So I just got the Nexus today and so far I am loving it. One thing that is annoying me is that exchange contact pictures aren't showing up in the mail client. In fact for those colleagues that I have in my phone's contact list the email client is not recognizing them as the same contact. This worked without issue on my Rezound but that was using the HTC Sense email client. Is there a setting somewhere I need to change to get this to work on the Nexus?

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.

I have had my lovely Desire since Thursday. First time using an Android phone and I love it.
One thing I have noticed is that my yahoo and hotmail accounts are not syncing the 'marked as read'. I have read the emails on the phone, but when I look at the mail on my laptop its still unread. Anyone had any simular issues?
try seven beta http://community.seven.com/main.php the problem you are having is that you have a pop connection to hotmail. So the phone keeps a copy of the emails rather than the push email which will understand read flags etc.

tbh your best bet is to do what i did and have your hotmail forwarded to a gmail account and use that gmail is much better and you can even get it to send as the hotmail addy. Also being a google phone it works a treat.
I just picked up my Desire a couple days ago and all-in-all I'm pretty pleased with it! ..I just had some questions regarding the pre-installed mail client for the desire that some of you may be able to answer. (F.Y.I. the mail app is using my Gmail account by default)
1. Is there a way for the mail client to automatically sort mails once its received? For example, if I were to receive an email from my co-worker, the app would automatically sort that email to the "Work" Folder without me having to do it manually.
2. It seems when you open up the mail client, each mail is displayed by the sender's email address, not the sender's actual name. Even though I have the email address registered to their actual name in my phonebook, it still displays the emails by address and mail subject in small print below it. (On the other hand, the sender's name is displayed under the Messages App...But that only works for people communicating via SMS..)
Does anyone know how to fix these two issues. It would really make my life a little easier.
Big thanks in advanced!
No one knows how to fix this issue?
Hm, i don't have these issues. My desire is showing names just fine, even if they are not in my contact list...
Sorting problem...hm...i've done that with vip option in a mail app. Just add some contacts in vip section and all mail recieved from them will go in that section...

If you are using gmail, or some mail client that supports filtering. You could apply filters to specific people. That filter will automatically apply label to every mail from that contact (will put every mail from that contact(s) to specific folder)...
Hey, hope some one here can help as its driving me up the wall.
I have gone from the HTC HD2 which was great for my mail as I use hotmail.
I now have Desire HD but hotmail seems to be a big problem for it.
First problem I had was I could not get hotmail setup using Microsoft Exchange, after the recent update I can now get it to conncect So I can now view all my folders which is what I needed as I have used hotmail for 10 years and have all my mail set into folders. Problem I now have is I can see my folders but cant open any of my mail using HTML. It all wants to open in plain text
Why cant this great device seem to do somthing as simple as push mail form my hotmail, show my folders and open my mail in html so I can view them in full??
anybody else got this problem and have this sorted?
Thanks nathan
Hey all,
I've had this issue ever since I've been using Samsung phones with TouchWiz. The issue is that when I send mail it shows it as coming from my hotmail USER NAME instead of my hotmail display name. This means that instead of my first name and last name (John Smith) showing up in the from field when I send an email, it shows up as jsmith. This issue seems to have been around forever. It works fine with my work exchange account though. Any ideas, help, solutions etc?
Thanks,
Tawheed
