I'm posting this here since it's more of a general WM5 question...
I'm very happy with the new ROM for my HTC Wizard, and Push Email especially.
However, in Microsofts infinite wisdom I am not alerted when new e-mail arrives in subfolder to the main Inbox (however, I am alerted when I get new email in the main inbox). I'm not very surprised since Outlook 2000/XP/2003 works the same way, but it is very annoying having unread e-mail I don't know about.
Is there a program or a ToDay-plugin or a registry setting or anything that enable alerts for new e-mail in subfolders?
*bump*
I would very much like to have this feature as well. I receive emails when servers go down, and I have an Outlook rule setup to send the email to a subfolder under my Inbox. I do not receive any notifications when I get emails in those subfolders. Did anybody ever figure out a way to get this working? I have a Cingular 8125 (HTC Wizard).
I am sorry to bring up this old thread but I have the exact same question I seach around and didn't find anything. I also seach HF and seem like no one know if notificiation for sub folder is possible.
Can someone verifiy if getting email notification for sub folders is possible? I have a 8125 running wwm6 rom.
bump up to the top - looking for the same feature.
I am looking for this same feature. I am using emoze to sync my inbox and a few subfolders. I am using a AT&T Tilt (HTC kaiser) with WM 6.
So there is still no solution to this ?
It is a "feature" of Outlook.
Desktop and Mobile versions do not notify the system that subfolders have received a message. Desktop 2003 used to do this, and then it was removed.
I don't have a workaround for the Mobile version. On the Desktop, I use search folders instead of subfolders. It sucks, but it works.
The reason subfolders don't notify, is that most subfolders are used for non-important messages (i.e. spam, or system notifications). I get over 200 emails an hour about servers being up/down. So, I get a lot of notices. However, using subfolders, I never saw anything!!!
Yes I understand the rationale behind the 'feature'. But I have important mail in the subfolders. Unfortunately at this time there seems to be nothing we can do.
I was hoping a registry entry which would let us add a subfolder path or something like that.
Voice Command Will Tell You (sometimes)
I think there must be an event that can be trapped if someone (more capable than I) can cobble together a few lines of code.
I have MS Voice Command with the JetWare bluetooth addon. On my 8125 running WM5, I would get the read-out-loud notifications for mail delivered to subfolders. I've recently upgraded to a Tilt with WM6 and this bug/feature doesn't repeat.
I think this is a feature that many "power users" would appreciate... at least as an option.
Have a look at SPB Diary. This can show your emails on the today screen...including subfolders that you choose.
Did anyone ever find a better solution to this?
I saw people asking the same question here: http://discussion.wmexperts.com/showthread.php?p=1409571

I'm sure there's loads of other places where this has been suggested. It just seems like an obvious feature to me, especially if you are promoting WM6 as a business tool.

Too many notifications...
On a related note, this question:
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?
Thanx,
Woe
This is something many people would like to have the choice and should not be that difficult to find out (registry?), but I'm not the big reg-hacker
The idea is how to set the Treo to write, show, send and receive SMS text messages with the standard pocket Outlook application of WM5.
Why?
Because I like to have emails and SMS collected within one application AND I want to sync SMS using Jeyo with my desktop Outlook.
Ideas?
hi, i always wondered, how it would be possible to save sms on my pc. with my vpa i used jeyo mobile extender, too. with the treo it doesnt work.
did you find a solution?
unfortunately not. sometimes I wonder how is it possible that only I do see such important things (from my point of view) but nobody else
Im using the Excalibur now and I am very happy with it, but still I ned to touch my Treo every evening, its just too sexy.
Device type: HTC T-Mobile Wing with WM6 Professional, CE 5.2.1235 (Built 17740.0.2.0).
I have a question about this device, it is about the calendar. Now, beside the Outlook Email that you can sync with your computer/lap top, I have of course other emails account on the WING. When I am on the go, other coworkers can send emails to my Wing. When I have to remember to do something and I am on the go all I do I create a meeting in the calendar in my lap top (different work email) and I send invite request to the email of the Wing. When I receive the email on the Wing I accept the calendar event, and that event goes directly in the calendar of the Wing. Only problem the reminder is not set to go off, and I won't go off. I tried everything and double-checked all the settings. If I create a calendar event directly in the Wing, then the reminder is set to go off by default, as you can choose in the options of the calendar. But if I receive a calendar via email, it will not get the reminder to go off, as I would expect. I must say that I had the MDA previously and it was working just fine: I used to send emails all the time to my MDA so that I would remember to do things while out of the office. Keep in mind, my laptop has the working email where I receive about 1000 emails per day: I don't sync my Wing with that email; I have a different profile/email for my Wing. I hope the explanation was clear. Please let me know what the hell is wrong. Thank you for your help.
Paul.
come on!
Is it possible that nobody found my post interesting enough to post an answer? Don't tell me that nobody has a different email on the PDA so that he can actually receive emails while on the go, instead of relying on the exchange server.... please someone help me!!
Is there a software or download patch I can find that will allow my wife's Tungsten (Palm OS) to send Calendar and contacts via bluetooth and my Polaris actually recieve it?
Every time she send me an appointment or contact, my Polaris will see it but says it cant read it...or something. I thought there was a Palm and Microsoft patch somewhere. I after a few searches on this forum, I couldnt find it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi,
I have been searching for a way to change Outlook from naming all email accounts as 'user' when sending any email?
Is there a registry hack that i can apply?
Its really frustrating not being able to alter it, when the WM6 is meant to be seamless integration, but when ever i reply or initiate any email from Pocket Outlook it always marks it as 'user' [email protected]
thanks in advance.
moved to QnA, not dev related.
anyone have the same problem?
