I have installed the ShadoW_2.0 TE ROM, and went to set up my Gmail email via IMAP. However, Windows 6.1 doesn't seem to want to allow me to set this account up manually, just via automatic config. Unfortunately, the auto config for Gmail sets the account up as POP3, not IMAP...
Am I missing some secret switch here to tell WM6.1 Messaging not to use auto-config settings? The onboard Help file says that you can turn off auto-config, but I can't seem to find that setting...?
from the gmail setting page......
To configure IMAP for your Windows Mobile 6 device, just follow these steps:
1. Enable IMAP in your Gmail account settings.
2. Open the Start menu and select Programs > Messaging > New E-mail Account.
3. Enter your Gmail username (including '@gmail.com') in the E-mail Address field.
4. Uncheck the box to get settings automatically from the Internet and select Next.
5. Select Internet e-mail as your email provider in the drop-down menu.
6. Enter your name as you want it to appear in sent emails.
7. Enter a descriptive name for the email account and select Next.
8. Enter 'imap.gmail.com' in the Incoming Mail Server field.
9. Select IMAP4 as the Account type from the drop-down menu and select Next.
10. Enter your Gmail username (including '@gmail.com') and password.
11. Select Next.
12. Enter 'smtp.gmail.com' in the Outgoing (SMTP) Mail Server field.
13. Make sure that the Outgoing server requires authentication box is checked.
14. Select the Advanced Server Settings link.
15. Make sure that the Require SSL box is checked for both incoming and outgoing emails.
16. Select The Internet as the network connection from the drop-down menu.
17. Select Done and then Next.
18. Select how often you want your phone to send/receive emails from the drop-down menu.
19. For more download options, select the Review all download settings link.
20. Select Finish.
Thanks, but...
You're right, and quite quick. However, on the ROM that I'm running (don't know if this is a WM6.1 or ROM-specific issue), I don't have the checkbox for step 4.
4. Uncheck the box to get settings automatically from the Internet and select Next.
Help?
I found a workaround, albeit a bit sloppy. If you provide a non .com ending it will ask you if you want to check for settings (ie [email protected]). You then have to go back and change the settings when the account is setup.
Like I said, sloppy.
I am running Shadow 2.0 and using Gmail with no problems...maybe you need a hard reset!

Sloppy, yes, but it worked. Once I put in the different TLD at the end, I did see the option to auto-config or not. When I got past that, the rest of the Gmail IMAP config worked fine. Thanks for the help!

I am sorry, probably this is not the right place for this post, but i was curious about this thread. I always access my gmail through pop3, so what are the main differences and advantages of choosing IMAP?
Thanks in advance

I did a search for the following criteria "download FULL messages", and nothing was returned that satisfied my question.
I have looked everywhere on the tmo-dash and cannot see a way to download Full email messages. For me, its a bother to read a few sentences and then request download of the rest of the message for every single message I receive. Generally, my individual emails are not more that a few hundred kb's anyway. Also, there is no way to view msg size in the email display. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any and all replies.
Directions
For WM 6:
from messaging, highlight the account.
then:
Menu>settings>Next (until you get to the message format page)> choose "entire message" from the second option which is "message Download limit"

Thanks for your reply. I am using my corporate Exchange server 2003, and when I click MENU the settings option is greyed out.??
I do not use an exchange server, so I do not have any experience with that. For other types of accounts (imap and pop), you cannot access the settings while you are send/receiving. I suppose that if there is a way to stop the account from updating, you could change it that way (maybe?)
its an option in activestink. tools.options. select the email under the exchange account, press settings. its obvious from there...

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, the Vista WMDC looks like this. I do not even have the opportunity to select and/or highlight the exchange email in order to change the settings.

How do I set up my email so that it leaves a copy on the server so when I get to my laptop the message can be downloaded? I do my email on my laptop but need to be able to receive / send email from my HTC as well. Thanks!
By using POP account setup. I have POP on my TP2 and on my home computer... On my home computer I have set on the account settings that when I remove the email in my Outlook it will remove it from the server...

So ... what is the setting on your TP2 that specifies, "do not remove from server"?
There is a setting on the edvanced settings menu when you setup the account, or go to edit the account settings.

use imap instead of pop. pop downloads messages and wont mark them as read on the server or delete them after a month or whenever you set it, and some pop clients delete the email from the server after its pulled. imap is much more advanced and if you can get imap-idle you get push email support.
Leave Email on Server, and other Advanced Settings
I have been frustrated with this issue also. I use my phone for POP email when I am away from my computer. It is almost always business, and I need to keep records of communications in one place. Using Outlook, I archive all old emails to a network server. Since installing my current ROM, I have been unable to find access to the email size, signature and delete handling options. As a result, emails that I delete from the phone also get deleted from the server before I download them to my PC. This is a big problem since I sometimes delete messages from my phone without taking action - planning to deal with them the next day from the office. Dealing with multiple email accounts and up to 50 messages per day makes the phone very cluttered unless I regularly clear them out.
I just discovered the "back door" into the old WinMo style advanced email settings using a tip from another thread regarding email signatures.
I am using the Energy ROM (08-Sep-10, which I love). Here is how to get to the advanced email settings:
1) From any email Inbox (not the Sense screen) tap Menu/Tools/Options to get to the Messaging settings page.
2) Tap an email account on the list.
3) Tap "Send/Receive Schedule".
4) Tap "Advanced Settings" at the bottom of the screen.
5) Choose your option under "When deleting messages:"
Other advanced options are also available this way, including email signatures for each account, as well as download size and scheduling.
I'm happy again!

Thank you for resurrecting this 9 month old thread.
I too thank you for posting this. I needed to change this on one of my accounts but had forgotten where the change needed to be made. You saved me lots of time searching.
Again, thanks much for the direction.
Its been a week since i first got my desire and i am absolutely loving it but i have a few questions about it:
1. How do you turn off the vibrating feedback when dialing a number in the keypad?
2. In the Gmail app, how do i set it to auto check for email when i open it, currently when i open the app i have to manually press refresh to get it to check my inbox.
3. Another concerning the Gmail app how do i get it to check my inbox every hour?
I have the manual but not the phone (yet) I think I can help you with #1 and #3
1) Page 67 in the manual: "On the Home screen, press MENU and then tap Settings > Language & keyboard > Touch Input.
Other settings.
Vibrate when typing.
Select to enable vibration feedback whenever you tap a key on the keyboard."
3) page 73 in the manual: "Changing account settings
You can change settings such as the sync frequency and the types of information
synchronized, the kinds of notification you receive, and the way that account information is
displayed.
Press HOME > MENU, and then tap Settings > Accounts & sync.
Tap the account that you want to edit.
Edit the account settings."
I don't know about #2 but I hope this can help you with your other questions.
thanks for this.
will have a solid read when i get back from work later.
does anyone know the answer to no 2? its kind of annoying that the Gmail client doesnt check for new email when you open it?
the Gmail app is set up for push by default when you sign into your google account during set up.
it is a push mail client, and emails should come in as soon as they are received (or within a couple of minutes) as long as you have an active internet connection.
I have two gmail accounts set up on my TP2. The issue is at midnight the emails delete themselves off of my phone. Im not really sure how to search for the answer so hopefully someone can walk me through what I am doing wrong. Im sure its something simple but Im lost on what to do. Thanks for the help in advanced
Did you set it as POP or IMAP? Regardless, it sounds like you have yours configured to download only 1 day. I could be way off base but you might want to check your advanced settings to see your email downloads. You should have options for 1 day, 7 days, 1 month, and All.
Good luck.
I have it set up as IMAP. I made my way to download messages where it says download messages for today, 3,5,7,30, or all. I did have it set to todays messages. I set it to "past three days" to see if that was the fix. I had thought that it only downloaded email from those previous days in which I really didnt want to download being I read them all ready. I would have a few thousand if I did 30 days in which would be unbearable, unless I can just archive them and dont worry about them downloading. Ill give it a try, thanks.
that was the fix. thanks for your help
You can have your email PUSHed to your phone by setting up Gmail in active sync...

I had this problem on my BlackBerry, too, and I figured it was some stupid RIM thing. But now I'm having it on my Touch Pro 2.
I want to run on WiFi but with the radio off -- like when I'm roaming someplace expensive, but in a hotel where there's WiFi. When I do this, I can browse just fine, but the Inbox (standard WM mail program) says it can't make a connection. When I turn the radio back on, the mail comes through... but I don't know which connection it's using.
Anybody know how to fix this? Or at least, what's going on?
I dont know exactly what the problem is here, but i've always had this problem, I actually havent even tried just wifi in a while. I would say just use the http version of your email when you turn the radio off to save the frustration
I found the answer.
The connection that the Inbox uses to contact the server is set in the server settings -- so you can have a different approach for each server, I guess. Anyway, it's:
Tools > Options
Then tap the name of the server you want to change. On the next screen, tap Edit Account Setup. Then it's Next, Next, Next, Next, (4 of them) until you get to the screen that says Outgoing (SMTP) mail server: and lets you set up an outgoing server. At the bottom is a link that says Advanced Server Settings. Tap that, and look at the pull-down for Network Connection. There should be one called The Internet, which does NOT exist in Start > Settings > Connections. As far as I can tell, that's the WiFi. If you choose that, then tap Next until you tap Finished, Inbox will retreive E-mail via WiFi even if the radio is turned off.

Thanks!!! That works well on every pop-email-account for me!
But how can I choose the connection for my hotmail-account in the inbox? I found no way to prevent using the GSM-connection without switching the radio off, when I try to update my hotmail-account.
Anybody knows how to fix this?
