Hi,
I know to save space, the WM5 default email client deletes locally stored emails if the emails have been deleted on the server. This property is usually configurable on ALL desktop email clients however it seems to be a locked 'feature' on WM5 which I cannot turn off!
So if you check them on a PC and have it set to remove the copy from the server, when you next send/receive on your PPC it will remove them from the device COMPLETELY.
This is really annoying as I would like to have emails I have on my pda kept indefinitely, and even after my desktop client downloads + deletes on the server. I know a 'quick' fix would be to set my desktop client to NOT delete emails on the server but I'm after a better solution, without cluttering up my remote inbox.

1. consider switching to an alternate mailer client (FlexMail 2007, Qmail etc - see my Mailer Bible for a complete overview at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=569&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 )
2. when you don't need the mails on your POP3 server any more, just move it to a different folder on your PDA. This makes sure 1. they'll remain on your PDA 2. upon the next POP3 download, they'll be deleted from your mailbox
I heartily recommend all my mailing-related articles as I've discussed these questions there quite extensively
Windows Mobile OUTLOOK automatically deleting emails
I have a similar issue. My device has Windows Moblie 6.1. In Outlook on this device, OUTLOOK automatically deletes email messages that are dated...??a few days back. I have not yet found a way to change any setting to stop this. One example is, if I don't check my email for a few days, it may get deleted before I even read it.
Is there a way to make Windows Mobile OUTLOOK stop automatically deleting emails?
Hi all,
I have two E-Mail accounts set up on my Touch HD.
1) - Imap connection to GMAIL
2) - Sync connection to Nuevasync, through to Gmail for Cal and Contacts.
Now when I chose to manage folders in number 1, if I choose one of Google's default folders (All Mail, Spam etc) they sync correctly. If I choose folders created under the Inbox, although I have the option to check their check boxes, the E-Mails in them do not replicate onto my phone.
Is this a limitation with Gmail as in the Web GUI they are not shown as folders, but they do work fine in Thunderbird using an Imap Connection.
Many Thanks,
Paul.
I have the same problems. the subfolders emails are not mapped to my phone.
sorry for bringing up an old topic but I am having the same issue on my wizard have you by chance found a solution?
Thanks,

I've always kept a copy of all my text messages in my desktop email archive using an Outlook plugin from Jeyo. However, after switching to Gmail, I'm really trying to avoid using Outlook altogether. That's why it would be great to have a program that automatically uploads all my text messages straight from my phone to my Gmail account. Kinda like MyPhone but with Gmail.
This is what it would do:
* Automatically copy every text message to Gmail;
* Upload messages from different folders: inbox, concepts and sent items, each to the appropriate Gmail locations.
I believe there's a program for this on the Android platform, but not on Windows Mobile.
I'm just posting this here as a suggestion, hoping a handy developer likes my idea, since I don't know how to do it myself.
Services like MyPhone and Dashwire let you do it to the cloud.
You can use Windows Mobile SMS Sync ( not Free ) / PIM Backup to back it up to your PC and manually send it to gMail.
Another alternateive ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324684 ) I think its no longer actively developed
hope this helps
Thanks for the suggestions. Some of them I hadn't seen before.
I'm already using MyPhone, which works automatically and does very well as a plain backup solution, but I'd really like to keep a complete archive of my correspondence (email and sms) in one place on Gmail.
On the other hand, I'm currently using Jeyo Mobile Companion to transfer my sms to gmail manually. The result is exactly what I want: each message is listed individually and chronologically among my emails. Unfortunately, this only works through desktop Outlook, and I'd like to avoid using my pc as a go-between.
So I'm still hoping for some new developement that will do this automatically and over the air. Such a program already exists for Android phones:
http://code.google.com/p/android-sms/
this would be nice
There's a Symbian program like this as well:
http://shop.psiloc.com/en/Application,262287,Psiloc+GSync
Why should Symbian and Android users have all the fun? Couldn't anyone port the Android version to Windows Mobile? It's open source...
Damn, I wish I was a developer myself.
I have been thinking about this too and I very much applaud the development of such an application too. Everything backed up to one place.
The basic idea is pretty simple, queuing a message to a specific folder on a pop3 / imap / exchange server. Restoring or syncing data from the server is more difficult, I suppose.
Sprite used to have (= not anymore) an application that continuously sent received text messages and calls as an e-mail to a specified e-mailaddress. Unfortunately, however, it was unable to restore from it.
Also, backing up messages for the first time will pose problems. Most e-mail services are capped at a maximum amount of messages per day (e.g. 1000 receive / send)
If you have an Exchange server, version 2010 wil have sms synchronisation features in it.
Cheers
Sprite Archie actually looks pretty good! I had no idea this ever existed. Too bad it's gone.
Seems like it simply forwarded text messages (and call logs) to a specified e-mail address. Ideally, I think a program could copy the messages directly to a specific e-mail folder via IMAP, right?
I see how restoring would be a problem, but I wouldn't really use this as a backup method anyway. I already have MyPhone and Sprite Backup for that.
To me, the main purpose would be archiving. Gmail just seems a natural place to store your text messages along with your e-mails: it gives you a complete overview of all your written correspondence.
Glad to see some enthousiasm for this idea!
This would be a good program, so Im putting my hand up for it as well....
(Hope that if this is done it would be compatible with the android way of doing it, thus allowing you to move texts from one platform to the other)
I've added this as a sugestion to Nuevasync as well, being that the activesync platform does allow for selecting SMS as an option to sync.
probably not what your looking for but i have my phone setup to sync my contacts and calendar through google and i run a program called phone log which puts the text message i reciever in my calendar as an event but through i would through it out there i would be interested in a program that did this though
I second this idea, it's works a treat on my Hero and I'd love to have to my sms's pushed to my SMS label in gmail on my HD2
I've actually found a copy of Sprite Archie (mentioned higher) and it works perfectly fine... At least, it did until I bought an HD2. There, it doesn't detect incoming messages. So no luck...

Hi
How do I change which of my outlook folders activesync uses with my phone?
My problem:
I recently obtained an exchange email address from work and have set up both my computer and phone to activesync with it. Prior to this I had an outlook folder that had all my contacts and notes which I want to keep. When I set up the account my company required me to use a setup file which removed all my outlook folders, which I then manually re-added.
I want to set up my phone so that it syncs email and calendars with work, and notes and contacts with my old outlook folder when connected to my computer at home.
Unfortunately activesync insists on syncing my contacts with my exchange account folder rather than my old folder.
I tried changing my default folder but I'm not sure how to do this without delivering all my exchange email to my old personal email - which as far as I can work out will result in either all my old email being deleted or all my personal email being copied to the work server (I dare not try and find out which).
Anyone have any suggestions?
Hello all.
I hope you can help me with my problem.
Sometimes, I compose new emails or reply to emails from my phone as everyone else. After 4 years I want to transfer and archive all send emails from my WP7 phone`s (7.8) "Send Items" folder to my desktop application, Outlook 2010. (If possible at all.)
Email Hosting - I use different (major) hosting provider that supports IMAP but I made that fatal mistake and configured my phone email account to work as POP3/SMTP account. (On my phone I configured my email account as POP3/SMTP instead of IMAP.)
How to move all (POP3) "Sent Items" emails out of my WP7 phone?
Now,
- I have 8251 “hijacked“ sent emails stored at "Send Items" folder on my pop3 account on my unlocked Samsung omnia7 with WP7.8.
- I want to archive them locally. That means moving, all of them (Send Items) out of the phone on my PC using any methods possible.
- I want clarify my options before I start manually forwarding all (8251) emails to myself as the only method known to me.
So,
what’s the easiest method of transferring all "Sent Items" emails from my WP7 phone`s (7.8) with POP3 account to a different location (anywhere) out of the phone?
Unlocked, Samsung Omnia 7
OS - wp 7.8
Phone Email protocols used - POP3 and SMTP .
Hosting - I use different (major) hosting provider (not MS)
Thanks ,
K
Anyone please?
