Is it possible to be able to view all of my folders on my Google Mail account and not just my standard inbox.
Hotmail works perfect...I can view everything...It syncs all folders available.
But Google Mail doesn't.
Any ideas? Or is that as good as it gets.
Thanks
I suggest trying out Google Mail Pop3-mail.

That's what I've done. It doesn't sync my custom folders that I've made or anything like that.
All I get is the standard folders such as inbox, deleted, drafts, sent items and outbox.
I want to be able to see all of my folders that I have just like I can view them in a normal browser.
I didn't know you could syncronize folders using POP3, but I've been wrong before (this one time in 1984 I think :wink: )...
I currently use activesync to keep a copy of my desktop outlook email on my phone. I have also configured pop email on the phone so i can download emails, however I can't find a way of getting the emails to download into the same folder that has all the synced emails in from my desktop pc.
Does anybody know a way of doing this as at the moment i can't sync the messages i downloaded on the phone with the desktop pc and emails are spread between 2 different folders.
Thanks
Hi guys,
I have the HD2 and I set it with 2 differents accounts settings.
1st Account : my company settings in POP
2nd Account : my company settings in IMAP
From my computer, I send email to these accounts with attached a pdf file and on the email body, 3 inserted pictures (2photos and 1 pic into the signature)
In the POP account, I could access to the attached PDF file but I could not see the inserted pics.
In the IMAP account, I could see the inserted pics but not the attached pdf file.
This is very annoying as I will use the HD2 for business purpose, I have very often emails with photos inserted + word or pdf files attached...
I sent the same email to IPHONE and I could get the email with all attached files and inserted pics perfectly
Do you think that this problem is coming from wm6.5 or from the Phone ??
Pocket outlook cannot manage multi attachment
On the IMAP settings, I have set download full mail and all attachments.
On the POP, download the full email.
I realized as well that if I remove the inserted pics, I can see the attached pdf file on the IMAP account.
is someone getting the same issue ???
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.
My dad is having issues viewing attachments on his Gmail account on his Focus. I also have a Focus and can view email attachments fine (both for my university email and personal Yahoo! email). He's had issues with both PowerPoint files (.pps) and an Adobe Reader file. A strange thing about this is that when he forwarded the email to me to see if it would work, the attachment appeared just fine and I was able to download it.
Thanks for any answers.
as for the adobe attachment. Does he have the free adobe x reader app installed. Also, is he saving the attachements to his phone and then open them with appropriate program. Also, he might want to delete gmail account on phone and set it up again or go into settings gmail account and see if all settings are correct.
