Windows Mobile 6 released

As a recent purchase has given me the joys (and some woes) of a JasJam, it is good news to hear that

CONGRATS GUYS!

I can't wait to pick one up and use the spiffy UI and new features!

Congrats, are you going to backport namespace fix?

scm6079 — Sun, 11 Feb 2007 11:43:11 GMT

Looks like a great jump forward. Does the product map including back-porting the fix for namespaces (ie. deleting items in IMAP) for existing devices like the recently released Samsung BlackJack / Sprint Moto Q -- which are all WinMo 5 devices?

Re: back-porting fixes.

zhamid — Sun, 11 Feb 2007 21:32:40 GMT

Actually, I don't know. There are some critical fixes that we do backport, but I don't know what the criteria is. I should find it, it'll be good education for me.

Looks good!

Any plans for supporting multiple calendars in Outlook Mobile like in Outlook?

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

eljoe — Tue, 13 Mar 2007 06:47:02 GMT

is that possible that outlook mobile on WM6 does not have any filter to only view unread mails?

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

zhamid — Tue, 13 Mar 2007 23:12:06 GMT

Re: Filter e-mails.

Yes, it is possible that WM6 does not have any filter to only view unread emails. As sad as it sounds, it is actually an architecture limitation from a long time ago. Now that we support flags, I'd love to be able to just see unread emails, flagged emails, important emails etc. etc. etc. Sadly, we can't :(. Not right now anyway.

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

zhamid — Tue, 13 Mar 2007 23:12:49 GMT

We do not support Multiple Calendars in Outlook Mobile yet. As for the plans, I am not in the Calendar Team. Let me ping our Calendar folks to see if they have something to add.

re: Filter e-mails.

eljoe — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 06:57:32 GMT

wow...can´t beleive it...i am so used to filter by unread mails on Outlook (PC version)...but thanks for your answer!

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

jxy1101 — Mon, 26 Mar 2007 05:31:03 GMT

"Keyboard Shortcuts in Messaging" -- I couldn't get this feature work on my WM6 device (engineering device). I tried Device Emulator and it didn't work too. I am using Pocket PC Phone (WM6 Professional). Does this feature only work on Smartphone (WM6 Standard)?

"Out of Office messages" -- I couldn't find this menu in my WM6 device, even in emulator. Does it need new Exchange Server?

"flag e-mail messages" -- I couldn't find this menu too. Does it need new Exchange Server?

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

zhamid — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 23:39:01 GMT

You need Exchange 12 for those features to work. "Keyboard shortcuts" should work, but i you do not have a shipping device then this may be a driver issue.

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

jxy1101 — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 18:52:25 GMT

Thank you, Zhamid. Does "HTML Mail" also needs Exchange 12 to make it work?

any feedback from the calendar team ? I, too, would like the ability to have both my Corp Exchange calendar (via activesync) and another web based cal, ie Google Calendar avail within the same calendar client such as Outlook . Someone must be doing something to solve this request ??

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

wolfeman — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 23:47:49 GMT

Another vote for the criticality of multiple calendars. Use case/example: a work calendar and a personal calendar. Desktop Outlook manages this nicely today.

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

JenzDad — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 17:37:46 GMT

What I am, and it seems the world is, looking for is the ability to store our Outlook CALENDAR entries on our smartphone multi-gigabyte SD cards.

When will this be available?

Thanks for listening.

Multiple calendars would be awesome, since I manage 6-7 techs that use our companies calendar.

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

EdChee — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 18:52:30 GMT

Another vote for multiple calendars on Outlook Mobile... the ability to sync individual calendars separately from different sources (eg, personal, work, etc.). At the moment, I'm forced to choose one source to prevent contaminating one or the other calendar(s). Love the new WM6 interface and speed over WM5!

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

Vanda — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 20:32:22 GMT

Why can't I sync my Outlook 2007 calendar (PC only) with my Windows Mobile Pocket PC? It did it when I set up the partnership but has not happened since.

Multiple Calendars, Contacts and Tasks !!! YES !

How could this have been overlooked ?

We have multiple email folders, why criple other folder types ?

Just as importantly, please include the ability to access SHARED folders(NOT just public) from other users on an Exchange server.

You have to figure that there are - oh - a few million WM users out there....all of 'em have an office life and a home life to manage. Multiple calendars should be the STANDARD - not something we need to beg for.

Oh, yah, it's Microsoft.....

Another vote for multiple calendars

Jeff — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 08:40:55 GMT

I'm a happy owner of a new Blackjack II smartphone. What I found is I *can* sync to multiple calendars - but that's using the "Missing Sync" software I purchased which picks up all the calendars from iCal on my Mac.

Moving to a Windows platform is where I find the same problem being voiced here. Microsoft gives us multiple calendars in Outlook but restricts the use to only one calendar in WM6. This really needs to be patched and soon.

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

Von Madcap — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 21:45:49 GMT

Yet another vote for multiple calendars - no offence, but this is such an oversight, and is really hindering the usefulness of calendar syncing for me. Which is a drag 'cos I don't want to get my laptop out or start using a paper calendar evvery time I want to schedule anything...!

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

Julie drummond — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 17:11:18 GMT

Multiple Calendars would cause me to drop my Blackberry in a heartbeat and switch to WM6.

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

Mark — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 04:36:47 GMT

How do I stop my Exchange mail from filling up my device's main storage space? I would like to offload it to a multi-GB external MicroSD card, but the software does not allow you to change the location of the messages. I don't want to delete messages on the phone because they get deleted on the Exchange server as well and there is no way to change the setting in the OS.

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

Hugh McCormack — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 05:44:41 GMT

Did a search hoping for multiple calendars to be support, but to no avail. Will have to figure some kind of workaround i guess. I want to be able to schedule and sync jobs in a public folder away from the desk.

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 19:58:36 GMT

Pubilc calendars please!!!!!!!!!!!!

we are a consulting company that uses public calendars for scheduling. I have people driving back to the office to check the schedule!!! thats absurd, every person here has a $500 phone and thousands invested in exchange 2007

Is there a way to switch the softkey function in Outlook Mobile? For example, within Inbox view how does one configure the Left Softkey to "Delete" instead of "New"? It's best to have "Delete" without needing to hit "Menu" then scroll to "Delete".

"Calendar A" + "Calendar B" + "Calendar C" + "Calendar D" + "Calendar E" = "MULTIPLE Calendars". Please!

Oh, and the ability to network sync imap calendars.

I quite disappointed about WM6 - bought a Palm Treo 500 thinking it would do everything you always show off except no stylus - wrong, wrong, wrong!

I am e.g. missing the "Out of Office" function - not too much to ask, is it?

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

Deacon Eisenhart — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 06:12:59 GMT

Please - Multiple calendar. The PALM OS was capable of doing this through the hotsync cable and pockmirror professional.

Did I mention that multiple calendars are essential? I would really like multiple calendars. How about adding multiple calendars to windows mobile devices?

Make it work with SYNCml as well as I spent so much money on the smartphone I couldn't afford exchange...

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

jacek — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 01:01:20 GMT

the stupid imap does not work...cant believe it...emails still disappear from the Sent folder...i am so frustrated...

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

angrue — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 20:54:27 GMT

jacek: Can you tell share more about what's not working for you? Are you syncing your Sent Items folder? If yes, then do the emails first show up in it and then disappear, or do they never appear? What pattern is there in their disappearance?

Also, I'd suggest you make a post at http://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsMobile/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=1590&SiteID=65 with all this information. The forum is great for figuring out issues like this, and we keep an eye out in the forums for difficulties people are having, to improve our future versions.

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

Brian — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 03:14:46 GMT

Well I found this page doing a search for "multiple calendars", like many people I guess. I run a dog walking company and I use ten plus calendars on my desktop Outlook to handle employee schedules. The fact that I can't sync these to my Pocket PC running WM5 makes me feel like this is 1988, not 2008. What the heck was Microsoft thinking - do they know *anything* about business?

So I guess I was presuming that in WM6, they'd corrected their inexcusable oversight - I was obviously wrong. *Still* no multiple calendar support? Well I obviously won't be upgrading to a WM6 device any time soon then!

Microsoft - what *were* you thinking? Please bring yourselves into the 21st century.

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

David — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 22:59:01 GMT

I have an AT&T Tilt with WM6 and I cannot flag emails, are you sure that you can?

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

James M. Gillespie — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 09:09:52 GMT

Since switching from a Blackberry back to a WM phone, I have also been looking to sync with multiple calendars.

I am currently using Google Calendar Sync, but would greatly appreciate Sync Center (ActiveSync) supporting multiple calendars.

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

James — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 19:29:41 GMT

+ 1 million on multiple calendar support!

I am staggered that Microsoft do not have this feature on the mobile software. Have they not thought of it?, can't do it (I don't believe that), or can't be arsed?

WTF do they do all day?

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

Nik — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 12:45:06 GMT

I'm new to windows mobile, so far I liked it a lot, helps me big time planning and organising my work. Until I started to look for a solution to sync my personal calendar as well.

another vote for multiple Calendars!

Really don't like the idea that I will need to download some extra soft in order to accomplish this.

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

Michael — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 14:35:12 GMT

One more vote for the multiple calendar feature!!!

Could someone please take these requests seriuos and respond to what exactly Microsoft have in mind regarding solving this issue!!!

Someone said he wuld "ping" the calendar folks... are they ignoring this? Is this too difficult to solve for them? In the same context it would be great if you could look at the "multiple contacts folder" problem... The exact same problem...

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

Rick — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 17:42:38 GMT

I too found this page doing a search for "multiple calendars". Like so many others I was hoping the WM6 would have this feature by default. As a WM5 customer I am looking for a device that can handle this and was expecting to see it on the feature list for WM6. Too bad. Dang! I have to try the iPhone to get multi-calendar support? Com'on Microsoft get with it, you have people crying out for this feature!!!!!

I also think it's high-time we got some support for multiple calendars. Not having this capability makes me question why I have been so loyal to windows mobile for this long!?!

Jesse B — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 03:26:20 GMT

Hey, does anybody think that WM6 should support multiple calendars?

So we all know M$FT isn't listening, and I'm sure SOME of you have tried some 3rd party software as a workaround. What are your results? What have you used and is in good or bad?

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

Jason — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 11:49:37 GMT

Well, it looks like every man and his dog wants and expects multiple calendar support on their Windows Mobile smartphone - not surprising, since this is one of the most obvious features I can think of. Yet Microsoft have not only failed to implement this most basic feature (for NO reason that I can think of), but they also apparently refuse to even discuss it with anyone. No reason given. No word on any plans, progress, no acknowledgment.

Can someone please explain to me how in the hell Microsoft has such a large market share? It really is time we started kicking their asses over this! When you think of how much money they spend, how large their operation is, how much is spent on advertising campaigns telling us how sophisticated and thoughtful their business software solutions are, how they're the cutting edge of software development....and yet they completely neglect a feature that is so obviously essential it's like they released a word processing program with no "print" function.

For the life of me, this is one of those things that I will just NEVER understand.

Fabasi — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 23:03:02 GMT

Hey all,

Well, I see all the comments about multiple calendars and I figured I'd post about it as well, since I also got here from Google, searching for Windows Mobile Multiple Calendars :-)

So yes, PLEASE! What is going on with this? When will MS release an update for WM that has multiple calendar support? I know quite a few people who would like to see this feature yesterday.

@Jesse B: Iphone & Ipod touch have a pretty cool multiple calender system, that even can be syncronised over the air!

That's what ALL windows mobile (6) users are waiting for... So let's pray it will come with the update of Windows Mobile 6.5... Otherwise I think microsoft will lose more Windows Mobile users.

Multiple Canenders/Contacts Sync, is there anything else, other than Google sync that will do this. We dont seem to be getting any answers from Microsoft.

Do we go IPhone ?

re: Windows Mobile 6 is here...!!!

Darryl — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 06:48:05 GMT

I would like to see multiple calendars, contacts and tasks so that I can maintain for work and home.

I had been using Intellisync to do this on my work laptop. It could merge and manage my Exchange email/tasks/calendar and contact along with my personal items (same as Exchange) from a .pst. Nokia brought and killed that product. Now I am using PocketMirror for Windows Mobile (http://www.chapura.com/pmp_wm.php). I am happy with it but I have to connect to my laptop to update my phone.

I would like to see the ability for ActiveSync to work with multiple sources (Exchange, GMail, Another Exchange server), sync everything over the air and give me a consolidated view of the accounts that I want to see.

Does anyone know if the iPhone will do this? From the preview of the Palm Pre, it looks like it may do this.

I may have to jump off the Microsoft train at the next stop!

My name is Andy Vanosdale, a developer on the Windows Mobile Messaging team. I want to thank you all for being great users of our phones! I want to assure you that your comments and feedback do not go unnoticed. Multiple calendar support is one feature request that we know a lot of users would like us to add. I can not comment on future plans but do know that your comments and feedback are taken very seriously.

Thanks again for being great users of our product!
