Mail app - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I like using the stock mail app but it seems that after a day it DELETES any email. Is there a easy way to fix this? Or do I need to switch to another mail app? If so could I please get a few suggestions? Also I'm currently not rooted.
Thanks

Pick # of days or # of emails.

I had an issue with the Mail app where it would constantly get stuck syncing my Exchange email, when nothing changed. It would kill the battery when it got stuck doing that. I would try killing the sync, and it would just start again and again... So I paid $3.99 for Enhanced EMail from the Market. Works great!

Sense Email for Exchange works perfectly
I have also purchased the Enhanced Email for my DINC, but the only time I have to use it is when I'm using a GB rom. It works pretty well, but there are no scrolling widgets available for it. The stock GB email client is missing the 'search' function (I'm not sure how the Google folks neglected this key piece of business-class functionality in the GingerBread Release).
When I am using a FROYO rom on the DINC (Sky Raider 4.0 is the very best in my opinion), the Sense Exchange Mail client should be rock solid and has one of the very best widgets available on the market. The problems you are experiencing might be the rom you are using, because it works flawlessly on the SkyRaider 4.0 Rom with Sense 2.0.

Multi contact list sorter or seperater App

I use my phone for Business and Personal, Using HTC sync i have Phone contacts and Gmail contacts, which i can separate.
However, I'd like to run an AOSP ROM like CM6.1 or some of the new Gingerbread ROM's being released.
I have two Gmails (one for work and one for Personal) so Syncing wont be an issue, However. can i get the same contact separation i get using Sense on ASOP with some sort of app?

[Q] HTC Mail / Hotmail EAS / Stock Mail 2.3

Does anyone know if the Gingerbread 2.3 stock mail app works with Hotmail EAS any better than 2.2
Also does anyone know if the Mail from 2.3 can be installed on stock HTC rom perhaps? If not I may have to install the 2.2 stock Mail app...
If so - does anyone know if the 2.3 stock mail can be extracted from Gingerbread as an apk?
I'm still using Improved Email to get hotmail EAS on my phone instead of the HTC Mail app - I was hoping that with the last couple of updates HTC sent out they may have fixed the HTC Mail / Hotmail EAS issues - but not yet...
No thoughts? I may just have to stick with Improved Email for now then
Do the Stock Mail app or Improved Mail support HTML rendering? I didn't think they did, which is a pity.
I've tried TouchDown and that works just fine, pity it's $20 though.
improved email doesnt - but I thought stock mail did? maybe not...
Bump on this question now we have custom GB roms kicking about, do they support exchange active sync and HTML emails?
Thanks.

I know honeycomb's stock email app works fine on Xoom
but I started using Enhanced Email https://market.android.com/details?id=com.qs.enhancedemail instead which works well

[Q] HTCsense.com within CM7?

I know people have been pretty unhappy with the service but HTCsense.com has worked fine for me since I booted up my phone back in October 2010.
I've been swapping between Sense and CM7 but always find myself ending up with the latter as it's just so much easier to use (currently on Nightly #32).
I think I know the answer to this but is there a way of linking up HTCsense.com within CM7 either by taking an APK out of the Sense system files or is it too deeply encoded within Sense for it to be extracted?
I've found all the other services (Lookout, WaveSecure, etc) to be fine on the first glimpse but there's always hidden charges or features that need money to be unlocked whereas HTCsense.com is a free service.
My main reasons for wanting HTCsense.com is the phone finder, the ability to make the phone ring (I know I can just call it) but also to remote wipe it.
Like I say I think the answer is no but thought it was worth checking.
I don't know about getting HTCsense.com tracking to work on CM, but you could try this app Prey Phone Tracker. I'm currently using it and it's great.
I'd love to have the HTC Hub working with CM7, just because all my messages & contacts are backed up in the HTC hub :-(
-----------------------------
I've been trying prey and I can see the benefits but it still doesn't have that great dashboard that htcsense.com has. Also being able to see and send texts from the same service is great.

My two pennies worth but Seek Droid (http://www.seekdroid.com) is very good: it's quicker (ie, more or less instant) at locking or wiping a phone - when testing with HTC's version, I'd send the request and nothing would happen for (sometimes) hours :S
It doesn't backup SMS for you or show you your phone book: however, since your phonebook is synced with Google, you can see the contacts via http://mail.google.com in any case. It does allow you to locate, lock, wipe or ring your phone remotely which is all you really need from remote software like this...

thanks, but i have flashed the cm7, after that my nandroid backups didn't work and all my contacts & messages are just saved on htcsense.com
i just need to find a way to get them on my phone once...
...
I think the ultimate goal here is to use CM7 but attain that singular piece of Sense code that syncs with htcsense.com and merge that with CM.
It would be great to setup CM7, go into accounts and settings and see the option for HTC within the usual crowd.
I get that there's alternatives such as Prey and backup software such as MyBackUp Pro, which do a great job, and you can also use a stock ROM with the Sense interface swapped out but oh to have those 3 letters appear within CM accounts would be fantastic.

Facebook Notification 2.2 / 2.3 ??

Does anyone have working Facebook notifications on either Froyo or GB ?
I seem to recall having it working on one of my recent ROMS (i've been flashing like mad recently)
But now I can't seem to get them working on either
SR4
CM7.0.2.1
Warm 2.2
OMFGB 1.2
I'm on CM7 right now, and under settings --> accounts and Sync --> my facebook account, I only see Sync Contacts, when I'm sure I sued to see Sync Live Feed, which is possible why I'm not getting Notifications ?
anyone else having issues ?
You're thinking of the Facebook for HTC Sense account. When you're running a sense ROM and login to facebook through HTC sense, then you get the option for 'Sync live feed'. The regular Facebook app doesn't have this option, so you need to be running a sense ROM. Out of the ones you mentioned i'd recommend SR4, but thats just me
But facebook in gingerbread should give me notifications from the app itself right?
I'm not getting any, even though I should
Sent from my Incredible using XDA Premium App
The notifications from the Facebook app both in gingerbread and froyo have always been hit and miss for me. Sometimes I will get my notifications, sometimes they will be delayed and sometimes they just won't show up at all. And it's not ROM or even phone specific, the inconsistency is across multiple ROMs and phones.

Exchange Email App

Hi All,
I am using TouchDown currently and looking for an alternative app like Touchdown for my SGS2 T989. Any suggestions - I tried Moxier but didn't like it that much.
Problem with Stock One
- Puts a device level lock unlike Touchdown which puts app level lock
- Problems with Contacts Sync
Thanks a lot

I too use TouchDown and like you I especially like the "app level lock."
What don't you like about TouchDown? All my original wants have gone away after realizing the extensive number of settings that can be made.

I use the stock email app and remove the pin requirement. Works fine for me.

I use touchdown as well. I find it great. No complaints to be honest.

I dont hate anything about Touchdown - I have another corporate account which I would like to enable on my device - Touchdown won't give me unified mailbox for both of them and I have to physically switch profiles to download mails in other.
I tried Enhanced Mail to - but it doesnt give so many options as TD and plus it puts device level restrictions.

I've tried 'em all and ultimately settled down w/EE. Great developer support as well.
As for syncing two accounts, it's my understanding that it's an Exchange limitation, and not a client's limitation. You can however (w/EE) have a unified inbox w/one exchange and various POP/IMAP accounts.
Replacement Email and Exhange -- working
This is working for me with Exchange Activesync and Hotmail. Be sure to clear the data on both Email and Exchange.

The version numbers are 4.1 on both. The stock ICS has Email 4.0 and Exchange 3.1
It's weird, but sometimes the 1st copy to the System/app folder doesn't take... Could it be permissions??
I use touchdown and k9. Both work great on my S2 with Dark side v7
