In the Version 5.0 Windows Mobile the system comes with three main folders – MMS – TEXT – OUTLOOK E MAIL. Each one has in turn subfolders such as sent mail, inbox, deletions and so on…
I have added two folders being PERSONAL and BUSINESS through my T-Mobile carrier, again coming standard with sent mail, inbox, deletion and so on...
When synchronizing the only folder that does so is OUTLOOK E-MAIL which is not a problem in itself. However, incoming wireless mail comes in under BUSINESS and PERSONAL accounts which is not a problem since a copy is sent to the regular computer that then synchronizes with the device every now and then.
The PROBLEM: When responding to mail that came in under the wireless scenarios (I.E.: into PERSONAL and BUSINESS Folders) there is no way to capture the sent mail except leaving it on the MDA itself. I would have thought it be possible to either synchronize it or move it into a separate folder on the MDA. There is a move function but this only allows you to move items within each Folder and not to other folders.
HELP
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.
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?
I've always kept a copy of all my text messages in my desktop email archive using an Outlook plugin from Jeyo. However, after switching to Gmail, I'm really trying to avoid using Outlook altogether. That's why it would be great to have a program that automatically uploads all my text messages straight from my phone to my Gmail account. Kinda like MyPhone but with Gmail.
This is what it would do:
* Automatically copy every text message to Gmail;
* Upload messages from different folders: inbox, concepts and sent items, each to the appropriate Gmail locations.
I believe there's a program for this on the Android platform, but not on Windows Mobile.
I'm just posting this here as a suggestion, hoping a handy developer likes my idea, since I don't know how to do it myself.
Services like MyPhone and Dashwire let you do it to the cloud.
You can use Windows Mobile SMS Sync ( not Free ) / PIM Backup to back it up to your PC and manually send it to gMail.
Another alternateive ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324684 ) I think its no longer actively developed
hope this helps
Thanks for the suggestions. Some of them I hadn't seen before.
I'm already using MyPhone, which works automatically and does very well as a plain backup solution, but I'd really like to keep a complete archive of my correspondence (email and sms) in one place on Gmail.
On the other hand, I'm currently using Jeyo Mobile Companion to transfer my sms to gmail manually. The result is exactly what I want: each message is listed individually and chronologically among my emails. Unfortunately, this only works through desktop Outlook, and I'd like to avoid using my pc as a go-between.
So I'm still hoping for some new developement that will do this automatically and over the air. Such a program already exists for Android phones:
http://code.google.com/p/android-sms/
this would be nice
There's a Symbian program like this as well:

Why should Symbian and Android users have all the fun? Couldn't anyone port the Android version to Windows Mobile? It's open source...
Damn, I wish I was a developer myself.
I have been thinking about this too and I very much applaud the development of such an application too. Everything backed up to one place.
The basic idea is pretty simple, queuing a message to a specific folder on a pop3 / imap / exchange server. Restoring or syncing data from the server is more difficult, I suppose.
Sprite used to have (= not anymore) an application that continuously sent received text messages and calls as an e-mail to a specified e-mailaddress. Unfortunately, however, it was unable to restore from it.
Also, backing up messages for the first time will pose problems. Most e-mail services are capped at a maximum amount of messages per day (e.g. 1000 receive / send)
If you have an Exchange server, version 2010 wil have sms synchronisation features in it.
Cheers
Sprite Archie actually looks pretty good! I had no idea this ever existed. Too bad it's gone.
Seems like it simply forwarded text messages (and call logs) to a specified e-mail address. Ideally, I think a program could copy the messages directly to a specific e-mail folder via IMAP, right?
I see how restoring would be a problem, but I wouldn't really use this as a backup method anyway. I already have MyPhone and Sprite Backup for that.
To me, the main purpose would be archiving. Gmail just seems a natural place to store your text messages along with your e-mails: it gives you a complete overview of all your written correspondence.
Glad to see some enthousiasm for this idea!
This would be a good program, so Im putting my hand up for it as well....
(Hope that if this is done it would be compatible with the android way of doing it, thus allowing you to move texts from one platform to the other)
I've added this as a sugestion to Nuevasync as well, being that the activesync platform does allow for selecting SMS as an option to sync.
probably not what your looking for but i have my phone setup to sync my contacts and calendar through google and i run a program called phone log which puts the text message i reciever in my calendar as an event but through i would through it out there i would be interested in a program that did this though
I second this idea, it's works a treat on my Hero and I'd love to have to my sms's pushed to my SMS label in gmail on my HD2
I've actually found a copy of Sprite Archie (mentioned higher) and it works perfectly fine... At least, it did until I bought an HD2. There, it doesn't detect incoming messages. So no luck...

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
