when i delete messages inside pocket outlook they also get erased on the server (in the web application), this is quite annoying because i get a lot of emails and dont want them all on my phone so i delete some of them, but then i might need them again because they contain order reference numbers or sth. similar. any possibility to keep them on the server?

Ok i currently use a verizon xv6800,
And have activesync set up to sync with my exchange 2003 server.
It works great, my one only question is, is there anyways, that anybody knows, to be able to Permanently delete messages from my inbox (Like doing a Shift+Delete) on my desktop. When i delete on my WM device it moves the message into the deleted items, theres gotta be a way to permanently delete a message from the mobile device.. please tell me theres a way
thanks
fred
unfortunately emails go to trash when you delete them.. you can't avoid it using standard measures.. if there's an app for it I'm not familiar with... you might be able to find it if you searched hard enough thru the forum.
worst case, you can request a developer here to build one.. i don't think it should be too complicated
Hey all,
I understand that when setting up your email you can chose that when you delete emails it either deletes them off the server or just off the device.. what im wondering is.. is there a way that we can have it similar to the blackberry? like when you select to delete an email it gives you an option of deleting it off your handheld and mailbox or just your handheld.
That way for junk emails that you want deleted straight away you can just totally delete them so they dont show up on your pc aswell without always having to go in a changing the settings?
Is this possible at all?
Thank you!
i moved from windows mobile to android just about a month ago, and to be honest android is substantially better in every way possible, been loving it
now the only thing that has really bothered me is that the default email app from android is a piece of crap... unless you use gmail of course because gmail only has labels and it flushes all your email to a single folder.
i use hotmail and i receive many emails so i do need to use the folders, and i have to have them organized as such in my phone. windows mobile used arcsoft to organize the folders, and it worked great, but i haven't found a similar alternative on android or the market, does anyone know of one?
i even have an iTouch and there is an application in the iOS market that will arrange your emails into folders like they are found in my e-mail...
any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys!

Android email does use folders. It is up to the email provider to provide the folders by the protocols they use. To get folders you must use IMAP email protocol. I believe most have it but I do know hotmail does not have it. They used to when you paid for the yearly service but they no longer support it. You can only do hotmail by POP.
Oh forgot to add when you are in your email if you go to menu it will have the folders option to select

QFT.................
i have used it. K9 also flushes all my email into a single folder, there is no way of selecting other folders...
why is there no such app? it's such a simple task.

k9 does it, just not by default, you gotta mess with the settings...i dont have it installed right now but you need to change some folder view to none in account settings....it will be on inbox by default. when you change it to none all your imap folders will show up.
sorry i dont know the exact setting
K9 definitely does ALL my gmail folders and my other imap folders as well. you have to learn their folder structure and then its easy. There is a tutorial on their site i think. Its called folder classes, you chose what class to designate the folder, and then you chose general class display and sync settings.
What does QFT mean? edit> QUOTED FOR TRUTH ...nice thats a new one to me! lol
gmail doesn't have folders...
and what do you mean by class? will it filter all messages and put them on a folder due to keywords or something like that?
gmail has labels = folders
download k9 mail and explore its display/sync structure and itll make sense. If you want to filter by keyword then you need to set that up in gmail, not your mail client on the phone.
For example, I have a filter that filters everything with the word craigslist in it and puts it in a label called Craigslist. Then on the phone, if I see that folder/label in k9.
Not to sound rude, but ditch hotmail. its a terrible email service. The whole point of android is to embrace google/gmail!
gmail's labels -do not- = folders
why? because labels filter email's by keywords.
on email clients that support folders, you can grab a bunch of different emails from many different places and put them into one folder because they have a common trait for you that a single keyword could not narrow down.
also if you have folders you can forward all mail from a certain domain to that folder...
anyways the list goes on. i knew someone would say that, if i could replace my hotmail with a gmail i would, but for reasons beyond this thread that is not an intelligent thing to do for me, i have a lot of business, and accounts linked to that email, and that is impossible.
i also have 2 separate gmail accounts that i use for other things. i know gmail is better as far as speed, but defenetly not for organization. teens might be ok with labels, but professional people need folders. and anyways hotmail is no longer a slow email client like it was 4 years ago, it's actually very fast now.
ok so now back to k-9... ok so you're saying that k9 doesn't actually have the ability to create folders?? because you just said that i have to set up the labels on my gmail?? so then that means i can't create folders?
wow... if only microsoft wheren't such sour grapes, they should create a windows mobile app for droid...

No, not JUST by keywords, they can filter by recipient, sender, keyword, subject, message, with/without attachment or even lack of words

And in gmail you can check off which ever item you want from ANYWHERE and press move to> label "x" how is that any different than dragging items in outlook into a folder?

I do this with 2 of my private domains., because you can filter my recipient, or sender. My private domains have their own labels within gmail.
Not to sound like a mean guy, but I am not a teenager. I have 2 businesses that I run/live off of email and if I can make the switch from outlook to Gmail, I have no idea what great argument you can provide that would be valid. EVERYTHING outlook did, gmail does, albeit slightly differently...
my argument is that i need to use THAT email account and no other, like i said, if that was an option i would've switched 5 years ago, so stop arguing BS.
i need a sort of hotmail imap support app, or something... because i read that imap will preconfigure your folders for your email client app.

Could anyone please clarify when I synchronize with my google account which one of these two things happen?
A. The details of my contacts on the phone are written on the server and old entries which I deleted on the phone are deleted from the server
B. The details of the contacts from the server are written on the phone and if I deleted something from the phone and it is still present on the server, it will be written on the phone again.
I am finding myself that sometimes one or the other happens.
Is there a way to fix the direction of the syncronization? e.g. always phone to server or vice versa.
Thanks a lot
i think the synchronisation between the server and your device is based on which has the newest contact information. also sometimes a server does a backup for a certain time if you delete a contact just in case if you want to have this one again.
It's a good question. I would hope, as mentioned above, that it would take the most recent change as the one to store.
Long time WM user, fairly new WP7.5 user.
Love the platform and for the most part, don't miss WM at all.
Except, I used to be able to attach files to my emails like MP3 and Wav files but I have yet to see a way to do that under WP7.5.
I have searched and scrolled through this section to see if I could find something however nothing really addressed the question. Based on some of the threads I read, it looks like this cannot be done.
Can it? Does anyone know if it is coming out in a relase fix?
Thanks,
Rick
The EmailComposeTask class does not support attachments which is ridiculous and it's been a long time complaint. Microsoft doesn't seem to bothered by it and I haven't heard anything about them supporting it. I think it's part of their strategy to get devs to start using the cloud more.
Just noticed this wasn't the developer forum. My post is development related and doesn't really apply to question.
I agree about the cloud but you still need to be able to send a link in an expeditious way. Openning windowslive and finding the folder/file and then specifying share and sending an email is a PIA.
I do like the cloud for my contacts and other stuff since it is not taking space on my phone. I like it until I travel into the boonies of Texas and want to make a call but the contact list is not there cause there is not connection to 4G, 3G but to whatever was there before God created cell phones. Not looking forward to that day.
For most things it is done under the application. For example, in office word, you can hit share and choose the email account. Same within most apps. Zune though does not have this option. probably because your not supposed to pirate them to your friends.
Yet more prof that Windows Phone sucks and Windows Mobile still rules. What a damn shame. I tried to email someone and attach my resume but couldn't I had to go through the stupid office hub to do it, what a bunch of B.S. And they wonder why their sales suck ass.

You're not trying to imply that I would send MP3's that are illegal are you?
Just kidding.
Actually they are my own files and sometimes ring tones that I created and want to share.
As for the resume email... kind of hard to attach a file to an email when it is not located on your phone. I am liking the fact that the cloud has the files and not the phone. There just needs to be a simple way to access and send it. Like Sinister1, I would prefer to have it attached to an email that I authored like we have been doing every since email allowed attachments rather than going to the file on the cloud and sharing it with an individual.
Is there any way to extract files from our phones and store them in Dropbox or Skydrive? for example pdf files or mp3.
Office files will sync on SkyDrive, or if opened on the phone (from email or web) can be saved to SkyDrive or to the phone itself. In either case, you can then send them as attachments (but only that one file at a time) in email.
Sadly, though, that's the only way I know of to send email attachments other than pictures. Microsoft really needs to either add the API for attachments, or they need to allow Outlook Mobile to open files from the public parts of your phone.
Irony-mode: Zune (the hardware, all the way fromt he HD to the original 30GB model) allowed sending files by WiFi - a feature MS has not bothered to add to WP7 even though I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be difficult (both run on some variant of CE, both have WiFi, the HD even used a touch interface similar to the phone...). Instead, forget sending music, forget sending video, and you can barely send a Word doc!

Is there another way to extract pdfs, zips or mp3s of our phones even through data cable?
My PDF files are adding up. Whenever I open up Adobe reader, the files are pilling up. I know I can press and hold on any one of them and delete the file but some I want on my PC and this just is too funky.
@Rickgig, what phone do you have? Some WP7 devices are able to use apps that will access the phone and move/copy/transfer files.
Alternatively, don't you have other copies of those PDFs? I mean, they got onto the phone from somewhere, so wouldn't it be easier to get them from there? Then you could safely delete the unneeded ones off the phone.

I have a Titan with AT&T.
You're right... I can get them from someplace else. They are mostly menu's from restaurants but then they are business documents too. I have since learned to upload them from my PC to Skydrive and access them there.
There's a work around for everything I just wanted some of the WM features to be here. Like the file that prompted me to start this thread in the first place. My son did some work on his car and took a short video of the results and MMS'd to me. I can forward it to others but that is about it. Can't save it, can't email it to myself... if I deleted the text thread, it's gone.
