Running the stock ICS email app on a stock Verizon Galaxy Nexus.
When I look at my email inbox folder, I see emails sorted top to bottom, by date, and each individual email shows the senders name or email address.
When I look in my sent mail folder, I see emails sorted top to bottom, by date, and each individual email shows my name.
In any other email app, the sent mail shows the name of the person you sent the mail to. It's useless showing my name. I know I sent it. I want to know to whom it was sent.
I can't find any way to change this.
I noticed this as well and I believe it is in hove the app sets up with the POP email settings. If you actually sign into you email account they should all show properly sent in that sent folder. At least I can say hotmail is that way.
Please hit the thanks button if I helped.
It does it on both my corporate Exchange Outlook email and my Yahoo email.
Is this a bug, or is there a setting somewhere I missed?

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).
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)...
Not sure if this is android or the email app problem. the sgs does not allow me to respond to meeting invites. I have to save to calendar manually. Anyone knows?
I have the same problem. Could not find a way to send an invite for an appointment, either. The email client needs some polishing ;-)
Here is my wishlist
1. Notification about incoming mails even if they are sorted into a subfolder (Server-side rules with my Exchange Server)
2. Improvement in how the folders are displayed. I've got subfolders of subfolders. All that is not presented very well. Maybe have separated views for folders and emails.
3. The invites issue solved as mentioned above.
4. I would like to have unread messages to be better distinguished from already read mails.
Maybe froyo is bringing all that to us
Have a good night!
Hu guys,
i do have the same issue here. No possibility to accept meeting request.
Works fine on HTC Desire ;(
I guess this is a general problem with the build in email client of the sgs. I read in other forums that will be solved by froyo.
In the meantime i am using Touchdown Exchange Client. This client looks great the push mail function works properly - the only issue is the low performance.

I believe XWJM1 comes with that features, but the same feature not available at XWJM5.
Hey guys I am not sure if this will help you but I too had the same problem I downloaded the app from the market called ICS-Bot and it reads the attachment coming in. I am not sure what email account you are using but what I did was have any emails going to my corporate or/pop3 account from my work and I set a rule up that will forward any email with the subject titled Meeting in it and have it forwarded to my gmail account and once it arrives it will be read as an .ics file where you can preview it and set it up on your calendar. The downside is that you cannot edit or send a response back but you can inout the event onto your calendar and set reminders, I know it is not what we want but at least you have the event in your calendar, hope this helps.
Hey everyone, Im a noob sorry if this has been answered I did a search but couldn't find an answer.
For my hotmail account, I noticed emails do not arrive as they are received. I send myself a couple of emails from my computer and my phone does not get it. I currently have my inbox check frequency at "every 5 minutes"
If this means that it will only receive emails every 5 minutes is there a way to change it to as they arrive?
Thanks in advanced.

I don't have the email app installed as I don't use it so I can't look into it myself but, wherever you set you check frequency is where that change will be made; if the most frequent setting is 5min then that's all you can get. Granted, the app may have a "check now" option (most do), but that would be manual.

If the most frequent fetch time you can find is "every 5 min" then that's what you're stuck with unless you manually refresh.
If you were to forward them to gmail then the gmail account will push email to your device. The gmail app actually has the ability to push rather than just do a timed sync. But in this case remember you can't reply via gmail because it will reply with the gmail address, not the hotmail address. Its not the most elegant solution but if you NEED to have push e-mail I guess thats what you can do.

If you don't like or want to use hotmail application, you can set your hotmail account to forward mails automatically to gmail. So hotmail instantly pushes mails to gmail and you can see them on gmail on time. I have configured hotmail like this and never have problem by reading mails from gmail. Moreover, if you want, you can add second mail address to gmail acoount (it might be a hotmail address) and select it automatically or manually when you send mails from gmails. So receivers see your hotmail address on "from" line and they can reply to your hotmail.i hope i could tell what i want to say

Hmmm I might try this, because this new hotmail app does have push, but so far for me its a huge battery hog.

I've had great results with k9mail on gmail and an old work account. Both worked on push setup. Have a look at it and see if there are setting for hotmail push. Its free BTW.

Hi, wondering if anyone having this same issue. Both the Gmail and Email app are not showing the complete email in sent email. When I open the emails in the sent folder, it only showed what I typed in that email, and not the rest of the thread. I definitely checked the included text checkout before hitting send. Also, when I log into gmail on the web and my yahoo mail, and open the same email. I can see the rest of the thread from the web. Just on the app it's not showing.
