WM5 - Messaging - POP3 - New Mail Notifications Repeat - General Topics

I've just upgraded to a Hermes from an Alpine so I'm just getting used to WM5.
I have 3 POP3 email acounts that I have set up to download automatically headers and 2K of messages.
When I get new mail I, of course, get the notification.
If I do not read the mail either by choosing dismiss or view if there are multiple messages so I leave unread messages on the device I get a new mail notification again. I believe that this is the next time that the download is scheduled.
I've searched in the Wizard and Universal forums for notification problems but I cannot find anything about this.
So two questions
1. Is this normal on WM5 ?
2. Is it possible to stop this happening?

This is normal its just reminding you of unread messages.

Thanks, that's what I feared.
IMHO it isn't the way it should work. Even if you have it set to 10 minute download, you can receive quite a few messages in that period. You may only have time to respond to an important one because you are going to be busy for a while. At the same time you then want to know of any new mail and do notwant to keep looking at your phone every 10 minutes to see if the new mail really is new.

Take a look at phonealarm. (www.pocketmax.net)
The app provides repeating alarms for email/sms/missed/voice etc)
Works very well on universal on wm5 so should do on yours - extensive support via the forum.

Thanks Matt but I want less alerts. Seems to me that it's poutlook that raises the notification for unread emails as new email even though you have acknowledged it once.

No Sound on new emails in subfolders with pushmail

I have searched high an low and no luck so far.
Managed to get my exchange server up and running with sp2, but have a small problem. When a new email arrives in my inbox, my jasjar will alert me of it and show on the today screen, but when it arrives in a sub folder of the inbox, no alert or showing on the today screen. Any idea if i have missed something ?
Any help would be appreciated and thanks beforehand.
No answer to this yet ?
I found a small work around. With VC 1.6 installed. It reads all incoming email, sms for you. Only thing you have to do is under the vc settings, messaging options, untick high priorty messages only.
Is there a why to stop it from reading my sms ?

Limiting Email Notifications

My Hermes (AT&T 8525, WM5) alerts me when new mail arrives... that's no problem. However, If I don't stop and read it then, the next time it syncs it notifies me again about the same mail. Is there any way to set this up so that it will only sound a notification when something *NEW* comes in?
I really don't need to read my personal mail as it arrives, but can't afford to miss my business messages. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanx,
Woe

Q: Unread email notification stuck in TF3D

I have a Sprint Touch Pro and the new email notification is stuck in TF3D. It was working fine for a few days, but now it always says I have 1 unread email. I am not syncing email with activesync, just using IMAP gmail. I removed my gmail account and did a soft reset... it still shows 1 unread email. It's driving me nuts! If I actually have 1 unread email in gmail, it shows I have 2. If i have 0 unread emails, it shows I have 1. Where the heck is this setting stored? Something is obviously stuck but I can't find it. Thanks in advance.
I seem to be having this problem myself, but with the voicemail notification.
Keeps sayins I have 1 new voicemail, but when i check it, i don't have anything there.
bump. I'm sure others will experience this. 2 friends at work have the same thing happening to them as well. Anyone have any ideas?
Try clicking on All Messages... in the mobile outlook window check all your accounts (sent, inbox, drafts, etc.) and make sure there is no unread mails. I had this happen to me after I setup a new account. There is a new default mail that is created when you create a new account that I had missed.

Having the same problem with "1 New Voicemail" in TF3D and the little icon in status bar I select dismiss voicemail notification but it stays there.
: Edit Myculito are you using Phone Alarm by any chance?
I just "tap and held" on the notification on PhoneAlarm and said "Reset Count" and it seems to be gone now,

Just wanted to post my fix.
I do not have the issue with voicemail, only the new email notifications.
The steps that alexk1f described worked like a charm... just forgot to update my thread that it was solved. Thanks alexk1f!

Jules, I'm not using PhoneAlarm.
I fixed the stuck Voicemail issue. I made a call, and left 2 new voicemails to make sure that there were at least messages there.
I then checked my voicemail from the phone, and all is good now.
There is a cab to fix this. Search through the English ROMeOS thread in the ROM development forum
So the fix was for vmail but not messaging. What it looks like is that TF3D has old text messages wedged in cached somewhere - I had two text messages that kept showing up despite deletes. They finally stopped getting delivered and the inbox is clean but the image and notification persists.
Try SKTools and clear the notification queue.
I have this issue too on my Touch HD
I have cleared duplicate notifications in the queue, but I am unsure what else to clear, and the 1 mail notification is still there.
Any other ideas?
OK fixed, it seems as though that damn ghost email had been created in two places, not just in my email inbox, but also in the activesync one, which I hadn't even set-up.
Probably worth going through every single folder in messaging even if you think you know better

Try this when you go to email tab select inbox and see if you have any email in one of your inboxs I had the same problem and when i went to inbox i found an email that wasnt being accessed from the tab.
Hope it works for you
Try this
fixunreadcount:
http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&q=fixunreadcount.exe&meta=
seems if you go accounts> then hit the account that its reporting on it will clear it. Works for me anyway. RSS hub does this also... well Dont try to read while downloading i think it happens when i retreive attachments.

Repeated email notifications

Hello everybody!
I think this may be something with windows and not just with my phone (because I have had the same problem on my other windows phones as well)
But I keep getting repeated email notifications of new email, when I havnt gotten any new mail.
Now It is just my regular POP3 email through comcast, that it is checking.
So any ideas on how to resolve the issue? because it can be quite a nuisance through out the day.
Thanks for your help!
-El
p.s. let me know if I need to supply more information about my settings.
If you mark your new POP3 as read it should not notify you about it the next time it does a Send/Receive.
I needs to be marked as read or it will still think that you have a unread message.

[Q] New e-mail alert

Hello everyone,
My question is that if there is any solution / answer when someone send me an email and it doesn't alert me at the right time. In the settings of the mail option it has 4 choices (none, 5,15,30,1 hour) but it hasn't right now.
Same it seems to not sync to well, maybe the mail app is closing down now n then and only sync manually when opened I don't no but it isn't very good.
Sent from my HUAWEI MT7-TL10
Install a 3rd party email app. Cloudmagic, AquaMail, Nine, etc. Thats the only solution for it so far
I want to share my experience with that - I often, read most of the time, don't get email alert on time. The mails are there but the phone is just not ringing...I tried several 3rd party email apps and the end result is always the same. From what I observed, the only on time delivery notification is still the google mail application. For me that's bad since I have 5 email accounts that I constantly need to be alerted of - shame I have to power on the phone, unlock it and check for mail...waste of energy (phones AND mine)...
