So this has happened on an ICS leaked ROM on my Epic 4G Touch and now on my Galaxy Nexus. Since the GN is ICS-native I thought I'd ask here.
I have an Exchange account linked up. 2x on the Epic and now today on the GN the mail app has started replying to all messages in my inbox with a blank message. To all recipients, including myself. I am sure it's from my phone because
-it has my name in quotes, which is not the case when one uses the actual e-mail client at work
-they are not in my sent box in the e-mail client/system at work
-they are in the "mobile sent" box on the phone.
So...anyone have any idea why this might be happening? Any one else seen this?
here's another way of asking - anyone have their GN set up for Exchange for more than...4 months where this has NOT happened?
I was good on my Epic for at least a month on ICS. Probably 6 weeks. Then 2x on the Epic in a matter of 3 weeks, then just 1 week later on my GN.
thanks.
I have been using exchange account with my nexus since early feb. before that on my galaxy S as well. I do remember this happening on my galaxy S once. but that was using samsung provided email client and not native google email client. Per my notes, I deleted my exchange account and added it again and that fixed the issue for a while. I however ended up replacing stock email client with an app called Touchdown Exchange. it is much better exchange client. and allowed me to circumvent some additional annoyances with stock email client. I know this does not help you solve your issue necessarily
i have had this problem for a while.
i used to have a D1, and one day, randomly about 6 months ago, it decided to resend every email i'd sent from my phone, but with blank content. I noticed that i had "sync 2 weeks" selected, and it resent every email from the past 2 weeks.
last week (6 weeks after getting my GNEX), same issue - this time, i had it set to only sync 1 week, and again, only 1 weeks' worth of emails was resent. Then again, yesterday.
Exchange 2007 with stock client.
I've changed it from PUSH to EVERY 5 MINUTES, and restricted my "days to sync" to 3.
Were you on PUSH as well? I hope to God this is the cause (Push/Exchange conflict), because if not, my work will force me to ditch the GNEX and get a BlackBerry.

Hello Experts
I am having this crazy problem since I am using HTC TP2 (T-mobile version). One of my Yahoo accounts starts downloading all of my emails on my phone. I have settings for to download only email for last 3 days. My other emails like gmail and live accounts are fine, but only yahoo emails is giving this problem.
I tried deleting the account and adding again. It is fine for few days and then start doing it again. Also I have exchanged my TP2 twice for another issue and I have seen this issue on all phones.
Is there a setting on my account (online version) that is doing it.
Need help.
I swear this ish happened to me yesterday. I picked up my phone and saw 19 new emails. That only happens when someone from my old school dies and emails are exchanged on our school forum. I opened my inbox and discovered all the read and unread emails in my Yahoo inbox had been downloaded to my phone...phew! big relief no one died but why the hell did that happen? I think I did a send/recieve and all the emails just diasappeared and it went back to normal.
guys, I got a really odd issue with my tilt 2 and yahoo email. I got the phone setup receiving emails from a couple of my email account, yahoo and gmail. For some reason, one of my yahoo email always download all of the mails after like a day or two of use despite the fact I set it to 1 day or 3 days. What is wrong with it?
Finally!! Someone who can relate to what I'm going through.
Any fixes for this? It had downloaded over 1400 emails in one Yahoo account and everything on the phone was lagging. There were some areas I couldn't get to: Home Screen. I ended up doing another hard reset and reloading the data from there. The only thing that sucks about that is that I lose the threaded SMS that I had.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ditto on the problem. I haven't figured out why it does this yet...
same issue has happened a few times to me. only solution I found was going to yahoo on my pc & archiving old emails so I keep only 100-200 emails in my inbox.

This is a rare issue for me. It's happened to me less than 10 times (on my HD2 and my TP2).
The only thing I do when I see it trying to download 300+ (instead of the 5 days of mail I want), I press Menu > Send/Receive to force-stop the download. When I retry, it goes back to downloading the 5 days-worth of mail.
Hi,
I just picked up this phone & am trying to get exchange working. It works fine on my OG Evo (and the 3d which I just returned) but not this phone.
Any ideas? I know I can probably use touchdown but I would prefer the native app for contacts, calendar.
Thanks,

My wife got the E4GT on release date and had a problem with Exchange, also. She and the guy at Sprint tried for about 15 minutes to no avail. Finally, last night she started button-smashing and got it to work. Last night when she set up her Exchange account (school e-mail that uses Outlook Web Access) on her phone, she had to choose "Manual" then chose "Exchange", and it worked perfectly. She did have a problem with contacts from Outlook being listed several times and had to go through a whole 'nother ordeal to get them to merge with her Google contacts.
Hope this helps you!
Im all set too. My issue was my exchange server supports up to 10 mobile devices & I guess each time I setup a new rom, the server thought it was a new device. Anyway, I deleted some old devices & I am back in business.

I have a wierd issue - my corporate email is stuck getting emails upto a 1 week ago but not after that. SEndign email works fine
Anybody seen this? I even removed the entire account, rebooted, reset the account and it again downloads all email till a week ago and nothing after that
Thanks
What's your back end email server? I've been having various issues with corporate email. My company is using an old GroupWise system with some type of mailsync that allows us to connect using the Exchange protocol.
I've had issues where it works great, but doesn't download the amount of email I've asked it to sync (30days), but instead will download just a week, or two weeks. I've also had issues where it works great for a week or so, then starts chewing up battery life trying to sync constantly. Rebooting doesn't work. I have to reboot, remove account, reboot again, and re-add the account.
I initially thought it was our servers...

i always change it to ALL, as i had the same issue than you...
I have been a bberry user my whole life. With the writing seemingly on the wall for bberry, Note 2 seemed like the ideal device for me -- I quite like its size, I feel that helps mitigate the loss of the physical keyboard. But I primarily use Yahoo! email and I was in for a shock when I made the switch.
It appears that there is (i) no way to push Yahoo email to the basic mail app in Android and (ii) the new Android operating system sets the shortest sync time at an agonizing 15 minutes (compared to what I believe is 5 in prior versions). After many ring around the rosy calls, with some tech people saying "well the emails should still arrive on their own relatively quickly" it seems like it has now been confirmed that it only will sync every 15 minutes (sometimes not even that if device is idling), unless I force the sync. I want a smartphone that tells ME when I have mail, not the other way around.
I've downloaded the Yahoo mail app for Android, but it is kind of crap a BIG step down from being used to using email on a bberry.
Frankly, I am very, very strongly considering chucking this and going back to my Torch. While the Note probably does everything else a lot better than a year old bberry device, and their next model will probably still be way behind the Galaxies and iPhones, email is the most important thing in a phone to me and bberry seems to blow these devices out of the water.
Or I could switch my primary email -- but I've been happily using Yahoo! for nearly 15 years.
Anyone have thoughts/advice? Am I somehow wrong in the above? Are there better options? I was so looking forward to this new device, and now I'm mostly bitterly disappointed -- feeling I have to sacrifice the most important primary function for all the internet/camera/social media bells and whistles.
Thoughs/comments/advice appreciated. I've only ever had a bberry until yesterday (though I do have an iPad and Yahoo email works just fine there).
I had the quite similar problem before, i mean I didn't get my emails quickly on my Note 2, i wondered why. But then I realized that I have the same yahoo email account set up on my iPhone and on that iPhone my emails still arrived so very quickly. Then I deleted my yahoo mail account on the iPhone and changed it to other yahoo email account so that my primary yahoo email account is only set up on my Note 2, since then my emails arrived quickly on my Note 2 and no more problem.
Just wondering maybe you have not deleted yr yahoo account on yr bberry ?
I have been using the yahoo mail app for over two years. Its development has been slow but right now it's working fine for me.

If you want push then you need to set up the Yahoo account manually via the option Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync for the stock email app.
And yes, the Yahoo mail app for Android is crap indeed.

For many years in the early/mid 2000's Yahoo Mail was the only service that offered push to Blackberry. It was the defacto push offering in the marketplace.
I set mine up manually through the Active Sync settings and now its push. I struggled on and off for years with that Yahoo Mail app on my Hero/EVO/NexusS/GalaxyNexus and I gave up. Some updates would trash the app and it would be a quarter till they released a fix. I'd avoid it if I were you.
