New Mail Notification and Email Viewing

[lesleindotcom]

Is there a way to be notified of new messages when they hit folders other than the inbox. I have several developers that have server side rules that send error messages and other emails to certain folders but it does not tell them they have a new email.

My other question is how can I make it so that when you view your emails it only shows the subject and from lines. I would think this would be an easy hack but I can not find it.

Thanks

No! Havent seen anyone get new mail notificiations working for subfolders working.

Yeah, that would be great. I deleted all my rules for that same reason. No notifications.

This is the most annoying "feature" for Outlook (on whatever platform), only new email in the default Inbox folder will notified.

However, if you install MS Voice Command 1.6 it will read the email subject and senders name even if it arrives in (gets sortet do) a subfolder. :)

I've got a separate IMAP account on my phone (i.e. not outlook mail) - it audibly alerts when I get mail (checks every 30 mins) but no vibrate unfortunately :( However this is the main folder of the IMAP account, not sure if it would work for subfolders.

Any helpful programmer wanna have a go at this, it would be very useful

Thanks

I will look at the Voice Command software and also watch this post to see if there are any better ways to get this functionality.
On email viewing portion of my post there was an application that I came across in the last month that could do this but I can not find it anymore. If anyone knows how to do this hook me up.

I have just the opposite going on. When a mail comes in that is processed by a rule, I ALWAYS get new mail notification, and sooner than my Outlook does.
Push mail is processed by Exchange before Outlook sees it. Therefore the inbox rules don't take effect on my phone until the next sync.
Your mileage may vary, but this has been my experience. That being said, I'll look into coding up a lightweight notification utility. Might be fun.

I'm just digging into the WM 6.0 SDK and there are some API hooks to do this.

Aren't rules, even if they're setup on Outlook, syncd with your exchange server? So your phone should drop each email into the right folder.

That's true, but I think the issue is that when it's moved to a folder and is not in the inbox, they don't get any notifications that a new message has arrived.

It seems that you are only notified when there is mail in the INBOX, but not anywhere else.

As far as notifications and filters go, Windows Mobile 5/6 is much more limited compared to the BlackBerry.

I'm going to have to do some searching to see if there's at least a 3rd party mail app (POP or IMAP) that has more features.

My rules, for reference, run on Outlook (client side).

Because my phone gets messages from Exchange before Outlook, I get notified, even if I've set a rule to move it out of the inbox and mark it as read.

Like I said earlier, I don't know how POP or IMAP clients react compared to Exchange, but I get my messages on my device before Outlook (client) does.

No rules run on the phone. Maybe we need to consider that as an add-on???
