50 email limit in Hotmail

Hi there,
I've tried searching for this but can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I want to be able to download all my hotmail emails to my HTC Touch HD, but currently theres a limit to 50 on my hotmail account.
Is there anyway of doing this? I'm sure I used to be able to do it on a previous version of windows mobile but can't seem to now. It seems so bizaare that you can't, as I often want to go back to old emails, and don't always want to go through the web to get these.
Maybe there's a better email application, or even outlook for windows mobile which I could use?
Thanks for any help,
Tom

try setting up your email account using Outlook Mobile's POP3 settings (pop3.live.com / smtp.live.com). during the setup process don't use the real email address @hotmail, or @msn or @live, use @hotmaill, @msnn or @livee. once you've completed the setup you can go back to change to the correct email account name. the only downside is you lose the push feature. your phone will poll your email account based on the interval you select during setup. i'm using this setup for my MSN account, where email arrives every 5 minutes duirng the day and every 30 minutes in the evenings.

Thanks mate, thats perfect. Don't need to have push email anyway.
Cheers, Tom

Hotmail account on HD
Hi all,
Anyway of getting my hotmail account to go through the Outlook on the phone, WITHOUT having my account on Messenger?
It seems you can only have one account setup on messenger, as as my messenger account.
Now when you setup messenger using a hotmail account, you have the option to get all emails going through the outlook, and download to the phone as normal.
BUT I dont use a hotmail account for my messenger, and my main email accoutn is a hotmail account... hope this doesnt confuse you! But my messenger is a "dead account" and any emails sent to that email go no where.
So If i try setup my hotmail account in the outlook, put in all the setting like email address, password ect, it just takes me to hotmail.com on my Opera browser, but does not save the settings in outlook?
Sorry for confusion!

Not sure I've followed you correctly.
I also don't use messenger but I do have hotmail on my device in emails tab. I used Windows Live to set it up which is on most HD roms. Once you've gone through process of setting up and sync'ing your hotmail account will appear in emails tab like any other email account

Ah yeah, but the problem is, Windows Live just like messenger only lets you have one accoutn setup at once.
So I set my hotmail up with windows live, my emails appear. Thats good.
But then it also sets Messenger up, with the hotmail account, which I dont want, if you get me?

you might be able to setup multiple hotmail accounts using the method listed here. i use this to access 2 msn accounts and 1 live account. not push, but works just as well.

HTC Email app not working for Gmail

The last email I received on my Hero via HTC Email app is at 8.46am.
If I sync by wifi or Tmobile 2g I dont get any more emails.
The Gmail app does, my ipod Touch does. I have deleted the email account and recreated but no change.
Any ideas.

Just checked my yahoo account with HTC Mail and this works fine.
Has Google got issues??? I have all the correct imap settings
imap.gmail.com SSL port 993
smtp.gmail.com SSL port 465

I configured a gmail account in HTC Mail and it has been working fine. Only had to enter my accountname (mail address) and password. And HTC Mail configured everything else. Maybe you shouldn't configure your Gmail account manually?

Works fine for me. Both accounts I have set up are refreshed properly. I'd try deleting the account and setting it up again to see if this does the trick.

I have already deleted account.
Can you tell me if the Google email auto account settings by HTC are POP or IMAP?
If its pop3, then I wont be able to view the folders.
What I dont understand is this email has been working for nearly 2 weeks no issues.
Baffled.

Just deleted any did the HTC auto setup. Gmail setup as IMAP will same settings as I did manually, but still the newer messages from today are not showing.
This is really p*ssing me off.

Just come off the phone from HTC UK Technical support. I was speaking to a lovely lady who was very helpful. It took 30 mins but we solved it.
In a nutshell from my laptop I deleted some emails from my inbox , 5 in total out of 13 and suddenly the HTC Mail app was taking ages to sync and then voila.
It appears as if the sync status on the app got corrupted. But all working.
Happy now, and I must say a big thank you to HTC support

Hah, this is weird. I deleted and re-created my both accounts (IMAP) to check if I could reproduce your issue, but they were still syncing fine for me.
Glad you got it all sorted out.

Yahoo! IMAP over Wi-Fi Working with Stock Mail

Hello All! Forever I've wanted my mail combined in the stock app, but Yahoo! IMAP wouldn't work over wi-fi without using K9, etc. I tried again and have success thanks to mtwebster's git commit: http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Email/commits/froyo
If you want your Yahoo! mail in the stock email (vanilla email client, not htc) app, add your IMAP account manually as usual and use the following incoming and outgoing servers:
Incoming server: imap.next.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
I've tested it and it works great for me! I now have a combined mailbox with my Exchange (work) mail and my yahoo mail and can access both via Wi-Fi or 3G!
Enjoy

i dont know about the "next" command in ur first string..but ive always used :
INCOMING : imap.mail.yahoo.com
OUTGOING : smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
im sure ur way works..but theres an alternative if the first way doesnt work for anyone for some odd reason

Hey SoCal. I saw your other post about ordering your Dinc. I think you'll love it! Welcome!
As for the servers, the ones you listed are the ones I had and they will NOT work via Wi-Fi (except if using K9 mail and I hate that ugly @ss icon and wanted one mail client and one inbox for all of my mail) but work fine over 3G. That's why I had to find the others. Give it a test and you won't even be able to add your account to the stock client while connected to a wireless access point. It will keep telling you "The username or password are not correct". When I'm at home or at work, I'm always connected to wireless, so not being able to get my mail is unacceptable.
Thanks for the reply, though!

awesome catch then eh? kudos on that!
and thanks for the welcome. being on an HDPI device is gonna be a bit of a learning curve as far as development goes..but im sure with a bit of the forum help ill be able to find my way just fine.

not working for me...

This is the regular plain-jane HTC mail app? I tried using these server names to set up my regular yahoo (not y-plus) account...left SSL and default ports unchanged. I had to switch to 3G-only even to get past the incoming server page in manual setup. I got the account set up, but with WiFi active I get the same old errormsg.
Is yours still working? I wonder what we did differently.

No, that was on the vanilla email client when I was using Ruby. I tried with the htc client and got the same issue that you did. I might have to restore my ruby backup and see if it still works and what the ssl settings are.
EDIT: I just verified that this works on the vanilla email client, via wifi, with security set to none but won't work on the htc client.

Use K9 Mail instead of the stock email app. Works very well with Yahoo.

K9 huh? I'll check that one out. Thanks buddy!

Yahoo! Mail app from the Market.

The official Yahoo! Mail app is really slow, at least in my experience (Captivate). I've tried it a few different times and always go back to K9.

I went with K9 for now. I still can't get it to push for some reason though...
The Yahoo app blows ass, and like above said, it's slow...

Use these settings from this site. I use this site for setting up Yahoo IMAP settings on customers' Android devices daily.

I was quite excited reading your post, seeing an incoming server setting that I had not come across before. (the 'n' thing) However, still no push functionality. I wonder if ANYONE has EVER succeeded in making Yahoo push work on Android? I use K9 which works brilliantly with every possible email provider, but the Yahoo one. Sure, it retrieves my mail, but only when I poll manually. Still no push. Does ANYONE have information on how to get this working? Please help! And if you could provide the correct settings, the post MUST render a 'sticky' !!!!!!!!!!

Incoming mail server : imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outoing mail server : smtp.mail.yahoo.com
This is what i used and its working perfectly.

Thanx for taking time to reply. Let me just get this straight:
you get your emails right away to your phone (i.e. "pushed")?
And you use either "no SSL port 143" or "SSL port 993"?
And you're using K9 rev. 3.403 to retrieve your emails?
Are you using "[email protected]" or just "johndoe"?
Could you please present ALL your settings here?
Because I have tried both (rather ALL) settings, to no avail.
I just can't figure why it works for some, but not for others.
Grrrrrrrrr.....

[Q] Why can't I use yahoo mail with the Honeycomb email app?

The Xoom manual says this:
Note: While you are using a Wi-Fi network, you
cannot access Yahoo Mail accounts. You can still
use your browser to see these accounts at
mail.yahoo.com.

It's an issue with the Yahoo Mail app and not the XOOM (or any other specific device)

I don't like to tell people what they should be using but why does anyone still use Yahoo mail? It is nothing but a SPAM magnet. And if you are using Android, you will have a much better experience using gmail. Just my opinion.

Yahoo was my first mail provider.Now it is just a secondary mail address, I think my fourth. But it still has some subscriptions on it.

Abandon it! Just let go...I was in your shoes 2 years ago with my first android and I never looked back. Gmail is awesome...unless you're from an internet blocking nation (coughchina) where yahoo is your only option....
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

I have a cool username on yahoo.com
Same like my hotmail.com, I have 3 characters username which is rare
So, for nostalgic sake, I keep them.
Anyway, can you just use the official Yahoo Mail app? Probably it is not optimized yet for HC.
