I have searched, but can't find an obvious solution to this yet.
When downloading emails to the TP2, I continually get a problem. I receive part of the mail (first 5k for example), then click to download rest of the mail and click send & receive on the inbox again. The TP2 then sees the email as 'read' and deletes it - before I have chance to see the remainder of the mail.
Is there a setting somewhere to prevent this auto-delete (at least until I've read it!)?
Cheers,
Jim.
The reason the mail gets deleted is probably because you have set up your email account as POP3 account. If you use IMAP, you won't have this problem...

Is it possible to change an email account from POP3 to IMAP? I always assumed that was down to the ISP to determine the type of account?
Or are you suggesting I find an alternative provider?
It doesn't matter whether it's a POP or IMAP account - it shouldn't auto-delete messages.
I had 3 accounts set up at POP3 and all was fine - I leave the setting to keep them on the server when deleting them off the phone so I can still download the messages when logging on at home with my computer.
However, since a hard reset to sort a few other problems I've been experiencing this 'auto-delete' phenomenom - I get an mail and read it WITHOUT deleting it yet next time I look the message has gone - it's not even in the 'deleted' folder.
You can also set your account to download the full message. Maybe you have set your setting to download the first 5k. It can be done by the advanced setting of your account.

I'm glad its not just me!
I have it set to only download the first 5k, and then it works OK - until I get mails smaller than this or try to download the rest of the message - at which point it deletes them off the device AND the server - before I've read them.
I had all accounts set to download the whole message and attachements and to leave them on the server when deleted - yet they were auto deleting off the phone and from the server.
I have now set them as IMAP, but have to remember not to delete them off the phone before getting them downloaded onto my PC - not ideal!
I can read my email before it is deleted but the mail in the inbox mail disappears and doesn't show up in deleted folder (as mentioned above). I have my Tilt2 set to leave mail on the server so I can get the same mail on my desktop computer. I assume that the mail "disappears" from the phone inbox when it goes off the server to my desktop.
My "fix" is to move anything I want to keep on my phone to a "Save" folder. Yes it is a PITA but at least for some important stuff, it remains on the phone til I want it deleted.
Hope this helps someone.
Why doesn't whole message download
I have set my email accounts to download the Whole Message and all attachments. However, when I log on I get the message header only and a comment that the whole message will be downloaded next time I logon. I have to come out of the account, logon again and select "Send/Receive" A bit irritating. Is this normal?
I am trying to add my yahoo account to my phone and it keeps telling me that it cant verify the username and password? When I log on from my pc it works just fine. Any suggestions?
EDIT - I was having a problem with the email app force closing everytime I tried to delete an email so I cleared cache and data and am now trying to resetup my email addresses and MSN worked fine but yahoo wont!
Is your yahoo account setup to allow pop access or external access or whatever they call it? I haven't used yahoo in a long time but I remember that I used to have to explicitly allow external programs to access it. It was in the yahoo mail settings menu somewhere.
Reboot the phone,and than
try again. This helps me

I have tried both of the above and no go! WTF! When I go to verify my account username and password it says "Authentication failed" Please verify your username/password.
[EDIT] I figured it out! HELL YA! see the setup below:
YAHOO IMAP
Incoming IMAP Mail ServerSetting :
User Name : [email protected]
Password : your email password
Incoming Mail Server : imap.n.mail.yahoo.com
Mail Box Name : Yahoo IMAP
Mail Box Type : IMAP
Security (Port) : Off
Port : Default
Working for me!
Hey guys I'm having a problem here...I'm trying to set up my girlfriends email address on her new Inspire through the Gmail app and it is saying that the login and password failed. I remember having the same problem when I was trying to set up my phone but I forget what the solution was. Her email address is [email protected] and it goes through gmail on the computer. I have no idea what to do here. I searched and searched and there is nothing. I tried enabling Imap but it didn't help.
Contact the school's IT dept. They will help you figure it out. We cant help you here since every school has a different way they setup their email.
HELP!! Technophobe.....
Hi, I am useless at problem solving. I have recently changed the password to my email account on my home computer and now my tablet will not receive emails. When I click the email icon it goes automatically to my email account but has not updated them and I'm assuming it's because I've changed my password to the Yahoo account and the same needs doing on my tablet? However, I've tried (I think I've tried) to change it on the tablet to match the incoming server server settings i.e. typed in my email address and new password but it just says 'authentication failed? Someone help please?
Make sure when putting in the details that a capital isn't automatically being added.
I currently use the built in email app to connect to a couple of my Xfinity email accounts. As of this morning I started getting the error below.. It's not really clear what permissions isn't asking for, anyone seen this? I don't have an exchange accounts set up, the error popping up regularly is getting annoying.
To sync to registered EAS accounts, you need to allow permissions in settings.
