Hi all,
Just set my XDA2s up for my gmail acount.
All is fine, I can receive and send mail no problems.
However, if I have a message in my inbox which I have read it gets deleted on the next send/receive.
I cannot find a way to tell it to keep my messages until I delete them manually...
Any ideas?
Rich
I have exactly the same problem.
Anyone knows?
gmail.
Me go try.
Never thought of using gmail on the qtek.
same here... i thought it was only with imate jams...
I don't have that problem here.
I only see option to remove deleted items manually or automatic.
its under storage.
Hi,
That option purely manages what to do with items marked as deleted. Not those in the inbox.
I am glad others see the problem. How do you have things set up?
I set my gmail not to archive or delete the items I download and read. However, I can't help but think that this is a setting with the XDA2s.

There's no thing wrong with your XDA IIs or Gmail.
Go into the settings of your gmail account on your XDA IIs. At the "Server information" screen, there is an "Options" button. Go into the Options screen. On the last screen,
* If you choose "Get full copy of messages" your messages will be deleted off of the server once you do a "Send/Receive Mail" This is common for all POP3 servers. Gmail has a special option in the "Mail Settings/Forwarding and POP" for you to "Keep Gmail's copy in the Inbox" even if you do a "Get a full copy of messages" Other POP3 servers don't have this special option so emails will get deleted. To keep it consistent with other POP3 servers in case you have multiple email accounts, just select "Trash Gmail's copy"
* If you choose "Get message headers only" and include 999K (32K is about a screen full of email) you will still see most of the body of your emails once you do a "Send/Receive Mail" but your emails won't be deleted off of the server. Now... if you realize some of the emails are SPAM and you want do delete them off of the server to save yourself from downloading those SPAM mails again to your desktop email software, you can click on the SPAM mail and "Mark for download". Then do a "Send/Receive Mail". Those emails that are marked for download will then be downloaded to your XDA IIs and deleted from the server. On your XDA IIs, you can just delete them once the "Send/Receive Mail" is done.
Hope it helps.
Does anyone kn ow why I keep getting a message "Messages cannot be downloaded to your mobile device. Make sure that you are connected and that your e-mail account settings are correct. Then, try to download messages again". I'm sure that my settings are correct. I can send emails OK - it's just will not down.load them. Any ideas?
Hi Suntingwong,
This does not appear to help unfortunately. The problem is not what happes to the mail at the gmail side but at the ppc side. No matter what I do, once I have read (or downloaded and read) a mail in my XDA2s's inbox it is removed from the XDA2s's inbox at the next send/receive. It is not sent to the deleted folder - just removed. I am after a way to keep it in the inbox as read, as you would logically expect it to be.
Rich
I can confirm the above.
It seems that each time you go over the send and recive you inbox is reset to empty. Thus what you had downloaded (as header or full text), and read just goes into never never land.
I am not sure what the differnese is betwwen the 2 icons at the bottom, both push your mail.
I have been lost on this one for a long time, adding to it I have also been lost on how I can sync my pop.mail with my outlook pst for the sent items and inbox.
Seems like the sysnc only goes Between the default mal box, which meens I CANT configer as pop. So I cant send unless I am attached to the desktop over that mail box.
Its concept that I don't understand and have yet to find a soulution.

Sorry I misread your question. I was thinking you were bothered by emails getting deleted from gmail whenever they got downloaded to your PPC.
I only use my PPC to quickly screen mails so this is not a problem for me. As long as I don't download emails from the server (set just to get header and 999K of body) then my emails won't get deleted from the server nor the PPC until I downloaded them to my desktop email software or when I delete them manually from my PPC.
Now if you want to keep your emails in your PPC no matter what happened to them on the server (got downloaded, etc...) You can mark your emails as "not read" whenever you're done reading them. That will keep them from being removed from your PPC. It's an arduous thing to do but it seems to be the only way...
Hope it helps
There has got to be a better solution than that.
I have the same problem as well, and would really like to see a fix.
You must enter in the settings of your account (upper right corner) and go to "Forwarding and POP". There you have this options:
1. Status: POP is enabled for all mail that has arrived since 1/1/05
Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)
Enable POP only for mail that arrives from now on
Disable POP
Yoy must select the first option (Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)), click on "Save changes" and now the messages dont disappear when you read it in your PPC.
Saludos.
I was sad to find out that the IIs only retains 6 email accounts. It seams that this problem isn't only inharent to gmail account. I have configured 3 of my own domain pop3 accounts. When I download the email to my IIs, the emails on my IIs disappear the next time I send/receive.
segoz
Look I feel like a real dumb a**.
I cant work your fix as I cant find that setting. Top right is a drop down for me (From, recived date, subject.)
In accounts I get 1/4 and see nothing on the next 3 pages that does anything for me.
Were should I be as it seems its not in messaging.
This is my observation... wondering if any body sees the same thing.
1. If the message is no longer on the server, upon the next Send/Receive, the message is removed from PPC.
2. If a message is not read on PPC, it will not be removed from PPC no matter if it is still on the server or not
2. There is no universal rules as to when a message is removed from the server when it is accessed via POP3
3. For gmail, this is configurable (Mail Settings>Forwarding and POP>[keep Gmail's copy in the Inbox, archive Gmail's copy, trash Gmai's copy])
4. For adelphia.net, a message is not removed no matter if only header or full body is downloaded. A message is only removed when accessed via desktop email software (if the software is NOT configured to leave a copy of the email on ther server)
5. For netzero.net, a messsage is not removed from the server if only header is downloaded to PPC. A message is removed from the server if full body is downloaded PPC.
So if one wants to keep a copy of gmail's email on the PPC, one has to set up Gmail to "keep Gmail's copy in the Inbox" in the "Forwarding and POP" setting.
One also must configure desktop email to keep a copy on the server. For Outlook 2003, this setting is found on the "Advanced" tab right under the POP3/SMTP port settings.
That's some good observations sumtingwong. I could care less about gmail since all junk go through gmail. I'm more conserned about my domain pop accounts' email disappearing from my PPC. I will leave the messages on all 3 dedicated servers for the next few day to test your observations. stay tuned..
ps. damn this site is crawling. is it getting DDoS'ed?
Site's been crawling for days now........new servers?
Anyway - i can find no way to stop the mails dissapearing on the PPC. So, I have worked round it by creating a 'keep' folder and I simply move the mails I want to that after reading them. Not ideal but it works for now.
R
I left the messages on my mail servers while picking up full email from my PPC mail client. As sumtingwong posted, the mail doesn't disappear from my PPC anymore. I have successfuly sent received mail the past 3 days on 3 different email servers. All email are still on my PPC. I will delete all mail from the servers and see if the emails remain on the PPC.
ps. I pick up mail on both my own email servers and gmail.
I'm starting to get annoyed. Just recently, my Gmail emails are disappearing. But my emails from my own email servers are still on my PPC which doesn't disappear like the Gamil emails. The most anoying thing is, when I delete the emails from my PPC that belongs to my email servers, the same emails are redownloaded again. It's like the PPC email client doen't know the emails have already been downloaded. This doesn't happen to my other phones with email clients.
WTF, are there any other email clients we can use instead of the built in POS Outlook?
Hi!
I have one simple question
How can i setup my mail to receive every mail automaticly, without pressing send/recieive button when i expect some?
You could set the settings to check the Mail-Inbox every XX Minutes. These settings you can easely change going to your account settings for you mail. If you have the ability to sync with an Exchange Server, maybe from your work or Enterprise, you could use Direct Push. This lets you get Emails immediately. But this depends on what you want and what is possible for you.
Always notice that battery drain is higher then without it.
Thx for replays
I know that i can set the settings to check every xx minutes, but I need to get mail immediately. How can i set up direct push?

First we need to know what is your Service provider for your email. If it´s something private like [email protected] or [email protected] i think it won´t be possible, because they don´t have Direct Push functionallety. Some days ago, Google Mail startet a free Direct Push Service. If you have an account there follow these instructions: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
If you don´t have an Gmail account you could search if your Service Provider has a additional payed Push Service for you.
Another thing you could do is to setup an Google Mail account and automaticly forward all you messages directly to your Gmail account. Then you would be able to recieve immediately your emails from your other account over Direct Push.
Hope it helps a little bit.
I had [email protected] mail adress, but i can use every mail adress I want. So i setup gmail account and it is working i sent few mails to my other email adress and it is working, and when i replay from computer to phone and on the phone click send/receive, i see new mails. But i dont get any notification that i get new mail. Maybe a stupid question, do I need to have wifi on? And how to get notifications for new incoming mails now?

If you want to recieve mails without having to press everytime Send/Recieve Button you can change the Settings for your account on you Phone. There should be an Option to automatically recieve mails every xx Minutes/Hours.
Or take a look at the Google Sync page i´ve posted before. Then you can setup Direct Push for real time reception, without having to press Send/Recieve Button.
Hi, is it possible to set the email can be download in specified period automatically (say from 9:00am to 6:00pm)? Thanks!

With activesync and push mail you can. It has a special setting for 'down time' where you can tell it to only check mail every xx minutes or hours
Now i have synced google mail with active sync and everything was allright, but again, when i send email from a different account to my gmail account on the phone, i dont get mail, and i dont get notification (email notification is set to on btw), i need to press send/receive... What is the problem now?
is your data turned on? IF you're using something like HDTweak to turn off data after a certain amount of time it's not going to work. Your data connection should always be on for PUSH to work.
you need a push mail you can download (emozemail) its free i tested it its verry good you can receive a real time mail automatically and instantly
I didnt find where to turn off data in HDTweak..
And i didnt changed anything in that so is it turned off?
And btw, phone is trying to connect to internet every i-dont-know minutes with gprs (dont work) and then with wifi and then nothing happens. I get notification for maybe 1 out of 10 mails now..
i successfully set up my hotmail in my X1, set the sync frequency to As Items Arrive, intending to activate push mail.
but now everytime i have new mail, i am not notified at all, not even showing of the numbers of new mails in the Today Screen.
i still need to manually go Menu > Send/Receive to update my mailbox.
any1 got solution or what application i need install?
thanks
yes: GMAIL lol
This would be a workaround, but it would work.
1. Create a Gmail account.
2. Forward your Hotmail to Gmail.
3. Set up your Gmail so that you can reply using your Hotmail account. (yeah you can do that...nifty eh?)
4. Go to your Outlook on your phone and set up "gmail-sync" as your push mail account to retrieve from. It's in beta right now but is working 100% perfectly on my Kaiser. (I'm in here because I'm getting a SEX1 in a couple days ) I frickin' LOVE IT - it pushes IMMEDIATELY as soon as the mail comes in. Instructions here:
http://www.google.com/mobile/products/sync.html#p=winmo
5. Now all your e-mails will be stored to your phone permanently too, instead of the inbox getting wiped every time you send receive, or whenever you have your timing set up for that.
6. Forget about Hotmail and start using Gmail lol. Just kidding...but if you set it up that way, you can still use your Hotmail completely, Gmail will be practically invisible to you. (Or is it the other way around? lol)
Seriously, Google's free push e-mail service is amaaazing. I am LOVING it.
ohhh pls tell me how to fwd mails
in aol /hotmail pls
Syncing frequency to As Items Arrive works perfectly for me.
I confirm that both hotmail and gmail works as a push mail on my XPERIA.
For hotmail, you can just use windows live connection setup and choose/set "as items arrive" and set the time as "always". For gmail, you can use the activesync feature on outlook mobile as have been told by deezy7 above.
Or else, you can use the feature from Emoze service.
hi all.
thanks for ur advices.
i did add my hotmail using the Windows Live program, did set to "as items arrive" and did set for "always"
but nothing ever appear in my pjone for new mail unless i do it manually using "send/receive"
i prefer to use my hotmail acc ley.
any1 pls help mi.
thanks

If you would like to have a free account for push mail service you should try Emoze. I have been playing with Emoze and honestly it helps me much to get my XPERIA have numerous mail account which works as a push mail ....
Ok, I did some workaround, created another gmail account and forwarded all my accounts to that one, and I receiving only that one.
Maybe not the best solution , but I prefer not to use online services like mobipush and such where u leave them your user name and password for each account u have...
As an alternative to Emoze i use Seven Beta. It provides near realtime push on most types of account.

Hey icbicb, in response to your other question as well, my suggestion would have been to do what you already did, which is create another gmail acccount I also prefer not to use any other online services, and was very happy when Google came out with Gmail Sync, since I've already been using my gmail account for five years, and don't have to give out sensitive information to yet another company
To those here using other services, I'd suggest you give Gmail Sync a try. Deedee, I noticed you said that Seven Beta provides you with near realtime push. I've noticed with Gmail Sync, and having my Gmail open at the same time on my pc at work, that Gmail Sync pushes in actual realtime! I'll hear the notification on my phone first before my page refreshes to show me my new e-mail! Also, I should mention that I am using gmail plug-ins to autoupdate the screen when new e-mails come in, and the Gmail sync sends them to my phone simultaneously or even before my page refreshes, thus, I know that it is actual real-time. Just like blackberry's service! I'm in love with it right now
icbicb, I'm glad it's working out for you , loyjwe I hope you are able to give this a try...
it's a good solution, but if i transfert the mail from hotmail to gmail they will be of the hotmail box...
And it's a probleme for me...
do you have a solution for that
(excus me for my bad english)
Big advantage of Seven Beta is that it works for almost all POP3/IMAP email systems and it keeps all the accounts separate so that replies from your PPC keep the correct return address.
I have it working on Gmail x 2, Hotmail and a POP3 account and all four accounts are independant of each other.
I said near real time sync as i didn't want to claim real time in case it wasn't. I rarely use the web interface since starting Seven so haven't been in a position to check. As i tell the BB users at work if you have time to compare the two delivery times then maybe you don't need a BB.

Hi titeloo...bad english is okay lol, but, I don't really understand what you mean by "they will be of the hotmail box..." need further explanation!!
@Deedee, gmail does that also....so... for example, when you get mail forwarded to your gmail account, if it was originally sent to your hotmail account, when you reply on the phone, it will reply from the hotmail account. Gmail's set up pretty good that way. I believe right now though they have a limit on the number of accounts you can send mail from, not sure if it is 3 or 4. So it's pretty neat that Seven Beta keeps all accounts separate ...btw very nice avatar
Seven is only restricted by the number of accounts that can be set up in WM, think it's 8 in total, that includes your ActiveSync/Exchange and SMS accounts.
Thanks for the compliment. Always prefer to use real piccies for avatars where practical.
hi,
i want to use my hotmail account in the mailbox on my touch pro 2.
but when i want to enter my hotmail account, the phone opens opera and goes to windows live website.
i don't want that.
i tried to enter hotnail, instead of hotmail.
then enter the details, and change it to hotMail. com.
that doesn't work.
entering it differently doesn't work either.
even when i sync with my outlook it doesn't copy my hotmail account.
i'm sick of it.... i would like to decide which accounts i can use on my phone.
so could anyone tell me how i can get my hotmail account on my htc touch pro 2.
You have to download windows live fot it to work. When you enter the hotmail adres it will indeed fo online to fetch the cab. After installing the cab your mail will show up in the mail tab of HTC sense.
You might already have windows live in your phone... check that first... But like sdemon said you need to log into windows live and then as you are doing your initial sign in it will give you the option of having the mail sync to your phone.
i don't get it....
i go to windows live, and i sign in with my hotmail account.
but nowhere is the option to download a .cab or to sync.
maybe it's just me, but i just can't seem to find it....
in the meantime i'll try if my windows live version is up to date, and if my rom is up to date....
You dont have to get windows live to set up an hotmail account.
go to your messages to set up a new e-mail accunt, chose for internet e-mail, fill in your e-mail address, in stead of .COM fill in .coN at the end like: [email protected]
incoming mail server: [email protected]:995
outgoing ( smtp server ) smtp.live.com:25
Check the outgoing server requires authentication and use the same name and password for sending e-mail
Thats got to work.

When I try to set-up my hotmail (either through TF3D or WM 6.5), it automatically takes me to Windows Live to set the account up. Once it is set up, it shows up in TF3D and WM.

ditto... has been like that for years
wel... it took me a little while and quit a few fora's.....
first i updated the phone with the latest ROM from the htc website.
the phone has changed a lot, i've got sense now (no weird working TF3D).
the new software is great (excepts for some issues with the htc sms messages program).
next i tried all the same, but it didn't work.
then i found out how to do it (thanks to this topic).
you open windows live, and you log in with your hotmail account.
in the middle screen you see several options (like "log on messenger") and the last one says "sync account".
check that one, and the phone does almost everything.
it kinda works... except for 1 thing.... i can't enter a second hotmail account.
the option of filling in hotmail.coN instead of .coM doesn't work.
the email you have to fill in is the email the phone uses to register with the server.
if you change .coN back to .coM, the phone recognizes the fact that it's a hotmail account and redirects you straight to the windos live website.
other option people discuss in this topic don't seem to work.
at least not with the latest ROM.
No Hotmail, no Roadrunner, nothing works anymore
I followed all the instructions given here but still, I can't set up my Hotmail account. I logged in to my account but there was no option to "sync account" like supervinnie40 mentioned.
Moreover, in addition to not being able to set up a Hotmail account anymore (happened overnight) I've not been able to send any e-mails using RoadRunner from TWC, NY.
As far as the Hotmail account goes, it's very frustrating because it was the only one I was able to use. Why is it working one day and gone the day after?
Hard reset doesn't solve the problem either.
Expensive phone, some features not working. Frustrating.
HTC Touch Pro 2 (Sprint). I don't like it so much anymore.

Hi everyone, lately after the OTA update of my Desire HD with Android 2.3.5 ( 3.13.707.4 ) i experience strange problems with the Mail application. The mail applications was setup before and now with my gmail accound, using ActiveSync. Before the update my mail was pushed well to say so, every time i received an email in seconds was on the phone.
Now, the settings in the Mail app are the same, push mail, but when i receive an email, even i see that the Mail client is syncing the mail will not appear, after several manual refresh the mail appears.
Another strange thing, during the day i don't receive the mail as was supposed to, although the mail is setup to push mail. If a let the phone alone and i do not check the mails manual, after 2-3 hours the client suddenly sync all the emails..
Dose anyone experience this problem?
P.S. i setup the Gmail program on my HTC and this is working well but i don't really like the program, i want to use Mail.
Thank you for being patient to read this...long post
Same Problem On DHD 3.12.405.8
Hy there,
it's been a while, since 3.0 Sense (1st Gingerbread update); even custom roms for our device or from other porting have this issue. I have stock www3.12.405.1
Now it seems to me i found a way out. Go to your google account on the web, and make sure pop3 is disabled in account settings.
Let me know if it works.
Bye.

Hello, ok now i disable the POP access from Gmail settings, today i will test to see if the mail behavior is ok and i will post the results.
Till now, after i disable tht POP access i test by sending an e'mail from another account and still no luck, the mail didn't come on my DHD, i will wait more and see if other mail are pushed on the device.
Thaks
This strange problem happened with me both in Gmail and Yahoo. I finally figured out the solution. Go to the account settings and manually change the settings. You will find that the mail application has added "htc" in the incoming server settings. Just delete "htc" and you will be good to go.
SO incoming settings for Gmail should be:
imap.gmail.com
NOT
htc.imap.gmail.com
This also applies to Yahoo mail if you use it, just remove "htc" from the server address.
Ok, but imap.google.com is for IMAP, i use exchange settings and in Mail application m.google.com
Ok, till now no change in the Mail behavior, still syncs whenever it wants apparently.
In Gmail settings POP3 is OFF and IMAP ON
Any one, any idea?
Strange thing....i observed that if i setup the default gmail application to sync mails the Mail app syncs to
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using XDA App
Any ideas about this behavior?
yesterday i let the phone to sync only the exchange account and my mails were downloaded randomly, there were situations when the mail won't download even if i open the Mail app and refresh manual. I have to refresh for about 3-4 times for the mails to be sync....all without an error

P.S. i setup the Gmail program on my HTC and this is working well but i don't really like the program, i want to use Mail.
Thank you for being patient to read this...long post

I have the same issue. After coming out of airplane mode If I manually refresh for new mail across several exchange and pop accounts including GMAIL. It seems as if nothing happens for ages before it completes. However if you start the refresh, immediately cancel it and refresh again it works as it should...
Thanks! I will try this today and post the results

ActiveSync is not pop or imap... it's exchange.
Do not configure anything in your mail app or gmail app.
Go in Configuration->Account and sync->Add account.
Choose 'Enterprise' and fill this info of Exchange mail.
For ex:
\[email protected]
password
server=m.google.com
tic 'SSL'
then follow instruction, you're done (and leave auto/push for frequency)
All your mail will be in the default mail app.
those are exact my settings, today i delete the account and create another one, thinking that my be a problem because the account was created previously the OTA update.
THE PROBLEM...is annoying!!! In the first hours the mail came as it supposed to ( push mail ), around 2PM, after several hours of good time ( no relations, just as a fact ) the mail was, again, syncing but no mail.....that was strange, i click and open the Mail app, refresh manualy, no new mail......i check the gmail account on my computer and were several mails in the inbox. After that i click refresh in the Mail app and still nothing, i click the button for 3-4 times and the mails appears. WHY???
i wand my nokia 3310 back (
kidding....
hum... then I can't understand.
I have no idea if it's on your phone side or server side.
You have to compare... but not easy.
You have to find a way to isolate phone and server. If you have another phone, configure it to check. If you have the same effect with more than one device maybe it's on server side. You can also try to flash another ROM. I'm with ICS and it's working smoothly (4 exchange account and 1 IMAP).
Sorry to not be able to help more, never encounter this problem.
For me it's pushed with exchange, so the sending is manage by the server.
Make sure also that you're still connected to a network. Try browsing Internet.
Just ideas... good tricky question...
Thanks!
I tested out a few days ago, i configured the Gmail app from my HTC to sync the e-mails.....at the same time, the Mail app was configured as today. Surprise! when an e-mail arrived ( pushed ) in Gmail app arrived in Mail app as well
I thought that the problem was resolved and i disable the sync for the Gmail app leaving just the Maill to sync.....then you now all.....the mail arrives when my phone wants to )
Still an interesting thread
today i decided to do a factory defaults.....i erased everything and the SD too.
still the same problem, for the first mails arrived was ok...were pushed. after 15-20 min. the rest of the incoming mails no push, only after i have to do a manual refresh for 3-4 times
i will eat this phone!
Does this problem happen to you on Wifi and 3G? If it only happens on 3G then I think your network provider uses server caching. I have the same problem with my network and Whatsapp.
I tried both, 3g and wi fi....the same

Ok....i think i have the answer for this incredible behavior of this Mail app
Yesterday i was talking with a friend about this strange behavior and we start doing some random tests with different settings in the Mail app till we discover this:
The default settings of peak time start was 08:00 and peak time end 20:00
We change this to: peak time start 07:00 peak time end 6:59
now it's working well....i think it's a bug here because i use the peak time till the OTA update with this settings:
peak start 07:00 peak end 22:00 and i had no problem.
Thank you for your answers all !!!!
i think we can close this thread
Glad you figured it out
Now it's weekend....and my mail starts again.....my mails are pushed when the Maill app wants. Hope it's just for weekend.....
