My work, unfortunately, uses Groupwise and I'm gonna get no support in getting a Groupwise mobile server or anything setup, so I'm stuck with syncing local for contacts and appts and tasks. I am, however, using and IMAP access to get my emails, and this works pretty well with the default Pocket Outlook email client.
One thing missing is that I have a couple of subfolders where I have rules that automatically direct emails from like my Boss or other people into the folder so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle of other stuff. However, I'm not getting notification when new emails are pulled into those folders. If I go into my email program I can see that I have new emails there, but I get the buzz or message icon that I have new emails. Is there anyway to make it so when new messages get pulled into the subfolders that I also get notified?
Ideally I'd REALLY like to stick with the default email program as I'm also using Mobile Shell and mobile shell apparently only integrates with the default email app.

I would like the same.
I have never found a fix to this issue and IIRC it is a limitation of the software.
I am using gmail so I just set up forward rules and dummy accounts. So I had account X with sub directory Y I have the email intended to Y get forwarded to account A and set A as a separate account. I dont know if this would work with mobile shell ( if it only looks at the outlook account)

It is indeed an Outlook issue. It only sends alerts on mails in the inbox. On my exchange server, the emails are redirected on the server before Outlook ever sees that they touch the inbox and thus no alert.
The only solution is some sort of third-party app, that would be nice.
If you're using Groupwise as your mail server, what is the email client you run on your workplace computer? And your workplace computer OS?
If your accessing Groupwise mail through Outlook on your work computer, your rules can be setup as client side instead of server side rules. If Groupwise behaves like a MS Exchange then your client side rules would only process when you're logged into your Outlook client. So when you're not in front of your PC, you wouldn't move your mail from your Inbox. Thus making them invisible to Pocket Outlook.
Or you could setup some special notification or delayed move rules. Again assuming you're using Outlook. Ornic InboxRules can be used to create some complex rules if you go that route. I haven't personally used it, but I used the predecessor to it called CaTrap to parse the sender, subject, and parts of the body into a another email and forward that via SMS to my phone.
If you can manage to get stuff to your Pocket Outlook Inbox, there are a few good tools that will give you advanced notification options on your phone. See this thread for details. Hope this helps to get you started.
You can see on http://www.magica.ro/pda_pocket_checkmail.php an application which solves your problem; it works together with ActiveSync and Outlook Mobile in order to alert users about unread mails in Inbox and Subfolders.
You can test it by downloading the demo version.
We published version 2.0 of CheckMail application.
New features are:
- displays messages on "Today Screen";
- audio alert when new messages are received;
- audio reminder if the new messages where not read (the interval when these verifications are made is selectable by user);
- by taping on CheckMail application, user can open Messaging application (Outlook);
- user can select in CheckMail application not to check Inbox (only subfolders).
Visit http://www.software.magicashop.ro/pda_pocket_checkmail.asp to see details and demo application.
When I look in the Windows program Messages I see SMS/MMS, Outlook mail and setup Email.
Now here's my problem. I sync (pushmail) with Intellisync. That works great, for many years now. My mail is stored in the Outlook mail-folder.
I'd like to use TouchFLO's Mail but that does not work. I see in the big bottom-icon this envelope with the number of unread mail messages in a circle.
But the screen says: No accounts.
Which means that this mailprogram of TouchFLO works half with Outlook mail: it only counts unread mail, but cannot handle it.
Or is it possible to integrate?
Thanks.
So I've configured a mail account on my WM6.5 Touch Pro 2 using Windows Live Mobile (and it shows up as a Hotmail account).
If I *create* a new e-mail from the device using the Hotmail account, the recipient will receive a plain text e-mail. The same is saved in Sent Items. That's fine.
Now, if I'm *replying* to or *forwarding* an e-mail -- regardless of if the thread is HTML or plain text -- the recipient will receive an HTML e-mail with my text in Times New Roman, and all line breaks in my response removed! The same is saved in Sent Items.
This is extremely annoying as:
"Thanks for your help.
See you later,
--J."
Turns into:
"Thanks for your help. See you later, --J."
I can't find a way to get line breaks into my e-mails when I'm replying or forwarding!
Is this normal behaviour for Windows Live Mobile push mail? I'm not having this issue with my POP or IMAP accounts on the phone, just the Hotmail account.
If it matters, I'm on MightyROM 2-10-10 and the Windows Live version is 10.7.0061.0500.2000.
And here's one more twist:
If I reply to / forward an e-mail, but before sending do a Save To Draft (and reopen from the Draft folder), and then send, the whole thread gets converted to plain text, and then my line feeds are retained.
So I suppose that's one workaround, but it's pretty annoying to have to convert a whole thread to plain text just so that I can have line breaks in my e-mail response!
Any ideas? Am I alone on this??
I'm not sure if it's possible (Verizon probably would have included htc messaging client if it could), but is there a way to enable SMS inbox rules and still keep the messaging client? When I get a voice mail, I get a text message that starts with //VWM, and without the messaging client, this gets filtered out of the SMS inbox and it let's me know I have a voice mail. With the messaging client in, it does not use any inbox filtering.
Just wondering if it's possible or anyone know anything about it?
Thanks,

I have my wife and my phones syncing with our Exchange server. The problem we are running into is that the mail app doesn't display HTML e-mail correctly. It shows the simple text version of the mail. This causes problems with some links that my wife receives for her work from the MLS realty website. They are long, complicated links and the mail app doesn't mark them as links correctly so that they can be opened. I even tried to copy and paste out the URL, but I couldn't find any way to copy and paste from within mail. Am I missing something, or is there really no way to copy and paste from mail? Also, how can I enable the mail app to view HTML mail?
Bump......
Just as a followup to my own question...
The HTML mail problem with Exchange is only with Exchange 2003. I added an account hosted on an Exchange 2007 server and it displayed HTML mail fine. I even found a whitepaper from Microsoft that mentions one of the new features of Exchange ActiveSync in Exchange 2007 to be syncing of HTML mail, so it is on the server end. The iPhone mail app and Touchdown for Android both display HTML mail from an Exchange 2003 server fine, so they are doing something to overcome this limitation.
