I have my gmail acount synced to my phone. Question is this. Everytime i type a new message either from my phone or from my desktop. I always get a copy of my message in my inbox. Is there anyway that i can stop this from happening??
Thanks in advance!
If you use IMAP on both your phone and your desktop I don't believe you get it in your inbox. If you use pop3 you will get it in your inbox. I could be wrong, but I think that is what happens.
It's annoying, but there isn't anything we can do about it.
I use IMAP...all sent messages from phone appear in Sent_mail folder in Gmail.
disregard.

Hi there, I've searched quite a lot but there isn't much I could find regarding syncing with Outlook via activesync..
Like a lot of people I have a gmail account and download that via pop mail on my pc via outlook. I've also set up the same gmail account on my hermes. Now, how is outlook syncing meant to work exactly?
I can see that when synced, all my emails that arrive and are sent on my pc get copied to the "outlook" folder on my phone. Fine, I can view all my pcs messages on my phone.
However if I send any emails via gmail, these do not get copied to my PC's sent folder, and I can't see a way to get this to work. I cannot copy any messages from the gmail sent folder on the phone to the outlook sent folder on the phone. So I can't keep a tab or archive any messages I sent on my phone, on my PC.
If I use the 'outlook' account on my phone to send an email, it just waits on the outbox until I resync and then sends through my outbox email, right? Isn't that pretty pointless? I'm wanting the emails to be sent when I'm not ON my pc! So I can either send emails (but they won't sync) or get synced emails, but only if it sends when connected to my pc (pretty useless).
Does anybody have a way where I can send emails from my phone, using my gmail account so that it sends straight away, and the sent messages will be copied to my outlook sent messages upon syncing?
I realise that I could use an imap server to fix this but I don't really have access to one. I know google can keep a record of all sent mail, but there will still be holes in my outlooks sent items - I am looking for a solution that works with all pop mail accounts.
Thanks a lot!
FWIW, I usually get rid of my Outlook eMail account (it's so redundant ... I already received that mail in my OptOnline POP box) by first ensuring that the Messaging app is pointing to Text Messages, and then browsing to
HKLM->Software->Microsoft->Inbox->Svc
in a Registry Editor and deleting the entire key underneath that for "ActiveSync".
Then ... whenever I send mail (that I wish to keep a copy of) from my 8525, I BCC myself on it. Maybe there's a better method, but this procedure works OK for me.
Just remember (if you're gonna delete the Outlook Account through the registry edit) to make sure that Messaging is currently parked on a different account than the one you're deleting before making the reg change!
Hope this helps,

This is what I"m Interested in. When I send emails from my Tilt, I want them to save to my Sent box, Just Like a regular txt message. I have Mail2web email but they dont provide this feature for the free Account. I love mail2web but the no sent emails in the box is my only Gripe. Now to remedy this I tried setting up Gmail, But for some reason when I set up Gmail using Pop3 any outgoing mail I send will appear back in mt Inbox as Well as my sent Box( This is Very annoying). If I set up Gmail using Imap, nothing will get saved in the Sent Box....
Any Ideas or can anyone help me with this Bug in Gmail or a better way to set this up ?
As of yet I havent been able to fix this.
In outlook 2003+ on windows you can specify IMAP folders but as of yet on Winmo I havent been able to do this.
Ok I thought I was the only Idoit not getting this to Work ! It's annoying and I've been working on it for about a week.... I"m Puzzeled !
even the online version of gmail sends stuff back to your inbox... makes it like threaded messages.

I Dont mean Including the Orginal txt in the Email. I mean it will resend me my out-going Email As a New email in my Inbox ?
It Does this online as Well from an actually Computer ? I"ve never experienced this ?
Has anyone ever found a solution to this ?
sending is not handled by pop3 or imap both those protocols are only for recieving
both of them use smtp for sending mails
i'm using IMAP for my gmail access and the default is to not sync the sent folder, anything i send only resides on gmail itself, i don't get it showing in my inbox as well. Haven't tried setting sent to sync as well, i don't need to see what i have sent.
mail2web is aggrivating me, any other FREE accounts out there? It wont sync 2 save my life,...
OK, just gone into the folder management side of my PPC's gmail account and flaged Sent items for sync as well as my Inbox and hey presto they have all appeared. Had to make sure the folder at the top was checked and not the obvious sent folder but its synching my sent items.
To clarify my PPC gmail folder list looks like this:
Gmail
[Google Mail]​All Mail
Bin
Drafts
Sent Mail
Spam
Starred​
and below this i have folders for any categories i have created as well as the default Inbox. Checking the top Sent Itmes has synched it with gmail.
the gmail works fine for the main email
but when connecting to secondary accounts the default app sucks WM was much better!!
Try K9...
K9 is a better POP3/IMAP client now available from the marketplace.
still can't select multiple emails to delete, or simply empty the trashcan.
2 absolutely essentials that are pissing me off.
I just want to know if anyone has successfully gotten their Hotmail to work with the email client and how. This is really getting on my nerves.

Unless you have Hotmail Plus it won't work.
Yes, I too would like to get hotmail working. Does anyone know of any new advances with getting it to work on the G1? I have hotmail plus and it still doesn't work. It always has a connection error and or it downloads about 15 of my oldest messages and then has a connection error?
maybe someone can hack the gmail push email program and create a universal push email program
let me continue...
message saved as drafts remain in the drafts folder even after send the email out. connection errors galore. i've had messages will sit in the outbox for over 30 mins even though i have a connection and i can download new messages. can you even create folders for pop3? it is just crap, crap and more crap. google should be embarrassed.

I think both of you have issues not related to the G1. They sound like it is a user issue. I get notifications, I had to check them on, It autoupdates (I choose 1 hour) The layout seems fine. I know what has been read and what has not. You really can't forward a message until you have read the entire message. That would be like me quoting your post before it posted to the forum. Gmail and Outlook both save my messages as drafts, if I go back to that message and send it, it is still saved in the draft folder. However Gmail takes it a step further and saves my messages as drafts every 5 minutes until I sent it or save it for good. Connection errors are because of the network, and Can also cause the messages staying in your outbox. In fact with POP3 messages can act weird even if it has nothing to do with the client. POP3 can't create folders it just downloads the actual message. You need IMAP which is a lot better and has a lot more options. I think that would help most your problems. And I would check to make sure that your servers are receiving the correct information along with checking your settings for the correct information also.
Please report bugs!
If you've found bugs in K-9, please report them to us at http://code.google.com/p/k9mail .
The code was originally based on the built-in android Mail application, but we're making pretty quick progress on bugs and features considering that we just stepped into this codebase.
i think you are basing your post on your gmail mail, i am refering to pop3 accounts in particular. i don't use gmail, but it seems that people are saying that it works for the most part.
i got notifications the first couple of days for my pop3 email, then it stopped working and unselecting and resetting the notification does not turn it back on. i believe this is a known issue.
in my desktop outlook, or pocket outlook and also thunderbird, when a message is in my drafts folder and i eventually send that message out, it is moved from my drafts to the sent folder. the message is sent, it is no longer a draft.
why wouldn't i be allowed to create folders for pop3 email? imap just auto creates the directory structure you have on your mail server.
yes, i do know that connection errors are due to connection errors, but when messages sit in my outbox, while i send test messages to myself and i can receive them, that is not due to my phone network errors.
i will go and log things i see...i hope to see an improvement.
thanks
I agree that the email client is the worst part of this phone
I use POP3 but I hear people complaining the same way about IMAP.
How about something simple e.g. number of bloody messages coming in.
"Load more messages"
What the hell does that mean ? When has there EVER been a load more messages prompt in an email program. I've been using email since back in the days of Pine and I always have a sense of how many messages are in my inbox. Apparently not for the G1.
No easy way to sort messages - and the connection errors just go without saying.
Nick
totally agree about the "load more messages".....why not give you an option to pick how many it loads by default.?..... senseless

Don't need to hack it, gmail will push anything you want (well, most anything...)

This works because of the software gmail uses... not the software on your phone.
Push is a server side implication, while Pull is client side. So if you find a way to Pull email as well as gmail can push than you are on to something.
At least all of you are lucky enough to get your pop3 email setup. It won't even accecpt mine. I have Mediacom (mail.mchsi.com) and it won't even set my 2 mediacom email accounts up. Just says server connection error. My AT&T Tilt never had a problem setting these accounts up. Definately need something new for a pop3 email client. K-9 does the same thing as the default email client.

are you using the correct ports?
I got it to work. I never had to use SSL before. Not even in Outlook for this account or on my WM6.1. But setting the G1 to SSL mail sever did the trick. Now I'm just disgusted with how it handles mail, slow, does not display stuff, won't delete, incorrect un-read messages, read messages mark themselves unread everytime it checks the mail. I hope RC31 brings relief to these and other mail troubles (too many to remember).

It has been perfect for my mail, are you using pop3?
this has been my main complaint from day one.
Worst email app ever.
I collect my email from a POP3 server which works fine to a point.
However unlike the PC version of Outlook which collects the mail and retains it until it is deleted from the Inbox my PDA version is behaving as though it were connected to an IMAP server and removes the mail from the Inbox as soon as it is removed from the POP3 server.
I don't recall this happening when I first got the phone but can't be sure. Can anyone else confirm what happens with their POP3 mail ?
Ideally, I would like the messages I have downloaded to stay on the phone until I delete them manually which is what I thought used to happen.
Thanks
You can indeed set an option to do this. Can't remember exactly where but it's in the account settings somewhere. I'm using imap now so can check.
Under the tool/options tab, tick the box that says "Leave a copy of message on server"... I had the same problem until I discovered this. Hope that helps.

Many thanks for the replies.
The problem is actually the other way round. I can delete a message on the phone without it removing the message from the POP3 Server. But if I delete the message from the POP3 server it is removed from the phone as soon as I do a "Send and Receive". In other words the POP3 server seems to be behaving as though it were an IMAP server.
Can anyone confirm whether this happens with their POP3 server or is just mine? As I said I don't think it used to do that.
Thanks in advance.
On my phone I can't find the "leave a copy of message on server" tick box. And as soon as I download the message, read it, and press send/receive once more, the message is deleted both from the phone and from the server!! This renders the phone utterly useless for emails, since I want to download all messages to my PC whenever I get home. I don't need the messages I delete on the phone to remain on the server, but once I get home and receive the messages in Outlook, they disappear on the server and thus when I send/receive on the phone they're all gone from the phone inbox which is fine.
This worked fine on my original stock rom on the TouchHD, but since I flashed to a 6.5.5 ROM it's all messed up. I've tried 3 different 6.5.5 ROMs.
Any idea how to fix this?

Don't you need to have some type of setting, either on your device or with hotmail, to have the handset make changes to your actual email box?
I remember with a blackberry you could set up your account to listen strictly to your phone and what you tell it to delete versus the server. Try checking your hotmail settings to see if you're simply getting a copy on your device of an email or actually accessing and changing your email messages.
