Wm6 PocketOutlook and IMAP SUBfoldes

[licht77]

Hi there!

I am using Schaps excellent Rom 3.54b and my Mailserver runs Dovecot...

My problem is that i cannot access IMAP subfolders.... the mainfolder is fine, and the folderstructure is listed too... but when entering a subfolder it is empty.

Any ideas? Your help is highly appreciated...

thx, licht

Once you open the messaging app, you need to go to "menu" then "tools" then "manage folders" then tick on all the folders you'd like to sync. By default, activesync only syncs "inbox" and the rest of the folders (subfolders, etc), would need to be manually selected this way. Once done, re-sync and you should get all your messages/emails

Thx for your quick answer!

i cant believe that i missed this one

PS: anyone tried vgsmail for IMAP idle? Or is this already included in wm6' pocket outlook?

mmh...thought it should be the same procedure, i dont use IMAP. When you say "the mainfolder is fine, and the folderstructure is listed too... but when entering a subfolder it is empty" are you talking about the messaging app in you pocket pc? When you go in your messages and you see your emails in what you described as "the mainfolder" is that the inbox? and when you say "the folderstructure is listed too" are you referring to the subfolders?

If yes then, just go to "menu" then "tools" then "manage folders" then tick on all the folders that are empty and instead of syncing using activesync, use the method that you use to retrieve your IMAP emails. Once the folders are ticked, on your next IMAP email retrieval, the empty subfolders that you are referring to should contain your emails in them. Let me know if this works
