Jason,
Long time viewer here. Thank you, the Pocket PC Thoughts Team, and the forum contributors for informative articles and responses like this!
I am a recent owner of the Audiovox 6600 phone (Sprint branded). I currently use POP (leave messages on server) server access on my workstation (Outlook), notebook (Thunderbird), and ppc (uuh.. default). I tested IMAP4 last week and found a few obstacles that reverted me back to a POP3 zealot. Can someone provide a solution or link to a KB article (seached Microsoft, Sprint, and a few other sites, might have to google more) that addresses this foremost issue..
Outlook and PPC Sent Items folder, IMAP
Whenever I send an email out, the sent email is moved to the local Sent Items folder in the PST instead of the Inbox.Sent subscribed folder on the IMAP server. The same applies for Drafts and Trash folders. This issue also occurs with the Audiovox 6600's default email application.
An acceptable solution that I tried to apply was to copy and paste from the local folders into the IMAP folders. Outlook errors out and prevents me from doing so. IMAP functionality in Outlook and the Pocket PC does not seem to work accordingly. I really do not want to create a rule within Outlook as a patch solution, not sure what to do in the Pocket PC. I do not mind using Thunderbird as the workstation / notebook solution to IMAP. I am at a lost for the Pocket PC however. Can anyone provide a little guidance so I can continue to troubleshoot IMAP on the Pocket PC and Outlook (Exchange installation will not occur until 2nd quarter of 2006
, ActiveSync mod will be the 2nd thing that is implemented
).
Thanks!
