No notification / alertsound for direct push from exchange subfolders?

[licht77]

Hi there!

I searched the forum using google - but couldnt find a solution for my problem: I am using an exchange server with directpush on my WM 6.1 (no thrills v3 rom)... notification works perfect when the new mail is in the standard inbox -> but when my server side filter rules move the new mail into a subfolder, then my mobile device doesnt alert me that a new mail arrived!

I HAVE already marked the responding subfolders as "synced" (mobile outlook -> extras -> manage folders) but still no alert for those folders?

Any suggestions are highly appreciated!

You are right, there's no solution!
At least not when you use WM Outlook.

Only workaround is to use FlexMail. (Or maybe another 3rd party app)

Hm Flexmail ok... - are u using this one? Any experiences compared to pocket outlook? What about exchange implementation (like scheduler - time coordination between participants etc) and traffic?

No, I don't use FlexMail. Sorry, can't help you with that.

I tested Flexmail: Notification functions with every sort of account except MAPI and so except the communication with the Exchange server. Too bad

Can this be true? If we want to use push-mail / contacts / whatever together with our exchange server, then we cannot use subfolders and rulesets because only the basefolder will pop up a notification?

Is there no update / patch for pOutlook?

Try Watchflag, works with built in email client in windows mobile and allows to alert on subfolders. $20 though.

Yeah, I had this same problem, too. I have a Windows Mobile 6 device syncing with Microsoft Exchange. I have server-side rules set up to automatically route emails to different folders, which are synced.

The solution? Well, I couldn't find one, so I wrote one:
http://www.blackmonlabs.com/

It's a lightweight Today screen plugin that will display all your unread emails, in all your folders and accounts. As you read your mail, the display will automatically update. Also, you can configure each mail account to have its own alert as new messages arrive.

The free version supports alerts and sum-total emails for each account. (like the Messaging plug-in, but includes all your unread emails, not just the inbox)

For the $10 activation fee, you get the ability to have the today screen break out the folders with unread messages, so you can navigate directly there.

Cheers!

Any chance this could be implemented for HTC users? In HTC sense, there is no homescreen ;(
