Do you get the slide/dropdown when you tap the INBOX on the TOP LEFT corner? if so, attach a screenshot.

Thunder,
I get identical issues when the battery on my BA dies, or I remove it. The problem happens as a result of corruption in the cemail.vol file in the root of your device, and is present in all the WM5 builds. I suspect, that you are seeing something similar in relation to the use of the hotmail account creating a problem in the file. While I don't use hotmail on my BA, I'm willing to bet that this is one of those system level bugs that are not going to be easily fixed, and that you'll need to either live with it, or find a way around it (like not using the inbox app for POP accounts, etc.)

Pop3 Inbox - messages getting deleted

I have a PDA2K and am being driven mad by my inbox getting emptied.
I have my home pc outlook express set on leave a copy of messages on server.
When I receive an email on the imate it goes into my inbox - great
When I look at mail on my home pc - it also goes into my inbox - great
When I next do a send & receive on the imate it removes the email I have received on the pc from the imate inbox
Is this normal?
Can I keep my Imate inbox intact and delete only what I want to?
Apols if this has been covered before - I have searched but am going crazy
TIA
Paul
half the problem is sorted
I discovered that I was not leaving a copy of my messages on my email server because I had 2 outlook express accounts going for the same mail and only one was configured to leave a copy on the server
However I would still like to know if it is possible to keep my Imate inbox intact (& under my control) even when the messages are no longer on my pop3 server
Paul
Email being deleted
Is there not a tick box in Pocket Outlook on your iMate that chooses whether email is deleted on PC? In email account settings or something like that.....Don't have my 2i with me so not entirely sure, but think it right. :?
Still perplexed
Hi Shane
I am using the Pop3 mail but even when I tried Outlook I cannot find any option like this
Are there any other users who have an Inbox that does not de-populate
Thanks
Paul
On Server
what email provider do you use? I'm use gmail, and "leave downloaded email on server" option is on email setting. You should log on on your email account and go to setting, search for "leave downloaded email on server", thick on it. :wink:
Thanks
Yes I have set the server to leave a copy - however after around 3 months they will be deleted when my mailbox gets full. I presume they will then be deleted off my I-mate. What I want is a way to permantantly store them in my Inbox unless I manually delete them.
Paul
It sounds like exactly the same issue I have.
I have one PC where I download my emails to - which deletes off server once downloaded. This is fine.
Though on my XDA2i when I go to the POP3 account in messaging I can see all my emails - but when I attempt a send/receive, it deletes all previous emails from the inbox and donwloads any new if there are any.
It is like it is synchronizing the inboxes of what is on server. This should not be the case - I would expect this behaviour if it was setup to be IMAP , but not POP3.
Thanks
I agree nsm - it behaves differently to other Pop3 accounts - I wonder if there is a way to send the inbox to SD storage and protect it that way.
The whole lot went again today when I set up a pop3 a/c on a new pc at work and forgot to leave a copy of messages on server
The only (in-elegant) way round this I have found is to create a new folder on my Imate called inbox copy and manually copy the important messages over as they arrive.
Surely there must be an easier way
Paul
Me too
Hey,
I am facing the exact same problem as u guys... moment I download the entire mail... Even aster I check the leave a copy on the server checkbox. Is there a way to keep the mails?
In messages/inbox on your Blue Angel, tap accounts and then accounts again.
Tap the Storage tab at the bottom of the screen
make sure that delete items is set to manual. Otherwise the emails are deleted automatically when it sees that they are no longer on the server.
Also, try setting the email account to show all messages, and not just from the last x days (in advanced settings for each account)
It's usually these two that cause this.
have you tried...
setting "receive message headers only" on the handheld? This works fine for me...
rhedgehog - thanks - have made sure items are only deleted manually
quote "Also, try setting the email account to show all messages, and not just from the last x days (in advanced settings for each account) "
Is this setting on the pda

application to setup hotmail as push mail

i successfully set up my hotmail in my X1, set the sync frequency to As Items Arrive, intending to activate push mail.
but now everytime i have new mail, i am not notified at all, not even showing of the numbers of new mails in the Today Screen.
i still need to manually go Menu > Send/Receive to update my mailbox.
any1 got solution or what application i need install?
thanks
yes: GMAIL lol
This would be a workaround, but it would work.
1. Create a Gmail account.
2. Forward your Hotmail to Gmail.
3. Set up your Gmail so that you can reply using your Hotmail account. (yeah you can do that...nifty eh?)
4. Go to your Outlook on your phone and set up "gmail-sync" as your push mail account to retrieve from. It's in beta right now but is working 100% perfectly on my Kaiser. (I'm in here because I'm getting a SEX1 in a couple days ) I frickin' LOVE IT - it pushes IMMEDIATELY as soon as the mail comes in. Instructions here:
http://www.google.com/mobile/products/sync.html#p=winmo
5. Now all your e-mails will be stored to your phone permanently too, instead of the inbox getting wiped every time you send receive, or whenever you have your timing set up for that.
6. Forget about Hotmail and start using Gmail lol. Just kidding...but if you set it up that way, you can still use your Hotmail completely, Gmail will be practically invisible to you. (Or is it the other way around? lol)
Seriously, Google's free push e-mail service is amaaazing. I am LOVING it.
ohhh pls tell me how to fwd mails
in aol /hotmail pls
Syncing frequency to As Items Arrive works perfectly for me.
I confirm that both hotmail and gmail works as a push mail on my XPERIA.
For hotmail, you can just use windows live connection setup and choose/set "as items arrive" and set the time as "always". For gmail, you can use the activesync feature on outlook mobile as have been told by deezy7 above.
Or else, you can use the feature from Emoze service.
hi all.
thanks for ur advices.
i did add my hotmail using the Windows Live program, did set to "as items arrive" and did set for "always"
but nothing ever appear in my pjone for new mail unless i do it manually using "send/receive"
i prefer to use my hotmail acc ley.
any1 pls help mi.
thanks

But I have a question. Now only one of my mail accounts deliver mail. Is there an option to set more e-mail accounts to use push mail feature ?
If so how to do it ?

If you would like to have a free account for push mail service you should try Emoze. I have been playing with Emoze and honestly it helps me much to get my XPERIA have numerous mail account which works as a push mail ....
Ok, I did some workaround, created another gmail account and forwarded all my accounts to that one, and I receiving only that one.
Maybe not the best solution , but I prefer not to use online services like mobipush and such where u leave them your user name and password for each account u have...
As an alternative to Emoze i use Seven Beta. It provides near realtime push on most types of account.

Hey icbicb, in response to your other question as well, my suggestion would have been to do what you already did, which is create another gmail acccount I also prefer not to use any other online services, and was very happy when Google came out with Gmail Sync, since I've already been using my gmail account for five years, and don't have to give out sensitive information to yet another company
To those here using other services, I'd suggest you give Gmail Sync a try. Deedee, I noticed you said that Seven Beta provides you with near realtime push. I've noticed with Gmail Sync, and having my Gmail open at the same time on my pc at work, that Gmail Sync pushes in actual realtime! I'll hear the notification on my phone first before my page refreshes to show me my new e-mail! Also, I should mention that I am using gmail plug-ins to autoupdate the screen when new e-mails come in, and the Gmail sync sends them to my phone simultaneously or even before my page refreshes, thus, I know that it is actual real-time. Just like blackberry's service! I'm in love with it right now
icbicb, I'm glad it's working out for you , loyjwe I hope you are able to give this a try...
it's a good solution, but if i transfert the mail from hotmail to gmail they will be of the hotmail box...
And it's a probleme for me...
do you have a solution for that
(excus me for my bad english)
Big advantage of Seven Beta is that it works for almost all POP3/IMAP email systems and it keeps all the accounts separate so that replies from your PPC keep the correct return address.
I have it working on Gmail x 2, Hotmail and a POP3 account and all four accounts are independant of each other.
I said near real time sync as i didn't want to claim real time in case it wasn't. I rarely use the web interface since starting Seven so haven't been in a position to check. As i tell the BB users at work if you have time to compare the two delivery times then maybe you don't need a BB.

Hi titeloo...bad english is okay lol, but, I don't really understand what you mean by "they will be of the hotmail box..." need further explanation!!
@Deedee, gmail does that also....so... for example, when you get mail forwarded to your gmail account, if it was originally sent to your hotmail account, when you reply on the phone, it will reply from the hotmail account. Gmail's set up pretty good that way. I believe right now though they have a limit on the number of accounts you can send mail from, not sure if it is 3 or 4. So it's pretty neat that Seven Beta keeps all accounts separate ...btw very nice avatar
Seven is only restricted by the number of accounts that can be set up in WM, think it's 8 in total, that includes your ActiveSync/Exchange and SMS accounts.
Thanks for the compliment. Always prefer to use real piccies for avatars where practical.

Removing email accounts from Touch Flow screen

I am running BB Connect on my sock TMO TP2, on the mail screen I have 2 system email accounts that are not in use and would like to remove them.
Is there a way to get them not to show there?
You need to delete them from the account picker. By default, this should come up if you press the messaging key on your keyboard. Otherwise, from your inbox, tap Menu, Tools, Options, and check the "Display account picker when opening Messaging".
Once you're in the account picker, just tap and hold on the account you want to delete and tap on the context sensitive menu that pops up.
It doesn't work on the system email accounts that are associated with BB Connect for some reason. There must be a reg hack that will hide them. Or I could remove and reinstall but that is a pain.

OH, welcome to my world. I have 3 accounts that I wanted to remove so I could reinstate them again and I couldn't do it. They don't show up in the "remove account" page. I tried recreating them with the same name but the mail program wouldn't allow me to do it. So I had to rename them and now I have 6 email folders with only three that are active. How dumb.
I tried going through the registry and looking for any files that might be associated with the accounts without luck. I just need to live with it. I don't want to reinstall the ROM to start fresh.
The way I disassociated the original email boxes, if you're interested, is when I realized I didn't want to sync my Outlook box in my phone, so I removed it from the computer syncing program. That basically uninstalled whatever link my Outlook had along with all three of my external email folders. <sigh>
If it is setup to connect using Exchange, you need to remove/change the Exchange server connection in ActiveSync
Otherwise, try this
1. Click the Inbox on TF3D (I'm using v2.1 on wm6.1)
2. Menu > Tools > Options
3. Click and hold the account name > Delete
simular problem with email & TouchFLO
Hello,
I am having a simular issue with the Outlook Mobile and Touch FLO3D. I had 5 email accounts set up. Hotmail, Outlook mail and 3 POP3 accounts. For some unexplained reason this week, the 3 POP3 accounts stoped working, but were still showing up in the TouchFLO email tab. When I checked Windows Mobile email picker and setup, the accounts did not displayshow up. I tried to re-add the the accounts using the same name and credentials. I received an error that the name was already in use. So I added the 3 accouns using different names. Now I have 8 email accounts on the TouchFLO tab, and 5 in the Windows Mobile email screens. There seems to be no way to delete the accounts from TouchFLO tabs. I have also attempted to disable the TouchFLO email and to re-enable. This did not change anything. A soft reset was also no help.

runandgun,
Did you ever resolve this issue? I just had the same problem with two Gmail accounts - my Outlook account is just fine. The Gmail accounts appear on my Touchflo screen but I cannot access them. the do not show up in Account Picker, yet I cannot add accounts with the same name because "they already exist". They also do not show up when I do a "View Inbox" and examine the account drop down.
Thanks,
jisso
I guess this was never solved. I have the same exact problem and was hoping I could find a fix for it here.

Arghhh... Hotmail/Gmail sync issues

Hey All,
Had the desire for a couple of weeks now and I must say I'm impressed with it, as most of you are as well.
I've come across the following very irritating problem though:
My primary e-mail address is hotmail. Been using it for years and years and I've never had the need to change to gmail. Having switched to android now I understand that I can't sync the phone to hotmail. I have it working on pop which is 'fine' but I want proper syncing of mail and calendars which is not supported.
Fair enough, I thought this was the time I'm supposed to switch to gmail. When I booted the phone up for the first time I was asked for a gmail account for google maps, etc. and I just used one I had created a while back. Now that I'm looking to migrate to gmail completely in order to benefit from syncing, etc. I want to change this e-mail address to another gmail one.
Has anyone managed to do this without doing a factory reset on the desire??
I've tried:
i. Changing the gmail password from a pc and rebooting the phone - it just says it failed to sign in and prompts for the new password, won't let you change e-mail address though.
ii. Clearing all cache's from google related application - gtalk, gmail, maps, gapps, etc. - This doesn't work either as somehow the account information is still held.
iii. Creating a secondary e-mail address and try get everything to use it instead then remove the primary one - didn't manage either. I changed google maps, gmail and the calendar app to use the new e-mail address but it still won't let me delete the other one as it says it's being used by some other app!
Any help would be much appreciated... I really don't feel like going through a factory reset and installing everything again!
Thanks!
Go to "Menu" - "Settings" - "Accounts & Sync", tap on the Google account en tap on "Remove account". (Go back to all accounts and you can add a new Google account.)

On this subject, my advice to anyone is to get their own domain name and then use Google Apps for Domains.
At present this is what I do for my email, but if in a few years time something better than Gmail comes along, chances are I can repoint my domain to a new mail service and thus keep my email address in perpetuity.
Regards,
Dave

Really frustrating!
I got this same problem as this old post, but can not find the solution....does anyone know the answer as time has moved on and maybe it is an available solution.
My issue is that I just flashed LeeDrOid 2.3b&c to my Desire. I entered my HOTMAIL e-mail details as the first address at the set up prompt. Now i can not findout how to delete that account.
It seems that the whole Android E-mail setup and operation is not really as good as Windows Mobile! or its operator error ;-)
For my Sync'd HOTMAIL I'm currently using TouchDown and set the server name to 'm.hotmail.com' this thirdparty software allows full syncronisation to my Hotmail account both ways including any folders that i choose, apart from the deleted bin on my Webmail does not get emptied if i delete all from the TouchDown application on my Desire.
On my Gmail i have created my account in the Exchange option and used m.gmail.com for the server, whilst this gives me a view of all the account folders all of them show "no mail" even though i have set the Receive days to 30 days and know that I have e-mails in the folders that are newer than 30 days old.
I really would like a fully operational integrated IMAP set up for both my Gmail accounts (i have 2 account) and one HOTMAIL account, ideally using the built in Gmail and "standard Mail" programs that come with FROYO Sense.
So anyone know the answer to achieving this?
i) How to delete my original Hotmail account entered on start up of my new ROM.
ii) Is it possible to set up withing the Sense builtin applications for Exchange Gmail and also for Exchange Hotmail so that i can do away with hte TouchDown application?
Thanx for any assistance on this.

[Q] Syncing Problems

Hey guys, I have tried taking care of my problem with sync'ing. I've searched the forums here on XDA, and searched Google. But I want to start using XDAndroid 2.2 regularly and I am having some problems with sync'ing.
I have three e-mail addresses from different domains. Do i need to sync all of these? or do I only need to sync the address that my android account is set up on on my phone? Also, It said I needed to enable Google Sync from my settings. Which I have been searching, and cannot find.. I feel like such a noob and once someone tells me, I'll do a big facepalm.
Please help me.

No, it is not like syncing with winmo, you only have to sync your phone with your google account....it syncs more than email
its the 7th option down under settings
are you using a current build?
I don't think I gave you enough information. I'm wanting to switch over to android. I'm currently using the latest build of the Energy ROM (SenCity style). The only reason I'm not using andriod is that I dont know how to send my contacts from Windows into the Android build.
I've been told that Google Sync does it. I was trying to enable it from my gmail account. Where do I go to get to the settings you were referring to?
Sorry about the confusion. the help is much appreciated! thanks
So if your contacts aren't already sync'd with your GMail account from WinMo, the initial sync will knock them out.
Setup PIM Backup or something similar so you can backup all your contacts. Then setup your GMail account in your Exchange settings for WinMo - so you go to Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Comm Manager -> MS Direct Push - from there you enter your GMail settings. m.google.com for the server, be sure to use ssl. I'm not positive if it does knock out your existing contacts, but if it does after you setup the server, import your contacts back from PIM Backup or whatever you used to backup your contacts, run another sync in ActiveSync (not with your computer, with GMail) - you should now have all your contacts in GMail under "My Contacts" - then you can just sync in Android. Easy.
Yeah I have all of that set up on my phone, It just says sync error.
I thought I would have to enable something in my gmail account on my computer for the sync to go through?

Are you getting the sync error in Android or WinMo? I'm going to assume WinMo.
When you setup the exchange server, ONLY check email & contacts. You can sync the calendar, but I found if you just setup your gmail account without ever visiting your calendar, the sync will fail. Other than that, I don't think there's anything to enable assuming you're using the correct settings... Always make sure to put in the entire email address, w/the @gmail.com @ the end.
I was getting the error in WinMo. Sorry about being so unclear! woops.
Hazzah! I disabled Calendars and Tasks. and now Contacts are currently being sync'd! woo! I wanted Calendars and Tasks to sync because Univ. of South Florida uses Google Apps and I had my calendar on my phone. Everyone who has android phones, just one touch and all of their calendar and schedule is on their phone. I'll just do this then haha.
Anyways, as soon as I log into Android with my gmail account will the contacts be there? Or I need to enable a sync through there? (I've had midterms this week and tonight ill be able to finally sit down and play with this).
Really Appreciate the help guys!
Edit: it is syncing but it is doing so at like one contact per 5 minutes. Maybe I need to go to an empty field to get decent reception with TMO. sigh

Hrm that seems odd to me. All my 100+ contacts sync in about a minute, on my cell radio's connection.
Tasks will never sync (I believe...) but Calendar can sync assuming you have used it on your GMail account. I'm pretty sure they mention this on the Google Sync help page
Easiest way in Android is to just setup the account in "Accounts & Sync".
If you're using an exchange account perhaps. Just sync your contacts with that account, then in android have it sync contacts.
That how I migrated from WinMo to XDANDROID. The only thing I use my gmail account for is the marketplace.
Currently, I have my contacts in my gmail account (i checked)
I booted up Android and went to Settings --> Accounts and Sync. I put in my email and password and then it asked for a username. I tried using just the begining of my email (khoyifish) and then I tried using my whole email ([email protected]) then it says retrieving account information and gets and error message. i enabled the two SSL options, because thats how the exchange works in WInMo. Any suggestions? thanks!
I'm frustrated, but I love android!
Edit: I let the WInMo Exchange run in the background, so I didnt have to worry about it taking a long time haha

May want to remove your actual email as web spiders can crawl these pages...
anyhoo, that's definitely not right. I don't know what would cause it to skip that page either... I don't know if the connection would have anything to do with it.
Also, the exchange server for GMail is m.google.com. But that shouldn't matter on Android, it should let you choose Google... Hmmmmm. Delete (move, rename) your data.img and start fresh. Cuz that's odd.
where is that data.img file? I was also thinking about formatting my SD card (after backing up cab files and pictures.
It wouldnt matter that it is the FROYO build? Should I try the other build?
