I use GPRS to connect and download emails. After I delete some emails and reconnect, sometimes they will redownload again. And after a few days, the emails seem to automatically dissapear from my inbox.
Is this a setting issue or a OS issue? Appreciate any help!
What do you use? Pop3 or Exchange?
Exchange: The mails are kept only for a few days on your device. You can set that time period in Active Sync in the options for email.

The same applies to POP3 - there is a setting in the account for only downloading messages from eg. last 3 days
Thanks for the replies...
Im using POP, and am not activesyncing to my desktop, so that shouldnt have caused the mails to dissapear. Am only connecting to my email via GPRS, and the older mail in my inbox will just dissapear as I download new mail. I think it is generally after 5 days, thou I havent really tracked the trend.
The only setting I can find is the one that says download mail from the server - last XX days. But surely this should not delete the emails that I have kept in my inbox?
Any ideas?

Thats exactly what it does! It doesn't delete them off the server, but each time you send receive, it refreshes your mailbox with only the mail that meets the criteria. Simply change it to 30 days or something - but if you have lost of mail, do the next send receive over wifi or activesync.
(Oh and why dont you sync? If you lose/break your device, activesync means you have all your contacts/calendar/emails ready to sync to a replacement in seconds)

How else do you access your email? For instance, I also download my mail with thunderbird which takes them off the server. This means next time my pda syncs the emails will disappear off the pda. Also make sure you are downloading all mail and not just that from the last xx days
Similar problem here
I'm using Gmail with pop access and my messages seem to disappear from the device too. They are still on the server, but if I read them once they tend to disappear on their own, often that same day. This seems really strange because I have set to download messages from the past 7 days. I've got Automatic Send/Receive checking every 5 minutes. I didn't have this problem at all under WM5. I've had it with each WM6 version I've tried...Black 2.0,2.5, and LVSW.
Hi,
For keeping 30 days worth of email on your PDA for GMail if you use the username setting "Recent:[email protected]" . This is how I have mine setup and I get to keep 30 days of emails without the disappearing after a couple of days
Cheers

AHAH....

Thank you SO much. This problem with dissapearing messages was driving me nuts. Actually I was also wondering what that "Recent" ment as even Gmail never mentioned anything about that option.
does this work for verizon pop3 mail too. Im having the same problems as well with disapearing email.
Can someone tell me how receive emails instantly, without using that send & receive command, only gives me the option to send & receive every 5 minutes.
If my computer can receive emails instantly, so should my TP2.
Plz Help
You are looking for push email. Windows Mobile supports push email for Windows Live accounts (ie Hotmail) and Microsoft Exchange Server accounts.
Recently, Google announced Exhange support for Gmail. It's not perfect though. Google is working on the bug that won't let you see attachments.

I have 3 email accounts set up on my Tilt2. The account that syncs with our exchange server is fine. My yahoo account is fine. My third email account is NOT fine.
The 3rd account is set up on my laptop as an IMAP account. As long as my phone is not downloading email messages for that account, new messages arrive on my laptop as "unread". The minute I hit send/receive on the tilt 2 for that email account, the messages that were "unread" on my laptop change to "read" right before my eyes. It's the most annoying thing. I don't have my laptop on all the time. Sometimes I might go a day or two without turning on my laptop, but as soon as my laptop email downloads new messages, all the new messages show up as "read" because the Tilt2 downloaded them first. I usually didn't even read them on the Tilt2. They show as unread on the phone and read on the laptop. Grrrrrrr.
My old tilt didn't behave that way. It's annoying because I generally reply to my email from the laptop, but sometimes I can't remember how far back I need to go to find out whether I've really read something or not. I spent 1.5 hours on the phone with AT&T tech support. During that call I was transferred to the HTC tech support rep. At the end all she had left was to tell me to do a master reset. Right now I don't feel like having to reconfigure everything and remember how I got everything the way it is. That will take hours.
Surely someone here must have a clue about a way to make this work right. I'd prefer not to go through the master reset if I can help it. There's no guarantee that will work either.
Help please????
Hello Experts
I am having this crazy problem since I am using HTC TP2 (T-mobile version). One of my Yahoo accounts starts downloading all of my emails on my phone. I have settings for to download only email for last 3 days. My other emails like gmail and live accounts are fine, but only yahoo emails is giving this problem.
I tried deleting the account and adding again. It is fine for few days and then start doing it again. Also I have exchanged my TP2 twice for another issue and I have seen this issue on all phones.
Is there a setting on my account (online version) that is doing it.
Need help.
I swear this ish happened to me yesterday. I picked up my phone and saw 19 new emails. That only happens when someone from my old school dies and emails are exchanged on our school forum. I opened my inbox and discovered all the read and unread emails in my Yahoo inbox had been downloaded to my phone...phew! big relief no one died but why the hell did that happen? I think I did a send/recieve and all the emails just diasappeared and it went back to normal.
guys, I got a really odd issue with my tilt 2 and yahoo email. I got the phone setup receiving emails from a couple of my email account, yahoo and gmail. For some reason, one of my yahoo email always download all of the mails after like a day or two of use despite the fact I set it to 1 day or 3 days. What is wrong with it?
Finally!! Someone who can relate to what I'm going through.
Any fixes for this? It had downloaded over 1400 emails in one Yahoo account and everything on the phone was lagging. There were some areas I couldn't get to: Home Screen. I ended up doing another hard reset and reloading the data from there. The only thing that sucks about that is that I lose the threaded SMS that I had.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ditto on the problem. I haven't figured out why it does this yet...
same issue has happened a few times to me. only solution I found was going to yahoo on my pc & archiving old emails so I keep only 100-200 emails in my inbox.

This is a rare issue for me. It's happened to me less than 10 times (on my HD2 and my TP2).
The only thing I do when I see it trying to download 300+ (instead of the 5 days of mail I want), I press Menu > Send/Receive to force-stop the download. When I retry, it goes back to downloading the 5 days-worth of mail.
