(using MightyROM) - I am having some problems (had same problems with stock rom, so it is not the rom) with Manilla not recognizing GroupWise Mobile Sync as an "Account". I can setup my gmail (home), and Intellisync syncs with GroupWise to "Outlook". All messages, contacts, etc sync, I just cannot switch accounts with Manilla.....(it just shows home as the only account - if I open out of manilla, by clicking "All Messages" I can switch between accounts. I just cannot switch with manilla).
Any ideas?
I'm using Gmail Exchange ActiveSync and the HTC Mail App, because:
1. The Gmail App seems to be either Push Mail (Constant) or Manual (Menu --> Refresh), whereas I'd prefer it to check for me once an hour.
2. I dislike the Gmail interface
But when I click "Refresh", mail I've deleted via IMAP in Outlook or the Webmail doesn't disappear. It does download new mail though. This link:

Refers to using Gmail Exchange ActiveSync on the iPhone, says:
"* To delete a message, move it to the [Gmail]/Trash folder.
* To archive a message, delete it from the Inbox or move it to [Gmail]/All Mail."
I don't mind if pressing DELETE Archives or Deletes the message but surely this isn't correct? Both the Gmail App and IMAP delete mail when you click "Refresh" (that have been deleted elsewhere). I shouldn't have to "Manually" delete mail, I've already deleted elsewhere.
Surely this does too?
Thanks
It's suddenly starting working. I must say Sync using Exchange ActiveSync is very hit and miss!
Last night I was finding it was trying to Sync (the white sync circle) for 5-10 minutes+, despite using Wireless and it only having to update 1-2 e-mail differences. I gave up in the end .
It's now not downloading mail in folders other than the Inbox!
I've had to move mail out, refresh, move it back in and then refresh again, it then downloads the mail but this is tricky to do for Sent Items. If it's still playing up tomorrow, I think I'll switch to IMAP. What a mess:
1. Google Sync: Has no ability to say how often it downloads mail. You either have to accept "Push Mail" (and the extra battery it needs) or Manually click Refresh
2. Gmail Exchange ActiveSync: Is proving very unreliable
Annoyingly IMAP doesn't offer Contacts/Calendar Sync, so I'll still have use one of the above methods for these two. Probably Google Sync, as Exchange ActiveSync will create a redundant Mailbox. Hopefully only Real-time Syncing Calendar/Contacts won't have too much draw on battery. I'm pretty sure it's the Mail part that does this.
Now it won't download anything in my Sent Items and instead just re-downloads the same e-mail, that isn't even in Sent Items any more!
IMO Gmail's (Beta) Exchange ActiveSync is well and truly broken! I'm off to re-configure (for the more basic but reliable) IMAP.
IMAP for me too, works well without any issues
IMAP is so much more reliable than Exchange ActiveSync. It's annoying it doesn't sync Calendar/Contacts too though.
I'm using Google Sync for those two, hopefully battery won't be hammered too much. I'm pretty sure it's E-Mail (not Calendar/Contacts) that does this, when Push is enabled.
My desire gets all my mails, contacts and calenderitems from a MS Exchange Server. So i have the same data on my phone as in my Outlook.
With Outlook i created some rules, so that the exchange moves some mails to subfolders of Inbox.
But i only get a notification if a new mail is stored directly in the Inbox and i have to open each subfolder on the phone to check for new mails.
Is there a way to get a new mail notification on the phone after the exchange moved a mail directly into a subfolder?
Or is there a way to create a link directly to a mail subfolder?
By opening the buildin mail app (the letter symbol with the number of unread messages in the inbox on it) i am always in the inbox and have to open the subfolder manually.
hello all
got a problem with my unrooted,unbranded desire on uk voda pay monthly sim.
basically everytime i go to sync my google contacts i get the message "sync is currently experiencing problem it will be back shortly" now what makes this strange is that my wife and son both have desires same as myself and theirs sync fine. mine used to sync so am not too sure whats wrong or what to do
From your phone, log into your Gmail account where the contacts are stored. Once logged in go to the main menu on the device and select the contacts icon. Under contacts select the menu/options icon to bring up a list of available options. Under this list you will see an option for accounts. Select accounts, this will bring up all of the active e-mail accounts set up on the phone. Under the list of e-mail accounts select the Gmail account. Once the account is selected turn on the sync contacts option.
Now that the account is synced with the phone all of the contacts will be transferred to the device.
In my experience the above advice doesn't work as the sync in the phone is already set up and enabled and the only solution is to delete ALL contacts from the phone (including face book contacts) and start a fresh sync.
I have my hotmail account setup in the normal email app for MIUI 1.5.20 on my Evo.
If my inbox has more than 24 messages, and I delete any of the newest emails, I will receive a notification for new email, when in fact, it is the oldest emails back filling in because deleting the email created room.
I could not find any settings to change how far back it should sync email. It would make sense that if the emails were limited by date instead of just plain number(volume), I wouldn't have this problem. Am I the only one?
