To keep your GPRS alive if you want:
1) Go to the following registry entry:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A3 *****}\Connections\GPRS*****\"
2) Change "Always On" 0 into 1.
---------------------
Then:
Go to Inbox.
Menu -> extra -> create new account.
Enter your email adres.
Enter your name, username, and password.
Account type: POP3
Name: Whatever you want to choose.
Incoming mail: pop.YOURPROVIDER.com (for example: pop.gmail.com )
Outgoing mail: smtp.YOURPROVIDER.com (for example: smtp.gmail.com)
If you want to let it automatically check your email,
then choose options, and you can fill in the time interval.
If you enter 15 for example, it will check you email every 15 minutes and
lets you know automatically if there is mail.
You mail will be kept on the server, so you can check and store your email
on pc also later.
Choose next.
Choose "download headers only"
Check and choose and enter 999 kb. (this is necessay for providers like
gmail, for most other providers the preset settings are ok)
Finish.

the problem i am having is that when i recieve email oon my desktop, i cant recieve it on my 8125... will this allow me to do that??
Once your email is opened/received on your desktop the mail will not show up anymore on the phone. That is my experience.
For me its not an issue, as when I read it at home, I do not need to read or receive it again on the road after that.
And when I am on the road it will first show up on my phone, after that when I am at home I download from the server with my provider.
But perhaps your problem can be solved by leaving all your new incoming mail on the server with your provider when your pc already received it. That should be possible. Perhaps in that case your 8125 can also pick it up after your pc opened it.
I am not sure why you would want your pc to pick up mail first and still need to open it on your mobile phone after that, but you can also read you mail
with your pc by using POPPY ( http://www.yoursurfice.com/Content/Home/Home.htm ).
This way the email will stay on the server with your provider,
and you will still be notified on your Mobile equipment ass well.
The setup I gave you does work if you do not let your pc (outlook)
let email check automatically when you are away from home
or on the road.
If you are on the road, then you auto check mail with 8125.
and you can delete it ass well, as it will stay on the server.
Once your back home, you download all mail from teh server,
and store in outlook.
Then put on auto-check again in Outlook if you want that.
Thats the way I do it.
Or just install poppy.
It will also check you email automatically, but leaves it on the server,
when read without outlook.
This way you can also remove spam/virus like garbage and download
the mail you ony want to receive.

thats what i need. i want tow copies because alot of times i will read the email on my pc then i will wait later and reply to the same email using my phone thats why i need two copies... one on my desktop and one on my 8125.
what exactly is poppy? i use outlook 2007 and would hate to give that up just to have two copies...
another problem that i am having is that when i have email i my inbox, and i go select send and recieve, if i have any new incoming messages, they are deleted and are replaced with the new messages... is there any way to stop that??? is there some simple way just to push the mail to my 8125
Thanks for all your help so far!
Poppy is a very helpfull program that work independently.
You can still use outlook as always.
Poppy only works in the background. It will contact your provider automatically if you want and gives you clear signals on screen if there is new mail on the server with your provider. This way it is not downloaded yet to your pc, so you will still be able to pick the signals up automatically with your Mobile phone as well.
You can not use Poppy to send email, of respond with it. If you want that you simply start up Outlook after that.
But its helpfull, as lots of times you will also recieve spam/viruslike attachements etc. And with Poppy you can immediately delete them from the server without actually downloading them first to your pc.
Now, for your second problem (deleted email from mobile phone) I would like to refer you to some other Threads on this site. I have read about it in the past, so please do a search. It is there somewhere.
If I find it, I lett you know.
Or perhaps someone out there can help with this ??
This is the most simple and easy way I found for myself.
I would not know how to do it else.
Hi all,
I am trying to figure out why my pop3 accounts (i have 2) always seem to disappear after a day or so of me opening them. One account gets all of the email and the other gets headers only. but when i try to open up the two accounts or even go into outlook express, they are never there.
I can't find any setting that says keep all email that I don't delete. Can anyone advise please? It's probably a simple answer but I can't figure it out yet :\
TTT please advise!
You need to be more specific. Which email service are you using on your device? If it is Gmail then you need to let the device auto detect the settings and leave the default usename to "recent:username". Otherwise the messages will go away after a day or 2.
sorry i didnt think the email service would matter. it seemed like more of a settings on the phone issue. its roadrunner, time warner - pop.nycap.rr.com
i receive them fine and that's no problem. but they just go away after a day or two even if i haven't synced. why wont they fill up my inbox like microsoft outlook does on my pc??
Well you may need to check your email account settings on roadrunners website. For example when you log into a gmail account on the web there is a link for Pop/forwarding settings. In there you can set "Status: POP is enabled for all mail that has arrived since 8/2/04". Once this is set then all mail will stay on the device after 8/2/04. Assuming roadrunner has a setting like this then you will want to make sure it is setup properly via the roadrunner website. However if email is staying in outlook on your home pc and not on your device then this might not be your problem.
If I were you I would first delete the account on your device and set it up again making sure you allow the device to detect settings automatically.
Well, I only use a exchange server but in activesync dont you specify how many days of emails you want to store? Default is 3 days, so emails automatically are removed from the phone after 3 days.
surrept, thanks i will check that out - i never let it do auto detect cause the few times i did it wouldn't pick anything up. and i assume my roadrunner is set to keep them since my PCs outlook has them all the way back until i set up my account? weird. also, in the messenger tab, i see
"OUTLOOK EXPRESS"
"EMAIL1"
"EMAIL2"
email 1 and 2 being the two roadrunner accounts that i receive to my phone..should they be set up right inside outlook? maybe that's part of the problem?
fredde, i dont often activesync because my PC no longer recognizes my handheld, i need to sync via my laptop but i do it rarely since i dont use it all the time. like once a week maybe i sync. but the emails disappear more frequently than that. i will sync up and see if i can see that option.
thanks for the tips guys
No outlook on the device is reserved for the outlook accounts on your PC. That mailbox will fill up as you sync it up with activesync. But only when you do that. You want the 2 email accounts below that you said you have. Those if setup properly should connect to the pop servers the same as outlook would on a pc. Like the poster said above make sure in advanced account settings that you have it set to keep all mail on device.
well i've made some headway - i learned that the emails disappear from my handheld as soon as I mark them as read (open them) on my PC...so now where would the setting be to have them stay on my handheld until deleted from there?? its like the hard copy never gets created on the phone they just stay on the server??
I changed it to keep all, however the weird thing is that the two accounts I have on my phone are the same two set up in my Outlook on my PC - so one would think it would work with either the phone settings or the activesync to keep them in the phone!? so confusing.
what i really want is the two email accounts on my phone (same as PC) to get new mail, and if i don't delete it, in a day or so have them go into the outlook on my phone so that they will be stored the same way Outlook on your PC stores email. By date, so that you can search them quickly etc. I dont know why it wouldn't do that.
Hello again fellow Touch 3g owners,
So ive come across this article and i was wondering if anyone has tried this. Im not able to try it with the standard email application for the touch 3g. I have been using the windows live application to sync my emails but i dont like it because it only syncs emails i havent read and i think its kinda stupid to have to open another application just to sync ur emails. Would gladly appreciate any input on this.
EDIT:
Ok so ive got it working by following one of the comments of the article. The email program automatically detects settings for these 3 domains: live.com, hotmail.com and msn.com. You do not want this to happen, so what you have to do is enter a fake domain like [email protected] and then enter the settings found in the article. Remember to tick the box for ssl and authentication for both ingoing and outgoing in the advanced settings. when ur done you can change the accountname to ur real email. this worked for me (accessed my emails, havent tried sending yet but i dont think that will be a problem).
just an update
So ive got it working, however its not to my liking. It works great exept for a few things. One is that i cant preview the messages in touchflo, it shows when and from who but not a preview of the content. Second is that mails already read elsewhere it downloads as unread. And last but not least, it takes a long time to sync. So if any of you has found a workaround pleas let me know.
Why don't you just configure all your pop3 in the mail tab. There you can easily and quickly send/receive or sync.

I configured my mails (including hotmail) using the Mail Tab. Once configured it gives the icons on the right as to which accounts I am looking at. And when I tap Menu - Send/receive, the individual icons (accounts) shows how many e-mails have come in (still unread) for each account (if any).
Follow this link http://www.ghacks.net/2009/01/22/enable-hotmail-pop3-in-all-countries/ for hotmail configuration.
When first configuring, do not put [email protected][U]hotmail.com[/U], put something else (e.g. [email protected][COLOR="Red"]zzxxyy.com[/COLOR]). Configure manually, do not let it search. The rest follow instructions from above link. Once completed, then update - which gives fail. Then Tap Menu-Tools-Options-tap the hotmail email acc - and input all the correct info from there (the actual account login name, password.) Tap send/receive... Wallllla !!!!

Well, it depends on the beholder. I configured it in less than 5 minutes, just once. Well that's the only way now, that I know and would like to share. Others may have a much more simpler, easier and less complicated way. I don't know.
I have searched for email problems but found none that describe my problem.
The problem is this.
1. Emails that have been read, but not deleted are removed from my HD2.
2. I get a notification that an email has been delivered. If i don't read that email, pick up my phone and so on. I can return to my phone knowing that i should have a message to read and find none.
I believe that what may be happening is that my emails are getting cleared down on every send/receive schedule.
Can anyone assist?
I am not saving messages to the SIM card currently.
I had that problem.
I guess that messages are deleted from hd2 when they are deleted from mail server
In other words, when you download them with computer for example, where you probably set it to: delete messages from server after they are downloaded, they are deleted from hd2 after next send,receive...
So I guess that these emails you would like to read them on your hd2 are deleted because in the mean time you or some software deleted them from email server
I find this happens if I empty the deleted items folder in Outlook on the Windows PC to which my HD2 is synched.
Disappearing email
On HTC Touch HD, when I wanted to save an email, I have deleted it. In that way it stayed preserved in the "deleted items" folder.
However, on HD2 email is disappearing from that folder also, after it has been deleted on the server.
Is there any way to save e-mails permanently on HD2? Except moving it to the "drafts" folder...

find the email options screen that lets you set the storage location, and on that page is the option to control when and how to empty the deleted items which by default is set to automatic on connect disconnect.

Thank you for your reply, samsamuel!
I have tried to find an email option screen that you are referring to, but I just don't see it anywhere.
Could you please guide me to it?

sure, from home screen go mail -inbox -menu -scroll down to tools -options switch to storage tab and there it is.
Oooops, I 've missed the scroll down part.

Ok, switched to "Manually".
What I do (just for testing purposes):
1- I'm at home and using Outlook 2003, so from one email account of mine I send a short email to THE email account which is also set up in my HD2.
2- Once I see the email has been delivered, I force my HD2 to refresh and I receive the email.
3- Now I refresh Send/Receive in my Outlook. Fine, I receive the message too.
4- Finally, I refresh again (Send/Receive) in my HD2...
5- The email I had on my HD2 screen, is gone. If I go to my InBox folder, there's nothing there.
What's wrong? Although I know the server deletes the messages, why can't my HD2 keep a message that had already been received?
Cheers,

thats because when you check the account from the mobile, it leaves a copy of the email on the server, and creates a copy in your phones inbox. When you check from Outlook on the pc, it physically downloads the email, thus removing it from the server, so when you check again from the phone, the inbox is empty.
You can alter outlook to not remove messages, but you end up with all your mail stored on your pop server, and the isp might not like it if it grows too large.

Hi there samsamuel. Thanks for your answer.
I understand this behaviour, but what I can't possibly understand is why the email is not kept in my HD2: I get the notification, I click to download it, hence, in that very moment a copy of the email is in my device. Then, why can't it be kept in my device if it was already there!?
It's fine if later on, it refreshes and it detects that there's no email in the server's inbox....but please, don't delete me the copy that I already had in my device! It has no sense!
Isn't there an option to keep these copies?
And yes, you're right, I don't want to alter my outlook, that would be a nightmare.
Cheers!
No choice for that?
Are you all happy with this email behaviour?
..I'm asking because there seems not to be a solution for this...
Up...
I'm having the same problem man... it's giving me the ****S. How do I put android on this PoS HD2?!
figured it out...
Open inbox > Menu (scroll down to tools) > Options > Click your email account > skip through all the bull**** until you get to the "Email Setup, automatic send / receive & dowload messages" drop down boxes screens, Hit "Advanced Settings", then change the 'When deleting messages:' from delete them off the server to keep them on the server.
Stupid WinMo.
Try an email account that supports IMAP. Some providers allow POP3 or IMAP so you might not have to change accounts.
I don't like the way IMAP looks in Outlook, but it works much better across several devices. I have two PCs and a couple of phones. No matter where I am, each device always reflects what is ACTUALLY in my email online. It took a little adjusting to, but I think it's much better. In Active Sync/Windows Mobile Devie Center, I no longer have Outlook set to synchronise with my device. Try signing up for a free Gmail account and try it on your phone and in Outlook on a PC and see what you think...
Somehow found what seems to be the problem...
inbox - tools - options - accounts tab - choose your account - edit account setup - click next until:
Automatic Send/Receive:
[Every 60 minutes]
Download messages:
[From past 3 days]
Change this from past 3 days to All messages and voila!
It's seems to save space by providing you only with latest e-mails. Make sure to do the Storage options mentioned earlier!
I was having some setup issues with Gmail pop; I’ve found a workaround so thought I’d share it.
I like to check my email regularly with the HD2 throughout the day, but manage the majority of these through Outlook when I get home. So on my HD2 I set up a pop mail account to check my Gmail at regular intervals (5 mins), get the entire message but leave a copy of the message on the server so I can still access these with Outlook later.
Problem was whenever the HD2 downloaded an email despite the setup being configured to leave the message on the server these mails were marked “as read” by Gmail and archived, presumably because my Gmail account was set to “archive emails that have been accessed through pop”. This was clearly overriding the “leave a copy on the server” setting. So I’d get an email on my device, this was then automatically removed from the Gmail inbox and archived, 5 minutes later the HD2 would check again, see the inbox was empty and therefore delete the email from my device. Outlook never got a look in as when I got home all the emails had been archived so it was seeing no emails at all.
Hence the disappearing email problem.
Firstly I tried changing the Gmail setting to “keep Google mails copy in the inbox when it had been accessed by pop”, this worked to a degree but I found it slightly irritating having to go in and manually erase all the emails in my Gmail inbox once I had downloaded them.
I then tried enabling imap in Gmail and binning pop access altogether, i.e., accessing all my emails through imap both on the HD2 and on Outlook. Again this worked to a degree but I have Outlook set up a particular way and I found that imap didn’t really work for me in that regard.
Eventually I sussed getting it to work the way I want, I set up both pop and imap access in Gmail. I had the HD2 accessing mails through imap, and Outlook accessing through pop (with the setting for ” archiving emails once accessed through pop” enabled in Gmail). So the HD2 would accrue all the emails that I received throughout the day and keep these in the Gmail inbox so when I fired up Outlook at home these were still there to be downloaded. Of course once I had retrieved these emails through Outlook these were automatically archived by Gmail and only then were they removed from the HD2 then next time it checked the server, which was fine as they had been dealt with and were no longer required, perfect!
So that’s been my weekend really, hope it helps anyone that wants a similar setup.
POP is the wrong method for your interest.
POP catches the mails from your server and deletes em from it.
You only need to use IMAP method to leave a copy on the server.
Just that easy.
You could have saved a lot time if you only setup imap in your email settings in the phone.
All other stuff was completely too much. Sorry
Im using that method since i had the Touch HD and still use it with Gmail on the HD2 and my mails stay on the huuuuuuge google servers too.
Undoubtedly imap has its advantages, certainly on the phone its working well for me.
You did raise a point:
"POP catches the mails from your server and deletes em from it"
Should this happen when the you have set-up an account on the device thats configured to "do not delete messages from the server"? Because despite my account being set-up this way my emails were being deleted (or archived, either way, disappeared!) nevertheless. That's specifically why i wanted to detail why I did what I did as I'm sure this issue could catch other people out.
POP is designed to catch mails AND clean up your email account on the server.
This makes sense when you have limited storage space (i have an arcor account too and have only 25mb on there).
From my knowledge the client and server must support the "leave emails on server".
Look in desktop Outlook you have the opportunity to check a box with this option.
In our pda version of outlook we dont have that option.
This is mostly the reason that the emails get deleted when using POP.
IMAP is designed to give you the opportunity to have a look at your emails like on the server.
When you read an email on your pda the mail will be automatically flagged as read on the server too.
It is some kind of sync.
There are these two well known ways just to give you the opportunity and fulfil your needs. Just use the one that serves you well.
In your case this will be IMAP
"From my knowledge the client and server must support the "leave emails on server".
Look in desktop Outlook you have the opportunity to check a box with this option.
In our pda version of outlook we dont have that option"
When i was setting up the account on the HD2 I was ticking this option to leave message on server upon deletion (see screen shot), although it seems i was misunderstanding this function.
Yeah the function you checked was only for the deleted mails.
It just tells the server what to do with the mails that you deleted on your device.
Sounds good, I'd just replace imap access on the HD2 with activesync, even better.
I'm interested in what your "weird configuration in outlook that makes you not able to use imap" is though.
