Gmail does not update!

I have set up my gmail to check for email every 2 hours. I get a pop up showing my user Id and password and connect. When I click on OK, I get an error not able to connect to the server. This problem does not persist for more than few hours. For no good reason, I will have updated email after several hours.
I am unable to send any email from my HTC Tilt2 for the above reasons. Any help?
Thank you

Have you configured smtp etc in wm and configured your account at gmail?
There is a good guide if you login at gmails website..

i started a thread about this in the general forum and at ppcgeeks not getting a lot of help though
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572157
the ppcgeeks link is on that thread. if you add to it maybe people will see that its possibly an issue and not just one phone that has a bug

did you follow these steps:

Thank you for the link. But, the problem persists. It keeps asking me to verify the Id and password till I hot cancel button. But, after few hours, I see new mail. unfortunately, I can not use the account for sending the email from my phone.

yeah i did, if you check my thread i say that it worked initially but it slowly stops working and takes longer and longer between automatic updates until it bascially stops even manually updating

Gmail not working
Mine was doing something like that where it would constantly ask me to verify the password saying it was wrong. I changed the password 4 times on my computer with no luck. I gave up and created a new gmail account and it worked the first time.

I created new gmail account as well, but no luck. it will update whenever it wants to. No manual updating possible most of the times.

This work for me. Use PHM RegEdit (or another registry editor) make a back-up of your registry. And then restore the backup file and do a softreset. I have no idea why this works but it does and I've done it twice. *I know this is late but I just saw this.

i read somewhere it had to do when trying to update using WIFI. I havent tested it or checked but i was having this problem also. so annoying!

Original Android 2.1 Email Client

For those interested in original client available in "pure" Android 2.1 - here it is!
For me it's much more better than the HTC's one.
PS. God give us root to get rid of all that crappy HTC bloatware

What are the advantages of the original email app over HTC's version?

I like its look and feel,htc's one is too glossy.The same applies to music app.
Just try it yourself,it can be installed in parallel with htc one.

Is there anyway to get the app to delete the original emails off the server?

THANKS!!! it is awsome! Finnaly my emailsending works accross IMAP and TLS. With built in HTC email client it not works.

Np
As for deleting emails - don't know if you're talking about pop or imap. In imap you have to delete mail from trash to get rid of them.
Didn't tested this app with pop3, so don't know if tere is an option to "delete from server after download". But I think that there could be no such option to prevent user from mistakes.
But .... it's source is available via source.android.com... and it can be tuned, or feature can be requested.

Thanks, sorted my mail sending across SSL.

The stock HTC mail app is eating up the memory. After 3 days, I had 30 MB of mail data, and erasing all Accounts did not helped. The 30 MB was still there, so I had to make a Factory Reset. Thanks for this app!!

Thanks for this.

Does this app allow searching of emails, in particular Exchange?
I noticed, or haven't found, the search feature for the HTC Mail app :/

This works great on Legend, nice to see a bit of stock Eclair.

I would love to have this feature! I understand WinMob does this on exchange 2007...

I think I overlooked the obvious, pressing the search button!
Didn't give me results for my search, going to look into the number of emails the phone has access to, either copied to phone or on the server. I suspect the string I searched for was too far in the past.
[edit] Shame, only searches sender names and subject line :/

So, i installed this on my incredible and configured it to work with my office exchange account... set it up as push, and it never updated... went into the sync settings and it was in there, but was showing that it wasn't set to auto sync and i couldn't get it to sync from there.. originally when i first set it up, it was able to connect and download my past emails, but nothing after that.. I know i'm in the desire section of the site, so it may just be that ti's not gunna work on my Incredible right now, but i was wondering if root is required to use this?

don't know if i understood you correctly but i can search my exchange 2007 mail from my phone...
just open htc mail app and than press the hardware search button...type what you want to search and that's it...

thanks alot, this is so much better than sense's version, actually so much stock android 2.2 stuff is better than sense i'm thinking of rooting for 2.2

This force closes when I have an email with an attachment in my inbox, really annoying.

Does it require root?
Does this application require root access or can I install it even if the phone is unrooted? Another question -- Does this get me the combined inbox?

Problem setting up pop3 Email

I convinced the Mrs to get get a wildfire (nice!) but having set up pop3 exactly like i set up on my Hero it says the password/username is incorrect, even tho the password or username is fine!
anyone else had this problem?
i checked to see if all the set up options were the same as my hero and they match perfectly.............any ideas?
the only thing anomalous is the sim card isnt working yet as her number ports today, but connection is fine over wifi

Don't know if this will help, but I set mine up to my yahoo email account using IMAP without any issues.

Update
Ok I now know its not a fault specific to the wildfire, I've tried setting up her email on my hero, with the same result. I've also used my pc to log on using her password and username with no problem at all..........weird!
As I said previously my own pop 3 sets up fine and is also with the same provider, yahoo in this instance, the only thing I can guess at is wether there is a user name length issue? Hers is only 12 letters long tho?
Will try imap and let you know, thanks for the suggestion or try the yahoo app.
Update
installed the yahoo email app from the market and the email comes thru fine with the mrs password etc.....wtf?!!! now i just want to get the HTC email app to work.......really dont get why this not connecting

weirder still!
just got my old diamond working and using the htc email app set up the mrs email account with no problem......
oh also works on my old Xda exec.........................

Hi,
are u setting it up manually or automatic. Because when i put my hotmail account in its working fine automatic. Manually i have no idea.
Also exchange and of course gmail works great on this phone!

Thanks for looking in I've tried to set up both ways even comparing with the settings on my hero, strangely all looks fine!
And as I said her settings work on every device I've tried except sense on android.

ANy solutions yet... ?? it tells me authentication failed..incorrect username/password .. i m setting up my gmail account .. not working for imap and pop both

Possible temporary solution
I bought this phone yesterday for my younger brother and since then its.. f***ing my mind out how to setup his email...
Well after trying all bull**** and even going on email settings tweaking it several times could not get the mails on Wildfire...Also the problem is not with username or password length coz tried to change that too..
For some reason though my account could be setup in a fly on his cell.. but for his own account i had to find a temporary solution
Tap Email setup >> type ur username and password and click manual setup>> Then in the first drop down menu Select POP instead of IMAP >> in the pop server box type pop.gmail.com>>Click on next and finish the process...
Note: For my account IMAP setup was done pretty quickly so it seems to be error from GMAIL server side i have mailed them to look into the matter and resolve the bugs if any.

Works fine for me both POP3 and IMAP.
I am thinking of switching to K9 mail though.

Password Length
In case anyone comes across this thread as I did looking for an answer to this question:
The length of your Hotmail Password was the culprit for my login success. I had a 17 character password and kept getting "Authentication Failed..." I then tried shortening it to 10 characters and it worked like a charm.
I hope this is the solution to a problem many others have been reporting.

this works for me. thanks heaps!

School e-mail with X10?

Hey so Im going to college again and I get like 10-15 emails a day from my professors and I dont always have my laptop with me(1 of the reason I bought the x10).
Anyway I tried to set up an e-mail account with AOL, it worked fine so I have that working. But the other email account with Michigan State University... there was a problem, so if anyone else knows how to set it up any help would be appreciated.
Oh and Im using the email app that the x10 shipped with nothing from the market.

I don't use the stock email app, but you would basically just go to create a new account, enter your email and password, then when it asks for like Incoming Server Settings, Outgoing Server Settings, etc., just find them on this page:
http://techbase.msu.edu/article.asp?id=224
I know it says it's for Outlook, but all of the settings are the same, they might just not appear in the same order.
Hope that was what you need?

mm well what i did was google my schools name with outlook or thunderbird
and i got links on what port to use and the servers

You have a strangely close relationship with your professor to be getting that many emails a day...
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

well got it working, thanks guys.
but its loading really really slow, anyone got an idea why?
and yetep, i dont have a close relationship with my professors, my school has 46,000 people attending. so its very hard to communicate with everyone except using email especially when one class can have up to 500 people in it.
and i only get 0-3 emails a day from my professors and that too is mainly during exam weeks, but i get a lot of other emails which are important such as events that are going on, etc...

Christ, it was a joke dude , lighten up ;-) I understand lol

Strange Email problem with Motorola Xoom

Hello all. I have done a quick search but didn't find any relevant threads, so apologies if it has already been discussed.
I bought my Xoom 5 weeks ago and configured it for 3 emails - Gmail, Outlook Exchange server and BT Internet. The first 2 are working absolutely fine but I am having constant problems with the last. When I first set up the account, the device set it up as 'IMAP' but that stopped working after a few days - BT said they don't support it and it should be setup as 'POP3'. That I did but soon I started getting error messages saying there were problems connecting to the server. This has been happening intermittently - even on the same day. I have deleted the account and set it up again - on occasions working fine but on other days it says there was an error with user name or password. After talking with support at Motorola today, I tried another client - 'K-9', but that also is having the same problem. I should add that while all this is happening on the Xoom, the email is easily accessible on my PC and even my Android phone - HTC Desire HD.
Can some one please help? I am getting very frustrated.
Regards.
Naim

Hmm. Over 24 hours now. 58 views but no replies. Surely someone would know the answer.
Looks like my wait will go on!
Regards.

have look there : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117262&highlight=email
maybe its the same kind of issue i got. Only way i found to fix it was to go back to 3.0.1, then setup email account and update to 3.1

It's nothing to do with your xoom.
Bt are known to have ridiculous email servers. Clarify that the settings you have from them are correct.
As we all well know IMAP and POP3 are extremely different things?
