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?
I really don't need to read my personal mail as it arrives, but can't afford to miss my business messages. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanx,
Woe

I've just upgraded to a Hermes from an Alpine so I'm just getting used to WM5.
I have 3 POP3 email acounts that I have set up to download automatically headers and 2K of messages.
When I get new mail I, of course, get the notification.
If I do not read the mail either by choosing dismiss or view if there are multiple messages so I leave unread messages on the device I get a new mail notification again. I believe that this is the next time that the download is scheduled.
I've searched in the Wizard and Universal forums for notification problems but I cannot find anything about this.
So two questions
1. Is this normal on WM5 ?
2. Is it possible to stop this happening?
This is normal its just reminding you of unread messages.
Thanks, that's what I feared.
IMHO it isn't the way it should work. Even if you have it set to 10 minute download, you can receive quite a few messages in that period. You may only have time to respond to an important one because you are going to be busy for a while. At the same time you then want to know of any new mail and do notwant to keep looking at your phone every 10 minutes to see if the new mail really is new.

Take a look at phonealarm. (www.pocketmax.net)
The app provides repeating alarms for email/sms/missed/voice etc)
Works very well on universal on wm5 so should do on yours - extensive support via the forum.

Thanks Matt but I want less alerts. Seems to me that it's poutlook that raises the notification for unread emails as new email even though you have acknowledged it once.
I have searched high an low and no luck so far.
Managed to get my exchange server up and running with sp2, but have a small problem. When a new email arrives in my inbox, my jasjar will alert me of it and show on the today screen, but when it arrives in a sub folder of the inbox, no alert or showing on the today screen. Any idea if i have missed something ?
Any help would be appreciated and thanks beforehand.
No answer to this yet ?
I found a small work around. With VC 1.6 installed. It reads all incoming email, sms for you. Only thing you have to do is under the vc settings, messaging options, untick high priorty messages only.
Is there a why to stop it from reading my sms ?
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...
Hello everybody!
I think this may be something with windows and not just with my phone (because I have had the same problem on my other windows phones as well)
But I keep getting repeated email notifications of new email, when I havnt gotten any new mail.
Now It is just my regular POP3 email through comcast, that it is checking.
So any ideas on how to resolve the issue? because it can be quite a nuisance through out the day.
Thanks for your help!

p.s. let me know if I need to supply more information about my settings.
If you mark your new POP3 as read it should not notify you about it the next time it does a Send/Receive.
I needs to be marked as read or it will still think that you have a unread message.
Hi all,
I have a Kaiser/Tytn2 running Athene WM6.1 on an Orange contract.
I have a problem with seeing some SMSs the HTC Home screen reports there being 6 unread messages in my SMS inbox. However, there are not, and I mean ABSOLUTELY NOT, any unread messages anywhere that I can see (honest, have been trying things for months before coming here with a question. Am not stupid!).
I have a feeling they might be very long txt messages that got "translated" into MMS, but either way I cannot see them. I have asked Orange, and they say there is no problem at their end.
Any ideas will be very very welcome! Thanks.
Lee.
