Hi Everybody,
I recently got TP2 rhodium. The 1st WM system for me.
I tried to use Outlook in a "natural" way but I found some simple things I can't do.
Explain.
I have 3 accounts in my phone:
- "Outlook", which is synced with my company PC via ActiveSync.
- A "work account", that I use to receive and send emails using my company ISP (i.e. [email protected]) when I am away.
- A "personal account", that I use to receive and send emails using my personal ISP (i.e. [email protected]) when I am away.
Everything works: Outlook sync, work send-receive emails, personal send-receive emails.
The most simple thing I expect I can do is:
1) I sync Outlook via Activesync. So I get an updated copy of my pc inbox/outbox in my TP2. Including emails I didn't read yet.
2) I go away, get in the inbox of my phone outlook account and read emails. There's one I need to reply immediately!
3) I reply to that email, but...
the reply goes into the outgoing box but it remains there. It will be sent the next time I'll sync, but it will be next week.
I didn't find a way to use one of the 2 other accounts to send that email from inside the "outlook account". It's a reply, so I have to write it inside that account.
The most natural thing would be:
- an option in the "from" field allowing me to use one of the two accounts
- send the email
- watch it going in the outbox of my "outlook account", so that it will be synced the next time.
in addition,
if I send an email from my "work account", it will go into its outbox, but I cannot move it to the "outlook account" outbox, so that it can't be synced when I connect to my pc!!
I suppose many people encountered the same problem.
I tried to search, but I couldn't find any.
Anyone can address me to a solution?
I thank you all in advance.
Hi..
Thats what i did in the past.. i sync emails so that i know which ones i need to reply... but found it a hassle at times...
why not try using pop3 directly? Jus save a copy of emails on server.... i pop as and when i need... but only my outlook in laptop downloads emails.. i find it better in sense i have contorl when i use outlook.. but thats jus me and my 2cents..
Hi chuachongchee,
I hope I'll find a straight way for you and for me to do what I mean.
I can't believe it is not possible to do such an elementary thing with an almost 600€ gear and a WM at its 6th release!!! And such a cool design !!
Do outlook mobile developers ever work away from their pc?
I am not good in WM software "handling", but a lot of people is, and I am sure someone has already solved this issue.
Just hope I'll find one...
hi asamax,
Just confirming that I have a similar problem that would be solved if I could change the "From" field in the outgoing message (as with your problem).
I also have done a lot of searching and found nothing yet.
I have found that its possible to write "plugin" apps for
tmail (aka Outlook mail for WM) but found none that allow the change of the "From" field - annoying!

Don't mind,
I am sure this will be solved.
Such simple change + Such evident miss.
Please skilled-xda-developers write an outlook hacked rev. allowing:
- choose the account in the email "from" field
- copy/move emails between different accounts folders
- some additional options for each accounts would be useful: default c/c and hidden c/c recipients.
the 3rd in the list allowed me to solve this issue in my old Nokia E70 (!!).
I just put a rule for incoming mail in my PC outlook: when I receive a mail in whic i am in hidden c/c AND in the from fields, move it in the sent items folder. But it was not a very clean way... I expect more from my brand new rhodium!!!
Hi,
I am not sure if this has been posted before but if not I am unsure how people can handle not being able to search within EMAILS (Read EMAILS not GMAIL)
N1 is able to search through emails if it is a GMAIL account - why can't it do the same for Email (exchange or POP).
I mean Google is the Search KING of all and they overlooked this function? Is there a mod out there for this?

If you find it let me know I found it lacking heavily in Exchange support. I use Touchdown for Exchange by Nitro its in the App Market has search, Calendar integration even GAL lookups. It was the best Exchange client that I could find. Debating on wether to move this thread to the software forum hmmm...

Don't move please
I know that Touchdown has that facility...however I am hoping someone can mod the rom to just allow searching within emails?
Use k9 mail from the Google code website ver 2510
I think it feature search in emails
In Fact it does but not via menu you just use the search button when you are on your list of email page
Unless I am missing something, why can't I search my corporate e-mail inbox? I can search virtually everything else (including gmail), but can't perform a basic function that has been available on Blackberry's since the beginning of time?
How am I supposed to find e-mail messages buried in a list of 100s if not 1000s?
Hi All,'
I have been searching for ages to find a free email client which supports multiple Microsoft Exchange accounts with pushmail.
Yesterday I accidently found one. I'm not the developper of the program, I don't want the credits, but for all who have been looking for this app and didn't want to pay for other 3rd party email clients, look in the market for the app called:
Improved Email
I now have 3 Exchange accounts on my HTC Desire icw pushmail and it works like a charm.
The only thing that lacks in this email client is the "Move to" option to move an email message to a subfolder and a nice widget which displays the unread mail count. So if there's any one who can make a nice widget for this great app, please do.

Thanks - this looks really useful. Will try it out. Been using both TouchDown and RoadSync to try and find the best one for my taste...
Does anyone know why I can search my imap (aol) inbox and not my exchange inbox in ICS? I'm thrilled we now have a search function but would rather search my work email instead of my personal messages.
Plus one on that... Really looking for that answer.
Thanks!
