Hi there...
Anyone know a smart way for moving mails between outlook and other mailacouts on the universal ?
I often have mails in my suynced folders, and need to forward then while been out of the office, I cannot find a way to move the mail to my "mobile" acound, to be able to forward it.
this is a lousy bug in wm5 :-(
You cannot choose from which account you want to send a mail, unless you were in the right folder when you clicked on "New" mail ! :evil:
If you save it as a draft in one of the mail account folders, you cannot move it to another mail acct....thats plain stupid of MS....
you got to live with it, no other go! copy/paste the text....and create a new mail The only way!

This is just one of things that used to frustrate me to no end with a POP account.
Two months ago I switched to a hosted exchange account, and it has been nothing but joy. Now email, contacts, calander and tasks work the way they should.
Check out www.4smartphone.com they have a 15 day trial.
I do agree with you, but my company use pop3, so i'm stuck..
The other problem with sending mail and it cuts of the content (text) within the mail are even worsh for me....
No problem with you're company using POP, 4smartphone will PULL it off their POP server.
Sorry I've got no ideas on what is happening with your email being truncated.

Every time i use Gmail to send out a email i see that same email in the "inbox" folder after. Whats even more annoying is i get notifications for this since the email i sent appears in my INBOX folder. When i check my "Sent" folder, its empty - even though ive sent 100's of emails from my device.
Anyone experiencing this? Anyone know what may be the cause of it?
I also have Lotus Notes emails being retrieved by my phone and i don't not experience this behavior with that account.

I was having the exact same problem, thanks for the solution.
Atropo - worked. thanks for the solution.
thanks!
ETA: looks like a spoke too soon, now it doesnt recieve any mail at all, and it deleted all the messeges that were already stored on the phone
suggestions?
I still have the same problem of sent mail being in the inbox as new mail.
Deep breath everyone...
You need the "recent:" in your login name or you won't get any emails at all. Seeing the sent messages in the Inbox is just a quirk of Gmail. Get use to it.
Any solution to this issue yet?
It would be nice to fix, but doubt it will happen.
I get a copy of the message I sent in my inbox on my 6800 even if I compose and send the message from the web on my Mac or from Entourage on the same Mac.
Like TC1 said, it's a GMail quirk...
Here's what I do to avoid loosing new messages and to NOT see your own sent items:
Setup a second GMail account, with any name you desire (no one will ever see it)
For instance:
[email protected]
&
[email protected]
Foward ALL mail from [email protected] > [email protected].
Setup your PPC to only check [email protected], but to only SEND mail using the login/password for [email protected].
And of course, use "recent:" before the username of the [email protected] account.
This works wonders. I've actually got about 7 e-mail accounts fowarding to my single mobile account. Granted, with this method you're always sending from just one account, but in the event you only have one and want Gmail to funciton properly, I find this is the best solution.
Hope it helps!

I'm having a problem with outlook and mail attachments.
I've received a number of emails which have another email attached. If I try and open the attachment I get the message "The attachment is of a file type that could be unsafe, etc, etc."
Therefore if I go to safe the attachment by using "Save As....." it wont let me select the type of file, I just have to save it. The file is therefore saved without a file extension.
Consequently, seemingly the only way I can open the file is to run up word and open it from there, the file opens, but the header information text is readable but the main message would appear to be in ASCII hex.
This is very frustrating Is there a fix? Have I missed something obvious??
How long should one wait before bumping?
I suspect not many people get emails embedded in emails anymore, so it's probably not something that is that common. I'll have a play tomorrow, see if i can reproduce it.
Do the embedded emails have the .msg extension?
Emm, you are not really being clear... Are you talking about emails in your outlook mobile? If so, why don't you check what the emails are on a desktop computer? See what the attachment is there, and see who is the sender and what kind of email it is. Could be a virus, who knows.

I've just tested it with my HD2, and it works fine with a .eml attachment. It is on base settings (I hard reset this morning) so maybe it is a program or setting you've added?
I have encountered the same problem.
I think it happens when someone tries to forward a mail and i don't know if this is significant but it always happens for me when someone tries to forward and email from an aol account. (not sure if aol does something when forwarding)
I haven't yet found a way to read it on the hd2 but whenever I check it on my pc it displays fine.
OK, I understand the confusion. I'll try and put it into perspective; imagine the scene:
You're at the car hire desk, following a delayed and very frustrating flight. You need the hire car booking code for the nice lady so she can give you your car. It's late and the work office is now empty.
You know you've been email'd the booking code from the office.
However the office has used that nice trick in XP Outlook where you select several emails, click forward and add the address.
The selected e-mails arrive as attachments on a new e-mail.
You 'click to save' the attachment, the attachment being the e-mail with the booking ref. Only to find you have no means of viewing it.
Lady behind desk not very impressed by HTC phone and wonders why I didn't buy an Iphone like everyone else. Being a lady behind a desk she is not interested in Snapdragon!!
The end result. Get laptop out, wait an age for it to boot up, log-in, no wifi, so copy saved attachment over to Laptop from phone. Give it a .msg extension. All is well in the world.
Life shouldn't be this complicated!
Just run a test for ya, sending from outlook 2007, by selecting 4 inbox emails and choosing fwd, sent to my outlook sync account, and to another pop server i check only from the phone.
Attachments went with .eml extension.
No problem opening on teh phone, even when i then forwarded the email on as a fwd, so they were double nested.
Must be office xp? what extension does it give the mail attachments?

Thanks for that. It got me thinking. It would appear to be an issue with my Sky E-mail account, although the phone isn't completely blameless.....I'll explain;
If I forward the original e-mail plus attachments to my Hotmail account from Outlook XP, it arrives on my HD2 with the attachments properly recognised, and as you say, you can open the attachments.
However, If I send the same mail from Outlook XP to my Sky email account, when I logged online to view the emails plus attachment, Sky (aka Google) 'decodes' the attached e-mails and appends to the end of the original e-mail.
If I forward the e-mail from Sky Online back to either Outlook XP, or Hotmail the e-mail arrives with no attachments, just the text fom the attachments appended to the original e-mail. You still with me?!
However, this is not the case with the HD2! They still arrive as attachments, but they're unreadable!!
So this is going to be a no-win situation. Google will blame Microsoft, and Microsoft will blame Google (aka Sky).
Unless anyone has any other bright ideas, looks like I'm 'Donald Ducked'
(this is just a thought)
try checking the sky account for a setting that may be forcing send in plain text rather than html?
A Fix?
OK, I have a fix.....
If I forward the message from my Phone's IMAP SKy account to my Hotmail account, Hotmail can decode it, and recognises the attachments as e-mail. I can then open the attachments on my phone.
Bizarley, if I do the same but to My Outlook XP account, it too doesn't recognise the attachments, and refuses to let me open them!
All a bit weird, but I have a work around.
Thanks for your help everyone, it got me on the right track.
And sorry HTC for assuming you were at fault.

I checked it out, no such option. In general the Sky IMAP email is working well, I can receive HTML based emails no problem. Just this single strange phenomenon with attached e-mails.
As someone has already said, it's not a situation you get very often. At least I have a relativly quick workaround should it happen again. Although the idea of sending an e-mail back to yourself is probably prohibitive if the attachment is very large.
I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing the issues I am and if they were able to correct it.
I have two gmail addresses, One personal and one for business.
I have Thunderbird 3.0.4 setup on my laptop using gmail's IMAP
gmail online and Thunderbird on my laptop work good together and they both match (Messages/folders) as they sync constantly under IMAP.
I get my HD2 on the 24th of March. I set up both my personal and business email addresses on my phone (Using IMAP) with settings to download all messages... I click send/receive and nothing downloads to my phone...
None of my sent or to do messages sync with gmail and show up in my folders on my phone....
When new mail comes in sometimes I get it, sometimes I don't.... When I get home and check my Laptop I find all kinds of emails that my phone never got.
If I send an email from my phone, it sends fine, receiver gets the email ok but again, there is nothing in my sent folder (even with the "save sent mail in sent folder checked in settings)
I understand the purpose of IMAP is so all email clients sync and share the same information. This isn't the case with my phone.... I've deleted my email accounts and reinstalled them paying particular attention to the settings and each time I have the same end results....
Is anyone aware of a problem with this email client on the HD2.....or could it be gmail? I dunno, I can say I've never had any problems from gmail or Thunderbird before so it's very annoying not getting my email, especially my business emails
I even emailed gmail tech support and they said its my phone.... I guess I should of expected that response.
Anyone got any suggestions???
Thanks
Nobody????
Nobody at all???
I have the mail client on my nexus 7 (not the gmail app) set up to receive mail from my gmail account but send via my virgin account, this may or may not be relevant to what I am about to ask but is the way I have set up my other android devices.
I am finding that when I try and forward an email any attachments and extra text get sent but not the main body of the forwarded email. I have the forward quoted text checked and cannot work out why it is not being sent.
Anyone else seen this or know how to fix?
Cheers
