Hi,
Does the HTC Mail application support IMAP4? And can you add Gmail to HTC Mail with IMAP Idle?
- RasmusJV
It does support IMAP but for some horrid reason they haven't given you the option to change the IMAP prefix path, so can become quite unless if all your folders are sub folders of the inbox.
As for IMAP idle even if it was in the email client it probably wouldn't work
more annoyingly from my point of view, it's only picking up a subset of my subfolders, and it's missing the most important one I have apart from my inbox

I really need some help here.
I have a WM6 Moto Q9m. My challenge is with email, and notifications. First of all, I am using ActiveSync just fine with Exchange 2003 (soon to be 2007 ). I have configured a second email account for POP3 to a mailbox that I need to monitor 24x7. Here is what I can not figure out:
1. On the home screen (default vzw profile) I have the email shortcuts for each account to include "email (outlook)" SMS, MMS, and VMail. I do not have, nor can figure out how to get a shortcut for my POP3 mailbox. When I get a new email to my pop3 inbox, I get an audio notification, but I can not see at a glance how many items are unread in that pop3 mailbox like I can in the "Email" shortcut. In WM5, the pop3 mailbox would show on the home screen in addition to the default outlook mailobx.
2. I would really like to change the audio notification to be different for the pop3 mailbox, than the default outlook mailbox. As I am monitoring the pop3 mailbox 24x7, I would like to have a "pager" sound to differentiate the pop3 email notification from the default email notification.
I know there is someone that can shed some light here. I have searched the registry but can not figure these out! Thank You!
I am using HTC Touch Dimaond2.
I have configured all my email accounts(Yahoo,Gmail and Hotmail) in my HTC Touch Diamond2.
Whenever, I am clicking the Send/Receive option, it's getting downloaded to my inbox.
But in my actual yahoo inbox I have more mails and in the HTC touch Diamond2 I am NOT having all the mails.
I have created many sub folders and many mails are inside that folders in my actual yahoo account, but in my handset the folders are there, but no mails inside the folders.
For my Gmail account, it's not all sync up my account and it's showing connecting...log in... and disconnected.. but no mails are downloded to my handset. And inbox is showing 0 items, whereas my actual gmail account has hundreds of mails
Hotmail account it's working but I don't have any folders in hotmail and need to check on this.
Please help on how to download all the mails to my mobile. Any settings need to be done for it..?

Check your e-mail settings and make sure it is set to download ALL past messages and remove any size limitations.
Also, watch the default yahoo settings as the outgoing server puts SMTP.mobile.yahoo.com and you must remove .moblie to send correctly (at least in my experience)
Lastly, I would suggest setting up gmail as an exchange server using m.google.com as server address, no domain. Then if you are able, you can forward all mail accounts to gmail, which has a better SPAM filter and then you only need one account.
Hope this helps.
Does the default email client on the Epic have the ability to view images in emails?
I'm searching for a "Display Pictures/Images" button or option but I can't find one. All of my emails that are HTML based look like crap.
What am I missing?
It works for me out of the box. Perhaps your mail server is converting the email before sending them to the device. What type of email account are you connecting to?
It is happening on both my Exchange server and my Hotmail. Both are setup as "Corporate" email accounts in Android.
Have you done sync from those accounts before with another phone and had html work?
I done some more research and it appears to be a short coming of the version of EAS (Exchange Active Sync) that Microsoft choose to implement (2.5).
http://www.liveside.net/main/archiv...-no-html-mail-in-wm-6-xx-and-our-own-faq.aspx
From what I've read it appears that the protocol disables the show images/HTML email functionality in the mail client.
I guess my Exchange account (2010) does work correctly. Just the Hotmail.
I might change Hotmail back to hot being EAS so that I can view HTML emails. I have to research that.
I see. I figured the problem was on the serverside. Hotmail I can't not think hotmale when I hear that anymore.
So now I gotta ask... is there a better way to check hotmail from Android than using the EAS?
Hey
I use the Thunderbird client on my PC to manage my emails from 4 different accounts. The same four accounts have been setup on my DHD's email client.
I want to be able to synchronize the emails on my Thunderbird client with the ones on my DHD. As a result my DHD email client gets the update email list from all four accounts depending on my emails lying in my Thunderbird client. How would I do that ?
Cheers
MJ
Check out if your E-Mail Provider is capable of providing e-mail via IMAP.
With IMAP instead of POP your Mails are stored online (make sure that mails can be stored online for a unlimited time) + offline (if you like).
Thy will be synced at each login (or 5min or so, depending on the settings in your mail client).
I use IMAP with three e-mail accounts via two pcs, two notebooks, a tablet and, of course, my DHD (K-9 Mail)
I have four email accounts (google, hotmail, Univeristy, Work)
Googlemail can do IMAP.
So how do I set this up ?
How do you force the email client to always Load More Details or always show the complete email with full html. It initially shows up in txt, and I always have to click load more details. I want it to load details by default.
Thanks!
First of all, you can set how much email size you want to retrive in email settings. Assume you aleady set it to 'All', I'd guess you're encountering this issue receiving from Hotmail accounts. If so, this is a work around for Exchange sync deficiency on Hotmail server. Hotmail ActiveSync protocol does not officially suppor HTML email at all (I know it is lame for a MS server) at the declared protocol level. To work around this issue, email clients have to ignore the declared ActiveSync protocol version and go ahead assume it supports HTML anyway. This is how iOS and Windows Phone 7 works today. Samsung/Google seems to take a more conservative approach that it let you to force it to display HTML by click on the 'Load more details' button. If it is an true Exchange 2007 or later server, you don't need to click (and won't see) that button.
MS posted some length excuses about why it can't make Hotmail server compatible with ActiveSync 2.5 (which supports HTML email) protocol while Google has no problem make GMail support such protocol.

Thanks! This has been a BIG help. I didn't realize but your right. My paid for exchange account shows HTML email fine. But my hotmail account does not unless I push load more details. What if I switch the Hotmail account to a pop account. Would that help load emails as HTML?
Thanks!
Yes, it will but pop account has too many problems (sync issues, no push email featurs, no calendars, no contacts etc.). You just have to live with it for now.

Great! I have HTML email now. Its not push, but atleast I dont have to load more details anymore. Does POP not support folders? I only have my Inbox.
You've been a great help. I really appreciate it, this was very annoying until you resolved my issue.
Nope. Pop3 is one of the oldest protocol ever. So if you have multiple computers access the same account using pop3, it is very difficult to sync with each other. And it requires SMTP server for sending emails. Some networks won't let you pass out any SMTP mails for the sake of preventing email spammers.
Here is one of my work around:
I setup my gmail account to periodically grab emails from my Hotmail accounts from me and put a label on these emails. So all my emails goes into GMail with Hotmails with proper label. You can even setup your GMail (on the web account settings) to reply your email with your Hotmail as your return email address. This way, you get easy email management from GMail as well as proper HTML email support.

Thanks! I may try this.
Thanks for the info.
I thought I was going crazy. I used iPhone 4 before and I didn't have any problem using Hotmail exchange (ActiveSync) and work Exchange. Now I have to click "Load more details" all the time on Galaxy Tab, and Infuse. It's bit of pain. I think it's more to do with the email client. If I use TouchDown or Hotmail (new from MS) client, they don't have issues.
I hope Samsung release new updated email clients.
Thanks,
You more than likely right. Its the email client, b/c the HTC Flyer and my HTC EVO3D don't have these issues.
Strange to attribute it to Samsung, Microsoft, etc., because Hotmail works normally (automatically loads all details) on Samsung's Galaxy Nexus phone. Why do they make it work (let it work?) there but not on the Galaxy tab?
