Office 365 - General Questions and Answers

So my company just started forcing the use of Outlook mobile app for our email. I despise this app and and would rather use Nine. Does anyone know how to bypass this? I could in the past when it was just ActiveSync, but don't seem to be able to with O365. Thanks in advance!

Thread moved and cleaned up.

Outlook and Junk Mail

Greetings,
Many of you have had some great apps for the Mobile outloook and PIM on the phones but I am missing one options. What about junk mail? Has anyone created a program that allows you to set a message as junk so it goes to a junk mail folder like in your yahoo or outlook folders? Has anyone done that? I want to be able to sort out the crap and keep the good stuff on my phone while still makring what I don't want at junk and the server knows that.
Thanks.

Leave messages on Exchange Server

I helped a client set up a new Moto Q 9c last week using OWA synchronization. When she got to her office today and opened Outlook, none of the email came in to her Inbox. Is there a Leave mail on server option in Windows Mobile for mail coming from an Exchange Server, and if so, where would I find it?
Thanks,
Cathy
to my knowledge, it should be kept on the server anyway.. just like regular poutlook
she's getting all mail to her ppc and then it gets deleted from the server?
That's what I assumed would happen. If she leaves her desktop Outlook open, they come in there. Haven't heard back whether they're also coming into the PDA, but assuming so.

Hi Cathy, thats wierd, i use exchange email regularly and never had that problem. Did she accidentally delete the messages on her device and synced(which would explain the empty inbox)?
I use original 6.1 wwe rom and there is no option like that, im not that familiar with the Q9c, is that 6.1 too? WHen she is getting used to it, it might be safer to manually sync on her device instead of when items arrive, that way they are safe on the server, but does kind of defeat the point i guess lol.
I installed ActiveSync on her computer yesterday, synchronized with the Q, and after a couple of hours she said everything appeared to be working properly. Fingers crossed! Thanks for your response.

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.

Outlook Syncing On Your Infuse...

Anyone out there use Companionlink/DejaOffice to sync their Outlook contact, calendar, notes and task to the Infuse?
Coming from years on Windows Mobile, I felt like I couldn't live without it as I like to do my planning on Outlook 2010 but now and then, I need to do it on my phone.
While far from perfect, Companionlink/DejaOffice does a good job...the latest update to DejaOffice seems a little quirky though...the sync progress goes away after 10 seconds and you can only see the progress on the PC.
I'm sorry I can' help you with Outlook. I'm just surprised anybody does this anymore. There are so many web-based / network-based solutions to choose from:
Google (the one built right into your phone)
Windows Live
Yahoo
Sync with your work Exchange server
Etc.
Now that you aren't on Windows Mobile anymore, you might want to consider this as being a great time to move to one of the aforementioned options.
My company blocked all non-company owned devices from using web synch since it was too easy to bypass the remote wipe and password requirements.
The only way to synch is by using Outlook on my home PC that connects into my Work account. Of course I have not tried that with an Android device yet, just used to be able to do it with WM devices.

Well, CompanionLink/DejaOffice works pretty good...a little quirky and needs some adjustment but it works quite well...you still have to pay $40.00 for CompanionLink but it was worth it...not ready yet to NOT sync with Outlook...
I hear ya, the contacts are one thing but not having my calendar is a PITA.

That's unfortunate your company blocks the use of non-company devices to sync. I guess it depends on how strict the IT dept policies are. I'm lucky. I have my work exchange email, contacts and calendar with me all the time. I just use the built in email app.

I am using android sync. It is just usb sync though. You have to connect to sync.

I just got the InFuse and I downloaded the trial version of Touchdown app for Exchange. You should give it a try it is free to try and I really like this app. It syncs everything over the air and downloaded every single folder I have plus all the emails in them. I think for the corporate user this is THE app for email syncing.
Touchdown is very good...I don't do exchange at home so CompanionLink is the way to go for me to sync my Outlook contacts, tasks and notes.
I have been using Touchdown for a year it so, but yesterday I gave Moxier Email a try, and though it misses a few tricks Touchdown has, the UI and overall feeling is newer and more polished.

So before I buy an infuse.
I currently use a tilt2 with windows mobile, and active sync software.
For my work, I cannot live without exchange server access to my:
email (use outlook on the laptop but it all comes from the exchange server)
calender: exchange server
contacts: exchange server
tasks: exchange server
I'm able to access emails, attachments, forward, reply, etc. I'm able to modify conference meeting times, and send updates from exchange to all participants. I'm able to schedule new meetings and invite attendees on the work exchange/network from my work/exchange contacts, etc, etc, etc.
I'm basically able to do everything I would do from my laptop on my phone, but with a smaller screen and keyboard.
Again I need to have all the same options that I have within outlook on my PC with email/calender/contact functions and exchange access.
Before I dive into an infuse, is this possible via the included software? or touchdown?
or do you have experiences that would lead you do suggest a different software, or a different phone all together?
I may have to wait to see if ATT will carry the HTC Titan since that will have a windows OS, but if the infuse will work well I may take the plunge sooner and wait for LTE devices to take hold for another couple years.
Thanks for any insight!!!

Outlook Web Access Apps

I used to be able to access my work email through Touchdown but once the company I work for upgraded to Exchange 2010, it no longer works. I've tried several different methods to no avail. Instead, I recently started searching for a few apps that I could install for Outlook Web Access and found two that could be what I'm looking for and both cost about $5. Unfortunately, they don't include a trial period similar to what Touchdown did. Has anyone used either of these apps and if so, please provide some insight on how they work, etc.? The reviews are ok but I'd like to see if anyone could provide some first-hand insight.

Thanks
EDIT: My mistake, I posted this in the wrong section. Trying to delete but it won't let me?
I am using Outlook web mobile but I cannot get it to notify me.
I know it says that if we can not outo login it will not work but does anyone have any work around that issue.
thanks
