Hi all. I am currently having sync issues with my hotmail on the stock mail app. Previously I had it setup on the actuall hotmail app available in the play store but have decided to go back to the stock app. Now, I set my account up, all setup is fine but when it syncs no emails show up.
I go into the settings and sync settings, it is all on push (even tested with manual on) and then hit sync and it says currently having issues and will be back up shortly. It's said this for the last 2 days. I checked the hotmail servers and they are running fine. Many people I know aren't having any issues.
I set up my email as pop3 and that worked fine but obviously no push. It was syncing perfectly when I was using the hotmail app.
I have a feeling something has gone wrong when I rooted the phone a couple weeks back because no one else seems to be having this issue, all other apps are syncing fine and it syncs fine with the hotmail app. When I first got the phone I was using the stock mail app and it was working fine that's the only reason I say something could've gone wrong in the root, I dunno.
Has anyone had this problem before or no of what this issue could be and how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Adam.

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!
David
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.

googlemail seems to have stopped working , im on a unlocked desire on 3uk
worked fine yesterday , ive sent test emails and it doesnt push ???
Are you using active sync? If so I had the same issue. mail would remain refreshing almost forever and the device would get really hot after a while. a few factory resets didn't resolve the problem either. I had to switch to using the google mail application (not HTC mail) and deleted my active sync account from the phone.
Push stopped working for me around midday. Its working again now though.
Alright, I used gmail, but I also have an old SBC Global account that I still keep up with on my phone through the mail program. When I initially set the account up on the phone, it will download all the email at that time, but through-out the day I am not receiving any new email. I know that I'm receiving email because when I get on my PC and check my email, I have tons waiting for me. I'm not sure why my phone isn't syncing them. I have hit the refresh button over and over and the little circle arrow turns and then stops with the time on the side like it checked for mail, but I'm not getting anything. Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks
Give us some more details, like what ROM you're using.
Can you send messages from the SBC account?
Does the SBC account use Yahoo? (Back when I had SBC, they did, and from what I know, Yahoo doesn't play well with anything except their own ad-laden website.)
saw this on a phone at the store...I cleared the email data from manage app settings, deleted acct and set up again using yahoo smtp and pop servers and everything went smoothly. saw him three weeks later and he was still up and running. hope that helps

I'm using myn 's warm Rom which has never given me trouble before. Upon initial setup everything will down load correctly, but when it syncs later I get nothing. I know that it uses an android.IMAP setting, maybe switching to pop3 is the only way. It's just weird that its all of a sudden now. Maybe yahoo changed stuff on theory end.

I can only sync TODAY'S MAILS.
The previous ones do not show up. I am sure I have the setting RIGHT.
Can anyone help me Thanx
Really? No one can help?
If I update to 2.50, will the problem be solved?
Hey, I'm also having some problems with Hotmail being setup as Exchange Activesync account.
I have found that it will not sync all emails, will not sync all folders and as soon as I delete an email it will automatically resync and re-download the deleted messages.

Hi,
I'm also finding this EXACT problem! It's definitely something to do with the HTC mail app if that is what you two are using?
I did read somewhere that it's caused by the way the app syncs mails - from what I could deduce it logs on each time (or possibly at random, I'm not 100% sure) and this is seen as a threat by the Hotmail EAS system which then temporarily locks access to your account using Activesync!
I tested this theory by creating a new account, and configuring Improved Email (free on Market, by "mtwebster") and the account sync'd all day long. I then left my normal account for 24hrs, still locked, with Imp. Mail reporting "Connection Error". Tried again another 24hrs later using the non-HTC app and it sync'd fine too!
I then discovered the mic was busted and had to pick up a swap today...same issue with my Hotmail now, using the HTC Mail app!
My work EAS account sync's all day long without kicking up ANY fuss whatsoever!
Hotfail rides again...
Hope this helps,
Karl
