I wanted to know how it is possible that my folders from my exchange server are automatically synchronized and also a Notification is heard at arrive a message in each folder.
I do it with Windows Mobile so far has not been possible. but I have had this in JDMS1.3 Build function and would use it in other builds.

How can I get my PPC to subscribe ONLY to the Inbox, Sent, and Trash folders? It seems to want to check ALL folders on the IMAP server which takes a LONG time over GPRS and makes it a pianful experience! I can't mess with the IMAP server, so any solution would have to exclude changing settings on the IMAP server. Is there a 3rd party app. that fixes this?
Try INBOX/accounts choose imap account then TOOLS/Manage Folders and put a check in the box of each folder you would like to have checked.
Even if only those folders are marked for synch Pocket Inbox still waste time by re-loading the folder hierarchy at each connection. This is what we need to find a way to disable if possible. There was a specific option to disable this behaviour on the HP Jornada 720 (HPC) email client. Not sure why MS dropped that option on the PPC. Pretty sure someone could come up with a registry hack to fix this.
Exact same problem
Hello everyone,
I have the exact same problem. I have lots of IMAP folders (374) and my IMAP client always gets the whole folderlist. Has someone a workaround for that problem or is there a smarter imap client out there that just checks the subscribed folders or the folder I do specify?

My work, unfortunately, uses Groupwise and I'm gonna get no support in getting a Groupwise mobile server or anything setup, so I'm stuck with syncing local for contacts and appts and tasks. I am, however, using and IMAP access to get my emails, and this works pretty well with the default Pocket Outlook email client.
One thing missing is that I have a couple of subfolders where I have rules that automatically direct emails from like my Boss or other people into the folder so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle of other stuff. However, I'm not getting notification when new emails are pulled into those folders. If I go into my email program I can see that I have new emails there, but I get the buzz or message icon that I have new emails. Is there anyway to make it so when new messages get pulled into the subfolders that I also get notified?
Ideally I'd REALLY like to stick with the default email program as I'm also using Mobile Shell and mobile shell apparently only integrates with the default email app.

I would like the same.
I have never found a fix to this issue and IIRC it is a limitation of the software.
I am using gmail so I just set up forward rules and dummy accounts. So I had account X with sub directory Y I have the email intended to Y get forwarded to account A and set A as a separate account. I dont know if this would work with mobile shell ( if it only looks at the outlook account)

It is indeed an Outlook issue. It only sends alerts on mails in the inbox. On my exchange server, the emails are redirected on the server before Outlook ever sees that they touch the inbox and thus no alert.
The only solution is some sort of third-party app, that would be nice.
If you're using Groupwise as your mail server, what is the email client you run on your workplace computer? And your workplace computer OS?
If your accessing Groupwise mail through Outlook on your work computer, your rules can be setup as client side instead of server side rules. If Groupwise behaves like a MS Exchange then your client side rules would only process when you're logged into your Outlook client. So when you're not in front of your PC, you wouldn't move your mail from your Inbox. Thus making them invisible to Pocket Outlook.
Or you could setup some special notification or delayed move rules. Again assuming you're using Outlook. Ornic InboxRules can be used to create some complex rules if you go that route. I haven't personally used it, but I used the predecessor to it called CaTrap to parse the sender, subject, and parts of the body into a another email and forward that via SMS to my phone.
If you can manage to get stuff to your Pocket Outlook Inbox, there are a few good tools that will give you advanced notification options on your phone. See this thread for details. Hope this helps to get you started.
You can see on http://www.magica.ro/pda_pocket_checkmail.php an application which solves your problem; it works together with ActiveSync and Outlook Mobile in order to alert users about unread mails in Inbox and Subfolders.
You can test it by downloading the demo version.
We published version 2.0 of CheckMail application.
New features are:
- displays messages on "Today Screen";
- audio alert when new messages are received;
- audio reminder if the new messages where not read (the interval when these verifications are made is selectable by user);
- by taping on CheckMail application, user can open Messaging application (Outlook);
- user can select in CheckMail application not to check Inbox (only subfolders).
Visit http://www.software.magicashop.ro/pda_pocket_checkmail.asp to see details and demo application.
Is there anything out there that would give pocket outlook e-mail filter capability like the desktop version to move email to a certain folder based on the senders address? I found a program called Pocket Outlook Mail Organizer and it gives outlook the ability to setup message rules but I would like to see if there are any alternatives specifically free ones.
If your using a MS Exchange account for your email, rules like that are handled by the server. Just set them up in outlook or OWA, then the message is filtered to the folder as soon as it hits the server... You don't need to do anything on your phone...
You do have to setup each of the subfolders to sync via the manage folders menu on your phone and WM won't alert when a new message arrives in these folders.

Sounds good...if you do not have exchange are their any options?
Im surprised that no one has reply with a answer that does not require exchange, how are u guys filtering the e-mail you receive?
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?
