Hotmail/Exchange Sync...eeek

[skibum555]

Hello there, I have a HTC Incredible S with OS 2.3.3.

Using the Mail app with the phone I am trying to get my hotmail account to download all my folders (with all emails), delete emails from the server and show all my messages

Maybe you could try going into the "Account and Sync setting" on your phone, select the Hotmail account, go into the "Account Settings" and then see if changing the "Amount to Synchronize" has an effect.

Hello there, I have a HTC Incredible S with OS 2.3.3.

Using the Mail app with the phone I am trying to get my hotmail account to download all my folders (with all emails), delete emails from the server and show all my messages….this seems hard to do!

I have set up Exchange Activesync which will download my folders but only have some emails (even though I have ticked all the box’s for the folders) and no matter what I do I can’t get emails to delete from the server.

If I set it up as a pop 3 hotmail account it will delete from the server but not give me my folders!!

Can anyone help!! I love the phone (just came from a brief stint with a Win 7 phone) and just need to get this one thing sorted!

Thank you!

I'm not familiar with the HTC devices but I did it on my fascinate.

Start to setup the email using the hotmail option or whatever and then use Manual mail setup

domain: blank
username: whatever@hotmail.com
pass: yeah that
Exchange server: m.hotmail.com

after you have it setup you might have to go change the account settings on your HTC and tell it how much mail to DL. My default was 3 days but you can change it to "ALL".

try these....

The folder selection option only chooses which folders to sync -- not how much email. If your app doesn't have a setting for how much email to sync then try another ActiveSync compatible email app.

If I set it up as a pop 3 hotmail account it will delete from the server but not give me my folders!!

Right. POP doesn't support sync or folders. There's a single pool of email on the mail server that you retrieve mail from.
