My HD deletes all emails in my inbox after 4 or 5 days, the sent folder does not seem affected. This is frustrating as I need to access older emails and would quite happily keep them on the memory for 6 months or so. I cant find the setting which stops the inbox being deleted....or at least allows me to do it manually.
Any help?
Cheers
I think this will do what you want:
Select the email tab then...
Menu
Accounts
Accounts
Menu
Options
Select your email account
Edit Account Setup
Next
Next
Next
Next
Next
Download messages:
All messages.
For me using Google mail:
Select the mail tab
Menu
Accounts >
Accounts…
Menu
Options
Google Mail is selected from the list
Send/receive schedule is selected from the list
From Download Messages drop down select All Messages
Done

Both answers above are correct, also it does depend on what email your using whether your syncing with exchange server or just POP3 mail
If you delete email from a gmail, yahoo etc it will also be deleted from your phone as it is synced, check your options and look at keeping a copy on server when deleted.
other option is to create a folder in your email account and copy paste emails to that folder
Would anyone know how to keep sent messages in "sent" folder?
Using Gmail IMAP my messages get sent but can't find them on my phone after send.
On line all show in my Gmail account.
go to the options of the messaging, "message" tab and check the second one "keep copies of sent items in sent folder"
Got it selected but no messages stay in any "sent" folder
In Outlook it works like this, don't know if its the same with IMAP, but worth a shot
Menu > Tools > Manage Folders
Then select the foders you want to sync

+1 Was just going to say this when I saw your reply.
Thats how I set mine on gmail & IMAP.
Just note you cant choose 'manage folders' while it is connecting / downloading / sending mail so wait for it to finish first
So I've been having a few issue with gmail and it not syncing with the sent mail folder. There's been a few posts on here, but I thought I'd start a new one for a 'new' solution for those that may still be having issues. I solved it mostly through help from wacky.banana (many thanks) and a bit of good fortune.
Anyway I was following advice on here that once I'd set up my googlemail account on my HD2 only inbox was synced as default, so you need to go into menu from the inbox folder>tools>manage folders and tick the box for sent mail. What I've just noticed is that when you click manage folders and it takes you to the screen with the different folders with the check boxes, it says "sent items" rather than "sent mail". I've been ticking this assuming it was my "sent mail" folder, and so only been getting mail sent using the HD2, and not been able to access older sent mail, nor does it sync with sent mail from my PC.
What I accidently found this morning was that in the manage folders page, if you expand google mail by pressing the box with + in it you will now get a folder saying "sent mail". Tick this box and everything works ok. To some of you on here this might seem totally obvious, but to those of us new to winmo it's not, and I though some of you might have been doing the same as me
My only gripe with it now is that when you go to the sent mail folder you can't catagorise it by recipient, so everthing comes up with my name/email address. Does anyone know if there's some way you can get it to sort via recipient name?
Apologies if this has been covered at lengthy already, if so just give me a link and lock this thread...
I've had my vibrant for a couple weeks. It's all stock with a handful of apps downloaded. I have two email accounts linked (synced), one with gmail.com and one with comcast.net.
The problem is with the comcast account. On a daily basis, I get an alert(s) about new messages. I check, and there's nothing new. Sometimes I check, and I see emails that I've previously deleted. I have the "incoming server settings" set to delete email from server "when i delete from inbox."
Anyone else hear about or have this problem? Any solutions, advice, or settings I should check?
Thanks for any feedback.
I am getting the same issues. I have 2 hotmail accounts and gmail. I get ghost hotmail emails. I get a notification that I get a new email. I check my computer to make sure its not there, and its not in the phone either but I still get a notification that i received a new email.
This happens because the email app downloads 25 messages, so when you delete one you get and read, then you would have 24 emails, so the phone will download the next oldest on the server to have 25 emails, so the "new email" is actually all the way to the bottom and its old in the server but marked as unread on the phone... solve it by downloading all your emails to the phone, not just 25

If this is true, that's horrible! I have thousands of emails from years ago that I do not want to download to my phone every time I delete 1 email.

Thanks for the info! But, to download all my emails instead of just 25, do I have to change a setting or something? I can't figure out where to make the change.
I've also noticed that new mail will show up and it's not in your
main mailbox but, bulk, junk etc....
You can change t on settings (press and hold the account name until menu pops up) or you can scroll to the bottom after the last email and tap "download more messages" and it will download the next 25. I never have over 50 emails on my Hotmail inbox (use folders) so by doing that its downloading everything on the server so when I delete a junk email I just got, there are no more messages to download, they're all on the pone so I wont get that notification of "new email"

Then maybe you can download K-9 email app and set the account there, I've heard its a pretty good app but I haven't tried it myself, the stock works for me

I had the same issue, ended up just deleting my pop... the main problem I had that pushed me over the edge was, I would get a new email, click notification, it opens up the client, and before I can click on it, the e-mail dissapears, so I have to log into webmail to read it...

Thanks, I see what you mean now about the "new" email actually being the oldest one way down at the bottom. This is bugging me because when I click "load more messages" it seems to just think for a long time and never finish.
I'm still having trouble finding the place to adjust this in settings. When I click settings, then accounts and sync, I see the account in the list. A long press does nothing. A soft press bring up options for syncing contacts and syncing calendar, but nothing on how many emails to download. (I am noticing that even though this is my main email account, it's associating it with Facebook, there's a big "F" icon.)
Also, I logged in to the account online and I seem to have lost TONS of old emails I was saving in my inbox. I can get over that, I guess, but still. Ow.
To see the settings of how many emails to download, go to the email app, not to settings, on the email app, you will see a list of accounts you have (if u have more than one) in that case long press the account u wanna change and a menu will pop up, one of the options on that menu is settings. If you only have one account, when u open the email app it takes you to the inbox, press the.menu button and then press "accounts" and you will see the one account that you can long press

Thanks for the continued assistance. i only have one account, so I opened the email app, clicked menu, clicked accounts, long pressed my email account and clicked on account settings.
The attributes it allows me to adjust there are: account name, your name, email check frequency, default account, email notifications, select ringtone, vibrate, incoming settings, outgoing settings, forward with attachment and signature,
I just don't see anything about how many messages to download. hmm.

I think the option to download more messages is only available if you have your email account set up for a POP connection, not imap... I think.
However, I get phantom email notifications all the time on my imap connection. This weekend I got a bunch, but I wasn't doing anything with my email (no new messages, no reads, no deletes). At one point on Sunday it said i had 25 unread email messages on my work account, but I had none! (no junk messages either)
I don't like to use the Gmail App, always used the exchange setting which, unfortunately, isn't working anymore. So when I started using the stock HTC mail app for setting up Gmail accounts, which uses IMAP, I had the problem of 3 new labels being created in Gmail! IMAP/Trash, IMAP/Sent & IMAP/Draft. Also syncing didn't work right! Sent mail from my phone went to IMAP/Sent instead of the normal sent. Deleted e-mail went to IMAP/Trash.
Solution?
Simple; go to your desktop Gmail settings, "Labels" tab > then check the "Show in IMAP" for Sent mail, Drafts & Trash. Then remove the unwanted Labels (IMAP/Trash, IMAP/Sent & IMAP/Draft). That's it.
Now Sent mail is synced correctly, moving e-mail is done correct. Deleted e-mails are moved to Trash.
