Hi Guys
When i get email on my topaz everything works fine but when i go home and check email on my pc whatever email i received durning the day is repeated but when i look at the mail on my pc, its deleted automatically off topaz next time i send and receive is this right?.
What if i want to keep a email on my phone.
HELP !!!!!
Yes that's right. If you want the emails on your phone then synchronize them with your PC's outlook. Consider your email account on your phone as a temporary store, and your OUTLOOK inbox on your phone as your permanent store.
Ok tks for that.
Is there no way to change like the iphone if you receive it stays on phone till you delete it.?
Tks
What email are you using? POP IMAP exchange or hotmail?

Knowing that i am using Pop email, can I keep the mails on both units? the phone and the pc? i need to have the control over the emails so i can delete them when i need.
Thank you
If you set both your PC and your phone to leave messages on the server when you delete them it should work ok. You'll have to keep on top of your mailbox another way though, deleting the messages via web mail or moving the mails in to folders or something.

If you synchronize your Outlook email between your phone and your PC, then you will obviously have copies of your email on both devices and you can manipulate them to your heart's content.
Tks
Thanks Guys all sorted !!!!!!

Is there an e-mail application that has an option to leave the e-mail to the server? I mean not to delete them? Like Outlook Express has as an option?
Use an IMAP server - this leaves the messages on there unless you delete them and then synchronise on your device.
Also, you can leave them on the server whilst using the Pop3 protocol - it should be something like "delete messages immediately" - make sure this isnt ticked and it should work.
the mail account I have is just POP3... There is not such an option...
Anything else I could try?
Are you serious? The standard email application doesn't have an option to leave email on the server for POP3?
The inbox for Pop3 does not delete messages. It defaults to leaving it on the server. Unless of course you delete it and resync.
nPop
Why don't you try nPop (http://www.nakka.com/soft/npop/index_eng.html)
Theres is a version for Windows and a version for Pocket PC
To tell the truth I haven't set up an e-mail account yet because I have a problem with the sim card.. But since there was no option about leaving messages on server I assumed it didn't!!! So, am I wrong? :roll:
No problem
If you are using Pocket PC Outlook (Inbox), you don't have any problem: it does not retrieve the messages from the server anyway.
Try WebIS Mail - I've used it for months now and find it really good. As an additional bonus, it's available free right now from Handango:

Thnak you all for your answers... I am OK with the e-mals, since it doesn't delete them from the server!!! :lol:
Is it possible to sync the contacts on a certain address book folder of the PC?
Sync POP desktop Mail box with PPC POP mailbox
Hi all
I feel that I am missing someting when it comes to the revolution of portable mail.
I have a desktop with outlook that picks up / Sends mail over pop.
I have a MDAIII with pocket outlook that picks up mail / send over pop.
I have activesync that puts my desktop mail on my MDAIII in pocket outlook.
now all this is fine since I can send and recive from both devices.
The porblem arises for me in the concept,
When at home I do my mail, then go out and check my mail over MDA then I reply to a mail and send.
If I do this over the activesync account it stays in the outbox untill I sync which is logical.
If I do it over the pop account it sends it.
What I would like to find is a mail program that lets me sync my mail "Sent items" from my MDA with my desktop.
In short how can I sync my MDA pop acount with a local outlook PST file to incure that I can send / Recive and have my sent items uptodate on both the desktop and MDA?
PS: I am a privat user thus dont have a exchange server.
is there a software which checks emails via HTTP.....caz i wanna use a software which can download emails from my hotmail account on ma pda ...........ne ideas guys ????
thnx in advnc

My understanding of Hotmail is that it is a web based mail system. I think (but am not sure) that you can upgrade for a fee to pop which allows you to download your mail to a e-mail client such as outlook. This would then work with the built in e-mail client on your PDA after you set up your pop account.
Mail itself can be sent in HTTP or plain text.

Any emails deleted off Gmail server WILL disappear off your phone. Your phone is only a client to the server and reflects what is there. You would have to create a new 'folder' in Inbox such as 'Saved' on your WM device and copy them there (before you delete on the server) to save them.

would it be possible to save them into outlook on the phone? i tired to do that before, but i didn't see were you could move it from gmail to outlook unless you did it via active sync, but that means i'd have to be at a computer everytime. Or is there another program were i dont have to move an email everytime so it doesn't get deleted?

No, the mail client on WM devices is a very basic cut-down version compared to a PC, you can only move files within each service, not to and from services. There may be 3rd party app's out that do this.
Soz.
well i wont be able to create a new folder with gmail, because it doesn't allow you to, you can only create what's called "labels" so it looks like i may have to find a program that will allow me to keep the emails on my phone while i can delete them off the sever, any suggestions? preferably something free and easy to use. Or is there a way to use the outlook provided to receive the emails and keep them even if i delete them off the server similar to how desktop outlook works, w/o having to use active sync?

I don't personally as I prefer to use pop accounts that I have more control over. I am sure someone else on here will be able to help you with that.
One last thought, do you have another email account with Gmail (not used it myself but some of these give you more than one logon) or even set up another Gmail account called <username>backup and have your mail forwarded by your first to your second (via Gmail online settings) and then set the second up on your WM device also. When you delete from the first, the second will remain!
Just a thought!
Has anyone else experienced this? I have the tilt and it seems that if I leave an e-mail in the in box for a long time it eventually deletes itself. I had an e-mail with driving directions on it, I left it in my box until I needed it, when I went to view it, it was gone. This is not the first time I have noticed this.
Um, most of the time the emails are removed from the phone once the email has been checked from a computer. Email clients on a computer delete the mail from the server and pocket outlook doesn't.
Also, you will set, as an option, a specific amount of time to retrieve email.
If you want to save one specifically, save it to a different folder.

I didn't realize the PPC would delete e-mails from the inbox simply because they are not on the server anymore. That sux, once it's in my inbox it should stay there until I decide what to do with it.
Thanks though for the tip of moving it to another folder.
In the E-Mail setting there is an option you set for how far back you want to check your mail. Set it to all and your e-mail should remain in the inbox.

Aha!! That seems to be what I was looking for.....thanks Hawaiian!!
I've looked around a lot but I can't find this specific issue mentioned.
My Diamond currently syncs well with my outlook, which receives emails from a few accounts and aggregates them in one inbox. This is good because I'm able to take them with me anywhere.
What I want is for the Diamond to also be able to download mail from my gmail account - which it does without a hitch - but this means I won't get that email in my desktop inbox. When connecting the device and starting activesync, it will pull new messages from my desktop index, but instead of moving the gmail stuff to the desktop, it just deletes all messages completely and there's no trace of them anywhere.
Is there a way to attach an account to the "outlook inbox" so that the gmail mails I download are added to it instead of to a new account? If not, is there any way to synchronize that new account to my desktop inbox instead?
This sounds very trivial, but I can't get it to work.
I am using Dutty's latest ROM (3.6b).
Email settings...
Have a look in your email settings on your device for your gmail account. At the bottom of one of the pages you'll see underlined 'Advanced Settings'. Tap on this and change the setting to 'Leave on server'. This way, you can receive it on your device, but when you check your mail back at your desktop, it will be there too.
Look under Send/Receive Settings?
That's the option currently set, and it does indeed leave the messages on gmail, but they are not automatically downloaded to my desktop if they were already downloaded to the Diamond.
I don't understand why it doesn't synchronize them with outlook on my computer...
Oh?

I'm sure why that is then. I use Tiscali email, and that downloads to my desktop whether I've already viewed them on my device or not. Perhaps someone else who uses gmail can help you... strange
in gmail, even if u leave the emails in the server, they wont be downloaded more than once. i know that, i am using a gmail account with my office pc as well as my home pc. and if i download an email from gmail using one of the two pc's, i cant download it again using the other pc, unless i go into the gmail server and "refresh" all emails making them as new. Same of course applies if you use a win mobile system.
Solution? yep and pretty simple. Have a new account in an exchange server, which can sync with your diamond. Have all your emails forwarded to this account. My diamond syncs only with my push-emailing exchange server, whilst all other accounts of mine are set in order to forward copies to the exchange server.
dunno if i made myself sufficiently clear... ?
How do I uhh.. set up an exchange server?
Is it seriously impossible to synch email I receive on the phone with desktop outlook? This is stupid. :/ One of the reasons I got the phone was that I could get emails everywhere, but it's useless if not only it doesn't synch it with the computer, but it deletes these mails automatically.....

i opened an account in a microsoft exchange server, to which i forward all my emails from other accounts. Also all my contacts and to-do list are in this exchange server, and are sync together with outlook in my other two computers (+diamond). I do so not just for sync but also because this is the best way for getting push-emailing... meaning my diamond gets the email right in the moment i receive it.
btw u can get a free email account in the following exchange server: http://live.mail2web.com/
Do you have imap enabled or just pop3? If you let the phone automatically setup your email then it will automatically chose pop3. Don't enter your email adress when configuring your gmail because it automatically sets up everything. Just enter something like [email protected] and it should give you the option to choose imap.
And make sure your computer also uses imap.
Hi guys. I got a bit of an unusual problem.
I got an email account which is programmed to automatically forward all emails that come in to my gmail account. My gmail account is synchronised with my phone using active sync.
Now for some reason, my xperia (outlook) cannot show the content of the emails that I get forwarded to my gmail account. Its really weird. So to clarify, whenever I receive an email on this other account of mine, it is automatically forwarded to my gmail account which comes up on my phone. On my xperia then, I can see that I received a message, I can see the subject of the message, however I cannot see the actual text. If the message comes with an attachment, I can use and open the attachment but again, I cannot read the actual message.
I have tried a couple of things before I decided to post here. The first thing I tried is to change my active sync settings from receiving messages in "plain text" to "html" - didnt help. I have also made sure to tell active sync to always download the "whole message" and not just parts of it - didnt help.
Then I reconfigured the server so I that it automatically forwards the emails to my yahoo account (instead of my gmail account) - didnt help, on yahoo I had the same problem.
Interestingly, when I access gmail on my computer and forward one of these emails that the xperia cannot read from my gmail to my yahoo account and then access the email from my xperia on the yahoo account - it works.
Has anybody any ideas what the reason could be? To clarify right away, I cannot access my other email account directly from the xperia. It needs to be done via this "forward messages automatically" rule.
I would be appreciate any help.
Amano
no ideas anyone? I really need to get this sorted somehow. Sorry for unnecessary post but I cant let this thread disappear without an answer.
