I have a Gmail IMAP acct setup (not using the Outlook Email acct; this is an ordinary IMAP acct for Gmail) and syncing with Inbox. However, other personal folders in my acct do not sync. I placed a checkmark in the box next to the folder I need to sync but mail in those folders is only downloaded. If I delete an email in one of them it does not get deleted in the same folder on the server.
Is this how it works for these folders?
Do I need to to set it up differently for full synchronization to work?
I think I finally got it to work! After trying all the settinngs I think that Delete on Connect/Disconnect did the trick.

I've set the XDA to send/receive via outlook however, I cant find a setting to delete mail from server therefore when I then download from the PC I have to delete a load of mail that I've already read.
Is there a setting on the PDA to resolve this, or any other solution???

Make sure you are using POP3 then when you delete the emails from the Inbox on your 3300, and then empty Deleted Items the next time you sync the mails will automatically be removed from the server too.
As for flagging that copies shouldn't be left on the server after a fetch I imagine there is a registry hack but no setting in the email application that I can see.
Good news for Googlemail/gmail users... IMAP supoport now implemented, so you can schedule checks of your mail account and manage mails whilst keeping synced up with the gmail servers...
serversettings: imap.gmail.com:993
smtp.gmail.com:587 use SSL
user name is [email protected] or [email protected] etc...
If you set up labels in gmail, these appear as folders in your artemis mailbox, so moving a mail to a folder on your atremis has the effect of adding a label to it and moving it to 'All Mail' in gmail.
In the advanced mail options, make sure you check to delete mail off server when deleting, otherwise all deleted mail stays in the gmail all mail folder.

How does this feature work if you want to download your email to both your artemis and a desktop? I reckon you need to leave a copy of the message on the server in order to download it twice (phone and pc) right?
thnx in advance.

That's exactly why you need IMAP instead of POP3 - IMAP leaves all the mail on the server, and keeps a folder structure on the server. When you download, it only downlaods a copy, the original stays on the server but gets marked as read. If you move it on your phone or pc, it will be moved on the server too - you effectively are syncing mail folders on the server, your phone and your pc.
How do i set it up so all my gmail folders get synced and not just the inbox?
Including sent emails, trash, drafts, etc
Anybody?
+1 - Also interested in syncing more than just the inbox via IMAP.
I don't even know whether Google Sync (Exchange push) does this. I'll have to check on my wife's phone, since that is how I set her up.
hi guys, not sure if works the same as my exchange email but if it does...
go into your inbox
click menu
click tools
click manage folders
then put check marks in the boxes to the left of each folder
hope it works for u
Or what about System Seven ?
Very easy to use.
Search here or Google
I'm using Gmail Exchange ActiveSync and the HTC Mail App, because:
1. The Gmail App seems to be either Push Mail (Constant) or Manual (Menu --> Refresh), whereas I'd prefer it to check for me once an hour.
2. I dislike the Gmail interface
But when I click "Refresh", mail I've deleted via IMAP in Outlook or the Webmail doesn't disappear. It does download new mail though. This link:
http://email.about.com/od/iphonemailtips/qt/Set_Up_Push_Gmail_in_iPhone_Mail.htm
Refers to using Gmail Exchange ActiveSync on the iPhone, says:
"* To delete a message, move it to the [Gmail]/Trash folder.
* To archive a message, delete it from the Inbox or move it to [Gmail]/All Mail."
I don't mind if pressing DELETE Archives or Deletes the message but surely this isn't correct? Both the Gmail App and IMAP delete mail when you click "Refresh" (that have been deleted elsewhere). I shouldn't have to "Manually" delete mail, I've already deleted elsewhere.
Surely this does too?
Thanks
It's suddenly starting working. I must say Sync using Exchange ActiveSync is very hit and miss!
Last night I was finding it was trying to Sync (the white sync circle) for 5-10 minutes+, despite using Wireless and it only having to update 1-2 e-mail differences. I gave up in the end .
It's now not downloading mail in folders other than the Inbox!
I've had to move mail out, refresh, move it back in and then refresh again, it then downloads the mail but this is tricky to do for Sent Items. If it's still playing up tomorrow, I think I'll switch to IMAP. What a mess:
1. Google Sync: Has no ability to say how often it downloads mail. You either have to accept "Push Mail" (and the extra battery it needs) or Manually click Refresh
2. Gmail Exchange ActiveSync: Is proving very unreliable
Annoyingly IMAP doesn't offer Contacts/Calendar Sync, so I'll still have use one of the above methods for these two. Probably Google Sync, as Exchange ActiveSync will create a redundant Mailbox. Hopefully only Real-time Syncing Calendar/Contacts won't have too much draw on battery. I'm pretty sure it's the Mail part that does this.
Now it won't download anything in my Sent Items and instead just re-downloads the same e-mail, that isn't even in Sent Items any more!
IMO Gmail's (Beta) Exchange ActiveSync is well and truly broken! I'm off to re-configure (for the more basic but reliable) IMAP.
IMAP for me too, works well without any issues
IMAP is so much more reliable than Exchange ActiveSync. It's annoying it doesn't sync Calendar/Contacts too though.
I'm using Google Sync for those two, hopefully battery won't be hammered too much. I'm pretty sure it's E-Mail (not Calendar/Contacts) that does this, when Push is enabled.
I have created a number of subfolders in my new hotmail, and i have set hotmail to sort my email from recipients in these folders.
so i really need to be able to see my folders in a mail app i want to use on my desire.
the standard mail app does not work yet (cannot create exchange activesync account)
i have tried maildroid and k9. they can connect with hotmail and show my inbox, but i can not get them to show my folders.
does anyone have an idea on how to solve this with the programs. or with another program maybe?
