Creating a new mail message - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

HI,
this is probibly a stupid question, I have reset my o2 xda twice, I want to create a new email, but when I click on new nothing happens, I can not view existing emails either, the emails are downloading to the PDA, and it updates my pop3 account when i delete them.
Is anyone else having this issue?
thanks in advance :lol:
J

when i use a pop account, i can read all mail after connecting to my maibox and delete it on the JJ but it dosent remove it from the server, so when i get home my pc properlly downloads it and removes it from isp's mail server
sounds like the opposite of yours, i like it this way tho, roaming i can still reply and my desktop will collect it all at some point.

wifi
I am doing this connected through wifi, have not being brave enough yet to try this with the gprs / 3g, what are your connections that you had to setup to get it workign on the JJ?

yer im wifi for it to.......the only way to fly!

so let me get this right you have a pop3 account setup that gets your new emails and you can reply to them and create/send new ones? I am unable to view or forward the mails, think i have something wrong woth settings, do not have the ability to do the MMS mesages either.

sounds like, you did the reset before the extended rom installed itself, and not run all the small cabs.

how would i get that back? do you know, or have I screwed it up i have switched from active to the basic to try and see if that fixed it.

hard reset has given the ability to read an email and the mms, obviouly too hasty to play with my toy. ps to hard reset hold the twop option keys near the call start / end buttons and press the softreset with stylus.
:lol:

emoze.com offering free push email...any tried this yet?

www.emoze.com has just come up with a push email feature for mobiles and pdas.
i just wanted to know if anyone has tried out the service and how is it?
i don't have an outlook exchange server so i can't really set up direct push on my 8125.
I just checked and Emoze does not support the Qtek 9100 yet
try selecting the Tmo MDA.. same thing.. i'm downloading the program now to see if it works..
ok, stay away from it for now, it is in beta, but here's what happened to me..
1. it replicated my contacts about 40 times.. i had to go thru and delete duplicates... ugh..
2. Program on the PC desktop crashes randomly, it crashed 4 times in a 30 minute period..
3. kinda flaky performance.. it works as in the push email function, it notifies you, but then it took 3-4 trys on the PPC to get out of the notification/program and see the actual email in outlook..
give it time and if they perfect it a little, this will be very cool to have..

Cool, thanks for the input. Hopefully they'll fix the bugs soon so we can use it.
replicated my contacts also, it states that you cannot have activesync running while this program is running, which is kinda ridiculous...another thing is, it runs OFF of your computer, uses your OUTLOOK, nothing on their end, its just a piece of software...in other words, if your computer is off, no email....useless if you ask me
Ya know, it's a shame the T-Mobile's SMS-based notification feature isn't a bit better tuned. It really works well - just takes to long to notify your phone of a new event.
For anyone who hasn't tried it. When you go to the T-Mobile website, you can put in the info for one or more of your non-T-Mobile email services. You can use POP3 or IMAP4 servers along with your SMTP server, and you specify your email login and password.
After that, you can click on the feature in your MDA that retrieves specs for your email account from T-Mobile's servers, and pocket Outlook will set up an appropriate additional account for you in the MDA. With this all set up, you can, in addition to your normal way of checking your email, check your email account via the T-Mobile website or via your MDA simply by doing a Send/Receive on the MDA in the Messaging app.
The neat part that T-Mobile hasn't quite implemented 100% is that you can have their server monitor your email account for new incoming messages, and in turn send a "silent SMS" to your MDA to let it know when new email has arrived. Then your MDA automatically kicks off a Send/Receive, fetches whatever email is waiting on the server and notifies you.
This works quite well. The ONLY problem is that that it may take way too long for you to be notified that something new is on the server. This could be due to one (or both) of two possibilities:
1) T-Mobile's back-end servers may not be monitoring and checking your email server frequently enough. If it checks for new email every minute, that's great - but if it waits 30 minutes between checks, that's about the best you can hope for when waiting for your MDA to be notified about new incoming mail.
2) Even if T-Mobile's back-end servers "know" that your email provider's servers have new mail for you once a minute, that only helps if the "daemon" (or whatever process they use) sends the "silent SMS" to you immediately. If the "silent SMS" is queued up, and the process to send them out is delayed, or possibly scheduled to happen once every 30 minutes, we have yet another way in which it takes too long for your phone to be notified that new email has arrived.
Whichever delay is causing this, it would be fantastic if T-Mobile could fix it. If they did, this would, functionally, serve the purpose of push email for many of us -- especially for those of us who have unlimited messaging as part of our plan with T-Mobile.
despite the bugs, it worked great, and i'm gonna keep an eye on their progress..
This is basically the program i've been looking for. Something that I can load on my own PC (since it's on 24/7) and have it sync my inboxes on my 8125.. it was nearly instantaneous when it worked on my system..
a note to people that want to try this though...
1. BACKUP YOUR CONTACTS!!!!
2. Make sure ActiveSync is set to not sync anything, and turned off.
3. Then run the program..
I wish it was more stable, and i'd use it all the time, but until then, im sticking with POP updating every 2 minutes..
I can't get it to work on my PC in my office. My company uses a proxy server and the desktop app can't connect to the internet. Any suggestions?
not really sure.. but keep an eye on this thread from their forums, the emoze team might respond with an answer..

I think they started push service in their "live.web2mail" bbeta but I could be mistaken as I have not tried it. Even if it free it wont be for long as MS has pretty expensive licensing fees per user to use exchange server. I think they have 6 months where they can claim 0 users. The emoze you need your home pc on all the time. For me it would be ok cuz i always keep my pc turned on but for a lot of people i dont think they do that.
Any news on this? Is it working yet? I keep my computer on all the time and was looking at running Exchange Server from it to get Push Email, but maybe I'm better off waiting for this?
I've been using a mail3web live account for a couple of weeks and it works very well. I just had to set up mail forawrding from my own ISP. I'm pretty sure it's not push email but it works fine through active sync on the PPC as long as I remember not to kill the application. You can set it to synch with the sever as often as you like and as I'm a bit worried about getting a large bill and I'm not too wooried about getting everything instantaniously I've set mine to synch with the server every two hours. If I want to check more frequently I just hit send/receive.
Dave
Whoops - no I haven't discovered a new one! The above should read mail2web live account!

I've been using mail2web for a few days... its cool.... and push email too, but that needs a few tweaks before it works properly

There's no tweak. mail2web just upgraded to Exchange SP2, so if you've got a ROM in your wizard that supports push (I'm using the 2.17 custom on my TMO MDA), sign up for a free mail2web account, forward your email there from other accounts, and follow the diretions to set it up on your Wizard, and you will get true push email now.
The only problem I have is that I forward my gmail to my mail2web, and once or twice/day I notice I'm not getting e-mail, sign in to my gmail account and under the forward it says gmail is having trouble forwarding to that account. I push try again, and it starts sending my email again for maybe a day. I think mail2web is either having a problem receiving so much mail (there's been a big buzz about it on xda and howard last few weeks), or else it might be a problem with their spam filters...
MC
thanx for ur reply...that's exactly what i did and got a gmail account too and everything's ok here...all my mails are directed to my mail2web account ( actually live.mail2web.com account)
But can not succeed in push to mail...my rom is the "test only" one I think it's the one before the official 2.17....Any chance to get it work though?
Many thanx...

8525 and missing emails.

I'm running the leaked version of the Cingular rom and while I know this isn't final I was kinda hoping that some things would get fixed. One of them being the missing email problem.
After a few hours receiving a email it just disappears into thin air!!!!! and yes I have it set to always show emails no matter how old they are..
Where are my emails going? I want to keep ALL my emails until I decide to delete them..
Anyone got any suggestions? I have tried everything and nothing works..
Out of curiosity am I the only one on a 8525 that has this problem?
Have you used the site search, and tried the retrieve 999kb header fix?
Yes and they still dissapear..
I have tried everything..
i too am having this problem. you are not alone. guess now i will be trying out 3rd party mail clients for the time being. everything else with the upgrade is fantastic so im not going back
This is still an issue with me also. Using a verizon pop3 account.
Incorrect Settings...??

In order to help, we need to know what pop account you are using... for instance, I had this problem with Gmail messages disappearing after a couple of hours to a day... found out that there is a non published setting that appears when using the phone's auto config feature... Let me explain...
when setting up the pop3 account for gmail, the settings are as included on their website... problem is that I have my outlook connected at home and constantly checking messages, and is configured to leave messages on server.... But with the other machine pulling the messages, for some reason they disappear on my TyTN even though I have it set to grab messages for the last 7 days...
what the auto config feature has done was to add "recent:" without the quotes in front of my account name, so it reads "recent:[email protected]"... Once that was done, my messages stopped automatically disappearing... Try it, what do you have to lose that you haven't lost already...

The first setup I edited out the "recent" and had the disappearing mail problem - I deleted that email account and ran the setup again leaving the "recent:" text in and bingo my Gmail works as it should on my P3600i.
Thanks for the tip.
PS. The only bug now is that the mail that I sent also appears in the Inbox - is there a way to correct this?

Problems with the email

Hi All
I'm very happy with the diamond so far, it runs like a kitten, but I have just one annoying problem, which I don't seem to be able to solve.
As soon as I download my email, it automatically erases my old mail and it doesn't matter if I read it or not.
So if I put my mail on automatic pickup every hour, then I got one hour to read them, or they get erased.
I tried to change the setting for erasing from server and leave them there, but for some reason, it won't erase the mail from the server, just my phone.
Anyone recognizes this
please help
Does nobody have problems with their email?
please, any answer is alright, I just want to know if it is normal that the phone erases all my email while sending/receiving, or that I should to the configuration some more.
In the account settings, you have an option to sync mails that are older then X days.
Cant remember what it's on out of the box but you can change it to all messages so it won't remove older mails.
I had a hard time finding this setting so here are the details for anyone who is interested. The setting is in the ActiveSync settings, not in the email settings. Open ActiveSync, click Menu, click Options, Hi-light Email, Click Settings, then choose which option you want from the drop down menu next to "Download the past:". I was very glad to find this change.

The HD2 hotmail problem

First off all: I checked this website (heck! I checked half the internet) and I didn't find a solution to my problem.
Now, what is my problem?
When I first got the HD2 I really wanted to get my hotmail account on my phone.
Now there is a tab under email called "hotmail1".
I can't delete it (it's greyed out), I can't open it, I can't do anything with it!
I already read that unsyncing your windows live account with your emailaddress would help, but nothing. Also, when I want to make a new hotmail account it just transfers me to "windows.live.com"
(I also tried using a fake email and then changing it to hotmail afterwards, didnt help, I got transfered to windows.live.com)
sorry if some of the menunames are wrong, my phone is dutch
Hi
I have exactly the same problem but it doesnt look like other people have come across this problem to find a solution.
I have set up my phone exactly the way I like it, its working fantastic. I dont want to resort to a hard reset
Exactly!
I have all my programs, preferances and hotfixes in just the way I want them. I'd hate to do all that again just for hotmail.
I can't help you get rid of any dodgy accounts that you've already set up, but I can tell you how to set up a hotmail account correctly.
Run Windows Live in your start menu and enter your hotmail account details in there. That will automatically create an email account on the phone for you, and will even give you the ability of push email. It's pointless trying to manually set up a hotmail account, unless you want more than 1. If you do then you need to read tip #43 in this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638
As for getting rid of the problematic accounts they you've already created, I'm sure someone on here will be able to help you rid yourselves of them
The funny thing is that trying to create a (new) account with windows live just redirects me to the mobile.live.com site
Yep, same problem here, just redirects to the website.
If I try to create another hotmail account with the same details, it wont allow me to saying ' you've got another email account with the same name'!!!!
Annoying!!
It is probably because you are using (or have used) My Phone or Windows Live on the phone to connect to hotmail.
The way I do it is through Windows Live. So go to Marketplace and make sure that you have the latest Windows live app, then sign in to your account from there.
Tried it and failed
Still a greyed out hotmail1 (non functional)
When I want to send a new message, I can only choose "add a new email address" or another emailaddress (my studentmail).
THat's probably not how it's called on the english rom, but it comes close to the dutch translation

I got mine fixed when i signed in on my computer's browser with my hotmail account. Then i tap send/receive on the phone and it connected to the server... not really sure if this is a fixed? but it did fix my gray thing.

Still greyed out!
Is there a way to completely uninstall msn messenger on your mobile phone?
I hope that might work
If you set up your hotmail thru windows live, you have to change the setting thru windows live also. I had the same problem as you. I was not able to delete hotmail account thru the regular email setup. Then I remember windows live, so I went in there. I choose the option to switch to another windows live account. It will then asked for your credential. Hit cancel and voila.. my hotmail account is gone.
I had this too, I set up my hotmail account via the introduction screen when you boot your HD2 for the first time. Then, I tried to set up my hotmail via Windows Live. When syncing with my pc, which collects hotmail in Outlook, I got a third Hotmail account, all non-functional (actually only syncing via wifi actually, to make it weirder). I decided to hard reset.
The proper way to setup Hotmail is via the Windows Live application, you can't set it up via Outlook (mobile or from your pc). Ang_rudy's solution might work, the other solution is hard resetting, which is far from optimal of course.
can any1 help i have had the HD2 for 2 days, i havent been able to set up hotmail account, but i also cant access my facebook either. i really dnt want to take it back but i have got clue how to resolve these issues.
any assistance would be greatly appreciated
Please help!!
i have had my HD2 for 2 days now iv tried setting up my hotmail account, lmao it might aswell give me the big "FU" facebook doesnt work either just comes up with, "you need to connect to the internet" well ob not cause i can get into facebook through opera!!
can any1 help or will i get the same useless answers as i do from O2 " its a new phone we dnt how to fix these problems yet" my answer to that is dnt F sell to people then.
Thank god i kept my 3GS never had any problems with that

[Q] How to stop email receive over USB

I've seen a post on the HD2 forum for this, but no replies.
When you set pop email send/receive to "manual", then whenever you connect the phone via USB (to synchronise calendar/contacts) the phone goes and collects the mail anyway.
This is annoying because I only want to manually receive mail when travelling, and inbetween I have no need for icons reminding me I have "new" emails...
Kind of weird that the phone does this even when the "manual" option is clearly chosen. Anyone know of a way to avoid this?
No-one? Surely anyone who has their phone and PC connected, doesn't want to have their email showing up on both... or am I the only one to have this issue?
I don't use this option, so can't help with that . But isn't this a synchronisation option on the computer side. Isn't it possible to disable the synchronisation of individual options like the calendar and email etc?

You're thinking of Outlook mail and its synchronisation. My problem is with pop mail accounts which are not synchronised (the mail is downloaded but not deleted from the server, so the PC mail program is the master and the phone mail is just a way to catch up when you're not behind the PC).
So synschronisation is not related - this is purely to do with the action of the phone which does a send/receive during a USB connection, despite send/receive being set to manual. At all other times it does indeed not pick up mails automatically, but whenever I connect to USB and I have waiting mail (in one of my four accounts) it ends up on the phone also.
I know that I could disable the phone from accessing the internet over USB (which would stop pop access) but then I lose other functionality such as the automatic GPS satellite position update (which has a specific option to update itself when connected by USB).
HTC support have now told me that this is not a 'feature' you can change, although it took several attempts to get them to actually answer the question rather than feed me standard and unrelated responses, so I'm not sure that this is definitive.
Ok thnx for your feedback! Its a pitty that this is not a feature, but maybe somebody kan make an app for that ?
I just ditch the whole email thing. I use the browser to check email instead. Simple. Fast. Does not clutter the phone. Does not overburden the phone.

Also rather expensive when you are roaming internationally, and dependent on there being a (decent) webmail interface...
Yeah. You can't keep the emails in the phone. But that's the whole point. Having hundreds of email in the phone can only cause problems.
But if you access internet thru pc usb connection, or thru wifi, then the roaming problem won't apply.
Can't win them all.
