[Q] Sense 3.0 Email Questions

---

Now that people are getting their new phones I would like to know if Sense 3.0 has any improvements in the email application, specifically when using IMAP.

Firstly I would like to know if the email app now supports IMAP IDLE, which may be listed as Push.

Also I would like to know if you can have multiple "From" addresses per mailbox so that I can choose who to reply as.

Lastly I would like to know if you can have an auto BCC for each mailbox.

Thanks.

I guess I asked too soon.

Bumping.

Just a quick reply to this

1) I have my google mail set up in htc mail as an IMAP there is no option to set the update schedule for push mail. I cannot see any other option to set it up for IMAP Idle so I assume it does not work with HTC mail.

2) I have both an exchange activesync mailbox and a google email mailbox set up in htc mail. When you compose an email there is an option on the top to select the from address you are sending to.

3) In the send and recieve settings for each mailbox there is an "always bcc me" option. I just tested it and it looks like it will only automatically bcc to the same account you are sending from. You do have the option of adding other accounts when you are composing an email.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for this. It's a pity that HTC decided to add eye candy to Sense instead of working on useful features like IMAP IDLE.

I just need some clarification on (2). Does changing the From address change the account or can you have two accounts with multiple from addresses?

Thanks

I don't understand what you mean but from what I gather it changes the account you send from. Only one from account can be selected.

Ahh. OK. What I was talking about was using it with an account that is a catchall. account

Say I have owned domain custom-roms.com I could have any email that was sent to any address at custom-roms.com all come into one mailbox. So email sent to dev@custom-roms.com, test@custom-roms.com, kernel@custom-roms.com would all come into the same mailbox which could have the default address of admin@custom-roms.com.

However when it came to replying, say I wanted to reply to an email sent to "kernel" but I didn't want to reply from the default address of "admin", with some mail clients, like K-9, I could choose to use one of the other "From" addresses even though they all belong to the same account.

one more thing abt the new Sense email app;
is multiple selection possible for ex. to 'mark as read' or 'delete' purposes?

(asking as a potential Sensation owner soon)

Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Yes this was implemented in sense 2.1

Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I don't know if it is new but the Sense 3 Mail program also supports multiple exchange accounts.

Extra exchange accounts must be added from within the HTC mail application.

Now I can use my personal and work exchange accounts on the phone at once. 1 up over my Touch Pro 2.

Ok I see now, setting the from address to an alias set up to the account.

In that case no, from your example you will only be able to choose the admin@ account. The from addresses you select from are derived from the mailboxes you set up in HTC mail. It is not a text box which you can edit but a list you select from.

The only way to do what you want is to set up an actual account for each of those emails, not aliases and then add each of them to HTC mail. not really what you were looking for though.
