Outlook Mobile Issue/Question - General Questions and Answers

No matter what I do, (ie., changing ActiveSync's email settings) I cannot get emails I have sent from my Kaiser to appear in my outbox in Outlook on My desktop. End result is when or if I ever update or have to hard-reset the phone, 'poof' - copies of cuch emails are always lost. Anyone have any ideas?

Outlook Sync Question

Hello,
When I activsync with outlook it takes forever. All the tasks run though very quickly except on the Inbox bit which has "Updating folder hierarchy" for ages.
Any ideas on how to speed this up would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
In Activesync / options - Inbox / settings there are some things you can change so that it doesn't sync the whole message or not all the messages.
You can set it to Sync just the last 7 days for example so that if you have a large quantity of old e-mails in there, it will ignore them.
you can also set it to sync the begining of each message but not the whole thing if you tend to receive big e-mails.

Outlook emails getting attached to text messages!?!?

This is really going to get me in trouble at some point, I can just tell...
More than a few times in the past few weeks, I've sent a simple SMS message, only to get a call from the recipient saying something like "Dude, what the heck was all that about?" - because after my text in the message, it has inserted text from a WORK email in my outlook account! Usually these are deleted emails no less - and by deleted I mean not even in the deleted items folder.
I've got 3 email accounts set up on my phone. Two are pop accounts that get auto checked every two hours. The one that keeps getting it's emails attached to texts is the "Outlook Email" account, which is "governed" by a program called NotifyLink, which syncs my work emails to my phone across the GPRS network. It's the only way my work will allow mail sync to my phone. It seems to always be this account that the text messages "attach" from...
I've been aware of my cemail.vol file being filled with garbage for awhile now, evidenced by the fact that it's currently 1.26M, and anytime I delete emails (even a TON of them), it does not decrease in size. And yes, I'm also emptying the deleted items folder. But, I don't want to do the fresh cemail.vol trick, becasue I don't want to lose my emails and SMS, and because the one time I DID try it (thankfully having backed up cemail.vol beforehand), it erased my MMS account entirely. I only had Outlook Email and SMS.
So, and sorry for being so long, has anybody else experienced this, or does anybody have any ideas on what's happening and how to STOP it?
Sooner or later I just know it's going to attach a sensitive email in a text to exactly the wrong person...gulp...
Please help, all suggestions/observations/thoughts welcome!!
Thanks,
Sorry, should mention it's a tornado (t-mobile SDA) - duh...

[Email] Send/Receive from touchflo3d doesn't work!!!

Hello,
I have about 4 email imap accounts and when I try to Send/Receive using the Touchflo3d interface, there's no way my touch pro is able to receive emails. Only when I go to the inbox that I 'm able to get the emails...
Does anyone suffer from the same problem??
By the way, when I try to send/receive emails from every account, I always receive an error saying "Messages cannot be downloaded to your device. Make sure your connected and that your email account settings are corrected. Then, try to download messages again". I get the majority of the emails on the account but some are not received. I have to try a 2nd time and usually I get the rest. I had the same behavior on my Qtek S200 with WM6.1. Anyone else?

[PATCH] Sending email problem is HISTORY!

short description of the problem:
sending of emails would fail whilst you could receive emails.
I had the same problem. It can work normally for weeks and suddenly stop and again eventually start working again....
Applying this patch will fix this. I tested it and it works
Overview from microsoft.com
Overview
This behavior is associated with a feature that was introduced in Windows Mobile 6.1. It provides a way for users to send e-mail through an alternate outbound e-mail server provided by their mobile operator in the event that the default outbound e-mail server becomes inaccessible.
The problem occurs if a mobile operator doesn't use this feature, and therefore doesn't supply a value for the alternate SMTP address. When the mobile device fails on any attempt to connect to the e-mail provider's default SMTP server, Windows Mobile 6.1 automatically loads the value for the alternate SMTP server—which in this case is blank. The e-mail account configuration details are then corrupted, which results in loss of the ability to send e-mail with that particular e-mail account.
With this fix, the feature is patched to ensure that Windows Mobile 6.1 takes appropriate action when it detects a blank value for the Alternate SMTP server.
Note: After you apply this hot fix to your mobile device, the messages that have been sitting in the Outbox folder of your affected POP and IMAP e-mail account(s) will be sent. Since these messages could be out of date, you might not want to send them now. You can keep these messages from being sent by navigating to the Outbox folder of these accounts, and then either delete them, or move them to another folder. On Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional devices, you can access account folders by tapping the folder drop-down located in the upper left portion of the message list. On Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard devices, you can access account folders by pressing the Menu soft key, and then selecting Folders.

Everytime I tried to install it using the cab file, the Touch Pro will soft reset. Anyone encounter this?

Mine did the exact same thing after I was prompted if I wanted to run it.
Go check your add/remove programs and see if the KB is listed there; on mine it was after the first reboot. Maybe the installation only takes a second and soft resets right away?
i think it was intended to do this..
microsoft always wants you to reboot your device/pc after updating..
my also soft-reset but afterwards the problem was gone
I tried to install the CAB file, but I get this error.
This update cannot be installed on this version of Windows Mobile. Current: 6.1 AKU 1.5.0.0 Build 20273 Platform 2
Anyone knows what the problem is? Thanks!
Anyone actually have this work? I've been having this problem since day one... I hard reset today and installed the hotfix immediately and it still happens. 1st email using imap on gmail will go through, the next will fail and that's the end of it. I have to delete the account and re-create to get one more email through before it starts failing again.
I have already tried this patch and still cannot send email, the error says something about making sure my user information is correct and try again.
I am thinking that it is my email client (AKO..military) that will not allow sending from imap/pop in order to keep tabs on security.

I am also facing the same issue. did u get it resolved?
Make sure your carrier doesnt have a different SMTP setting for mobile phones. Some do some dont.
I have this issue on my laptop, when i tried to send from my home internet i can not use and SMTP for a specific account, but at work I can. When we investigated it, we found that our work internet connection allows various SMTP's all on the same service, but on our home we could only use the home SMTP. BOth internet connections are on the same ISP it was jsut a setting they have for work and home connections that we had to work around. It might have some of the same issues on mobiles.
Did anyone managed to get it resolved? I have this patch installed but still cannot send email. There is no SMTP problem, I just can't send it :/
The only way I've ever been able to resolve it is to delete the account, and then created it again.
I've had the same problem.
I tried the microsoft patch AND it didn't work!
I can receive email but cannot send it.
When we changed our ISP at work from Orange to TalkTalk we couldn't send anymore using our Orange SMTP, apparently, when you send email, you can only send through your Internet Access Provider's outbound (SMTP) mail server.
So I tried the same with my v1615
Instead of using smtp.talktalkbusiness.net, I changed it to send.vodafone.net (I'm on vodafone obviously) and it works! (so far)
Possibly, you may be able to find your networks smtp?

VZW TP2 Exchange Sync Issues

I have VZW TP2 and I use an exchange server to sync my email, contacts, calendars and tasks across my mobile phone, desktop and laptop.
For some reason, on this phone, it doesn't update certain things that I've done of my desktop or laptop for a while. I even manually go into active sync and click "sync now" and it doesn't update.
For example, if I'm on my desktop or laptop and I delete a message in my inbox, it won't update on my phone until it receives another message. Even if I click "send & recieve" in Outlook on my desktop/laptop and then manually click sync on my TP2, the email won't dissapear until another message is received. Also, today I deleted a calendar appointment on my laptop (which was for today) and even after many syncs on both my laptop outlook and on my TP2 via active sync/send recieve etc, the appointment is still showing up on the homepage screen and in my calender.
Anyone ideas?
I am having trouble with mine syncing as well. In Activesync, I get an error saying something about the server not being able to be reached. It may be an intermittent connection problem. It was working fine up until a few days ago. Also, make sure in your Schedule in Activesync is set to 'As Items Arrive'.
I had a problem with syncing then realized from some dumb reason the default option on off hours was manual sync and not "push", after making that change my issue stopped.
this is not a question of configurationi...
i have activesync set up for as items arrive in peak AND off peak. all days are checked, and for safe measure - peak time is from 12a to 11:59pm. so i'm covered there.
BUT i have the same delay issue. i can sent a test email from another email account on my deskto TO the exchange inbox on my device. i will watch it arrive almost instantly to the web portal of that same exchange inbox...but wait 10, 15, sometimes 20 minutes for the device's activesync to "wake up" and decide to sync on its own to retrieve that test message.
totally ridiculous.
yes, it is "push", but it's CLEARLY not instand (or even "immediate") push. certainly not comparable to a blackberry (which i despise and refuse to use).
so far, htc, verizon, and my hosted exchange company have been unable to offer a solution. i'm told, "a 5 to 10 minute delay is totally acceptable when using activesync exchange".
that is totally UNACCEPTABLE in the professional world.
i would go back to using goodlink (as i did with my old xv6800, befoe upgrading to the tp2), but it doesn't work well with touchflo 3d. and to be honest, what's the sense of using the tp2 if you can't enjoy the the new interface?
anyone have any suggestions? can this be fixed??????
The delay in syncing emails getting deleted is common. I don't know this for sure, but I'm pretty sure I read that receiving a new email is the trigger to sync all changes in the mail folders.
As far as it taking 10 - 20 minutes to get new mail, that does not seem normal. I get new mail on my TP2 before they show up in my inbox on my desk and I have on all the "direct push" phones that I've had. Are there other users on your Exchange server you can compare to? That way you'd know if it were just you or the server.
here's a solution!
after speaking with trusted friends and valued forum members (thanks guys for your input), i've decided to ditch "the message center" (the aforementioned exchange hosting company that gave me that "acceptable email delivery" crap). i opened a newa account with another company that advertises IMMEDIATE email delivery via activesync. wish me luck!
I've been syncing mine with an Exchange 2007 Environment that I setup personally and I have had no problems with my Touch Pro 2. Everything has synced just fine. Make sure you double check all of your settings on your phone and if need be on the Exchange Server itself.
my company uses exchangemymail.com for our email hosting. We have a ton of mailboxes using all sorts of devices. blackberry, wm, iphones. I use tp2 via echange active sync. I get emails near instant. calendar updates are near instant. deleted items needs a new email to trigger syncing as I believe that is the way it just works.
