hi,

outlook uses pop3, my message are not sync read/unread...

solutions ?

If no solutions, having email on mobile can be waste of time... :-(

Yes, the default setup for @hotmail / outlook uses POP3.

MS implemented and opened up IMAP last month. Please see below discussion to set up the account in AquaMail using IMAP:

I'll be sticking with POP3 for the auto config until MS fixes two specific server side issues.

I can't change POP3 field...

this field is unable and fixed on POP3

Can you please give me instructions without using technical terms ? I'm sure the solution is on this forum but impossible to understand the terms

thanks :-)

An existing account cannot be changed between POP3 and IMAP (and I'm not aware of any mail app that would let you do that).

Therefore, you'll need to add the account into aqua mail again, pressing Manual on the first account setup screen, choosing IMAP on the next screen, and entering server settings from the page linked above.

Then later you can delete the POP3 account from aqua mail.

This will surely leave old emails in the old pop3 account, so it cannot be deleted till you no longer need any thing in it?
This suits people who 'process and delete' their emails, and keep nothing older than a certain short age. I am of the opposite school. I leave emails for years.
The PC is set up to keep everything, and used to be my sole email system.
I moved my email from pop to IMAP first using Thunderbird on the PC. There is a step by step guide to doing it on the internet (but may vary per ISP or host). I also moved my historic emails from the old account to the new, so don't have duplicate accounts. I was able to do this only because my main email platform had been and still is a pc. I don't think that AM allows messages to be copied or cut and pasted from one account to the other so if you have loads of old pop3 mails on the phone/tablet (but nowhere else), that old pop3 account needs to stay till you need nothing in it.

I did this before I had my android tablet, so I just set that up from day one in IMAP. The iPhone had accessed the pop3, but only partial duplicates of the ones on the PC.
On the iPhone I deleted the account and set it up again, as by then, everything was on the server.

Removing a POP3 (or an IMAP, for that matter) account in AquaMail does not delete messages from the server.

Fair comment, but the only pop3 accounts I have ever had (by default) deleted messages from the server when downloaded.
I found this was the default but it could be changed. Indeed, I did change my iPhone behaviour so it left messages on the server, but the PC was still set to remove from server, so the only full copy was on the PC. Deleting the account in Thunderbird removed its folders and contents from the PC (for me it would have been the only full copy of 7 years' emails). Disabling the account left the messages in place on the pc, but never checked for email.
So I first disabled the accounts while I moved the messages received (and sent) during 7 years into the IMAP account and back onto the server.
As different providers or hosting services may have different defaults, it is at least an issue to watch for, but for most people these days maybe it is not an issue, as you will already have "leave on server" checked if you use webmail as well as a dedicated email client such as aquamail. I came to using email so long ago in the dial-up days, that 'download and remove from server' was the only practical solution.
Now, using IMAP on all platforms, I have my PC settings so that there should be two full copies of the messages. One on the server, one on the PC.

"delete from server when checking mail" is a mail app thing, not a server thing... I guess some mail apps (desktop) have it on by default... All eggs in one basket and all... So 90ies anyway.

The only exception is Gmail's pop3, but there messages are not actually deleted, they are just never reported by the server on subsequent mail checks...

It's nice how IMAP allows uploads and there are tools and scripts and libraries that can assist with that.
