Hey all,
Stop me if you've heard this one
some of the new roms are downloading my sent items from gmail into my inbox. I've never had this issue with any of the 6.0 roms. Anyone seen this or know how to fix it? I've always used pop because I dont like imap and have never seen this before.
I am currently using 3.14.DK.01 UC 2.0 Compliant WM6.1 Lite ROM, but I have also seen this on the UDK 6.1 rom as well

The "fix" for this is to put in a fake email address right from the start. Let it fail the setup and then just edit the account after to what you need. Just an fyi though, this "fix" doesn't always seem to work. For receiving it is always fine but sometimes it doesn't send properly at all. There are other threads about this but I didn't bother to bookmark them. Another supposed fix is to put imap.gmail.com instead of smtp.gmail.com in the settings...I haven't tried this one.
same here
that isn't what he meant. gmail is working fine. all messages download perfect no problems there. but whenever a message is sent it saves a copy of it in the inbox. does anybody know how to make this stop?
I've tried the fake email and then manually configuring it, it didnt work on any of the other roms, I will try this tomorrow on this one. As far as the imap, I dont want to use IMAP, I like the way pop used to work. I mean if I have to I will but I want to try to get this to work the way it used to first.
This is the default behavior for gmail, it does the same thing if you use a POP email client like outlook or thunderbird from your desktop. I have never seen a real fix for it, on my desktop i used to create a rule that would move messages that were from me to my sent items folder. The only way I have been able to fix it on windows mobile was to set up gmail as imap.
yeah this is because gmail uses a thread type of system. As chambersaj said this happens on desktops too, as well WM 5.0 to 6.1 (all that I have used)
OK So on the rom I am using now, I entered a fake e-mail address to prevent it from auto-configuring, and now it works the way it used to. I know it does that for the outlook client, and thats fine, but it never used to do this on wm6, maybe it was just the luck of the draw for the roms I used.

Hey everyone...
Just wondering if anyone had come up with a Gmail Notifier type program (or an acceptable workaround) for the Today page. Specifically, I am looking for the following features:
1. Checks your Gmail account every X minutes and notifies you on the Today page if you have new unread mail.
2. Does NOT download the headers (see #3).
3. If you check/read your email on your home computer, the next time your WM/PPC device checks for new messages, it will clear the 'unread mail' alert as those messages are no longer unread.
4. Uses data connection, not SMS.
Item #3 is the biggie for me. I use multiple PCs/devices (work desktop, work laptop, home desktop, home laptop, 8525/Hermes) and therefore want to manage all my mail via my browser since it will always be consistent no matter which machine I'm using. I do NOT want to have to clear/delete headers off my mobile device after I have already read the mail using one of my PCs.
I just want a flag to show on the Today page if I have currently unread mail sitting in my Gmail box and to go away when I don't... no matter which machine checks/reads the message(s).
Even better would be if it supported multiple Gmail accounts and Gmail for Domains.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
You almost hear the crickets in the silence.
This would be a great thing if it could be accomplished. I can write something like that in Linux using PHP, and then port it to Windows, but there's no way I could get close to doing something like that for the mobile, you're prolly better off using the GMail client from gmail.com/m and just setting it to download headers only, not the body, since it's just a simplified interface to the website for the phone. I used it on my SE w810i for a while because I was out of the house for over 20 hours one day and wanted to check my mail. (GPRS/EDGE data connection for the win.)
Finally, someone has taken this project on! Egil has developed a gmail notifier for Windows Mobile. I've been using it for about a week now. Works well. It is still a work in progress.
Its nice not to have to delete the headers I was downloading via POP3.

Good news! Gmail is going to support IMAP.
So reading a message on your PocketPC will change the status to read on the server.
It will be interesting to see if using IMAP through Pocket Outlook will work any better/easier.
Just waiting for IMAP to be enabled on my account so I can compare.
IMAP doesn't need to appear on your GMail settings!

But instead of entering port numbers enter imap.gmail.com:993
cmartino, what device were you able to get poGmail running on?
Did you get a today screen plug-in to appear?
Did you install ".NET Compact Framework 2.0"?
I still like SMS for email notification because it does not drain the battery and is true push. The problem: SMS is usually not free. The solution: peekamo, the only SMS service free on both receiving and sending.
On one of my servers, I run a Perl script to check gmail via atom feeds and then send a SMS to my phone via peekamo. Works like a charm, love it.

Installed on WM 6.1 which includes .net CF 2.0. Today plugin seems to only work when run from \program files\ (tried \extendedrom\program files\ to no avail).
Nice little app - worth a look if you aren't totally enamored with pocket outlook...

that site no longer exists, any ideas where to find a good gmail notifier?
Hi Forum
While trying our diffreent WM6 rom I had several tiimes the issue that the function in the email editor, looking for the name while typing in the "to" field is sometimew working sometimes not.
During the last installation (TI2) I even checked it. It was working in the beginning, but not after I installed all email accounts.
Any idea?
I really love this function and want to use it. Don't even know if iot has a proper name.
Thanks
Roland
Hmmz that's kinda strange. So if you only setup one mailaccount than it works and keeps working? Maybe, and i'm not sure that is possible, you have to set one of the mailaccounts as your primary account. It is possible in outlook on the pc, but not sure for mobile outlook.
Hi all,
I am not sure whether I am completely right now, but I am quite sure I have never seen an entry called "PUSH" in my Outlook mail accounts list on my Vox before.
But now it is there, along with my ActiveSync account, a Windows Live account and 3 imap accounts.
I cannot access any settings nor can I delete it.
Does anybody know what it is for? And where it comes from?
Many thanks and have a lovely day

Push mail is instant mail. You get it when you connect to a exchange server.
Just another question...
Hi,
many thanks for the answer. I am aware what pushmail is.
Just I was concerned as I have for sure not set up this "PUSH" account. But now it is there.
Is it automatically created whenever I configure my exchange account for push mail? Is this the secret behind?
I was just surprised as of why this is not hidden or so, as there is no obvious use for it.
Thanks
Andi
hey guys even i have the same thing..it occured suddenly in my s710...can anyone explain me what is that clearly..
i got the same, and the strange thing is that when i configured an exchange server, that one was added as outlookmail and still there is an empty push item!
???
Did you install the jb5 browser recently? This installs a WAP Push account which appears in the mail application, in the settings of this browser you can disable it and after a soft reboot the account disappears.
you are totally right my friend!
I tried to install jb5. that didnt work because I got an 'installation unsuccesful', but since then the pushmail is there.
do you know how to install/deinstall jb5 on wm6.1?
so, I cannot use the jb5 browser to delete the push mail. You know how to do it manually?
I've not been able to install it since upgrading to WM6.1, however, for me, the unsuccessful install didn't add the account to the Mail app. I have no idea how to get rid of accounts that can't be accessed apart from the obvious of a hard reset...
Solved !!!
Hi,
thank you very much. Yes, I have installed JB5 browser and this was exactly the root cause.
Now I removed it successfully and I am happy again.
Great community here, many thanks!!!

I just flashed the
OTP v7.6 Biggy with phonecanvas and I LOVE IT!
However, I am trying to setup @gmail it goes to automatic setup and finishes and it does not work. I changed where it automatically had put smtp in the incoming server and it still does not work. I cant even set it up manually.
Sam thing with my @msn email account used to setup automatically in original Wing ROM but now it only gives me a link to browse to check my email on the pocket browser (in this case Opera Mini).
Any solution?
Ok, I was able to fix the gmail problem, in case anyone else has an issue:
Just start off by pretending you dont have gmail but have gggmail like i did. in the first step if your email is
[email protected][B]gmail.com[/B] for instance just type in
[email protected][B]gggmail.com[/B]
then the stupid software will give you the option not to search for automatic setting that is screwing up the email (probably Gmail doing it on purpose since the Andriod is out).
I have not tried the msn yet but I will.
MODs please feel free to delete this thread!
Ok, Gmail is fixed.
MSN does NOT work anymore I guess from what I understand (I am not a paying member so I dont get pop3, I dont know how I was getting it before)
Yahoo however is giving away free POP3 in certain countries, and the new email address is @ymail.com, so just go to this site: http://uk.yahoo.com/ and then sign up for a new account in UK and later chnage your location to US. he POP3 is in the email section under options, pop and forwarding. Good luck!
for MSN i'm sure you could always install windows live, though that will eat up another 3mb of precious memory on the phone
Thanks!
Thanks. My Gmail kept defaulting to imap - even though I changed it back to POP on the server level and it was driving me nuts. That is a pretty stupid move on WinMobile's part to not give us the "manual" configuration option up front.

I helped a client set up a new Moto Q 9c last week using OWA synchronization. When she got to her office today and opened Outlook, none of the email came in to her Inbox. Is there a Leave mail on server option in Windows Mobile for mail coming from an Exchange Server, and if so, where would I find it?
Thanks,
Cathy
to my knowledge, it should be kept on the server anyway.. just like regular poutlook
she's getting all mail to her ppc and then it gets deleted from the server?
That's what I assumed would happen. If she leaves her desktop Outlook open, they come in there. Haven't heard back whether they're also coming into the PDA, but assuming so.

Hi Cathy, thats wierd, i use exchange email regularly and never had that problem. Did she accidentally delete the messages on her device and synced(which would explain the empty inbox)?
I use original 6.1 wwe rom and there is no option like that, im not that familiar with the Q9c, is that 6.1 too? WHen she is getting used to it, it might be safer to manually sync on her device instead of when items arrive, that way they are safe on the server, but does kind of defeat the point i guess lol.
I installed ActiveSync on her computer yesterday, synchronized with the Q, and after a couple of hours she said everything appeared to be working properly. Fingers crossed! Thanks for your response.
