I use GPRS to connect and download emails. After I delete some emails and reconnect, sometimes they will redownload again. And after a few days, the emails seem to automatically dissapear from my inbox.
Is this a setting issue or a OS issue? Appreciate any help!
What do you use? Pop3 or Exchange?
Exchange: The mails are kept only for a few days on your device. You can set that time period in Active Sync in the options for email.

The same applies to POP3 - there is a setting in the account for only downloading messages from eg. last 3 days
Thanks for the replies...
Im using POP, and am not activesyncing to my desktop, so that shouldnt have caused the mails to dissapear. Am only connecting to my email via GPRS, and the older mail in my inbox will just dissapear as I download new mail. I think it is generally after 5 days, thou I havent really tracked the trend.
The only setting I can find is the one that says download mail from the server - last XX days. But surely this should not delete the emails that I have kept in my inbox?
Any ideas?

Thats exactly what it does! It doesn't delete them off the server, but each time you send receive, it refreshes your mailbox with only the mail that meets the criteria. Simply change it to 30 days or something - but if you have lost of mail, do the next send receive over wifi or activesync.
(Oh and why dont you sync? If you lose/break your device, activesync means you have all your contacts/calendar/emails ready to sync to a replacement in seconds)

How else do you access your email? For instance, I also download my mail with thunderbird which takes them off the server. This means next time my pda syncs the emails will disappear off the pda. Also make sure you are downloading all mail and not just that from the last xx days
Similar problem here
I'm using Gmail with pop access and my messages seem to disappear from the device too. They are still on the server, but if I read them once they tend to disappear on their own, often that same day. This seems really strange because I have set to download messages from the past 7 days. I've got Automatic Send/Receive checking every 5 minutes. I didn't have this problem at all under WM5. I've had it with each WM6 version I've tried...Black 2.0,2.5, and LVSW.
Hi,
For keeping 30 days worth of email on your PDA for GMail if you use the username setting "Recent:[email protected]" . This is how I have mine setup and I get to keep 30 days of emails without the disappearing after a couple of days
Cheers

AHAH....

It worked!

Thank you SO much. This problem with dissapearing messages was driving me nuts. Actually I was also wondering what that "Recent" ment as even Gmail never mentioned anything about that option.
does this work for verizon pop3 mail too. Im having the same problems as well with disapearing email.
Hi Folks,
Wonder if anyone can help me with this...
I am using an AT&T Tilt2
Stock ROM
TF3D Running
Email application that comes with the phone
Email server type POP3
Email sorting set to "Received"
When emails arrive, they are sorted based on when they arrive, not when they were sent by the sender/writer. Since the "Newest" emails are pulled down from the server first, this has the email traffic displayed on my phone out of order. Also, the phone displays the time of the email as the time the device actually received it, rather than when the email was sent by the sender (as is done by Outlook).
This drives me a little nuts as I get many, many emails in a day and sometimes the "conversation" seems a little dis-joineted as the messages are out of order...
So now my question: Is there a hack/fix/registry tweak that would sort email based on when it was sent by the sender rather than when it arrived at the phone?
I would rather not move away from the stock email application as I very much like the "Preview Envelope" in TF3D (although it would be great if there was a "Delete" button on the preview - but that's another topic!).
Thanks
guys, I got a really odd issue with my tilt 2 and yahoo email. I got the phone setup receiving emails from a couple of my email account, yahoo and gmail. For some reason, one of my yahoo email always download all of the mails after like a day or two of use despite the fact I set it to 1 day or 3 days. What is wrong with it?
Finally!! Someone who can relate to what I'm going through.
Any fixes for this? It had downloaded over 1400 emails in one Yahoo account and everything on the phone was lagging. There were some areas I couldn't get to: Home Screen. I ended up doing another hard reset and reloading the data from there. The only thing that sucks about that is that I lose the threaded SMS that I had.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ditto on the problem. I haven't figured out why it does this yet...
same issue has happened a few times to me. only solution I found was going to yahoo on my pc & archiving old emails so I keep only 100-200 emails in my inbox.

This is a rare issue for me. It's happened to me less than 10 times (on my HD2 and my TP2).
The only thing I do when I see it trying to download 300+ (instead of the 5 days of mail I want), I press Menu > Send/Receive to force-stop the download. When I retry, it goes back to downloading the 5 days-worth of mail.
Hi Guys,
Im having e-mail problems with my desire.
I have 4 accounts,
Gmail
Hotmail friends
Work
Hotmail personal.
the first 3 all work fine, but the 4th one, hotmail personal doesnt work.
Entered all the correct e-mails, changed the settings so it only downloads last 30 days, and nothing comes through, then change to download last 60 e-mails and it downloads emails from 2003 (first ever emails)
Why would this happen?
Any help would be helpful.
Thanks
Hi everyone, lately after the OTA update of my Desire HD with Android 2.3.5 ( 3.13.707.4 ) i experience strange problems with the Mail application. The mail applications was setup before and now with my gmail accound, using ActiveSync. Before the update my mail was pushed well to say so, every time i received an email in seconds was on the phone.
Now, the settings in the Mail app are the same, push mail, but when i receive an email, even i see that the Mail client is syncing the mail will not appear, after several manual refresh the mail appears.
Another strange thing, during the day i don't receive the mail as was supposed to, although the mail is setup to push mail. If a let the phone alone and i do not check the mails manual, after 2-3 hours the client suddenly sync all the emails..
Dose anyone experience this problem?
P.S. i setup the Gmail program on my HTC and this is working well but i don't really like the program, i want to use Mail.
Thank you for being patient to read this...long post
Same Problem On DHD 3.12.405.8
Hy there,
it's been a while, since 3.0 Sense (1st Gingerbread update); even custom roms for our device or from other porting have this issue. I have stock www3.12.405.1
Now it seems to me i found a way out. Go to your google account on the web, and make sure pop3 is disabled in account settings.
Let me know if it works.
Bye.

Hello, ok now i disable the POP access from Gmail settings, today i will test to see if the mail behavior is ok and i will post the results.
Till now, after i disable tht POP access i test by sending an e'mail from another account and still no luck, the mail didn't come on my DHD, i will wait more and see if other mail are pushed on the device.
Thaks
This strange problem happened with me both in Gmail and Yahoo. I finally figured out the solution. Go to the account settings and manually change the settings. You will find that the mail application has added "htc" in the incoming server settings. Just delete "htc" and you will be good to go.
SO incoming settings for Gmail should be:
imap.gmail.com
NOT
htc.imap.gmail.com
This also applies to Yahoo mail if you use it, just remove "htc" from the server address.
Ok, but imap.google.com is for IMAP, i use exchange settings and in Mail application m.google.com
Ok, till now no change in the Mail behavior, still syncs whenever it wants apparently.
In Gmail settings POP3 is OFF and IMAP ON
Any one, any idea?
Strange thing....i observed that if i setup the default gmail application to sync mails the Mail app syncs to

Any ideas about this behavior?
yesterday i let the phone to sync only the exchange account and my mails were downloaded randomly, there were situations when the mail won't download even if i open the Mail app and refresh manual. I have to refresh for about 3-4 times for the mails to be sync....all without an error

I have the same issue. After coming out of airplane mode If I manually refresh for new mail across several exchange and pop accounts including GMAIL. It seems as if nothing happens for ages before it completes. However if you start the refresh, immediately cancel it and refresh again it works as it should...
Thanks! I will try this today and post the results

ActiveSync is not pop or imap... it's exchange.
Do not configure anything in your mail app or gmail app.
Go in Configuration->Account and sync->Add account.
Choose 'Enterprise' and fill this info of Exchange mail.
For ex:
\[email protected]
password
server=m.google.com
tic 'SSL'
then follow instruction, you're done (and leave auto/push for frequency)
All your mail will be in the default mail app.
those are exact my settings, today i delete the account and create another one, thinking that my be a problem because the account was created previously the OTA update.
THE PROBLEM...is annoying!!! In the first hours the mail came as it supposed to ( push mail ), around 2PM, after several hours of good time ( no relations, just as a fact ) the mail was, again, syncing but no mail.....that was strange, i click and open the Mail app, refresh manualy, no new mail......i check the gmail account on my computer and were several mails in the inbox. After that i click refresh in the Mail app and still nothing, i click the button for 3-4 times and the mails appears. WHY???
i wand my nokia 3310 back (
kidding....
hum... then I can't understand.
I have no idea if it's on your phone side or server side.
You have to compare... but not easy.
You have to find a way to isolate phone and server. If you have another phone, configure it to check. If you have the same effect with more than one device maybe it's on server side. You can also try to flash another ROM. I'm with ICS and it's working smoothly (4 exchange account and 1 IMAP).
Sorry to not be able to help more, never encounter this problem.
For me it's pushed with exchange, so the sending is manage by the server.
Make sure also that you're still connected to a network. Try browsing Internet.
Just ideas... good tricky question...
Thanks!
I tested out a few days ago, i configured the Gmail app from my HTC to sync the e-mails.....at the same time, the Mail app was configured as today. Surprise! when an e-mail arrived ( pushed ) in Gmail app arrived in Mail app as well
I thought that the problem was resolved and i disable the sync for the Gmail app leaving just the Maill to sync.....then you now all.....the mail arrives when my phone wants to )
Still an interesting thread
today i decided to do a factory defaults.....i erased everything and the SD too.
still the same problem, for the first mails arrived was ok...were pushed. after 15-20 min. the rest of the incoming mails no push, only after i have to do a manual refresh for 3-4 times
i will eat this phone!
Does this problem happen to you on Wifi and 3G? If it only happens on 3G then I think your network provider uses server caching. I have the same problem with my network and Whatsapp.
I tried both, 3g and wi fi....the same

Ok....i think i have the answer for this incredible behavior of this Mail app
Yesterday i was talking with a friend about this strange behavior and we start doing some random tests with different settings in the Mail app till we discover this:
The default settings of peak time start was 08:00 and peak time end 20:00
We change this to: peak time start 07:00 peak time end 6:59
now it's working well....i think it's a bug here because i use the peak time till the OTA update with this settings:
peak start 07:00 peak end 22:00 and i had no problem.
Thank you for your answers all !!!!
i think we can close this thread
Glad you figured it out
Now it's weekend....and my mail starts again.....my mails are pushed when the Maill app wants. Hope it's just for weekend.....
