Hi all
I am using my TyTN to check email over WiFi, which is very convenient. However, after setting up the first 4 POP3 accounts it doesn't seem to allow me to set up any more
It doesn't actually give an error message - it just ignores my requests! I have (soft) reset the device several times and tried again, but no change.
Has anyone else tried to set up more than 4 POP3 addresses?
Otherwise very much enjoying my TyTN
Granted I'm using a different ROM than you, but I've got 5 POP accounts in addition to the activesync, mms, and text message boxes. I just tried adding a sixth and ran into no problems.
Cheers
Not sure what to do then. I deleted one of the POP3 accounts, and it was happy to let me add a new fourth account - IMAP or POP3.
Once I was back up to 4 accounts again it ignores any further attempt to create a new account.
Any ideas anyone?

profimail would be good alternative if you dont use push email
I get the same behaviour on my Tytn.
I have SMS,MMS plus 4 POP3 accounts, and any attempt to add an account is simply ignored.
Does it have to do with updating the push mail ?

Hey all,
I've been having some problems with POP3 and gmail on my TyTN/8525. That problem being: it doesn't work anymore. It worked great for about a week, then just stopped working for no apparent reason. I didn't change any of my gmail settings during this time.
After it stopped working, I randomly got 5 of the 100+ e-mails that I was suppsoed to get. Gmail is receiving them fine and I can see them when I login to gmail, they just don't get downloaded when my phone pops it. I can send e-mail through gmail's pop fine.
Anyone have a clue what my problem might be?
Thanks,
Todd

Which wireless provider?
Have you tried deleting the Gmail account on the TyTn and then re-adding it?
Can you POP3 access it from you'r home computer etc (to make sure it is not a Gmail issue)?
If these do not help post you're setup so we can take a look
I think the problem seems to stem from the fact that Gmail breaks down your messages in groups, like around 300 or so messages at a time. On top of that, Pocket IE doesn't download the full messages by default and, as such, leaves a copy of the messages on the server. I think when this happens, Gmail doesn't prepare the next "group" of messages to send to you. Also, Pocket IE, by default, is set to show only messages from the last 3 days, so even though it may have downloaded a bunch of messages, you'll only see the ones that are 3 days old or less. You'll want to uncheck that option.
Try setting up your account as you normally would in the desktop mail app of your choice, Outlook Express for example. Make sure it isn't set to leave a copy of the messages on the server. If Outlook Express didn't download the first group of messages, make sure to do a manual send and receive. That will hopefully tell Gmail to prepare your next group of messages. Alternate Send/Receives with your phone and Gmail until you get to your most recent messages. Also, try putting recent in front of your user name, IE, "recent:[email protected]" instead of just your user name/e-mail address.
i find with gmail that it stops working every few weeks and i have to go into gmail on my pc and re-check the Get all pop email from now, ( it seems there are too many emails to be sent down )
using the "recent:" prefix before your login in your outlook username should fix this.

Ok I have a 8525 with the schaps 3.60a rom. I don't think the rom really matters as this problem has been going on since day 1 and i've been through 2 stock at&t roms and 2 3.60a cooked roms all with the same issue. I have the gmails pop settings enabled and I have no issues at all receiving email from gmail on my device.
The problem is that they don't stay in the inbox for more than a day. It seemed they stay in there for awhile when the email is initially setup but after a few days it goes back to clearing the inbox on its own. Gmail settings are set to receive all mail starting on 8/2/07. I innitially thought I might be causing a conflict with having the same email account setup in outlook07. So i've created another email account and I have that account setup in outlook and in the gmail settings I have it set to forward my main gmail account to that one. This way when I receive email on my home pc it doesnt use the same pop account as my 8525. This doesnt solve the problem though.
Anyone know of a solution or has encounted this problem? It seems others should be having this problem as I don't believe it is specific to my device and gmail being a pretty popular email service would lead me to believe I'm not the only one. Any help is appreciated.
Edit: NM I found the solution.
what's the solution...?
if you do a search for gmail on the main hermes forum. There is a thread called "missing gmail emails" or somethin. Basically when you set the username on the hermes for gmail you need to add "recent:" without the quotes to the beginning of your username. this is automatically added when you detect gmail settings and I changed it to my normal username as I didn't think it would work with "recent:[email protected]". But I was wrong apparently you need to leave the setting alone and this resolves the sync issues with gmail and hermes.

does this apply to all pop mail or just gmail?
I have a Nexus One working fine on Orange.
I use it for my Blueyonder email account which is set up just the same as it was on my Hero.
The problem is this:
I get the email notification to say i have new emails, then i go into my emails and the emails are there. Then it starts to refresh my emails and then before my eyes there all disappear! It deletes them before i have chance to read them.
If i then go onto my pc to check my emails there are none there. So its obviously deleting them from the server.
Now i have checked double and triple checked the settings.Its definitely not set to delete from server or even delete when read.
Any help will be appreciated as i dont know what is going on and I'm losing important emails.
I take it you are using the native email client?
Maybe this is not the answer that you are looking for but I use the Gmail App instead of the native Email client. That way I get the benefit of Push without having to refresh.
If you are interested in doing the same then all you have to do is..on your PC:
Gmail > Settings > Accounts and Import > Check mail using POP3: > Add POP3 email account.
Then all blueyonder emails will be pushed to the Gmail App and you can set a label for them as well.
Yes i am. I`m just upset that it doesnt work just like the Hero did. That was spot on..
I`ll try your idea if no one comes up with a solution for me. Cheers.
I agree with Abbsta... you should to add your blueyonder account to gmail and receive all your blueyonder emails in gmail account.
it is much easier and being a google phone it works well with gmail accounts...
I did what you said and its spot on cheers..
Just an update. Spoke to HTC had no idea why it was doing but suggested i use imap instead of pop3.
It worked!
Hi everyone,
I have searched the forum for similar problems but can't find anything. I have my email set to check email every 15 minutes. Even after I delete the emails from my phone, when gmail is checked 15 minutes later, the emails return once again as "new". On the computer version of gmail, the emails are still unread in the inbox.
How can I set the "delete" on the email tab to actually get rid of the email? (preferable send the email to the archive function of gmail)
Thanks in advance.
anyone?????
I have the save problem
Use activesync (with push) instead of POP/imap, works perfectly.
Mine did the same thing until I changed my mail settings to say "delete from server" and also "immediately" if you don't change your delete settings to immediate then it wont actually erase the mail until the next time it connects and downloads it all over again.
GMAIL not deleting - Windows Mobile 6.5
I'm running WinMo 6.5 Cell ROM on a Touch Pro 2 from HTC.
I have exactly the same problem. I delete GMAIL messages from the Inbox on my handset. Next time the phone does a Send/Receive it brings down all the new mail again from the GMAIL server. Basically the handset is not marking mail as being deleted, nor is it marking the mail as read on the server.
I'm using GMAIL in MAPI/SMTP mode on the handset as this is what is accepted by default when setting up the GMAIL account on the device.
I've no experience of using ActiveSync/PUSH for mail. How do you set it up?

I use activesync to download all my messages from google, It also pulled my calendar and contacts to the handset too, I found the instructions by going to: wwwDOTgoogleDOTcom/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299 (wont let me post outside links, so Dot = .) Also on section 11 before syncing everything, I synced each item individually first then switched them all on as I was getting errors.
ActiveSync and PUSH MAIL for Google Mail is the best alternative for being able to hardly experience inbox and retrieval errors.
to delete emails go into your inbox and when you delete, use the left softkey (the bin icon) to delete and not the sense menu.
Gmail not syncing
I had the exact same issue. I searched forever until I found what worked for me. It appears to be an issue is you restore using nandroid. Here is the link on how to do it.

remove the () () of course.
Hi Guys,
I have a few email accounts setup on my phone, mostly Gmail, all with the same settings and setup with IMAP. Somehow most of the accounts work fine, but two of them seem to function more like a POP3 account. If I delete or mark the email as read from my phone, the change will update on the server and my computer. If I go the other way though and read or delete from my computer, the change will not reflect on my phone. Because of this most of my accounts show only a few unread emails, and two of them show 50 unread. Has anyone had a similar issue, and are there any thoughts to solve this?
I've tried deleting and adding the account again on my phone, and going through all the settings Gmail on working and nonworking accounts to compare. I'm using the stock email app on the Alliance KK Rom. Thanks,
Nila
