I am running WM6 (on Hermes, if that matters). Very often the e-mail coming to me is not in Russian - Windows (1251), but in Russian - KOI8-R encoding. While Internet Explorer handles it just fine (when specified explicitly), there's no option to select it in the Inbox. How do I add it?
...Anyone?

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.
Hello,
I am a brazilian user, but my Wizard is in English language.
I am facing a serious problem with my IMAP e-mail provider:
the folders of the server are in portuguese (Lixeira, Rascunhos, etc), but my ppc folders are in english (Deleted Itens, Drafts, Sent Items).
Because of this, i am facing double folders in my e-mail: some emails (those i handle throught ppc) in the english folders, and others in the porguese folders (Those i handle throught webmail).
I checked with my mail provider, and they can´t change the folders to the english name.
So, i need to change the defaul name of the folders in my WM device.
I found that Profimail does that...
I think...
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Hello,
I have an issue with the way I use email that I've noticed in both WM5 and now WM6 (ie. no improvement!), and was wondering if anyone else has any ideas:
I use a server-side rule to move all incoming email that matches a certain filter into a separate folder (what this actually catches all emails sent to another email address which is in turn forwarded to my Exchange box), therefore I have my normal 'Inbox' another folder called 'Inbox 2'. This works very well for my needs, and indeed ActiveSync and DirectPush all work fine on my Windows Mobile device (have the 'Inbox 2' folder setup to sync).
The only problem is email notification on Windows Mobile. When I get a new email (using DirectPush) it gets pushed to my device and up pops the New Mail prompt. However, when I get a new email that automatically gets put in the 'Inbox 2' folder (server side) even though it gets pushed to my Windows Mobile device I do not get any notification. This means I find myself manually looking in this folder a few times a day to see if there are any updates.
Anyone else have a usage pattern similar? Any ideas on how to trigger a notification?
Cheers, Simon
I also use folders to categorize email, and as far as I've noticed, I do get the new email icon when a message goes into a filtered folder. What device/ROM are you using, as that may be one part of the problem/solution.

Hi - thanks for your reply!
Setup as follows:
HTC Touch, standard out-of-box ROM (WM6)
and i-Mate JAMin, standard ROM oem updated from HTC web site (WM5)
DirectPush email via Exchange 2003 Server
Server-side rule processing (ie. defined in Outlook 2007 but then stored and actioned on the server, thus rules work pre the emails hitting the client - part of the problem I think).
Any input you could offer greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Simon
After an exensive test of one (1) email, specifically created to trip my rules, it does appear that you don't get a notification. I'm now with the OP and would love it if someone knew of a reghack or modification to settings that would make these emails trigger a notification.
I'm on a HTC Wizard with mfrazz's Xda Release 3a and the same DirectPush enabled Exchange 2003 with serverside rules.
I think this is 'by design' (ie. you actually get exactly the same functionality in Outlook 2007 client on your desktop, however I've created a custom client-side rule to trigger a notification when emails are received to my filtered folders).
I too like you would ideally be looking for a reg hack (or similar) to extend the folder(s) which the built-in notification on Windows Mobile monitors.
<fingers crossed!>
Anyone know a solution for this? I do have the same issue.
So, I have a FlexMail 4 for my HTC TyTN II (actually AT&T Tilt, if that makes a difference), and I was wondering if it could be integrated with TouchFlo, TouchFlo 2d or Manila.
My issues:
1) There's no way to do TouchFlo scrolling in FlexMail. Is there a registry tweak that can fix this?
2) Currently, TouchFlo 2d still uses Pocket Outlook. Would there be a way to change it to use FlexMail?
GMail, Hotmail, Exchange, Newsgroups, and RSS all on the same Windows Mobile (WM5 and up) reader, with HTML, links, & attachments all working.
It is not a new reader- it’s qmail (qmail3) version 3.0.7. I am not an expert, and don’t have a clue as to all of the filter settings and crap that you can do with it, but I did figure out how to get all of the above working in ONE PROGRAM! Below are the workarounds and settings that I discovered.
I previously used Qusnetsoft reader for NNTP and RSS and Flexmail 4 for email. I was unhappy with the Flexmail viewer (no touch scrolling; scroll bar with stylus only) and email navigation from open mail to folders a bit of a pain. Qusnetsoft took too long to sync (nice interface though). I had used QMail3 before and liked it, but still use Hotmail and was bummed by MSN no longer supporting POP.
First… Download QMail (http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Internet-Utilities/Email/QMAIL-8837.shtml) for WM.
Then, for each account, In QMail, <Menu<Tool<Account<Add Account
GMAIL
Name=Gmail (or whatever)
Class=mail
Incoming=POP3 (or IMAP, but I’ll cover POP3 settings)
Outgoing=SMTP Then tap “OK”
In General Tab…
Incoming=pop.gmail.com
Outgoing=smtp.gmail.com

Address=your email
Reply-To=your email
In User Tab…
Username=your Gmail Login Name
Password=your GMail Password
Check Authenticate

All other Settings are fine or adjust at your discretion.
HOTMAIL
First off, if you are not living in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France, Japan, Spain, Germany, Italy, or the Netherlands (Where MSN has made POP for hotmail available again) you’ll need to change your location in Windows Live or Hotmail to reflect that you now live in one of those places. The site I used for these settings is http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/...and-smtp-support-instantly-for-all-countries/ Once this is done, the Qmail settings are as follows…
Name=Hotmail (or whatever)
Class=mail
Incoming=POP3
Outgoing=SMTP Then tap “OK”
In General Tab…
Incoming=pop3.live.com
Outgoing=smtp.live.com
Name=your name

Exchange
Not all exchange servers will work this way- your admin must have access enabled. I work for a school district and they have a web interface. Here are the QMail settings that get me in.
Name=Work (or whatever)
Class=mail
Incoming=POP3
Outgoing=SMTP Then tap “OK”

I use an HTC Kaiser (AT&T Tilt) w/cooked diamond rom 6.1 and I don’t have a data plan- I have WIFI at home @ work, so I needed something that could load everything onto my device for offline viewing when out-n-about. If you open a message then tap ok, then <Menu<Edit<Select All then tap-and-hold any off the messages, select <Mark<Mark Download, then do a Sync or Roundup again (you can find these by tapping and holding icons on the bottom toolbar) you can download full emails/news articles/etc. Hope this helps someone

I have recently upgraded my Touch HD to RTT'S Leet R5 (WM 6.5) and had to find out the hard way that the messaging client in WM 6.5 doesn't seem to support user-defined subfolders. Text messages backed up with SPB Backup can be restored on the device (well, apparently, at least - see below), however, messages located in user-defined subfolders (in inbox as well as sent items) cannot be accessed.
As for "apparently": PIM Backup does show the additional folders and the number of messages in them, however, the few text messages which still resided in the inbox and haven't been filed away prior to backup don't show up either in the WM 6.5 text messaging client. They do show up briefly in TF3D but disappear as soon as the messaging client is launched.
I'm a bit lost here. The problem doesn't seem to be just the lacking support of user-defined subfolders in the messaging client but something more - after all, why then would even the text messages NOT in subfolders disappear as well?
I'd appreciate it if someone could shed some light on this. The backup file itself is intact.
