Mail client doesn't poll server - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I noticed a couple of months ago that sometimes the default S3 mail client didn't always check for mail every 30 minutes (my preferred setting). But if I opened client it would download whatever was there. This increased in frequency until it rarely checked mail. Having just updated to LH9, I was hoping this issue would be fixed, but it's not...so...what might the issue be? I've checked all the settings and see nothing wrong. I srill have to open client to check mail now.
I'm logging onto normal mail server that uses by domain, not Exchange.
Not found another mail client I particularly like, so fixing this one would be preferable. Any suggestions?

I didn't like the stock mail client. Try K9 Mail client.

IMAP Issues

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!

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.

Desire HD Mail application

Hi everyone, lately after the OTA update of my Desire HD with Android 2.3.5 ( 3.13.707.4 ) i experience strange problems with the Mail application. The mail applications was setup before and now with my gmail accound, using ActiveSync. Before the update my mail was pushed well to say so, every time i received an email in seconds was on the phone.
Now, the settings in the Mail app are the same, push mail, but when i receive an email, even i see that the Mail client is syncing the mail will not appear, after several manual refresh the mail appears.
Another strange thing, during the day i don't receive the mail as was supposed to, although the mail is setup to push mail. If a let the phone alone and i do not check the mails manual, after 2-3 hours the client suddenly sync all the emails..
Dose anyone experience this problem?
P.S. i setup the Gmail program on my HTC and this is working well but i don't really like the program, i want to use Mail.
Thank you for being patient to read this...long post
Same Problem On DHD 3.12.405.8
Hy there,
it's been a while, since 3.0 Sense (1st Gingerbread update); even custom roms for our device or from other porting have this issue. I have stock www3.12.405.1
Now it seems to me i found a way out. Go to your google account on the web, and make sure pop3 is disabled in account settings.
Let me know if it works.
Bye.

Hello, ok now i disable the POP access from Gmail settings, today i will test to see if the mail behavior is ok and i will post the results.
Till now, after i disable tht POP access i test by sending an e'mail from another account and still no luck, the mail didn't come on my DHD, i will wait more and see if other mail are pushed on the device.
Thaks
This strange problem happened with me both in Gmail and Yahoo. I finally figured out the solution. Go to the account settings and manually change the settings. You will find that the mail application has added "htc" in the incoming server settings. Just delete "htc" and you will be good to go.
SO incoming settings for Gmail should be:
imap.gmail.com
NOT
htc.imap.gmail.com
This also applies to Yahoo mail if you use it, just remove "htc" from the server address.
Ok, but imap.google.com is for IMAP, i use exchange settings and in Mail application m.google.com
Ok, till now no change in the Mail behavior, still syncs whenever it wants apparently.
In Gmail settings POP3 is OFF and IMAP ON
Any one, any idea?

I have the same issue. After coming out of airplane mode If I manually refresh for new mail across several exchange and pop accounts including GMAIL. It seems as if nothing happens for ages before it completes. However if you start the refresh, immediately cancel it and refresh again it works as it should...
Thanks! I will try this today and post the results

ActiveSync is not pop or imap... it's exchange.
Do not configure anything in your mail app or gmail app.
Go in Configuration->Account and sync->Add account.
Choose 'Enterprise' and fill this info of Exchange mail.
For ex:
\[email protected]
password
server=m.google.com
tic 'SSL'
then follow instruction, you're done (and leave auto/push for frequency)
All your mail will be in the default mail app.
those are exact my settings, today i delete the account and create another one, thinking that my be a problem because the account was created previously the OTA update.
THE PROBLEM...is annoying!!! In the first hours the mail came as it supposed to ( push mail ), around 2PM, after several hours of good time ( no relations, just as a fact ) the mail was, again, syncing but no mail.....that was strange, i click and open the Mail app, refresh manualy, no new mail......i check the gmail account on my computer and were several mails in the inbox. After that i click refresh in the Mail app and still nothing, i click the button for 3-4 times and the mails appears. WHY???
i wand my nokia 3310 back (
kidding....
hum... then I can't understand.
I have no idea if it's on your phone side or server side.
You have to compare... but not easy.
You have to find a way to isolate phone and server. If you have another phone, configure it to check. If you have the same effect with more than one device maybe it's on server side. You can also try to flash another ROM. I'm with ICS and it's working smoothly (4 exchange account and 1 IMAP).
Sorry to not be able to help more, never encounter this problem.
For me it's pushed with exchange, so the sending is manage by the server.
Make sure also that you're still connected to a network. Try browsing Internet.
Just ideas... good tricky question...
Thanks!
I tested out a few days ago, i configured the Gmail app from my HTC to sync the e-mails.....at the same time, the Mail app was configured as today. Surprise! when an e-mail arrived ( pushed ) in Gmail app arrived in Mail app as well
I thought that the problem was resolved and i disable the sync for the Gmail app leaving just the Maill to sync.....then you now all.....the mail arrives when my phone wants to )
Still an interesting thread
today i decided to do a factory defaults.....i erased everything and the SD too.
still the same problem, for the first mails arrived was ok...were pushed. after 15-20 min. the rest of the incoming mails no push, only after i have to do a manual refresh for 3-4 times
i will eat this phone!
Does this problem happen to you on Wifi and 3G? If it only happens on 3G then I think your network provider uses server caching. I have the same problem with my network and Whatsapp.
I tried both, 3g and wi fi....the same

Ok....i think i have the answer for this incredible behavior of this Mail app
Yesterday i was talking with a friend about this strange behavior and we start doing some random tests with different settings in the Mail app till we discover this:
The default settings of peak time start was 08:00 and peak time end 20:00
We change this to: peak time start 07:00 peak time end 6:59
now it's working well....i think it's a bug here because i use the peak time till the OTA update with this settings:
peak start 07:00 peak end 22:00 and i had no problem.
Thank you for your answers all !!!!
i think we can close this thread
Glad you figured it out
Now it's weekend....and my mail starts again.....my mails are pushed when the Maill app wants. Hope it's just for weekend.....

Email in the phone

Guys
I am using an Android phone. I have the stock email program and I have also K9 and Enhanced Email all running at the same time.
I have an Gmail account but don't use it for email or for nothing really dont trust the cloud/google.
My problem is all the email apps work great BUT when I open outlook then they all get removed form my phone. So basically the only emails I am left with are the send ones(in my phone). This happens with my POP and exchange accounts.
My question:
1) is there a Mail App that will make a copy of the email in my phone so when I open outlook they wont get sync and disappear?
2) If number 1 is no then is there a easy way to full your phone to keep the emails.
Thank you

A properly configured Exchange server usually doesn't allow the local device to retain the message data, it's all accessed real-time from the server. Its possible you have what I call a Half-Ass Exchange, which means you have a central address directory, but the IT department set up Outlook and Exchange to store messages locally on the PC rather than on the server. This would lead to what you are experiencing... Outlook takes all the messages off the server, leaving your phone with nothing to see when it connects. There's not a whole lot you can do about that unless your IT guys will move your email data to the Exchange server. Or maybe they have an IMAP access option. (See below)
With pop3 accounts... You have a similar problem, except there is no way to for two different devices to access the same data. The closest you can get would be to configure both devices to leave messages on the server after downloading them. Any emailed replies then can only be accessed from the device from which you sent them.
If you have the option, switch your pop3 accounts to IMAP. All user data is kept on a server (just like GMail), and any device that is connected to that account automatically syncs with the server, including access to deleted messages and sent messages sent from any other device.
All that being said... The stock email program kinda sucks. I would stick with the 3rd party apps like K9.
This is a new issue to me. I came from a PRE WEBOS and i did not have that problem. I believe the problem is in the way ANDROID OS handles emails. Basically all its changed is the device all else remained constant. I believe but not sure that if i was run all my mail thru gmail this will not be an issue. Its that true?
Thanks

I access my pop3 mail just fine using K9 (again, I don't like the stock email program). Downloaded messages remain on my phone after they've been downloaded by my Thunderbird installation on my PC.
My current company doesn't have an Exchange server, so I can't speak to that with direct knowledge... My lat experience with Exchange was about two years ago, so its behavior could certainly have changed! My current company has 10 locations, and they are content to use a 3rd party pop3 solution for email. As an IT man, that annoys me, but then, I don't write the checks!
If you haven't changed any settings in your Outlook, then I would look closer to your settings in the email programs. K9 specifically has a setting that you need to check in order to download the messages to your phone (as opposed to just reading them off the server). I don't remember if it came checked by default...
Check to see if your phone email programs are set to actually download entire messages from the server, or just the message headers. In K9, there is a specific setting under account

[Q] K-9 Mail and GoDaddy IMAP Servers

I know this probably applies to a very narrow audience to begin with, but is anyone else having issues getting emails pushed to their phone/K9 Mail from GoDaddy hosted imap accounts? I've used K9 for my work email account for over a year now and never had any issues, emails would get pushed to my phone almost immediately after being received on our GoDaddy hosted imap account. However, about a week or so ago, I noticed that I would get Outlook desktop notifications well before I would get the same email pushed to my phone. After observing this behavior for the past week and testing a few things out, I've narrowed it down to either the way K9 Mail interacts with GoDaddy's mail servers, or GoDaddy's mail servers themselves.
On my phone, I set up two imap accounts in K9, one a gmail imap account and the other my work imap account (hosted by GoDaddy). I sent a single email addressed to both the gmail account and the work account and every single time I did this test, the email would be pushed to the gmail account almost immediately, whereas it would take at least 15 minutes for the same email to be pushed to my work account. This happens on both wifi and 3G/4G, which rules out network configurations as being the root cause of the problem.
As much as I would like a solution to this problem, I'm more curious as to whether anyone else has noticed this problem, and if so, they can perform the same test described above to see if they get the same result.

I had the same problem and had to upgrade my app. Made by the same people who made k9, there's an app called kaiten. That worked like a champ. Hope that helps! I had to switch for my email coming from my graphic design business.
Thanks for the reply. I've tried out several apps that include push support, including Kaiten, with the same results. The problem is either with K9 and the way it works with GoDaddy's email servers, or GoDaddy itself. I'm sure there's 0 chance of finding out which one since both can just blame it on the other.
Solution
Just wanted to follow up and not leave this thread hanging in case someone else runs into this issue, but the problem has been pinpointed and resolved. It turns out that when when you set the incoming server to imap.secureserver.net for GoDaddy-hosted email accounts, there are a total of four physical mail servers available and you are randomly assigned to one of them for access when you establish your imap connection. Two of the servers support imap idle ("push" email) and two do not, which is why sometimes push email works and other times it does not. It depends one which server you end up at when establishing the connection. To remedy this problem, instead of setting the incoming server to imap.secureserver.net, which will land you at one of the four GoDaddy mail servers, enter one of the two mail server IPs that DO support imap idle: 72.167.82.19 and 97.74.135.193
One thing to keep in mind is that on the off chance that the IPs for GoDaddy email servers change, you will obviously not be able to establish a connection and will need to reconfigure your email settings with the correct server address.

Thank you for this as i have been searching high and low for a solution
so my company is hosting on godaddy and i got an email account with them i need for business, can you confirm this is still working? I will make the changes in my settings now and check to see if it works, what are your other settings?
I dont want to set my phone to check at set intervals every 1 minute is too much but what i need (ie push) but even every 15 minutes is too burdensome.
Would you mine running me through the settings for your phone?
btw im using the full paid version of aqua mail just recently and if there is a better app i can just refund this one and get another that will work. thanks
---UPDATE---
I tried editing my settings the first IP 72.167.82.19 would not take saying something about an incoming server error, the second one (97.74.135.193) did work but I am not receiving my emails until the 15 minute interval, Has anyone found a solution to this yet? or switching email providers is only way?
I've been using the 97.74.135.193 address for a nice long while now so I can't comment on whether or not the 72.167.82.19 is working still. It's possible GoDaddy has changed that mail server's address. After having used this "solution" for almost a year now, I can say that it works most of the time as far as pushing emails immediately to my phone as soon as they hit the mail server. What I've noticed is that when I'm on 3G, it will work as it should all the time, but sometimes when I get back to work and connect to the office wifi, my emails will only arrive at the set polling intervals.
My settings are as follows:
Incoming Mail
Username: user@domain.com
Pass: ************

Thank you for this, I am on my way off the work so ill have to check the actual settings again at lunch but so far with the same server, im not getting push, still taking 15 or 30 minutes to receive even though i have check intervals at 15 minutes.
Should i be talking to aqua mail or godaddy or both?
this is boggling my mind.
I hear ya, it sucks and it's frustrating. Like I mentioned before, I'm using the 97.74.135.193 address right now at work and I can tell my emails are being pushed correctly because I'm receiving them within a minute of the "sent" time stamp and well before the email is picked up on Outlook on my desktop.
I haven't used aqua mail before, so I couldn't tell you how to get in touch with some support staff. I can tell you it was a hassle to get in touch with the K-9 devs and ended up taking a month or two and multiple emails before I got a response. Best of luck trying to get an answer from GoDaddy. I tried calling support with zero luck and started making some noise in the forums about it (http://support.godaddy.com/groups/email/forum/topic/imap-email-not-being-pushed-to-phones/) with no luck. Ultimately, GoDaddy says they don't support IMAP Push/Idle function, even though it had worked consistently for about a year and now only works intermittently. Let me know if you have further success or find something new that works.

so you are using the paid version of the K-9 email app correct?
I will give that a try because aquamail is not working like that, i am receiving emails when my app checks in 15 minute intervals, but i dont want the phone to keep checking like that
UPDATE**************
EVeryone use Kaiten, i wasted money on Aquamail, doesnt work properly, Kaiten just pushed, will try again and report throughout next couple days, but first email pushed right away!
I am so happy, thank you AwkwardBarnacle for all your help!
I'm currently using the free version of K-9 Mail (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fsck.k9&hl=en), which is without a doubt the best mail app I've come across. I've used several different hosts on this app and the only one that doesn't always push mail as it should is GoDaddy. I would definitely recommend trying it out. The link up there is for the marketplace app, but you can download the newest updates from the developers' page: https://code.google.com/p/k9mail/downloads/list
I'm currently using 4.508 and it's totally stable. Haven't run across any problems yet.

Interesting, for me, both k-9 and aquamail did not work for godaddy push email, but kaiten seems to be working "eventhough godaddy doesnt support" I dont know what is right anymore, but all i know is i press the button on my computer and send a test email from my gmail account and i hear my phone beep before i lift my phone off my mouse (well within 2-4 seconds.) Aquamail and k-9 were not able to do it. maybe i wasnt getting the settings right for k-9, but i definitely didnt have to do anything with kaiten, worked immediately. Plus the UI for kaiten is much cleaner than K-9 and aquamail is just awful and hard to read.
**UPDATE***
k-9 does work with the server as awkwardbarnacle suggested, it was not working before when i was using the imap.secureserver.net that is listed in godaddy support and what they recommend over the phone.
aquamail is confirmed to NOT work however, even with the new server configuration. so its up to user preference. between kaiten and k-9, both work.

[Q] POP3 email sending issue

Tried searching but could not find anything useful.
I've set up my POP3 email many times on all of my HTC phones. Today i got myself the Note 2 and did my usual email set up but am having issues trying to send emails out. It just keep failing. Anybody else came across this issue?
What other email app would you recommend similar to the stock email app? K9 email is way too complicated for me
Im new to android but after reading people suggest me to use maildroid from the google store and works very well for me
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Thanks. Really wish the damn default email client works Am using AquaMail. Seems ok so far.
Hey Buddy,
It probably isn't your email client, more than likely your settings. If your network is o2, go into your settings and change your SMTP settings to smtp.o2.co.uk and port 25. This should enable you to send email whilst on 3G at least. Ideally you can just add your network's smtp setting and have that as well as your email provider's too.

Thanks for your reply but it's weird that i can get go email, aqua mail and a couple more other email clients to work but not the stock mail. I've had a string of HTC phones and never had settings issues until now. I've tried port 25, 26 and 587. Tried with different security settings like SSL and stuff but still no go.
I'm guessing i'm the only one facing this problem
