Hi.
I have all my emails on my XDA in Activesync inbox but my computer died and i lost them all off my PC. Is it possible for the XDA to send the emails back to the computer? Ive tried it a couple of times and it just deletes them all from my XDA! (Thank god for backups!!).
I really don't want to lose all 526 emails :-(.
Any suggestions?
Graham
I join this call!
I work with pcc 2002.
1. Recently I tried to synchronize wiht Outlook 2000. I checked the 'inbox', so the inbox, sent items, drafts,... should be synchronized, but only the inbox synched. After that I put the mails in 'sent items' in a new folder in the pc and instructed active sync to synchronize with that new folder, but it didn't work either. I created a new folder with mails from the inbox and that did synhronize. After that I instructed active sync not to synhronize with the inbox and the new folders and deleted the mails on the xda in order to clean up. After instructing act.sync. to synchronize the inbox again to see if the 'sent box' would be synched, all the inbox-mails were deleted of course (I had the backup!), but the sent items were again not synchronized.
2. Also some attachments could not be synchronized and there is no way of knowing of which mails.
3. Isn't there a way to have the mails, contacts and appointments stored on the SD-Card to save main memory?
4. Isn't it possible to have a folder synchronising files on the sd-card with files on somewhere on the harddisk of the pc?
5. Is there a good manual somewhere about safe synchronizing and troubleshooting it?
I would be very gratefull to get some answers to these questions

My outlook contacts folder is full of crap. Lots of email addresses I never ever use and I don't really want them on my xda.
Is there some way to make the XDA synchronise with a different location on the PC so that I can back up my contact list on the xda but without downloading all the useless bumf from outlook?
Thanks,
Daniel
Furthermore - is there any way to make it synchronise with an OUTLOOK EXPRESS address book rather than outlook?
- you won't be able to synchronize with Outlook Express...that's why they provided a copy of Outlook with the device.
However, if you are interested in synchronizing with other contacts folders give this a try.
Hi thanks for the reply -
a while of fiddling actually brought up this simple (?) solution -
every contact i make on my xda i put into the "xda" category. Then when I sync i tell them to only sync the "xda" category.
That outlook plugin does look interesting - thanks for the link!
Dan
I know of 2 programs that claim to allow syncing with Outlook Express:
1) SyncExpress 2002

2) Intellisync

Hope this helps.

Hi,
I'm about to upgrade to the latest ROM, and I think I need to save my contact list before I do it - is that right?
However, in activesync, there is no check-box to tick next to contacts, so it can't synchronize them for me. I use outlook express, so I thought it should be simple enough. What's wrong?
Is there any other simple way of retaining my contacts during an upgrade, because I'm not really fussed about having them on outlook.
Thanks for any help,
Phil
without being sure then i think that use need to use outlook and not outlook express to have contacts
outlook 2k came free on the cd of both my xda1 and 2
Outlook 2002 is hacking me off
Aaargh - please help!!!
After Rudegar's suggestion to use Outlook 2002 rather than Outlook express, I fished out the CD that came with my XDA II and installed Outlook 2002 and activesync onto a new PC.
Activesync connects OK and tries to sync my contacts as I wanted it to, but Outlook is messing about, and the contacts end up unresolved. When I try to do anything to do with contacts in Outlook, it says "Could not open the Item - try again". Even simply manually creating a new one.
So I thought I'd set up an email account - perhaps I need one to have contacts, but the help file says to go to "Tools" and "Email accounts", but there isn't an "Email accounts" option on the tools menu!
Outlook is really hacking me off now - all i want to do is to have somewhere to store my contacts whilst I do a ROM upgrade - this is CRAZY!!
PLEASE help - this is doing my nut!
Phil
:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
did you set up your mail account in the inbox of your device ?
if you click the account menu and choose new account you should begin setting up your account
about the resolve conflicting then under options in activesync there are a place where you set up rules as to how activesync handle conflicts
also people seem to be reporting issues with usb'ing their xda devices with
windows 9X (ME) series os
I'm not sure I understand - I don't actually use pocket outlook on the device. I was talking about setting up an account on my laptop so that outlook 2002 would allow me to have a contact list on the laptop which I would then use to store the contacts on whilst I do a rom upgrade on the XDA II....
contacts is pocket outlook along with the calander and tasks and appointments
if you mean that you had issues setting up an account on the outlook on the pc then choose tools
choose services
and add mail
there isn't a services item on my tools menu...

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
hi all,
lumia 800
can anyone shed any ideas as to why my email inbox empties a day or so after reading, my sent folder is intact just the inbox empties all read mail
voith
I see 45 people have read this query, with no solution so instead I will ask is this normal, does everyones inbox empty by itself after a short period of time.
Try this: go into email settings -> synchronisation settings -> Download email from - then select a longer time.
Cheers
Do you also download your e-mails to your PC or Laptop? Then it is normal for the inbox to show up empty because those messages are no longer available. The sent messages are stored locally on your phone and not in your normal sent mailbox with your e-mail server.
"Do you also download your e-mails to your PC or Laptop" Yes
"Then it is normal for the inbox to show up empty because those messages are no longer available" Depends on how you setup email account, if you use IMAP instead of POP3 then your inbox would be available across al your devices.
Cheers

thanks all for your replies,in the synchro I have it downloading from anytime, though it made no difference, regarding the above quote, I was not downloading my mail on another computer as I wanted all mail to go to my phone and stay there as it was a dedicated addys, I lived with the deletions until I desperately needed a recent received email, and found it had already been deleted, so in the end I had to add the account to my home comp to download the mails so that I could save them, since I have started to download them to my main comp, it has not altered the time taken to delete its always a few days.
oh and I am running pop3
