I'm posting this here since it's more of a general WM5 question...
I'm very happy with the new ROM for my HTC Wizard, and Push Email especially.
However, in Microsofts infinite wisdom I am not alerted when new e-mail arrives in subfolder to the main Inbox (however, I am alerted when I get new email in the main inbox). I'm not very surprised since Outlook 2000/XP/2003 works the same way, but it is very annoying having unread e-mail I don't know about.
Is there a program or a ToDay-plugin or a registry setting or anything that enable alerts for new e-mail in subfolders?
*bump*
I would very much like to have this feature as well. I receive emails when servers go down, and I have an Outlook rule setup to send the email to a subfolder under my Inbox. I do not receive any notifications when I get emails in those subfolders. Did anybody ever figure out a way to get this working? I have a Cingular 8125 (HTC Wizard).
I am sorry to bring up this old thread but I have the exact same question I seach around and didn't find anything. I also seach HF and seem like no one know if notificiation for sub folder is possible.
Can someone verifiy if getting email notification for sub folders is possible? I have a 8125 running wwm6 rom.
bump up to the top - looking for the same feature.
I am looking for this same feature. I am using emoze to sync my inbox and a few subfolders. I am using a AT&T Tilt (HTC kaiser) with WM 6.
So there is still no solution to this ?
It is a "feature" of Outlook.
Desktop and Mobile versions do not notify the system that subfolders have received a message. Desktop 2003 used to do this, and then it was removed.
I don't have a workaround for the Mobile version. On the Desktop, I use search folders instead of subfolders. It sucks, but it works.
The reason subfolders don't notify, is that most subfolders are used for non-important messages (i.e. spam, or system notifications). I get over 200 emails an hour about servers being up/down. So, I get a lot of notices. However, using subfolders, I never saw anything!!!
Yes I understand the rationale behind the 'feature'. But I have important mail in the subfolders. Unfortunately at this time there seems to be nothing we can do.
I was hoping a registry entry which would let us add a subfolder path or something like that.
Voice Command Will Tell You (sometimes)
I think there must be an event that can be trapped if someone (more capable than I) can cobble together a few lines of code.
I have MS Voice Command with the JetWare bluetooth addon. On my 8125 running WM5, I would get the read-out-loud notifications for mail delivered to subfolders. I've recently upgraded to a Tilt with WM6 and this bug/feature doesn't repeat.
I think this is a feature that many "power users" would appreciate... at least as an option.
Have a look at SPB Diary. This can show your emails on the today screen...including subfolders that you choose.
Did anyone ever find a better solution to this?
I saw people asking the same question here: http://discussion.wmexperts.com/showthread.php?p=1409571

I'm sure there's loads of other places where this has been suggested. It just seems like an obvious feature to me, especially if you are promoting WM6 as a business tool.

Too many notifications...
On a related note, this question:
My Hermes (AT&T 8525, WM5) alerts me when new mail arrives... that's no problem. However, If I don't stop and read it then, the next time it syncs it notifies me again about the same mail. Is there any way to set this up so that it will only sound a notification when something *NEW* comes in?
Thanx,
Woe
Can anyone help with changing the default File-As setting on Pocket Contacts.
If you add a name in WM Contacts and ActiveSync, it comes through as Surname, Fname; even though the default in Outlook is Fname Surname.
How do I get the PPC2003SE and WM5 devices to change their default as well.
(2002 asked a once off default preference - and since then, reinstalls, new ROMs ... nothing helps ...)
Any ideas?
bruceorwho, welcome to the forum.
Please use the search, this is a problem that we almost all encounter, and have a few good solutions for.

I just got the Eris today(re-brand of the Hero), and I would like to know how to transfer a few things. How can i transfer my contacts from WM to Android. I tried that gmail active sync method but I was getting an error. I also don't have outlook installed(have office but never installed outlook). so I am looking for another options. I would also like to transfer my SMS, however this seems a bit harder as I have the Palm SMS software installed, which is a bit different from default WM SMS software(be it 6.0 or 6.1). Thank you
Hello,
I've done this before but don't know how once I hard resetted my phone.
How do you change sms compose to the old basic way instead of the new way with "Tap for recipients", etc?
Hi,
this thing is driving me nuts. I've spent the last 20 hours trying to figure out how to make this simple setting.
The environment: TP1, WM 6.5 / 6.1
The problem: You open a stock WM calendar application. Lets suppose you have an appointment in the agenda view. You select the appointment (select with the arrow keys). Then, you want to create _a new_ appointment. But. You want this new appointment to occur _directly after_ the appointment you've selected earlier.
I've checked 9 ROMs (most Energy ROMs) with WM 6.5 and two ROMs with WM6.1 and only one ROM supported this feature. Now, maybe I'm exaggerating, but a 6.5 Windows version _should have a very simple thing like this one fixed_! God damn it!
The question: does anybody know a registry fix / a solution (adding subsequent appointments in agenda view; a new appointment will automatically get a start time after the first appointment ended).
I've searched/tried:
- the xda forum
- the ROMs (I have a list)
- used AgendaOne <- this program solves the issue
- used Pocket Informant <- latest 9.10 version doesn't fix the issue on WM 6.5, haven't (yet) checked on WM 6.1
Regards.
