Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone else is having problems with emails for contacts showing up. What I mean is if you go into a contact and then slide across to emails, it should show all the emails from that specific contact.
This has always worked for me if something was in my inbox, but that makes it nearly useless unless you keep everything in your inbox without deleting it. I use GMail, so I set pocket outlook to also sync 60 days worth of the "All Mail" folder, the spot where all of your email goes after you archive it.
The problem is that while the emails show up under contacts if they are in the inbox, they DON'T show up if they are in the "All Mail" folder. I tried restarting my phone and also waiting in the email tab overnight just in case it took it really long to filter through the emails, but no-go
Does anyone know what to do? This would be a really nice feature if it worked!
New question: has ANYONE here actually gotten that to work?

I just got my new TouchPro 2 on Verizon today and I installed wireless sync to have my emails from work pushed to my phone (used this on my XV6800). The Outlook email was created correctly and I can access my inbox if I go to all accounts but I can't find out how to add a link to the inbox on the email tab in TouchFlo. The email tab will show that I have new emails but I need to go to the Windows Mobile accounts screen to get to it.
Is there any way to add this account to the email tab in TouchFlo?
You are not alone. Same problem here. Looking for the answer.
Do get the number of messages, but no access to them in TouchFlo?
Yes it will display the number of messages but there is no easy way to display them through the email tab. I have been clicking the inbox link in the notification message that I get when a new wireless sync message comes through. It works but it would be nice to be able to view the messages downloaded through wireless sync in the same way as my gmail account.
Ha. It took me 2 days to figure out why I had 1 message showing on that tab (damn "welcome" email in outlook inbox). I suppose that the whole email tab is of no use to you then, if you use outlook. Maybe a plugin for the home tab is possible?
Same issue
I am also having the issue of the Outlook email not showing on the TouchFlo email tab. I have looked everywhere to try and find where the configuration for this tab is stored, but no luck.
I did have it showing previously when ActiveSync was configured to sync with Outlook (in addition to Wireless Sync), but if I did not disable ActiveSync completely when connected to my computer it created duplicates, and kept creating them for as long as it was connected...Big mess. When I disabled syncing with the inbox on ActiveSync, it deleted all of my email (on the device, then wireless sync deleted everything in Outlook as well), and the Outlook email no longer showed in the TouchFlo email tab.
I am thinking that setting up a bogus ActiveSync partnership with a computer that has nothing in Outlook (and selecting the Inbox) might be a workaround, but it should not be this difficult.
NOTE: I tried removing everything and setting up a bogus partnership through ActiveSync, still did not put the Outlook email back in the TouchFlo Email tab. Just have to use Start > Messaging until someone figures this one out. Would be nice to have it working correctly.
Same issue here. I added second email account, not in wireless sync, but in the email setup, a POP3 account. Now the little envelope goes to that account and then on the bottom you can see the inbox and navigate to the outlook inbox which is your wireless sync. It gets you there with a couple of extra steps, but it isn't the same.
Additionally, you can't see your email for a particular contact, in your wireless sync email. That is a huge benefit of the HTC Touch Pro 2, in that it integrates emails, SMS messages, phone calls, facebook, all through the contacts. Hope someone finds a work around, this is very irritating. Love the phone, but without this, not sure if I will return it within the 30 days.
I'm having the same problem, does anybody have a solution for this?
Thanks!
Same problem
I've got the same issue. Anyone ever find a solution for this that doesn't involve a hard reset?
I've spent a long time trying to get a good system of emails going with my Desire, but every option has issues. I must be one of few people who doesn't like K-9. I won't bore you with reasons here, but just so you know, that isn't currently an option for me until various bugs are fixed.
I prefer push emails and although there seems to be disagreement between some people, the Gmail app does seem to push and be fairly quick, although not usually instant. It's good enough for me though. The stock email client doesn't push and doesn't poll for messages very quickly so is a little too slow.
For my Gmail setup I use IMAP and have my own bin for 'deleted' emails, as I don't want Gmail removing them after 30 days from it's own bin. My PC's client (Thunderbird) kindly places 'deleted' emails in my own folder called MyBin, which Gmail is happy about. However, I cannot get the Gmail app on my Desire to do anything other than send deleted messages to Gmail's bin. I see no option to map the Gmail app's trash to my own folder, or as Gmail likes to say, to 'change labels'. I've looked at creating a filter too but can't see how I'd set that up to just filter messages from the bin and nowhere else.
Any suggestions please? Failing suggestions I'll just delete emails on my PC instead for now. I was hoping to not have to do things like that any more after receiving my Desire though.
Hi all,
Old phone was a HD2, so i'm familiar with SenseUI.
With my HD2 (which had a very similiar contacts system), I could drag my finger to emails and it would show emails too and from the specific contacts email address.
I've tried a few times to different emails (both gmail and hotmail) to no avail.
I remember on the HD2 it would start to slow down if there were too many emails between each other. Perhaps this is why the feature doesn't seem to work?
Or am I just a retard?
Thanks!
It works for me though...
Maybe the difference is that all my contacts are coming from activesync. Though if I get a mail from a contact it doesn't matter where it comes from as long as I have that exact email adress noted at the contact.
Once i am in contacts, i can select a contact. Then in the bottom of the screen you will see several buttons. If i click on the mail icon i see all mails received from that person...
Odd, I have all my contacts sync'd through Google Contact. I don't see how that would affect anything though.
Can others comment on weather mail tab in contacts works?
works fine, but it does NOT have access to the googlemail program. That is not open source and google do not allow access to it for skins.
If all your emails are coming in in the Googlemail program, you'll get nothing on the mail tab.
As long as the emails are received in the mail program, then it works without a problem.
ahh, thanks for the reply rhedgehog. I am now using HTC's mail program in the background, I've turned off notifications, so I will still always use Gmail as it is superior.
But now my contacts have emails, cheers mate!
Hi, I used K-9 and now am trying to find what has gone wrong with it.
I got 4 email accounts synced with it. Gmail and yahoo seems to be problematic.
I had two problems with it :
1. On the right side of each of the Account name, there is a grey box with number on it, usually indicating how many unread emails inside it. Problem is, two of my account (inbox.com and hotmail) is showing the right amount of unread email. When I empty it, they will show no numbers, when it have 3 unread, they will show 3. The other two account, yahoo and gmail is showing odd numbers! My gmail is right now showing 29, and it actually is totally empty (I just deleted everything). My yahoo is showing 1032, and it actually only have 3 unread emails inside it.
2. What is expunge ?
3. Under each of the account settings, I set "Sync messages from" to "the last month". While inbox.com and gmail is syncing emails only from last month, hotmail downloaded every single thing up to my 2008 emails. Where did I go wrong on this one?
please, any help would be appreciated.. thank you so much
anyone care to help?
I've had my phone with me for awhile now, and so far so good and I've been regularly syncing with Gmail.
A couple of days back, when I wanted to send an e-mail from my computer, the list of contact suggestions that would automatically pop out as you type your contact's name wouldn't come out.
I found this strange, so I checked my contact book (from inside gmail on the computer). To my horror, the contact(s) were gone!
I've also noticed weird folders in my gmail, most that begin with "[IMAP]/" followed by drafts, inbox, etc
I checked my android, under the people app, and the contact's phone number, along with their email was still listed in my phone.
I've been searching around, and I understand that some people are having this problem in reverse, whereby contacts are disappearing from their android. Not much help there, I suppose.
So my question is; is this an android sync problem, or is gmail getting iffy?
I've now taken a precaution and have exported a back up of my gmail contacts in csv. ... but.. you can never know when this will happen again.
Pardon me if I sound noob-ish. The android is my first smartphone
Edit: Today it happened again. I seem to be losing contacts everyday. Even now my gmail chat client on the left seems to be missing contacts.
the imap folders etc you can turn off in the gmail settings server side not mobile side
Thank you
Any idea about the missing contacts?
