This baffles me with the stock mail app on my S4 Active. How do I get notifications for new emails in a subfolder on my office365 exchange account and view all my latest emails in all folders? I thought maybe "Combined Inbox" would show all my latest emails but in all the subfolders but it just shows the inbox as well.
I am coming from the HTC One which had a nice "All Email" view which showed all emails from all folders under one single view. I never thought that would be so helpful!
I hope there's a good solution out there that I'm just missing. Thanks for your help!

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 organise my mail into their respective folders, so they don't appear in the inbox.
WIth the X1, it doesn't notify you when you have a new message in any folder, it only notifies you when you have a new message in the inbox only.
I think it would quite useful if a program was developed to create a same notification when an email arrives in any folder in Outlook on teh X1, not just in the inbox.
Any suggestions?
I've had the same problem. The way I solved it was to go to your settings in Gmail (from the web, not your phone) and forward all incoming mail to your Hotmail account. If you don't have one, get one. Now when your phone syncs with hotmail, You will get all your email as they arrive.....And Your Gmail mail will be untouched still in their folders. There's really no need to check Gmail anymore as all your mail is forwarded to one account (Hotmail).
I prefer to use Gmail as my primiary account and don't like having so many email accounts.
I'm sure this is just a case of tell the phone to notify you when ANY folder has a new message in it.
Thanks for reading this request...
Some how I have got an indication of 2 emails on the email indictor on my ORANGE UK Touch 3G.
I have checked for emails on the device but can't find anything I've missed. Any thoughts how to correct the indicator..
Thanks Phil
go to your email inbox. In the upper left corner, it should say inbox. If you click on it, you get a list of other folders, including sent, bulk, and trash. You might have one that says "Outlook Email" Check in that folder for unread emails. Probably have the subject "Email tips and tricks".
Hi,
Thanks for that, must have missed those Outlook ones tucked away....
Phil
No prob. Always comes up after you set up a new exchange or activesync or something. forget which does it.
little bit off topic
Is it possible to get rid of Outlook E-mail folders?
I sync only my contacts and calendar from Outlook, never email. It is not ticked. My default email program on my desktop PC is Windows Mail, not Outlook. But the Outlook folders are there cluttering the screen.

AFAIK the outlook Inbox is defaulted and cannot be deleted. When you uncheck, it just do not sync with your PC/notebook, but the folder is still there. Similar with other email accounts.
Thank you, azahidi

I tried to search but could not find anything.
On my exchange email, I've got multiple folders and emails are sent to the different folders directly.
In HTC email program, I can look at other folders and see unread email there but I can't see unread emails (and get notifications) across all folders, except of course if I missed a configuration?
That's the way it works. If you've got rules to move mails to Exchange folders you won't get new mail notifications. Same thin happens if you use Outlook as the email client, you won't get any notification for mails that got to folders.
What bugs me is that if you hit menu->folders then the unread count isn't shown there - unless I'm missing something

I also am trying to figure this out. I basically want the ability to receive and be notified of all emails including all subfolders. Regarding Fed's comment, I agree that's how it's supposed to work, but in Outlook you can set a rule to display a notification. In my Outlook I set that as the top most rule for all incoming email so I get a notification no mater what rule runs. Even my BBerry allowed me to select folders that were also monitored and hence a notification and email were recieved. HTC however doesn't seem to have an option to do this. It actually sounds like you guys are getting a step further. If I select menu --> folders I see the folders, but not the email within the folders. Anyone know how to setup notifications and receive email for subfolders in exchange on the HTC?
I want to add that before I used Touchdown and touchdown can show emails from all selected folders.
Are follow-ups working for you (mine are auto-flagged in outlook)?
For info, I've asked the question to HTC. Good news, they replied.
Bad news...
There is no setting for notifications on new mails in servers specifiaclly, If you are using a Windows Mobile based phone you can set these folders to be synchronized and on new mails in these folders you should get a notification upon new mails. On our Android based devices there is sadly enough no way to do this.
I've got my Nexus 4 configured with my work email account and configured the sync options for all my sub folders however I do not get alerts when mail arrives in the sub folders. Works fine for the inbox but there is no notification when any of the sub folders receive a message.
Also its annoying that there is no all message view (like in sense) for the mail account
The android mail client has always done that.
I use Aquamail, which lets you configure which folders you get notifications for. It has a unified inbox as well but I've never used that feature.
