When I try and log on to my email account from my PC, I find that my XDA2 has already got hold of the thing and is sitting idly waiting after downloading all the current headers. I don't really want it to do this, but can't find a way of (as on Outlook on the PC), just doing a send and recieve on demand.

How about: In the email settings, on E-Mail Setup screen 4 of 4 there is a button marked "Options". Click here and there's a checkbox labeled "Connect and check for messages every ___ minute(s)." If you clear the checkbox the XDA should no longer go out on its own to grab your mail.
To manually connect, there's an icon on the bottom of the Inbox screen to the right of "Accounts" that switches the connection on and off. When you're logged in the icon is in a white box.
My reference is an XDA running WM03. I think you should be seeing the same.

Is there any way that I can get a message notification that an email has been sent as there are no options to do this in "settings" -> " personal" -> "sounds & notifications".
Also, is there any way I can get notification following a send/receive request in "mail". There seems to be no way of knowing that the request has actually been done.
Thanks in advance

there's no real way, when you send an email, the server doesn't send back a "message sent successfully" notification, it will just send you an email if it isn't successful.
which way are you send/recieving? there's like 3 ways taht i can think of off the top of my head - in the TF3D screen using the soft menu, in the outlook app using the soft menu, or in the activesync app clicking the sync button. in the outlook app you can tell because when you click it at the bottom it says connecting, etc, and when it goes back to the summary of your inbox then it's done. in activesync it's really obvious, when the activesync symbol goes grey it's finished. in the TF3D there's no notification of when it's finished.
get advanced config and turn on the message sent notification bubble thing
Thanks for your replies. I have been using the TF3D screen but will use the outlook app from now - Thank you.
I have downloaded the advanced config but can not find any reference to email notification only sms.
Thank you
sorry, i thought you were referring to phone message, not email :s
Yesterday the TouchFlo of my Touch HD started to always show one unread e-mail although all mails were read. Deleting the account or a softreset or doing both didn't help (with or without TouchFlo disabled). Even without any mail account I still get one unread e-mail.
Start -> Messaging shows the correct mail count (0 unread mails).
If I receive a new mail the TouchFlo counts 2 unread, after I read the new one, 1 unread message remains.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Go to Messaging to mail account open the tree and in outlook email you will see a message delete it and you are all set
Thank you very much! That was it!
I made an restore with pimbackup, and I still see 25 in the counter (I have a lot more). I also don't see any message in the outlook email
Sorry to hijack the thread but I have exactly the same problem but with SMS messages.
Its shows one unread message but there are none in the messages folder. Even if I go to the tree, sure enough its states Inbox (1) but upon entering the inbox there is nothing.
Can anyone help please, its driving me nuts!!
I'm having this exact same problem. Touchflo shows 1 SMS. I've completely cleared all messages in all folders, yet it still shows 1 on the counter. Like GuyAdams, it's driving me crazy too.

thanks a lot. that was my problem
it was driving me crazy.
i had the same problem a long time ago and someone in the raphael forums gave me a tool to reset unread message count. Go search there and see if you can find it. It was simply an exe file to run
I have the same problem with emails. It says I have 2 unread but ive deleted everything.
Tried going through the tree as above. Nothing shows.
Tried the .exe fiile. Nothing happened. Still showing 2 unread.
Any other suggestions?

This is what works most of the time!
Here's a little more detail. (different versions of Touchflo have minor differences)
1. go to 'Messaging' tab (sms texts) in Touchflo.
2. tap softkey (left) labeled 'All messages'
3. This should bring up 'Messaging' program.
4. tap softkey (right) labeled 'Menu'
5. tap option 'Go To >'
6. tap option 'Outlook E-mail'
7. Delete unread email here.
8. Close Messages and check that your email counter has adjusted.
Hopefully this works for most problems.
If you have done this you can download the *.exe others have mentioned. The name of it is fixunreadcount.exe and about 9k. Hopefully I've attached a zip of it to this post.
Still the problem, hidden account?
Hello,
Thank you for all these answers, but no method worked for me... I still have one unread message
Perhaps this problem has a link to this other issue: as I configured my gmail account, a bug makes that no account is created if I leave the name "Gmail" for the name account. If I choose "Google" or an other name, it works. Perhaps the "Gmail" account, which does not appear, is hidden somewhere?
Thanks for your help!

Thanks.
This .exe removed the 1 from the SMS inbox, but not the 1 from touchflo. I then did a soft reset and it was still there. I then did the "Go To" Outlook as suggested and checked Outlook and SMS inboxes and neither had the 1 in but JOY OF JOYS, when I came bake to Touchflo, the 1 had gone.
Thanks again.
I hate the water droplet sound that the email has, I changed the sound in the sound settings but apprently it's seperate check all over in the app and I have no idea how to change it....
2. I want to be able to remove the WIFI in the notification shade, I don't mind the popup too much but I'd like to remove that also. I'm connected to wifi 80% of the time and that just takes screen real estate and clutters my screen.
Email sounds are changed in the settings menu of ths mail apps themselves. For example, if you're using Exchange, hit the menu button and select settings then select your email account listed and change the sound there. Gmail is the same way. Go to settings, then your email account then Select inbox spund and vibrate.
Ok so I have my Email app setup and I'm not using the gmail app. I get emails and it vibrates and makes a sound, the notification will show in the notification bar for 1-2 seconds max then will disappear.
is there a way to solve this ?
thx
Same for me. I sync three accounts and in my case the situation is even worse: sometimes I don't get the notification number close to the mail app icon. ..
...while the icon in the lock screen shows a negative number. ..
Must be a bug, hope in the update. ..

I have set up 4 email accounts, Three of them shows notifications just fine but One email account from iCloud/me (Apple) have the same problem as u! Notification just dont stay In the notifications bar.
Well...hope the fix for that will be up soon.
If the sync setting is correct, follow these steps:
1. In the Gmail app, touch the Menu icon, then Settings.
2. Choose an account.
3. Make sure that Notifications is checked.
4. Touch Inbox sound & vibrate.
5. Check Label notifications.
6. Choose how you want to be notified. See “Learn more about notification settings” below for more information.
7. Go back to the previous page and touch Manage labels.
8. Select an inbox label such as Social, Promotions, Updates, Forums, or Inbox.
9. Check Label notifications and choose how you want to be notified about messages with this label.
10.Go back to the previous page and repeat for the rest of the inbox labels if you see them in your list. Inbox labels are at the top of the list, but not all of them are used in your account.

Hi,
I received my Pixel 4 last weekend and I'm quite happy with it.
I have tried Gmail app as well as Outlook app and I can't get the "dot notification" on the app icon to show up when I have new e-mails.
I do have the notification of new e-mails at the top of the screen though but I have several accounts and I would prefer to have the dot notification to directly press the right shortcut to access the inbox than to scroll the notification page down and see which account has new e-mails.
I checked in the app that the "dot notification" is enabled and in the mobile settings (under "app and notification") as well, all seem enabled.
Anyone would have any idea please?
Cheers,
Axello
Sorry wrong thread. I'll create another one
