Just got my HD2 and love it. However..... I cannot get my e-mail set up. I use a blueyonder.co.uk account.
The problem is when I try to enter my username which is one of those pseudo type accounts (a selection of letters and numbers similar to ef351d5176) when I save the details it changes back to my real name, therefore my mail cannot be accessed.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Many Thanks

I was forwarding an email the other day when somehow or other I managed to find an option to choose the account that the email was sent from - basically received on outlook email and the email app asked me if I wanted to forward from outlook, gmail or hotmail.
I'd like this option which I used to have on the iphone and found very useful, but can't seem to find it again.
Can anyone help please?
Really sorry to bump this but I'd appreciate if anyone could offer some ideas?
I came across what I think you mean only yesterday, but couldn't find this thread to tell you! Glad you bumped it.
Basically, you can't forward an email that received with account A by using account B.
What I found though, is that if you click an email address in an email, it asks which account you want to use, treating the link as a regular email link, rather than forcing you to use the account you're reading the email with.
I hope that explains it, but you definitely can't forward using a different account, and personally I think that makes sense.
John,
Thanks very much that was exactly it. The probem is that you can't do that with the senders email address, only links in the email text.
can see your point, but the option came in handy previously on occasions where I received an email at work with contents that you definitely wouldn't want to forward from that account! So I would just hit the dropdown and send from gmail instead.
In terms of enterprise management though I doubt our IT staff realised I could do it.
Thank you for your help, I appreciate it.

No worries mate - glad to help.
Just a suggestion, but could you not just forward the email to the account that you do want to forward from? Then you simply remove the header from the last email so it looks like it was never sent from that account.
I know it's long-winded, but it will achieve the desired effect.
The thought behind it was more that I wasn't forwarding emails from my work account at all, which I'd still have be doing by sending it to myself.
As you can imagine, no matter how funny rude or downright disgusting a received email is, sending it from a work address is a no-no!
Again, cheers for your help. My work round now is saving attachments to storage and then forwarding them from my own address - just as long winded.
And there's always cut and paste.

hi,
i have no solution for the build in email. but if you not scared to try an 3rd party program that is not for free, you can give flexmail a try.
i just made a test, i forward a mail that arrived on account 'a'/at provider 'a' to an account 'c'/at provider 'c', using account 'b'/at provider 'b' as sender address. it works perfectly.
there is a trail version of the programm so you can take a look yourself bevore buying.

Hi all,
I have looked through the threads as far as I can, and I can't find the answer.
I have just hard reset the phone a few days ago, and set up my googlemail account and other apps I use.
The problem is that the emails seem to delete themselves after about 3 days,and I can't see why. I've logged onto googlemail from the PC and the emails are all still there, which is strange.
Is there any way that this can be fixed?
Also, a hint on how to change the default signature would be great.
Many thanks in advance,
Chris.
You looked as far as you could on the forum, but not in your phone's menus
Email tab, More, menu->tools->options, select your account, and fiddle in the settings until you get to "download mail from the last X days", change the 3 to what you want. On the place where you select your account there's a "signatures" button too, for the 2nd part of the question.
Ah, I expected it would be something simple.... now I'm slightly embarassed
Many thanks for that, I honestly thought that the settings would be on the initial mail setup lol.
Chris.
PS. Sig changed to "Sent from my HD2, much better than an iPhone" Will annoy the wife very much

Hi XDA developers,
I have a T Mobile UK HD2 which has the latest 1.72 ROM loaded.
I set up 2 email accounts (vispa and O2) but then found I only need one. I have searched the menus and settings but cannot find out how to remove an email account. Any one able to tell me what clever place I have missed looking in? Ideally step by step for a none expert.
Thanks in advance
Richard
yeah no problem follow this
open up email than go to the inbox ->press menu ->Tools ->options->press and hold over the account you want to delete ->press delete
deleting email - fixed, thanks jmckenna
Hi jmckenna,
Many thanks for a very fast response, email accounts now deleted. Just rebooting to confirm it no longer comes up with incoming email screen with user name and password prompt.
Thanks
Richard
Hi,
I have have been a lurker here for a while as I have usually found all the info required by search. However I have a really odd problem on my HD2 whic I can not find the answer to?!
When I send images by mail my phone is adding on a email contact on every send. i only became aware as I received a reply recently. As it goes this person has received every image I have sent
My HD2 is a UK T-mobile handset with the latest T-Mobile ROM and a few regestry tweeks.
I am baffled and any help appreciated
I think I now know why this is happening... The phone seems to recognise the automatically added @ symbol when you go to send pictures via the album.
Any knowledge of how to stop this appearing? or removing the auto association?
Are you saying that you can send an email to "@" and it works?
you haven't got a contact saved as @ have you lol,
im quite confused by this

Yes, but for some reason when I am in the album and choose to send pictures by email the "@" is there by default, so I have been adding emails and the @ remains, I thought nothing of it, but now see it is associated to a contact
So I will have to manually remove this every time I send an image which is quite annoying.

Well I can't send emails to the address "@", so I suggest checking your contacts to see if there's one with that name, as mentioned above by Demon_man.
That's the only thing I can think of that would do that.
Just did a search in contacts and nothing comes up. However in email (via outlook) I just entered @ and it came up with an email address - so it seems this is an auto complete specific to my handset.
Is there a auto complete list I can access in the device memory? I searched in windows and could not find anything.
I just need to figure out how to delete the association, otherwise I am going to remove all contact details for this person and see if this resolves the issue.
OK, so I deleted the contact and tried it. Result no association with "@"
however upon re-entering the info it has returned. The email address is set up as [email protected] so I think because there is an [email protected] it recognised the @ on its own.
I would appreciate if anyone can add a dummy email with [email protected] and see if the HD2 picks up on this and feedback
Cheers!

I just tried it - created a contact with the email [email protected] and sent an image from the album to @ and it sent it to the email address I entered. It would appear that the _ is causing it to recognise the @ symbol in the email address. If you go to a normal email and put @ as the email address, when you move to the subject or body, it "fixes" the email address for you (try it - you'll see what I mean).
So I guess email addresses ending with an underscore are out!

Thank you for testing it was driving me mad!
Yes I know about the normal email that was not a problem as it does not have the @ there by default. Only when you send images from the album
I don't understand why HTC enter an @ when you try to send an image from the album as it does not really help as you have to scroll past it to complete the address!
Thanks again
Haven't recieved any e-mail since yesterday. I have several new emails from 2 email accounts....so I've been checking settings...funny thing is my settings are not correct for my password....there are too many characters showing in the "password" window. Example....I can change it back to what it should be (10) characters...close everything and look again an there are 4 extra characters (14). What is going on here. This is my 2nd phone. Had to send my original back. My wife is on her third phone. Something is not right about these phones. I'm this close to going back to my Blackberry.
Do not pay any mind to the number of asterisks. Number of asterisks shown does not correlate to the number of characters in your password. At least, not when you go back into that screen.
Any time one of my HD2's stops getting email, I do a soft reset (yellow button inside battery case). This usually always cures the issue.
BTW, this phone isn't the only device that shows an "incorrect" number of asterisks for a password (servers, web applications, etc.). It's a security thing. If some unauthorized person can see a correct number of asterisks, well, they can now narrow down what the password would be.
Incorrect number of asterisks is a good thing.
That makes sence. I checked the wife's and hers shows the same thing mine does. She gets the mail on hers....I don't...(same e-mail account). I set both phones up so I know it's nothing keyed in wrong. I even did a hard reset last night...redone everything...still no mail this morning....I'm about to give up!
What type of email account are you having issues with?
E-mail accounts
I was having trouble with both...AOL and a pop3 account. The AOL account started working last night. The pop3 was the one that I couldn't get to start working. I tried it from computers and it worked..just didn't receive anything on the phone....but I am glad to report that I am now receiving all my email from both accounts! I don't know what happened....but they are working now. Thanks for the help guys...I appreciate it.
