Just came from bb to the G2 and love the phone, however i cant seem to get my work email to connect. I set the username, password, pop3 server, ports, and made sure everything matches correctly. It all goes through like it should work.....and then nothing. When i send test emails and click on "load more messages" i get nothing. Any ideas why this isnt working?
Not sure if this matters, but i am running miui 2.3.4 - 1.5.6
Ok so i can send emails just fine from this account. Seems like it is just the incoming server. Did a double check and everything matches in the account settings with what is on my outlook account. Any help would be awesome. Thanks.
I had some problems getting the stock email app to work as well. I switched to K9 Mail (its free in the Market) and that works just fine for me.
Tried K9 and still no luck. Anyone else have success with a pop3 email account on the G2, or android in general? Thanks.

Hey I set up my rogers e-mail account (which can go through yahoo mail) and the auto set up (which actually covers my ISP!) used an IMAP account with yahoo. it works fine except when i hit reply, there is no address in the To: field so i have to manually put it in, which is not huge, except when i don't have that person in my contacts.
Also i have noticed that the e-mail address isn't included in the actual e-mail.
Tried searching with the advanced google search and haven't seen anyone else with this problem, and it has been years since i used IMAP instead of POP3, if anyone has any ideas that would be great, otherwise i will just go with using POP settings.
Hello, I'm hoping someone can help.
I recently bought a HTC Desire and I'm loving it except for a big problem with my IMAP email account.
Everything worked perfectly for the first day. However the next morning I noticed I hadn't received any emails. I ended up deleting the account and starting again. No joy.. I ended up hard resetting the device and setting all back up. This time the only mail I received was what it hadn't received prior to resetting.
Now after numerous resets and support phone calls the device receives absolutely nothing yet it will send no problem. I have another account which works fine. Also the email account works fine on all other devices.
I understand the obvious question is whether I've configured the device correctly. Trust me I have.
Please can anyone suggest anything? It's almost like the Desire has cached something about my email account despite the data wipes..?
Many thanks in advance!

Just the same issue - "no mails"...
IMAP works perfectly here. I have one Exchange ActiveSync account and one IMAP account.
My IMAP gmail account is working perfectly here too. But I did had problem getting email notification to appear on the status bar which I manage to resolved.
I tried the imap but went back to just the gmail app as the gmail app had the emails come through much faster. I didn't find the imap and gmail worked well at all.
Tried an alternative mail client like K-9?
I'm using K-9 but I don't like it. I haven't yet found anything else that does push with IMAP though. K-9 doesn't work in the same way as other email apps for POP, which I use for another account. In fact it's unusable for me for POP on Gmail as it deletes msgs as soon as they arrive (they are not being deleted from server).

Same problem over here with IMAP failing to retrieve new emails after a certain point. I think the built in client is having difficulty with some messages - if I use another mail client to delete the next email (after the Desire stopped receiving new mail), receiving springs back into life.
I'm going to take a closer look at this. My best guess is that the HTC email client has an obscure bug relating to a mis-implementation of the IMAP protocol. For all sorts of reasons, I'd like to get the HTC client working! Perhaps there's a workaround we can implement until a bug fix is released.
In short, definitely a bug.
I agree, there is definitely a bug in there - more than one. I think I'm going to be forced to go back to good old pop3 for emails on the Desire. Even then though, the HTC mail app doesn't do push. Maybe k9 will work better with pop3 than it does with IMAP. Although neither k9 or the gmail app copy and paste do they? So I don't know what is going to be best.

Hey guys, Just flashed the newest update of incredibly re-engineered to my dinc, been using older versions of inc re-engineered for a while. But hotmail still doesn't wanna work. Yes I've tried all the different types of pop, and exchange settings, and now I give up on trying to make hotmail work with the stock mail app. SO, gmail works just fine, I loaded up my gmail account, set my hotmail to forward everything to my gmail account, then set my gmail account to send messages under my hotmail address.
Problem solved. A real ass-backwards way of making it work so that I can have the mail widget, but it works. Of course other apps from the market will connect to my hotmail account, and I have maildroid, and thats nice, but this was the only way I could get hotmail to somewhat work with stock mail.
I will say, sometimes hotmail would sort of sync with the automatic settings, but it would only sync 10 messages at a time, and it sync'd my oldest messages first. So thats useless. I'd have to set it to sync-all in order for that to happen. All the other settings like days and how many messages, didn't take any effect. Then again, google probably considers adding windows features to a google phone to be sodomy. I'm not that surprised hotmail doesn't wanna work on my dinc
So I guess this is more of a comment thread than a question since things are working. But if you encountered the hotmail problem with android 2.2, and overcame it, please share.
Did hotmail ever work when you were running stock?
Nah didn't work right then either.

Hi,
I want to set up Push-Email after installing Leedroid. I know it worked before for two email adresses, one is google mail and the other webmailer host europe. I knew I had my gmail account set up as exchange activesync, the other I don#t remember but it worked.
Now exchange activesync wasn't working and I don't know why, always got an error message. So I tried IMAP googlemail, this works fine, however the push option is missing in the configuration. There are just options for checking after certain periods of time or manually. Same for the webmailer host europe adress. Just six weeks ago I set it up so it worked and I just don't remeber or maybe the new app is different...can someone help me please?
Strange enough it seems to work with the standard gmail android app...I don#t want to use that though.
FYI: I'm forwarding a GMX mailadress to gmail.
I have set up my email account with the Samsung built-in email app, but it seems to only download old messages. Right now I'm seeing emails from 2006. Is there any way to make it download the newest messages on the server, instead of the oldest ones? As it is now, it is totally useless.
On a related issue, if I want to use the built-in email app with my Gmail account (I would rather use a single email program for both Gmail and my work email without having to switch between apps), is there any way to get the "recent:" functionality working? When I try to set my username with recent: before my email address, as Gmail has you do to only get the last month of email, the Samsung mail app says my login is wrong.
Both of these worked fine with the HTC mail app on my old Hero, so I'm kind of surprised if Samsung's mail app can't do it.

What type of email do ypu have?
I've only tried it connecting to Gmail, with the Gmail POP3/SMTP servers. I know that Google encourages us to use the Gmail app for that, but it seems so strange that Samsung can't get their mail app to work properly with Gmail.
I've been using K-9 mail for the last few weeks, but it seems to have its own problems, but unlike the Samsung app it actually works reasonably well enough. Unfortunately I have yet to find a mail client that works as well as HTC's, though. Maybe I just need to learn how to program this thing and fix K-9 myself.
