[Q] Push E-Mail Glitch with Stock HTC Mail App - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay so this is my first ever thread here on XDA Developers, and I apologise in advance if it is a little on the tl;dr side, and I HAVE checked for another thread with a solution to this problem but so far found nothing proper...
I have a Desire HD running Honeysense HD V8 with the Stock HTC Mail App, Set my Hotmail account up with Exchange Push settings and have this problem whereby after you delete read messages they just reappear right back again unless you manually delete them off the server, (Which kinda defeats the whole object of having your e-mail with you on your phone, on the move). I have tried everything and have yet to find a solution...
The weird thing though; is that not ALL ROMS do it... It seems to be a select few of AOSP, MIUI and even Sense ROMS that have the problem... At first I thought it was to do with the Kernel used (Since I am still a n00b tbh) and tried switching out to other Kernels but that hasn't solved the problem here. It sort of worked when I switched the default Cyanogen Mod Kernel out, but is yet to work with any Sense Roms, which I prefer immensely due to the Facebook / Twitter etc link options it has...
So I apologise once again for the tl;dr post, just wanted to be as specific as possible...
Hope you guys can help!
Thanks.

Go to settings - accounts - chosse your account - account settings - send & receive. There you can find "sync deleted items from Server".

Thanks for the input steini! Sadly I don't have the same options as you listed them. Both through the Mail settings menu and the normal settings menu ('Coz i'm using Sense maybe?)
In fact, I can't seem to find this "Sync Deleted Items from Server" option ANYWHERE lol...

I'm on a DHD with Sense in German language.
In the option "send & receive" it's the 6th option from top.
At mine it'like this:
Mail size limit
Update shedule
Download options
Auto download message
Folder to sync
Sync deleted folder from server
Edit:
I looked at both of my accounts. At gmail Account i don't have this option to.
Maybe its because your mail provider doesn't support this feature on smartphones.

Ahhhh it might be that then... Awhh bawllz =[
But I swear i've seen that option in other Mail Apps on PC available with Hotmail...
Besides which, How come it works perfectly fine on other ROMS? If that was the case then i'm sure NO other rom would have properly deleted messages when I told it to...
Such a ruddy mystery to me =[

Hmmm...
If i delete a mail on the phone it's gone. But i still have it on the mailserver and can see it on my PC.
But i whant it to be like this.
If i sync mails on my phone the deleted mails don't come back.
When you flashed the Rom did you wipe properly?

How choose several mails in Gmail?

In Gmail - how can I choose several emails in one go, to either delete them all or mark them all as read? Its bit frustrating to go throught the mails one by one... Any one knows how to do it?
You press on the tick on the left hand side of the message.
You press the MENU button while in GMail, and you get the option to delete a bunch in one go. I had this problem when I first used the Desire lol.
ok...
Thanks works great when I need to delete!
I still need to do it for those I want to 'mark as read'... there is no tick on the left!
Thanks

Either you are missing the obvious or you have some sort of messed up version of Gmail there's always been a tick on the left to select Emails, right from Android 1.0

I was using a different widget that has all mails alwaus open on the scene. Switched it now to the other u referred to.. works ok. Thanks
Slightly off topic, but related to this one.
Does anyone know how to multiple select email that has sync'd from Exchange? The standard mail app doesn't seem to offer this, or I'm going blind
Thanks

I actually decided to go back to the HTC mail widget as it gives notification for incoming Google mail... but its bit irritating as you cant choose several emails as in the above mentioned GMAIL app. Hope someone could figure it out!!
This is similar I use at moment:

The Gmail app also gives notifications.

Im newbie... explains everything.

There's no setup for it because it's push... probably much better for the battery than checking every x amount of minutes. You just get an email pushed to the phone when you get a new one.
That sounds cool... but how can I disable that for night time? When I got the phone there was a setup somewhere (lost it now!) where you can choose peak and non peak time updates - wonder if that can be used for Gmail?
Thanks
just turn the internet off at night time.
add the widget to the home screen and switch it to off when you go to bed.
from the home screen, menu>add to home>widget>settings>mobile data
So there's no way to select multiple/all emails for delete/'mark as read' using the HTC mail app?
I'd like to know this aswell, I havnt found a way either

no, i don't think the HTC Mail application does not give you an option to select many emails at once.
its silly really lol specially in the morning when I have around 12 rubbish emails from overnight

You can select multiple emails for deletion in the exchange mail app. Just select menu>delete and you then get selection boxes next to all your messages

hotmail sync issue in Sense (currently using RMK rom, 3.0)

I have a problem with Sense-based Roms where deleted emails on hotmail keep coming back after choosing delete. Did a google search and saw people have been having this problem for a few years but I couldn't find a fix. Does anyone know how / if there is a way to fix this? Has HTC acknowledged the bug?
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

That was supposed to be fixed with gb update I believe
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA Premium App
I think rmk's ROM is based on the official GB update, and it still has the same issue unfortunately. FYI, i have the account set up under exchange/activesync. If I use a third-party email app, the issue doesn't happen, so I think it has something to do with Sense Mail.
Solution
Finally found a solution; hopefully this helps someone else:
1) Delete the account on phone
2) Create a new folder within Hotmail web interface ("InboxCopy" for example)
3) Empty out my Hotmail/Live inbox completely by moving them to "InboxCopy"
4) Re-boot phone
5) Setup the account again on phone
6) Send myself a test message, from myself
7) Move contents of "InboxCopy" back to the Inbox
8) Delete new folder, "Inbox Copy"
**The key is to have an EMPTY inbox before you add the account.**

[Q] VZWNMN Texts?

I keep getting these weird texts from 6250 saying VZWNMN 1 and VZWNMN 2. Anyone else see this?
Me to. Comes prior to every email. VZW said they never heard of it.
Sent from my Incredible Sensation using XDA App
I used to receive these, but I figured out how to stop them!
1. Login to your MyVerizon.
2. Find your number and click on Change Features from the bottom right.
3. Select your device/number.
4. Then scroll down until you find Contact Management and click remove!
And they're gone.
EDIT: Don't want to take credit for this, I got this from Droid Life, but I re-wrote it.
Thank you kind sir! This helped!

I've synced/added gmail and yahoo mail accounts at setup and found that only the yahoo account was affected. Now I just use yahoo mail through their app and the functionality is much better/no VZWNMN emails.
This problem seemed to change from ROM to ROM(some were affected, some not).

I had this problem when I went from a Sense rom back to CM7. I think it happens because on the Sense rom, during setup, it syncs your contacts and email to Verizon. When I flashed a different rom, it could no longer sync.
This has to be one of the most annoying things Verizon has done. I don't mind it syncing. It is actually kind of cool. I don't know how many times I have deleted a very important email and had no backup.
But texting me everytime I get an email is annoying and a pain.
For awhile, I was avoiding ROMs(like MIUI for me) that seemed to have this VZWNMN problem more than others I was using.
I've found that using a market email app(for me, Yahoo!) is better than trying to use the installed android email app for non-Google email. Functionality(like folders) is much better, too.
If you use Titanium to back-up apps, you don't need to re-sign into your email app when you change ROM's, just restore and away you go...

[SUPPORT] ARHD Gmail problem

Hi
Having trouble with Gmail since rooting to ARHD.
When I do emails on my PC (e.g. read, delete) the changes are reflected in the Gmail app on the phone. Push notifications are fine too.
But it doesn't work the other way around, i.e. when I mark emails as read or delete them on the phone, the changes never appear anywhere else - so when I log in to PC Gmail it's as if I've never done anything on the phone.
I thought it was do with sync settings, but they are all "on" - and even if I do a manual refresh in the app, nothing happens .
I've done some searches, but nothing I've found quite matches this problem (I could have missed a solution of course!).
Any ideas please, as this seems so simple to solve it's driving me crazy?!
Thanks
Rob
Go into settings, apps and clear data from gmail.

I've never had a problem with stock email, I mainly use IMAP but have occasionally set pop. I did however have to go to my email provider settings and tick allow IMAP.
I have used K9 before which seemed OK, not sure how frequently it'll check though

If I'm honest it sounds like somewhere you're entering the wrong settings
I use the stock mail app for my work emails from without issue.
Thing is these pop servers are really sensitive to the ports you try to use and what type of encryption you use etc, get one wrong and it will fail
Have you got another working email client on a pc or something that you can literally just copy the settings from, ports, encryption and all?

Does it give any errors when connecting?
Password definitely correct? Normally greyed out otherwise so I guess there's a slight slight chance that that's wrong? Can you reset it and try again, just to be sure? Unless of course the password you're trying works elsewhere like Web mail etc

Tried it about 10 times and works fine on my server and windows mail, really don't understand what it can be.
Hi just done this again and seems to be working, but one more question where do i change the sound for email alerts ?
goto normal settings (not email settings)>sound>notification sound
i could swear the old mail app used to let it have a separate sound of its own though.. weird.
