Hi,
I've set up a Gmail POP3 mail account on my Alpine phone and it works great. The only thing is, that my Outlook at home is also configured to download mail from Gmail under POP3.
This creates the funny situation where I have Outlook Mail and POP3 on my phone (two different "mailboxes") that contain the same data (depending if I synced with my PC or retrieved directly from GMail).
Is it possible to unite the two?
Thanks,
Yoni
Here are the symptoms...
1) Send email to my email server
2) Access mail server Inbox with webmail - new mail is there
3) Do send receive on PPC to download headers with POP3
4) There is my new mail in PPC Inbox
5) Refesh on webmail, mail also still there
6) Delete email from PPC Inbox
7) Do send receive on PPC
8) No email in PPC Inbox, mail now in Deleted items
9) Refesh on webmail, mail is still there
A) Empty Trash on PPC, Inbox empty, Deleted items empty
B) Refesh on webmail, mail still there
C) Do send receive on PPC
D) PPC, Inbox empty, Deleted items empty
E) Refesh on webmail, MAIL GONE!!!
I expected:
D) Mail re-appears in PPC Inbox
E) Refesh on webmail, mail still there
Happens with both WM2003SE and WM5, I think its got something to do with the configuration of my mail server as this didnt used to happen (recently switched from Microsoft to Linux/Horde server).
If I change the mail protocol from POP3 to IMAP4 it works as I expected it would, so I guess the Linux/Horde mail server presumes the POP3 access coming from the trashed PPC should trigger a mail flush, where as IMAP4 is presumed to be a header access again. Guess there is some logic difference between MS mail server and Linux.
Any ideas/explanations greatly appreciated?
That's how it's supposed to work.
It sounds as though you had Exchange set to ignore deletes from mobile devices.

Thanks for that, if thats the case then I am surprised the email didnt disappear from my mailserver when I initially deleted it from my PPC Inbox. All through this I had "Leave copies of emails on the mail server" ticked in the mail account settings on PPC. The send/receive didnt clear the mail servers Inbox, neither did the Delete so I was surprised the Empty Trash Can did.
Solved it by switching to IMAP4 - but logic of all this appears odd to me.
Thanks, anyway.
Hello,
Is it possible to send mails from the "Outlook E-mail" account which is synchronized with my Outlook from Windows mobile phone ? When I want to answer to a mail, it is saved in outbox and then after next sync my Outlook sends it. so i always have to use my own configured mail account there. and answering on a mail from "Outlook E-mail" is not possible...
Hi,
for doing this, you need to configure your mobile device to fetch e-mail directly from your isp's mailaccount via pop3 or imap. that's something completely different from active sync.
be aware, if you configure pop3 you need to leave a copy of the mail on the mailserver for pop3 downloads messages. in that case you'll get your mails only on one device (mobile OR pc/notebook). the solution would be imap.
so you need to configure your mobile device just like your outlook account on you pc/notebook (server, username, password).
Plus, you'll need to have a look on your data transfer. if you access you mailaccount directly, the mails charge your dataplan. so take care of size limitations while configuring your mobile device (only headers prob, and limit size of attachments unless you do not want to download huge mails).
Hope this helps,

No other way?
I have my outlook account, synchronised with all mail downloaded at the office and an imap account to retrieve emails on the go. As the imap account is cleared after office download, there is no archive inside. Both accounts are linked to the same email address.
I would like to be able to work on my mails (outlook account) and then send replies thanks to the imap account.
In office 2007 there is an option to enable you to select the account to be used for repling or sending emails. No such option in WM6?
Thanks
Michel
Ps. On top anyway to retrieve several emails accounts in one go?
I think you are looking to sync your company email. You will need your IT dept to set up Exchange for you to do this:

Thanks.
Sadly I'm not using a Microsoft Exchange Server.
Outlook is directly retrieving emails from my imap server (sync with my Kaiser). When I'm roaming, I retrieve mails on the imap server directly.
I'm not able to reply to mails previously sync (outlook account) when I'm not at the office - This is an issue as I'm consultant and I stay days without coming back to my home base.
Thanks for your help
Michel
Message up.
Sorry & Thanks
hey man i hated that too i thought that m$ didnt make this a thing you can do out the box.. just download emoze or another similar app that will push everything to your phone and from your phone to your comp.. if i were you when you do this dont have it push your contacts because when you plug in to active sync it doubles
Thanks - I will give it a try.
But it is weird it is not possible to select the account to be used when sending/replying to emails.
I tried to copy/past my answer from my outlook (sync) account to my roaming one and this is not even working.
Any other idea?
Thx
M
No solutions?
Maybe using another email client?
thx

pocket outlook is gimped without exchange... also, exchange 2003 has push enabled if it's up on service pack but lacks html email and some other instant sync capabilities that 2007 has...
if i didn't setup my own server i would def say paying for hosted exchange is worth it... ive messed with all those other sync/push clones but nothing comes anywhere near to the functionality/ease-of-use of having direct sync with exchange.
I will check for an hosted exchange server.
As a temp solution I will try FlexMail 2007: It is possible to reply to sync mail with another account.

Would this fix your problem? Set Outlook on your PC to "Leave a copy of messages on the server", and have your Kaiser retrieve all your messages from the IMAP server directly, whether you're in the office or not. If the Kaiser is connected via ActiveSync, it will use your PC's internet connection anyway, so no extra network charges.
That way all your emails are in one account on the Kaiser, and you could even turn off Outlook mail syncing in ActiveSync and reply directly to emails from the IMAP account on the Kaiser.
If you can't find "Leave a copy of messages on the server" in Windows Outlook, on my version (Outlook 2003) it's under Tools/Email Accounts/View or Change/Change/More Settings/Advanced (well hidden).
Can't confirm this option is there for IMAP - I use POP3 myself.

I haven't done too much looking at exchange hosting solutions but I think $10/month is the minimum you'll find... mail2web appears to have good hosting solutions.. you can try out their free service but it requries you to use their email address unless you upgrade to the $10/month plan.

i have set up up gmail as pop and imap on my tytn ii (wm6) using settings off google site. i can send emails and download received emails but nothing shows in 'sent items' on either account.
also, the imap account has set up sub folders for all my labels but only folder that has anything in in the inbox. anbody help
...
I believe it start out syncing the Gmail account with the phone "as of" the time in which you turned on IMAP. Don't bother with POP, sorry for the language, but it sucks. Give that a try, send some emails today and see if they store in the sent folder.
Cheers,
Paul
thanks paul, did some tests,
imap nothing appears in sent mail on pda but does go to sent folder online on my pc and also to pop3 account inbox on pda
pop3 does save email into sent folder when sent from pda but not when sent from online. i will keep pop3 account on pda and delete imap for now.
Hi all,
I have two E-Mail accounts set up on my Touch HD.
1) - Imap connection to GMAIL
2) - Sync connection to Nuevasync, through to Gmail for Cal and Contacts.
Now when I chose to manage folders in number 1, if I choose one of Google's default folders (All Mail, Spam etc) they sync correctly. If I choose folders created under the Inbox, although I have the option to check their check boxes, the E-Mails in them do not replicate onto my phone.
Is this a limitation with Gmail as in the Web GUI they are not shown as folders, but they do work fine in Thunderbird using an Imap Connection.
Many Thanks,
Paul.
I have the same problems. the subfolders emails are not mapped to my phone.
sorry for bringing up an old topic but I am having the same issue on my wizard have you by chance found a solution?
Thanks,
yonu
