Probably not X1 exclusive, but a pain for all X1 users nonetheless.
Has anyone figured out how to sync all Hotmail folders, and not just the inbox? I haven't found any evidence of this being a known issue.
Thanks
You must select all the folder in option-folder in outlook mobile.
Navigate to your hotmail inbox
Menu: Tools: Manage Folders:
then tick the folders you want to sync.
I only found out yesterday that if you want to rotate between your hotmail sync folders and your mms/sms folders and your outlook folders, just use your right and left button (to the side of the optical mouse)
Another related question: can you only have 1 Hotmail inbox? I have 2 addresses both of which I use regularly, but I can only seem to add 1 of them.

I have about 20 sub folders off my main inbox for exchange server 2003. Only the items in my main inbox are counted as items unread on my device. If i have say 4 emails in another folder, it does not show that they are unread unless i click the inbox and switch to that folder. I want to know if i have unread messages in all my folders just from looking at the today screen. Is there a fix for this? Also push mail only seems to work for my main inbox too, not for the subfolders, i have to manually syncronize to get the rest of the messages to download. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Similar problem
I'm not even able to get the email from the other folders on my cell phone. Only email from my inbox comes in - are there any settings I can change for this?
yea. with the mail inbox open go to manage folders, then you can tell it which folders to sync
Is that not because of how outlook works?
I think it's always been like that: It just tells you how many mails you have in your inbox, subfolders are not included...
Hi,
I'd like to configure Windows Mobile to make that the delete mail action in my gmail account archives the mail instead of deleting it.
I've read some post over the web talking about this issue, and giving some solutions, but none of them for Windows Mobile.
In essence, the solution implies to change the "label" that is associated with the delete action, so it must change from "[gmail]/trash" to "[gmail]/All mail" (this is my own interpretation of what I've read, very simplified ), but I don't know how to do this. I've searched the registry and the file system looking for some configuration entries, but I've been unable to find any
Any ideas? Is this possible to do?
(my ppc is a HTC TouchHD, by the way)
thanks
1 of the differences between imap and pop3 is that
imap dont delete the mails
you should try to change to pop3 in your pda
Use the IMAP connection and just move the messages to a folder on your PPC, this will change the tags in your gmail account. Thus moving the email from your Inbox to the folder of your choice.
Hi again,
Thanks Rudegar and Deedee for your replys. (sorry for my delayed answar, but I've been out of home some days)
Rudegar, I've been testing the pop3 access, but I have a problem. I use POP (with MS Outlook) in my main computer, so I always have my mails there and organized as I want (folders, subfolders, filters to delete, move, etc...) This is my main "mail box" and I like it this way 8·). The problem now is that if I download one mail from one pop3 "reader" (be it the PC or the PPC) the other one "loses" the mail. I suppose that gmail marks the mail as downloaded by pop so it is not "served" anymore. This makes the pop option "not an option" 8·(
Deedee, I've been playing a little more with the IMAP folders, and, as you say, I can move the messages to folders. The problem here is that this is not so easy as simply deleting it, and letting gmail to keep it archived. What I want is to be able to delete the messages but to be sure that there are kept safe by google, just in case ;·)...
What I want to do is exactly what is described in this page (http://vjarmy.com/archives/2007/10/tutorial_easy_archiving_for_gmai.php), but I don't know if there is some way to do the same in Windows Mobile
Thansk again for your help 8·)
it's done! well... in fact it has been always done! 8·)
As a nice "side efect" of using a spanish version of Windows Mobile, mails are never marked as "Trash", but as "Elementos eliminados", what, of course, gmail does not understands and treats it as a normal label. So emails are never sent to the trash folder, wich is what I wanted! 8·)
So problem solved! Thanks again for your pattience 8·D
Outlook Mail downloaded to my Pro only stays in my Inbox for a day or two before "disappearing" from the device. The mail remains in webmail on the server, but how can I keep the mail on my Pro? I see a menu option to "move" mail, but I don't see an option to create a new folder on the Pro. When I create a new folder on the desktop, the folder does not get created on the Pro after I sync.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Try changing the "options" for email in activesync - you are probably only asking it to synchronise the last few days of mail.

Disappearing when Not Syncing
Sorry that I wasn't clear. The mail is "disappearing" from my Inbox on the device when I retrieve mail wirelessly, not at the time of syncing. My sync setting appear broad enough not to impact the mail in my Inbox on my device.
Also, has anyone successfully added other folders to the Outlook tree on their device? I don't see any functions on the device to perform that. And, folders created on the desktop do not sync to the device.
even if you sync wirelessly your phone uses the activesync settings to dictate how it deals with your exchange server - have a go at changing the settings and see if I'm right
You can add folders by going to Menu...Tools...Manage folders. Hold down the stylus on the folder that you want to create a child to and a menu will pop up.
hope this helps

Solution for Folders
Thanks for solving my folders problem. The solution was so obvious, but I keep forgetting about the popup menu when pressing the screen (a wonderful and useful WM feature). I'm still struggling with the mail disappearing the Inbox.
Hi,
The HD2 is my first HTC-phone, i like it so far, but i'm searching for a way to sync more folders than just my inbox using Exchange/Outlook-mail.
On my old phone (WM 6.1) i could go to folder-options (or something like that, i'm using the dutch version) and was able to select and deselect more folders.
I cannot find it on this phone, is this a WM 6.5 or a HTC-sense issue ?
(or maybe my own )
Regards,
Martin.
Just got mine on O2 - cant find the option either!
Did you have any joy??
go into your outlook inbox..select tools, then manage folders, then you can check all the folders you want sync'd
I've selected the folders I wanted to Sync on both my GMAIL and Google Apps account but it only downloads messages from Inbox. How do you get it to sync your sent mail and other folders?
Has anyone got extra folders syncd?
I am syncing a lot of folders in Outlook with our Exchange Server. As twisted-pixel wrote then you need to open Outlook E-mail and select Menu, then select Functions and then Manage Folders. The options Functions cannot be seen on the screen and you need to scrool down to it (It took me some time to find it )
In the Manage Folders screen you are able to select the folders you want to synchronize.
I've configured Hotmail on my HD2 and have enabled my Inbox and several sub-folders for sync. However, if I view a contact (from the all people screen) and goto the mail tab, I only see mails that are in the root of my Inbox; mails in sub-folders are not shown.
Is this a bug? Anyone else noticed this?
I noticed it and find it realy anoying. There must be a way to se subfolders.
It's a crazy constraint. Although I'll be able to see new mails come into my Inbox, I won't be able to see them once I 'archive' them to my sub-folders. I've got sub-folders containing hundreds of mails from my contacts and there's no way of viewing them from the contact screen on the HD2... the only way is to go into the mail app. I REALLY hope this is fixed in the next official ROM.
Can anyone comment on whether this behaviour is apparent using other mail providers other than Hotmail?
Same behaviour with POP3 account and Outlook.
