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.

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've had my X1a for a few months now and is synced with my work's Microsoft Outlook Exchange server. I can send and receive e-mails fine and everything seems to work except after I send an e-mail from my phone, the message doesn't go to the Sent Items folder.
However, in my MS Outlook program on my laptop which I use for syncing (with WMDC) and is also set up with my e-mails through the Exchange server, I can see my sent e-mails in the Sent Items folder even when I send e-mails from my X1a. So I know there is nothing wrong with the Exchange server and it is a problem with the phone.
On my X1a, when I go into my Outlook E-mail options, I have the "Keep copies of sent items in Sent folder" checkmarked but nothing shows up in the Sent Items folder after I send an e-mail.
Any one know a solution to this?
you need to set up your sync folder settings. by default wm will only sync your inbox and none of your other folders. iirc it should be under tools -> folders and check the sent items folder to be sync'd as well. i don't have the phone in front of me right now, so this is from memory. play around with the settings and you'll see it.
Yes that's the way...
Inbox > Menu (right soft key) Tools > Manage folders> Check sent items.
Then just sync again.
omg you guys made my day! thank you!!!!!
i can't believe it was something so simple..
mods, please close
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.
Is there a way to synch ONLY the 'sent items' folder via ActiveSync or do you have to also keep copies of the various messages from Outlook also on your phone?
Bump. Anyone?
connect phone to pc, on pc open windows mobile device center, click mobile device settings - change content sync settings - email sync settings - untick the folders you dont want and tick those you do (sent items in this case)
Sorry, I think I didn't express that well. I want to synchronize only the sent items from my phone to Outlook on the desktop so that I can preserve any replies I send from the road while having the original message downloaded to my desktop when I return home. The settings you describe will only synch MS Outlook items with the 'Outlook' folder on my PC, and the accounts I set up on my phone do not appear in the folder tree to be selected. So that configuration won't work for me.
It seems that no combination of what I want is possible with the current software, yet I can't believe I'm the only one with this need.
Let me explain.
I use Outlook on my desktop and only use the phone for reading and replying to messages on-the-fly. Knowing that I will have a copy of the POP message on my laptop (which serves as my home pc also) when I get back at night, I only want to file and keep a copy of any replies I make from the road. My hope was to have any sent items uploaded to my laptop, I can run rules on MS Outlook to autofile to their respective folder structures, and I'm done - both received POP messages and their corresponding replies are preserved.
I own a copy of FlexMail, but it won't synch with Outlook, so that's not a solution. And there doesn't seem to be anything else out there that'll do what I need.
Any thoughts?
Bump. Anyone?
Guys, just to reiterate the question...
How would you get (move/copy/backup) messages from the local email accounts you set up on your HD2, to your Outlook PST on the desktop?
I have created several folders in my Outlook 2007 pc in order to keep my e-mail organized. Appart from the default folders I have a "pending items" folder, a "client A" folder, "company B" folder, etc. These folders show up in my phone's outlook, but their contents don't. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.
In the Activesync window which pops up on your PC when there's a syncronisation taking place, click on 'email', then the 'select folders' button, and then select the folders and subfolders you want to syncronise. Then click 'okay' and go on to complete the options (eg download all, last week/month/day et), and click okay. It should save your settings, and then sync the device. Works for me, and I have all the mail appearing in the folders as selected.
It worked! Thank you so much!
Sounds great... Always wanted this solved...
However I have never/don't want to use Activesync software on my PC. Everthing I do is over the air (e.g. flash a ROM, set-up the email account settings, and go). I can't find a similar option on the HD2 app - any suggestions?
Thanks!

Goto the inbox of the e-mail account in the e-mail tab, providing your settings are for IMAP or Exchange then you can go to options and select which folders you want to sync. If however you are just using POP/SMTP then it only reads from the email provider's inbox.
