Hotmail folders using stock android kitkat app - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any ideas as to why when I create a new email folder on my hotmail account on a PC, it doesn't appear in the folders on my android app (stock kitkat email app)? Any way to refresh the folder list? I can find emails contained in any 'new' folder by searching for them on the android app, but I'm unable to actually get to the newly created folder.
Same happens when i delete a folder using my PC on my hotmail - the folder isn't deleted (or at least still appears) on the email app.
Many thanks for any help you can offer.

Workaround for other emails (hotmail or yahoo)

1. Register to your gmail account that you use with your phone
2. Go to your email app and refresh - load the first 50 msgs in your email
3. Go to settings>sony ericsson> Email
4. Change the login info to your yahoo or hotmail account
5. Change your incoming and outgoing servers (for yahoo its imap.mail.yahoo.com and for outgoing its smtp.mail.yahoo.com)
6.Set encryption for in/outgoing to none (ports will automatically change)
7. Verify Settings (should say that settings are verified)
8. go to your email and voila ~ your hotmail or yahoo mail works on your mini.
for the record this is for android 1.6 (donut)
in android 2.1 (eclair) you can simply fill in your hotmail or yahoo email
or... just use k-9, which supports multiple accounts =p
Email.apk
Hi guys
I have found a email replacement app which is much better in my opinion.
It has a modern look and you can different exchange accounts, hotmail, gmail and other.
Once you add the different accounts you can view a combined inbox where each account has it's own color. Very neat app in my opinion.

The app works on the 2.1 ROM (it will not work for 1.6). I did the following : (You need root to install this app)
- Download the email.apk from the link
- Put the file on your SD card
- Open Root explorer (can be found on the market if you don't have it)
- go to /system/app/
- rename SemcEmailSmall.apk to SemcEmailSmall.apk.bac (you create a backup of the file)
- go to /sdcard
- find the file email.apk
- long press on the file and choose move
- go back to /system/app/
- choose paste
- click on the email.apk and choose install
After that you can close Root explorer and open the app and configure your e-mails.
Good luck.

Try This:
1. WhatsApp stores a backup of all conversations in the SD Card. It can be accessed by doing the following:
1. Install a File Manager such as Astro File Manager, on BlueStacks
2. Navigate to sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases/
3. The message history backups are stored here. Click down on the file msgstore.db.crypt,
select Copy from the options that come up. Navigate to
/sdcard/bstfolder/bstSharedFolder/ and paste the file.
4. This file can now be accessed on the PC by navigating to
C:/ProgramData/BlueStacks/UserData/SharedFolder.
2. Now the messages can be accessed by decrypting the databases (this link tells you how)
I Don't Know That Whether It'll Work Or Not. [Do At Your Own Risk. ]
This worked for me
1. Explore your phone files on your PC, search for whatsapp messages in something like this: phone/whatsapp/databases
2. Upload the last created message database you found to your Dropbox or Drive account
3. Install file manager HD in bluestack (This App allows you to copy/delete files from SD and cloud servers/dropbox)
4. Make sure to uninstall whatsapp from bluestack before you do next step
5. In the file manager HD identify the database you upload in dropbox
6. Install whatsapp, before they ask your phone number do the next step
7. In file manager hd move the message file from dropbox to SDcard/whatsapp/databases
8. Put phone in whatsapp and it will ask you to recover messages, accept, and it should work
while updating the bluestacks whatsapp, i changed my profile name and now no old history is available... how to get my old chat history, Please help.
better idea is install file manager make a zip file of watsapp folder and paste it to /sdcard/bstfolder/bstSharedFolder/
find that zip file on your pc from C:/ProgramData/BlueStacks/UserData/SharedFolder and paste it in your phone and extract it to your internal directory and done

[Q] Need an app that will sync a file w/ dropbox after modified in /data/data folder

I basically want to sync this one file with dropbox every time it is modified on the phone
/data/data/com.example.test/shared_preferences/test.xml
Obviously it is in the android application data folder so it would require root. Every syncing app I have downloaded will not allow me to do this. Any ideas?
