have tries a few tools (sktools, webis tobox) and am not able to find any toll that will purge my acitve sync storage so that I can resync it again.
(I copied a mail form a pop account to the active sync storage and the frmat makes syncing inpossible).
Any smart people out there that know of a purge application for mail (have one for PIM).
PS search does not help much (for me anyway)

I installed the latest flexmail, and it was crap, then on uninstall I couldn't get outlook to work again...wouldn't even start, could be somethin I did....but I would recommend just getting a pop addy, or any other client than flexmail.

FlexMail 2007
I am fairly new to WM and IMAP, and I also had trouble with FlexMail the first couple of times I installed in on my TyTN, but I have just reinstalled it and made sure that I did NOT set it as my default client for Mail or SMS. Seems to be working much better and I am not getting the strange behavior that I had before (ie inability to disable Mail button even in sleep mode, not receiving voicemail SMS notification, etc.)
The one thing that does not seem to be working as advertised is IMAP IDLE mail check. I thought that it would wake up my unit from sleep mode but that does not appear to be happening.
Best,

FlexMail is undergoing a work over and has a beta out that is being looked at by a few beta testers.
It has an issue with IMAP (and a few others)

Short Question:
Does the integrated Outlook in WM5 or WM6 XDA Live support IMAP idle?

html email

I tried to find this on google, but no results turned back for windows mobile 5.
I awnted to know if i can install an add-on or program to support html email. let me know. thanks

As far as I know HTML email is only supported under WM6 and Exchange 07.

I use gmail and there used to my a link for html email but then they look it away. I copied the entire url for the html version and I favorite'd that one. If you try to do it otherwise it will redirect you to the gmail pda version, but using the direct (huge) link it will render in html.

All good and well but in my built in email client wm6 i cannot download headers when i could always do in the past. when i try to download email to my phone it just says receiving 1 of x emails then never shows the header. has anybody else had this problem?

I have no problems with it, make sure in your settings that either Download Headers only is selected, me personally I have it set to receive the whole email file.....Just wish there is a way to have it bring in all images at the same time, without having to manually download them on next sync.

HTML E-Mail is supported under WM6 by Pocket Outlook and it does not require Exchange 2007. I'm running WM6 Most Beautiful Edition and I have HTML E-Mail on my IMAP4 non-exchange account.
You can get HTML E-Mail on WM5 with third party apps like Flex Mail 2007, but my experience with that program was it was far too buggy to replace Pocket Outlook for me. IMHO your best bet to get good HTML E-Mail is to flash up to WM6.

Default mail app and today screen on 8525? (FlexMail)

On my 8525 I have installed flexmail 2007 which seems to be WAY better than the built in Outlook. I have enabled it as my default mail program. However, when I receive new mail and I click "1 unread message" on the today screen it opens Outlook. If I click on the mail notification window that pops up I also go to Outlook.
How can I force the 8525 to use FlexMail as the default mail client?

I haven't FlexMail installed any longer but if I remember right you can set it in the FLEXMAIL properties to force it as default messaging application.
Normally it asks during installation if you want to use it as default or not.

If you have a question regarding the 8525 which is a Hermes you should have posted your question to that forum.
Maybe if a MOD see's this they can move it over there for you.

My appologies. I thought the pic on the side looked like mine but I see the right category now. Please just delete this thread and I'll post new down there.
Thanks.

Outlook in WM - sending emails from Outlook Account

Hi Everybody,
I recently got TP2 rhodium. The 1st WM system for me.
I tried to use Outlook in a "natural" way but I found some simple things I can't do.
Explain.
I have 3 accounts in my phone:
- "Outlook", which is synced with my company PC via ActiveSync.
- A "work account", that I use to receive and send emails using my company ISP (i.e. [email protected]) when I am away.
- A "personal account", that I use to receive and send emails using my personal ISP (i.e. [email protected]) when I am away.
Everything works: Outlook sync, work send-receive emails, personal send-receive emails.
The most simple thing I expect I can do is:
1) I sync Outlook via Activesync. So I get an updated copy of my pc inbox/outbox in my TP2. Including emails I didn't read yet.
2) I go away, get in the inbox of my phone outlook account and read emails. There's one I need to reply immediately!
3) I reply to that email, but...
the reply goes into the outgoing box but it remains there. It will be sent the next time I'll sync, but it will be next week.
I didn't find a way to use one of the 2 other accounts to send that email from inside the "outlook account". It's a reply, so I have to write it inside that account.
The most natural thing would be:
- an option in the "from" field allowing me to use one of the two accounts
- send the email
- watch it going in the outbox of my "outlook account", so that it will be synced the next time.
in addition,
if I send an email from my "work account", it will go into its outbox, but I cannot move it to the "outlook account" outbox, so that it can't be synced when I connect to my pc!!
I suppose many people encountered the same problem.
I tried to search, but I couldn't find any.
Anyone can address me to a solution?
I thank you all in advance.

Hi..
Thats what i did in the past.. i sync emails so that i know which ones i need to reply... but found it a hassle at times...
why not try using pop3 directly? Jus save a copy of emails on server.... i pop as and when i need... but only my outlook in laptop downloads emails.. i find it better in sense i have contorl when i use outlook.. but thats jus me and my 2cents..

Hi chuachongchee,
I hope I'll find a straight way for you and for me to do what I mean.
I can't believe it is not possible to do such an elementary thing with an almost 600€ gear and a WM at its 6th release!!! And such a cool design !!
Do outlook mobile developers ever work away from their pc?
I am not good in WM software "handling", but a lot of people is, and I am sure someone has already solved this issue.
Just hope I'll find one...

hi asamax,
Just confirming that I have a similar problem that would be solved if I could change the "From" field in the outgoing message (as with your problem).
I also have done a lot of searching and found nothing yet.
I have found that its possible to write "plugin" apps for
tmail (aka Outlook mail for WM) but found none that allow the change of the "From" field - annoying!

Don't mind,
I am sure this will be solved.
Such simple change + Such evident miss.
Please skilled-xda-developers write an outlook hacked rev. allowing:
- choose the account in the email "from" field
- copy/move emails between different accounts folders
- some additional options for each accounts would be useful: default c/c and hidden c/c recipients.
the 3rd in the list allowed me to solve this issue in my old Nokia E70 (!!).
I just put a rule for incoming mail in my PC outlook: when I receive a mail in whic i am in hidden c/c AND in the from fields, move it in the sent items folder. But it was not a very clean way... I expect more from my brand new rhodium!!!

Gmail emails not deleting?

Hi everyone,
I have searched the forum for similar problems but can't find anything. I have my email set to check email every 15 minutes. Even after I delete the emails from my phone, when gmail is checked 15 minutes later, the emails return once again as "new". On the computer version of gmail, the emails are still unread in the inbox.
How can I set the "delete" on the email tab to actually get rid of the email? (preferable send the email to the archive function of gmail)
Thanks in advance.

anyone?????

I have the save problem

Use activesync (with push) instead of POP/imap, works perfectly.

Mine did the same thing until I changed my mail settings to say "delete from server" and also "immediately" if you don't change your delete settings to immediate then it wont actually erase the mail until the next time it connects and downloads it all over again.

GMAIL not deleting - Windows Mobile 6.5
I'm running WinMo 6.5 Cell ROM on a Touch Pro 2 from HTC.
I have exactly the same problem. I delete GMAIL messages from the Inbox on my handset. Next time the phone does a Send/Receive it brings down all the new mail again from the GMAIL server. Basically the handset is not marking mail as being deleted, nor is it marking the mail as read on the server.
I'm using GMAIL in MAPI/SMTP mode on the handset as this is what is accepted by default when setting up the GMAIL account on the device.
I've no experience of using ActiveSync/PUSH for mail. How do you set it up?

I use activesync to download all my messages from google, It also pulled my calendar and contacts to the handset too, I found the instructions by going to: wwwDOTgoogleDOTcom/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299 (wont let me post outside links, so Dot = .) Also on section 11 before syncing everything, I synced each item individually first then switched them all on as I was getting errors.

ActiveSync and PUSH MAIL for Google Mail is the best alternative for being able to hardly experience inbox and retrieval errors.

to delete emails go into your inbox and when you delete, use the left softkey (the bin icon) to delete and not the sense menu.

Gmail not syncing
I had the exact same issue. I searched forever until I found what worked for me. It appears to be an issue is you restore using nandroid. Here is the link on how to do it.

remove the () () of course.
