Hey guys,
I've been a BlackBerry user since it's infancy back in 1998 / 1999. I just recently purchased the BlackBerry Q10 and just wasn't happy with the over all result. Don't get me wrong the phone is fast, but the UI isn't the most user friendly. Anyhow, I've switched over to iPhone 5 and I love everything about it. Speed, Apps, Colour, User friendliness, etc.. The only thing that I need help with is setting up my Mail to work for me in the environment which I have it setup. So below is an explanation on how I have mine setup.
I'm running on Microsoft Office Exchange using Office 365 (ActiveSync) and use a PC and MS Outlook as my everyday / desktop client.
My email is all setup in multiple folders and sub-folders (about 500 of them). For example, I deal with 8 different shipping companies and my email is organized like this (for example):
Inbox\Shipping\Company1
Inbox\Shipping\Company2
Inbox\Shipping\Company3
etc.
When someone from Company1 emails me, it automatically puts their email into the Company1 folder (same with the others) ...
I've noticed that when I received an email that gets moved over to a folder via the rules, I don't see it on the main mail screen, but I have to actually go into the folder itself to view it.
So my first question, is it possible to view all emails on one screen even though some get moved over to different folders on the server? The BlackBerry operated like this and ideally, I'd like to continue to stick to that same environment.
I know that I can setup push notifications for all my sub-folders, but still, it seems as if I still have to siff through all my folders to see what email came in and which folder it went too.
Anyway to closely keep the same BlackBerry style email environment on an iPhone 5?
Other than than, the phone is AMAZING!
Thanks, Dov
P.S. My exchange box is about 12GB, how long does the initial setup usually take for email? Seems like it's been "synching" for a long time already?
