Auto-delete emails?

Hello Everyone,
I have a T-Mobile USA SDA and had a problem with emails on the device.
Not sure if it is working as designed or if there was a blug, so I thought I would float it by you guys.
Setup:
Mail client on T-Mobile USA SDA
Configured manually to check pop and send smtp with my gmail account. It is set such that the message headers are downloaded first.
I connect WIFI and send/recieve
I receive a header I had sent myself for testing
I click on it and select to download the message body.
I go back to the inbox.
I do send and receive.
I receive the message body.
I read it.
I go back to the inbox.
I do send and recieve.
Result:
The message is removed without a trace. it is not put into deleted items folder, nor does it remain in the inbox folder.
Is this expected behavior? I am not allowed to store mail on my device? Is there a registry setting to change this behavior? There is no options within the application. Is there a registry setting to change wheremails are stored in general? thanks for seeing the barrage of questions!

Yes I got the same result with you. Mine is a Dopod 577w (Tornado in Taiwan). This behaviour also happens to other mail servers.

ni hao,
I had searched a bit about it and found some places explain it. The explanation sounds weak, but it looks like something we will have to live with until either gmail or ms changes their server or client software.

The problem is with the default behaviour of Gmail - it will "hide" all the
already-downloaded mail. Unfortunately, it seems not even now that the beta
phase is long over can you effectively override this behaviour - the POP3
radio buttons just don't stick in the Settings window.
Therefore, the best solution IMHO is switching to an alternative e-mail
client that doesn't remove the messages that are not available online any
more from the local view. The alternative mailer clients FlexMail and Qmail
are like so - see the row "Does it only display mail that is still on the
server? " in the comparison chart of my mailer client roundup at
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=569&more=1 . Of the two,
FlexMail offers scheduling capabilities.
PocketPC MAG:
Does it only display mail that is still on the server? : one of the most-criticized problems with Messaging is that it does not show older messages (messages that have been deleted in the meantime) in the Inbox unless you explicitly (mass-)move them to a separate folder. As can be seen, it's, in addition to Messaging, only nPOPw that deletes the messages from the local view that don't exist on the server any more. The other mailer applications don't.
I might just write a pop/smtp client software myself. Much easier to tweak it to do what I need it to do, and in my previous job I worked for an email client so I know those protocols well. I probably won't add advanced functionality or IMAP/Exchange, because I have no individual use for those.

Very Useful info.
My current solution to this issue is Outlook & ActiveSync. Just download your mail to PC and sync. Mail in mobile Outlook account will not disappear unless you delete them.
By the way, I think Gmail mobile website is also okay for mail browsing & composing.
(it is not a good experience posting reply here using Pocket IE)
I'd like to write a mail client using .NET CF just for fun if I have time. I'm not a C++ guy.

Agendus Power on PPC

I have converted from Palm to WM5, and am really missing Agendus for two very important (to me) features.
Firstly I need software that can link people to appointments and then when a contact is selected will show up that contacts history ( a chronological list of all their appointments)
Secondly I need to have custom field in the contact infomation which will sync either to specified fields in Outlook 2003 or will add the custom fields to the contact notes on outlook.
Inesoft Address book though unstable does have custom fields.
But nothing I have foound has true contact history.
Thanks for all your help

Wow!!! From Palm? Which device did you do it to? Which device's ROM did you port over?

all the excitement of a reply - only to find it is a smart ass comment. would you like the word "migrate" more

Could you have been a bit less violent in answering?

Try Pocket Informant. You can find it on the same website (under Windows Mobile section) of Agendus. Hope it helps

Thanks for that. I tried both Pocket informant and Agenda fusion. Both are better than the built in PIM management, but neither offer Contact History or custom fields.

Xda Atom Exec - doesn't sync SMS folders

How come the SMS folders I have made in my Atom Exec does not show up in Outlook? All the messages in the inbox do, but the messages in the other folders.

Non of the PPC devices sync SMS. This is an M$ "feature".

SMS-synk
The Jeyo is included with the Exec, isn't it able to sync folders? Must I pay extra to get that functionality?

Oh, I didn't know about Jeyo, I just meant the built in outlook + ActiveSync don't do the job. No idea about that app.
Maybe it has a desktop component (any app that adds a sync category does) which needs installation, but I am just shooting in the dark here, sorry.

I recieved e-mail from Jeyo, they said that folder synk will be available in the 2.1 version, but they had no idea on when this version will be available.

SMS Send vCard from orig DERS.s.r.o. v1.1 fixed

hi there,
in WM5, WM6, WM6.1 there it is a little bit tricky to send a contact as a vcard per SMS.
normally a vcard would be send per MMS.
Orig (bad) Solutions:
1.) send contact (is working)
programm "contacts" -> "hold" contact -> send contact -> SMS / MMS -> mark/select your wanted parts and click "done" -> and then input the adress which should receive the contact.
(this options can't use from other apps (ex: Pocket Informant and so on ...)
2.) send as vcard (doesn't work for me - only empty SMS i got)
programm "contacts" -> "hold" contact -> -> send as vcard -> new window with MMS opened, then click on "Menu" and choose "send per SMS" -> then you have sign a warning window -> and then input the adress which should receive the contact.
(this options can't use from other apps (ex: Pocket Informant and so on ...)
or other extra tools ...
i know about vcard DERS r.s.o - an old tool, which doesn't work on the new system (only compatible with wm2003=
and this tool - i used again to make it compatible.
here is my solution, which work very easy.
+ easier and direct way for send a contact as vcard per SMS
+ work for wm2003, wm5, wm6, wm6.1
+ small tool ~20KB
+ it can be used from apps which are supporting the extra "PimExtensions" from Contacts (ex: contacts, pocket informant, spb diary, ....)
have phun - cu camel
PLS: all honor goes to "DERS r.s.o." - i#m only picked the parts which are compatible to new systems and make a clean install routine.

[Q] Remove contacts birthdays from calender / showing twice in calendar

Hello,
just bought the Mate 7 and set it up. Synchronized the phone with the software "myPhone"Explorer".
I'm not using Google Calender -> no sync etc.
I notice now, that all the birthdays of my contacts are shown in the calender.
As I use also Outlook, i already do have all birthdays listed in my calender.
So, now I have shown every birthday twice in my Mate 7 which I (of course) don't like.
Does anyone have had the same issue and knows if it's possible to disable an option of showing every contacts birthday automatic in the calendar?
Regards,
Bacelo

Hi Grafet,
thank you for your answer.
Just not to get you wrong: you mean the Online Google Calender (https://www.google.com/calendar/) or?
If so, showing birthday is disabled there.
I searched everywhere in the calendar settings of the Mate 7, but couldn't find any option not showing any contact birthdays.
*weird*
Regards, Bacelo

Hello,
I have exactly the same issue till 6 month.
And I couldn't find a way to disable this option.
I think it comes from the contact app.
Anyone can help us ????

Hello,
I guess I just figured it out...
It's the definitely a thing of a combo of calendar- & contact-app like an included function to automatically show the birthdays of the contacts in the calendar (which isn't actually that bad).
But, like me, synchronizing with "MS Outlook" via the software "myPhoneExplorer", I got in trouble because I also have the birthdays in Outlook as an real calendar entry.
So final what I did to get it fixed:
- deleted all birthday calendar entrys in the Mate 7 (which was pulled over from Outlook)
- then, in the software myPhoneExplorer -> settings -> synchronizing -> events & tasks -> enhanced/extended -> filters
- there are two filter fields and in the second I entered: Geburtstag;Birthday
It may differ a bit as I have the sync software in German.
You also might change "Geburtstag;Birthday" to whatever your category naming in Outlook is for the group of birthdays (if you have set that up).
In addition, you can also use the name filter of the first filter field (in my case "Geburtstag von").
*voila* :cyclops:
-> So what it does now, the software filters and skips all Outlook calendar entries of the category you configured (f.e. "Geburtstag" / "Birthday" etc.)

Bacelo

Hello,
I agree with your method. It corrects the fact that we show them twice.
My problem is that I have birthdays stored in my contacts but, for some of them, I don't want to display them in my calendar.
And if I understood your method well, you erased your birthdays from your outlook calendar. I need them in outlook.
Thank you for your solution but I'll try to find another one but as you said, I think it's a native function that is not customizable.

Nope, I did NOT erase anything from outlook calender.
1.) I did erase/delete all the birthday entries in the ANDROID Mate 7 calender (which had been inserted on the very first sync with outlook).
2.) Then, finally only all the CONTACT birthday entries in the Android calender (auto include function?!) showed up
3.) Finally I did set up the filter function in myPhoneExplorer software to EXLUDE Outlooks Birthday calender entries during syncs.
What it does now when synchronizing is to sync everything EXCEPT Outlooks birthday CALENDER entries.
Hope this helps.

I'm facing a strange behavior. I'm using myphone explorer as well to synchronize with Lotus Notes. For some reason the latest calendar entries from Notes have been synchronized into the Huawei birthday calendar.
I didn't even realized that this calendar exists, however if really like to know how to disable it or at least how to prevent MPE to synch with it.
Any ideas?

you can set up some "Ausnahmen" / exceptions as a filter.
This can be done for
- contacts
- calendars & events
So all you need to do is configure a exception filter in MPE in your profile -> menu -> settings (or just hit "F2" in MPE) -> synchronizing -> "Termine & Events" -> Erweitert
- See the right column "Filter" -> the possible entry fields
- in my example, I entered in the first field "Geburtstag von" and in the second one "Geburtstag;Birthday"
So check, how the birthday entries look like in you Lotes Notes and set up MPE filters respectively.

Bacelo
