I remember back when Windows Mobile was Windows CE and you could reply to a message in any inbox with whichever email address you wanted, via a drop down menu - just like in Outlook.
They removed this feature. I know you can do it with Flex Mail - but I was wonder why nobody has just modified the original windows messaging program to accomadate this - like they have modified Pocket IE...
Has someone?

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.
How come the SMS folders I have made in my Atom Exec does not show up in Outlook? All the messages in the inbox do, but the messages in the other folders.
Non of the PPC devices sync SMS. This is an M$ "feature".
SMS-synk
The Jeyo is included with the Exec, isn't it able to sync folders? Must I pay extra to get that functionality?
Oh, I didn't know about Jeyo, I just meant the built in outlook + ActiveSync don't do the job. No idea about that app.
Maybe it has a desktop component (any app that adds a sync category does) which needs installation, but I am just shooting in the dark here, sorry.
I recieved e-mail from Jeyo, they said that folder synk will be available in the 2.1 version, but they had no idea on when this version will be available.
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.

had no idea! you shouold post it in the dev hack section so other cooks can see it
I never had a problem with this (use Windows Live) but should I download it anyway?
windows live is a bit differrent but they're referrinmg to the rest of us who use the outlook email
Ok cool thanks!
yay Microsoft release KBs and cabs for windows mobile
Shouldn't this be applied if you run the Microsoft Update from within the WM6.1 device?
Hi,
I have the ATT Tilt 2/HTC Touch Pro with WM6.5 stock att rom
I can receive text messages and email fine --no issues with SMTP or POP or email connectivities whatsoever.
The issue is within the WM6.5 email app I think.
When I select NEW TXT or REPLY TXT (same with email), I no longer get the new window popup that allows me to reply or email. I can send and receive fine but cant send/reply or even OPEN AN EMAIL MESSAGE. I can download email messages fine and they are listed but tapping on a message does not launch or open the entire contents of the message.
I have tried deleting the email accounts and deleting the Attachment folders from both SD card and \windows location as well as \windows\messaging.
Anyone have any idea what I need to reinstall or tweak?
I did load WM6.1 IE on this phone versus the stock browser.. not sure if that comes into play.
Any thoughts?
Hmm.. so on a hunch, since I had installed WM6.1 Pocket IE as a cab file, I went ahead and removed it via the REMOVE PROGRAMS.
That seems to fix the trick, but alas, Im back to the IE6 Mobile version which I hate.
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO INSTALL POCKET IE (PIE) alongside IE6 Mobile that comes with WM6.5 without overwriting the 2 files together? I really hate the look/feel of IE6 Mobile and prefer the older versions of PocketIE.
I guess at this point, I have to determine which is more important:
-TXT/email functionality or IE/Web browsing (with the old version)
You could try this HKLM\Security\Internet Explorer\MSHTML change 1 to 0 and soft reset, that will take you back to old PIE
I currently use a Windows Mobile 6.5 device, and I love the SMS integration with Active Sync in combination with Exchange 2010 (new SMS will appear in the inbox, and it ist possible to write SMS in Outlook with "new item" -> "text message" - this text messages will then be synched back via AS to the device, and the device sends it).
until yesterday I thought that Windows Mobile 6.5 is the only mobile OS witch supports this function (even Windows Phone 7 doesn't support SMS integration!), but: a colleague of me flashed a new ROM (Darky 10.2.2 -> Gingerbread 2.3.4) on his Galaxy S yesterday, and: SMS-AS integration in combination with Exchange 2010 is now working with his device!!! - the first time I've seen that with an other mobile OS than Windows Mobile 6.5!
the reason for the thread here: I'm very interested in the HTC Sensation, and I think about to get one, but: SMS integration with Active Sync is important for me, so is it working with the sensation? Is this a feature of Gingerbread, or does the Galaxy have a "special messaging client" with SMS support? Has anyone seen a Sensation with working AS-SMS integration? If yes: which ROM is needed, or which "hack" is needed?

as I can see in the manual this product doesn't use Microsoft Active Sync (AS) over the air! So that's not a solution for me! AS itself does support SMS-Syncing over the air, my question is which requirements on an Android phone are necessary for SMS Syncing, and if the Sensation has all the reqirements, or how it is possible to get SMS-Syncing with the Sensation working? As I mentioned: Samsungs Galaxy S in combination with Darkys ROM does the job!
some screenshot how SMS integration looks like...
... just to be sure that it is clear what I'm speaking about!
Touchdown for Excahnge does it... sort of
Touchdown for Exchange has a checkbox "Enable SMS Sync" in settings. I use Exchange 2010, and when I activated this setting on my phone, I receive an email from the Exchagne Server:
Congratulations! After connecting your mobile device to Exchange Server 2010, you can now send text messages from Outlook 2010 and Outlook Web App on your computer. You can also receive and reply to text messages.
To start sending text messages from your computer, close and reopen Outlook 2010 or Outlook Web App.
Now you've got one more way to communicate with friends, family, and colleagues. To find out more about using Text Messaging from your Inbox, click here.
Note: If you previously set up text message notifications in Outlook Web App, they've been turned off because the Exchange ActiveSync access you set up on your phone will keep you up to date.

Now I can SEND SMS from Outlook, but I have not been able to receive on my Desktop/Outlook. For that I use Desktop Notifier or Mighty Text.
You answered to a one year old thread .
Anyway, I have a question. Can you confirm that you could't activate SMS sync without Touchdown?
