Hey,
I set up hotmail with the email client on my recently installed 1.41ADP G1. It seems to have problems when setting up with 3G, but works fine on wifi. Is it possible to make it work without wifi? Says error connecting to TSL or smt. with the outgoing server.
When it's loading my mails, suddenly 10 or 20 new empty mails are shown, no names, no subjects and all at the same time. Happens almost everytime when I open the email client. When I open it, the mail gets stuck at loading. Somehow they delete themselves, probably during synching I guess, but takes a long time.
This also happens with some of my own mails. Totally random. Maybe the empty ones with only attachments.
Also when I hit to load new messages, it stops and says retry or connection error. Usually when I'm on 3G. I can send mail just fine when I'm on wifi, but on 3G it seems not to work or maybe it just needs time.
Anyone having problems with this? I don't use hotmail alot on my G1 and I experience these problems just recently. Maybe there were already problems like this before.
Just a random thought, dont use hotmail. or just divert them to a gmail account.

I use to have gmail working fine, then all of a sudden it stopped working one day. I've since deleted and re-added the account several times now and still nothing. It says it connects, and it takes the time to download all of the headers etc. however nothing shows up in the inbox? Is there a way to browse the system files to view if it's actually downloading the headers at all?
Weird...The exact same thing happened to me. I did what you did...created a new account on the phone and it says downloading headers, but nothing appears in the Inbox. I'm stumped and a little ticked off that since it was working so well, I started to rely on it more than I should.
use smtp rather than imap. works fine
There is no imap feature for google mail, you have to use pop3, which is what I use. Regardless it was working fine before... now it just doesn't work at all.
Welcome to the world of gmail. Now that the dust has settled, people are starting to see that this really is a beta.
My advice would be to wait patiently. There is probably nothing you can do, it's an issue with gmail. I have had all sorts of problems with gmail, especially with pop3. I reckon it will sort itself out soon enough.
Did you double check how much you set it to download from the message (The screen where you pick to download either headers or full messages) and made sure that require ssl and outgoing mailserver requieres authentication are checked?. It sometimes doesn't work for me, but it's cause of my GPRS connection, I have the $6 t-zones manually set up. Sometimes when I'm trying to check it it won't open the connection, but if I go into connections and open the connection manually it works fine. That's not very common place though.
When I used gmail pop3 it always seemed buggy (on the wizard...), my solution was to have gmail forward a copy of all mail to a free mail2web exchange acc't, and it then gets pushed to the phone. Works flawlessly for me, however, deleting messages read in one place won't effect the other, and outgong mail from the wizard will be from your mail2web address (there may be a way to spoecify a diff sending address, not sure...)
I know this is not really the answer to your problem, but It is what I did...
my prob. seemed to be to many msgs
i just changed the pop setting that says"all mail"or "just mail from now on" to just from now on and it seems to be working, before i had 249 headers to display, i also changed storage to my SD
bhang
I also forward my gmail to mail2web, and tried to setup mail2web on my wizard so that the return address was gmail. No love. I called mail2web and was told that none of their plans (free or not) supported this feature :-(
directpush
There is a gentleman on this site who has offered to setup people on an exchange server that he has setup. It's free, but he does take donations. He set it up for me so that the address that shows up when I send or reply from my MDA is my gmail. all I had to do was forward my gmail to the new exchange account. you might be able to find it by searching port88.org
I set the pop settings to email from today on out or w/e and now my gmail is working =/
For me Gmail auto configs. All I have to put in is my gmail account and it sets everything up automatically and I just have to put in my password. Never had a problem.
I set the pop settings to email from today on out or w/e and now my gmail is working =/
i had this problem once before... i had to go into gmail and turn off pop then turn it back on... after that it worked fine....
Anyone else here have their emails sent from the web client show up on the inbox on their device? How do you get rid of that... One suggestion was a filter but the phone doesnt support filters, and I dont want to add 3rd party pop 3 software as I can scroll through text messages etc. with the standard mailing software.
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.

Hi, ALL
I'm having problem with downloading email. I scheduled to download email over GPRS from my GMAil account every 15 minutes. But it does not happen ! I know that network connection is fine, because I can download email MANUALLY w/o a problem. Also Opera, RSS and many other GPRS related apps - all work fine. It is just scheduling.
I was wondering if somehow when my phone goes into sleeping mode it stops email polls ?
Is there any way to resolve that ?
Not sure if its a Gmail thing? This also happens on my C905, but then suddenly starts working again?
Dont have a reason for it though....
I'm sure this is not GMail only. I have POP3 on YahooMail and same thing.
I tried built-in email client on HD, I tried FlexMail 4 - same story
I'm using a simple HTC mail windget (1x1), and I have the email account set to check for mail every 30 minutes. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
The mail is sure checked when the phone is on or when I go into the mail program manually, but when the phone is off, regardless of whether the mail program is running in the background - it's intermittent.
The only difference from stock settings - 3G mobile data is not always on.
On nexus one, this works just fine.
Oh yeah, this is for pop3 and hotmail accounts.
Oh yeah, and I tried k9, but it was superbuggy - creating phantom emails, then deleting some of my hotmail emails etc.
Any clues on how to trick the phone to check emails regularly on schedule?
K-9 is really giving me a lot of grief with "no subject" problems (though it checks mails properly like clockwork).
Hi,
I have been my Yahoo Mail since pocketpc days. I added Yahoo Mail in the Mail tab and set to auto receive every 30mins to check mail. However, ever since I start using HD2, I have been experiencing this error of receiving all the mails in my Yahoo account. Example, I have set to receive mails up to 3 days old, however, my device will download all the mails in my Yahoo account to the very first mail that I have since years ago. As a results, thousand of old mail bombed my phone and it resulted in a laggy and almost hanging device. Anyone here experience this problem b4 ? How do I go about solving this ? Thanks
Added : This problem does not happen everytime. It happens randomly...
you need to go to settings in your inbox and change options from download all to what you want...3 days....1 week ....1 month! hope that helps
yahoo sucks with windows mobile why not switch to a email provider with active sync capabilities like gmail or hotmail. that way it shows mail instantly. but i think it gets better battery life vs checking every 30 mins

hi,
thanks for ur prompt reply. I have set to 3 days. However, randomly it will receive all mails in the account. I have no idea why. As I am posting now, my phone has received all my mails again. It was set as 3 days. But I have mails dated years ago .. this is so irritating. Anyone else knows why ?
I'm experiancing the same problem, I tried even to set up the Yahoo mail manuely, but the phone will still upload randomly all email in my account, thats almost 4000 emails.
I noticed that it happens only when an alarm reminder is on snooze.
Same problem but even worse...
Yahoo Mails inability to work with the HD2 will drain my battery over night bc active synch will be running all night long trying to connect and disconnect to yahoo mail. Ive abandoned yahoo mail all together. I dont know enough to figure out who is to blame here, WinMo or Yahoo but the bottom line is Yahoo mail doesnt work properly on the HD2 results in lag, full inbox downloading, freezing, eats up all the resources heats the phone up to max and kills the phone, its just not worth using yahoo anymore
The thing about changing the update frequency has nothing to do with how many emails it downloads or its inability to set up a smooth connection to the yahoo server. It just buggy and simply doesnt work with any sort of reliability in fact its worse than unreliable its actually a liability bc I have to spend an hour every few days deleting the email account just to restore functionality to my phone. Takes like 20 minutes literally for WinMo to delete an account. Totally lags the phone takes forever...
