When I try to send a document by email I find that the message is sent to the sms outbox and NOT the email outbox. I have tried to move the message but this does not appear to be allowed. I have tried to find a setting that controls how messages are dealt with but have had no success.
I should be grateful if someone could help me overcome this problem.
Please note that I do not send emails via an account set up on my xda 11. I send emails via outlook when I synchronize.
Thanks

Have you gone to inbox and clicked "services" if you have set up your email it should appear there, if it appear then click so a dot appears next to it, if not then you need click "new service" and set up an email account with your pop3 etc.
Thanks for your advice, which would be fine if I sent emails from my PDA via a pop3 account, but I don't.
I send emails via Outlook which I connect to when I ActiveSync - and before anyone asks this is because I use my PDA for work and I am not allowed to log on to our exchange server other than through our network.
Consequently I do not have a pop3 account to connect to.
Does anyone have an idea how I can force the xda to send documents via the ActiveSync outbox rather than sms?
i could use some help for using gmail/hotmail with pocket outlook.
i tried using the pHotmail program but it doesnt work.. i guess i need an 2gb account which costs $20 per year for using (pocket) outlook and hotmail together??
for Gmail i use the following settings:
Incoming Mail: pop.gmail.com:995
Outgoing Mail: smtp.gmail.com:465
Domain: www.gmail.com
under Options checked "Require SSL Connection" "Outgoing mail requires authentication" "Use separate settings"
Clicked Outgoing Settings
Entered my username, password, checked "Require SSL for outgoing mail"
Domain: www.gmail.com
now i have 2 problems with the Gmail:
1) after i have read an email it disappears from the pocket outlook inbox (its still in the gmail-inbox since thats what i selected at gmail-forwarding and pop settings)
2) i cant seem to send any messages.. they stay in my outbox instead of being send.. also pOutlook gives the message that it cant download any messages when i try to send an email
i tried some different outgoing-mail settings like note using ssl, but it doesnt make a difference
seems im missing something :roll:
edit: typo
problem 1 has resolved itself
but i still cant send emails using pocket outlook with Gmail...
also with "pocket email checker" aka "httpmail checker" i cant even open the inbox. it keeps saying "error"
anyone else had this problem?? could a different rom solve the problem? im now using the standard dutch t-mobile rom.
the problem was that i filled in the domain name (www.gmail.com)
when i left it empty it worked and i am now able to send and receive emails using Gmail.
however i would still like someone to tell me how to use pocketHotmail :!:
pOutlook does find the folders which i use in hotmail (example: i have a folder named school and poutlook now has that folder without me making it) but when i pres send/receive it doesnt say connecting but instead waits about 3 seconds and then says finished...
i tried settings:
incoming: hotmail/pop.hotmail.com
ssl: not required and required
filling in the domain and leaving it empty
sorry if my questions seem dumb, ive got my universal for 7 days now and ive read alot here and in other topics but not everything...
Question on problem 1?
any idea how problem 1 resolved itself? i have the same problem. i've read the other posts and made the suggested changes, but no difference - the email disappears the next time i sync whether or not i've read it.
thx
this is because you probably have it set to: get full copy of messages
this way gmail sees you alreaddy downloaded the message and doesnt send it again to poutlook.
poutlook sees gmail doesnt send the email header anymore and deletes it.
smart thinking of both programs, but doesnt combine well :wink:
try using: get message headers only. and download 999kb of the message (entire message) body
this will probably get rid of the problem you have.
ha, works like a charm! thank you
I would like to read my gmail email in MS Outlook on my computer, and while I am away from it, read the new only emails (the ones not yet downloaded to desktop) from my T-mobile MDA.
The way I understand it is done is to POP emails to desktop (which deletes them from the email server) and use IMAP on the mobile device to read whatever is not POPped yet. The problem is that Google’s Gmail does not support IMAP protocol. So how do I do this then, other than to change to an email provider who supports both POP and IMAP?
In gmail's POP service you can choose to either delete or archive email d/l by your device. You could read ur email from your pda then the email you just read would be archived into another folder.
I think what you need to do is change the settings in MS Outlook on your desktop to leave a copy of the email on the server for x number of days. On your PDA change the imap server settings to only download the last x number of messages or messages that were received in the last x number of days. I don't use a POP server anymore but you should be able to use the "tools" then "email accounts" then "view or change exisiting email accounts" and look for something along the lines of leave copy/copies of email on the server so that way Outlook doesn't delete them from the server.... In terms of the POP settings on the PDA make sure that it is never deleting emails off the server otherwise you are going to be faced with "dissapearing" email messages.
Hopefully this helps or someone else can be more helpful.
go to your gmail account, in the settings you can set it to be accessable through POP, do that. Dont forget to set it to leave a copy on the server
On your PDA you need to configure Outlook to accept the gmail accout.
go Start > Programs > Messaging
at bottom of screen choose Accounts
click New
enter email address click next
enter Your Name, User name, Password ( I leave the save password box ticked as I am idle ) click next
choose account type POP3
choose Name POP3 (unless you have option to choose another name you like better) click next
in server information
set Incoming as pop.gmail.com
set Outgoing as smtp.gmail.com
click the options button, page 2 of 3 check Outgoing requires server auth , check box Require SSL
click next
box now shows all Accounts as New, Text Message, POP3
click the OK top right of screen
thats it, done.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
...and hence not downloaded to the desktop if I understand correctly.

Gmail does not support IMAP unfortunately. Also, I do not want to go by the number of days or number of messages because those things are not known in advance. I only want to pop email to my computer, and read whatever is not popped to the computer from the mobile device.
tbc_borg, the instructions are helpful if I only wanted to read email from the road. But after email is downloaded to the device, Gmail does not pop it to the desktop, which is not good for me.
I think I found how to do this.
I got another gmail address, set up forwarding of everything from the main email to the second one (with the original left in the main Inbox). I pop everything from the main email to the desktop and from the second email address to the Wizard. I will be receiving duplicate emails to both desktop and the mobile device, but that is better than having only half of emails on the desktop. Any better ideas? I searched extensively, found nothing smarter (well, again, other than finding an email provider that supports both pop and imap protocols).
I had the same problem. What I did was open a second relay a/c, eg [email protected]. I then added a forward on all mails from my normal gmail account to the relay account. On my phone I have my incoming mail server set to the relay account but my outgoing server set to my normal account. This means that all your mails will be forwarded to the relay account and when you want to reply to any of them on the phone it will send them from your normal account!
Bit of a roundabout way of doing things but works fine!
WOW, good hint with the different outgoing server, decmac! It works just as expected!
But I noticed something else that is wrong. I send a test email to my main email address, it gets forwarded to the relay email address. Send/receive from computer, receive the email fine. Send/receive from Wizard, receive it fine as well. So far so good. However, when I send/receive from the Wizard again, the email message that has just been downloaded gets DELETED and is nowhere to be found on the device (not even in "Deleted Items" folder.) I wonder what I have missed in the settings somewhere.
Yeah, that's a problem. It seems to only keep a current copy of your Gmail inbox on the phone so when you do send/receive it overwrites everything. What I have done to get around this is select "Get Message headers only" and select "Include x Kb of message body" Make x big enough to get all of your messages. It then keeps my messages in my inbox until I either delete it or select "Get entire message and any attachments" in the email message.
Not sure if this would work but maybe move messages into a local folder on the phone. Haven't tried this but in theory it should work! The above works perfect for me!
Perfect! It works!
Vielen Dank!

Hi all,
There is probably something stupid I'm doing but I can't send email from my TyTN.
I have a sky email account with my broadband. The outlook settings are pop.sky.com, smtp.sky.com, server requires authentication has to be ticked.
I can receive email on the pda but when i try to send it says: messages cannot be downloaded to your mobile device.
Yet I get new messages downloaded ok.
Please, any ideas?
My email works fine over wifi using pocket outlook. I don't have the ATT data plan just use my wifi.
I have my have tried setting my gmail account as pop and imap. Then email always works fine unless I try to send an email with an attachment I get this message.
The message(s) could not be sent. Check that you have network coverage and that your account information is correct. Then try sending again.
Anyone know about this and or fix?
I'm running wm6
