[Q] K-9 Mail syncing two years old emails ? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

Emails in contacts don't show up

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?

hotmail not showing up

i configured my hotmail accounts (2 of them) on the stock email program that comes with the desire.
yet it doesn't show my old emails.
it only shows my new emails.
it's a bit annoying, because now i can only read my new emails, but not look back at the emails that were on the server before is configured my desire.
i double checked that the emails are kept on the server, and not removed by an other email client or something.
i had 20 emails on 1 of my account that were on there before i configured my desire.
i've recieved 2 emails on that account since then.
on my desire it only shows 2 messages (the new ones i just recieved).
anybody any idea how to get those old ones?
Increase the download option to All messages or to your preference in settings?
allready choose the option to download all in stead of the last 3 days... no avail...

Anyone having problems syncing Gmail today?

I am currently running MCR3.1, and today I seem to have some problems with my gmail syncing.
When I receive an email to my gmail account, it shows up on my Desire however, when I delete (or read) it on my Desire, it still shows up in the inbox count on the top of the screen, and the changes don't seem to being reflected in my Gmail account.
The items are still shown as unread, even though I have deleted the item on my Desire.
I have attached a screenshot to show the inbox count, even though all emails are read.
Any ideas?
Stu
It happen to me some hours ago, althoug not on Gmail but on my own server, through IMAP. I read the email, and it still said in the notification bar that I have unread email.
What I did is I killed the email app. Then the notification went away. Then I started the mail app again and no problem at all. Dont know why it happen.
No issues here with Gmail app and MCRr3

[Q] Gmail or Android problem?

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?

[Q] K-9 Unable to Pull E-mails from Accounts after a Reboot

I have recently begun using K-9 for managing my e-mails in four accounts: three Gmail accounts and one exchange account. I have noticed invariably that the e-mails do not get retrieved in K-9 after a reboot of my phone. I have to manually "check mail" in K-9 after a reboot, and then onward, K-9 retrieves e-mails from the Gmail accounts - e-mails are not pulled from the exchange account even after this.
To pull e-mails in the exchange account, I had to click on "Load more messages," which triggered a sync with the exchange server, and THEN, I received e-mails in that account. I missed e-mails from three days on my phone (I am on a vacation). I have all the settings in place for syncing all the accounts. Could someone suggest a solution to this issue?
I wanted to mention that I had changed the setting for the exchange account to poll the folders every hour, instead of every minute. Is there no one who has come across the issue mentioned in my previous post?
