Why is Pocket Outlook E-Mail so slow? Any Hacks? - General Questions and Answers

Hey XDA Community,
i already had 3 windows mobile phones. now i have the htc touch pro 2. there is always the same problem, in every windows mobile version i had:
i synchronize my e-mail account via pocket outlook (imap) and it tooks a lot of minutes until i get the e-mails. i have 1200 e-mails synchronized. if i use another e-mail program like profimail it just tooks about 15 seconds to receive them.
it hangs especially long when "receiving headlines" is displayed at the bottom. i am german so i translated the sentence to "Receiving headlines". dont know if it is the correct translation but maybe you know what i wanna say.
do you have some advice or hack or something different to solve this problem?
it would be very great!
this is so endless slowly.....
greetings
andi

SMS with Pocket Outlook NOT with built-in Palm App

This is something many people would like to have the choice and should not be that difficult to find out (registry?), but I'm not the big reg-hacker
The idea is how to set the Treo to write, show, send and receive SMS text messages with the standard pocket Outlook application of WM5.
Why?
Because I like to have emails and SMS collected within one application AND I want to sync SMS using Jeyo with my desktop Outlook.
Ideas?
hi, i always wondered, how it would be possible to save sms on my pc. with my vpa i used jeyo mobile extender, too. with the treo it doesnt work.
did you find a solution?
unfortunately not. sometimes I wonder how is it possible that only I do see such important things (from my point of view) but nobody else
Im using the Excalibur now and I am very happy with it, but still I ned to touch my Treo every evening, its just too sexy.

How to have a good syncronization???

Hello dudes, I am new on the forum, i tried several roms either on the former touch cruise and on my X1.
I don't know where to find an answer to this question. So I maybe ask here.
I am really annoyed by he fact that my pc (windows XP sp2, outlook 2002 - 2003 and now 2007, AS 4.5 build 5096) does NOT syncronize, on my device, items which contain any note, and as well the emails in HTML format.
For example, if a contact has a photo or a note, or an appointment has anything written in the "notes" field, i will have not a chance to see it on the PDA.
Also the emails, I cannot see the emails i received in Outlook if they are in HTML format.
You understand that in this way it is completely useless to have a mobile device.
I have no idea how to solve, or what can be the problem. In Outlook I have stored like 12.000 emails (only in the inbox) and something like 700 contacts, maybe is toomuch for the phone?
If I would switch to windows vista, would be fine?
I hope you can help me!

50 email limit - Windows Live Hotmail

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

This isn't a windows mobile problem but a MS Live problem.

What is happening to Yahoo?

does you guys experience difficulties in connecting to yahoo mail server.. or yahoo messenger service? im using slick v.54 for messenger and pocket outlook for yahoo imap mail..
Problem: pocket outlook always promted for user name & password even you have enter the correct one; slick is always disconneted after authentication..
thanks...
Devices: dopod 838 pro (CRCwm6.1); TouchPro (TIMOLOLwm6.5)
This is freaking me out! I tried many different approaches to access my inbox but get a Page Cannot be Displayed message each time. The only thing I can access is my address book. I've tried several computers with the same result. Additionally, my daughter's email is working great, so I know it is not a problem with my computer. I used to pay for Yahoo but they extended the storage capacity of the free service so I no longer need to. Just because it's free doesn't mean that thousands of people do not depend on Yahoo. I hope they take this seriously! This is a major impact to my family. Any word on what Yahoo is doing to fix this?

Problem: Outlook Mobile needs sooo much time for e-mails/imap

Hello Community,
maybe you can help me. I have a HTC Touch Pro 2, and i like it, but since years i have the same problem with all windows mobile devices:
when i want syncing my e-mails (Via imap) and with outlook mobile it takes sooo much time until i get the e-mails. i had 1500 e-mails so i deleted 1000. now i have just 540 e-mails and it still needs almost the same long time.
is this problem known? is there any fix available, a registry tweak or something like that to fix this awful problem?
i would be very pleased if you could help me
ps: i dont want to use other e-mail programs because they are never as good implemented as the original from microsoft...
greetings from germany
andi
Does nobody has a answer for me? i think there are more windows mobile people in the world experiencing this problem.
greets
Why do you sync all the 540 e-mails from outlook ? Make "Ordner" and sync allways the newest. Is your rom orig. ?
First, I think this belongs in the Q&A forum(?)
Second, I agree it is slow, but only during the initial sync after creating the email account in the phone. If you want to avoid this delay, just use PIMBackup to restore your emails to the account on the phone directly. Other suggestions would be to:
1. Reduce the number of emails synced to the phone, i.e. select the last 30 days, etc.
2. Reduce the size of the emails by syncing only parts of the message, not the entire message.
3. Reduce the max size of attachements or don''t sync them.
4. Sync emails as regular text, not html. (But I don't know if this really improves speed...)
This also depends a lot on your bandwidth so check your signal strength, and compare sync speeds between WiFi, 3G, ActiveSync passthru, etc. I did have some problems with authentication on previous 6.1 ROMS where poutlook kept re-trying to login to the account and would stall forever, but haven't seen this in the latest builds.
This is no way is DEV. so please don't post it here.
Moved to Q&A.
Please read rules, and post in the correct forums.
