If I send an email from pocket outlook it is never synchronized to the sent folder in the desktop version of outlook. Anyone have any suggestions? What a bad design! If I ever have to do a soft reset or phone upgrade (= YES at some point) then all those sent emails are lost?
Partial Solution - Sent Mail FolderSynchronization
I do not want my emails left on a server, so I use POP3. "Profimail", a third party PPC prorgram - is the one I use. It is the only one I can find which allows automated BCC copies to be sent that are not listed on each email - and copies are automatically sent to a different email account I use for this purpose. I also have profimail set up to hide emails sent to that addres in it's sent folder that have been sent to that BCC addres..I have outlok set to receive emails from that BCC address as we'll, but with a rule to automaticaly move any emails sent to that addresss automatically moved to the sent folder in outlook. This works perfectly except for one gap left... showing all the emails sent from the desktop only - on the pocket PC. Any ideas?

I was trying the mail2web OWA service but I found the email I sent from Pocket Outlook account would NOT be retained. I checked the Sent Box and nothing inside. But the email was sent out successfully though. Any advice please?
Just sync again, and your email must appear in your sent box.
from manage folders menu did you selected the send box to sync with other folders...
I have my 8125 sync'd up w/ my exchange server at work with direct push. The only mail I can "see" on my PDA is in the Inbox folder. Once I move it to another folder it dissapears on the phone.. but it does actually get moved where I tell it too... same with sending mail, it sends it fine.. but once its in the sent items folder I can't see it unless I'm using OWA or Outlook on an actual machine.
Probably set this way by default to save space?
... what sajib said should allow you to see mail in other folders...
Sorry about the somewhat-late reply.
My Sent folder doesn't sync, as well. When a message is sent from the device, it'll briefly appear in the Outbox then disappear completely.
It used to work correctly. I could send an email from my PC and within seconds have it appear on the device. Now it doesn't. I did restore from a backup since it was first setup, and that could be the problem.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No I did not, until I got the reply from 4smartphone support
Now it works flawlessly !!
is this a general problem? i've read the MS article on it, and have done "manage folders...ticked box by sent items" etc, but it still doesn't save the contents in the sent items folder.
anyone got the same problems or seen a fix?
ric
workaround!
The trick or workaround I have discovered is to set up a new mail rule in outlook:
Tools->Rules & alerts->New rule->Start from blank rule->check messages after sending. Now select "through the specified account" and select your imap account. Now select "move a copy to the specified folder" and select your imap sent items folder.
This works but you still have a copy in your old sent items in your personal folder.
HTH, Shaun
I don't have rules and alerts on my tools menu
IMAP sent mails should be saved by the server. If you are using a compatible server, then, it will work. See my IMAP Bible at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1247&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 for more info.
@100thMonkey sorry, you have got to do this in outlook on the pc. If sending email from PPC then it will be sent using your operators smtp server. Using the above workaround you can still view sent emails from your pc on your ppc.
Further to my last thread (this is a separate issue so i thought i'd make a separate thread)....
How does Hotmail syncing work on Windows Mobile? i'm mostly asking about the sent items.
When i send an e-mail from my phone, it's saved into my sent items folder, which is then synced with the Hotmail 'server' so i can view that sent item regardless of where i log on....
But when i delete my sent items from Hotmail (via my PC etc) the sent items don't sync, and i'm left with loads of sent items on my phone (if i forget to delete them regularly).
Initially i thought it was because syncing wasn't enabled... but it must be if they're appearing on the hotmail server.... !?
if anyone can shed some light (maybe i'm just being dumb!) i'd appreciate it!
Thanks!
(I've just got a Kaiser, running WM6 and i notice that i've had to manually go into 'folder management' to enable syncing for sent items... so i'm wondering if it works differently on WM6!?)
i have set up up gmail as pop and imap on my tytn ii (wm6) using settings off google site. i can send emails and download received emails but nothing shows in 'sent items' on either account.
also, the imap account has set up sub folders for all my labels but only folder that has anything in in the inbox. anbody help
...
I believe it start out syncing the Gmail account with the phone "as of" the time in which you turned on IMAP. Don't bother with POP, sorry for the language, but it sucks. Give that a try, send some emails today and see if they store in the sent folder.
Cheers,
Paul
thanks paul, did some tests,
imap nothing appears in sent mail on pda but does go to sent folder online on my pc and also to pop3 account inbox on pda
pop3 does save email into sent folder when sent from pda but not when sent from online. i will keep pop3 account on pda and delete imap for now.
Hi,
This would be my first question and I hope I can make it as clear as I can.
Assume that you created 2 emails accounts in your PDA:
1. [email protected]
2. [email protected]
My first question is that I would like these accounts to use a common Inbox, Sent Items and Deleted Items as in MS Outlook.
My second question is that I would like to synchronize these common folders (Inbox, Sent Items and Deleted Items) with Outlook. For instance, if I sent an email through my PDA using 3G, I would like to have it synched to my Outlook. (I am using POP3 email, don't keep any emails in server and delete after downloading email)
Is there any software which fits into my needs?
