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 have recently begun using K-9 for managing my e-mails in four accounts: three Gmail accounts and one exchange account. I have noticed invariably that the e-mails do not get retrieved in K-9 after a reboot of my phone. I have to manually "check mail" in K-9 after a reboot, and then onward, K-9 retrieves e-mails from the Gmail accounts - e-mails are not pulled from the exchange account even after this.
To pull e-mails in the exchange account, I had to click on "Load more messages," which triggered a sync with the exchange server, and THEN, I received e-mails in that account. I missed e-mails from three days on my phone (I am on a vacation). I have all the settings in place for syncing all the accounts. Could someone suggest a solution to this issue?
I wanted to mention that I had changed the setting for the exchange account to poll the folders every hour, instead of every minute. Is there no one who has come across the issue mentioned in my previous post?
Something I noticed...I set my gmail to sync hourly but it does not do that at all. Both my hotmail accounts will sync hourly but whenever I go to my gmail app, the longest time before another sync was like 22 mins. I emailed myself something through gmail once and although my sync settings were still set at hourly, I got the email 10 minutes later. Idk what's going on with that. I just now put it on manually because I'm pretty sure its turning on my 3G more times than it should.

gmail app?
Anyhow, I have my gmail sync every 15min and think it's pretty accurate...
I actually have several gmail accounts and they sync at various times with my main personal account syncing every 15min... And it all seems fine...

He probably means the Gmail email app you get once you configure a Gmail account on your WP7.
slightly different problem with gmail sync
Hey everybody,
I'm wondering if anybody else is having the same problem as me at the moment ?
I've had the phone a few months now. I experienced a few issues with Hotmail and returned to using Gmail. It used to sync and push emails flawlessly, however it seems to have stopped working which is driving me mad.
When I wake up, i'm used to seeing new messages waiting for me (mainly XDA forum news). However, the push functionality has stopped working. I open my inbox, and see a message indicating email is up to date. However, no new messages are displayed. When pushing the sync button, the inbox is synced and the new messages are displayed, despite the settings set for "as items arrive". Highly annoying and not very productive to have to check for messages manually.
I played around with the settings trying various options, I even deleted the account and started over again (which was a pain re linking contacts etc, all to no avail.
Can anybody help me to restore my push email please ? I'm getting really cheesed off now.
Thanks
Garrickus.
Could it be possible that your phone had synced with G-mail 50 minutes before you sent yourself an email, and then you received it 10 minutes later, after the scheduled hour?

go to email account settings and check if it is showing any errors. happened to me once. I re-entered my username passoword and the error went away. Perhaps this is due to Google getting very picky these days as many gmail accounts are getting hacked.
Why not just leave it in 'push' mode? Unless you have a lot of emails every hour, push email uses less data than polling. Gmail's exchange activesync isn't exactly rock solid. Back in WM 6.xx days, I have to reset my account every few weeks.
I have stock rom and two exchange email accounts from two different servers. One of the accounts has a bug that I can duplicate consistently. Every time I reply to an email the original email only has about four line of text in it. All of the text was there when I received the email but it is missing when I reopen the email. Also on this account I have either a little green or blue arrow on emails in my email inbox which indicate that I replied to or forwarded an email.
I have seen others indicate a bug that they are not receiving the entire email but that's not my problem until after I reply.
This is a major issue for me since I rely on the phone for work. Does anyone have an idea ?
I think the bug exists because of two exchange accounts. I have to do more testing ...
Any one of you have two exchange accounts on the S3
Hello, I have a question regarding syncing my calendar events with notifications in my email. I have tried clicking all the buttons in my settings re mail accounts and there is only sporadic notifications. Usually not! I want to sync 24 hr notices to my isp mail account rather than my Google Mail account. I can't sync to either right now. I know it is possible, because, occasionally right out of the blue I will get one......strange. If I put in test events, none come through. I have no problem with doing this with my Asus tablet. Would anyone have any suggestions? Thank you for any help. BILL
Gee---I can't believe this question has been here this long, with this many people viewing it, and no one has thoughts, or solutions. Must be time to try another forum.
