outlook folder created after sync - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys. Really need some help here. I have been using this forum for a while now and have found some amazing information that has really helped, but I cannot seem to sort this problem out. I have had this problem for about one and a half years and just learnt to live with it. I have asked on microsoft forums and no one can really help. I think it is the way I am trying to explain it or something I am doing wrong in the setup of outlook.
On my computer I have Office Outlook 2007 with a hotmail and tiscali email accounts within Outlook. On my phone (Xperia X1. Have tried Win Mob 6.1, 6.5) I had a Tiscali and hotmail account which I could send/receive from. After using active sync there is now an "outlook" folder on my phone. Every time I sync it moves my emails from tiscali to outlook on my phone (i supose because they are in my tiscali folder in outlook on my PC). The problem I have is that I cannot send/receive from the outlook folder on my phone. So If I want to reply to a message that is on my phone I have to copy and paste it back into a tiscali mail.
The outlook "folder" on my phone is an account.... i think?.... as it comes up in the account list along with tiscali, sms/ mms, hotmail and new account.
If I go into the tiscali one, i hit "menu" down the bottom and then I can hit "send/receive". This is all fine.
If I go into my outlook one i hit "menu" and "send/receive" is greyed out.
If I go "tools", "options" and select the outlook account the only screen I get is "e mail sync options" where I can select a few item regarding downloading from my laptop when I sync.
If I do the same in the tiscali account I can edit account setup, send and receive schedule etc.
???? I am lost!!
Thanks, Tristan

Help with my Outlook Email Setup & HTC Wizard

I need some help setting up email on my 8125 to efficiently sync with Outlook on my Laptop.
In Outlook on my PC I have multiple Gmail accounts setup. Emails from these accounts come into the same Inbox folder (within the same Outlook Data File, of course). Whenever I respond to an email, the reponse is sent from the Gmail account that the email was originally sent to.
Is there any way to emulate this on the HTC Wizard?
I have no problem synching the Outlook Inbox on the 8125. However, to check email while on the road, I have to setup each Gmail account separately. The emails are downloaded into separate inboxes within their respective account folders.
Because of this any reading/responding/deleting of emails I do on the phone does not sync to Outlook on my PC.
This sux because I have to maintain the separate POP accounts on the phone as well as my Outlook Inbox.
Does anybody else have a similiar PC setup to mine that can offer any insight or suggestions. They'd be greatly appreciated.
Even though I don't know much about them, I have a feeling that an exchange server (or possibly Cingular Xpress Mail) may be the only solution for my problem.
THanks in advanced for any help!

I-mate JASJAR outlook Mobile Question

I have a question about the inbox of Mobile Outlook
-Suppose I have POP email ([email protected]) and that is the only email account I use.
- When I synchonized my Device with ny Desktop outlook I get All my Folders,
mails and Attachements.(Which is Perfect).
But Unfortunately not the mail Account settings.
That means I can't send and receive mails by GPRS connection.
So I'm Obliged to make the same POP email ([email protected]) as a new account.
-Now I have the same email twice
Is there a way to check the POP acount on my device and have the mail show up in the Mobile Outlook inbox, instead of the separate "POP" mailbox?
I don't want to then sync my device with my PC, and have the same messages in two different mailboxes.
Right now the device sees two accounts (1) from my PC and (2) the POP email account.
I want only one account since the "two" are actually the same account.
Naturally that is the case, otherwise you would have complete confusion as you picked up mail on outlook on your pc and then picked it up on your JasJar.
There are 2 options for you:
1. Use Exchange Server, this allows you to have one email account and then you can activesync through your gprs/3g using your mobile connection wherever you are without connecting to your laptop.
2. change your mail account settings on your outlook on the pc to leave a copy of messages on the mail server, then don't sync your mail with outlook on the pc, just use your one pop account on your Jasjar. That way you can pick up mail on your pc and mail on your JasJar. Of course it will be duped and you wont have copies of sent items on both, but hey, not everything is perfect unless you use Exchange.

WM and forced Outlook E-Mail?

Hey all,
I'm pretty satisfied with my Touch Pro and there is a small point Maybe someone here knows the answer...
I use activesync on the phone and Windows Mobile Device Center on my desktop, to sync everything except e-mail because I have a full email bundle with my telco so I poll mail on my phone as well as on my desktop, leaving email on the server. That way I'm always aware of email I receive.
Now, when I put an appointment in my calendar on my phone and I invite someone to that appointment, it wants to send that person an email. The problem is that it tries to do that via the Outlook E-Mail account which I don't have and the messages just stay in the Outlook E-Mail outbox forever.
I can't find any setting on my phone, to change the default account used to send these emails.
Does anyone here know how to get this working the way I want?
Grtz,
Patrick
Go to calendar -> tools -> options
Go to the appointments tab and select your desired account under 'Send meeting requests via'
Thanks, it turns out to be a very simply solution

Outlook & Hotmail

First post....first question
Hi guys, i was looking for a way to syncronize my hotmail account with pocket outlook, is ti possible??
On my pc i've installed "Outlook Connector" to sync them...
...something similar for ppc??
I searched through the forum but i haven't found anything
Sorry for my bad bad English...
Probably a lot easier to use Pocket MSN.
If you try and create an Outlook account to hotmail from Mobile 5 onwards it will probably start Pocket MSM anyway.
you can go to hotmail's website, look for the perferences requires to setup your mail account.. and then go to Messaging/Menu/Options and click New Account
insert all email account properties.. and voila.
On my phone that would not work. (Qtek 9100 WM5.0(Wizard))
As soon as you create an account of the form [email protected], the New Account wizard is cancelled and you are dumped into Pocket MSN whether you like it or not.

I think "nir36" means to go with your PC on Option page of your hotmail account...and than select the option to redirect all received mail to a NEW account!!
Am i right??
If so...i'd like to use my actual address, but if there's no way...
...i'll use Pocket MSN
Thank you guys!!
How to get Hotmail on your Windows Mobile phone
The easiest way (if you want over-the-air sync, data charges apply of course) is to use Windows Live Mobile:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334621
Install the cab, run the program and enter your hotmail address and your password. you can then choose whether you want to sync your address book and/or your emails to the phone.
Your Hotmail account appears within Pocket Outlook as a separate account.
After the first sync, you can then set up your emails to be pushed to the phone, sync'd at regular intervals, or only when you initiate it.

wow, this is a real complete application, i'm playing with it now and i'ts ok!!
the wizard is simple and everithing works; it creates a "Windows Live" account under the Outlook one in the ppc!!
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Sadly, Windows Live Mobile still doesn't allow task and calendar sync with Windows Live Calendar.
So, if you want to go a step further and cut your ties with the PC and abandon ActiveSync altogether, I'd suggest you use Google Calendar for that function instead.
Web (Google Calendar) to phone (Pocket Outlook) two-way sync can be achieved via Google Mobile Sync which uses Exchange, and can run in parallel with Windows Live Mobile.
For PC (Outlook Calendar) to web (Google Calendar) two-way sync, just use Google Calendar Sync.
Voila! No need to dock your phone to your PC for PIM synchronization.
i assumed you have WM6..
A related question, I used to sync my hotmail account using pocket outlook, but here is what I actually wanted:
1. I want to download the mails as usual, but do NOT want them to be deleted from the server when I delete them from the device, is there anyway to do it (I am using WM 6.1 Pro and my hotmail account is non premium).
Thanks

Remove email off phone after sync

Hi all. Apologies for this post, it should be such a simple thing.
When I activesync my HTC Touch HD / Blackstone to my PC, I'd like all the emails synced and then removed from the phone. Does anyone know which setting this is? I can't find it on activsync or in the email settings. I have yahoo and they were on that account on my mobile while i was away. i've just added mail to the list of things to sync and the emails have left the yahoo folder, gone into outlook on the pc, then outlook has been added to my mobile as an account and all the message have been copied to there.
What i'd like is to have 2 folders - yahoo & hotmail - with emails to be dumped onto their respective account folders when i sync with outlook on my pc. Any tips on how I set this up?
Thanks in advance.

Something you might want to try is if Yahoo or Hotmail support IMAP. That way, when you change an email on device, it affects the server copy too.
Outlook on desktops has support for rules, which may be of use for you. (I think google is more likely to be helpful than I am!) I know from personal use that rules can delete duplicate emails, and move emails around...
for info of anyone reading - IMPA was the way. I wassn't sure what imap was, but basically it maps to the server store rather than downloading stuff, so the messages dissapear from the phone once you download them from the server to your computer.
