Filtering email downloads? cncf 04-23-2007

I just got my Moto Q, and I have two email options;

1) I can do synch to my outlook when I am in cable/bluetooth range and
even specify which folders to grab from and organize into.

2) I can do scheduled email downloads but that just calls all of my
emails and puts them in one 'folder', no rules allowed.

Isn't there a way I can set it up so Outlook and/or the phone just
grab email from either specific email addresses or better yet just get
pushed emails from specific folders?

On a slightly different note;

I synched and it said Contacts worked, but none came in.

And, finally, the Task in Moto Q for some unknown reason don't let you
set or use alarms. Any way around this, i.e. task software that will
in turn synch with Outlook?

Thanks in advance for any help!

As a follow-up it occurs to me that the best thing to do is to simply
have all the folders synched to my Moto Q and then for the email
download to follow the same rule-sets when importing. Is there some
functional Moto Q Outlook that will do this, i.e. copy/synch folders/
categories and rules and then follow them?

I'm not entirely sure I got the gist of your first problem, but it sounds to
me like you should switch to IMAP4 instead of POP3. You should do this both
on your desktop Outlook and your Q. That way the desktop Outlook can run
the rules and move messages to the different folders. Then your Q will be
able to download the messages in the correct folders.

Note: please backup your data before playing around with your Outlook email
accounts or you may suffer data loss!

As for your second problem, unfortunately the Tasks application in WM5
Smartphone edition is not as full-featured as the PocketPC edition and
doesn't support reminders. There was a lot of work done in WM6 to add to
the functionality. I don't know if Motorola has announced whether they will
release an upgrade to WM6 though.
