Google sync: an issue with appointments!!!! - HD2 General

I own an hd2 and I use it for push email, contact and appointments with gmail. It works flawlessly apart from the fact that IF I delete an appointment in Google calendar on my pc, my pda asks to resync ALL appointments. It seems to be a bug cause if I delete appointments from the pda, everything goes well without warning or error messages.
Thanks for your contribute.

HOW do You sync ?
Do You use ActiveSync with the settings proposed by Google ?

In what sense? I sync and it works. It's just one way it generates this error.

Either You sync it with ActiveSync when connected to the PC or by HSDPA-connection "over the air".
Anyway You have to check the sync-rules .................

I sync over the air via hsdpa (ota). I checked and re-checked the rules. Maybe you're right and my settings are not perfect, please can you post yours?
My settings about appointments simply allow to sync up to last two weeks. There are no other options.
More, it happens only when I delet events on the gcalendar page but NOT WHEN on that same page I creat an event instead of creating it on the pda. That's a mistery, a real one for me!!!
Thanks

Go to start-menu, then "tools", then Active-sync
In Active sync choose "menu" then "options" , then click on/mark "calendar" and "settings" and choose "all"
This should sync all dates of Your Google calendar in the past and future.
Then go to "menu" again, choose "(time) schedule" (mine is in German, don´t know how it is called in English) and choose:
main time: e.g. four hours
and the "side time" (???) beneath: manual
tick "when clicked on "sending" send and receive"
Hope this works for You, it did form me

First of all thanks a lot for your kindness. I had exactly all your settings apart from one: sync last two weeks and all future appointmens but, sincerely, I don't think this simple changing will fix the issue I've noticed. In fact, the problem appears in just one occasion and, more in detail as I said, just when I delete events online from my pc. It's strange and I'm going to test it again now, then I'll report here.
In the meanwhile, thanks again for your time and kindness.
Edit: I just tried and WITH YOUR SETTINGS IT WORKED. DEAR FRIEND, I'M GONNA PAY YOU A BEER!

You´re welcome, m8 ! Glad it helped. had some probs with google calendar too in the beginning and know how it sucks ...............

I know I know, but it's a very good service cause it allows to sync everything and once you get used to the idea...you can't live without it!
I LOVE push mail!
Thanks again!!!!

ActiveSync deletes messages more than 3 days old on XDA2s.

Sirs, (and Madams),
My Blue Angel syncs alright with my PC.
But PocketOutlook deletes any email/messages that are three days old or more. As you may know already, this is greatly inconveniencing.
Anyone with any idea how I can sort this problem out?
Thanks in advance.
Celzo
That's probably because you have not changed the standard settings.
Go to ActiveSync, click on Menu in the right corner, Choose options, click on e-mail and choose "Settings", there you can choose how many days e-mail you want to have with you from "1 day" to "ALL"!
Daro n all,
I forgot to bring it to your attention that my BlueAngel is running on WM5, and I can not find the option to choose the number of days, etc, in the ActiveSync in WM5.
Is it just me? Or someone else has had a problem like that?
Thanks,
Celzo
You need to go into your activesync (on the ppc), click on menu, then add new server, enter whichever name you want, click next, then click advanced, click next. Now you should be able to change the setting here. Select e-mail, and set it to the timeframe you want
Good luck

Can't Delete Outlook Account! Help!

I've googled like crazy and searched these forums and cannot find a solution!
I added an email account to my Outlook that I now wish to delete or even just edit settings. For some reason, it doesn't show up under Menu>Tools>Options.
Its just not there!! It does show up in the account picker...but when I click on Menu>Delete NOTHING happens.
Its just...there!
I've seen a thread or 2 where people complain about this, but have yet to find a solution!
I have a theory that the Palm Messaging App that I'm using for SMS has messed something up within outlook. Thats just a guess though. I'm not sure.
I'm also using Sprint Mobile Email app. It has also added an outlook account that doesn't show up and is unable to be deleted or edited (however I wish to keep this one).
I'm comfortable going in and deleting registry settings or files to remove the extra account, I just can't figure out where to do so! This is driving me crazy. Help
and thanks in advance. This site is the best!
if you created the account using ActiveSync, open ActiveSync and select Menu->Options and then clear the checkmark for "E-mail". this should remove the email (account) from your phone. you know if all else fails, you can perform a hard-reset which will clear all email accounts, programs, contacts, etc., that you added to the phone. Settings->System Tab->Clear Storage is the same as a hard reset. Be sure to backup your contacts, pictures, ringtones, etc, to your laptop before doing the hard-reset.
Yeah I appreciate those tips. I was hoping to not have to do a hard reset but its starting to look that way. Now some of my Sprint Client fetched emails are getting into the phantom box for no reason what-so-ever.
I do have an exchange connection going for work, but that has nothing to do with the confused mailboxes. At least I don't think so. Hell, who knows. The phone seems to have slowed down since I installed exchange. Is that normal?
Looks like a hard reset may be in for tonight's excitement.
open outlook > menu > tools > options
highlite and hold the account you want to delete and select delete when the little popup opens.
it's not going to show up you just have to tap+hold the account for the delete to popup.. does it popup or you're saying it's not? sorta confused.
edit ok i re-read your post.. guess it's there just isn't deleting for you.. well the other option is to go in the registry and delete the email account key. but it shouldn't be a big deal because who deletes their email accounts regularly?
on my sprint touch outlook has an asterick next to it and the delete option comes up but you can't select it. I dont have email selected in activesnyc but I do have calendar, contacts, tasks and notes selected. Perhaps that's the reason outlook can't be deleted from the email accounts list?

You've probably sorted yourself out by now but if you haven't here's what you need to do.
Go to ActiveSync -> menu -> options, select Microsoft Exchange and then press delete. This will remove the ActiveSync relationship. Then just create a new one.

I have been trying to find answers for "messed up outgoing display name" when setting up email accounts & the (silent mail) or "stealth" outlook.
Bad entry in "exchange mail (outlook) windows mobile 6.5 and still can't find any visible means of deleting, changing or updating the "silent" outlook email settingsl 3 days non stop research and web searching...now, I find this site. Thank you!
I received my phone 4 days ago (and only received the HAND SET), after fighting carrier for 7 months regarding the non functioning phone with multiple defects that stared one week after full price purchase. No instructions, no charger, no connector cords for PC to HH Device, NOTHING! not to mention the sim card also missing.
Many individuals; tech support, advanced tech support, supervisors with carrier; support forums, product manufacturer, endless web searches, etc., etc., I was amazed and very frustrated with being treated like a complete idiot-(i will just leave it at the idiot part) and no solutions either until now. When researching the document "Deploying windows Mobile 6.5 phones with Microsoft exchange server 2010.,
It was so nice to see exactly what I was relating to and in my language (lol) YES here on this site - finally!
You all are so friendly & helpful! Like I mentioned I have only had my HTC Touch Pro2 for 4 days now, and being unable to locate the account management settings, I am very lost. I have no instructions either - have been going off web sites. I don't even know where to start to find solution here with your instructions, so if anyone can give a little more direction - it would be great
i need to know where to go to change server credentials MS Mobile 6 - (HOW do I get there? is ACTIVESYNC on phone or on my computer under the windows mobile device section, do I have my computer cord phone and pc hooked up together....
sorry, I was in schook when we hand wrote everything and a plunker typewriter was what we used for a manditory "typeing" class.... A little in the Flinstone Age - but really adapting - this phone was my stepping out, and I was and still am very excited to play with this new toy -
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You've probably sorted yourself out by now but if you haven't here's what you need to do.
I have only used a form of active sync on my Palm Pilot for nursing, b) but, that was hooked up and set up entirely tech department and they just told me what to do (enter contacts, updates like that into computer, then hook up the cords, and press the sync button" = that's it
Now, taking a deep breath because a solution is within reach I am ging to attempt the task but i do need step[step directions involving active sync and it has to be from the get go please....anyone.....
Hopefully others that get in this same slump will stumble upon this site, and help avoid such frustrations.
Thank you all for your knowledge base, and contributions, I am confident that the name floating in computer space hidden in the "Stealth" Outlook is beginning to appear.
Now onto the active sync, so I can get back to my state board review that took back burner for 3 days (oops)-
Thanks, worked for me too.

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)?

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!
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?

Bought a new HD2 Some doubts

Hey,
I finally bought a new HD2
I've some problems,
1. I can't get Contact order to set as First Name First and Last Name last. Its just Last Name first now. How do I change that?
2. Also has anyone managed to get Google Exchange working properly? Im able to sync mails, but not Contacts or Calendar entries?
Will add more doubts if I come across.
P.S. Ive searched before posting. If I did miss, kindly show me the link

1. If you go to contacts, then select the contact, edit, and a few lines down is "file as". It's labourious so may be easier to do from a PC
If you go to "people", you need to go to the contact, edit, scroll down to reach "more" at the end and it puts you in the contact edit field described aboce.
2. No idea, sorry.
Google Sync working fine here using the settings as per their set up pages, Calender and Contacts working.
for mass managing of the contacts in the right order you can use 'contacts changer 1.3'

Thanks a lot brother! That made the task a whole lot simpler!
Just a note that Contacts changer is not free anymore.
Now another problem I've been facing is that, Im not able to Copy Paste in Contacts app. Like I want to Cut one fields details and put it in another field, but whenever I select the text, and try to tap on it inoder to hold and get the menu, the text gets deselected.
Im not able to Copy-Cut-Paste properly.

Be carefull because Google Sync doesn't support Task synchronization.
You've to disactivate it to be able to synchronize Contacts, Calendar & Mails.
^^ Yea bro. You're right! Tasks was the issue! Now everything works perfect
But the CopyPaste problem still exists for the Contacts app (among other random apps) Any solution for that?
I think the only solution is to install a keyboard that has Cut/Copy/Paste functions.
My favourite is Touchpal but there are others that do this.
Ironically the original WinMo keyboard did include the Ctrl key so these operations were possible

cannot see full inbox. only 25 show...help?

hey guys. i cannot seem to find how to view my whole inbox in the email application. i only see 25 emails.. i use gmail. any ideas?
Slide to the email screen. Click Menu>Sync options. It defaults to downloading just the last week's worth of emails. Make changes on this page to get more emails to show.
i don`t have the SYNC option you are refering to...for some reason it does not show. Is this the direct path? Menu/Sync ?
Yes when I click Menu one of my choices is Sync Options. Are you using active sync to sync the gmail?
start, tools, activesync, menu, options, highlight email, klick settings below, and change the number/timespan of emails to download (first dropdownmenu)

Sorry my fault. If you dont use exchange you cant use those settings
In your case (pop3/imap) go to: email tab, inbox, menu, extras, options, click your email acount, timetable (or similar=2nd Option), download all messages (2nd dropdown menu) and you are done
