So I have a question. I've got two accounts on my email tab on TP2. My gmail and my hotmail. Both are set to check but the only one that ever checks unless I manually tell it to check is gmail. Anyone else have this problem?
Open your Windows Live app.
Tap Menu.
Tap Options
Tap Sync Schedule
Set accordingly (you probably have this set to Manual at the moment)
Tap Done
Tap Done
Thanks muchly

Hi!
I wanted to set up my mail account on my TP2. After entering the data i saw that i just typed in my mail address incorrectly. After changing the address the account does not open anymore, nor can i delet it - it actually does nothing. Do you have any idea how i can delete it?
regards
click mail tab
press menu
press accounts
press accounts
highlight the account you want to delete
press Menu
Press delete
i´ve got the same problem with my german touch pro 2.
your tutorial doesn´t work for me. if i press menu it is going into incoming mails of the account.
any help??
if you press the 'x' after it goes into the account and do it all again, the email account you last opened will be highlighted and you will be able to delete it then
I noticed a bug with the email a few days ago. When i hit send and receive it says downloading 1/1001 and freezes for a while.
i don´t know why, but now i can tap&hold on the account and delete it.
maybe i had first to donwload my emails... thanks
I'm having problems with this... I have an account which isn't working, it won't synchronise (inbox empty) and it would let me delete the account. 'Delete' is grayed out.
p_shep, it will be grayed out if it is an exchange account, as it has to be deleted from another spot in the system. Are you using an exchange email account?

Nope, it's a Yahoo account :-/
It's like a point a click adventure game this...
Found out how to delete accounts:
FRom emails page
Menu -> accounts -> acounts -> menu -> tools -> options
(basically get to the email options page where the tabs 'accounts', 'message', 'address' and 'storage' are shown along the bottom)
Check the box 'display account picker when opening messaging'
Then click:
Menu -> accounts -> accounts
The account picker should be shown
Highlight the relevent account, and it's just menu -> delete.
What a mess. They don't make it easy do they?
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.
how do you change the email notification tone??? its driving me cazy and i cant seem to figure out how or where...
Do this...
Click on the menu button while in Gmail (this is for Gmail, I don't use the included email service)
Go to Settings
If using more than one Email account select the account you want to make changes to
Scroll to the bottom of the settings list
Select "labels to notify"
Select inbox or priority inbox whichever you use (you can set up each to have different notifications)
A popup box will appear
Place a check on the email notifications if it isn't already checked
Select ringtones
Choose whatever ringtone you may want and hit ok
on the popup select ok
you have now set your gmail to whatever ringtone you may want
If you have any problems let me know.
Thank you very much that worked!

Your welcome, and I'm glad that it worked for you
I have set my lock screen to "productivity", so I can see my alerts, the "issue" is that my GMail app notifications do not appear, am I missing a setting somewhere or is this the same for everyone?
Well, I can only select MAIL in Settings, GMail is missing.. seems to be a missing Software Feature.. Maybe because GMail isn't a Sense-App?

Same for me, the option in settings allows you to only pick accounts set up in the Email app.
Another annoyance!
