Hello everyboy.
I have setup a Gmail account through the Microsoft Outlook client on the phone. For some reason I cannot seem to be able to download any attachments. If I tap on the files I can see they are downloading, but then nothing happens! If I tap on the file again it seems like it downloads again.. but with no luck. If I then go through the file manager and look for the (supposedly) downloaded files I cannot find them anywhere.
Any ideas?

When you are using Gmail through ActiveSync (m.google.com) Attachments not being delivered is a known bug at Google.
When using IMAP/POP3, they should download fine. Are your download settings set to downloading all attachments?

Thanks for the fast reply. Yes, my settings are set to download all attachments.
What's the difference between using Gmail through ActiveSync and using a standard IMAP/POP3 setting?

When using ActiveSync, you get push-mail (but no attachments from non-gmail senders as long as the bug isn't fixed) For info on this particular bug, see: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=6fdf9db207ba49d4&hl=en
Using IMAP/POP3 gives you regular e-mail access. No Push-mail, but you can set the device to sync every xx minutes/hours.
Hey tomasz, you were right! I set up a different account through standard IMAP settings and now it works like a charm! Thanks a lot for your help.
Now how can I delete the Outlook Active Sync email I have previously configuered?
Actually, I managed to delete the account on my own:
Start --> Tools --> ActiveSync and then I unchecked all the options. As a result it deleted the mailbox.

Hey. I'm a new owner of a tytn, and everything has been going great with the learning curve. his forum sure has helped! But right now, I have a question that i cross posted in another forum in the hopes that someone can help me....
I wanted to download an attachment or two I sent myself on gmail. I connected to the gmail account via their web interface, and one was a cab file, and one was a zip file. I can see the e-mail fine, and the attchment appears as a link. However, when I right click on the attachment, I do not get the option to download the attachment. It gives me the menu-
select all text
back
refresh page
favorites
add to favorites
full screen
If I click on anything on a webpage, it gives me the option to save that thing. In fact, if I right click on the paperclip indicating that attachment instead of the link, it gives me the option of saving the picture of the paperclip.
Any ideas? is it a limitation of Gmail? Will I need to get push e-mail to be able to get attachments effectively? Or perhaps really use the e-mail functions instead of web based e-mail?
don't know about google but I can download attachments from yahoo mail or hotmail (standard and mobile versions) just fine, could be a google limitation but I believe you can download attachments from google using a third party program like flexmail.
for the record, I got an answer on HoFo... and I quote:
"neo, he's not using Mobile Outlook, he seems to be using Mobile IE to do it.
Blue Puma - what you need to do is enter in the HTML version of Google into the address bar. Go to Gmail on your desktop and click HTML and then email yourself that link. That should work.
Actually, to avoid confusion, here's a link that might work:
http://mail.google.com/mail/h/m6bqty081ipc/?"
it worked like clockwork.

All fine after deleting the setup and recreating one using POP (instead of IMPç which is not supported)
Remember to tick the incoming + the outgoing mail SSL security' option.
Remember also to set your internet Gmail' settings to allow POP.

Oops, I spoke too fast! It is logging on and synchroinising, but no email comes!
There was a problem with gmail in general today - probably for 2-3 hours...
Here's the fix!
Provided by ionide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1152463&postcount=273
There is a fix for that issue! It took me a while to find out, but it works perfectly.
In the gmail account settings of outlook mobile, add "recent:" in front of your username, Eg. "recent:kyphur"
Now messages downloaded on your PC wil still show up on your phone and vice versa.

thank you so much for this tip. I thought I was going mad, everything seemed to be set up as per instructions etc, but messages kept vanishing. Then I realised that it was opening outlook which stimulated this. Your tip has worked a treat for me.
what if I don't have it setup on my pc and only on my phone. As of right now, it synchronizes and told me it was downloading all 465 of my messages, but it showed nothing in the inbox.
Have you tried the java applet? I find it much nicer than the POP version, though the "recent" tip might make me go back.
The java applet seems throw up a ton of java errors in WM6 for me...anyone else get that?
I don't have those errors. I am running LSVW's version of WM6. The Gmail applet works fine. It did NOT work under WM5 but now it does.

Are you on a standard ROM?
Do you have Yahoo setup and can view emails without WIFI?
If you do not have email setup yet
Go To email Tab
Click new Account
Type your email address and password click next then next again (unless you want to change display name etc)
select manual from send /receive drop down menu
So now when you connect to WIFI you can select your Yahoo account then menu/ send recieve
give that a shot

Hello friend!
I'm on a stardard ROM!
I've already setup the yahoo on email tab, it's alright, but I can't change my account type to POP. It's always IMAP. I don't know if yahoo suport IMAP configuration.
The only good thing is that I could receive the emails from my yahoo account, but never could send.
Can you help me?

My Yahoo is also IMAP but I have no problems sending or receiving, di you input any info for Incoming Mail Server?
It should automatically choose this and should show the following
imap.mail.yahoo.com
The Account Type on mine is greyed out so I cannot change it
Maybe you can delete that setup and try again

Hello!
Mine is greyed to, but my account is from yahoo.com.BR. The settings from yahoo.com and yahoo.com.br is the same?
Thanks
Not sure...........is that what was put in automatically? I would leave it
what does your outgoing SMTP say?
you said you could get email but not send
Check the SMTP setting it should say something like smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com.br (for You) I assume

Hello!
It's ok now!! I just removed the ".br" from the adresses, and uncheck the SSL options and finally could send the email.
By the way, using this thread, how can I increase the time that my display light turn on? Because it's too bad when I'm reading an email for example and the display turn off
Thanks a lot!

Hi guys,
I've had my HD2 for almost 2 weeks now and am loving it! It's my first Windows Mobile device and I'm learning new things every day.
Everything is set up and working well *touch wood* but I have 1 slight problem. I've been sending/receiving emails via my btinternet account on the handset without a problem so far, but once I've sent out an email, there's no record of it on the handset. It doesn't show up in the sent box and, having had a look through the settings, I can't seem to find anything related to rectifying this type of problem. Am I doing something wrong and/or can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
Yup i have the same issue, another bug, sure it will be fixed soon though.
Also you notice how it does not sync any of the other folder either, atl east on hotmail it does not.

Yep I'm having the same problem with my Gmail. The inbox syncs but no other folders sync even though I have selected them in 'Manage Folders'.
Yeah, I've noticed that. It's the same with Yahoo. I don't really mind that so much though to be honest. I just want the confirmation that my emails have been sent, it's very strange?!.
how have you managed to get your hotmail accounts setup on the HD2. i cant seem to connect to the server to sync my email? ive disabled the 'proxy' in the connections settings but still cannot set it up?
Could you pls give a step-by-step setup procedure?
its really appreciated, thanks

I'm also having problems getting my emails to come through. My btinternet email ones seem sporadic and I have to click on send/receive to get them to come through. My hotmail worked a couple of days ago but now nothing....and I know I've new emails. I keep getting the page appearing asking for my password and username poping up. Can't get it to sync at all. Whats the proxy setting you mention? Wheres that?
from inbox; menu/tools/manage folders, then tick the boxes to any of the fiolders you want synched and finaly refresh your mailbox.
By default, only the inbox is always synched.

The easiest way to synch your hotmail account is by using the windows live software on your Leo. Just enter your username and password and it will do the rest.

You don't have to install anything, it's already there on your start menu. It simply automates your mailbox syncing.

@
Having the same problem, there's no tick box!
It is strange if you cant see the boxes at least for some folders. I have to choice for Inbox, Sent Items and Junk mail.
Anyway you can try to keep the finger on the folder to get context menu where are other Folder options. And there is something I would like to ask some advanced user - why I can switch there from "Download email headers" to "Download complete message" but nothing happens and from Hotmail account the phone keeps downloading just email headers. Btw. when using POP3 for my other email account I am able to set this option to Download complete message and YES, there it is running like a charm. But with Hotmail I am not able to succeed.
Anyone knows the clue?

ok maybe its a little late but i figured it out... ---> click on email--> click on menu--> new acc--> pick hotmail/live--> put login info--> if it goes to opera like it did to me or does appear below gmail or so forth on the email tab don't worry im gonna tell you what to do next--> find the windows live icon click it.. once ur logged in you will see Windows live Home follows by Messenger followed by sync--> click on sync--> a new option appears and it should be hotmail option to view your emails..--> now get out and go to your email tab..--> at this point your hotmail is sync to ur device and should be good to go..

thanks so much clown shoes this is so simple but so easy to overlook i spent hours before i found this now have my saved mails
thanks!
I second the above poster! The fix for this was so easy, but so incredibly counterintuitive that I don't think that I'd have ever gotten this on my own.
I am trying to get the incoming mail server settings for the mobile.msn.com so i can add a second account. Does anybody know these settings?
I was wondering if its possible to get pushmail for gmail without using outlook ?
Is this possible ? Am I supposed to use IMAP or POP mail ?
Please help, thanks
If you setup mail, it will automatically setup for IMAP.
You configure for how often it checks the server.
Thanks I just did that, but the problem is it checks every 5 minutes, thats not exactly push mail is it ?? It should have the option "As mail arrives"
I tried deleting an email from my inbox, but when I check online, its still there (the actual gmail inbox) .. it seems they are not really in function are they ?
EDIT : Okay The messages got deleted in the browser inbox after 5 minutes ... So the email syncs every 5 minutes
How can I make it an instant connection (pushmail) ??
Actually Outlook Mobile 2007/2010 still pulls from IMAP instead of receiving pushes (Microsoft doesn't exactly know about IDLE). You'll want to set up an Exchange connection. See here for more details about Google Sync.
You'll want to configure the server manually. You can find ActiveSync somewhere into your Start menu, otherwise just go to the Sense settings tab, Data Service and ActiveSync to configure the server, then follow the instructions from the link above.
Thank you very much, that worked, and I can choose "As item arrives" now
One last thing, is it possible to change the email name from Outlook to something else ? e.g. Gmail ?
ZaZu90, what domain did you choose while configuring the connection? I can't click next unless I choose a domain, since the activesync software is different and probably newer than the one used in the google instructions...
I followed Yunabeco's link, the domain was left blank.
You have to initiate the email settings from active sync, not from adding a new account.
Check the intsturctions ^^
Yes I am trying to do the same but as I said I cannot leave the domain blank, i HAVE to fill in something in order to continue configuring the connection...
And apparently I am not the only one with this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5382949&postcount=4
Hmm this is strange, does it have to do with the location of purchase ?
Im not sure :S

Yea, that's the same document as earlier in this thread, but the problem is that the instructions don't work on some devices.. see the previous page
I just did the Push Mail setup (used the link from Yunabeco post)
I had no problem with the instructions, but for some reason it will only get the mail when I do an ActiveSync.
The ActiverSync chedule is set to sync during Peak times (As Items arrive) and off-peak times (As Items arrive).
The Use above settings and Send/Receive when I click Send) are als set to on.
Did I miss a setting as it's not working for me the way it should, or do I need to set something in my Gmail account also?

Barty,
Surprised at this. I set this up the other day on my device in order to talk someone through it and it worked. Deleted it as I don't need push mail right now.
Wondered if those who can't get it working can put down the steps they have taken to setup on their devices and we can see how we can help?
WB
I wonder if its possible to set up multiple push mail accounts ?
Gonna search for that now, if anyone got a link before I finish my little research, please add it !
