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.

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....

Thanks for that information... I was wondering why that whole recent: thing showed up when I let the device autodetect the settings.... Thanks for the tip...
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,
I seem to be having an issue with the new stock 6.5 rom (Also had issue with other rom). I have an outlook account that uses an exchange server and that works fine with approx 7 days retention.
But I have another pop3/smtp account that although it retrieves and sends OK. It seems to be randomly dropping the emials. I build up 1-2 days of email, only 7-10items after deleting the usual spam. but then they all dissapear.
I would like to have a rolling 7 days of emails on this personal account.
Anyone else have this issue or do you know the solution to extend the number of days mail you keep on an email?

Same Problem
I am having the same problem with my Gmail emails being randomly deleted. For me it seems to be a time limit, after too many days of the same emails it deletes them. Originally I had this problem when I was archiving incoming mail. Everything was fine for about a week after I set gmail to not instantly archive mail. I have installed htc addicts clear ram, could that be deleting my emails from the inbox? Any help is appreciated.
Not sure if this is your problem or not - but...
Go to MESSAGING, highlight the account you are having issues with, click MENU, OPTIONS, click the account you are having issues with, click SEND/RECEIVE SCHEDULE, and change the DOWNLOAD MESSAGES: to the value you want...
Also - if you click ADVANCED from that screen you can select what you want for DELETING MESSAGES (keep/delete from server)
I finally solved it by changing over to IMAP rather than pop3. Also changed to a custom rom!!!
see what happens
Thanks nayr1482, I have tried that and it didnt blow up and so far nothing has been deleted. We will see what happens.
I have my Yahoo email setup on my EnergyROM and every once in a while(no certain time) it will start downloading all email in my Yahoo account.
It is set to just download the last 5 days but for some reason it will randomly decide to download all 2000+emails in my Yahoo account. At that point it makes my phone so slow it is nearly unusable and I have to delete the Yahoo email account from the phone which takes about an hour for it to process.
Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions to keep phone from doing this?
***This actually happenened a few time on my old Tmobile Dash also. So that kinda tells me it is a Windows mobile issue??
this happens to me, also...im using the stock rom and it doesnt slow down my phone...it is quite annoying, however....
the best solution I came up w/ is...try clearing out your yahoo inbox on your desk/laptop...since i did that i havent had that problem...
i dont think its a microsoft problem, as i have my mail2web, live.com, & gmail forwarded to the tp2 w/o issues...
I like to keep me email in my Yahoo in case I need to go back to something so emptying reall isn't too good of an option. And win the phone tries to download 5 years of emails from the Yahoo server it cripples the phone. ha!
Any other ideas?

Do you have your yahoo email set up to use POP3 or IMAP? If I have Hotmail set to use POP, it will download all of my messages. Try following the directions here on how to properly set up your yahoo account, and see if that works.
The last 3 nights while my phone was charging it decided to download over 3000 emails from my Yahoo account. Originally I had it set to 7 days worth of messages and then I reduced it to 3 and then 3 with no attachments. As a result after Sense (or manila 2.5 whatever it's called), boots the device and becomes frozen. The only way to repair it is to delete my Yahoo account from the email config (this has to be done quickly in the few seconds during reboot when Sense is loading). The delete takes about 1/2 hour and then everything is okay. Except I cannot use my email.
Anyone else experience this problem?
I am using WM6.5 and my Yahoo account has no more than 100 emails over the last week. Of couse I have thousands that I have never deleted going way back.

Yes the text and e-mail clients built in to WM will easily bog down not only their operation but the whole phone, if they get stuffed too full of messages like that.
My suggestion would be to move all your older e-mails in your yahoo to some folder other than the inbox, and just keep the ones you're actively reading/using in the inbox to be downloaded to your phone when it syncs with yahoo's server.
thanks. that is a good work around. still strange that it would ignore the message limits that you set for it.
Hello Experts
I am having this crazy problem since I am using HTC TP2 (T-mobile version). One of my Yahoo accounts starts downloading all of my emails on my phone. I have settings for to download only email for last 3 days. My other emails like gmail and live accounts are fine, but only yahoo emails is giving this problem.
I tried deleting the account and adding again. It is fine for few days and then start doing it again. Also I have exchanged my TP2 twice for another issue and I have seen this issue on all phones.
Is there a setting on my account (online version) that is doing it.
Need help.
I swear this ish happened to me yesterday. I picked up my phone and saw 19 new emails. That only happens when someone from my old school dies and emails are exchanged on our school forum. I opened my inbox and discovered all the read and unread emails in my Yahoo inbox had been downloaded to my phone...phew! big relief no one died but why the hell did that happen? I think I did a send/recieve and all the emails just diasappeared and it went back to normal.
