Gmail - pop3 dissapearing messages on send/receive

Hi all,
Just set my XDA2s up for my gmail acount.
All is fine, I can receive and send mail no problems.
However, if I have a message in my inbox which I have read it gets deleted on the next send/receive.
I cannot find a way to tell it to keep my messages until I delete them manually...
Any ideas?

I have exactly the same problem.
Anyone knows?
gmail.
Me go try.
Never thought of using gmail on the qtek.
same here... i thought it was only with imate jams...
I don't have that problem here.
I only see option to remove deleted items manually or automatic.
its under storage.
Hi,
That option purely manages what to do with items marked as deleted. Not those in the inbox.
I am glad others see the problem. How do you have things set up?
I set my gmail not to archive or delete the items I download and read. However, I can't help but think that this is a setting with the XDA2s.

There's no thing wrong with your XDA IIs or Gmail.
Go into the settings of your gmail account on your XDA IIs. At the "Server information" screen, there is an "Options" button. Go into the Options screen. On the last screen,
* If you choose "Get full copy of messages" your messages will be deleted off of the server once you do a "Send/Receive Mail" This is common for all POP3 servers. Gmail has a special option in the "Mail Settings/Forwarding and POP" for you to "Keep Gmail's copy in the Inbox" even if you do a "Get a full copy of messages" Other POP3 servers don't have this special option so emails will get deleted. To keep it consistent with other POP3 servers in case you have multiple email accounts, just select "Trash Gmail's copy"
* If you choose "Get message headers only" and include 999K (32K is about a screen full of email) you will still see most of the body of your emails once you do a "Send/Receive Mail" but your emails won't be deleted off of the server. Now... if you realize some of the emails are SPAM and you want do delete them off of the server to save yourself from downloading those SPAM mails again to your desktop email software, you can click on the SPAM mail and "Mark for download". Then do a "Send/Receive Mail". Those emails that are marked for download will then be downloaded to your XDA IIs and deleted from the server. On your XDA IIs, you can just delete them once the "Send/Receive Mail" is done.
Hope it helps.
Does anyone kn ow why I keep getting a message "Messages cannot be downloaded to your mobile device. Make sure that you are connected and that your e-mail account settings are correct. Then, try to download messages again". I'm sure that my settings are correct. I can send emails OK - it's just will not down.load them. Any ideas?
Hi Suntingwong,
This does not appear to help unfortunately. The problem is not what happes to the mail at the gmail side but at the ppc side. No matter what I do, once I have read (or downloaded and read) a mail in my XDA2s's inbox it is removed from the XDA2s's inbox at the next send/receive. It is not sent to the deleted folder - just removed. I am after a way to keep it in the inbox as read, as you would logically expect it to be.
Rich
I can confirm the above.
It seems that each time you go over the send and recive you inbox is reset to empty. Thus what you had downloaded (as header or full text), and read just goes into never never land.
I am not sure what the differnese is betwwen the 2 icons at the bottom, both push your mail.
I have been lost on this one for a long time, adding to it I have also been lost on how I can sync my pop.mail with my outlook pst for the sent items and inbox.
Seems like the sysnc only goes Between the default mal box, which meens I CANT configer as pop. So I cant send unless I am attached to the desktop over that mail box.
Its concept that I don't understand and have yet to find a soulution.

Sorry I misread your question. I was thinking you were bothered by emails getting deleted from gmail whenever they got downloaded to your PPC.
I only use my PPC to quickly screen mails so this is not a problem for me. As long as I don't download emails from the server (set just to get header and 999K of body) then my emails won't get deleted from the server nor the PPC until I downloaded them to my desktop email software or when I delete them manually from my PPC.
Now if you want to keep your emails in your PPC no matter what happened to them on the server (got downloaded, etc...) You can mark your emails as "not read" whenever you're done reading them. That will keep them from being removed from your PPC. It's an arduous thing to do but it seems to be the only way...
Hope it helps
There has got to be a better solution than that.
I have the same problem as well, and would really like to see a fix.
You must enter in the settings of your account (upper right corner) and go to "Forwarding and POP". There you have this options:
1. Status: POP is enabled for all mail that has arrived since 1/1/05
Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)
Enable POP only for mail that arrives from now on
Disable POP
Yoy must select the first option (Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)), click on "Save changes" and now the messages dont disappear when you read it in your PPC.
Saludos.
I was sad to find out that the IIs only retains 6 email accounts. It seams that this problem isn't only inharent to gmail account. I have configured 3 of my own domain pop3 accounts. When I download the email to my IIs, the emails on my IIs disappear the next time I send/receive.

Look I feel like a real dumb a**.
I cant work your fix as I cant find that setting. Top right is a drop down for me (From, recived date, subject.)
In accounts I get 1/4 and see nothing on the next 3 pages that does anything for me.
Were should I be as it seems its not in messaging.
This is my observation... wondering if any body sees the same thing.
1. If the message is no longer on the server, upon the next Send/Receive, the message is removed from PPC.
2. If a message is not read on PPC, it will not be removed from PPC no matter if it is still on the server or not
2. There is no universal rules as to when a message is removed from the server when it is accessed via POP3
3. For gmail, this is configurable (Mail Settings>Forwarding and POP>[keep Gmail's copy in the Inbox, archive Gmail's copy, trash Gmai's copy])
4. For adelphia.net, a message is not removed no matter if only header or full body is downloaded. A message is only removed when accessed via desktop email software (if the software is NOT configured to leave a copy of the email on ther server)
5. For netzero.net, a messsage is not removed from the server if only header is downloaded to PPC. A message is removed from the server if full body is downloaded PPC.
So if one wants to keep a copy of gmail's email on the PPC, one has to set up Gmail to "keep Gmail's copy in the Inbox" in the "Forwarding and POP" setting.
One also must configure desktop email to keep a copy on the server. For Outlook 2003, this setting is found on the "Advanced" tab right under the POP3/SMTP port settings.
That's some good observations sumtingwong. I could care less about gmail since all junk go through gmail. I'm more conserned about my domain pop accounts' email disappearing from my PPC. I will leave the messages on all 3 dedicated servers for the next few day to test your observations. stay tuned..
ps. damn this site is crawling. is it getting DDoS'ed?
Site's been crawling for days now........new servers?
Anyway - i can find no way to stop the mails dissapearing on the PPC. So, I have worked round it by creating a 'keep' folder and I simply move the mails I want to that after reading them. Not ideal but it works for now.
R
I left the messages on my mail servers while picking up full email from my PPC mail client. As sumtingwong posted, the mail doesn't disappear from my PPC anymore. I have successfuly sent received mail the past 3 days on 3 different email servers. All email are still on my PPC. I will delete all mail from the servers and see if the emails remain on the PPC.
ps. I pick up mail on both my own email servers and gmail.
I'm starting to get annoyed. Just recently, my Gmail emails are disappearing. But my emails from my own email servers are still on my PPC which doesn't disappear like the Gamil emails. The most anoying thing is, when I delete the emails from my PPC that belongs to my email servers, the same emails are redownloaded again. It's like the PPC email client doen't know the emails have already been downloaded. This doesn't happen to my other phones with email clients.
WTF, are there any other email clients we can use instead of the built in POS Outlook?

BUG? HTC Mail delete emails on Server

Hi
I`ve a big problem with HTC-Mail.
I have HTC-Mail configured as follows:
- POP3
- T-Mobile.de settings
- "Delete Mail on Server" = no
HTC-mail delete emails on the server.The option "Delete Mails on Server" is not select. If I will empty the trash then the emails deleted on the server!
The same effect when the option is select. The same effect when the option is selected.
I`ve the problem with Stock- and Custom-ROM (Modaco, Pay`s)
Does anyone have the same problem?
Can anyone help me?
Sorry for my bad english!
Johnny
The problem must be just with pop. IMAP does not seem to suffer from this issue.
I've got pop setup and that doesn't delete mail.
Is there no solution to the problem of pop3?
I need pop not imap

The solution is probably to choose another mail client. I've often heard K9 mail recommended, but since I use Gmail I've not bothered to take a look.
I suspect that the issue you are having with your device is that the "Delete Mails on Server" option is really referring to what the app should do after it has downloaded new emails - not to what you subsequently do with the email.

Dave
Afaik, pop has a option to keep mails on server. Imap will keep them there anyways. You should have no probs with that option set.
Edit. Will check when i get home. I could ofc be wrong
Ok:
My settings:
Gmail: pop3/imap forwarding:
Pop download: Keep Gmail's copy in inbox
On the desire the same as yours. It hasn't deleted a single mail since i got my desire.
I think if it's a problem it's a problem with gmail, since i doubt the phone can tell the server what to do.

I have the same problem with HTC's e-mail application.
I am using pop3 and havn't checked the option to delete mail on server but it still does it. Really annoying.
It's almost certainly a problem with the HTC mail app. I have the same issue with a POP account that I have; doesn't seem to make a difference whether the '..mail on server' is on or off.
It also re-downloads emails continously unless they have been deleted from another source (web client or Outlook).
K9 seems to ok but stills needing polishing up. It does have many options that that built in one doesnt' marking emails being one.
Me having this problem with POP too. So I switched to IMAP
I do not have these problems, but if t-mobile does not support IMAP (which is imho better than POP3), try K-9 Mail:

Just saw this thread - on my Incredible with stock Froyo the HTC email application uses POP3 with my email server and has an option in Settings for "Delete emails on server" unchecked most times.
I say most times because it will, at seemingly random times, re-check that option and delete mail directly from the server that I've just viewed and deleted through the phone UI. This option has seemingly self-flipped a few times since I've had Froyo and seems to be a bug.

HTC Desire's mail client

I just picked up my Desire a couple days ago and all-in-all I'm pretty pleased with it! ..I just had some questions regarding the pre-installed mail client for the desire that some of you may be able to answer. (F.Y.I. the mail app is using my Gmail account by default)
1. Is there a way for the mail client to automatically sort mails once its received? For example, if I were to receive an email from my co-worker, the app would automatically sort that email to the "Work" Folder without me having to do it manually.
2. It seems when you open up the mail client, each mail is displayed by the sender's email address, not the sender's actual name. Even though I have the email address registered to their actual name in my phonebook, it still displays the emails by address and mail subject in small print below it. (On the other hand, the sender's name is displayed under the Messages App...But that only works for people communicating via SMS..)
Does anyone know how to fix these two issues. It would really make my life a little easier.
Big thanks in advanced!
No one knows how to fix this issue?
Hm, i don't have these issues. My desire is showing names just fine, even if they are not in my contact list...
Sorting problem...hm...i've done that with vip option in a mail app. Just add some contacts in vip section and all mail recieved from them will go in that section...

If you are using gmail, or some mail client that supports filtering. You could apply filters to specific people. That filter will automatically apply label to every mail from that contact (will put every mail from that contact(s) to specific folder)...

[Q] Questions about Mail and Exchange and Hotmail

Hey everyone,
Today i thought i might try setting up my Desire HD to sync with Hotmail via Exchange. Setup was easy as hell, just had to enter my e-mail adress and password, the rest was done automatically.
The Calendar syncs well, so do the contacts, but what bugs me is the mail client:
I like the fact that i can choose that attachments don't download, but here are my problems:
When i open an E-Mail on my Desktop, the mail gets marked as read on the Hotmail site and on my phone.
When i open a mail on my phone however, i go back to the list of mails. Then, the phone removes all messages from my phone and redownloads them. Now the mail i just read is marked as unread. Anyone know how to fix this?
Another thing: Is it possible to actually show all my E-mails on my Desire HD with the mail app? When it syncs it always shows X/285. Once x has reached 35 it stops. (i have more than 285 mails in my inbox).
Hope to find some help!

htc email app

Hi there, i have a question for you..
i decided to use imap on my email, before i used pop without saving emails on server..
so i configured the imap email on my pc client and uploaded all the emails in the server just dragging in the incoming folder..
now it seems that there are two date, the first about the receiving and the second about the upload date into the server..
the problem is that the htc app sort the email with the second date and not the first..
so now in the app home i see the wrong date, but in the email the date is correct..
is there a way to sort the email by the real date??
i see that if i use pop3 tha date are good! so..could be a server issue? should i try another email app? any suggestion?
