This may be a stupid question but I've Googled and looked for a while but I can't find a definite answer or solution. I've had Windows Mobile phones for five years & loved how my Outlook emails (from my standalone Outlook program on my personal pc) then all synced and came into the "Outlook" inbox on those phones. Can you do that with Android? I have my own domain and all my emails that I need are in my Outlook program on my pc, I wouldwork with phone plugged in, emails would come through, I'd answer the important ones, leave the others and reply to them when I was free and hit "send" and when I plugged my phone back it, the emails would send via Outlook. Is this possible on the Desire Z, or any Android device, thanks!

You can set up POP3 mail accounts on your phone, so you can download e-mail on the go. You can also sync the mail on your computer's Outlook onto your phone. But can you do both?
Is it possible to read the mail from your POP3 on your computer, via Outlook, sync it to your phone, then when you're away from your computer, download and read your new mail on your phone, then when you get back to your computer, have that e-mail that you downloaded sync'ed back to Outlook on your computer?
Very interesting question. As far as I'm aware it can only go one way. You can sync (download) to your phone, but I don't believe it's possible to sync in reverse (have mail sync from your phone to your pc). But just out of curiosity, why would you want to? As long as your "Leave copy on server" option is checked in outlook, your mail will always be on your email account's server until you delete it, so that should negate you having to sync mail back to your pc. Unless when you are downloading mail directly to your phone while you are away from home there is no copy left on the email server, which is definitely a possibility. If that is happening, I would contact the cellular service provider to see if there is a way to view basically a copy on your phone while leaving a copy intact on your email server.
Hope this helps.
Been thinking about the same question recently. And i can see the reason for wanting to reverse sync.
Say i have e-mail sync'd between pc & wizard. I go out and check my mail and download 5 new messages (leaving on the server). Now i go home and my pc gets the new 5 messages. when i sync will i end up with a double copy of my e-mail on my Wizard?
i cant currently test as my PC is in pieces so i've been using my wizard for e-mail, but its not under "outlook mail" but a new account conencting directly to the pop server, can i have 1 account that will sync to outlook or pop?
Sry i dont answer anything!
you can sync outlook and a pop3 account if seperate
for instance, i sync my inbox with my outlook which works fine
i also have a new "account" in my messages area which downloads my pop mail via gprs or wifi (whichever is in access).
when you download mail from pop, it still stays on server which is good... then when you get home, you can download these on the machine
as far as i know, you cannot sync the mails back to outlook because of the way it treats the mails but i might be wrong as ive not tried it... if i remember, i will trty when i get home.
also there is limits and attachment restrictions etc so not sure how they would work.
What the poster means (At least what I like to know), is if it's possible to sync Outlook mail. Then, on the go, you want to check if there's mail. Here you have to create an account. Is it possible to have the Outlook-account of the pda have the mail checked? So only the new messages, which haven't been outlook-synced are downloaded...
Because, now, on the go, when I do a Dial-in or on a Wifi hotspot, my 'Outlook' can't download new mail. And another account (the dial-in one) starts downloading messages of 3 days (I know you can set this, but that's only half a solution...)
No way around this?
Nope.
The only two-way sync to the desktop is Outlook Exchange mail.
Hi I've been tracking this topic on many sites, and have seen no answer.
If you only have POP3 (imap and exchance are ok), you are screwed.
I have on the PPC the oulook boxes, and a seperate account (setup like the account on my PC-outlook), that works fine on Pop3 via wifi or gprs.
What any pop3 user likes to do, is sync your PPC, get out and reply, send and receive mails. This is how it works:
- read your mails, do a reply! (which is not possible, as the oulook on you PPC cant send receive)
- so you like to copy that mail to the seperate account (Which is not possible too, you cant move mails between boxes)
- so you copy the content to a new mail in the seperate account, (and add all the cc's that where in the list, ohw!) and do there a send/receive, done...
- really?... how to get your send-mail back to your outlook send items box???, so you set yourselves in bcc for all send mails (or get a program for that)
Its a pain and a waste of time (anyone who knows a better solution, tell me and dont tell me the Imap or exchance story)
I think the solution can be 2-ways:
- or a patch that makes the send/receive available for the outlook account on your PPC
- or a mailbox-copy / move function, that eases the copying between the accounts.
Anyone has these solutions?
Hi there, I've searched quite a lot but there isn't much I could find regarding syncing with Outlook via activesync..
Like a lot of people I have a gmail account and download that via pop mail on my pc via outlook. I've also set up the same gmail account on my hermes. Now, how is outlook syncing meant to work exactly?
I can see that when synced, all my emails that arrive and are sent on my pc get copied to the "outlook" folder on my phone. Fine, I can view all my pcs messages on my phone.
However if I send any emails via gmail, these do not get copied to my PC's sent folder, and I can't see a way to get this to work. I cannot copy any messages from the gmail sent folder on the phone to the outlook sent folder on the phone. So I can't keep a tab or archive any messages I sent on my phone, on my PC.
If I use the 'outlook' account on my phone to send an email, it just waits on the outbox until I resync and then sends through my outbox email, right? Isn't that pretty pointless? I'm wanting the emails to be sent when I'm not ON my pc! So I can either send emails (but they won't sync) or get synced emails, but only if it sends when connected to my pc (pretty useless).
Does anybody have a way where I can send emails from my phone, using my gmail account so that it sends straight away, and the sent messages will be copied to my outlook sent messages upon syncing?
I realise that I could use an imap server to fix this but I don't really have access to one. I know google can keep a record of all sent mail, but there will still be holes in my outlooks sent items - I am looking for a solution that works with all pop mail accounts.
Thanks a lot!
FWIW, I usually get rid of my Outlook eMail account (it's so redundant ... I already received that mail in my OptOnline POP box) by first ensuring that the Messaging app is pointing to Text Messages, and then browsing to
HKLM->Software->Microsoft->Inbox->Svc
in a Registry Editor and deleting the entire key underneath that for "ActiveSync".
Then ... whenever I send mail (that I wish to keep a copy of) from my 8525, I BCC myself on it. Maybe there's a better method, but this procedure works OK for me.
Just remember (if you're gonna delete the Outlook Account through the registry edit) to make sure that Messaging is currently parked on a different account than the one you're deleting before making the reg change!
Hope this helps,

I'm just asking for everyone's opinions please.
At the moment I'm using a GMail account, where I forward all of my mail to mail2web and that in turn gets sent to my Hermes and on my PC I'm using Microsoft Outlook, so if I receive an e-mail it get's read three times. Now I like my GMail interface and I was wondering if there was anyway at all that I could simplify this so that if I open the mail once, it's shown as being read over them all?
I don't mind having to drop GMail if need be, but my main annoyance is reading an e-mail on my Hermes and then having to click it as read in Outlook on my PC.
Use Gmail if you want.
Download your Gmail to your PC with Outlook and use EMOZE to push your Outlook mail into your Hermes.
This way if you write and Email with your Hermes and send it gets in your Outlook Sent Items folder and if you erase an Email using your Hermes it gets erased in your Outlook.
Unfortunately I don't keep my PC on 24/7 when I'm away from it. I've just found an Applet by Google (found at http://googlemail.com/app from your PDA), the only problem is that it doesn't refresh itself and it doesn't notify on new mail. If anyone knows how I can arrange it so it does then I'd love your assistance.
Hi all,
A quick question.
I just started syncing mail with my wm6 device.
Problem is i have rules forwarding mail to my pst. These mail messages do not get forwarded to my device, so i miss out on them until i come back to my pc with outlook.
I tried to move all the folders under inbox and it will sync mail but you dont get any notifications.
Is there an app that i dont know about? Has anyone doing anything differently or can you suggest something.
thanks in advance.
if all your mail arrives to both your desktop and your ppc you can mark an option to keep the mail on the server and delete them from the server only when they reach your PPC.. unless i missed your point..
I'm not sure if I understood correctly, but right at the moment I'm battling the issue of POutlook not being able to sync 'big' Outlook folders other than Inbox (so, no Sent Items, no custom folders, no Junk Mail ).
This is an inherent limitation (and a liability) of ActiveSync. You may have heard a few choice words on its subject... and believe me, they are all true. AS is just the barest bones, nothing but.
If you DO look for syncing Outlook folders other than just the Inbox, you'll have to shell out quite a few bucks. A moment ago I've finished testing Chapura's Pocket Mirror Professional, a piece of soft that acts a bit like an add-on (or possibly a gateway) to AS. Looks promising, works as advertised, and costs 50 USD. Sigh.
If you want to take a gander, HERE it is.
Best of luck.
To add a bit more info .. basically .. in outlook i have a personal folder (PST) and under that ill have employee1 .. employee2 etc ... so when i recieve a message from them the outlook rule moves it into the correct dub folder.
Now if a rule moves the message to the correct sub folder it doesnt send it as well to my HTC.
anything that doesnt have a rule .. ie just stays in my inbox .. will get forwarded on to my HTC.
So im looking for a way for it all to come to my HTC WM6 inbox.

I use an Exchange 2003 server at work and outlook 2007 on my laptop and WM6 on my PDA and they all sync just fine. If you use Exchange, here is what I did:
All rules created on my laptop (Outlook 2007) are server side. You have the option of making rules either client side or server if you did not know.
I use Emoze ( www.emoze.com ) to sync everything up since for some reason I can not get activesync to work properly (certificate problem).
Check it out, it is free and it works very well.
I have 18 sub-folders that sync perfectly!
-asb
you can get them to sync but no notification
to get the emails to the phone just go to outlook on the phone and go to tools then manage folders and there you can check which folder you would like to sync to the phone
but the phone will not notify you when you get a new msg in anything other then the indox folder
still cant figure that one out
Hi. Im new to WinMo completely, and there is one thing i dont get. I cant sync e-mails as it says it does. For example, in my phone there is this Outclook E-Mail account which has nothing and cant be configured ot nothing. Why is it there!? i can configure other account individually like, from Gmail. But then what is this email sync that doesnt sync my emails, its nonsense! (Im pretty sure im the nonsense one here, but thats what i want you to plaz explain to me)
Ive read guides and searched on internet but nothing. I really thought that Outclook email would be reserved for the config account on my PC Outclook, but nothig happens!
Need heeelp!! Im really stressing out. Forgive my ignorance hehe
outlook mail == the mails the pda sync with outlook on your pc
activesync settings deside how old mails it sync to save space
it can't be removed
it can only be filled with mails from your outlook mail
You can use this for syncing mails with a Microsoft Exchange Server too. I use it for getting my emails directly ("Microsoft Direct Push") everywhere. If your Company (or your Administrator) doesn't provide this for you, there are some hosting provider which are providing these accounts for everyone.
In addition it syncs contacts and calendars too. With these abilities and the special features like Remote Desktop Client, Putty and VPN the Xperia ist my real mobile office .
But one thing is weird: too many people have my tel-number, so often the X1 gives strange sounds out and i have to break my relaxation...ähhmmm ...work
