Can one of you nice people explain to me on how I set up my emails to sync together. My host site who has my domain and website have a £5.99 monthly charge for Outlook Sync, but I'm guessing if I don't want calendar and contacts and only Inbox and Sent items to sync up on phone and PC, then IMAP should do this? Is there any other difference??
I've tried IMAP on the phone but it only received two emails when there were 5 going to PC, Not only that but the second one overwrote the first one and it completely disappeared. And there was no copy in my sent box on the PC after replying from phone, and what do I need for security etc... None/SSL etc?
My PC is set up as POP, and is Outlook 2002 OK for this and if so please can you tell me how I do this? I really can't afford to mess up my emails in Outlook as it's work.
I set up a personal one in the GMail account in programmes really easily and that does what it says on the tin, but the other one is a nightmare,
Sorry, but you'll have to talk to me like an idiot, as I've never received email on my phone before, let alone Android phones.
Thanks for your help
Nobody can help?
Peter,
Are you asking how to have both your PC inbox/sent items look exactly like the inbox/sent items on your Hero?
As far as I know that's not possible unless you use IMAP on both PC and Hero - but I think you know that already.
Are you able to switch Outlook to IMAP (probably means re-creating the email account and copying mails around - I've forgotten how to do this in Outlook 2002)?
When you talk about the mails not corresponding between PC and Hero what do the POP3 settings look like on your PC? It's not doing anything silly like removing the mail, etc?
Sorry I don't have a specific answer to your question but I figure we can sort it out!
Regards,
mils
if your outlook is set to POP, have you set it to leave a copy of the message on the server (Somewhere in the email account settings, i can't remember where on 2002, but the help files are your friends in this case). if not, POP will REMOVE the message from the server when you download it to your PC. hence it will not be available on the phone.
change your outlook to imap, or set it to leave messages on the server and then you can have the same emails on the phone as on your PC. that is they way you have needed to do it to get this since pocket pc 2000.
Hi guys, thanks for your reply,
Obviously I don't want all the emails that are already in Outlook on the phone, but Basically, when I'm out I want to be able to answer emails that will have copies on the PC for when I get back, including the replys.
Even when PC was off I only got one to the phone, and the rest still went to PC when I switched on later. I thought if the PC was off, they would have come to the phone regardless?
My POP settings on Outlook are mail.mydomainname, smtp.mydomainname.
Does the 'leave copy of messages on server' work on IMAP and POP and if both, that wouldn't include replies from phone would it? Are there any disadvantages to leave copies on server? How does it work, when you get back and open outlook does it update sent items as well as the inbox?
al it does is leave the message on the server so that it is available for other devices, instead of being removed from the server.
you don;t need it for imap as imap leaves them in place anyway (or at least it usually does)
if you're using imap, then yes, you should get the sent items, but if using POP, then no, normally you wouldn't.
Thanks for that, any idea how I set up IMAP in Outlook, is it just a case of imap.domain name, smtp. domainname .... and it starts another folder inbox? What do you do with the POP one?
Hello bros.
My question is about the email tab and pocket outlook: I know that there is a bug in email tab, because it doesn't allow to delete emails from server and HD2 at the same time.
So we must do it directly from outlook or when we sync, the emails are redowloaded again...That's ok. Emails are not redownloaded when I sync my inbox.
The problem is that even if I follow this procedures, when I come back to my PC and I download my emails with the usual browser or app, the emails are not cancelled from servers and I find hundreds of emails in my inbox...
I do not know what to check to stop this behaviour...
any ideas?
(my pocket outlook has the flag on "delete emails on next connect/reconnect)
thx in advance
ahi ahi ahi
Despite my efforts, I confirm that I can not erase emails from the server using Pocket Outlook (let alone the HTC email tab of course.) I can just avoid the redownloading emails on my HD2 if I delete them directly from Pocket Outlook. Unfortunately, when I check my emails from my PC, they are always there...
maybe a problem of gmail or yahoo settings I have to do directly in the webmail?
I checked also this possibility, but I cannot figure out how... it seems to me that is everything fine...
so nobody has a solution or at least an idea of what to do?
thx
Anyone have any idea what might be the cause of this?
I Use Gmail and My University email, both sync to my notebook and my phone. Never had a problem with either before or after the 2.1 update until about a week or so ago. I use the stock X10 mail program (not the Gmail app) and all of the settings were not changed. The emails sync fine to my notebook so the mail providers are fine. I have it set to notify and check every 5 mins. I will get emails on my notebook and for hours it wont sync with my phone, until I actually go into the mail program.
I really hope to find some help with the problem. I can see a lot of related questions posted everywhere around the web without a solution.
It could be this is a well known problem and I just have to stop trying to fix it and wait for Samsung or Google to apply some fixes?
The problem is very simple. I have two email accounts: Hotmail and another one coming from my ISP using POP3 protocol (Home -ADSL2).
No matter what I do the Hotmail emails syncing without any problems but the other email doesn't update as per sync schedule. It works only if I sync it manually.
I have to add while my phone had 4.1.1 firmware I had both accounts auto-syncing.
Another thing is I tried enabling Auto Sync from the phone Settings>Data Usage without much effect. When it worked before, the auto sync was disabled and my Hotmail emails arrive with auto sync disabled anyway.
I really don't know what to try next. Could it be the problem with stock email client and I need to use a different client for that to work?
look at the section list and try again
Mods, can you please close the thread. Will post it in the other area.
hit "report" and ask for it to be moved
I am surprised no-one replied to the problem. Does it mean all people have their emails auto syncing just fine?
I mean ISP provided accounts, especially POP3 ones.
