Email Setup Q's - Touch CDMA General

Im trying to setup my email accnts and when going to advanced options there is an option that when the email is retrieved you can either:
Gmail Accnt:
1. Delete off the server or 2. Move it the trashcan.
I would like to know on some ROMS you can leave the mail on the server..and thats what I would like to do.
How can this be done since I only get the above two options???
Thanks for any input/suggestions.

are you using POP3 or IMAP?

Honestly it doesnt give me that option as well. I presume POP3. When I put in the address and password, the software automagically sets the settings for Gmail.
Rick

what you need to do is mistype your email address at the beginning of creating the link from to gmail - ie [email protected] - then click the box that says "set up my email manually" - then put in all the data for IMAP for gmail.
All is well after that

It's added by Yahoo, not by your client, so there's no way to disable it. Get an account with someone else?

I had the same issue with my Polaris. I can't find the resource that told me how to fix it, so I'll just tell you:
1) when creating the new account, DO NOT enter your gmail address in the first page of the wizard; instead type something like [email protected] so that the wizard doesn't auto setup for gmail.
2) point your browser to this gmail help page and use the information from the Standard Instructions section.
3) two VERY IMPORTANT things to remember!! I learned them the hard way
a) be SURE to disable IMAP and enable POP. The link to do this is in Step 1 of the Standard Instructions. Before enabling POP, though, if it says POP is already enabled, DISABLE IT FIRST, then click [Save Changes] then go back to the page and THEN enable POP and [Save Changes].
b) remember to ENABLE SSL for both the incoming and outgoing mail servers. you have to use the port numbers provided, but there's no place to enter them, so enter them like this in the server name fields:
POP3 server name: pop.gmail.com:995
SMTP server name: smtp.gmail.com:465 -or- smtp.gmail.com:587
4) after the wizard is finished and your new account is created, go back and edit the account and enter your correct gmail email address, and it will allow you to change it without goofing things up.
Hope this helps! I have to do this every time I change ROM's, which seems to be every few weeks these days, and the above instructions work for me.
Cheers!! --Jesse
Should THIS INSTRUCTION not be the one for setting up an imap google account on WM6?
I didnt try it myself til now cos my HD will only arrive tomorrow morning. So no garantee if it will work or not. Only looked up in the Gmail Help Section for Settings for a WM6 Client over imap.
Give me some feedback if I am wrong.

You can go to the Gmail help page and get all the settings to set up a pop account also. I used pop for years but now that I've tried IMAP, I'll never go back because to me it is so much better. I can see all of my emails sent and received on all of my computers, no more manual syncing. Anyway I guess you have your reasons for preferring pop over imap. Good luck.

Yes, that was the page I was looking for and couldn't find, although it was for imap config, so I'm glad I explained it.. Thanks!!

Never knew it worked that way. I prefer POP because it just seems to take way too long to check for new IMAP mail because it has to load in all the folders, then load in all the headers, then load any new messages. I thought IMAP was supposed to be the new better way, but for me it just seems to take much longer, and I only use gmail on my mobile and from web browsers. I'm open to suggestion, though, especially if I'm missing something that would benefit me

You're right that it does take longer to get imap mail on a PPC than pop, but the difference is only 1 or 2 seconds.
Benefit example: I am at home on my laptop and send out several emails with information that I found on the web etc. I then go out and have my phone with me, I forget something that needs to be added to the already sent emails. Gmail IMAP allows me to look in my sent folder and reference the emails. Gmail also will fetch emails from other accounts so that you have them all in one place. You can even reply to emails from other accounts and have them sent out showing that they came from the original account. I promise I don't work for Google I just like my IMAP email.

That does sound handy! I appreciate you taking the time to answer. As for gmail performing 'proxy' services for your other email accounts, that sounds way too cool. I'm going to look into that... Thanks again.. Jesse
Just a note on Gmail Imap: In the U.S. Imap version only for the moment you can activate Advanced Imap Controls in Labs, and then choose the Imap folders you want to see under Settings. And in Forwarding and POP/Imap you can configure to acutally immediately delete messages, not flag them for deletion. In order to see and test the Labs offerings you can change your default language to English, and revert back if you like.

Windows live and pop3?

Hello again fellow Touch 3g owners,
So ive come across this article and i was wondering if anyone has tried this. Im not able to try it with the standard email application for the touch 3g. I have been using the windows live application to sync my emails but i dont like it because it only syncs emails i havent read and i think its kinda stupid to have to open another application just to sync ur emails. Would gladly appreciate any input on this.
EDIT:
Ok so ive got it working by following one of the comments of the article. The email program automatically detects settings for these 3 domains: live.com, hotmail.com and msn.com. You do not want this to happen, so what you have to do is enter a fake domain like [email protected] and then enter the settings found in the article. Remember to tick the box for ssl and authentication for both ingoing and outgoing in the advanced settings. when ur done you can change the accountname to ur real email. this worked for me (accessed my emails, havent tried sending yet but i dont think that will be a problem).
just an update
So ive got it working, however its not to my liking. It works great exept for a few things. One is that i cant preview the messages in touchflo, it shows when and from who but not a preview of the content. Second is that mails already read elsewhere it downloads as unread. And last but not least, it takes a long time to sync. So if any of you has found a workaround pleas let me know.
Why don't you just configure all your pop3 in the mail tab. There you can easily and quickly send/receive or sync.

I configured my mails (including hotmail) using the Mail Tab. Once configured it gives the icons on the right as to which accounts I am looking at. And when I tap Menu - Send/receive, the individual icons (accounts) shows how many e-mails have come in (still unread) for each account (if any).
Follow this link http://www.ghacks.net/2009/01/22/enable-hotmail-pop3-in-all-countries/ for hotmail configuration.
When first configuring, do not put [email protected][U]hotmail.com[/U], put something else (e.g. [email protected][COLOR="Red"]zzxxyy.com[/COLOR]). Configure manually, do not let it search. The rest follow instructions from above link. Once completed, then update - which gives fail. Then Tap Menu-Tools-Options-tap the hotmail email acc - and input all the correct info from there (the actual account login name, password.) Tap send/receive... Wallllla !!!!

Well, it depends on the beholder. I configured it in less than 5 minutes, just once. Well that's the only way now, that I know and would like to share. Others may have a much more simpler, easier and less complicated way. I don't know.

Googlemail ( resolved)

Can someone please give me some simple instructions on how to set up googlemail push. I have googlemail set up and email frequency box is set at 5 minutes, it gives no option for push. I have not found the option to sync contacts etc. Maybe I am having another senior moment!! Thank you.
Check out the beta section on google sync website -That should give you the info you need. I have not got it to work yet though.

if you create an new email account, don't select the gmail option. You need to create an active sync (exchange) connection... then you have push mail. instructions are indeed on the google sync beta page....
Many thanks, I will head over there now
in activesync app, type your gmail email and password, server is m.google.com ., go thru options for cal, contacts, and email, frequency, and peak times.

Now got the phone to push, new problem is that the notification sound does not work with it at present, could this have anything to do with still having the ordinary googlemail on the phone?? Do I need to remove it????
Getting in a mess here I deleted the original googlemail, now I have none.

dont think so. I prefer using activesync for google contacts and calendar, and setting up gmail but without push in the email inbox. You should get email noises, no matter if both are there. Go to home screen, settings tab, menu, all settings, sounds and notifications, tab sounds, scroll to new email and check options are ticked as needed.
I can't get the push to work despite having hard reset the phone a couple of times. ( now got to get my music and photo's back on)
Contacts not so bad as they will sync with myphone.
I think I am going to have to go back to normal google syncing every 5 minutes. unless someone has another solution.
Thanks for your help
it may be your network not allowing it. make sure proxy is off in connections (settings, all settings, connections, connections, manage , edit, proxy)

Can you maybe post a small howto on the setup (srver and client site)?
I think that this would help a lot of users who would like to have this!
If I use GMail, but use my own domain instead of @gmail.com, can I still do Push Email?

Your provider will need to support this.
It's NOT a normal thing they do.
Only "free" push providers that I know of are Gmail and Hotmail (live)

Sure!
This is what worked for me after lots of attempts.
I deleted the original IMAP googlemail account
Iwent to activesync
Put in my googlemail address ie [email protected]
Password xxxxxxx ignore tha fact that it then adds extra digits.
Save password
leave domain name blank
username will come up as santa, this needs changing to [email protected]
edit server will come up and this is m.google.com
Choose the data you want to sync
Choose schedule as items arrive
The forst sync I had to press send and receive thereafter it worked.
What was confusing me before was the fact that I had the phone charging in the computer as I set up, it would not sync until I unplugged it. After unplugging it only pushed new mail not the mail already on the server.
I hope this makes some sense I am very new to this.
Ok.. Looks easy. Did you set anything in your gmail account on the server?
Also. I'm not sure if thats your true e-mail address, but if so, and if you do not like spam, you better remove it from your post!
Lot's of spam bots WILL get your e-mail address, and use it for sending spam to you!
Ok I managed to get it working after a bit, but syncing still seems slow. Also when I send a message from the phone it shows up in my mail client inbox anyway to stop this happening.

Outlook mail problem

Hello,
Every time I open an email in my HD2, it deletes it from the server. In outlook it's easy to do, but on the HTC I can't find where to configure to leave the messages on the server. Can you help, please?
Thank you.

im 100% convinced there is an option to leave messages on server, because i ran seven email accounts when i was on winmo, and they all left them on the server until i sent/recieved from outlook.
Edit the settings for the email account, its definitely there, im sure.

If you are using POP, go into the account settings and keep hitting NEXT until you get to the screen with "Automatic Send/Receive". There is a link to Advanced Settings at the bottom. The advanced setting screen has options on deleting messages.
I don't think there is any choice with IMAP; it automatically deletes the emails. I don't use the Exchange server, so I don't know what it does.
