Is there anyway to check multiple POP3 email accounts in the default Inbox program (PPC 2002) without it disconnecting after it sends/receives messages for an individual account? I could use a 3rd party email program but I like the way Inbox syncs quite well with Outlook on the desktop.

Yes the trick is to not use Inbox to connect with your ISP, connect with connection manager instead. 8)

Thanks for the tip - it works! I was auto-connecting in Pocket Explorer which doesn't work.

You're welcome and to make it even easier to connect you might want to
purchase Spb GPRS Monitor, it place an icon on your taskbar which has a connect option. Its what I use! 8)

Has anyone figured a way around this yet?
I'm trying to setup my accounts with gmail via IMAP, but when setting up a new account (not through outlook), and I punch in the gmail address, it auto-detects settings for pop and won't let me change it.
And before anyone says anything, the checkbox to "don't auto get settings" doesn't exist in the WMv6.1.
The only way I have of setting it up currently, is to give it an email of [email protected], then going in and setting it up manually, but this prevents me from sending email out, only receiving it.
Currently using DCD v3.0.4 if that makes a difference.
Anyone found a way around this or how to set it up yet?
Thanks!
just set it up ac [email protected][COLOR="Red"]gg[/COLOR]mail.com and then change later to "gmail"

make sure you select outgoing server requires authentication (or something like that) and SSL for both incoming and outgoing
what is advantage of IMAP over pop mail?

In short IMAP uses a client/server model. Where all your email is kept on the server and cached on whatever IMAP client you're using. When you delete something on the client, it's deleted on the server too on next resynch. IMAP also supports organized e-mail sub folders (for organizing).
With POP mail, once you download an email(s), then those emails are unavailable to you from other clients you may want to connect with (such as a desktop email client or a different computer), since with POP the email is usually removed from the server on download (unless you have a POP setting to keep e-mail around x amount of days). But POP will have no idea of emails you may have moved/deleted on another client since with POP all that information is stored locally on the client, not on the server as it is with IMAP.
Also, some IMAP servers support something called IMAP idle, which is like a poor mans push mail.

Thank you. thought I tried this before but maybe they changed the "edit" screen.
Newbie here having trouble with Remote Tracker 0.4.2-0 on my TMOUS HD2 and haven't found an answer yet. When I send email commands to RT, such as rt2#egp, my phone just sits there in standby and when I unlock it Outlook is open with the email message ready to send. Anyone have an idea why and what I need to do? When I go to Outlook Contacts>Menu>Options I get an error report, "A problem has occurred with poutlook.exe," then comes up with List view settings, that's it, I don't know if there is supposed to be more and not sure if this has anything to do with the message not being sent. Everything is stock except for a few added apps and I just did a hard reset before reinstalling my apps after some experimentation. I don't use Outlook or even set up an email account on phone and haven't made any tweaks I can think of that would effect Outlook.
I also noticed that the CELLID shows me to be in New Jersey when I'm actually in Texas, this doesn't seem to be of much use at all but I haven't tried changing CELLID settings from default.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I thought commands where you supply an email address (like, rt2#egp#[email protected]#password) would, if so configured, silently without intervention send to the supplied email addy without even having email setup in RT; however, I do have the email account in RT configured; I do not have Outlook, AOL, Yahoo, etc accounts set up in the HD2s mail app (I use Opera to go to my Hotmail account).
In RT's email setup I have only one option under Account, Activesync, is this correct?

no, you need an actual account set up that the phone can use to connect to an outgoing email server with. Just feeding it the email address you want to use is no good, as it has no m,eans to send to that address. Its a bit like giving a man with no telephone your phone number ad asking him to call you.
Choosing the activesync account wouldnt help either, as it would only send when the phone was copnnected and synced to outlook on a pc. (activesync isnt a real account, just an extension of teh outlook account on eth pc)
I know that we can export the contacts from outlook to a .csv file and push it to google and sync it from there, but this is not what I want. I have custom fields, as well as pictures for my contacts that won't get exported via .csv method. Besides, I want to keep my gmail and outlook contacts separate as I have millions of email contacts in gmail that I don't need in my phone contacts list.
Is there a way to directly sync contacts with Outlook with Atrix?
If you're using Exchange via ActiveSync, that would probably work. Touchdown is another alternative. But I don't believe there is a device <-> desktop sync available. If you don't have too many contacts (under 250) you can use Soocial to sync from Outlook to their server to your phone.
I was actually looking for a device <--> phone sync (it's a local outlook address book, not an exchange server) but I will check Soocial, thanks.
Easy and free.
Soocail
I don't see the Atrix 4g on their selection of Motorola's?
IMHO, the best contact/calendar sync is Funambol. It's open source, with SyncML clients for just about every computer and mobile phone OS on the market. I use it to sync my contacts and calendar with Outlook on home and work PCs, and on two mobile phones, including Atrix.
The sync is done through a Funambol server. You can make your own private server with a web-connected PC or NAS, or you can use the MyFunambol cloud server.
Best of all, Funambol is FREE for individual users.
I sync outlook with my device using MyPhoneExplorer, and MyPhoneExplorer client on the ATrix. Both are free, and work great!!
Hope this helps.
How can these cloud services sync desktop or mobile Outlook contacts with Android if the fields and field names are different in two systems? Some exist in one and don't exist in the other... Google let's you name your phone numbers, Outlook does not....
I will 2nd MyPhoneExplorer is awesome free app. It gives you Wifi access to both phone memory and ext. sd card...so you can drag and drop files or browse.
You can sync to outlook, thunderbird, and others.

Myphoneexplorer was fine for a while then completely screwed my appointments. Would delete appoinments everytime I added a new one then copied all google appointment to outlook appointments! When i deleted them from outlook it then deleted them from google. Uninstalled.
I have my phone setup to sync my Outlook contacts, calendar and e-mail via ActiveSync and my Hotmail account. This appears on the phone as a Corporate Exchange account using MS servers, but in reality it is just the Hotmail cloud (no Exchange client). It works fine for me (although contact photos only sync from Outlook to phone, not vice-versa), but I have a problem with contacts I create on the phone. There is no way to assign them to an account so they end up not syncing to my Outlook, which only syncs contacts bearing the corporate symbol or that have been joined from Facebook to an existing Outlook contact. I've looked all over and not found any way to either create a contact on the phone under a specific account or to convert one after the fact. The only workaround I have found is to create a new contact in Outlook with the same name, wait until it syncs to the phone, then join it with the existing contact on the phone. This is obviously not optimal. Any ideas?
I'm looking for information on this as well.
In my case, my calendar, contacts, (tasks?) and email are all being syncronized via corporate exchange. I try to use my corporate exchange as my base point, so I would like to keep my contacts there by default.
When creating a new contact, I do not see how to designate where the contact is to be stored. I would think I would be given the option to save it under:
Exchange
Gmail
or phone.
I thought this used to be an option, but I'm not seeing it under the latest Unamed ROM.
Has this option been removed? or am did I ever have that option?
I have a suggestion but I'm not sure it's exactly what you're looking for. I don't use exchange server email so I don't know if this is what you need.
I sync all of my contacts and calendar to Outlook using MyPhoneExplorer. you can get the app for free in the market and download the program directly to your computer (do a google search to find their website to download the desktop version). If your phone is on the same (wifi) network as your computer you can even sync wirelessly. It syncs perfectly in both directions - phone to computer and vice versa.
hope this helps.
I've also heard that the Kies program works. It can be downloaded from the Samsung website.
Under sync settings, I unchecked the contacts sync for Gmail so now by default all new contacts are saved to Exchange.
Found it,
Maybe NOT synching the Gmail account, made this option available but suspect it was just buried deeper than I remember.
I thought this used to be a context option.
In Contacts
Settings (leftmost key button)
More
Settings again (bottom of list)
Save new contacts to.....
Now, what was that darn password I needed to save again....?
Oh-Yeah, Netflix....
Iqak, that did the trick. I knew I was able to do that before, but why I couldn't find it before is beyond me. Thanks.

I use to use MPE on my Captivate and it was a bit of a pain. I also had issues with it losing contacts and/or scrambling them up. Using ActiveSync with Outlook is the best way and thanks to Iqak I have it working as it should.
I'd like to use my gmail account connected via exchange activesync. I set that up with various email apps and it works nicely.
The only problem is that I don't use my gmail address as my known email address. I have an alias that points to gmail. When I email people, I want that alias to show as the email and reply to addresses.
When I have everything set up via IMAP/SMTP, I'm able to do that with K9.
Unfortunately, when connected via the Activesync way and I send mail, it always shows my gmail address to the recipient.
Is there any way/app that would allow me to do what I want?
I do have my alias set up as a send mail as option in the gmail web interface.

Bump. I've tried a bunch of different apps. Looks to me that when you use activesync, Google hardcodes your Gmail address as the From address.
If anyone finds anything different, please share.
Back to Gmail's broken implementation of imap. Maybe one day they'll start to push read flags.
