Email Delay

I'm having troubles with pop email accounts, I'm not being notified for new emails, they do not show up in my inbox until i manually open the email client - I have my client to auto check every 5 minutes, yet if I don't check for half a day and then login I have emails from all times of the day being loaded into my inbox.
my friend is having the issue, was wondering if anyone else was?
It's with hotmail, yahoo and ever business emails servers.
suggestions?
Thanks in advanced

nobody noticed that there email isn't polling when it should be?

If you are using an app-killer, make sure your email app isnt killed with it, since that would eliminate the option to auto-fetch emails.

Pls check these items.
Have you add to auto kill list? then remove it. along with email app.
com.andorid.provider.download
google.android.apps.uploader
data sync should be on.
try it.
Im sure yore battery life wont last 2 days. and why did you setup pop3? Go for Imap it saves resources and disk space.
Let your computer do POP3 work.

no appkiller of any kind installed
I just noticed now I havn't received emails to my phone in the last 3 days, I had to manualy open the app to fetch it, update is set to 30 min
I use moxier and it updates and polls fine,
email app doesn't.
x10a rooted on o24 software
every other functions works great

On the first day I got the phone, before doing anything (root) to it, I also noticed that it didn't poll. Had it set for 5 minutes, background data on and it did nothing. Never polled once all day.
So rather than waste my time with something (else) from SE that didn't work I just installed K-9 Mail and never looked backed since

i have all my accounts forwarded to my gmail which i believe is push on android phones (someone correct me if im wrong), although this probably doesnt save battery life, i prefer having my email pushed

agree...just let gmail take care of it

I prefer to reply or send emails from my actual email account, I did use k9 for a while and it was working and i do like all the additional advanced features it offers. All I need is basic send/receive from a basic client and the android email app is suppose to work like that.
thanks so far guys

The regular email client is a bit lacking. Your issue isn't common though. Must be just missing something in the setting somewhere...if not you could always do the total reset on the phone i guess if you really had too.
I recently just caved in and made the full switch to Gmail for all of my accounts. Much easier to manage. It IS full push email I believe, plus imap makes things so much easier it's not even comparible.
It's too bad the gmail app on the phone won't let you send from multiple addys, but the web interface is good for sending from a diff addy in a pinch.

Just checked it today, App killer was set for auto kill after a hour. Disabled, now push email works.....

Gmail apps vs email app

I actually prefer to use the email app. Problem is, the email app doesn't seem to download updates until I open it (even with it on ignore in Task MGR). Email app set to download every 10 mins. The Gmail app, however, seems to auto download updates.
Any seen or know of a solution?

The Gmail app supports push notifications, which means as soon as you get an email, you'll get it on your phone. But with the email app, it resorts to polling (checking for new messages every 10 minutes) so it refreshes only when you open it

Lucky you, but my gmail app doesn't do anything. I feel that its always off since I don't get any email notification on ie.

Makes sense. I just like the look of the email app better, but I guess u need to stick with gmail for the push ability.

Go to Settings in the Gmail app and make sure that Email Notifications is checked. That's the whole point of using Gmail compared to Hotmail/Yahoo.. (atleast for now)

It annoys me how you can't select multiples in th stock app. I use K9, it has colours (including led flash) for each account, push, and most importantly, multiple select.

Can the SE email app be removed without causing any problems?

What about in Settings/Data Sync - I think you need Google Sync, and then Google Mail Sync selected too.

settings ---> data synchronization ---> synchronize with Gmail

right, I forgot to check that back after the 100th times of rooting.
Thank you,

[Q] Getting Gmail to update when deleting emails from computer?

Hi,
I have an issue that I'm not sure how to solve.
I have a Gmail account that I access via the TF and my X10 phone, and my laptop.
When I do things like delete mail from my laptop gmail, and then I open up gmail on my TF (or my X10 for that matter) those same emails will still be there...I have to manually delete them from my android devices.
Is there a setting I'm missing that needs to be set differently?

How long are you waiting between the moment you delete the e-mail(s) from your laptop and the moment you check your devices to see if they register that the e-mail(s) are actually gone? When you access your Gmail account from your laptop are you using the web-based Gmail page or have you setup your favoured e-mail client to receive them instead? If you're using the web-based method then try waiting a few minutes for your Android devices to catch up to the latest change, it should eventually sync the changes.

That's weird , after only a minute or so of making changes to my Gmail account such as changing a message's label my devices usually have caught up by then. The changes to my mind should get sent to your TF when you next connect to WiFi, or if you're already connected it should get 'pushed' within a minute or two. As for how often you 'should' sync your folders, your choice .

Well maybe something is set wrong on my android devices....
I can be out...delete a read email on my phone, an hour later go to my TF or my laptop and have to delete the same email from there.

Try the other way round, i.e. delete an e-mail or make some other change like a label change on the TF first, then check the phone and tell me if anything different happens.

I take it that you are not using the Gmail app?

Dave

That went really fast...maybe one minute or so. I deleted it off of the TF and within 1 minute it was off of my phone and I checked Gmail on the laptop and it was gone too...
Maybe it's only when deleting from the web version that it takes a while to be gone from the tf?
I'll try again...maybe this was all my imagination...or there was just a temporary glitch.

Check the account sync settings on your phone, perhaps your phone isn't currently set to auto-sync any changes or new stuff to your account.

The only thing this sounds like is that you have syncing turned off.

I mean the TF app called "Gmail" as opposed to the one that is called "Email" - the reason I ask is that you are talking about IMAP and the Gmail app does not use IMAP.
Regards,
Dave

The IMAP settings are in my phone...not the TF.
I'm not sure what's going on now...it seems to be working fine....I think that there was a setting wrong and I also wasn't paying attention to what was going on...

[Q] From desire to SGSII Happy but...

Hello I just switched from HTC Desire (very good phone) to the SGSII (Better)...
And i am quite happy with my desicion. I have only two things that are a problem right now.
1. I am missing the Sense Mail widgets.
2. GPS Inaccuracy.
So my questions are:
1. Mail widget...
I am looking for a mail widget that binds to a specific account. So i have 4 email accounts and i want to bind the widget to one of them.
So if I want to use all mail accounts I will have to place 4 widgeds and configure them for each maill account. And preferebly they should show the subject.
2. GPS inaccuracy in Navigon
I was driving a road and where my desire had pinpoint accuracy, the Sammy thought I was about 60 meters to the right, and started to bark all kind of instructions to get back to the road (where i already was on)....
So anybody can help me? (Need mail widget the most) the widgets from launcher pro are what i need but I wat to jump to the correct mail client (that shows the message as it should be) Launcher pro has it's own mail renderere and that's not what i want.

The GPS in SGS2 works very well for me, so that is not a general issue.
But maybe the circumstances were bad at the time, you can only compare with Desire if you had it with you at at the same time, because satellites are moving and weather is changing etc.
Did you have big buildings close to the roads? That can cause disturbances.
Do you have A-GPS enabled? (enable "use wireless networks" in Location settings menu).

Can you explain why you would not want to push all your different email accounts from where-ever to one Gmail account and only use that one?! There should be plenty of gmail widgets on the market.

1. Hotmail is my privat email.
2. Exchange is corporate with required pin
3. Gmail = rubbish mail....
So I only want to be notified when I receive a Private or corporate mail....
and if i look, i want to see private or corporate depending on what I am doing.
Maybe I am a bit old, but i don't want a unified inbox. I want it organized as it was on my HTC.
I could do thi son my HTC without rooting and it worked like a charm....
I Really like the speed and screen of the SGII but i really do miss my Sense widgets...
I have spend a lot of money in the appstore opnly to get this functionality, I tried a lot, Pure Messenger widget and everything... Needed root, but could not read my exchange mail, uninstall and find the mail app broken, had to flash (now on KG2)
But a HTC has this functionality out of the box with no extra charge.....

How is Gmail rubbish when you can have all those corporate mail and hotmail and whatnot in there and they are not unified but you can access them separately via the gmail app? To me it seems that you are just stuck to 90's
Edit *i have my own business mail account there (own domain), my second work (work for another company) mail there (2 domains) and my personal gmail there. I also have multiple different email addresses from my own business there unified for a seperate account. All organised and working like a ****ing BOSS!

I am not old fashioned, but I use hotmail for mail and google for searches.....
No need to give them all info......
But..... If it is possible to have google read my Excahnge account so i do not have that dumb policy enforced on my pone i would consider a switch.
And i guess you are telling me it's possible ?......

There is an app called touchdown for exchange mail, works pretty well and you won't be enforced to set a pin to the lock screen. You just need to set a pin to open the app.

Not everything is as simple as you think.... Oh wait..... for you it probably is..... (but that's probably due to a lack of processing power.....)
If I would give you 1% of my thoughts your brain would probably overload....

[Q] Galaxy S4 Stock Email App. So many flaws?

Got my new Galaxy S4. What is up with the email app? are you able to have it push email? i dont want it to poll every 5 minutes, i need my emails instantly...
I turned on sync in the email app, which apparently this is not push, anyways, throughout the day when i open the email app i get a popup saying email sync disabled. Why?
Can anyone confirm that the search function works?? I have my email set up as an imap account, whenever i want to search something in my email i get 0 results, and if i hit the search on server, it does not bring up anything either. This happens with all my email accounts on my phone, and my wife's accounts on her GS4. Any idea why??
I have a rooted S4, not using a custom rom. I have tried K9 email but it is just plain ugly. I actually like how the stock email app looks but nothing works!
I searched all over the internet and i dont see anything on most of these issues so im assuming im doing something wrong if nobody else is talking about this. Please, any help would be awesome. My wife wants her iphone back because of this.

I use the stock email app with no issues. I have it set to recieve from my work exchange account, my outlook and gmail accounts. All are push, and all of mine are searchable with no issues.
You may try erasing the account, and then resetting it. I know my outlook account is also an exchange server, but the gmail I think is IMAP. All mine have the check box "sync email" checked, and I set all to push notifications. Be sure you are setting up the account in the email app itself, that may help.

Where do you see the email push setting? only see sync, and whenever i turn on sync, i get a popup a few hours later when i open the app that sync has been disabled. Even when i enable sync, it gives me the option for sync schedule for at most every 15 minutes.
As far as the search, i use godaddy imap and yahoo. I cant search anything out of what is showing when i open the app. It shows me default of i think 25 emails when i open the app and if i scroll to the bottom it starts to load more. When i do a search, it only searches through what is loaded and when i do continue searching on server i get nothing more. The only results is what is in the 25 loaded messages, or 50 messages if i scroll down at let it load more...

The email app on the iphone is far better than the stock email app on the SGS4. I think the stock email app on the SGS4 is utter crap, at least with IMAP. Maybe it works better with exchange. I use Kaiten, which is an upgraded/updated version of K9. Another one that I looked at briefly was AquaMail.

The thing is i actually really like the email app on the GS4. I think the layout is nice and the email app is one of the few times i actually feel that the air view feature is really useful. The problem is, is that it is not reliable. I need my emails instantly and the email app is not getting it for me. I just figured out the search problem i was having. If i just change in the settings messages to load from 25 to "total" all of my messages will be there and search is fine. I still wish there is a way to have my emails come instantly rather than every 15 minutes. Aside from the push issue, what else do you dislike about the stock app that the other apps have? The only thing i noticed on the iphone is the push option...

Four major issues are (and there are other minor issues):
- Lack of IMAP IDLE (push)
- When you reply to someones message, the text in their message is reformatted in your reply (font changes and line spacing changes). Looks unprofessional for work email.
- html hyperlinks are sometimes not properly parsed and are unclickable. I get a news service hyperlinks to articles. None of the hyperlinks work on the stock email client. I have to forward the message to gmail or something to click on the hyperlinks.
- emails sent from stock email client do not sync properly and have a different format on my outlook client.
Kaiten has none of these problems. These are not problems with the iphone app either.

plus, to update on the syncing being disabled. I set the sync to on, reboot my phone, opened the mail app and i get the pop up that says sync disabled. I open the settings and the sync option is no longer checked.

Just tried Kaiten...It was downloading so many copies of my emails. It showed each email at least 4 times...uninstalled...

They are correct, the one I looked at was my Outlook.com email address, and my work address. The gmail address shows the same thing as yours.

I guess the news hasn't gotten around fully. Gmail accounts to do not support push with anything other than the native stock android gmail app anymore (since, when exactly, I don't remember. March or April of this year?). In that particular case, it's not the fault of the Samsung email app. No other app besides the official "gmail" app will receive emails by push from a gmail account, and that includes any email applications on any other system from iphone to any other operating system. Blame gmail.

The only thing I miss by using the stock email app is that I can't get it to come up in the combined inbox by default...I have to select it each time which is a bummer.

you think you got it bad, i paid for unlock code on a rogers 1337m and had the push option.
when i inserted a telus sim and and unlocked it, it force reset the phone, force factory reset rather, and now i dont have push.
i also picked up some crappy apps from telus
confused.
