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?

gmail mobile access application on wm5

Hi,
I have spv c500,which I upgraded to wm5.
I am wondering hot to run on it the gmail mobile access application?
What Java virtual machine do you recommend me to Install? I need Hebrew charset support (Just for reading). Is there any way to sync my calendar and contacts with gmail?
Thanks.

You have two options to read gmail:
1. Activate POP forwarding in your gmail, then setup your gmail as a regular POP email account.
2. Get an exchange account and then forward your gmail to it, and then setup activesync. Depending on where you get the account, you might get other features (like contact and calendar sync). mail2web.com is one place that offers free exchange accounts that work great; this is the setup I am using.
Sorry as to your Hebrew question; I do not know anything about that.

Hi
gmail have java application to sync wm5 with gmail.
you can find it in http://m.gmail.com/app
The problem is that I can't find an appropriate Java Virtual Machine for it.
Any suggestions?

Problems downloading email to Wizard

Any reason why I should be failing to download Gmail and Outlook email to my MDA Vario? When gmail logs in via the messaging menu it shows that it is downloading headers but nothing shows in the inbox. As for Outlook email, on ActiveSynch it shows the number of emails that I have to be transferred to the mobile but it doesn't. What is wrong???
Also another thing, I have tried using the Gmail APP with Esmetec Java and Midlet manager but it fails. Esmetec has never worked with any java application I have downloaded. Is there a fix for this? I prefer Midlet Manager over Esmetec is there a way to remove/Uninstall Esmertec which is in ROM?

gmail java applet 1.5 has bugs.. use gmail 1.1 version.
you can install intent java midlet straight away on ur device..google for it.
FOR OUTLOOK SETTINGS
pop settings for gmail on pocket are different now
u have to add recent: for downloading emails from your gmail account.
EXAMPLE:
if your gmail email address is [email protected] then
user name for pop (downloading email) will be recent:[email protected]
user name for smtp will be [email protected] (No need to type RECENT for smtp)
is POP ENABLED in your GMAIL INBOX SETTINGS?
open your gmail inbox..click settings..then click POP and Forwarding..then click enable pop email for email starting today(sumthing like that it says)
then save settings..
then try it on ur pocket pc.
save and it wil work..mine is working just fine now..

Thanks for the settings, However they have failed to work for me. Using the gmail settings you gave me I get an "Error Syncronising" message. The old settings actually show how many emails i have but does not download them. I downloaded gmail 1.1 and it has worked on esmertec but I still need pop access for gmail.
I checked with my email and it is indeed activated unless I am missing something here. This is also the same problem with Outlook on activesync

Will HD2 US do aol / yahoo push mail? I've looked at the manual and no mention?

I've looked all over..and can't find a section that mentions push mail from yahoo, aol, etc.
I'm coming from the iPhone so the push mail works on the Yahoo side and I believe on the aol side.
I know that MS exchange has push feature to the phone but what about the other standards? gmail?
I noticed on Cookies HT there is a push mail icon but that did not work (i take it that's for ms direct push?)
Lastly...is there a setting or app that allows ALL mail to send / receive vs just doing one account at a time (annoying)?
Thank you!

the microsoft direct push functionality (supported on ALL windows mobile devices in at least the past 3-4 years) works with ANY microsoft exchange server.
this means it will work for gmail (i am using it myself!) because google has the exchange server on their end. google itself provides a generic windows mobile tutorial on how to set it up and you can find a video guide on youtube specifically on how to set it up on a stock HD2 (technique should work on custom ROMs too). my only additional advice is to back up your contacts (either to microsoft myphone or using pimbackup) before proceeding because the google sync can also upload your contacts to google, and you don't want your contacts to get nuked in case something goes wrong during the initial sync. another potential confusion you might face is that you will see the labels set up on gmail as folders on your device's client. by default, syncing of folders is disabled, but you can go into "manage folders" under one of the menus when viewing your inbox on the device to pick the folders that you want to sync in addition to the inbox. finally, the first sync may take several minutes (even an hour) depending on the duration you have set up to sync (i use a setting for last one month worth of emails) and on your connection speed (try to use wifi for the first sync).
i don't know about yahoo or aol but if they support the microsoft exchange server on their side, then push email should theoretically work in these cases also.
all in all, i rather like the functionality because it is highly configurable. you can even set up "schedules" such that it works in push mode on, say, weekdays from noon to midnight and switch to, say, 4 hour poll mode while you are sleeping.
then again, i haven't experienced push email on any other device such as the black berry or iphone so my view point is rather limited.

Simply put yes. I have yahoo pop3 servive and get my yahoo mail just fine on the HD2

pop3 in "poll mode" is different from push email, which is what the OP was asking about.
however, for most practical purposes, pop3/imap in quick poll mode (like once every 5 minutes) is really not that bad, but it might adversely affect battery life.
i suppose poll mode is fine for most of us but some individuals/businessmen might rely on quick email delivery straight to their phone so its more logical to consider poll vs push as two separate technologies in discussions!

Do the folders selected to be sync with inbox will sync automatically?

Hi,
I was searching for this and thank you for letting me know how to do it! I didn't know there is a "manage folders" option until I scroll down (Din knew I can scroll down, lol)
By the way, as mentioned above, do the folders selected sync automatically? Will they appear on the mail tab?
Thank you.

you can create an exchange account using your gmail login,if you have it,otherwise you can create a new gmail account and use it for send/receive your mail in push:in gmail web page you must add your yahoo account for check and than configure the exchange as i explane!

pop3 is NOT push. There is a delay. Depends on when you have it checking.

As far as i know, the default windows mobile does NOT support push email for yahoo. If you want push email, use seven like i did. Worked fine on my hd2.
http://community.seven.com/main.php
It will allow push email from yahoo and many others. It is NOT an email app where you read them in seven, but a tool to push it to your phones normal email program. (what you would be using now)
I have been using it for a long time and had no problem.

[Q] Can't create google Account

Hey,
I'm running Win8 Release Preview on my Netbook eeePC 1000H.
Everything is running smooth, but I can't add a google account. Not in mail, not in the calendar.
in Maill: It gives me an error when I try to login. Password is correct. I also tried @googlemail.com instead if @gmail. No difference.
In Calendar: If I select "Accounts" it opens, I see my Windows Live account for about a second, then the menu switches back.
Any ideas?

for mail, have you already logged in with your system account? (IE, windows live id?) if not, you have to do that first then you should be about to connect the gmail account.
for Calendar, im not sure. just went in and it doesn't show where to add an account for me.

gmail
-Open Charms Bar (Windows key + C)
-Select Settings ---> Change PC settings
-Open Ease of Accsess
-Turn off ----> Tab through webpages and app using care browsing
Now you can add gmail and much else that did not work.
Cheers

windows 8 means little trouble sometimes.........
