Move them into a different folder on the server, they will then be removed from your devices inbox

Emails from Exchange dont take up much noticeable space, unless u specified to download the entire message and not only the 1st 2KB/5KB and if u specified to sync ur entire inbox instead of just 1 week or 3 days behind.
Right now i have 370 items all between 1KB and 2KB, thats not more than 600KB total, that size is not even worth thinking about. The beauty of exchange sync is having exactly the same Inbox/Sent/Deleted items in both ur desktop and ur phone.
You can check ur stored message bodies in \Windows\Messaging and see the size. what u can do is check the Attachments if u download large ones u can delete them under \Windows\Messaging\Attachments.
If u still want to do it, there is only Bupahs' suggetion as there is no Delete Local functionality.

thanks for the info. when i go to windows messaging attachments there are a bunch there but i cant open them. should i just delete them?

Those are the actual email bodies, leave them alone im not sure whats the impact if u manually delete the files, besides they dont take up much space, check how many files u have and the average size.

I had the AT&T Tilt 1 (Kaiser) and had it set to sync with my work exchange server. I did find in the settings there, that you could put a check mark in the box for "Leave a copy on the server." (or similar verbage).
HOWEVER on the AT&T Tilt 2 (Rhodium) that option is no where to be found.
It makes me wonder why they would remove that option from both the device & the Sync Settings.

Deleting Google Mail email from Trash

Hi,
How can I delete an Google Mail email from the "Trash" label? I can put them in "Trash" using a long press however there is no option to delete when doing a long press on the mail once in "Trash".
The only way I can delete this is to log onto googlemail web interface and delete the mail from the "Bin" (I'm a UK user).
Cheers.
Anybody???

From the webpage go to your settings and then to "LAB"... try using this "Advanced IMAP Controls".
--M
Thanks for the reply but no joy
Still, on the G1 I can long press in most labels and press delete which sends to Trash however long pressing on an item in the trash does not give any option to delete.
This behaviour is the same with and without that LAB package enabled.
Is there any other solution?
Cheers.
Anybody know if this is possible? It's a real pain having to delete emails from the Trash via the web interface, which is what I'm doing at the moment.
I'm considering that it might be as my GoogleMail account is a UK one and hence the folder is named "Bin" on the web interface. Is this confusion of names what is causing the G1 to not give me the option to delete emails from "Trash"? (Doubt this though, as it *does* put items into "Trash" when I delete on the phone and these can be seen in the "Bin" folder on the web interface).
Has anybody successfully deleted a GoogleMail email from the Trash/Bin using GMail app? If so, how?
Thanks.
Doesn't give me the option to delete things in the trash either.
I guess the only way to do it is from the web interface.
I'm pretty sure it cannot be done through the phone UI.
What is your goal?
I've been using gmail for a number of years now and I've never had a need to manually delete anything from the trash...

Minor OCD I think - When I delete something I want it *gone*... Not a biggie I guess.

Sent emails not showing in 'Sent' box?

Hi guys,
I've had my HD2 for almost 2 weeks now and am loving it! It's my first Windows Mobile device and I'm learning new things every day.
Everything is set up and working well *touch wood* but I have 1 slight problem. I've been sending/receiving emails via my btinternet account on the handset without a problem so far, but once I've sent out an email, there's no record of it on the handset. It doesn't show up in the sent box and, having had a look through the settings, I can't seem to find anything related to rectifying this type of problem. Am I doing something wrong and/or can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
Yup i have the same issue, another bug, sure it will be fixed soon though.
Also you notice how it does not sync any of the other folder either, atl east on hotmail it does not.

Yep I'm having the same problem with my Gmail. The inbox syncs but no other folders sync even though I have selected them in 'Manage Folders'.
Yeah, I've noticed that. It's the same with Yahoo. I don't really mind that so much though to be honest. I just want the confirmation that my emails have been sent, it's very strange?!.
how have you managed to get your hotmail accounts setup on the HD2. i cant seem to connect to the server to sync my email? ive disabled the 'proxy' in the connections settings but still cannot set it up?
Could you pls give a step-by-step setup procedure?
its really appreciated, thanks

I'm also having problems getting my emails to come through. My btinternet email ones seem sporadic and I have to click on send/receive to get them to come through. My hotmail worked a couple of days ago but now nothing....and I know I've new emails. I keep getting the page appearing asking for my password and username poping up. Can't get it to sync at all. Whats the proxy setting you mention? Wheres that?
from inbox; menu/tools/manage folders, then tick the boxes to any of the fiolders you want synched and finaly refresh your mailbox.
By default, only the inbox is always synched.

The easiest way to synch your hotmail account is by using the windows live software on your Leo. Just enter your username and password and it will do the rest.

hi , thanks.
i honestly 'prefer not to' install all the live stuff... as i believe ppl here have been able to sync without installing this? would you know if this is possible (it would be better)?
thanks

You don't have to install anything, it's already there on your start menu. It simply automates your mailbox syncing.

Having the same problem, there's no tick box!
It is strange if you cant see the boxes at least for some folders. I have to choice for Inbox, Sent Items and Junk mail.
Anyway you can try to keep the finger on the folder to get context menu where are other Folder options. And there is something I would like to ask some advanced user - why I can switch there from "Download email headers" to "Download complete message" but nothing happens and from Hotmail account the phone keeps downloading just email headers. Btw. when using POP3 for my other email account I am able to set this option to Download complete message and YES, there it is running like a charm. But with Hotmail I am not able to succeed.
Anyone knows the clue?

got it working
ok maybe its a little late but i figured it out... ---> click on email--> click on menu--> new acc--> pick hotmail/live--> put login info--> if it goes to opera like it did to me or does appear below gmail or so forth on the email tab don't worry im gonna tell you what to do next--> find the windows live icon click it.. once ur logged in you will see Windows live Home follows by Messenger followed by sync--> click on sync--> a new option appears and it should be hotmail option to view your emails..--> now get out and go to your email tab..--> at this point your hotmail is sync to ur device and should be good to go..

thanks so much clown shoes this is so simple but so easy to overlook i spent hours before i found this now have my saved mails
thanks!
I second the above poster! The fix for this was so easy, but so incredibly counterintuitive that I don't think that I'd have ever gotten this on my own.
I am trying to get the incoming mail server settings for the mobile.msn.com so i can add a second account. Does anybody know these settings?

X10 E-MAIL

Does anybody know how to delete the whole inbox instead of one by one? And the recycle bin?
thanks

Are you talking about Gmail?
No, i'm talking about my hotmail account that i have on my X10. I cannot find a way to delete all the messages at one time, just separately, one by one, and that is annoying. The same with the recycle bin, i can't empty it, only erase one message at a time.
Sorry, I don't use hotmail. But I can say that using Gmail app and Gmail mobile web you cannot "select all".
you have to delete them one by one then go to the trash folder and delete them again : this the most stupid application in X10
there is another way but it's also dumb go to Settings--Applications--Manage applications--Email then press Clear data, it will delete all your emails but your data will be removed also, so you have to enter your Email and your Password again
Hope SE will fix this in the next update

Stock Email mass delete items, how to?

So I'm spoiled by Outlook and the email on my Thunderbolt.
I am using the stock mail client on my TF, and I can manually check each and every email in deleted items...the click on delete.
Is there a way to "empty" deleted items without checking each and every one off?

When you move the email to another folder, it does not create a copy of that email - it MOVES it, therefore there is still only one copy.
If you then delete this copy, it will be gone to the trash.
Answer: Do not delete an email if its the only copy!
ok cool that will work txs

I think I understand a bit more what's going on...
GMAIL doesn't have "folders" like we're used to in Outlook and Hotmail, instead it has "stars" and "tags".
When you "move to a folder" you actually just assign it a tag, the email stays in your main folder. You can't really make copies to other folders.
Think its wired to have list on left to do nothing with then .....wth. wish they could save emails ....
