My HTC Touch HD is configured to get my mail from 2 mail accounts and also 1 RSS feed. It is set to check every 5 minutes for e-mail, and RSS feed once per hour.
Most of the time, when the phone is on the table, it does not give any notification until I pick it up. Then the new e-mail or RSS sound is played. This happens only when the phone is on the table, not moved. When I am moving and having the phone in my pocket, it works fine. Is this having to do with the G Sensor? Can anyone tell me ?
Thanksss!!!

OK had my baby nearly a week now (1 week old Saturday).
I'd say definately well worth the outlay.
My e-mail is bugging me though.
Firstly, I have configured her to check for e-mails every 60 mins. Well it just ain't happening. I reckon she checks for my e-mails 2-3 times a day max. Of course I can go in at anytime and connect but, I want it to be automatic.
Secondly, my homermail wav file (e-mail notification works fine on SPV and xda 1) don't work all the time ? it plays sometimes but not all the time.
Lasty, when the server does check for mail, if I have cleared my pop3 account, through my pc then the nect check it downloads nothing and clears out all my e-mails, even if they are unread.
It's like if there is nothing on the server, it cleans my inbox on my xda 2.
I can understand why it happens but surely there are settings to prevent it (i can't find em). I like to keep some e-mails in my inbox, cus they can be useful. Sure they are on my pc but I want em locally and I don't want to sync my emails just my calender and tasks.
Cheers, Shire
PS still luv my baby, maybes I need a better e-mail application ?
I had this problem with my previous Pocket PC phones but never found a fix for it. My inbox (aka Messaging) is set to 'Connect and check for messages every 60 minutes'. Unfortunately, it does not check every hour but maybe once every few hours.
I am using SPB Pocket Plus and set the Messaging to exept from closing - so the Messaging is always up and running.
Anyone have some ideas or fix to this? My old Treo 600 was extremely reliable when it came to checking for emails every hour.
Also, does anyone know if I can change the interval from 60 minutes to 90 instead?
Thanks.
I 've noticed that too. The fact is, that if you have more then one accounts in the messaging, and you always do in fact, since ActiveSnc and SMS is always there. The software only checks email in certain interval when the appropriate account is active. So, for exmple if you have sent SMS to someone and this profile is active when you close or minimize Messaging, it will NOT check another email account
Is there an add-on or a tweak where i can set times when it should check for mail
On my treo i could set it so it would only check for mail every 15mins between 19:00 and 08:00
Cheers
No you can't you can only set it to check every x minutes.
I am looking into buying a different mail client for my S100 as the one that comes with windows is crap.
I used to have profimail on my P910i which was great as it allowed a lot more confirguration and also HTML emails.
Cheers
Let me know when you get a decent mail app. All the one i've tried have been shtt
WebIS Mail is Great.
WebISmail is something I have just downloaded to try out. Will give it a go and let you know
don't think it lets you do this
if this can help you there is something under "Mobile Sync Schedule" that includes even peak times and roaming.
I'm using it daily but with an Exchange sync, don't know if you can do the same with a pop3
WebIS mail
Been trialing WebIS mail for a few days now and very impressed by it. Configuration is pretty good as far as mail accounts and sync times and just to have true HTML incoming mail is brilliant.
Pity you don't have HTML outgoing but we can't ask for the world.
I have it installed on my SD card and its a little slow but seems to take up quite a bit of space. Pity really that you can't uninstall the pre-installed clients and replace them with the better products. :lol:
i've been having problem with downloading emails. when i mark one or two for download, then i click on the send and recieve button, on the bottom right this blue status bar kinda thingy appears and to the left of it theres a 1/25 does it mean its trying to download 25 emails? and then after a good 2 or 3 minutes it gives up, giving me some error. i thing i'm gonna swith to profimail cuz i used to use that on all my other S60 phones and i'm satisfied with it.
I'm sure it won't be hard for a decent programmer make a lil addon.
Phone Alarm has something like that where you can set the times for peak and off peak calls etc.
Any decent programmer about??

From what I can see of WebIS mail it says 1/25 but its only checking against the server what it has already downloaded. So it maybe that's it already downloaded the 25 mails on the server it just has to check first.
So far no problems with WebIS mail and very impressed by moving mail directories. I have been deciding where to store the software and so moving direcrtories is a breeze.
Hi. I am using an unbranded Hero on Voda in the UK and everything seems to be more or less fine, except... I have a strange email problem.
I have set up my POP3 account to check and deliver mail every five minutes (I don't use Gmail for this) and it works absolutely flawlessly except that every few days it simply stops receiving. The phone seems to poll as usual, but the mail just doesn't arrive, although it is there and later arrives in my Outlook inbox on my PC.
I have made no changes, installed no new apps or really done anything at all before the mail stops arriving. The only way around it is to remove the account and set up a whole new one, which is a pain - the main problem, though, is that I miss emails until such a time as I realise that it has stopped working.
Email is VITAl to me - does anyone have an idea as to what I can do to get around this please?
Many thanks, in advance.
download K-9 mail from the market place.
Try it using this program. If it contniues to fail after a few days, the issue is with the network or the server and we know where to look for issues.
If it works, then it's the HTC Mail program that is at fault, but you now have a program which does not have the fault and you can now receive your emails ok.
Are you killing any tasks, I have found that you need the HTC mail program running for it to poll for the mails.

I am only killing Tweet and Stocks, but otherwise nothing. Can the mail programme turn off itself for any reason? Besides, it is polling - just not actually collecting anything. Many thanks!
Same problem
I know its an old thread but I didn't want to start a new one yet.
I'm having the same problem with my BT email. Its OK for a week or so then just stops fetching the emails from the server. I delete the account, re create it and it works fine again.
Any thoughts?
I've noticed that mine sometimes doesn't alert when it downloads the email, I get an alert but the actual sync time is 10-20 minutes before.

This has got so bad that I have had to 'turn off' the HTC mail function and downloaded the free k9 app, which is actually better, as it automatically deletes messages from the phone when you delete them from the server (or read them on your desktop.) I recommend it...
have you checked whether your trash folder is full? I was getting the same, and then once I went in and delted all the mail from the trash folder, I started getting mails again. There doesn't seem to be a way of automatically deleting mails from the trash folder?
sorry guys if this is a question thats been asked a million times but search bar didnt actually bring anything up
My email tile does not update..i have 2 set for different bt internet accounts and the live tile never seems to tell me when mail has arrived. Infact when i go in and check my mail i can see that there is new mail in there but it actually looks like its been viewed already (not highlighted etc)
Is there some settings etc that i need to change or is there a way around it?
also i dont seem to get any notification tone when i get any notifications, do i need to enable it and where?
sorry for the stupid questions but just got the device and moved across from android

Not that it matters, but what emails are you using? I have 4 emails and if I leave them as Live Tiles they will all update...especially after the initial setup.
First things I would do is....reboot the device...power off /on is good enough. Then check to see that you do have an update frequency set. While in mail, on the bottom right hand side of the screen, enter the menu, then settings, then account settings...make sure the frequency is set. Finally, for notification sounds, go into device settings. From the Home screen scroll right, then down to settings.....choose the sounds settings, scroll down. See if a sound is set for email. many times its set to none.
If this does not help, remove your email accounts, reboot and try again. I've never had my public emails fail in WP7. Corporate, yes sometimes....but never, Hotmail, gmail, yahoo.
thanks for the reply
the device is brand new (arrived today)
i have 2 personal email accounts set up both with bt internet.
i.e [email protected]
i have set the checks to be every 30mins on the accounts and have also set a notification tone now (thankyou) still however i never get any indication on the tile that there is mail.
The phone has the latest software as this was the first thing it did when i connected it to zune.
does it matter that i changed the name of the account? i.e how it is displayed on the tile? it first came up with 'btinternet 1' and btinternet 2 for the other....i just changed them to 'home' and 'darren'
i have also tried removing the battery and restarting the device several times but still same problem.
i wonder....do you think that the fact i have my iphone 4 receiving the mail also that this might have something to do with it? hmm..now i think about it i think it might....im going to try and stop the iphone from checking for mail and just leave my windows device doing it...see what happens then.
If you happen to check your email from any other device/PC/Mac other than the WP7 phone, then obviously you wont see any new mail notification. But if Windows Phone happens to sync before you read in other devices, then you will see it. Also see if your iPhone is set to mark as read when a message is pulled into it (not sure ..just a guess).
Does your DVP at least show all the new mails as read when you go into inbox?
Also try setting the sync to 'as items arrive' or 5 min and see if that makes a difference.

thanks for the reply
yes the dvp does show my mail in the inbox and does show it as read allthough i havent actually read it on the device.
also, under the sync settings the minimum poll time is 15mins (how often it will check the server) dont see an 'as items arrive option' like push email etc.
quite frustrating really as this is a really basic function....i can kinda understand it with the 3rd party applications and other live tiles but not the 'basics'

This seems to indicate that some other Mobile Phone/PC (Outlook ?) is also configured to read the mail and its set to mark as read when downloaded. Or check your mail settings on the server (btinternet account) if such a option is enabled by default.
