I configured my work email to work with Nexus One's stock email app. I can download emails from the server, but there's a problem.
In the case of most messages, whenever I mark them as read, they are marked as unread again whenever I update my mail account from the server.
I deleted and configured this account 3-4 times already, but it's always the case.
Any fix?
EDIT:
When I configure it for the firs time, all the emails are unread. There are the ones that I actually open and they won't revert back to being unread. However, the ones that I just marked as read (with the "Mark Read" button while they are selected) revert back to being unread
same thing.
i thought it's something wrong with the email server (i have some live.com and hotmail.com email accounts installed). no problems with the gmail accounts tho.
to solve this annoying problem (if unread then you's keep receiving notifications), i have to open every single emails to actually 'read' them.
i am looking for a better way to solve this.

This is a bit offtopic, but do you find it slow to fetch messages too? My iPod Touch downloads messages for the same account faster
I have exactly the same problem on my N1..
If anyone knows how to fix, please tell us too. thanks.
p.s. I don't think it's problem at mail server, it should be the email app problem for sure. Because I using pop3. the read/unread status is handle at email client app.

Yep. My iPod Touch downloads the mails from the same server without any issue
I mentioned this before on another thread but I use my main Gmail to poll all my POP3 accounts which are then pushed to the Gmail App labelled. I don't use the Email App at all.

How can I configure both my Jasjar and my GMail account to keep all my e-mails on my Jasjar everytime it attempts a send and receive? At the moment it just wipes them clear, leaving me up the creek without so much as a paddle.
Vanishing GMAIL
...bizarre - was just about to post the same question. This is very frustrating! You have to be quick to read your mail, as when the device performs another send and receive it wipes ur inbox!
I used to use Gmail with a POP account with ActiveSync Email with Hotmail with Text and with MMS all coexisting simultaneously and have never had the problem you indicated, all my mails remain until I delete them of my own accord.
Sorry I am not much help. I recently stopped syncing my Gmail as it just didnt get used, I now only use it to store my emails that I want to keep for a long long long time and use my hotmail account for every tom **** and harry that wants an email address
I just simply followed the steps on the gmail website to setup and never lost any.
I've just had a little play and it seems that it might have something to do with what happens to the e-mail on the GMail servers once it's been downloaded using POP.
I have been using POP to access my GMail account and I agree with Simon_Darley... it all works fine.
I use Gmail as a spam filter from various email addresses I have.... I copy (autoforward) all mails from all my different email addresses automatically so it filters the spam, and keeps the mails safe for me so I have an archive of all my incoming messages in one place.
I'm happy to compare settings if you want me to help
This has ALWAYS worked for me:

and yes I do exactly the same as Budgie... forward any other email account to my Gmail...
I've got it sorted. I had to change it to keep all of the e-mails in the inbox once they'd be downloaded using POP; made sense really.

I have used the settings above and can receive my mail but I can't send GMail, all I get is the following message...
"Unable to connect to the incoming mail server. Verify that the server name is correct then try again to send and receive mail."
Is it possible to send mail for Gmail from the Exec?
Has anyone got Hotmail account settings as this would be very useful too :?:
Any help would be appreciated :?

yes if you follow the instructions and configure correctly sending/receiving works perfectly...
Don't you have Pocket MSN ?
Make sure you turn off the setting which deletes mails over 3 days old. This setting seems to be the default. Also have your gmail keep a copy of the messages and not delete them. (You have 2GB on gmail so its not much of a problem.)
You can also send email using gmail, just use the settings they give you (smtp.gmail.com I think?) and make sure you have SSL enabled.
Hello,
i have created a threat in the wizard forum, and now i see you have these problems too.
My wizard delete ALL Mail in Incoming when i send a mail. Whats the Reasen for this? Damn i want to keep my mail!
what worked for me is :
option 3/3
get message headers only
include 999kb of message body
using this setting I can send & receive when I want without losing my mail.
Damn jag_freeman you are the best!!! How do you get this idea??? But it works!!!!!
This is what I"m Interested in. When I send emails from my Tilt, I want them to save to my Sent box, Just Like a regular txt message. I have Mail2web email but they dont provide this feature for the free Account. I love mail2web but the no sent emails in the box is my only Gripe. Now to remedy this I tried setting up Gmail, But for some reason when I set up Gmail using Pop3 any outgoing mail I send will appear back in mt Inbox as Well as my sent Box( This is Very annoying). If I set up Gmail using Imap, nothing will get saved in the Sent Box....
Any Ideas or can anyone help me with this Bug in Gmail or a better way to set this up ?
As of yet I havent been able to fix this.
In outlook 2003+ on windows you can specify IMAP folders but as of yet on Winmo I havent been able to do this.
Ok I thought I was the only Idoit not getting this to Work ! It's annoying and I've been working on it for about a week.... I"m Puzzeled !
even the online version of gmail sends stuff back to your inbox... makes it like threaded messages.

I Dont mean Including the Orginal txt in the Email. I mean it will resend me my out-going Email As a New email in my Inbox ?
It Does this online as Well from an actually Computer ? I"ve never experienced this ?
Has anyone ever found a solution to this ?
sending is not handled by pop3 or imap both those protocols are only for recieving
both of them use smtp for sending mails
i'm using IMAP for my gmail access and the default is to not sync the sent folder, anything i send only resides on gmail itself, i don't get it showing in my inbox as well. Haven't tried setting sent to sync as well, i don't need to see what i have sent.
mail2web is aggrivating me, any other FREE accounts out there? It wont sync 2 save my life,...
OK, just gone into the folder management side of my PPC's gmail account and flaged Sent items for sync as well as my Inbox and hey presto they have all appeared. Had to make sure the folder at the top was checked and not the obvious sent folder but its synching my sent items.
To clarify my PPC gmail folder list looks like this:
Gmail
[Google Mail]​All Mail
Bin
Drafts
Sent Mail
Spam
Starred​
and below this i have folders for any categories i have created as well as the default Inbox. Checking the top Sent Itmes has synched it with gmail.
the gmail works fine for the main email
but when connecting to secondary accounts the default app sucks WM was much better!!
Try K9...
K9 is a better POP3/IMAP client now available from the marketplace.
still can't select multiple emails to delete, or simply empty the trashcan.
2 absolutely essentials that are pissing me off.
I just want to know if anyone has successfully gotten their Hotmail to work with the email client and how. This is really getting on my nerves.

Unless you have Hotmail Plus it won't work.
Yes, I too would like to get hotmail working. Does anyone know of any new advances with getting it to work on the G1? I have hotmail plus and it still doesn't work. It always has a connection error and or it downloads about 15 of my oldest messages and then has a connection error?
maybe someone can hack the gmail push email program and create a universal push email program
let me continue...
message saved as drafts remain in the drafts folder even after send the email out. connection errors galore. i've had messages will sit in the outbox for over 30 mins even though i have a connection and i can download new messages. can you even create folders for pop3? it is just crap, crap and more crap. google should be embarrassed.

I think both of you have issues not related to the G1. They sound like it is a user issue. I get notifications, I had to check them on, It autoupdates (I choose 1 hour) The layout seems fine. I know what has been read and what has not. You really can't forward a message until you have read the entire message. That would be like me quoting your post before it posted to the forum. Gmail and Outlook both save my messages as drafts, if I go back to that message and send it, it is still saved in the draft folder. However Gmail takes it a step further and saves my messages as drafts every 5 minutes until I sent it or save it for good. Connection errors are because of the network, and Can also cause the messages staying in your outbox. In fact with POP3 messages can act weird even if it has nothing to do with the client. POP3 can't create folders it just downloads the actual message. You need IMAP which is a lot better and has a lot more options. I think that would help most your problems. And I would check to make sure that your servers are receiving the correct information along with checking your settings for the correct information also.
Please report bugs!
If you've found bugs in K-9, please report them to us at http://code.google.com/p/k9mail .
The code was originally based on the built-in android Mail application, but we're making pretty quick progress on bugs and features considering that we just stepped into this codebase.
i think you are basing your post on your gmail mail, i am refering to pop3 accounts in particular. i don't use gmail, but it seems that people are saying that it works for the most part.
i got notifications the first couple of days for my pop3 email, then it stopped working and unselecting and resetting the notification does not turn it back on. i believe this is a known issue.
in my desktop outlook, or pocket outlook and also thunderbird, when a message is in my drafts folder and i eventually send that message out, it is moved from my drafts to the sent folder. the message is sent, it is no longer a draft.
why wouldn't i be allowed to create folders for pop3 email? imap just auto creates the directory structure you have on your mail server.
yes, i do know that connection errors are due to connection errors, but when messages sit in my outbox, while i send test messages to myself and i can receive them, that is not due to my phone network errors.
i will go and log things i see...i hope to see an improvement.
thanks
I agree that the email client is the worst part of this phone
I use POP3 but I hear people complaining the same way about IMAP.
How about something simple e.g. number of bloody messages coming in.
"Load more messages"
What the hell does that mean ? When has there EVER been a load more messages prompt in an email program. I've been using email since back in the days of Pine and I always have a sense of how many messages are in my inbox. Apparently not for the G1.
No easy way to sort messages - and the connection errors just go without saying.
Nick
totally agree about the "load more messages".....why not give you an option to pick how many it loads by default.?..... senseless

Don't need to hack it, gmail will push anything you want (well, most anything...)

This works because of the software gmail uses... not the software on your phone.
Push is a server side implication, while Pull is client side. So if you find a way to Pull email as well as gmail can push than you are on to something.
At least all of you are lucky enough to get your pop3 email setup. It won't even accecpt mine. I have Mediacom (mail.mchsi.com) and it won't even set my 2 mediacom email accounts up. Just says server connection error. My AT&T Tilt never had a problem setting these accounts up. Definately need something new for a pop3 email client. K-9 does the same thing as the default email client.

are you using the correct ports?
I got it to work. I never had to use SSL before. Not even in Outlook for this account or on my WM6.1. But setting the G1 to SSL mail sever did the trick. Now I'm just disgusted with how it handles mail, slow, does not display stuff, won't delete, incorrect un-read messages, read messages mark themselves unread everytime it checks the mail. I hope RC31 brings relief to these and other mail troubles (too many to remember).

It has been perfect for my mail, are you using pop3?
this has been my main complaint from day one.
Worst email app ever.
I have a Nexus One working fine on Orange.
I use it for my Blueyonder email account which is set up just the same as it was on my Hero.
The problem is this:
I get the email notification to say i have new emails, then i go into my emails and the emails are there. Then it starts to refresh my emails and then before my eyes there all disappear! It deletes them before i have chance to read them.
If i then go onto my pc to check my emails there are none there. So its obviously deleting them from the server.
Now i have checked double and triple checked the settings.Its definitely not set to delete from server or even delete when read.
Any help will be appreciated as i dont know what is going on and I'm losing important emails.
I take it you are using the native email client?
Maybe this is not the answer that you are looking for but I use the Gmail App instead of the native Email client. That way I get the benefit of Push without having to refresh.
If you are interested in doing the same then all you have to do is..on your PC:
Gmail > Settings > Accounts and Import > Check mail using POP3: > Add POP3 email account.
Then all blueyonder emails will be pushed to the Gmail App and you can set a label for them as well.
Yes i am. I`m just upset that it doesnt work just like the Hero did. That was spot on..
I`ll try your idea if no one comes up with a solution for me. Cheers.
I agree with Abbsta... you should to add your blueyonder account to gmail and receive all your blueyonder emails in gmail account.
it is much easier and being a google phone it works well with gmail accounts...
I did what you said and its spot on cheers..
Just an update. Spoke to HTC had no idea why it was doing but suggested i use imap instead of pop3.
It worked!
I have been using the new HTC Email app for my work e-mail and I am noticing that when I mark an email as Read on the server or in my desktop email client it doesn't mark as read on my phone.
When I read an email on my phone it does not mark the email as read on the server.
Anyone else experiencing this issue? Anyone have any ideas on a solution.
Thanks

mark as read
I had the same problem with 1 particular email. I signed into my gmail account outside of the app and found the email in question to mark as read. That was a one time thing for me and I haven't had it happen. Is this a re-occurring issue with yours?
I have that problem also and it also does not show all messages in my inbox only the most recent.
Anyone know how to fix this problem?
Have exactly the same problem with my school imap server. It worked for a while, but since (I do not know what caused it) the first time it didn't "remember" read, it goes the same for any mail that comes. So if I don't go to the mail server on computer marking all as read there, they will always refresh on the device as unread. Even if I delete them on device, they will come as new messages on the device again. HTC HD2 mail server: is.muni.cz
Any help?
I can't say I have issues with my mail client when first viewing on my phone. That sounds more like POP not IMAP but I digress.
Have you tried deleting and re-adding the account?

Yes, I tried it multiple times, double checking if the settings for IMAP in my school server haven't changed. They did not. And yes, it sure is IMAP, cause I didn't want to use POP for several reasons. I have also a Gmail account (with using IMAP), but this one does not make these problems. However I don't think the problem is on their side... I think they should have IMAP covered. But noone knows. I've already contacted their administrator, waiting for response.
It very well could be an issue with your school's settings. Check with your friends to see if they notice any of those issues.
turn off 'keep on server'
