Hey there, got my HD 2 yesterday, set up most software and am a happy camper. Until I tried downloading the rest of an email that I received.
I mark it for download and it just doesn't.
No matter if i connect through GSM/3G/Wifi. It does download new messages, but does not download attachments or the rest of the message.
Standard Pop3 email,, not outlook, imap or exchange. The full mails remain on the server for 10 days, so they are still on the server (i checked).
Do you guys know if there is a log file somewhere that might give me clues? Any ideas?
I will delete the mail account and set it up anew now. Will post if it fixes it.
Thankfull for any hints.
Fixed
Ok, this is weird. I just reviewed the account settings and found they had changed, the pop Username in particular. I can't remember changing it, since i had entered it correctly since i did receive the truncated mails properly in the first place...
Odd.
Bug found!
Ok, here's how it goes down. DO NOT GO BACK INTO ACCOUNT SETTINGS FROM THE SENSE EMAIL TAB.
It will replace the Username with the part before the @sign from the email address. So if your email is [email protected] but your username is username.popmail, it will automatically replace username.popmail by who.ever
Go through INBOX>MENU>TOOLS>OPTIONS to change your settings, they will be permanent there (as you end up in WinMo UI there).
This is anoying since you have to re-enter your pop login after you mistype MENU>SEND/RECEIVE from the Sense tab cause ACCOUNT SETTINGS is right next to it...

My e-mail has ceased to work. It's configured via T-Mobile's website and I can download the settings right to my phone. When it tried to send/receive now it prompts me with Incoming E-Mail Password screen which also has a box for domain. The thing is the password is already entered in there and even if I select OK it just keeps asking for it. Any ideas?
No idea what's happening but mine started the same nonsense about 2 weeks ago. I just reconfigured the email to pull off my gmail account and it works fine but pulling from the tmobile site doesnt - go figure.
Unfortunately, I don't use Gmail nor do I want to. I tried deleting the accounts and re-instating them, but it's still doing the same thing. Can someone else advise? Thanks!
Weird. When I got home it worked. Perhaps, TMO's server was down.
I am having a problem with the email app, and wonder if anyone has seen this or can suggest a solution.
When I open the app to add an email account, I get a window which (patronizingly) explains how I will be done in 2 easy steps; I hit Next; I get a window asking for url and password ECXEPT this time the Next box is grayed out. I can't hit Next! There is also a "Manual Setup" button next to the Next button but it is also gray and I cannot press it either. My only option is to escape. I reset to factory settings. Same problem. There must be a defect in my factory settings? Is this a symptom of a bigger problem? Can I fix this, or download a fresh copy? How do I check email?
thanks to anyone who can solve this riddle,

have you tried entering your email and password?
yeah its not URL is email you put in.And the email app sucks anyways. go to market place and download k-9. Its much better, with the same type of easy setup.
Of course I've tried that. For instance, I type: mail.pas.rochester.edu. and [password], still nothing. And why would "manual setup" also not work? I don't want load my phone with redundant apps, and iif this one is not working how do I know there isn't a greater problem?
Its not asking for a url or your email server ip. Its asking for your actual email address. ie [email protected]ter.edu or whatever it may be.

What type of email are you trying to set up? I had the same problem when trying to set up my hotmail account. It wont accept much except gmail, i think?
it accepts most pop3/imap style email boxes
E-mail configuration on G1
Hi friends,
I have another problem with e-mail (POP3/IMAP) application on G1.
Everything's working fine except the e-mail automatic checking (that could be set up on some period of time) and deleting messages from the server.
1. Automatic checking (for POP3 or IMAP settings) is not working - don't know why... So, I have to check e-mail manually by clicking in Inbox or using refresh button
2. Deleting messages (for POP3 settings) is not working at all. Even if it is set up to delete messages from the server and message is deleted - it is going to Trash folder, then if it is deleted from Trash and refreshed it is still existing on the server and in the Trash folder on G1. I really don't know how to get it working... I have tried a few settings and it is not removing messages from the server at all.
Is anybody have it working? Thanks in advance for any help!
Regards.

It is the same for me using [email protected] with the correct password, just keeps saying that the username or password is wrong, which it isnt.
My friend has this phone with T-Mobile. The issue that he is seeing is that he can get his emails off the server and send them to the Trash. However, when he tries to delete the messages permanently from trash they disappear from his phone for a short time and then come back. So it would appear that the messages are deleted from his phone but not the server, so when the phone syncs with the server they reappear.
I told him about this site and he has searched for this issue with no luck. I have also searched and have decided to post this for assistance.
Thanks for any help you guys can give us on this.
Edit: I should mention that this is happening with his Comcast email, gmail works fine though.

in the mail setting there is a check box for you asking if you would like to delete then from the server or never delete

He checked this and it does say delete from server when I delete from inbox.
the strange thing is that he switched from this to Never Delete it just went back to his inbox and then he went back in and it was still on "delete from server when I delete from inbox".
He tried again and they still do not delete.
Any other ideas?
email settings
He may need to log in to his email on his computer and see if it has a setting to keep mail on the server after it has been pulled using POP3 or IMAP. I have not used comcast email but that could be an issue.
I was having the same issue on my Nexus One. But to add on to it even when I marked messages as read they kept coming back as unread and was constantly sounding the new email notificatiion. I wiped and set everything up again and continued to have the same problem.
To resolve the issue I just set up to pull from my other yahoo POP accounts in gmail. Now I don't have the read items reaccuring. But I don't have the option now to delete from the yahoo server if I delete in gmail. But I guess I can live with that.
I guess the other email client still needs some fine tunning. But of course gmail works great. Was a little disspointed about this coming from a blackberry but the other pluses really outweighs this little stint.
I sent him your suggestions. He is going to try it soon. I will let you know what happens.
Thanks for all your help.
Comcast hsa an option in their settings to keep mail on server when downloading via POP. have him uncheck that setting in his comcast webmail. This will fix the problem
I convinced the Mrs to get get a wildfire (nice!) but having set up pop3 exactly like i set up on my Hero it says the password/username is incorrect, even tho the password or username is fine!
anyone else had this problem?
i checked to see if all the set up options were the same as my hero and they match perfectly.............any ideas?
the only thing anomalous is the sim card isnt working yet as her number ports today, but connection is fine over wifi
Don't know if this will help, but I set mine up to my yahoo email account using IMAP without any issues.
Update
Ok I now know its not a fault specific to the wildfire, I've tried setting up her email on my hero, with the same result. I've also used my pc to log on using her password and username with no problem at all..........weird!
As I said previously my own pop 3 sets up fine and is also with the same provider, yahoo in this instance, the only thing I can guess at is wether there is a user name length issue? Hers is only 12 letters long tho?
Will try imap and let you know, thanks for the suggestion or try the yahoo app.
Update
installed the yahoo email app from the market and the email comes thru fine with the mrs password etc.....wtf?!!! now i just want to get the HTC email app to work.......really dont get why this not connecting
weirder still!
just got my old diamond working and using the htc email app set up the mrs email account with no problem......
oh also works on my old Xda exec.........................
Hi,
are u setting it up manually or automatic. Because when i put my hotmail account in its working fine automatic. Manually i have no idea.
Also exchange and of course gmail works great on this phone!
Thanks for looking in I've tried to set up both ways even comparing with the settings on my hero, strangely all looks fine!
And as I said her settings work on every device I've tried except sense on android.
ANy solutions yet... ?? it tells me authentication failed..incorrect username/password .. i m setting up my gmail account .. not working for imap and pop both
Possible temporary solution
I bought this phone yesterday for my younger brother and since then its.. f***ing my mind out how to setup his email...
Well after trying all bull**** and even going on email settings tweaking it several times could not get the mails on Wildfire...Also the problem is not with username or password length coz tried to change that too..
For some reason though my account could be setup in a fly on his cell.. but for his own account i had to find a temporary solution
Tap Email setup >> type ur username and password and click manual setup>> Then in the first drop down menu Select POP instead of IMAP >> in the pop server box type pop.gmail.com>>Click on next and finish the process...
Note: For my account IMAP setup was done pretty quickly so it seems to be error from GMAIL server side i have mailed them to look into the matter and resolve the bugs if any.
Works fine for me both POP3 and IMAP.
I am thinking of switching to K9 mail though.

DUDE i wish my bro was as lucky as you.. in any case no development goin on here for wildfire i hope i am not the one to make the first Custom ROM for it..
Password Length
In case anyone comes across this thread as I did looking for an answer to this question:
The length of your Hotmail Password was the culprit for my login success. I had a 17 character password and kept getting "Authentication Failed..." I then tried shortening it to 10 characters and it worked like a charm.
I hope this is the solution to a problem many others have been reporting.
this works for me. thanks heaps!

Hi guys
I have a HD2 with the Stock ROM 1.66, all working fine until recently, where both my Gmail accounts are blank, every folder is empty, Send/Receive runs, Connecting > Logging on > looking for Changes > Updating Folders > Disconnecting.
No email is downloaded, Ive tried removing accounts and re-adding, checking the deletion and day threshold settings, and its still not download any at all.
The only thing ive done recently is installed SPB keyboard which ive removed, and the Excalibur Android Loader app, which is also now removed. I also changed a registry setting under HTC Album to ignore the .thumbnails folder, but nothing else.
Help!!
My Outlook sync probably works fine, but because i dont have a valid SSL cert on exchange yet, i cant test with that.
Thanks
Does your email account work fine via webmail?
works fine via webmail.
Okay ive found the problem after hours of investigation, the date was set to 2011 for some reason, so it was connecting and seeing no emails for that date!!!
Thanks

I'm having the same issue. It checks email and comes back with the current time as the refresh time, but doesn't show any new emails. I have found a trick that if I go into the settings for that mail account and just click through them without changing anything, it will receive the current mail. Unfortunately I have to do that every time I want mail from that IMAP email. The unfortunate side effect is that it also resets default settings for emial size and frequency.
Where was the date field that you are talking about above?
I just went to my phone's date/time setting and it was set to automatic from server. I toggled it to manual and back to automatic. Now it's receiving emails again. That may have fixed it. I'm a little skeptical as I have done little things here and there which will may it update and retrieve email once, but it never seems to work on its own without my tinkering with it. We'll see. If it is still working tomorrow, I'll report back here to let everyone know.
So I tried it again this morning and it isn't working again. So that wasn't it. Also, one correction to my last post ... my IMAP isn't empty it just won't receive new mail. I hit refresh and the sync symbol spins and then shows the current time as if refreshed but no new email pop in. It also does this so fast that it cannot possibly be logging in and checking before it returns with no mail. Still frustrated. Let me know if anyone figures this out.
PS - as additional info, I own my own domain and email hosting through Rackspace. Since my wife has the same setup (Domain and sakes rackspace account) I added her email to my phone and it works fine (tried over several days). So now I'm really baffled.
Solved! Android 2.2 stopped receiving emails (T-Mobile)
Solved! Android 2.2 stopped receiving emails (T-Mobile)
Ok, I have spent countless hours researching and troubleshooting this and I think I have the solution. Apparently, Android's native email software has difficulty with certain things, "Flagged" emails being one of them. I.E. those emails you flag different colors to follow up on later.
I have tried everything I could find on the issue and this seems to be what worked for me.
Background (Just in case this helps you):
Phone: T-Mobile HTC HD2 running Android 2.2 NAND
Issue: Email worked fine on multiple accounts for over a year on this phone, then one day one of my personal IMAP account stopped receiving emails. Gmail and my Exchange accounts still worked fine. However, my IMAP account would say it is "Syncing/Refreshing Messages" and come back with the current time stamp, but would not pull in any of the new messages. My only work around until now was to run through the email account setup for Incoming mail server, Outgoing (SMTP) mail server, etc. Then it would work, but only once. If I wanted my new mail again, I would have to repeat that process. About a day or so before I began having issues, I had flagged several emails for future follow-up. I read a post that mentioned that in passing so I tried it. I went into Outlook and unfledged all the emails I had flagged.
Solution: Un-flag all emails in your INBOX. Then wait 4-12 hours.
NOTE! At first it didn't work, but after a few hours I started getting my emails and have been getting everything fine since (last 48hours). I guess it takes time to propagate in the system or something.
I hope this helps!
