Make Outlook send email info to phone as sms

I have looked everywhere and cant find a good solution for this. I have an unlimited text messaging plan through ATT but NOT a data plan. I would like Outlook to send me a brief text message just stating sender and subject of any email I receive. Even a small program that can monitor Outlook and then do this would work. I tried making a Rule in Outlook but it says that it cant make rules with HTTP accounts(I am using Outlook to bring in my Hotmail account). Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

Appointment sync question

You guys where so good at helping me before I was hoping you could try again!
I have been searching for the way to fix this and the best I seem to be able to come up with on here is the Moblie2web site but this doesnt do what my wife wants (or atleast for free!)
My wife had a Curve on this I would send her my calendar and updates as I fly around this vast country of ours. She would update me on when she and the kids would be home or not. Our calendars always in syn both on the laptops and the devices (me through a blackberry server from work, her by syncing to the device and just having the calendar on the device send attendees notifications) now the atendees notifications on her Fuze go into the outlook outbox and since she does email in real time not by syncing the device the invitation sits in the outbox. Is there a way to make this invitation be sent out in the mail as it was on the Curve?

Shareo
Maybe Shareo would work for you, I use it with my wife cause she doesnt sync to often but atleast it in her outlook. The company has multiple software types and for the price its not bad at all

I do not think this will help as she wants to send me the invite right away off her mobile and this will still go into her outlook outbox rather then the mail outbox on her mobile device (the one thats sends out her email from the device.) Is there a away to just my the invites go to the correct outbox?

I hope I am reading this right.
You want to send attendees notifications via the TP? The best way I think of is to set a pop email account on TP, then in Calendar options set send notifications via that pop account.
You could try blackberry connect software and use your blackberry option if you have not cancelled you blackberry data plan yet?

I did cancel and went to the 50 data plan
I dont know what TP is ;(
See I set up her email account from our ISP
email works fine
on BB she was able to open caalendar and invite me
the invite would be auto mail through ISP email setup on bb
now the invite goes into the "Outlook Outbox" found by going to the ISP inbox then going down to the Outlook section... It sounds confusing even to me!

[Q] Email App - Leave Messages On Server

i'm pretty happy with the default mail client but i can't seem to find a way to leave messages on the server - is there an option for that ?
if not, can someone suggest a decent honeycomb mail client ? i've looked at k9 but whilst it seems to have plenty of features, it is definitely designed for a phone screen ...
thanks in advance ...

The messages should stay on the server if you're using the stock mail client, I tried this out myself briefly and I still had my messages online. Also there is an option you can change to decide whether you want the client to delete messages from the server if you delete them from the 'local' copy of the Inbox, or whether you want them left on the server at all times. Or maybe your e-mail provider works a bit differently from mine...
Hope this helps.

do you have your mail setup as pop3 or imap ?

I had it setup at the time as POP3, but I then changed my mind about getting my e-mails through my TF so I removed the account without losing any e-mails.

Hi
Is there anyway to speed the time the mail is sent to the phone from the time it is received by the service provider (that is like Hotmail or POP)
i have found it takes 30mins or more sometimes for the mail to reach my phone and it has been received by hotmail.
can anyone give me some advice on how to make this time shorter.
i am running RCMix3D Runny v3.3 on my inspire 4G

Most e-mail clients allow to adjust how often it queries the e-mail servers. It sounds like your client is using the default setting of 30 minutes or something. You'll have to go into the settings and adjust the "Check for e-mail every x minutes" setting.
If you want to receive Hotmail in realtime, you'll have to use the official Hotmail app in the Market.

X2 on the hotmail app, it works great. Also I found with the stock mail app when you delete messages it won't delete them off the server, the hotmail app does it instantly

How do you have hotmail setup? I have it setup as an exchange account in the default mail app and everything works instantly (receiving messages, deleting messages (which are also deleted from server), etc). I usually have it set to only sync every 15 minutes to save battery, but when set to push it works instantly.
server address: m.hotmail.com
username: full email address
Server requires SSL

This is what I have done and it is working great. Go to your email provider (Hotmail, POP3, whatever it may be) and set it to forward all your emails to your Gmail address (you do have a Gmail address, right?). Use the Gmail app on you phone and your emails will get pushed to you instantly. You can also set your Gmail account to use your other email address for replies and forwards, so it looks like it's coming from the original address and not Gmail.

Thanks for the excellent info people i really didnot know there was a hotmail app. but it was setup for every 30 minis. i have changed it to 5 mins cause thats the lowest i saw. i also want to find out about the the download messages which is set to 200. does this mean that the phone will only download 200 messages "per day"?
1 last final question which i am curious about. i have other folders created in my hotmail such as sent and drafts etc. usual folders is it possible to sync these folders with my phone inorder that my hotmail account will be in sync with my phone.
sometimes i use my computer to send out mails as well as my phone. but i cant sync the sent folder. please bear in mind i have not installed the hotmail app.
however i will try it as soon as i am finished sending this post.
thanks again people for your kind support.

thanks for the idea i did think of that option however i get alot of mail from gmail as well as hotmail and did not want them all mixed up. i am not sure if i can create a folder for hotmail in my gmail account and just push all the mail into that folder. its something i have thought about just have not tried it cause my emails have my work in them and i cant afford to mess them up.
best regards

You can try playing around with the settings in Gmail. I know they have fileters that you can set. I haven't tried it personally but I imagine you could set it to put the emails you forward from your other accounts into specific folders.

Try out K-9 off the Android Market
You'll never turn back. Fully customizable (potentially overwhelming).

Create a filter in Gmail for your hotmail account and add a label named "hotmail", then forward to your Gmail account. Check sync "hotmail" folder in Gmail app. settings

Do you use gmail or Live mail? the the outgoing server settings in the email settings, make sure you have the mail server config correctly. I'm using K9 mail and added 2 gmail, 1 yahoo and 3 hotmail accounts to it. They all shared the same inbox so I could read them all without go into each one and check. It's very easy to config, just type email address, login information and that's it.

I do not need help configuring email accounts, I need help understanding why emails with attachements stay in my outbox folder after I hit the 'send' button.

Because you probably miss-config your outbound mail server settings.(not sending). To check the outbound server settings you need to manually config your email (exhange settings).

I don't know how I mis-configured anything because all I did was enter my email and password when I originally set it up on the tablet. I've been sending and receiving standard email fine for months, it's just that tonight was the first time I took a picture and then attached it to an outgoing email and it won't send.
In the settings menu my only option is for 'incoming server settings', Do I need to delete the account and then re-configure it manually instead of automatically?

You should reconfig the "outgoing server settings", if you still could received emails then your "incoming server settings" is OK, just use your phone and send a test email to your device, or worst come to worst delete the account and re setup.

Have you tested it with a different attachment?
What's the size of the attachment? Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo mail all refuse to send anything over 25MB. The server simply rejects the mail.
You still haven't answered which app you use.

This ^^ is critical information. I use MailDroid, and its inner workings and settings options differ cnsoderably from Gmail, K9, TouchDown (which I also use), etc. I'd assume you're using the standard GMail app, since you do not reference which app you're using.

High level zoomability.. for maximum photoreality? Hahahahaha :silly:
But(t) silly it depends on the filetype. The average photograph from my camera is 7MB as JPEG, 18MB as PNG. The RAW files are even worse, average of 30MB... each. And let's not get started on TIFF's.. those are 50MB.

The picture file is less than 1mb.
I can receive attachments. No issue there. I can even forward received emails that have attachements.
So to re-cap and clarify: I can send and receive email. I can receive attachements to email. I can forward received emails w/ attachments to others. I tried to send a <1mb photo attachment, hit 'send', and it's just sits in my outbox.

1) I asked if you could send other attachments. This means a new email with a different attachment. Not a Forward.
2) Everyone asked what mail app you use.
