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.

Outlook Accounts is not displayed on manila interface

When I configure my outlook account to sync with my server(Exchange 2007) it does not show up on the Mail Tab, I see only No Accounts there. When I add Hotmail, GMail and Other POP3/IMAP accounts they all show up, bu the Outlook does not.
If I set the Outlook account to sync with a PC instead of the server it works with no problems, but syncing with PC is not an option for me. I ahve to sync it directly with my Push enabled Exchange account in order to receive my mail instantly when mobile without a PC.
Anyone have this problem? Any clues or workarounds?
PS: It does seem to be a problem with Manila Interface,and not with the ROM I have. I have tried with several ROM's but no chance, but it is working in the old HTC Home without any problems.

I have the same problem with Manila 2D MODIFIED ROM DXIA2 (FRANLOV). I tried to modify the REG FILE without succes.

i've the same problem

Ditto same problem for me.
I've moved on to the Onyx WM6.5 21222 build. Mail works but i really prefer the manilla interface.
Any work arounds yet?

No Accounts Issue
I've got the same tab "No Accounts" issue

Sounds like a registry issue from here, it might take some comparing entries between roms.?

Interesting as I dig...
So the tab shows "18" or however many current "new" emails I have.
But when I press on the tab it comes back with "No Accounts".
When I run Autosync and the emails come in, if I hit "view" it goes straight to the Inbox and works great.
If I go to Programs - Messaging, it goes straight to the Inbox and works great.
I just can't get Outlook to get recognized in the tab.
I poked around in the registry but didn't figure out any apparent tweaks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've used dsixda Onyx's ROMS for a while and the latest 6.5's don't let me use a browser, and the 6.1's don't let me use this Manila 2d email tab.

No outlook mails displayed in the envelop
Same here, outlook mails does get synced over-the-air, but not displayed on the Mails tab. Any help??
- SKBG

And again - think this will be more common now GMail have enabled push via exchange...

Any news to this? I can't reproduce why the outlook account is missing now but I know it was shown before. I don't want to hard reset because of this sh*t.

Blackberry Vs WM Exchange mail, Multiple accounts in MS Exchange mail

I've used BBC on My HTC TP2 for over a month and then WM Exchane sync with a gmail account also.
Although BBC provides a good option for push email, but it fails to provide
1. HTML mails
2. Links don't work within emails
3. In India with Vodafone in Delhi, HTC devices cannot have more than 3 email accounts.
4. You need to have multiple APN's at least 2, One for BBC, other for routine net surf.
5. With device like HTC TP2, HD2 etc without a D pad, next/ previous mail function annoying, close current email & then click next one to open
However I find WM Pushmail exchange better.
1. HTML mails
2. External links do work
3. PC type email interface
4. With devices w/o Dpad also, swipe across the screen changes to next email.
5. With a bit of work around you can have multiple emails on Exchange sync, with gmail, working as push mail
Create a new gmail account. In WM Activesync (disconnect from pc), in server settings create new exchange a/c with
Server address : m.google.com
u/name: [email protected]
password: your p/w
in Server setting choose only emails to sync.
You are done with creating exchange account to sync.
Now go to Schedule in Active sync
Set peak times as : As items arrive
Set Off-peak times as : As items arrive/ as per your choice
on bottom of this page Adjust peak times option is there, in which you may customize your peak hours.
Now on your PC login in your gmail account
Enter settings of gmail account
For the email accounts with pop/ smtp options available
go to Accounts and Import, here you can add accounts to
Check mail using POP3 ption, select the desirable setting
For the email accounts without pop/ smtp options
go settings of that email, set forwarding to your this gmail id
Next step is to differentiate emails form different accounts say 5 accounts.
In gmail creat 5 labels indicating import/ forwarded email accounts name such as dinesg gm, dinesh yahoo etc.
Next in Gmail filter options create filter/ rule for each imported account
as
Matches: to[email protected])
Do this: Skip Inbox, Apply label "XXXX GM", Never send it to SpamCheck
Creat rule for all 5 accounts
In Gmail activate Multiple Inbox
Set pane 0 to Search Query as the label created " XXXX GM"
and same for rest of email accounts with respective labels.
Now Gmail stores all incoming msgs from different account with different labels, treated as folders by WM Exchange servers.
On your WM PPC go to Inbox of email exchange account created.
Click Menu> Tools > Manage Folders
(Sync at least once before this step)
You'll see all created labels for various email accounts on your PC in gmail account as separate folders in Manage Folder option. Check all the folders you want to sync
And VOILA you have multiple emails synced as PUSH mails to your WM device with any special Blackberry Connect service, no PINS etc.
Additionally it works on Normal GPRS/ EDGE connection delivering HTML emails
Any people say Windows Mobile or Phone now-a-days are waste of money. No they are the most customizable piece of design available.
Enjoy

Hotmail Won't Automatically Send/Receive, But Other Email Accounts Will

Hey all,
I'm hoping someone out there will be able to answer this one relatively quickly. I'm running the Elegancia ROM and use the email application which is cooked into that rom - I believe it is the standard for most HD2 roms.
I have access to two of my email accounts through the program: Hotmail and Yahoo! I set up my Yahoo account quite ordinarily, by going through Add New Account and then banging in my login details. Sweet. Using this setup method, I was able to select the Send/Receive Every Five Minutes option before finishing the setup wizard. All is gravy there. The emails come like clockwork.
To get the Hotmail account to work, however, I had to install Windows LIVE for Windows Mobile. While I did this, and am able to access my Hotmail emails using this email program, the emails do not come automatically - I am forced to manually open the program and push "Send/Receive" before any come down the pipeline. For the life of me, I can't find any way to just turn on some kind of Send/Receive automation like with the Yahoo account. The "normal" way of doing this (Menu - Account Settings - and then select the email account you want to fiddle with) is a no go: the Hotmail and Outlook accounts are both greyed out, and thus not available for modification in this way.
If anyone knows how to switch this particular function I need on, please weigh in. Thanks in advance.
-D.

got a solution for you, mate.
Go to Start>E-mail>pick your email account>click menu>Tools>options>Tap on account to change setting> then change it there

really appreciate your suggestion. i think i found the windows live sync options using your guidance. no new emails yet, but i should know if it worked soon. thanks a mill for weighing in.was a seriously annoying issue.

how to send receive immediately, as you receive a mail
