[ SOLVED ] sync all hotmail folders ??? - EVO Shift 4G General

So I have a question that I hope you guys can help with. I have a HOTMAIL account and can't sync all my folders. I can only access : Inbox, Trash, Sent, Drafts, and Outbox. I have a lot more folders than that, and need access to them. Anyone know how to sync the rest of them?
SOLVED
After lot's of searching I found the answer on droidforums. Hope this helps everyone. Followed these instructions,and works like a charm . Here's the link : http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...s/76104-hotmail-android-finally-good-way.html
EDIT : When doing these instructions you have to leave the Domain name BLANK.

I don't use hotmail I'm sorry :\ there is nothing in the settings of the app to help or either on phone goto Settings>Accounts & Sync then the hotmail app should be there with a few options..just a shot in the dark..like I said I don't use it but that's my best guess
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App

Nope tried that. Thanks. I know there's got to be a way.

a friend of mine is trying to get this working on his Evo, any info on this would be great.

Using Hotmail

What is the best way to set a Hotmail account through Inbox ?
I installed Pocket Hotmail but, after I create a new account in Inbox using Hotmail, this account does not show up with the other Accounts.
Moreover, if I go to my Hotmail account using PIE (msn.com), I can read my received messages but NOT the attachments, whether they are standard pictures or Word documents or whatever.
Any clue ?
Try installing the Windows Mobile 2003 patch.
Its available at: http://www.frieger.com/photmail/wm2003.html

Hi Qman
I installed the patch, but unfortunately nothing happened.
Thanks anyway

Sorry to hear that, I guess its still not ready then. Maybe you'll have better
luck when the full version is released.
Try the New version 2.5 Beta
Hello
give their New version 2.5 Beta a try it might do the job http://www.frieger.com/photmail/beta.html
regards.
Othman
I tried the both V2.2 with the WM2003 patch and V2.5 beta and no luck
No luck for me, either!
In the previous version, after creating the account, I couldn't find it.
With this latest beta version, I found the account I created, but the inbox showed empty (although, actually, it was not).
Ok found another Hotmail program called HTTPMail ($5.00 to buy) by Adrian Software and its working great on my WM2003 upgraded XDA I. So can somebody give it a try on their XDA II and report your results.
HTTPMail can be found at:

HTTPMAIL
i just downloaded that free trail programm.
now the following problem,
I can I ensure that Hotmail dails internet, and my normal work mail (pop3) dails another number (as set up under conncetions).
As i believe mail can only dail one number.

You've lost me on the dialing, confirming you're connecting via GPRS, right?
If so why are you using (2) different connections?
no Gprs
I use internet trough a dail-up connection
and i retrieve e-mails trough a pop3 server (work)
And now i want to have one e-mail account calling work, and the other internet
Dailing problems solved
Ok solved the dialing problem
So it is calling internet, but now some other problems, like not known protocoll.

Strange, confirming that you have hotmail set as your "Domain" in your Inbox settings and "HTTP" selected as your Account Type?
If so try doing a soft reset and see if that helps!
HTH
Iam getting further
It connects, and has downloaded all my folders from Hotmail, but they are empty.
What am I doing wrong. I really like this one to work
it works - it works
thanks guys. this is it, I am very happy.
I forgot to tell how much to download,
:roll: so it downloaded my folders, but nothing in it.
he this is super
THANKS :lol:
Qman thanks. Finally a good solution that works
Hiya,
Ive just purchased HTTPMail and got it working nicely on my xda2 over a bluetooth connection. The only thing that isn't working is the sub folders. It downloads the folder names but none of the content.
Any idea's anyone?

Thats good news on the bluetooth connection, thanks!
BTW just checked my online sub-folders and they're empty too, so go figure! :wink:
But here's a long-shot, while at your Hotmail Inbox, go to Tools, Manage Folders and check the folder that you want synchronized. Let use know how this works out!
Also it would be nice if you deleted your duplicated postings, it appears that your send key may have got stuck!

Email signature and reply all issues

Hi all,
Love the X1 but have a few niggles which bother me on a daily basis:
1. Email Signature
When ever I have reset the phone or lost power for some reason, my signature reverts to the "sent from my x1" signature. Have to change it back each time. Oddly, it only happens to the signature on my Exchange email, the Gmail one I use is not affected. It stays as what I set it as.
2. Reply All
I noticed this one on my crappy Omnia (had 3 in a row, all faulty). Must be a WM6.1 thing... When I am on the To part of the email, I select Reply All and it decides to send me my reply. How stupid!
Has anyone else seen these issues please?
Open the file explorer of your choice. Go to \Windows\Autostart\ or \Windows\Startup\ (depending on your ROM) and delete the file SignatureReplicator.exe, voila, you can now set your own exchange e-mail signature.
Thanks for that!! Brilliant answer.
I assume the Reply all issue just bothers all WM6.1 users and I have to live with it?

Regarding the reply all issues, check out the link below:

Basically it is saying that Messaging does not really know who you are, so to work around that issue, you have to enter your email address for that account.
There are instructions shown in the link.
Hope it helps.
This is really nice to have this stupid little problem fixed, thanks!
Odd - if you set up a new account (I have a gmx account) you don't get these issues... I think it only applies to the default outlook inbox account. My GMX account is a seperate inbox........

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.

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 so much clown shoes this is so simple but so easy to overlook i spent hours before i found this now have my saved mails
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?

hotmail problems . read here

HI , after loads of frustration not being able to set up HOTMAIL on a WINDOWS MOBILE phone (HD2) i have about given up .
i have called my provider and contacted HTC and searched the net over and over for a solution .
i havent found a thing to set up my hotmail account to receive mails directly to my account until this morning while surfing YET AGAIN for a solution .
i thought i would share this with others that are having the same problem with their HOTMAIL account .
this worked for me so far . i have to click on Send/receive to receive an email but maybe it will work if i just wait out the 5 minute intervals for receiving , which i havent done yet.
I have waited the 5 minutes to receive and it is working . just to clairify !
for a person like me that isnt very good at setting up the settings correctly this was easy and problem free
here are the steps
1. Create a new email account.
2. In the email field write your email but replace the “@hotmail.com” with “@hotmail.con”, this way the OS is not going to load Windows live messenger to sync your email.
3. Disable the option “Try to get e-mail settings…”
4. Select the email provider, in this case, Internet e-mail.
5. Complete the name and account display name
6. Incoming server: “pop3.live.com:995″. Account type: POP3
7. Complete the form with your username and password. Note: the username is your full email address: “[email protected]” and not “yourusername”.
8. Outgoing mail server: “smtp.live.com:25″. Check the “outgoing server requires au…”. Click on Advanced settings and check the “Require SSL…” for incoming and outgoing e-mail.
9. Complete the rest of the setup.
10. Now, go to your email account and go to Tools > Options, once there, click on the email account you just created and click on “Edit account setup.” NOTE: It might make you wait until it syncs 1 time.
11. Replace the “@hotmail.con” with the right one “@hotmail.com” and hit next ’till the end of the setup, and done.
now click the HOME button on your handset .go to your email accounts and you will see a new email called hotmail.con .
this is the new email you just created .
you can now receive emails from your hotmail account .
click manually send / receive and it should start loading everything from your hotmail account .
I hope this has helped somone out there .
peace out !

im glad this is solved .

I just don't get the whole story. You don't need to have Windows Live running in order to use Hotmail as push mail. You only need to run Windows Live ONCE in order to setup your account. After that Hotmail is working like any other mail account.

Absolutely. That post is actually for adding more hotmail accounts, which you can't do by default. (Well, it's for adding them manually, rather than through live, which in turn allows you to have more than 1.)
can you elaborate a bit more on your post .

Then search harder in future. When you've been on here longer and helped people more, you may appreciate how frustrating it is to see the same things posted repeatedly. Until that point, you don't understand so you think it's okay. This is not "more useless posts on why you posted this". This is trying to reiterate that you need to improve your "lack of search terminology".
I'm not arguing with you, so therefore will post on this matter no more. Say what you need to say and forget about it.
i have words of advice for you .
i am a senior member on another forum with 130,000 posts over many years .
if you see something that you know has been asked before , why read the Thread/post . who gave you the GOD of the forums title and the search function.
be kind , that will make your life alot easier instead of posting crap like " search harder" and so on .
i do take offence to posts like yours when i am in the newb seat on this board . welcome me and then post a simple link to the related thread that has already been posted .
not this .

I've followed your instructions and glad to report that it works, well kinda. The emails in my Hotmail In Box are now on my phone, but, I can't get the phone to sync to the additional folders that I have created in my Hotmail account.
Example, log into Hotmail using a browser on PC.
Go to folders and you'll have Inbox, Sent etc. I've also created a couple of others like Job Search.
Go to your email on your phone and you only have Inbox and Sent
Any ideas on how I get it to sync with the other folders in my Hotmail account?
I hope the above makes sense, shout if not and I'll do my best to go further into it.
Thanks in advance for anyone that can help.
Sorry to dig up an old post.
I have used this method to setup an additional hotmail account. It works well enough to received mails but if I read (or delete) the same mail from Outlook on my desktop PC it does not mark the mail as read (or delete it) on my HD2 even if I do a manual send and receive. Sync is set to "every 5 minutes".
Is there any way to solve this problem?

[Q] New in Android + OWA - Mail App

Hi Guys!!
Bought the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.. After being using iphone since the first one..
So far the transaction has been ok even though I'm completed out once when you guys talk about Roms, Kernel etc... I knew how to jailbreak etc but once I'm new on this android world,can someone help me and give me the basics?
Can someone please also mention to me the best website to download apps for free?
The 2nd thing that I would need your help with is something that actually has an high importance for me.. In the iPhone I was using an app that had the name Inbox Pro and that help me to connect and arrange the emails by synchronizing with my company owa website.. Basically at first I would log in manually.. Then it saved the details and all the times that I was then opening the application, would synchronize automatically without the need of inserting my domain,username, password... And also it arranged the email in a very , user-friendly way, just like the email app that comes with the iOS...
Well, after searched in the google play,found this : Outlook Mobile Access Lite OWA
I did download and paid for it.. But is not working!!! Can't synchronize.. I don't waste more of my money for nothing..
Anyone that can help me with this?
Regards,
JV
Please try touchdown app for email. It can connect to your email exchange server.
Tried and tested.

I'm using that same program, Outlook Mobile Access Lite OWA and it is working correctly for me. You might want to double check all the required info is entered correctly.

Hi!
My website is owa.marriott.com
So, there are different steps.. First I have to select Generic or Individual log in... Then insert the email.. Then page domain/username and password...So 3 steps are involved.. this is why not easy to find an app to do this.. In box pro did it...
The Outlook Mobile Access Lite OWA doesn't let me after the page i have to insert the email.. When i insert the email to proceed,click submit but doesn't move...
Touchdown didn't work too.. should be one that I can manually log in.. then would save the details...
Any help solution please?
Please find attached pictures so you can see the 3 steps I have to follow any time i need to log in...
Please help..
JV
The stock E-Mail App that comes with the phone (E-Mail) has Exchange Support and works perfectly fine for me. I used it with Exchange 2010 and am now using it with two 2013 accounts.
Go to settings, rightmost tab, accounts, add account, choose Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, then proceed with your login and password and possibly servername etc.
