I have added Gmail with IMAP support to my TP2 and can choose to download only mail from the last day, last 2 days, last 3 days, etc. But I'm looking for an option to download only the new messages. I'm afraid this isn't possible?
If I recall correctly, you can also choose 1 wk, 2 wks, and 1 month as the amount of emails you want to download to your device.
Anyway, if what you want is just new mail, you set up your email account as a POP3 account and go to Gmail and enable POP3 for only new messages.
Problem with POP is that messages I will read on my TP2 keep unreaded on gmail webmail.
Is IMAP unable to check if a message is read or unread?
You're right regarding POP3. That's why IMAP is better. Everytime you connect via IMAP, your inboxes on your device and Gmail will sync. Meaning all read messages on your device will be marked as read and new messages will be downloaded.
But there's no way to just download new messages. You have to specify a suitable time period for your device to look back on Gmail's server to sync.
Well if you set it to 3 days then after 3 days it will only download new messages.

you can use outlook mail with google synch, you know, rather than IMAP and POP3, this way you can sync your mail, calendar, and even contacts....fins the settings on google website

Yes, but on day 4 there will be new messages which I have opened on gmail.com. I don't need those messages on my TP2, only the unreaded ones.

Yeah, I have used it to sync my Google Calendar but I'm looking for an easier way to receive only unreaded messages on my TP instead of visiting gmail.com on my TP2 (and mark as readed after reading them on my TP2).
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...
Just moved from WM (Diamond) to Droid and loving the desire so far, however there's 1 problem that drives me nuts.
I've setup my Desire to receive mail from yahoo, as well as a few other POP3 and IMAP email accounts I have, and while the phone does download emails according to schedule, all downloaded email are marked as UNREAD whether they are actually read or not.
This happens using the MAIL application that comes with the phone (I'd think it's a goggle app, not a HTC app), but also the K-9 Mail app.
This problem also happens on 2 different ROMs ... so it's not a ROM problem.
It's extremely annoying because I keep getting notifications of 'new' emails that I've already read!
This does not happen for gmail if I use the gmail app ... but gmail is not my primary email account.
I never had this problem in my WM days neither.
that is, because the mail app actully downloads new emails (via pop3) and doesnt know, if you already read the mails elsewhere.
Go to properties and change the protocol to IMAP. (and the according adresses and ports).
Hi all,
Since 2 days i got a strange problem with my hotmail account and push settings.
Everything sets up fine but when my hotmail is @ push it keeps syncing.
This drain my battery completely also it wont recieve any mail until i sync manual. Before it worked just perfect.
Also when i am on my computer @ msn and i receive a mail msn keaps saying one new mail but it's already read on the phone!
I treid an other hotmail account i created with my phone and push settings and the problem was gone! So it's in my account or something
now i got the following problem:
I can't set it up as exchange but only as pop.
If i try an other hotmail account it works just great with exchange.
Someone knows what this can be!?
Hey everyone,
Today i thought i might try setting up my Desire HD to sync with Hotmail via Exchange. Setup was easy as hell, just had to enter my e-mail adress and password, the rest was done automatically.
The Calendar syncs well, so do the contacts, but what bugs me is the mail client:
I like the fact that i can choose that attachments don't download, but here are my problems:
When i open an E-Mail on my Desktop, the mail gets marked as read on the Hotmail site and on my phone.
When i open a mail on my phone however, i go back to the list of mails. Then, the phone removes all messages from my phone and redownloads them. Now the mail i just read is marked as unread. Anyone know how to fix this?
Another thing: Is it possible to actually show all my E-mails on my Desire HD with the mail app? When it syncs it always shows X/285. Once x has reached 35 it stops. (i have more than 285 mails in my inbox).
Hope to find some help!
