[Q] Email.apk forwards as .eml - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im wondering if people are having this problem with the stock / sense Email app.
I am running CM6 RC3, and I have my corporate / exchange email setup. I noticed that when I forward an email, the person that i send it to cannot read the email from their phone. It appears to forward as a .eml. I constantly get replies saying "I can't read the attachment, can you resend?"
I tried forwarding from my exchange account to my gmail account, and the email comes through with no content in the body, and an unnamed attachment that I can read with a text editor, but it appears to also have the entire message header.
The email app has been working great but I cannot forward as an inline message.
The only workaround I've been able to come up with is to click Reply, take out the original sender, and type in the name of the person I wish to send to.
Gmail forwards just fine which is interesting.
Is there any way to force Email.apk to forward as online rather than an attachment?

Cant send email

So all of a sudden, I can not send emails from my dash. I can receive them just fine, I have no issues with mms, internet or anything else.
I have the kavana 6.1, ( love it) the full blown 20 dollar internet deal.
I have tried to completely delete my gmail account and re run the setup and still no sending emails. I can not send from my other email accounts either from this phone.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jeff

Are you using the right entries for the incoming and outgoing mail server?
See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396126&highlight=smtp
Moderator: might be a good idea to make the thread a sticky.
So my problem seems to be the same as the listed in that thread, I just redid my "connections wizard" and it is sending now. For how long, I dont know.
Thank you all and I will keep looking here for a solution.

Jeff: read all the entries in the thread. It is a known problem and there is a registry hack to allow you to enter a valid SMTP server string into the requisite OEM field. The standard WM6.1 build ships with this value set to NULL (or even worse it might be set to " ")

Start from the last page and make your way back as it's towards the end.
There's even a .cab install for them who arn't familiar with a reg editor...

Email Messaging on HTC Touch Pro2

Hi All,
Say, if i do emails on my tp2, i send the email out and forget to bcc me, i forward the email to myself separately. I only get my signature without the full contents. Wondering if this is normal??
Is there any way we can configure the client or alternate programs to like pull emails like from 9am to 6pm instead?
Kinda like Nokia's default email client on e71s, i can choose when and how to download emails. And at the same time have an option to automatically send me a copy of the emails.
Thanks alot in advance or sorry if this is a stupid question..
EDIT: Is this a known thingy? Will wm 6.5 be addressing this issue?
1. When I forward mails, the entire message is included. I can think of 2 reasons why this isn't working for you.
a. You use Windows Live email (ie Hotmail) and you didn't toggle on the setting in Windows Live to include original message when replying/forwarding.
b. You've only set to download the email headers. You need to download the full message from the server before forwarding to include the whole message.
2. You can schedule your email push/pull between specific times of the day only if you use Windows Live or Exchange.
I know many people like to bcc themselves on all emails but you can just check the Sent folder as an alternative. I guess it's just a matter of preference...
My work email is primative pop3/smtp.. I'm using the default messaging on the htc touchflo3d, not the windows live.
Hmm.. i'll try the down entire message thingy..
Hi,
Have tried to use download entire email messages... still the same.. when i forward the email out.. it goes until only my signature.. does not forward the entire message
anymore ideas??
I was wondering that perhaps it may be because you're connecting via POP3. But this doesn't appear to be the case. I just tested setting up my Gmail account via POP3 and I can forward messages just fine.
After you tap on "Forward", you should be taken to a compose screen where you type in your recipients. If you scroll down, do you see the original message in full?
thats the thing... i can see the whole email in full.. theres teh "edit original sender's message" thingy...
but when i actually click send.. it only send out the portion i typed.. -.-
I have sent my phone in for service b4, updated software, hard reset... all the same... maybe i'll try my gmail and update again..
What happens if you tap the part thatt enables you to edit the original message before you send?
same ; ;
10chars
tested with Gmail and yahoo... by configuration, both uses imap on the client..
tested with my other personal email from isp... think i found a pattern..
If i forward from inbox.. everything ok..
If i forward from sent items... only what i type is sent...
i didnt test on imap.. deleted my account.. anyone got any observations??
any help??!?? ; ;

Outlook Mobile Notification

Hi, sorry if I'm in the wrong subsection, i've been searching but I couldn't find anything.
Is there a way to get notified when a new email comes to a certain folder in outlook mobile. The reason is I'm using google voice and forwarding txt to email. So I only want to get notified when I get a new sms. (I set up gmail to filter sms from google voice into a certain folder, so outlook mobile should reflect that)
Thanks in advance!

bump
and what client?
Interesting ideea, maybe I could take a look and try to implement it...
But I don't want to promise anything, so don't get your hopes high.

Two Exchange Mail bugs [16 may]

Hi guys,
I have noticed a strange thing with Exchange mail app. When I send my e-mail it does send it but, however, saves the message as a draft as well. After some time my DRAFTS folder is becoming a copy of my SENT ITEMS which is a bit annoying. Does anyone experience the same / has any cure for that?
Second "bug" is when I try to reply a facebook notification. Now, when I post a photo on FB and someone leaves a comment ot that, I receive an E-Mail notification like "John has commented on your photo...", and in the message body it says: REPLY TO THIS E-MAIL TO ANSWER THE COMMENT. It has always worked for me using Outlook, webmail, WinMobile-outlook-mail (and it still does) to hit the "Reply" button, type smth thus leaving a comment. However, no comments are left if I try to "reply" on "John's comment" using my Desire.
Any clues?
Using HTC default Exchange mail app.
anyone?...
I guess the two problems may be related. Are the Facebook replies going out through your Exchange account?
To diagnose the first problem, can you see if the Exchange server is logging any errors? Get your system administrator (if it's not you) to check the application event logs, while you're doing a send/receive.
I have the first problem - intermittently any mail I send is also saved to the drafts folder and its a little annoying. Personally I don't believe the second problem is related in any way at all...

I have the first issue when using my office email account. We use Lotus Notes and the interface between the device and the Domino server is Commontime software, using Activesync client on the device.
Commontime advise that this is only an issue with Android 2.1 devices as the outgoing mail is not stamped with a Posteddate field.
I also have a Hotmail account on the Desire, and I do not get the "sent -> drafts" syndrome with that account.
Deleting and re-adding accounts is fixing problems for some people. I would suggest delete, reboot, re-add.
Already tried that but didn't work.

--or, in the case of Lotus, the logs from Commontime.
Sometimes answers or new mails ends up staying in draft.
I've found out that on some e-mail addresses it takes the domain away.
[email protected] becomes [email protected]
On both answers and new ones. And it can be one out of two...
Any ideas?

Responding to meeting invites?

Not sure if this is android or the email app problem. the sgs does not allow me to respond to meeting invites. I have to save to calendar manually. Anyone knows?
I have the same problem. Could not find a way to send an invite for an appointment, either. The email client needs some polishing ;-)
Here is my wishlist
1. Notification about incoming mails even if they are sorted into a subfolder (Server-side rules with my Exchange Server)
2. Improvement in how the folders are displayed. I've got subfolders of subfolders. All that is not presented very well. Maybe have separated views for folders and emails.
3. The invites issue solved as mentioned above.
4. I would like to have unread messages to be better distinguished from already read mails.
Maybe froyo is bringing all that to us
Have a good night!
Hu guys,
i do have the same issue here. No possibility to accept meeting request.
Works fine on HTC Desire ;(
I guess this is a general problem with the build in email client of the sgs. I read in other forums that will be solved by froyo.
In the meantime i am using Touchdown Exchange Client. This client looks great the push mail function works properly - the only issue is the low performance.

I believe XWJM1 comes with that features, but the same feature not available at XWJM5.
Hey guys I am not sure if this will help you but I too had the same problem I downloaded the app from the market called ICS-Bot and it reads the attachment coming in. I am not sure what email account you are using but what I did was have any emails going to my corporate or/pop3 account from my work and I set a rule up that will forward any email with the subject titled Meeting in it and have it forwarded to my gmail account and once it arrives it will be read as an .ics file where you can preview it and set it up on your calendar. The downside is that you cannot edit or send a response back but you can inout the event onto your calendar and set reminders, I know it is not what we want but at least you have the event in your calendar, hope this helps.
