Outlook function with my Hotmail - Touch HD General

Is there a way to use outlook for recieving mails from hotmail?

pop3 access
you will need pop3 enabled in your email account and the configure it with pda.
pop3 access is paid with hotmail. Gmail offers free pop access.

are we talking for your phone or your PC?
If it's for your PC then ajipta is right and you have to pay for hotmail plus.
If this is for your phone just sign into windows live. It works just the same as outlook and is free!!!

There is a way of configuring hotmail to be read from within Outlook on the HD.
Something about configuring Live when you set it up to sync with Outlook. Works a treat for me. Haven't tried sending but I only download my hotmail, I use other accounts to send.
Regards

Use "Microsoft Office Outlook Connector" (google it)
Install this and you'll have all your hotmail emails in Outlook.
Then use Windows Live on your HD to setup your Hotmail account as a push email service.
Your emails on your phone and pc are kept in sync !!
Works Great + It's FREE !!

There's a second solution for the PC that doesn't need Outlook at all. Get Windows Live Mail (free) and ....voila....you have a spiced up version of Outlook Express with almost full Outlook functionality and it works with Hotmail and all other POP3 or IMAP providers. I use it to manage 6 accounts and I'm very happy with it
On the phone. Just sing in to Windows Live and you will get Hotmail in messaging. Check "As Items Arrive" in the sync options and you have push mail You don't need to have Windows Live on the phone running all the time. Once configured Hotmail works on it's own.

Hiya,
I dont see any option on logging onto windows live , to check on arrival..
Where is it please.

Any way to Config OUTLOOK to send/ Receive?

Hey all.
At home I've my desktop outlook setup to my pop3 email.
Is there anyway to set this account so I can send/ receive to see if there is new mail - or (as I think is the case) do I have to setup a separate pop 3 account to be able to initialize send/receive.
Cheers fellaz!

I was asking the same question on other forums, but it seems that no1 considers this as a "normal" question; I have never got a reply...
When u sync your Universal with your PC, the emails are automatically downloaded into your Outlook E-mail account automatically.
To check your emails on the move, you'll need to set up a new POP3 account with the same settings as per your PC's Outlook....... and when u do a Send/Recieve, it's connected via your GPRS. E-mails downloaded into your Universal will still be downloaded onto your PC when u do a Send/Recieve on your PC's Outlook....That means the same email will appear in both the Outlook E-mail and POP3 accounts on your Universal
Wonder if I'm making any sense......

You do make sense, but… you have just explained to us what we’ve already knew. I would just like to have normal SEND/RECEIVE in pOutlook without having to setup the same thing on the side (my Yahoo pop3). And after that they could synchronize normally…
I hope that I made some sense now…
:?
Yup perfect sense,
the phrase that airbag14 was looking for was:
'no you can't, not to our knowledge'

Or just use exchange

I struggled for quite some time to make email work 'properly' on using my MDA Pro.
First, note that I use Outlook on the desktop. My situation is complicated because I have multiple accounts that I want to sync.
What I found was:
1. Syncing desktop & pocket outlook mail is useless, unless one uses exchange. There is no way to send and receive mail short of syncing with the desktop. And given that activesync 4 cannot sync over the net, means that messages I want to send are stored until I manage to get close to my desktop. Totally stupid design. Someone must have been smoking illegal substances when s/he came up with it.
2. Switching both desktop and PPC to POP sort-of works, but there are severe problems. The first is that a pop account on the PPC is completely separate from the outlook-synced account, so messages appear twice on the PPC. The second is that if either the desktop or the PPC delete messages off server, then the other device gets confused. Copying a message to another folder on the PPC causes the message to be removed from the server, so that it never arrives in the desktop. Read message indications are not reliable. etc etc.
3. Switching to IMAP on both the desktop and the PPC works the best. One ends up with a set of IMAP folders on both the desktop and PPC, separate from the 'normal' outlook inbox (which are no longer used). Operations on either the desktop or PPC are reflected in the other device when mail is checked. Of course, it is absolutely imperative that both devices download messages, not just headers.
So, in the end I have a set of IMAP folders on both devices for each account. Both devices are set up to download messages + headers. The desktop downloads the entire message + attachments. The PPC downloads 15K of the message and no attachments. Deleting a message on one deletes on the other (when mail is checked). Reading a message on one caused the message to be marked 'read' on the other.
Messages sent from the PPC show up in desktop outlook's IMAP sent items folder. The reverse is not true, because desktop outlook puts sent messages into a generic 'sent items' folder, not the IMAP one. This is not a problem for me.
I have turned off activesync for all mail folders, because sync is done using IMAP. I still use activesync for contacts etc.
FWIW, IMAP in desktop outlook has a few problems. The worst is that sometimes it decides to duplicate a message. IMAP is also a bit more sensitive to network glitches, "disconnecting" from the server and requiring outlook to be restarted to reconnect. In addition, as messages are left on the server more-or-less permanently, one might run into quota problems.
mailbox copy
I stumbled on this mailbox problem here again.
I got exactly this issue, as my provider gives me Pop3 (can't get imap to work), and I cant reply on mails when i'm out (outlook mailbox has no send-receive)
Now I figured out, that in case if I COULD do an mail-box copy on my device from outlook-inbox to anonther account inbox, and before syncing do and send-items-box copy back to outlook send-items-box, this would solve a BIG part of my problem.
Has anyone EVER heard of an app that can let you copy whole mailboxes between accounts on your PPC device?
I also posted this question befor but to be sure are you all saying in a round about way.........
i ave a pop email account on my laptop, this i sync with a cable to my Exec, And on my Exec i also have a pop3 account the same account as on my laptop....
so if i am out ( and my laptop is not on) i use the pop3 account on my Exec for sending and recieving mail no problem, BUT if whilst out i see from my Sync,ed email from the laptop befor i left in the morning a email i need to repley i cant, i wish i could read the email then tell it to reply / send via the proper pop account on my Exec not the sync account
Do you all have this problem
Thanks
John
I prolly dont understand the problem fully, because I think it has a simple answer. On your PPC dont sync the mail from outlook through activesync but set up a new (p-outlook) pop3 account with the parameters from the pop3 outlook account (minus the smtp-server offcourse, this should be the smtp of your phone operator). I have this setup and can send/recieve mail on my MDA Pro. When I get home I recieve all mail from that day on my pc, storing it on my pc. At the next send/recieve on my MDA Pro, all the mail collected by the pc will dissapear (on the MDA Pro) and new mail will arrive. If you want you can sync the outlook mail with your PPC but it will function as a old-mail-database next to your p-outlook pop3 account.
what I did was:
1. I Created a new mail account - POP3 - and configured it to be read just in O2 exec.
2. I configured my mail account to forward all mail to the mail account I created for the PDA, and also keep messages in my mail account, so I can read them in my PC as well.
3. I dont SYNC mails, just check them by using WIFI/GPRS/3G.
This is not very "polite" but works for me. anohter solution, IMAP, another, REAL MAIL from Vodafone.

outlook email vs. pop3 gmail

Would someone kindly explain why I cannot send/receive email from outlook inbox when not syncronized? My stand alone outlook 2003 is configured to my gmail pop3 account. The outlook 2003 works great on the laptop. The active sync is working fine. in short everything is great with the pairing.
Do i need to create a new pop3 account on the hermes with the same details? Is this mandatory (i think it is)?
Will this syncronize with outlook 2003 cleanly?
Assuming my thoughts are correct this means:
1. while not attached to the laptop oulook, i send and receive via pop3 gmail on hermes.
2. since the mail goes through gmail, i will collect it for archiving when i send/receive from laptop
3. ultimately it will all reside in outlook2003 and sync back to hermes.
I just hate the idea of needing to create a 2nd account on the hermes...
Thanks in advance.

As far as I understood your questions:
1) you're right in general so...
2) to fully use your pop3 e-mail account (your gmail) on BOTH devices: PC + PPC - you need to create pop3 e-mail account _on each_ of them. It's a must. You should also keep in mind, that if you want to store your e-mail messageû on PC (laptop) in Outlook 2003 you need properly adjust the following pop3 account setting on your PPC device - set "leave copies of messages on server" option.
Having done this you will receive copy of all messages to PPC, originals to PC, and the only problem is that you will need to manually delete copies of your e-mail messages on PPC. At least how it works for me.
It maybe possible to setup an automatical delete of those PPC-copies of messages from pop3 account, which were deleted on server, but i don't know.
The only way around it (probably - as I never used it by myself) is what you have now: your e-mail are going to.from your PPC through synchornization with PC, which in its turn is connected to gmail pop3 account.
Good luck!
where on the hermes is the function for "leave messages on server"? i have the button active on the outlook 2003 on the pc. i have it checked on the gmail account settings. on hermes? thanks....ST

In WM5 there in no option to "Leave messages on server". this is done automaticly. In WM5 the messages will stay on the server untill you
1) Delete them on the Hermes = Deletes them off the server
2) Download them to you PC that deletes them off the server
So if you get POP mail on your Hermes only delete messages you do not want to go to your desktop.
I am using gmail as the mail server and i access the pop mail via both:
1. outlook 2003 on PC
2. pop3 account on hermes
Seems i cannot access gmail from both and have outlook 2003 remain current with gmail server. Outlook 2003 does not 'pull down' messages that were accessed by hermes. And the real kick...with a subsequent send/receive the mail on hermes disappears. All mail is on gmail so nothing truly missing, just 'holes' in my outlook 2003.
Is there a better/different/alternative device I should look into?
Should I just disable outlook 2003 email?
should I just get a freakin pen, paper, and some stamps!
Thanks all...ST

Activesync - Mail Push with multiple servers?

Hi guys
I'm wondering whether it is somehow possible to override the limitation of Activesync in WM and sync mails with more than 1 server?
I use mail-push for corporate mails, but would like of course to sync also my private mail2web - account.
what's the latest on this? sorry to revive such an old topic.
As far as I know, you'd have to use an alternative client to sync with multiple servers/
What if I want my handheld to sync to one exchange server just for email and another for contacts, calendar, and tasks?
At this time ActiveSync only supports 1 server.
mail from one exchange server, calendar/contacts from another...
Thanks to zim2323 on ppcgeeks:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=742617
Thought I would share it as i've been trying to figure out how sync my corporate email & calendar via one activesync server (company) and google contacts via another (the google server). So now I have both personal email (gmail IMAP) and work email (Exchange) and my personal contacts imported into the native contacts list.
Hope someone else finds this useful.
BTW, I also set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\EnableNonLocalCrossPollination to "1" instead of "0".
And now???
No news about multiple accounts setup?
As gmail is now provideing push access this becomes more than frustrating to be limited to one push server!!!!!!
You're too lazy MS!
Activesync does support multiple servers if you are not syncing the same items with both.
For example:
I sync my calendar and contacts with google sync and sync just my email with the company I work for.
You just have to go into the pocket outlook and create a new account as if you were creating a pop3 or imap account and then select Exchange Server. You however can NOT sync contacts or email or anything with both.

Can you have two outlook accounts sync?

Hi as in Title can you have two outlook accounts on device?
I have my private one and work one and would like to have bought.
When I start outlook on my PC it asks me which profile to use, when I sync for first time I get the same question so I select one of them. After sync is done and I try to sync again with second one I get an error. Also as work one is exchange I tried to setup exchange account that does not work to well any help on that (it does not even have half of PC exchange account setup options).
Is there a way to setup exchange account on PC and sync those settings?
No, you cannot "sync" two Outlook (Exchange) accounts via ActiveSync at the same time. However I assume you are not using exchange on your private mail, but rather POP3 og IMAP. If so, you can set up additional email accounts on your phone. I recommend that you add an IMAP account (if your private email supports that) and set it to check for new emails regularly.

Hotmail in Touch2

Well.. I want my Touch2 to have my hotmail synced with it. Whenever i try to they just bring me to opera and ask to use www.mobile.live.com
I downloaded Outlook 2007 and sync my hotmail with outlook then i bring in a usb and use ActiveSync and once ive synced it. I look at my outlook section of the text and i see nothing..
Please teach me how to make it sync .. i want to have the 2unread messages thing on my email part of my TouchFlo.. it feels so good to know i've got emails
Please help me. Thanks
I've been trying and trying for past few hours
I tried this

and it does not seem to work..
Please please do help me out here.
Thanks in advance.
If you want your Hotmail mails in your WinMo to be synced with Outlook -
1. Make sure that Email check box is checked i.e. when you are syncing - Email is shown in the list of items to be synced.
2. In outlook, you will find two folders, Personal Folder and Hotmail. The Hotmail folder is NOT synced with Activesync. Simple drag all mails in the inbox from Hotmail Folder to Inbox of Personal folder. That should work.
Unless you have a GPRS connection the link you have described will not work.
Hope it helps

Load up the messenger application on your device, it should ask you to log in and if you want to sync your email...
But in all honestly, you're better off setting up a gmail account and using activesync on your device - it will give live mail, and sync contacts and calendar all the time automatically.
I've made a Gmail account. And i've synced my Hotmail with Gmail. It will take a few hours or days. Then i synced my Microsoft outlook 2007 on my laptop with Gmail. Connected the USB and successs!! I synced my Gmail with my phone.
But i dont understand why i cant send out or receive any email? I'm using my WiFi. Is it possible to Send/Receive while using WiFi instead of GPRS Internet cause thats very expensive ^^
But anyways, thanks it works. If only i could send/receive mails now.. Hopefully not by GPRS.

Depends how you've set up gmail...
you need to set up gmail as an exchange server, with the address m.google.com, and sync mail, contacts and calendar only. Then you get true push email, you don't need to conenct activesync to your pc at all, should all work over wifi.
What do you mean? How do i check that settings?

Go into activesync, then congigure server. Try and delete the server source you have, then create a new one.
Username iis your full gmail address, server is m.google.com, leave all security settings ticked.
hi, i had the same problem, i resolved it this way:
when you want to configure your hotmail account like any other email in your mobile,
i think the problem is that the Touch 2 (or WM6.5) has some mail-server account settings pre-configured, and the hotmail one is wrong. i managed to use hotmail both as IMAP and POP3 by just entering a wrong e-mail address (like [email protected]), then entering the right serer settings for pop3 or imap (found in hotmail's help by searching pop3 or imap), and finally, after finishing the configuration, just edited the e-mail settings and altered the email address with the right one (@hotmail.com).
now it's working perfectly, just like gmail or any other mail service.
hope this helps.
