Text messages are being delivered as emails in my work email account. I get them fine as regular texts but they are duplicated in email form.
How did this happen? Can I prevent it?
Thanks
it's because when you setup your exchange account you left everything as default and one of the sync options is SMS. go back into the email account settings and uncheck Sync SMS
Thank you. That did it

i upgraded my 8525 ok to windows mobile 6.0 for ATT. so thanks to all of you who made that possible. my questions is that when setting up me email accounts on "messaging" i went to set up my hotmail account and i seemed to be doing all right but my hotmail account never showed up in "messaging when done. I had turned off the little box that asked to show the live search on the today window.
so since the hotmail account did not show up in "messaging" i tried to set the email account up again and when going through the set up proccess "messaging" loads up windows explorer to windows live.
so how do i get messaging to let me download and view hotmail messages on messaging and not have to go the the web each time.
Thanks for your help. i think i made a stuped set up problem in messaging but i just c an not find a way to get it back to square one.

You can't!
I am not even sure with WM6 if you would be able to do so by beeing a paying subscriber to HOTMAIL service since LIVE is fully integrated in WM6.
Hotmail Can Be Sync With Messaging During Intial Mail Set Up. The Sync Box Needs To Be Checked. I Just Upgraded The Rom Again To Get Back To Set Up On Messaging To Have My Hotmail Email Show Up On Messaging With My Pop3 Account. So Solved It Myself. Thanks For Your Help.
I have added Gmail with IMAP support to my TP2 and can choose to download only mail from the last day, last 2 days, last 3 days, etc. But I'm looking for an option to download only the new messages. I'm afraid this isn't possible?
If I recall correctly, you can also choose 1 wk, 2 wks, and 1 month as the amount of emails you want to download to your device.
Anyway, if what you want is just new mail, you set up your email account as a POP3 account and go to Gmail and enable POP3 for only new messages.
Problem with POP is that messages I will read on my TP2 keep unreaded on gmail webmail.
Is IMAP unable to check if a message is read or unread?
You're right regarding POP3. That's why IMAP is better. Everytime you connect via IMAP, your inboxes on your device and Gmail will sync. Meaning all read messages on your device will be marked as read and new messages will be downloaded.
But there's no way to just download new messages. You have to specify a suitable time period for your device to look back on Gmail's server to sync.
Well if you set it to 3 days then after 3 days it will only download new messages.

Yes, but on day 4 there will be new messages which I have opened on gmail.com. I don't need those messages on my TP2, only the unreaded ones.

Yeah, I have used it to sync my Google Calendar but I'm looking for an easier way to receive only unreaded messages on my TP instead of visiting gmail.com on my TP2 (and mark as readed after reading them on my TP2).
Am I blind or does the People app not display contacts from Exchange/Corp email accounts? Even when trying to send an email via Email app(not Gmail) my contacts are missing.

Under the menu in the people app there is an accounts items. Make sure the account is selected.
Also make sure in your exchange setup you have selected to sync contacts
Can anyone help. I have had this problem for a while but never tried to fix it but now discovered it is not only on my GNex but also my Tab 2....
Basically i have email via virginmedia.com, which i believe is all set up correctly with POP enabled etc and my phone/Tab 2 email client set up to never delete from server. Problem is the email comes to the devices fine and i can reply, send new email etc, but if i refresh the list to check for any new email, what was already in my inbox just disappears from my device, not into the bin, just gone for good!
I have Android 4.2.1 on the GNex ans 4.1 on the Tab 2.
Remember this is the general email client and I am on Virgin Media, this is not the Gmail email app, I do not use that.
Can anyone help with this problem, would really like to be able to get my email on the move without knowing I will lose it all straight away!
Thanks
Have you tried setting it up with imap instead of pop3?

How do i do that?
The phone email settings or the email setting for the Virgin Media client on the web?
You probably need to enable it in the settings on the virgin web page, and then complete the setup on your phone.

IMAP has the advantage of being kept on the server, and "syncs" to your other mail clients. For example, with POP3 if you delete a message from the inbox on your phone it will still be on the server (Virgin), but with IMAP the email on the server is deleted as well.

so if both are enabled, why do messages disappear off my phone when i check for email again??
i want messages to remain on virgin servers in case i want to get the message on my computer also... and i want them to remain on my phone also
Hi, I'm trying to setup a new email account and think there may be a bug.
I'm trying to setup a gmail.com account but I want to set the smtp settings to use my pobox.com account so that I receive email through gmail and send through pobox.
I use the wizard which you are presented with when you choose New Account. I choose gmail which fills in the gmail pop settings for you but on the smtp screen I change to my pobox.com settings and continue through successfully.
The problem is when I go back into the smtp settings for that account, the username and password has defaulted back to that for the gmail account which obviously wont work on pobox.com!! When I try to send a mail, it is actually sent through the gmail account and not the pobox smtp even though the username and password have defaulted to the gmail settings but the smtp is what I originally left it at the pobox address
Is this a known bug? Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a fix?
Thanks
In which app you trying to add new account Gmail app or Mail app? If it's Mail app just fill your account details with gmail credentials and when account is added, edit outgoing settings. Also don't use the wizard, create it manually

I tried that unfortunately The trouble was that when I sent an email it looked as if it had been sent by the gmail account - the settings defaulted back to gmail. The settings will not save!!!
I am using mail app btw.
I have found seen other email clients which have identities so its a shame mail app does not have this feature.
I'm glad you find solution. Yes its real pity, mail app its good app
