somehow I cannot complete the process to add another mail account
Ive added gmail, now I wanted to add my school email account but it will not go any further then step 4/5, no matter what I try. I am not connected to the internet, which supposedly is good (the help file says so)
anyone run into this problem?
I have two pop accounts installed on my Jam, works no prob. there is a page when configuring the accounts the has Account information account type POP3 and by default has Name as POP3...have you been changing the names? because it will probably cause a problem having two accounts named POP3. I call my account Yahoo and Uni mail and have never had a problem.

I ve tried the gmail account, unfortunatelly it wont worked on my MDA, I dont really know about the configuration. So anybody can help me with this?
Thank you.. :lol:
HTC 6800 (bell) using the builtin email app.
Every time i use Gmail to send out a email i see that same email in the "inbox" folder after. Whats even more annoying is i get notifications for this since the email i sent appears in my INBOX folder. When i check my "Sent" folder, its empty - even though ive sent 100's of emails from my device.
Anyone experiencing this? Anyone know what may be the cause of it?
I also have Lotus Notes emails being retrieved by my phone and i don't not experience this behavior with that account.

I was having the exact same problem, thanks for the solution.
Atropo - worked. thanks for the solution.
thanks!
ETA: looks like a spoke too soon, now it doesnt recieve any mail at all, and it deleted all the messeges that were already stored on the phone
suggestions?
I still have the same problem of sent mail being in the inbox as new mail.
Deep breath everyone...
You need the "recent:" in your login name or you won't get any emails at all. Seeing the sent messages in the Inbox is just a quirk of Gmail. Get use to it.
Any solution to this issue yet?
It would be nice to fix, but doubt it will happen.
I get a copy of the message I sent in my inbox on my 6800 even if I compose and send the message from the web on my Mac or from Entourage on the same Mac.
Like TC1 said, it's a GMail quirk...
Here's what I do to avoid loosing new messages and to NOT see your own sent items:
Setup a second GMail account, with any name you desire (no one will ever see it)
For instance:
[email protected]
&
[email protected]
Foward ALL mail from [email protected] > [email protected].
Setup your PPC to only check [email protected], but to only SEND mail using the login/password for [email protected].
And of course, use "recent:" before the username of the [email protected] account.
This works wonders. I've actually got about 7 e-mail accounts fowarding to my single mobile account. Granted, with this method you're always sending from just one account, but in the event you only have one and want Gmail to funciton properly, I find this is the best solution.
Hope it helps!

I had problems with syncing my googlemail account with my HD2, and couldn't get old messages to sync. I've now fixed this thanks to advice received on here, at least for my inbox. It still won't sync sent mail, or other mail folders, even though I've checked them in the box to sync in "mail menu>tools>manage folders"
Can anyone help with this issue?
I'm confused. If you use the IMAP protocol then your email folders get synced anyway. That's how mine works (not bothered with push-mail as I don't need it).
Can you explain your problem better please?

For me, Gmail sync worked nicely for inbox but not for sent messages. After working a lot on the problem, I found that you have to specify folders (meaning sent mail folder) also on Activesync on your PC with the HD2 connected. At least syncing sent mails then worked for me. So, check out the active sync desktop sync settings also.

My inbox syncs but no the sent message folder doesn't, nor do other folders from my gmail account.
Yes you are right re Gmail. I am rooting around for a solution at the moment. Will let you know if I find one.
Have got a gut feel that youmight only be able to do the full folder set through outlook. I'm searching now.

Had a look at active sync, and there's no setting for Gmail. There is one for Email, but this does not affect Gmail. Any other ideas?
Hi, well I am now a bit unsure about my suggestion to fix it via Active sync on the PC. I just now had to reinstall gmail (after hard reset for other reasons), and initially I did not get any mails in the sent folder. However, I then unchecked the sync mark for "sent mails" both on the HD2 and PC. Then rechecked them. Still did not work. Then I sent an email, and voila first this email got into the sent folder, and after some seconds all the rest of the sent mails on my gmail account appeared.
So, end result is that after changing back and forth whether to sync the sent mail folder, and sending emails, I got it to work. Not a very clear help, sorry, but I am sure you will get it in order in the end
Snerkler,
I have been hunting around and experimenting all day. Its not good news.
Look here..http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=0263a42300d6bc90&hl=en
I can't get any other folder to sync bar the inbox, even though I have now changed the way I do this on my device to push mail via google sync.
I think the only way, which I did not test, is to use Outlook on a PC as your mail client accessing Google mail using the IMAP4 protocol so your messages remain synced at all times, then sync your phone to your laptop and get all your folders that way.
I have not tested that out as I don't have the time. It may work or it may be complete cobblers.
If anybody else can throw any positive light on this then please do.

I'll give it a go syncing to outlook later and see what happens, cheers
Noticed something very strange with Gmail. I've just logged onto my Gmail account and I now have 2 sent mail folders since using my HD2. One has all mail sent from my laptop, and one the mail sent from the HD2.
Does anyone know why this is and how to merge the 2?

I just looked at the link you posted about gmail, and it appears it's someting to do with gmail's servers or something. What I don't understand is why it worked fine on my iphone, but not my HD2. Perhaps someone can explain? (May I just remind folk I'm not that clued up on all the tech stuff)
Also, I have outlook on my computer linked to my googlemail account, and am trying to figure out how to set outlook on my phone to sync with it, but I sure as hell can't figure it out. I've searched "outlook" but can't find the answer. Does it only sync when connected to the computer? if so this means I wouldn't be able to access my mail whilsst out and about so no use to me

Using the link posted above I've used this method
"The only other workaround I can think of is to set-up a filter on the web-side of gmail that filters any items you have sent into the new 'Sent Items' folder, which was created when the mobile sync took place. This way, at least your sent mail will show up under 'Sent Items' on the phone. Again, not optimal, but is another option. The major downside to this option is if you use Outlook, you will actually see 2 send item messages, the original and the one that is filtered"
At least I can now see all sent email, although I cannot retrieve old sent email, ie those sent prior to setting up a filter. But from now on at least it should be ok, fingers crossed. I've not managed to sync outlook to the phone as it's on my personal computer, and as I understand it I need to be linked to an exchange server (whatever that is) to be able to sync
Hello again,
Take a look at this.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5065742&postcount=7
Works for me at the moment but still testing. Note that the number of items synced/downloaded seems to be determined by the global setting you set of how many days worth of emails you want downloading and what size.
I would advice care in syncing too many folders if you use the method above as:
a) it may take ages to do and
b) rapidly kill your battery.
I have simply gone for Inbox & Sent, which will do me for now while I am on the move.

Hi everyone,
I need help with my friends X10.
We set up a gmail address for her, when she got the phone --> [email protected] but she didn't like that address so she never used it. That address was registered with the phone by going to the mobile section of the googlemail site, and sending a text to the phone.
I have since deleted this account from her phone... the reason being she set up a new address -> [email protected] but it seems she played around with that a bit, trying to synch emails etc
This [email protected] account still appears on her phone because when I look for synchronisation, and look at google, I can see it in a panel. This phone is set up for [email protected].
She decided to set up a third address, yes, we are going to call that [email protected]
She has set up this address on the PC,. and sends her hotmail and other emails to it. We can see on the PC that emails have indeed been moved to the gmail account.
We do not seem to be able to synchronise the [email protected] mail, calendar and contacts with her X10. If I click on the account, I can check mail, calendar and contacts but despite seeing some activity with a synchronisation icon, nothing synchs!
I have also cleared the data from apps ->? google apps.
Any advice? I will meet her tomorrow and will ask her to show me her phone again.
I wonder whether we should delete all email accounts and reinstall.
I don't want to do a factory reset and start again.

What was wrong with the first and second email?, and have you cleared the Gmail app data too?

I think she didn't think the names through, so now she dislikes them. The number 3 address is the one she likes.
Yes, I did clear gmail app data but will see her again tomorrow, and repeat that procedure.

Hello, I recently reset my hd2 and my email settings didnt survive.
Now my emails are deleting after a few days when it didnt used to.
Can anyone tell me where the setting is to fix this??
thanks,
-CrazyPostalGirl
Exchange account, or internet email?
Are the emails deleting on the actual email account, or just off the phone?
its my AOL account linked to my phone. as far as I know its just deleting from the phone itself.
thanks,

When setting these up it asks you how many days worth of emails you want to keep so it doesn't pull your entire Gmail inbox for instance that might contain thousands of emails.
