Further to my last thread (this is a separate issue so i thought i'd make a separate thread)....
How does Hotmail syncing work on Windows Mobile? i'm mostly asking about the sent items.
When i send an e-mail from my phone, it's saved into my sent items folder, which is then synced with the Hotmail 'server' so i can view that sent item regardless of where i log on....
But when i delete my sent items from Hotmail (via my PC etc) the sent items don't sync, and i'm left with loads of sent items on my phone (if i forget to delete them regularly).
Initially i thought it was because syncing wasn't enabled... but it must be if they're appearing on the hotmail server.... !?
if anyone can shed some light (maybe i'm just being dumb!) i'd appreciate it!
Thanks!
(I've just got a Kaiser, running WM6 and i notice that i've had to manually go into 'folder management' to enable syncing for sent items... so i'm wondering if it works differently on WM6!?)
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.
Wasn't sure where this went and I rephrased the question a hundred times into Google and couldn't get a satisfactory answer. All I could find were IPhone threads, and one with an app for Message Notify, which looked really promising until I installed it and realized it only works with Today, but not with Touchflo 3d.
I was really hoping I didn't have to get rid of Touchflo cause it's really nice, just for e-mail.
So anyway I use Gmail, and I have my Gmail automatically label certain e-mail as it comes in and archive it so it doesn't show in my inbox, so on my Thunderbird, Outlook 2007 and Windows Mobile e-mail it will put these e-mails into subfolders.
On my Windows Mobile phone it only alerts me on a new e-mail into the inbox. Any new e-mail into subfolders doesn't tell me anything. I have to open my inbox, click inbox and scroll through my subfolders periodically to see if there's a (1) next to any of my subfolders. Any solutions for this?
Thanks!
Hello,
The problem with .eml files forwarded from hotmail via a windows mobile phone up to date came from the phone or from hotmail?
Can't forward a simple jpg or wav file the exact same way I got it.
Is it a setting somewhere?
thanks
OK, totally not sure what you're asking about here... but I only know of a few settings that affect the email system, an dI don't think any of them are what you're looking for (though I really don't know). Please explain what your problem is,a nd what the desired solution is, more clearly.
WHen I get an email on my phone, via hotmail. With an attachment (in this case, a jpg) and I forward it to someone else, this person received my email, but the jpg file is now ending with .eml instead.
Same for a wav file or PDF. And it's only when I do it from my phone on my hotmail account
With gmail, I don't have this issue.
I don't wanna disable my hotmail account or forward it to my gmail, I wanna keep both.
My phone is a Samsung Focus i917R with OS 7.10.8107.79
thanks
OK, now that I understand what the problem is... I really don't know what's happening. Is it the original attachment just getting renamed, or is the original email being forwarded *as* an attachment (.EML = email message file)? Some mail clients do that by default, and almost all offer it as an option (include original message as attachment when forwarding).
You could also check your Hotmail settings (on the web), see if there's anything about this behavior in there. The fact that the phone only does this on your Hotmail account suggests that the problem quite possibly isn't the phone, but the service. That, I can't really help you with.
Yes it's only the file. The original email is intact.
I'll check on my hotmail settings on the web to see if there's a setting somewhere.
Thanks for you reply
Really out of luck. Can't find nothing to solve it on my hotmail web account.
It's only happen from my phone. I'm using m.hotmail.com to have the push notification.
I'm having the same setup with my Ipod Touch and it's working fine! So, I think it's more a device OS issue
Same here
I tried it, i'm using hotmail now, but that is unbelievable!
If I forward any message then it will be an attachment! If the email that I frowarded got an attachment too, then the message is in the forwarded email, but the attachments goes to the .eml!
What can we do with it?
It's a pain, and a non sense
even same problem here.
I just sent a document from my hotmail to self (using pc)
and then I have forwarded the same mail to other person from windows phone.
It added extra .eml file to attachements.
Where can i file this bug in WP7?
I have the same problem but it happens with all emails (with and without attachments).
All emails are being forwarded inside an .eml attachment and not as inline text. It happens on my wife's phone (Samsung Galaxy S / Android) so the problem probably has to be caused by the application.
Hi All.
So I just got a windows phone 7 and i setup my email account on it, but I noticed it wasnt syncing my folders like my old 6.5 phone did.
I had a look online and found instructions saying to go to the folder settings and check the folders for syncinc but It wasnt listing the folders I had setup on my email.
Im using a web based email and my main inbox emails are getting downloaded, its just when I get to the auto sorted folder emails, they dont seem to exist on my phone.
Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance
Try to use IMAP instead of POP3...
