Looks like WM 6.1 has added a new "feature" since WM 6.
WM 6.1 must have a database of mail servers and their mail server settings (although incomplete). When configuring a new email account which WM 6.1 has settings for (I used gmail), right after entering the email address and password, it says...
"Auto Setup found settings for:
<account name>
To complete setup and download e-mail, click Next."
Next is your only option, and it skips past the screen where you'd normally choose the account type (IMAP4 or POP3). I haven't found a way to change that value after the account's been created.
This is a problem if you use gmail, since they offer both POP3 and IMAP4 servers, but WM 6.1 defaults to POP3 only.
Anyone can test this, you can "make up" a email address/password.
Lame huh? Anyone know of a workaround or will this need to be "cooked" out?
thats in 6.0 too, i set up my gmail account that way the day i got my phone back in june, lol
in 6.0 theres a checkbox when you put your address in, if you uncheck the box it wont try to automatically get settings

Correctomundo.... that feature only works for a very few select email providers.
Are you guys using WM 6.1?
I'm aware of the check box you're talking about, but in no2chem's WM 6.1 rom the box doesn't show until the 2nd account config screen (and doesn't show at all if you start with a [email protected] address).
It's trying to be too damn smart.
Looks like no2chem is on the case!
From his realase notes for nueROM 2.0 build 5024:
Known issues:
GMAIL users are forced to use POP3 Email due to auto-detection
I haven't seen it mentioned if the issue is caused by WM 6.1 or something else in his nueROM 2.0. I hope I guessed right by not posting this in his nueROM 2.0 thread...
Nice to know I'm not hallucinating.
EDIT: apparently this issue's present in all WM 6.1 roms.

that sucks, guess ill have to hold off on 6.1 until it gets sorted
but why would they put it after you enter the address? it doesnt make sense to have to option to not use auto config after it autoconfigs, lol, is this an issue in the itself or in the 6.1 version of pocket outlook? hopefully its a result of the rom cooking, but i wouldnt put it past MS to do something dumb like that either, lol
just for clarity heres where it is in 6.0, before you even enter the email address

Yep, that's 6.0.
In 6.1 the first account config page asks for your email address and password only. If it doesn't recognize your email domain the next page will give you the option to have it "automatically" grab the settings, just like with 6.0. You get screwed if it recognizes your email's domain (so far only gmail.com that I've found), and you don't get the option to configure the server type yourself. Pretty dumb idea by MS, at least for us.
In the thread I linked to in my edit above, no2chem mentions the auto settings should be editable, but that's beyond me at this point. That thread also mentions that this WM 6.1 build is based on a beta from MS, so maybe a release version will make things better.
I just noticed gmail.com doesn't say their problem still exists with HTML emails + IMAP + WM. Are they working now?

yeah, in the 3.16 rom from sprint IMAP is working fine
now if gmail would just start using push-imap...
EDIT: i was just looking at my email settings and once an account is created you can still change email address and servers, just not the type of account (pop3, imap, exchange, etc) so if you put anything in the email so it wont automatically set it up you shoudl be able to change it to gmail afterward
in the account picker go to menu, then options, then select your account and you can go through an edit all the settings (in 6.0 anyway)

Hello everyone, this is for everyone who would like to get POP3 E-Mail working perfectly on there Hermes.
Model: X01HT
Boot loader: 1.09
ROM: RUU_HERMES_HTC_WWE_1[1].35.255.2_1.35.255.102_1.08.00.10_SHIP.EXE
Carrier: Softbank
Alright, you might have gotten MMS mail to work as I did and then you realized that there are some heavy limitations that correspond with the MMS setup; however there are none with POP3. So POP3 is the obvious choice because it can work with Softbank’s free internet connection without having to do some nifty proxy action to get your MMS mail to work (and we are not sure that part is free yet). Thankfully there is a solution but being a newb like I am it took me a while to figure it out, and I believe there are other newbs out there, so this HOWTO is for all the newbz like me.
All right.
#1. Get a Gmail account, or if you have a pop account with another internet provider this will work too! However, you still need a Gmail account so you can use their SMTP server and send E-Mail from your phone! Your current provider's sendmail server won't work due to your ISP's security restrictions! You need a public sendmail server and the obvious choice is Google... since it's free... makes sense? Just agree damnitt! Ok, get your gmail account at www.gmail.com
#2. Go into Pocket Outlook or "Messaging" on your X01HT!
- Click on
- "Menu" -=>"Tools" -=> "New Account"
- Now you are at "E-mail Setup 1/5"
- Type in your email account which people will see as your return email address
eg. [email protected]
or eg. [email protected]
- Now you are at the "Email Setup 2/5" Auto configuring
- It will do it's auto configuration so let it do it's thing
- Now "Email Setup 3/5" User Information
- Type in your name, people will see this name.
- Here is where it gets important, if you have a Gmail account, type in your username from your gmail account, if you are using your ISP's POP3 account, then type in your username from your ISP.
eg. cool
- On password of course type in your password from your Gmail account or your ISP's pop3 account, click on save password checkbox then click next.
- All right you are successfully on the "Email Setup 4/5" screen! WOO, that means you’re awesome.... I think, so... we are almost there. You should see something that says "Account Type: POP3" and name "Name this anything you want" then click on next.
- "Email Setup 5/5" is your heart beginning to beat fast... I know mine is.... I LOVE EMAIL... It’s so friggen exciting! OKKKK here we go... onto one of the final steps.
- Under "Incoming Mail:" write your mail server's name, if it is Gmail, then type, "pop.gmail.com:995" (995 is the port you are connecting on), if it is your own E-mail POP3 server from your own internet service provider usually it is just connecting on the default POP3 port of 110 and so you just need to type in your pop3 server.
eg. pop.interbaun.com
- Under Outgoing mail server this HAS TO BE LIKE THIS, because there are VERY few free mail servers in the world and Google just happens to be one of them, so I would highly recommend getting a Gmail account for this because.... it is free, free=good and "="=Softbank. HA ... never mind... OK… here we go... to continue the most step by step email setup in history... ok ... here we go..
- "Outgoing Mail: smtp.gmail.com:465"
- Click -=> "Options" (Options 1/3) then Click -=> "Next" -=> (Options 2/3) then this is important, if you are completely on Google, and you are using a google email address to pop, then you must click on "Require SSL Connection" but if you are using your ISP's email address then do not click on the checkbox.
- Click on "Outgoing Mail Requires"
- Click on "Use Separate Settings"
- Click on "Outgoing Settings"
- Type in your Gmail username under "Username"
- Type in your Gmail password under "Password"
- Click on the checkbox "save password"
- Click on "Require SSL for outgoing Mail"
- Click on "OK" in the top right hand corner of the friggen LCD screen damnitt
- Click on "Next" You will then see a message box and within the message box is "Get message headers only", you can change this to "Get full copy of messages" but... I don't, I really don't see any reason too, because we all get friggen spam and there will be an option below each email to download a full copy of the email if we want...so really there is no point cuz if you look underneath it, it will say in a checkbox "Include 2KB of message body" which is more than enough to get a good idea of what is going on..... Anyways.... yer done...
- Click on "Finish"
This has been brought to you just cuz, for some reason I had a seriously huge problem figuring this one out, anyways, hope this can help some people, and If you have any comments or questions, feel free to message me, it never hurts to help . And..... umm.. ya... gnite'!

Mail limit
Thanks for the guide, but i am running into a small problem. I am only able to retreive the first 275 messages in my gmail account. Is there a limot in mobile outlook that I can change? Thanks
keep getting Incoming e-mail password
@kilihari -
i followed your set to setup gmail and defined a POP3 gmail. i tried to connect to the gmail and did a send/receive from the mail Menu option. then i keep getting the Incoming E-mail password screen. retype the username and password, it did not retrieved my gmail e-mail
please advice.
Very good explanation Kilihari! Great work.
I was wandering though how would this affect the phone bill if you dont have the flat rate unlimited internet?
I want to keep my bill as low as possible, so although I got the Gold plan from the promotion I didn't get any internet package.
solve own problem:
after you have completed Kilihari's POP3 setup how to guide. you need to sign on to your gmail account, from there select Setting, select Forwarding and POP configuration option. make sure you Enable POP gmail setting.
Any chance to configure Gmail in order to have the emails sent from your Hermes (using the Gmail SMTP) appear in the sent folder of the gmail web interface ? Would be perfect...
Reply to the last post about Gmail.
No, when you send from gmail then it will always make the email appear like it was sent from Gmail, I have not found a workaround. So I called my internet provder at home here and I am allowed to send from my Japan internet provider from my Keitai. So that was cool, but the best workaround that I can say to do would be to have Gmail forward all the email back to your email address that is on your keitai (hermes).

Hi All,
I need some decent add-ins for outlook mobile. The limitations of this program baffle me! Does anyone know where I could get some decent add-ins that would allow me to flag messages etc. or is there a different email manager you recommend?
Ta
Which OS are you using? WM5 or WM6? In WM6, Pocket Outlook does a lot more...
WM6 . . . but it doesnt seem to have` much added functionality?
I've been looking for how to flag my outlook emails and it says it's now supported in WM6 and I've even found sites with screenshots showing a 'Follow-up' option that when you select a email appears in the menu.
However I don't see it in my menu and the best reason I can come up with is that it requires the Exchange Server be running the 2007 version and I think my office is still running 2003.
Can anyone confirm, Exchange 2007 is a requirement to be able to see the Follow-up > Flag options appear in our menu?

Hi. Yes.. I'm using Exchange 2007 and you can flag messages in your inbox for follow up (but you can't set any reminders - only flag the message).
You can also view your e-mail in HTML format.

Since I upgraded to WM6 I am not using it anymore but FLEXMAIL 2007 might be able to help you out? Link: http://www.pocketinformant.com/products_info.php?p_id=mail&dir=wm

Hi,
I'm using PDAViet Transformer 1.1, which I just installed last night and it's working wonderfully. However, I have a question regarding Gmail IMAP. I have configured Gmail on my phone with server imap.gmail.com but when I receive a message and open it, it comes out with a blank page. In the real Gmail, this particular message has like 13 replies but it wouldn't show on my phone.
Do I need to install something else here? coz I read somewhere that it needs J2ME, which I dun think it's included with Transformer 1.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thx
It turns out that I'm not the only person who's having this problem... I guess it's not 100% implemented yet or still buggy...

You're actually referring to two different methods to get Gmail. Your first paragraph mentions setting up Gmail manually using IMAP settings. Your second paragraph refers to J2ME, which is required to run the Gmail java client that actually resides on your device.
You first need to be sure to "enable" IMAP by logging into your Gmail account from your desktop browser. Here is some more info on how to do that. Here is some general information on Gmail and IMAP settings.
*edit* I checked out the link you posted and did some more searching regarding that Gmail issue. It appears that most if not all WM users have that problem. They can see the email body when it's sent as text, but not if it's sent as HTML. One possible solution that I haven't seen anyone discuss is trying the java client rather than setting it up manually. You may just want to give that a try and see if that resolves the problem. They also have these setup instructions specifically for WM6.
Mines working fine...
In Outlook, set up a new account, enter user name, uncheck the box. Follow the instructions, and enter imap.gmail.com:993 and IMAP4 as the type,
smtp.gmail.com form the smtp sending. Both connections require SSL.
edit: Just realised I wrote exactly what the link above says...
Or just stick with the Java App, like i do. Works perfectly fine...
Will GMail ever work properly!
I made the mistake of moving my domain to googles hosted service.
All well and good but if you use WM, you are buggered.
The Java app doesnt work for this service ( called google apps or Gafyd )
You can use a dedicated app only on a Blackberry!
and finally get a decent way with IMAP and and and . of fik it. whats the use .
I will wait for things to improve!

I put the bold around the item that I missed before when I configured it the first time. I don't know if this was the result of the change. But I can see the body of my messages now, so I'm happy with it.

Hey Fellows,
SendReceiveAll is just a small program that i created for my own use. In default Windows Mobile client, if you have multiple email accounts and they are set to manual download, like it is with me, While checking mail you need to go to each account and click send and receive. This is a bit tedious.
SO this program, which is a small, no-gui, .net cf app does so. It calls send and receive for all outlook email accounts. This way you can tap it once and then wait for your emails to finish loading at their own pace.
Its a very simple start and i haven't done anything profound with it. Its just an idea that clicked me.
Suggestions and Ideas are welcome from all of you
Thanks!
UPDATE : Here is the link to cab file for this utility. I haven't tested it so cant say about how reliable it is. Thanks to post&telecommunications to make and post it
SendRecieveAll v.1 Cab File
PS: It seems that this doesn't works if you have multiple IMAP accounts. The problem I think happens because IMAP accounts cannot be updated in "Background, Asynchronously". So If thats the case with you, I am sorry, I don't have any solutions right now. I will see if anything can be done about it
Thanks. Works like a charm
Glad to know that you found it useful
Yeah, I've found it a bit tricky to check all my accounts.
For further development, is it possible that you can implement a progressbar that shows, when an account is ready and maybe a dialog that shows how many emails are downloaded per account?
Yeah, I was also having these things in my mind right at the time of developing this version and i am working on these. Actually the method i use to call the sync facility of messaging application is not synchronous , ie. my app doesnt get to know when did the messaging app finished. It gets control back immediately. So i'll have to find a better way to do that. Thanks for the suggestion
Manilla sync data
Thanks for the progy! It would be nice to have this integrate with the Manila "Sync Data" button under settings, Currently this only works for syncing Activesync, but the description does say "and Internet data"
Is any software for Send only?
Is any application for Pocket Outlook, when I want only Send (not Send and Receive)?
Nice application - some suggestions
Great little application! I’ve been wanting something like this for ages – I didn’t want to set my mail accounts to send and receive every 10 or 30 minutes, I wanted them to sync when I picked up the phone and pressed a button – now I can do it without going to my gmail, yahoo, hotmail and Exchange Server pages separately!
As others have pointed out – having something that said mail account 1 of 4 synchronising would be good for progress – at the moment I don’t know whether I’ve got no emails or it hasn’t worked correctly.
If you are going to end up adding options to this, then auto disconnecting the data connection when all mail boxes are synchronised would save me another button press!
Making it work directly from send/receive in Manila is a great suggestion from ‘anothersmith’ – in the mean time I can’t get it to assign to the programs tab in Manila or via Hbutton – it doesn’t pick it up…..?
Good work.
Splelling errror!!
The reason I'm struggling to get the Hbutton to assign via the registry is that the .exe file is spelt incorrectly!
You've got it as SendRecieveAll.exe
Hbutton thread that shows registy values if anyone wants it for now http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306794&page=2
Usefull application...thanks lot..
By the way ...i got problem coz im use diferent network (3g ,home and wifi)..i should sett the smtp manually before clickthis
great effort
Hi Friends,
Sorry for delay in response i was out of town Thanks for all the great responses. So i guess these are the changes i should try to implement :
1. Visual Notification of the progress and optional data disconnection at the end.
2. Integration with Manilla Sync.
3. Option to send only.
@brandall: If you add a sound to "New Email" notification in Start>Settings>Sounds and Notifications applet, you will recieve a standard notification from the messaging app about the newly recieved emails automatically. I get it on my phone.
@all: Since i only have a HTC Gene at my disposal, i cannot experiment with TouchFlo 3D features. I guess you people are talking about the sync button on tf3d, right? So can anybody tell me the integration procedure for touchflo 3d, i mean the registry keys and all.
I have 3 IMAP accounts, but it only sends/receive the last one
By the way, your app is a great idea!
I have exactly the same. 6 IMAP and it sends / receives only the last one.
Idea is great. Please correct the problem.
Oh, i didn't test it on imap, and i just returned from a long tour. I will look into it asap.
I think that the solution is to make the application aware of the synchronization status on outlook, which apparently can't send and receive from different IMAP accounts at the same time..
But it's only a personal hypothesis since I don't have the foggiest idea of how to program.
it will be greate to make gui with send/recive all... sen all ... recive alll
Hi Great app
one question, can run background? or hiden whith screen off?
i use another app to trigger the send/recieve mail by sms.
thanks
Hey Krazy - any update on this?

thank you for this wonderful piece of work.
PLEASE READ THE OP! YOU MAY NOT THINK SO, BUT THERE IS INFORMATION HERE THAT MAY SAVE YOU TIME AND HEADACHES!
This is a flashable zip of the Galaxy Tab email app for 2.2.1 Roms. It does not work properly with exchange in 2.2 Roms, so please do not use if you are on a 2.2 Rom and need to use exchange. If you do not use exchange and are on a 2.2 or 2.2.1 Rom, it will work fine!
HISTORY: This app was ported to the Vibrant last year and was modded by XDA member, 'smoothone' who fixed the resolution for the Vibrant. Before that, the app was too large for the lower resolution Vibrant screen. It had many problems for exchange users which were only resolved when Froyo 2.2.1 was released. This app has extraordinary functionality, including multi-delete and support for all versions of exchange. It doesn't exactly support 'push' for corporate exchange accounts, but you can set it to sync on an interval of five minutes.
It has been tested and reported working perfectly in both Bionix Frost, Simply Galaxy/Sweet Honey, and Bi-Winning all 2.2.1 Roms. If you encounter any problems, please be clear in describing what exactly is going wrong. Screenshots are in the second and third posts below.

Thanks to krad42 we now have a version with security removed! He can explain it better than me.
I was sick of using pin mode to unlock my phone every time I locked it. Keep in mind there is a purpose of the security tools, prevent unauthorized access and remote wipe incase your phone gets lost. I am actually using delay lock app from market with this setup so that the phone will prompt for pin after a set period of time, but not every time I close out. Go ahead and make a flashable if you would like, hopefully it will be useful for others. Be safe, follow krad's advice and use the 'DelayedLock' app from the Market!

Seems like exchange issues are dependant on the version of the exchange server that someone is synching with. I had all kinds of issues when my job had exchange 2007. Now they are running 2010 and I have not had any issues with stock or tab versions.

I saw in another post that you have one that gets by the security lock tool. Can you post that version.
Thanks

Yes, I can. That one is the stock version however. I think I can find it although it is not in a flashable. If you need it that way, let me know.
XDA member, djmz, modded this one.

Raymond, do you use it with Trigger without any issues?

Sorry it took me so long to reply, but I can't connect in Firefox for some reason today either on Windows or Ubuntu and IE isn't working so fast either although it is working. Anyway, sad to say I don't know of a Tab version with the security disabled. There were two tools able to do that made for use with HTC phones. Other devs modded those applications and got it working for other devices. Problem was no one managed to do it for the Galaxy Tab version that I know of. It was about that time that Froyo 2.2.1 was released and all efforts seemed to die out. I did try to contact smoothone and let him know there was a tool to remove security, but he had received a ban from XDA and was unreachable. Another user posted that he was leaving xda after his ban. If you have the ablility, I can put you in touch with those threads tonight if you want to take a crack at modding it for the Tab version.
Edit: I'll try looking into it tomorrow also, but I can make no promises of success.

Yes I do, but I don't use exchange. I use it to access both my yahoo and gmail accounts. The only strange thing that happens is I get an error message when I use the app while connected to my wifi, but all the emails load anyway.
If you have the threads handy I'll take a look.
Thanks
is there a certain way you have to set this up? i went to setup my yahoo and it keep giving me invalid username or password...

I had very little chance of finding this again but luckily I came by my old post to, smoothone. That link is the ticket to one of those apps I told you about. I'll try for the other one tonight!
I don't know where you are on this, but I think I've found something else you could use to solve the exchange problems with the Galaxy Tab once and for all. [APP] **Updated 12/27/2010** Email.apk - Gingerbread src code w/o Exchange security I guess the idea is to remove the ability of the app the look for a security code. I don't know, it's all French to me, LOL!

I tried to pm you, but that wouldn't go through. If you do anything with this, let me know. It would be nice to have this app working for those using exchange on what is now called the 'Obsidian' Rom again!

Edit: Found it! This is the thread where that stock app with the security removed originated. Djmz, I think did it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655649

Thanks for the link, I was able to get the new tab email client working with no security policy getting pushed down. Confirmed working on Sweet Honey Exchange server 2010. Modified client attached for anyone that wants to try it out.

Sorry I missed you post earlier. I used to get that error message when connected to wifi on my yahoo account. I just checked, and I don't get it anymore. (Strange) I would try deleting your yahoo account on the phone and going to menu>setting>applications>manage applications>all tab> scroll down to account and sync settings (actually it's third in the list on my phone) tap that and delete any cache and data (if there is any). Then scroll down to the email app and delete cache and data for that (there definitely should be some). Then reboot and reset your yahoo account. Let me know if that works.
Edit: Sorry I forgot all about Imap! Something changed when setting up yahoo in android from my last rom to this one. I had the instructions in my file the whole time. The setup menu on the phone will take you through the incoming server settings first (incoming server,then incoming port, then check a box for 'ssl' required...) and then you can set up the outgoing server settings.
IMAP is another way you can get Yahoo! Mail on your phone. Using IMAP you can download messages with your mobile client, so you can access your mail even when not connected to the mobile Internet.

How to set up Yahoo! Mail with your mobile client using IMAP
On your phone, press < Home >, then open the Email application.
On the 'Your accounts' page, select Next to get started with setup.
Enter your full Yahoo! address and password, then select Next.
On the next screen, you can give the account a nickname and choose the name to display on your outgoing messages. Tap Done.

If prompted, supply the following information:
Incoming Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL)
Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL)
Username: full email address ([email protected])
Password: is the password you login to Yahoo! with

You certainly are fast! You know, I pm'd several devs about doing what you did today and never got a reply. Thank you so very much! I have a question though: Since you had no problems with the original or stock versions with exchange 2010 why did you want a version minus the security feature? And, do you mind if I place you .apk in a flashable zip and offer it to 2.2 users for testing (I'll make sure to credit you). Security wasn't the only problem with the Tab email unfortunately. I'd like to get some feedback from exchange users still on 2.2 Roms.
I was sick of using pin mode to unlock my phone every time I locked it. Keep in mind there is a purpose of the security tools, prevent unauthorized access and remote wipe incase your phone gets lost. I am actually using delay lock app from market with this setup so that the phone will prompt for pin after a set period of time, but not every time I close out. Go ahead and make a flashable if you would like, hopefully it will be useful for others.
