Hey everyone,
I've installed the r6 Sense Modaco ROM and my 2d and 3d GMail accounts don't automatically sync...
Is it an issue due to the original ROM leaked from HTC or not ?
Is there a way to get back the auto-sync ??
Thanks !

its a bug, it works for some, not for others. I've had it working and not working on different roms, so its not device specific. Quick solution is to get k9 mail off the market and use that for your push accounts.
Hum ok. But is there a way to know which rom has this issue?
Is it specific to a rom, a device or something else?

I have this problem too, but it seem work just fine 2 or 3 days after flashing.
I found this problem in every sense ROM installed, I was wondering it caused the new version of gmail.. IMHO..
The second gmail account is given the choice to push emails after a few hours, just keep checking back under accounts & sync.

OK. I've installed k9mail for now as I don't like the HTC Mail App.
But I didn't understand, is the system goin to ask me if I wanna activate push on my Gmail accounts ? Is that simple ? Just wait ?
I don't really understand what causes that bug if it's going to reactivate itself...
If anyone understand if this bug in specific to HTC ? To FroYo ? Is it a config file miswritten ?
No one ? Because I have a personnal and a professional Gmail account...

Mine also startd working 3 days after i flashed the rom
You can force this by opening GMail-app, selecting your account, pressing menu and choosing the sync-button. After a few seconds your inbox will show up.
If you THEN go to the main menu under accounts & sync you can check mail-sync immediately.
But this does not solve the problem that your additional GMail account(s) won't get synced. It works for some time after a fresh install, but then suddenly it will stop working. Don't know why... This only seems to happen on Sense Froyo-ROMs.
EDIT: I just realized: If you go under accounts & sync in the main menu and select "sync all" button, then you start to receive notifications for your additional accounts again. At least it worked for me, let's see for how long
I have the same problem after installing the OFFICIAL FroYo update on the HTC Desire. The sync sync settings are there, but it just ignores the setting for all but the first account.
Same here, issue with official FroYo release. Second account won't push. It did at first but now nothing is coming in unless i sync manually.
The account that doesnt pusg is corporate gmail not sure if that's related though.
Really hoping somebody knows a fix because i prefer to roll back to 2.1 rather than not having push mail available
Oddly my other Gmail accounts are now syncing normally. Push mail is active too.
I didn't do anything for that... Strange !
I have the same problem, i install it yesterday, i havec 4 account, and just one push...
Thought that worked, and it did for a single message, but doesn't stick.
I'm also having the same problem since my Desire updated to Froyo last Sunday.
Out of 5 accounts only the first one does push email now. Doesn't seem to be related to the type of account since the 4 that don't push are a mix of normal gmail and corporate Google app accounts.
Would it help to compare our version numbers? My build says 2.09.405.8
Hope they solve it soon...
On the Google help site there is now the following posts:
Hi folks,
Thanks for your reports. We're right now looking into a general issue affecting the ability of additional accounts to auto-sync on some HTC devices with the latest version of the Android firmware.
To summarize what you've been reporting, this means if you have a device such as the HTC EVO 4G or HTC Desire, and you've recently updated your firmware to version 2.2, then auto-sync may only work for one account on your device -- the 'primary' account -- and not for any subsequent accounts you may have added to your phone.
In the meantime, you can still use Gmail on these devices with your additional account(s), but you'll have to manually check for new mail (Press <Menu>, then select Refresh).
We're in touch with HTC on this issue, and I'll be sure to update this post when I have news to share.
Regards,
Ethan

I have a temporary workaround for those who might be experiencing this issue on the devices I mentioned in my earlier post.
To get sync working again for the additional account(s), try following these steps:
1. Press < Menu > on your device.
2. Select Settings.
3. Select Accounts & sync.
4. Select the affected account.
5. Tap the 'Sync Now' button at the bottom of the screen.
Repeat these steps for other affected accounts.
We continue to look into this issue and I'll be posting here with any updates.

So I guess that we now sit and wait however my 2nd Gmail account does sync on it's own every now and then so I have to question if the problem may be at least partly on the Gmail platform.
Hmm
Is there any news in this case? Can't get my Desire to sync my 2. and 3. gmail account...
Will it work with a custom rom?
In the custom roms, some of them writes they have a new version Gmail 2.2.1 i think... Will this custom rom have fixed the push problem for the second and third gmail account?
Nope. I have Fresh rom on my EVO, it has the newest gmail. no change.

Wanted to check if anyone is having problems with the stock HTC MAIL APP after Froyo OTA Update.
I use my Desire for work emailing and usually download my emails to both my Desire and notebook. I'm aware of the previous bug in 2.1 where emails get deleted of the mail server if they are deleted from the phone.
After the OTA update, I am still able to download emails to both my Desire and notebook, but if I "refresh / check for new mail" HTC Mail deletes all previously downloaded emails in my inbox.
I tried K-9 Mail and the same thing happens!
Is there a setting that I'm missing? Appreciate any help!
I was having the same issue,but have resolved it by changing my account settings from POP3 to IMAP.
Hope this helps...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Thanks, but changing to IMAP (server port 143) didn't help.
Same thing happens. Any other suggestions?
Called the Australian arm of HTC Customer Service and surprisingly got a call back in about an hour. They did some "tests" and now acknowledge the problem and promised to call me back in a few days with a solution. Fingers crossed!
Will post results if successful for others with this problem.
Mail missing
Hi
Having the same problem and changing to IMAP did not help.
This is wery iritating.
omb
Someone from another thread suggested a workaround by setting your native client (outlook) to NOT delete emails from the mail server after it has been downloaded.
This wont' work for me as I have size restrictions on my account.
I've just been forwarding the 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.
smpt change smtp
"smpt change smtp"
I'm not sure what you mean, could you please elaborate! Thanks.
Any fix on this yet...driving me crazy.
This sucks, I even flashed a rom from Modaco that's totally stock except it has root, did a wipe before and still have the same thing.

After the Froyo update my HTC Mail app can't connnect to my google e-mail, using IMAP. I can still use my dedicated Gmail app for this, it's only the HTC mail app that will not connect.
Spoke with HTC Customer Service earlier, supposedly they're working on a patch to get the mail app working properly. Unfortunately, no indication of when!
I posted this in another thread:
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.
Hmmm...this must not be a very common problem at all. I seached a ton of threads and can't fine any complaints about this. Why the hell is this happening only two a few of us i have no clue???
Wiped data/cache before both rom installs.
Just wiped data/cache/ext and re-installed the third different (1 bone stock rom, 1 stock with ap2sd, one cyanogen fully custom) custom rom. Same problem as before. I've not given up and will hope for a fix in the next update from HTC or a patch.
I've done the same. Tried a few different ROMs and all have the same issue of deleting my INBOX.
I've reverted back to 2.1, pity as I was getting used to 2.2. Can't work without properly functioning mail app.
Will post a solution if and when it is finally available.

Hi, just had OTA software update to 2.12.110.4 and seems to have solved the problem................ finally
Thanks, do u have a link by chance?
I just got the DHD and am pretty stoked it has Exchange ActiveSync. My problem is that it seems to be very unstable and give "connection socket timeout" and is totally unreliable.
I've added and deleted the account twice and it starts out nicely with the Sync. Now my contacts are at 90% and keeps getting this friggin' error!..
I used HD, HD2 previously and never had these exchange sync issues.
Anyone else having these probs with Exchange ActiveSync on DHD?
Yep. Same for me.
I am trying so sync for a month now with no real success
I have tried several workarounds and third party apps (ImproveEmail, Roadsync) but none of them worked well.
I am now back to stock HTC client.
Now emails sync well but calendar is a disaster!
Calendar used to sync 10% of my appointments and was showing SSL error.
Now since I, one more time, deleted account-purged calendar-recreated my account, calendar is not syncing at all (SSL error).
And Logcat is not very helpful.
I spent days on net trying to find fixes or workarounds; many people are complaining, and there is no 'true' fix.
That pisses me off when I see that Windows mobile phone or IPhone can sync with no problem !!!
I too have the same Problem.
Am using touchdown now and its working fine...running on the trial and need to purchase it
Same as you, I had lot of sync problems with Exchange. It was completely unreliable, until I discovered Laurie's blog !
http://laur.ie/blog/2010/09/exchange-2010-sp1-sync-with-android-froyo/
I installed the Google stock 2.2 email apk (as described in the blog) and after few minutes my calendar was fully synchronized and I receive emails in push. That's great
I am not sure that would solve your issue but it is worth trying it.
(make sure to delete the HTC exchange account).
Hope this helps.
I have tried so many different things. It seems that using Moxier Mail is the only thing that seems to work. I've been going back to all the message board posts that I came across to share my solution. I hope it works for you.
Glad I'm not the only one with this problem. I find that turning the phone off for 10 minutes and then on again fixes the problem for a while, but it always comes back.
anyone found a solution to tthis yet?
I`ve tried the solution from lauries blog and it worked.
The only thing i' ve changed is that i backed up the whole rom, installed the apk and imediatly opened it.
The program isn' t as handy as the new one but atm it works.
I can confirm that the 2.2 google stock mail APK is working for me too. (solution described above)
I have 4 hotmail accounts and no pb to synchronize them (with push settings). Calendar and Contacts are OK too.
I give you the APK below. You can install it without root like any other APK.
You'll be able to uninstall it also, as the app name isn't the same as the htc mail client.
Hi,
I have been searching around and can't find the answer I'm looking for.
Can someone advise if they have managed to sync their hotmail.co.uk to their HOX (or any other Android device) specifically using the MS Hotmail mail option (which defaults to server m.hotmail.com) or via the exchange option??
Hotmail.com addresses sync ok, just can't get my UK address to work. Just to add the hotmail.co.uk mail account is succesfully added however no mails are synced. Looking at the account under sync options the sync icon is red and at the bottom there is an error which highlights something like 'experiencing difficulties at this time - please try again later'. This error appears to be constant.
I know syncing hotmail.co.uk addresses is possible via the 'other' mail account option (which defaults to POP3 settings) and also alternatively by using the MS Hotmail app but would prefer the above - just would like to know if it's possible or not.
Thanks in advance,
GW
It just start happening yesterday so its not anything to worry about yet, I have the same problem.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
UPDATE - I've just stumbled across something on Microsoft Answers where one user suggests to configure the account manuallly which you can only do through the exchange option (when you select the MS Hotmail option, various fields including the server name are greyed out).
Advises to use prefixes snt-m, dub-m, bay-m or debug-m in front of .hotmail.com in the server however unfortunately none of these work for me.

There are on-going problems it seems, mine periodically stopped sycning several weeks ago, would be okay for a bit, then eventually never sync'd at all. Microsoft don't seem to be bothered helping people fix this.
I then started using debug-m.hotmail.com and that got it working, then seeing the same advice others have mentioned I used the letter prefix I see when I log into Hotmail on a PC browser, and it has been working since.
There also seems to be another issue related to individual accounts that can only be fixed by Microsoft, so I'm thinking there are two issues.
Try logging into Hotmail on a PC and going into your calendar, a few weeks ago I was offered to upgrade to a new calendar, I think this has the effect of moving your account to a new server, which might help kick start everything again.
All in all though it is a mess from Microsoft.

Hi Phil,
Thanks for the reply.
Can you just confirm that you actually got it working (previously) with a hotmail UK address with debug-m.hotmail.com as the server? If so I assume you setup a manual MS exchange account under the mail account options to do this?
Just loaded up MSN calendar on desktop but there was no option to upgrade or anything :-s.
I've raised a question on MS answers site, hoping someone from MS will look at it and check out my account to see if they can do anything. Other than that I guess it's just a waiting game or switch to POP3!
GW
Anyone experiencing issues with hotmail UK email addresses?
Hotmail.co.uk addresses still not working with the m.hotmail.com server - anybody got this working or has an alternative solution, except using POP3 or forwarding?

Worse, I stupidly deleted my hotmail.com account on phone trying to sync with the new outlook account.

I switched to the Outlook.com site, but I've left my address as @hotmail.com so no issues for me (other than the website not working in Chrome).
Hi
I switched as well before I knew what I was doing
I could get Exchange Active Sync working again by removing it and adding back using my new outlook.com email address.
The instructions are to use m.outlook.com, this connects but fails to validate credentials, perhaps it takes a while to move over. Using m.hotmail.com authenticates okay but sync'ing doesn't work, the same problem a lot of us have had for a couple of months. Using snt-m.hotmail.com and it is syncing again.
Interestingly using the emulator running 4.0.4, then m.hotmail.com works fine from there, so pointing to the issue that the HTC One X Exchange app isn't working with the redirect correctly, hence needing to short circuit in my case to snt-m.hotmail.com. Using m.outlook.com doesn't work from the emulator either, fails with invalid username/password.
Regards
Phil
Hi, I tried the snt-m.hotmail.com but I still can't get mine to sync too! Always gives me an error in syncing (the red sync icon). When I tried to connect my hotmail on my bro's android 2.3 HTC Rhyme.. Everything works!
Do you guys have other ways to solve this problem?
