sync sms folders from xda with active sync - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

1. can this be done - xda allows manage folders to select folder for syncing but then it does not work through to outlook win CE inbpx transfer in outlook does not seem to be able to allow manual transfer of messages
Q - how do you store received and sent SMS? possible
2. have run the sms fix - seems fine when first receive sms but when you review the sms messages in received folder it nows shows phone numbers rather than contact name - have i installed badly or does it only show linked contact name when first received?

The outlook ce transfer doesn't work with sms unfortunately. I have been trying ways to export sms and its all linked to a hidden databases folder that you can't seem to access.
Outlook and active sync, etc only deal with email related messages. I assume this is fixed at the outlook end rather than the xda end. But doubt much will be done.
Sms fix for me displays the name within my inbox, but only on messages recieved since the update occured, previous messages were unaffected, as expected. If your device doesn't show the name of received texts i'd say try to reinstall.

thanks pete2you - shame but i agree - more things that could make xda good
ie link an appoinment with a contact - ie make xda more integrated like outlook. we live in hope
cheers

SMS People

Has anyone noticed (2.1 HTC OTA Link) that if you accidnetly synced your gmail contacts, you can unsync them from you main call people but there is no way to remove them from when you compose a new text message and pull up your sms people. I also had an issue with the sms people duplicating my activesync contacts. The only resolution I could figure out was to export all of my contacts out of gmail and resync, empting those, and import back and choose option not to sync. Likewise for Outlook. I would prefer to keep my outlook syncing because if I add a new contact I want it to be stored off the phone somewhere. Also, program in market Delete Contacts, said it deleted my contacts but actually did nothing. Thoughts? Fourth day with Droid Eris so wouldn't be surprised I've fouled.

How do i get Gmail folders working?

I know how to set up my gmail inbox working with outlook but how do i get my folders working? for example i have certain emails in my saved folder, but it's always empty.
one solution is to get Gmail for mobile - separate app in java, works ok under jblend, folders supported
In you Gmail settings via your computer, is your settings/Forwarding and pop/imap on?
There are configuration settings for other mail handlers in there too.
When you go to the mobile and you are at the mail (No Mail etc) on the Gmail click on the in box, then menu, send receive. This will then pull in all the folders that you are showing on the computer Gmail. So they are now on the mobile.
Folders
I cant view email in folders either, I have IMAP switched on and I have filters which skip my inbox to sort email but only my inbox mail is visible - I can see my folders but they are empty....
Any solutions?
Cheers!

Same with activesync or imap - folders all show, but only inbox contains emails. If I move an email to another folder it correctly moves it in gmail, but as soon as sync'd disappears from folder on phone. Would be good to see all emails, but I assume this is specifically blocked (to avoid you accidentally downloading 7GB of emails to phone!)

K9 Mail Duplicate emails

I have recently started using K9 mail, but have come across an issue of duplicate emails. I will receive them in both the inbox and in the folder I have them filtered to. For example, I have created a filter in gmail to send all emails from family into a folder called "Family". When I receive them in K9 Mail, it says there are 2 emails. The email shows up in the inbox folder and in the "Family" folder. I must view/delete them separately. Is there any way to have the mail just show up in the "Family" folder only or even vice versa (in the inbox)?

Sounds like something funny on the server end to me, I've never seen this happen.. What provider or server is in use, and is it IMAP or POP?
Does this also happen with the stock app?
I am currently using Gmail via IMAP. To be honest, I have not checked the stock app or the Gmail app to see it happens with those programs also. I should do that I guess. lol.
I actually restored some old settings and don't notice the problem any longer (thank goodness for Titanium Backup - which I didn't think about until after I set up my folders again).
Now I have another problem. I have noticed that sometimes when I send an email, it will send multiple versions of the draft out as well as the final draft. For example, grafts are automatically saved in gmail every so many minutes. Well if it takes me 20 minutes (I know, that's a long time - lol) to send out the email, all the saved versions of the draft are sent out also. This can be quite troublesome if I completely reword or delete sections of the email before I send out the final version. Any clues as to why or how this is happening? Thanks in advance.
Im not happy with K9 mAIL...it downloads email that i have already downloaded on my laptop the previous day too...is there a setting to get it to only download emails for the present day??

delete contents of inbox

hi all,
lumia 800
can anyone shed any ideas as to why my email inbox empties a day or so after reading, my sent folder is intact just the inbox empties all read mail
voith
I see 45 people have read this query, with no solution so instead I will ask is this normal, does everyones inbox empty by itself after a short period of time.
Try this: go into email settings -> synchronisation settings -> Download email from - then select a longer time.
Cheers
Do you also download your e-mails to your PC or Laptop? Then it is normal for the inbox to show up empty because those messages are no longer available. The sent messages are stored locally on your phone and not in your normal sent mailbox with your e-mail server.
"Do you also download your e-mails to your PC or Laptop" Yes
"Then it is normal for the inbox to show up empty because those messages are no longer available" Depends on how you setup email account, if you use IMAP instead of POP3 then your inbox would be available across al your devices.
Cheers

thanks all for your replies,in the synchro I have it downloading from anytime, though it made no difference, regarding the above quote, I was not downloading my mail on another computer as I wanted all mail to go to my phone and stay there as it was a dedicated addys, I lived with the deletions until I desperately needed a recent received email, and found it had already been deleted, so in the end I had to add the account to my home comp to download the mails so that I could save them, since I have started to download them to my main comp, it has not altered the time taken to delete its always a few days.
oh and I am running pop3

Stock email app - how to move messages from sent to Outlook?

All,
I use Outlook to archive email messages. The problem is that on those rare occasions when I send an email from my phone, the outgoing message resides in my phone's Sent folder and not Outlook's.
So, my question is this: Is there some way to transfer the email message from my phone's Sent folder (there are currently around 40 messages) to Outlook? (Once they are anywhere within Outlook, I can easily move them around.)
Thanks.
