Outlook Custom forms... extremely strange! - General Topics

I didn't know exactly where to post this so I'm doing it here, hoping that it won't get buried away unanswered.
And I did search, both this forum and the web. No love...
I have a Kaiser (ATT Tilt w/WM6 firmware) unlocked and running on Tmobile. It's activesyncing with our Exchange server.
Often I receive Outlook custom forms. They are created by someone in the office and generally no input is needed from my part. In Outlook I get the macro warning, no biggie. So I generally don't open them in my Kaiser. But a few days ago I opened one... and to my horror I saw that the body of the form was an email thread me and a few others had about putting together a ski trip in Tahoe, and of course the conversation had gotten sidetracked. Suffice it to say a rental house with a hot tub was mentioned... So I am seeing this very email in my Kaiser and the distribution list is the same one as for the Outlook forms. I freaked out for a little then I ran to my computer. Outlook displayed the form as it should. Then I ran towards the office of our Exchange admin. He couldn't give me an answer... but he assured me that if this is happening in my mobile only then I need not worry because Outlook sees it just fine. So I forgot about it.
Until today...
When I got another one... same occurrence, different content on body. This wasn't too crazy... just invitations to happy hour on a Friday at about 5 PM.
But I noticed a strange pattern.
The email containing the custom form was the latest I had received. The next email didn't come for at least 15 minutes. During this time I was looking around the body of the email and took note of the sent/received times between the different replies. I exited out of it and by mistake my fingers hit the cursor button one too many times so I ended up in the very last email stored in my Kaiser. Well... I noticed the time. It was a few minutes later than the strange one. I checked some other similar emails and the result was the same.
But not too long ago it used to not even show anything in the body of these custom form emails... just a blank one.
So it seems that when a custom form is sent from Outlook, either/or can happen. A blank email body or the body of the last email listed in your Pocket Outlook.
Ideally of course I'd like it to show the custom forms... but that's not going to happen.
I guess what I'm looking for is people to tell me they've seen this before and I'm not crazy

Notifications for emails in folders other than the inbox.

I've been looking around for some type of software (since WM5 and WM6 don't seem to have the ability built in) that will let me know when I've gotten an email in a folder other than my inbox.
All of the people in my office have separate folders, and all of their email is sorted into their respective boxes automatically in a server-side rule. I'd always have to manually check those folders in windows mobile (I've got an 8125 running XDA Mobile 6 r4) every time I looked at my phone.
While searching around I found a software package called watchflag (www.watchflag.com or m.watchflag.com for the direct download). It didn't have this option at first, but I asked their support about it and they actually wrote it into the code! It'll play different notifications depending on who it's from or what the subject line is, and it checks all folders, including subfolders (just be sure to follow all of their directions!). So if you've been looking for something to alert you on new email in subfolders (the boss [or the wife] emailing you and you have a separate folder for them), this software will work great.
Just wanted to spread the word as I looked high and low and haven't found anything else that does this out there!
thanks for the post, nice ap. probably shouldnt put your email in plain site like that[username]
I've been waiting a long time for this! Thanks!
Looks interesting. I'm looking for something subtley different - I use FlexMail to access a private IMAP account and I'd love to find something which hooks the standard notification process, so, for instance, my HTC Home new mail count will increment for mail received in Flexmail/IMAP. (At the moment I have Outlook mirroring the IMAP account and checking for mail every 5 minutes to flag new arrivals, but that's wasteful of resources...)
Does anyone know of something that allows you to hook the standard notification procedures for custom events?

I don't want to receive emails out of office hour and weekends

Hello all
Can any one help me. I've been given an office work WM6.1 mobile (touch pro 2) and it bugs me that I can't stop receiving spam emails at early hour of the morning. My business isn't larger enough to have an Exchange server which I know would be able to solve the problems.
Does anyone know of a app that I can use to choose when I pull for email, so I can set it just to work 9 to 5 / monday to friday?
Or if i've totally missed this option some where on my device... lol
Thanks again in advance.

Sorry, not sure if this helps but it's a IMAP emails system that works through a Kerio client.
Thanks again in advance
Kugliim
Not sure it will do what you want as it is a 3rd party service looking at your mail file and redirecting to your PPC but it might be worth a shot - Seven beta. That certainly has the option to define nights and weekends so that no mail is delivered.
You should be able to use the schedule function built into active sync to change this. I have mine set to instant (as its exchange) during 8am to 10pm and manual after that.
I don't have an IMAP/POP account but I can't see any reason why you should not be able to do that.....
(It should be in Active Sync-> Schedule)

Pocketoutlook it self has no sheduler( when to start when to stop) for POP/IMAP build in. But there is a freeware http://gudensoft.com/ that you can download. I could not find th link but there was thread in development section about that software.
Furthermore..If your company allow it.. have you consider using Gmail pushmail (FREE) ..Gmai has the best spam filter
thanks for this.
I have my own personal email on gmail (which is great) however we now have our own hosted email at work. Someone in the office had a virus which must have sent out their address list and all i get is penis enlargement and watch emails.
I've set up a rule to delete ones with certain words but some get through. I had 34 spam emails last night from the time a fell asleep to waking up.
Will try out this links... thanks again
Nice one Bulldog. I had my first pleasants night sleep last night.

[Q] What is up with Yahoo Email??

I have had problems, but not til recently, but i heard a month or so there were some.
I waited, until a friend (with Verizon) (I am with Tmo) told me she called in, they said that there was in fact a Yahoo problem, they fixed it over the phone by giving some new server settings?
FOR ME, I expected the same...I called Tmo, to get to Tech support was horrific. They then had me goto Yahoo Mobile, download an email App
Once done, I had a new icon, simply a Mail (yahoo) icon INSTEAD of an Email icon to use. I could pick which one???
1. Does this make sense? Was Verizon right, are there some server settings, changes I need to make (symptoms, you may ask: waiting, NOT 5 minutes, but sometimes an hour, sometimes NO messages. Some were from the forums)
So do I need to enter some setting changes OR use the new icon OR use whatever icon I want, downloading the app itself fixed it??
2. Within that application, can someone explain a few things??
a) What is "contact email" -- is it email directly in the inbox from contacts only, and if there was one from Joe Smith, not a contact, it would not list it?
b) What is the Picture Email?? whoooahh LOL this could get me in trouble. I saw emails pop up from a year ago I sent. Some were ones I sent / some were ones I received. But where did they come from. How do I get better hold on these.
Am I the only one in the world who ever got the shock of his life using Yahoo or an app like this. Thank God I caught it.
Thanks for listening.. I can't always express it easily. I am not a great writer. So forgive me.

how can someone be reading my text messages?

i recently discovered someone has been having access to my text messages on their desktop. they know who i chatted with and what was discussed. i am on the sprint network. does anyone know how this is possible? is there something i should look for on my phone that would show a program running on it? would a hard reset resolve this issue?
Does your phone sync with Microsoft MyPhone?
The only ways I know of that would make this possible are that your phone is syncing with activesync on their computer,or its syncing with an exchange server that they have access to.
hi there are a few apps that "forward SMS's" depends on which phone you have... windows mobile have them called "sms spy" or something close to that plus "sms forwarder"... good luck android have a few too cant think of any off the top of my head. lil research goes along way -ttyl
All your text messages go through Sprint. If your buddy has an unethical connection at Sprint then he could get access that way. Contact Sprint and let them know; if being run through an employee then you might be able to get someone fired.
Ick
I would try reflashing a stock rom (in case there is malware)
Change your MyPhone password for before resyching (in case they're seeing texts there)
Avoid using WiFi in any are he is locating. (in case something is being caught in network traffic)
Run without extra apps (to rule out a rogue app)
See if you can text without him noticing.
Good luck
I highly doubt they are accessing your messages through sprint.
Reflash a nice new ROM from this site, eliminating the installed 'spy program'.
Change passwords to everything.
Wifi should be fine to use, regardless, if it is SMS it doesn't enter the wifi network, and as far as I know winmo doesn't use NetBios.
Only install apps from this site, trusted websites and the marketplace. Nothing he/she can change or edit or made.
You will be fine after this.
2 easy ways i know of....
1. if you sync to a server like say your work or personal email account, unless you SPECIFICALLY SET IT NOT TO it sync's EVERYTHING! calls, text msgs, contact list EVERYTHING!
2. if i were to get ahold of your esn and mdn/msid and cloned a phone to your account i would get txt sent to you as well
there is other ways but that is the easiest 2 ways, hope that help bro
cheers,
disco
I would be choking some peole out
Yea... first thing's first whoever is snooping on your ish... fire them, cut that nosy bastard out of your life, you're better off without them. If you're a kid and it's your parents, then none of this applies. Everyone's advice before hand, take it and change any other passwords to anything else they could have even .00001% chance of accessing.
I don't know the exact names but there are services available for insecure scumbags who'se lives are so sad they have to go snooping around like that. If you can gather proof of an information breach you can then press charges on them. Read a story a few weeks ago about someone who "broke" into his wife's gf's email and found out she was fkn around on him, he's now facing years in the slammer for it.
Even creepier than that is the echelon system... look it up

[Q] Remove/block INCOMING email signature?

Samsung Galaxy SIII (I9300), Stock ROM, O2 network, default messaging app
New phone, old problem:
My girlfriend will send me several emails from her work address each week and it means also getting the long signature from her workplace at the bottom of each one (including a couple of long hyperlinks). This makes finding the important part (her messages!) an annoying process of scrolling. On a PC, that's not much of an issue (though the signature - which includes lengthy disclaimers and so on - still takes up almost half the average email length).
I wonder then, is it possible to either block signatures from being downloaded (preferably on a sender by sender basis) or at least remove them after the email has been downloaded to the phone? Perhaps the email app (or any email app) can't differentiate between the message and the signature, in which case the former of those isn't going to be possible.
Incidentally, I don't want to root the phone, at least not in the next 12 months until its guarantee runs out.
So, is there an app (whether email client or add-on) which can do this (preferably free!) or am I stuck with lots of scrolling? And no, I can't get her to manually remove the signature at her end!
(Posted in general Q&A as I can't see this being a particularly Samsung-related issue)
Not gonna happen

I fully understand your issue and I understand that it is very annoying, but I'm afraid that I have to disappoint you.
The sender writes the email and because the signature is part of the mail, it can't be removed I think.(it would be just like removing hello..., dear...).
I looked around the internet to check but I couldn't find a solution. Maybe she can sent you emails with another e-mail address?
If I'm wrong, then somebody please correct me. So sorry, not gonna happen.
Hope you still find a solution

Thanks, that's what I pretty much figured. I'm guessing the only way a program could know what part of a message is the signature would be if it had direct access to the sender's email program (e.g. Outlook) and that's not going to happen. Unfortunately, sending from a different client isn't a practical option due to her work's security policy.
Oh well, unless someone comes up with a miracle solution, scrolling endlessly it is then!
