Replying to outlook emails straight away...

[Guest Lazydonkey]

I remember in my old Symbian days you could reply to an outlook email (ie one copied from PC) but send straight away using pop / smtp set up - but from the looks of things with WM6 you arent' able to do this of have I just not get the knack yet?

Sorry for yet another stupid question ;)

I thought that during the email account setup, one of the options is "send mail immediately when I write a reply" (or something similar). You should be able to access that setting by going to the Accounts menu in any of your configured mailboxes.

It's not a stupid question - I have also noticed that the option to select which email account to send a reply with has gone.

In WM5 you could click reply on an Outlook synced email and change the email account you wanted to send it from - this is no longer an option so when you reply to an Outlook synced message and then click send it will sit in the Outbox until you sync with your PC again - no good if you are on the road a lot!

The only way I have found to get round this is to copy the entire email from your Outlook email, start a new email in your pop email account and paste the text into it. Its a pain, and a bit long winded, but it works. Does anyone know of a way round this using the default WM6 E-Mail program?

I have just installed Flexmail 2007 as posts in other forums state it can do what we are looking for. First impressions are very good as I took an Outlook email synced with my PC and replied to it after changing the "send from" option to my mobile email account - its worth a go if this function is important to you.
