50 email limit - Windows Live Hotmail - General Topics

Hey all,
I have a HTC Touch phone through Bell and have my hotmail account setup on it to receive emails from my account. The problem I am having is that it will only allow me to see the latest 50 emails.
Does anyone know how to change this value? Is there a registry hack/setting/etc that can be changed?
I saw one "solution", which was setting up your account through outlook instead, but then there isn't push, and that's why I use it.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

There is no solution to this as far as i am aware. I am using a different client to push hotmail to my trinity and had the same issue. All i could see was the top 50 messages in my inbox, as newer ones were deleted then older ones would synch across. Checking with them it was confirmed that the 50 message limit was imposed by Microsoft.

help
i am Sooooooo frustrated.
i thought i finally found the answer to my problems in windows live.
My wm6.1 phone is SOOOOOO unreliable when i need it to download/send emails.
I set up a hotmail account and configured windows live on my phone only to find out that i can only SEE MY LATEST 50 EMAILS!!!
WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS?!?!?!?!?
They create a solution to smtp/imap/pop3 problems in windows live and then they make it unusable for ANYONE!
What other solutions are available?
I will never purchase another windows mobile phone again. Apparently this has been a problem for a long time and they have yet to address it...
ugh

Outlook-Help Please???

I am very new to the whole Palm thing but not to the computer thing. Anyway... I have had a regular cell phone for years of course but I really wanted to get my msn mail on my phone and also have a date book ect. So I got the crackberry but the only way I could get the MSN mail was to sign in to the web and go about it that way. What I was looking for was for the phone to just tell me I had a new message. I do have the paid version of MSN so I am able to check it through outlook on my laptop. Anyway... Thanks you do guys I have been able to at least get Microsoft Live onto my Trio 750 and as soon as I got it I upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.0 (thinking that might have been a mistake now). How in the world do I import all of my Outlook Express contacts from my laptop to this damn phone. Also is there anyway I can set-up outlook on the phone to check my various accounts (msn, Verizon, work)? Please please help and again I am sorry I am sure this is a neeewbe question.
Thanks again,
Glenn
Im not sure if you have already done this, but did you install and set up activesync. Activesync is a program that interfaces your treo with your laptop and there is also an option in activesync to save your contacts from outlook to you treo. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/activesync45.mspx Go there to download activesync 4.5, it is the latest one. Make sure you scroll towards the bottom of the page and click on the link that says "Worldwide English" Hope this answers you question.

Suddenly strange Outlook entry called "PUSH" ??

Hi all,
I am not sure whether I am completely right now, but I am quite sure I have never seen an entry called "PUSH" in my Outlook mail accounts list on my Vox before.
But now it is there, along with my ActiveSync account, a Windows Live account and 3 imap accounts.
I cannot access any settings nor can I delete it.
Does anybody know what it is for? And where it comes from?
Many thanks and have a lovely day
Andi

Push mail is instant mail. You get it when you connect to a exchange server.
Just another question...
Hi,
many thanks for the answer. I am aware what pushmail is.
Just I was concerned as I have for sure not set up this "PUSH" account. But now it is there.
Is it automatically created whenever I configure my exchange account for push mail? Is this the secret behind?
I was just surprised as of why this is not hidden or so, as there is no obvious use for it.
Thanks
Andi
hey guys even i have the same thing..it occured suddenly in my s710...can anyone explain me what is that clearly..
i got the same, and the strange thing is that when i configured an exchange server, that one was added as outlookmail and still there is an empty push item!
???
Did you install the jb5 browser recently? This installs a WAP Push account which appears in the mail application, in the settings of this browser you can disable it and after a soft reboot the account disappears.
you are totally right my friend!
I tried to install jb5. that didnt work because I got an 'installation unsuccesful', but since then the pushmail is there.
do you know how to install/deinstall jb5 on wm6.1?
so, I cannot use the jb5 browser to delete the push mail. You know how to do it manually?
I've not been able to install it since upgrading to WM6.1, however, for me, the unsuccessful install didn't add the account to the Mail app. I have no idea how to get rid of accounts that can't be accessed apart from the obvious of a hard reset...
Solved !!!
Hi,
thank you very much. Yes, I have installed JB5 browser and this was exactly the root cause.
Now I removed it successfully and I am happy again.
Great community here, many thanks!!!

Mail2web not working..?

Has anyone had any problems with mail2web not syncing with MW 6.1..? Mine just stopped working this morning and I logged into my mail2web account and noticed they added changes to WM 6 users as your [email protected] was changed to username_mail2web.com and with theses changes it's still not syncing. This is driving me nutz as all my contacts are synced and 12 hours without syncing makes you loose all your contacts! Did I miss something??
My Mail2Web account works fine, pushes email to my phone fine. I've tested it out several times since I've been going back and forth between different ROMs.
Do you have the LIVE account which is free or the regular one. I have the live account and as of right now, its not working. I know alot of people at treocentral.com are having the same problem with treo 800w's as I am. Funny thing is it has been working flawlessly for the past week until this morning.

I have the free account, and just sent an email to it from my work corporate account and it went to my phone in a couple of seconds.
FYI - I have MRH 8.1 ROM running WM 6.1 build 20270 on a Hermes.
ok, weird how some users its working for and some it is not. Are you using windows mobile 6.0 or 6.1..? Also, are you using the WM 5.0 setting which have worked for me on WM6 for as long as I can remember or are you using the new setting that are listed on the mail2web site..? The difference is [email protected] vs. username_mail2web.com (which is listed for WM6 users) The big difference is when you use the WM6 settings it will not let you move on until you ad a domain which is ad2 for mail2web. Anyone elce having any problems?

WM 6.1, using the username format of [email protected] with no domain specified.
hmmm, ok thx. Very strange how my account is not working. I can view it and log in on their website but it just stays stuck on the syncing process on my treo. Strange.
Its now working. I had to disable the SSL. Something must be going on with their servers with some users. Buscuit, thx for the replys.
Just checked/sync'd mine ok. Not sure if it makes any diference but i paid for exchange 2007 account so my user name is [email protected] even though its hosted by mail2web.
I am however having issues with MX and "A" records, anyone here any good with that stuff?
I just emailed them about the problem and got this reply:
"Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause.
We are aware of the issue and are working with Microsoft to fix the intermittent downtimes that are occuring. We're sorry for any inconvenience and ask that you use your OWA to check your secure mail for now or disable your SSL option on your device to try to access the account."
Been struggling with this for a day or 2 now!

Leave messages on Exchange Server

I helped a client set up a new Moto Q 9c last week using OWA synchronization. When she got to her office today and opened Outlook, none of the email came in to her Inbox. Is there a Leave mail on server option in Windows Mobile for mail coming from an Exchange Server, and if so, where would I find it?
Thanks,
Cathy
to my knowledge, it should be kept on the server anyway.. just like regular poutlook
she's getting all mail to her ppc and then it gets deleted from the server?
That's what I assumed would happen. If she leaves her desktop Outlook open, they come in there. Haven't heard back whether they're also coming into the PDA, but assuming so.

Hi Cathy, thats wierd, i use exchange email regularly and never had that problem. Did she accidentally delete the messages on her device and synced(which would explain the empty inbox)?
I use original 6.1 wwe rom and there is no option like that, im not that familiar with the Q9c, is that 6.1 too? WHen she is getting used to it, it might be safer to manually sync on her device instead of when items arrive, that way they are safe on the server, but does kind of defeat the point i guess lol.
I installed ActiveSync on her computer yesterday, synchronized with the Q, and after a couple of hours she said everything appeared to be working properly. Fingers crossed! Thanks for your response.

[Q]Lumia 820 Exchange Problem [solved]

Hey guys,
i am new here, but i've been watching this forum a long time for now on.
At this moment I have a problem with setting up an Exchange for my mail acc (university).
Setup going fine and it can be completed, but after some time (30-40min), windows asked me for password because of my
password that i typed in is wrong.
The curious things are, I can read my mails after retyping the password or when I hit the return key.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Thanks in advance
For me there is no problem, I setup my private Exchange (2010) Account and everything work well.
On WP8 with my Lumia 820, I received only a warning regarding the certificate like on other OS's and that was it.
Oh really?
I have installed the certificate from my university but i didnt change anything .
Is there a option that an administrator should do to allow WP8?
I tried to search on my Exchange (2010) for an option for WP8, but cant find one.
Microsoft said that WP8 will be supported by every Exchange Server, I found this by Google.
Which Version of Exchange Server do you have on your University?
We have Exchange 2003.
Okay, I tried Google and found that it must work.
From Windows Phone 8 Security Overview:
Windows Phone 8 is compatible with version 14.1 of the Exchange ActiveSync protocol and supports synchronizing email, calendar, task, and contact information with Exchange Server 2003 SP2 and subsequent releases or with Microsoft Office 365.
One post on XDA, but another problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912071
The only thing maybe, if you have self signed certificates at your university, you have also to install the Root-CA certificate!
And maybe is the Exchange 2003 not up to date, SP2 installed?
Thanks for your help and replies.
I don't know which SP is installed :-/
I checked the homepage of my university and i found a root CA, that i've installed on my phone.
At the Homepage I also found that Windows Phone is supported.
After round about 40min, the ask for retyping the password appears .
It's really strange.
EDIT:
I found this page: http:**social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/Forefrontedgegeneral/thread/6999b88e-ada4-45c5-ad33-55905db0f0df/#a1bacca1-40ac-4e09-af79-1178fad860b5
And finally i wrote an email to our support with this link.
EDIT 2:
I've got an email from our support, they have changed the settings (settings can be found in that link above).
Until yet it worked perfect.
Thanks for Help!
