[Q] Options for email sync frequency - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just got Dell Venue Pro, as most of you know MS really cheated us with features compared to 6.5, but I am trying to stick it out. However I live on email, my work email is IMAP, the fastest email refresh I can have is 15 minutes. Anyone knows a fix that would allow me to set non-Live, non-Gmail, non-Exchange refresh time to every 5 minutes ? Registry fix, script, 3rd party software , etc ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Outlook plugins for internal/auto delivery

I would like to know if there was a plugin to pocket outlook that could tell the auto delivery option (get email every 15 mins) to work only during 9 to 5 and maybe different setting for the weekend.
Anything out there ?
Surely someone else does this ?
OR
Is everyone just running there email constantly 24x7 ? I can't believe everyone going into mail options and chainging the setup nightly !!!

WM6: E-Mail Account, check for messages smallest interval 15 min too long :(

Hello @ all,
in WM5 I was able to setup manual a time interval how often my phone should for E-Mail messages (e.g. every 5 minutes)... now on WM6 the time intervals are fixed and smallest one is 15 minutes
Does somebody know if this is in any way changeable? E.g. by reg. editing?
TIA
Is there anything new to that? Probably there's a reg key to change ore something like that...
Would be great to reduce the checking interval...
Thanks at all!

I'd like to know this also. I'd love to use direct push, but my email is through AIM. Their IMAP service is great, but they don't allow auto-forwarding, so no push for me. I've even tried the aggregator over at mail2web, but no go.
mail2web.com definitely provides push mail support. y 've got the right settings in active sync? mail2web has to be set up as exchange not as imap or pop as MS direct push is based on an Exchange Server, but nevertheless i have read that hotmail including Live is or is gonna providing this feature as well.

mail : not enough competitors !!

Hi everybody.
I juste want to say that I'm not able to find a mail client for my HTC.
There is almoust no competitors on this market :
Built-in app : no backup. each hard reset = reconfigure every account
FlexMail : too slow
Profimail : not that easy to configure
QMail : Old
and that's alll.
Does someone here can tell me if there is somewhere a valuable mail client for windows mobile ?
Thank you
Hmmm .... how did you manage to miss www.mail2web.com? With these you can use the built-in Outlook and it works a treat.
They are not free but they are cheap and its a full Exchange client (if you wish it to be). I use them through my own domain and think they are excellent. My sent mails even get sent out as *@stuza.com.
And as I access them through my own domain (*.stuza.com) i can even get to its web front end through many restricted corporate firewalls!
Thank you.
I'm afraid not to have completly undersood you ...
I know Mail2web, I used to use it as a web client when I couldn't use Pocket Outlook in my phone (because no pop or imap data plan).
Now, I can use my multiple imap account in whatever mail client (built in pocket outlook, flexmail, etc.).
But I often Hard reset or flash my rom, and the Poicket outlook doesn't allow a simple settings export : each time, I have to configure my 5 accounts and its tedious.
The other ones allow a setting export, but they are tedious to USE.
so, I wonder why there is not other mail client : I think the market is here ; isn't it?
ps : sorry for my english, I'm french ;-)
Pocket Outlook is built into ALL WinMob devices afaik.
Click -
Start menu
- Messaging
then inside messaging click
- Setup E-Mail
now enter your details and WinMob should auto-detect all the Mail2Web settings for you
If you need to re-enter all your details every time you reboot then it sounds like you have a more serious issue that someone else might be able to help you with?
- I have, say, 5 imap accounts : 3 gmail, 2 other provider mail.
Well
- I know, and use, Pocket Outlook. and for the momentt, I think it's the most intuitive mail client.
BUT : when I do a Hard Reset, my 5 accounts are no more here, an that's normal : I have done a Hard Reset.
In FlexMail, for exemple, I can easilly recall my settings because there is a backup solution. I just have to reinstall FlexMail, end recover all my 5 accounts without a tedious stylus manual configuration for each.
In the buit-in Pocket Outlook, Ihave to re-configure each account manually. That's why I'd prefer to use a third party app, or find a way to backup my mail account.
I dont see the interest of use mail2web as I can access my mails without ... Bt perhaps I miss someting ?
Tnah you for your help.

Thats the real problem here. If this didn't happen I suspect you would be happy with Outlook. It might be better to start a new thread or change the tittle of this one to "Reboot wipes mail settings" and hopefully someone can help you fix this?
Reboot wipes mail settings
Yes that's the real problem.
At the same time, my comment about the lack of competition in this area remains.
Why QMAIL3 (last release May 13 2009) is old ?
i was just thinking about this same thing the other day.... there are replacements for just about every aspect of the phone... explorer, browser, multimedia, contact management, but mail is the least touched... i was thinking i would prefer a more finger friendly version would be nice... something along the lines of icontact for email
i have multiple accounts too and its a pain setting up after each new ROM
Can somebody just send an email to MS to request them to add the 'export settings' feature on poutlook. I think it's the best solution say that in the future release of WM65 this become a 'build-in' function. And, seems much easier for them to do it, I just remember eversince the earliest 'outlook express', MS has this feature built-in their desktop mail client.
I'm just afraid of my English not good enough to express this in a convincible way to those guys in MS.
Update: I just have sent the link of this page to MS Outlook Mobile Team, Hope they can pay some attention to this 'customer feedback'.

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.

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.

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.
