Hi there,
I'm trying to configure my wife's hotmail account on her wildfire s using the default mail app and exchange server option, but i only seem to be getting the past few days emails come through.
The folders display properly, but if there were no recent emails, the folders appear empty.
I've configured the account from the "past 3 days" to "display all emails", but this makes no difference.
I can set up a pop3 account and this will display everything in the inbox successfully, but obviously without the folder functionality which is no good.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, or can point me towards a solution pls.?
Regards, S.

I just got my new TouchPro 2 on Verizon today and I installed wireless sync to have my emails from work pushed to my phone (used this on my XV6800). The Outlook email was created correctly and I can access my inbox if I go to all accounts but I can't find out how to add a link to the inbox on the email tab in TouchFlo. The email tab will show that I have new emails but I need to go to the Windows Mobile accounts screen to get to it.
Is there any way to add this account to the email tab in TouchFlo?
You are not alone. Same problem here. Looking for the answer.
Do get the number of messages, but no access to them in TouchFlo?
Yes it will display the number of messages but there is no easy way to display them through the email tab. I have been clicking the inbox link in the notification message that I get when a new wireless sync message comes through. It works but it would be nice to be able to view the messages downloaded through wireless sync in the same way as my gmail account.
Ha. It took me 2 days to figure out why I had 1 message showing on that tab (damn "welcome" email in outlook inbox). I suppose that the whole email tab is of no use to you then, if you use outlook. Maybe a plugin for the home tab is possible?
Same issue
I am also having the issue of the Outlook email not showing on the TouchFlo email tab. I have looked everywhere to try and find where the configuration for this tab is stored, but no luck.
I did have it showing previously when ActiveSync was configured to sync with Outlook (in addition to Wireless Sync), but if I did not disable ActiveSync completely when connected to my computer it created duplicates, and kept creating them for as long as it was connected...Big mess. When I disabled syncing with the inbox on ActiveSync, it deleted all of my email (on the device, then wireless sync deleted everything in Outlook as well), and the Outlook email no longer showed in the TouchFlo email tab.
I am thinking that setting up a bogus ActiveSync partnership with a computer that has nothing in Outlook (and selecting the Inbox) might be a workaround, but it should not be this difficult.
NOTE: I tried removing everything and setting up a bogus partnership through ActiveSync, still did not put the Outlook email back in the TouchFlo Email tab. Just have to use Start > Messaging until someone figures this one out. Would be nice to have it working correctly.
Same issue here. I added second email account, not in wireless sync, but in the email setup, a POP3 account. Now the little envelope goes to that account and then on the bottom you can see the inbox and navigate to the outlook inbox which is your wireless sync. It gets you there with a couple of extra steps, but it isn't the same.
Additionally, you can't see your email for a particular contact, in your wireless sync email. That is a huge benefit of the HTC Touch Pro 2, in that it integrates emails, SMS messages, phone calls, facebook, all through the contacts. Hope someone finds a work around, this is very irritating. Love the phone, but without this, not sure if I will return it within the 30 days.
I'm having the same problem, does anybody have a solution for this?
Thanks!
Same problem
I've got the same issue. Anyone ever find a solution for this that doesn't involve a hard reset?
hello all, i seem to be having a problem with my e-mail in TF3D and was hoping someone would be able to help me...my problem is this, 1, whenever i read an e-mail in tf3d(not opera) it does not register in my actual yahoo acct that it has been read (or deleted for that matter)...also, whenever i send an e-mail using my TF3D (again, not opera) it does not register anywhere on my phone or at the actual yahoo site that i have sent a message...it doesnt appear in sent folder, draft, outbox etc...its like the message was never sent bc theres no visual proof (but the recipient always gets the message even tho its not showing up)...im hoping someone can help me fix these problems bc i love using the tf3d email tab, but i need proof that i sent and received/read this messages...any help would be greatly appreciated
I suppose that your Yahoo account is either setup either via POP3 or IMAP on your device. If you used the HTC Mail Setup wizard, then it's most likely IMAP. Anyway, the point is you're using a pull method to retrieve your mail (as opposed to push).
When you read or delete email from your device, Yahoo doesn't know that. So, that's why it doesn't show up as read/deleted when you check your email via a web browser.
Solution: after you've read or deleted any emails from your device, tap "Menu" and then "Send/Receive".
By default, when you set up email accounts on your device, only the inbox is synchronized with the server. If you want to see items in your "Sent" folder, you'll need to manually set that up. Luckily this is very easy.
Solution: In your inbox, tap "Menu", then "Tools", and then "Manage folders...". Toggle on the folders accordingly.

hey, forst of all i just want to thank u for not only your quick response, but also for your thorough explenation...the only problem is, IVE TRIED BOTH RECOMMENDATIONS!!! (NOT MEANT AS YELLING, MORE LIKE FRUSTRATED)....as far as the deleted messages, i figured that would "update" yahoo so i "resent/rereceived" the messages so it would (hopefully update) but it didnt work...also, nothing is showing up n the sent folder that your talking about on either the phone or on the actual website...its crazy, i really dont understand it...and yes, i do have the little option about saving a copy of sent messages n sent folder checked...any other ideas???
I think I would delete the account and then set it up again manually. Try different port numbers. Better yet. Forward everything to gmail and use it instead. push is awesome (except attachments still don't work right, but imap is easy too).
Hi
I`ve a big problem with HTC-Mail.
I have HTC-Mail configured as follows:
- POP3
- T-Mobile.de settings
- "Delete Mail on Server" = no
HTC-mail delete emails on the server.The option "Delete Mails on Server" is not select. If I will empty the trash then the emails deleted on the server!
The same effect when the option is select. The same effect when the option is selected.
I`ve the problem with Stock- and Custom-ROM (Modaco, Pay`s)
Does anyone have the same problem?
Can anyone help me?
Sorry for my bad english!
Johnny
The problem must be just with pop. IMAP does not seem to suffer from this issue.
I've got pop setup and that doesn't delete mail.
Is there no solution to the problem of pop3?
I need pop not imap

The solution is probably to choose another mail client. I've often heard K9 mail recommended, but since I use Gmail I've not bothered to take a look.
I suspect that the issue you are having with your device is that the "Delete Mails on Server" option is really referring to what the app should do after it has downloaded new emails - not to what you subsequently do with the email.

Afaik, pop has a option to keep mails on server. Imap will keep them there anyways. You should have no probs with that option set.
Edit. Will check when i get home. I could ofc be wrong
Ok:
My settings:
Gmail: pop3/imap forwarding:
Pop download: Keep Gmail's copy in inbox
On the desire the same as yours. It hasn't deleted a single mail since i got my desire.
I think if it's a problem it's a problem with gmail, since i doubt the phone can tell the server what to do.

I have the same problem with HTC's e-mail application.
I am using pop3 and havn't checked the option to delete mail on server but it still does it. Really annoying.
It's almost certainly a problem with the HTC mail app. I have the same issue with a POP account that I have; doesn't seem to make a difference whether the '..mail on server' is on or off.
It also re-downloads emails continously unless they have been deleted from another source (web client or Outlook).
K9 seems to ok but stills needing polishing up. It does have many options that that built in one doesnt' marking emails being one.
Me having this problem with POP too. So I switched to IMAP
I do not have these problems, but if t-mobile does not support IMAP (which is imho better than POP3), try K-9 Mail:

Just saw this thread - on my Incredible with stock Froyo the HTC email application uses POP3 with my email server and has an option in Settings for "Delete emails on server" unchecked most times.
I say most times because it will, at seemingly random times, re-check that option and delete mail directly from the server that I've just viewed and deleted through the phone UI. This option has seemingly self-flipped a few times since I've had Froyo and seems to be a bug.

After updating to HTC froyo my mail app now deletes all previous messages in inbox when refreshing!! Anyone else had this problem??
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I was just looking for the same answer as you...flipping annoying as now it seems to purge my emails on my desire after the update once i've downloaded them on my home PC in Outlook. Never did this before the update and i've checked in the phone email settings how long to keep the mails in the inbox (set to 7 days at the mo) but it makes no difference. At least on WinMo you have a folder called outlook mail that keep them for a defined period.
I hope this can be fixed as i'm starting to not like the Android OS at all after being a WinMo user from day one.
It's just the simple things that let this OS down i think.
I have this prblem too.....any known fix???
You can try this.
"I was having the same issue,but have resolved it by changing my account settings from POP3 to IMAP."
Didn't work for me but who knows.
Experiencing the same here, after froyo update messages from my pop3 account seems to purge when deleted from server.
Needs a fix
Crap. I have the exact same problem. As soon as you download to your pc from the server the emails are gone. No solution yet? There is a workaround you can go to your native client (outlook) go to advanced setting and check "leave emails on server". Until this is fixed this is all we can do.
Here is a brief tutorial for Outlook 2003:
Under the Delivery section of the Advanced tab, Outlook 2003 lets you define how to handle downloaded and old emails on the mail server.
By default, Outlook 2003 downloads your emails from the server, and in effect deletes them from the server after successful downloads. Without needing access to the mail server itself, you can customize Outlook's email deletion behavior. Outlook 2003 gives you thee options.
Checking the Leave a copy of messages on the server checkbox instructs Outlook 2003 to leave a copy of your emails on the server indefinitely. You or your System Administrator will then need to delete the emails from the mail server itself.
Complementary options can refine how long, and under what conditions Outlook 2003 should leave a copy of your emails on the mail server; I have mine set to 30 days.
I have another workaround.
I forward emails to myself and the emails get stored in my SENT folder. Irritating, I know, but at least I have a copy of it on my phone.
same problem here
same problem here, sucks!!
Hope the fix it soon
Sorted problem on mine it was problem with server. I am on ntlworld.com and have to put "recent:" in front of username and now all ok.(not quotes)

Went over to Modaco and installed a completely stock based rooted ROM. Still doing the exact same thing.
Hey everyone,
Today i thought i might try setting up my Desire HD to sync with Hotmail via Exchange. Setup was easy as hell, just had to enter my e-mail adress and password, the rest was done automatically.
The Calendar syncs well, so do the contacts, but what bugs me is the mail client:
I like the fact that i can choose that attachments don't download, but here are my problems:
When i open an E-Mail on my Desktop, the mail gets marked as read on the Hotmail site and on my phone.
When i open a mail on my phone however, i go back to the list of mails. Then, the phone removes all messages from my phone and redownloads them. Now the mail i just read is marked as unread. Anyone know how to fix this?
Another thing: Is it possible to actually show all my E-mails on my Desire HD with the mail app? When it syncs it always shows X/285. Once x has reached 35 it stops. (i have more than 285 mails in my inbox).
Hope to find some help!
