Touchwiz email using pop yahoo - reads on server when downloaded to phone - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

The touchwiz email app when it checks for and downloads emails to my phone they are shown as read when I log into mail.yahoo.com on my laptop. I can't find any setting to change this. NB I haven't even read them on the phone either (and this is shown correctly as unread on the phone) but they show up as read on the main server anyway. Any ideas how to fix this?

Nobody? Come on this should be an easy one for you guys. Someone please help?

Its gotta be the app itself doing it.. Have you tried K-9 Mail or something different to see if the problem persists? I don't see any settings in the stock email app that could fix this problem..

problem with email in tf3d...please help!!!

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).

pop3 email attachments

unable to dl attachments from my yahoo account via the mail app, it says attachement missing would you like to download, i say yes the timer spins a bit then puts an ! on the icon, if i click it again it says same thing attachment missing i tried on wifi and 3g anyone know what the prob is ??
Hi, sorry to jump on your bandwagon but I have a similar problem.
Have one pop3 account and a hotmail account configured and when I go to download the whole message, including attachments, I can't see or save any attachments. Just get a white mail with not much else apart from the text.
Is there a tick in a box Ive missed?
Cheers
Another bandwagon jumper here...
I find I can receive certain kinds of attachments. PDFs are no problem, but I receive daily reports compressed as tar.gz files and mail offers to download them but doesn't - just as you described above.
Does anyone else see this?

[Q] POP Email and phone

Just trying to understand how this works...
For some reason, when I download my email on Outlook which is supposed to be a full download from the servers (therefore, not readable anymore from devices), it doesn't remove those emails from my phone the way it used to in the past. So I have to delete them from my phone as well. What setting do I have wrong here? I can delete from the server on my phone, but it doesn't automatically delete them when I check them on Outlook.
Am I making sense??
Thanks.

Sounds like you need IMAP. POP3 simply downloads and deletes from the server, it doesn't do anything to sync across devices. IMAP syncs, rather than downloads, so it should always appear the same on all devices.

Hmm... I don't think I'm communicating properly. Let me try again.
Here's what I used to be able to do... with POP3
1. Get email while I'm out
2. Check, read email on my phone
3. Get home, check Outlook, emails downloaded
4. Emails automatically removed from phone
Can't seem to do that anymore, and I'm wondering what I may have switched in my settings. Could it have something to do with my POP or SMTP settings?
Thanks

Hmm. I have never known POP to be able to delete files from other devices after you delete them from one place. I don't actually use email on my phone other than the gmail app, so I have never had to use those settings, so unless someone else can give a better answer I would just fiddle with the settings on your phone, outlook, and web server to see if you can find an option to synchronize deletions or something rather.

Email selection

Hello,
would you kindly tell me how I can do a "Select All" email on my DZ?
I have downloaded 200+ emails from my server, they all appear as unread emails. I can select one at a time to mark as read, however, it is too labour intensive to tick-select all of them one by one.
Is there an application I can install for this?
Thanks for your help.
For gmail I know the only real way to do it is to do the Check > Menu > Mark Read.
But its weird, have you checked your email on your PC? I was having an issue when I would sync my phone to my email client and it would say that there were unread messages, and then when searching on the PC I found them. Once they were found, I marked them as read, the phone would resync and then the emails were gone.

I am afraid re-syncing does not change the unread emails to read status on phone.
I hope this can be found out.
I have found a temporary measure in that it is not part of the messaging application from HTC or Android.

I hope others, who like me needed a solution will find this helpful.

[Q] Can someone help me with my email please?

I have an issue with my email which is whenever I open any email on my HD Desire it disappears from the server and I cannot open it from my laptop. To give you some information, this is company email and it is IMAP form. I tried K9 and MailDroid applications both of them the same issue. Also the original mail application does the same. Can someone help me to resolve this annoying problem?
have you checked settings? something like "server read" or "local read"...theres normally an option where you can choose wheter the mail will be deleted on server after read or just locally on the phone
There is no such settings in the mail applications in the phone
i can't remember where it is either but merell1988 is right. i remember seeing an option that allows you to leave a copy of the email on the server or delete.
flupo, which rom are you using? i'm pretty sure that i saw this option with the stock rom (i don't see it with cm7).

I'm using stock ROM. I need to know an application that helps me to keep my emails in the server.
