[Guest RickDawson]

Is it possible to have more than 6 email accounts in Windows Mobile 5 ?

I'm using a universal (O2 XDA Exec)

Why do you need so many? It must cost you a fortune in gprs. Why not just set up redirects on the ones that support it? In my setup, mails to each account actually hit the inbox with the to: field set to the correct name that the mail originally was sent to.

Failing that, one of the email profile switchers may be able to help. I'm sure there are ones that do the outgoing server, not sure about incomming.

Ideally, buy a domain. It's like 20 quid a year, and if you enable wildcards, you can do [email protected] and all the mails still come to you . You could give everyone a different address, e.g. [email protected]. If the address gets spammed, never shop there again... ;)

I do have my own domains which I use for my addresses.

The reason I need more than 6 email accounts on the xda is that I have my own online business, which has a different address for each department (support, orders, webmaster, enquiries, etc). I also need my own personal addresses, of which I have 2 (one for family and close contacts, and one for signing up to stuff where I might get junk)

Sounds similar to my needs. You could just have all the mails dumped into one mailbox and use procmail to sort them into folders based on the To: address. That way the phone would only be polling multiple folders in one account. The downside is that you'd need to tweak the "reply to" mail with each outgoing message.

My mail comes into my domain and gets redirected to a pop3 server at my regular ISP. Fetchmail then polls the server and downloads the messages onto my linux box. These are sorted into folders on my imap server using procmail. So I've got inbox, inbox/spam, inbox/mailinglists and so on.

Not sure if this info is any good for your needs. An alternate I suppose would be another email app for the PPC, might be neccessary given the volume of mail you'd want to manage. There are a couple out there.

I cannot seem to find any email apps.

anyone know of any?
