keeping Gmail and Outlook (Exchange) synced up?

Hello all,
Does anyone know of a way that would allow me to use an Exchange account and keep it synced up to my Gmail account?
By that I mean messages marked as read/deleted would replicate to both?
I pay for an Exchange account but really just use it for my calander and contacts as I primarily use Gmail (imap) on my Tilt. I've got it set to check for messages every 10 minutes but would prefer to use my Exchange account if I could get it to sync up with Gmail.
Thanks
David

[Q] why are emails deleted

if i go into emails it downloads them no problem, next time i go into emails it deletes the ones already there, yet i don't receive these emails on my PC either .Why is it deleting them and is there any way to stop it

Are you using the GMail client or the other one ("Email")?
If the latter, are you using POP/IMAP, or Exchange? If it's not Exchange, I'd suggest you embrace your GMail account - you can configure it to collect email from other accounts - and use the GMail app. This has the extra advantages that you have a central contacts list, and can view your emails on any computer with a browser too.

use the other email and its a pop account ,so are you saying use g mail and set up my pop account on there, already have my g mail account set up on the email appr

There is most likely a setting to remove the mail off the server when you pull it into the app, thus deleting it off your regular mail server, and why you aren't seeing it on your pc. I'd poke around the settings a bunch and see what is up.

I set up a few POP accounts in the appropriate client, but I think the only 'delete/remove from server' option was only when emails were deleted locally. I'm not sure about the default behavior - whether it is 'download and remove from server' or just 'download a copy and leave on server'.
checking in the client settings, it's under Incoming Settings, and the options are only
"Delete email from server -"
and the two options are 'When I delete from Inbox' or 'never'.
That tells me the client should NOT be removing/deleting emails from the server except possibly when you delete a mail from the inbox. IIRC, the default setting was 'never'.
Combat, do you perhaps have a client running on a computer somewhere that may be periodically checking and removing the mail from the server? This is a common thing with email servers - someone leaves an email program running on a computer which is set to download and remove mail from the server... then the mail doesn't show up on their phone.

Incoming setting were set as never delete mail from server so unchecked it and rechecked it again ill see what happens

There's probably a setting in the Email app for leaving mail on the server, but personally I get my GMail account to pick up mail for all my POP accounts.
You can configure GMail (through the web interface) so that you can send emails out as if from your other accounts too.
For example, if someone emails me at [email protected] then it gets picked up by my Gmail account. If I then hit reply, GMail will use [email protected] as the 'from' address. If I reply to an email sent to my gmail.com address, the reply will come from my gmail.com address.
So you don't have to mess around with 2 different apps, you have all your email in one place, accessible from anywhere, with a single contacts list. Win/Win.

[Q] Show all emails

I have several accounts set up on my phone, all send and receive ok, but when I open up any of the accounts (except the exchange account) they only show unread mail. Any other mail in the inbox is not visible, although when on my computer outlook displays all inbox mail. Only had the phone a few days and cannot see what I settings I need to change, cannot find any threads relating to this.
It's a pain because I cannot lookup previous emails for info. etc.
Thanks in advance if anyone can point me in the right direction

IMAP vs POP
I am assuming that you have your outlook set up to access your email account using POP which causes Outlook to physically download and remove the data from the server. If you change your Outlook settings to use IMAP instead then the data will live on the server and you can access it from your computer, your phone, another computer using web-access etc.
To get this set up you can search the web for IMAP directions for your specific provider and outlook along with your phone.
Hope this helps.

Try to increase the sync duration for the seperate accounts. Are you going to individual accounts or trying to look at it from the combined view. Removing the account and adding back might help too.

Thanks for the replies, I had worked around the problem by forwarding any email from the 2 problem accounts to gmail. However they are POP accounts so will try altering to IMAP to see if that cures the problem.
Thanks again

[Q] Old email keeps showing as unread email

I have 3 email accounts. Hotmail, Yahoo and Gmail. With my Hotmail account, I'll go in and read my email. Then when I get a new email, all the email I read weeks ago is now showing as unread. So instead of the email app showing I only have 1 new email, which is true, it shows I have over 10 new emails.... which in fact are just really old emails.
This only does it with my Hotmail account. I have it set to delete my email online when I delete it from my device. Not sure if that matters.
Does anyone know how to correct this?

Autosync? As in settings->account and sync? Hotmail isnt an option.

Happened the exact same to me.
I only managed to fix yahoo and hotmail
Hotmail: download the microsoft+SEVEN hotmail that one push syncs mail better than any other mail client for hotmail ive had and fixed my issue.

Yahoo: the yahoo mail client fixed all my problems for me.

As of gmail i still get some read mail as unread... only i could do to make it better was reduce the days it synced so less unread mail appears.
Hope it helps man.
(IF you only have trouble with Hotmail, ignore the Gmail and Yahoo part)

Hotmail/Outlook Problems?

Is anyone else having problems with inbox? Since yesterday I changed to outlook.com and reseted my phone, but i'm not receiving anything from the Inbox folder. Any other folder is ok. If I set a rule to move all new mails to another folder, I receive it normally in my WP (still, even after receiving the email, I got no notification in lockscreen. Just tile).
Anyone else?

Im in same boat.

Assuming you have Twitter account added to your WP, try this:
1. Delete Twitter from Email + Accounts list
2. Reboot phone
3. Sync mail
You should see your mail again. I was also able to add Twitter back to my list without losing the sync.

Calendars
I haven't changed my Hotmail/Windows Live email address to the Outlook.com but I did change to the new 'Outlook' style before switching back to the classic style.
I don't know if it's connected but my Windows Phone is only displaying my Facebook calendar. The default Hotmail calendar is in the settings but is not displaying. And my other calendars aren't even in the settings.
How do I get back all my calendars :-S ?
EDIT: Editing the linked Twitter account seemed to fix the problem.
I don't know if re-adding the Twitter a/c will cause the problem to reoccur.

I've also seen this work for other users if they remove their LinkinIn account, re-sync, and re-add the LinkedIn account. This has also been reported as a viable workaround for @msn and @live mail accounts as well.

Does anyone know if migrating from hotmail to outlook will enable flag email function in windows phone? afaik hotmail doesn't have flag option in windows phone but outlook does.
