Old Email Messages Deleted Automatically

Hi all,
I 've got the Qtek9100, and with both the default rom it shipped with and the custom Tmobile 2.17 ROM I've had this problem. I use Gmail on my phone via pop3, and my problem is that the phone is constantly deleting my old email messages. Its not sending them to the deleted items folder, but removing them from my inbox as though they never existed. Have any of you encountered this problem or know of a way to fix this? Thanks.

I have a Cingular 8125 and I have the same problem. After I close the email its gone!

Same problem here too.

set to get first 999kB of message.. it is the only work around that i found

Loosing Emails.
I had this type of problem with SMS's and emails - basically anything with Pocket Outlook.
The solution was to Close outlook fully (not with the 'x') before soft-resetting the phone. Pocket outlook does not seen to write the new emails to it's database until the app is closed. (i.e running programs - stop program)..
Since I started closing outlook fully before soft-resetting I have not lost 1 message.

Actually, closing outlook fully does not stop email from being deleted. This happens even when I don't soft reset the phone. I'll try getting the first 999kb of a message, though I worry that this could fill my phone quickly if I don't pay attention. Also, I don't have this problem with SMS messages.

I figured it out.
Under Tools -> options in Pocket Outlook is an option to "Display messages from last x days only." I've unchecked that, so here's hoping that takes care of the problem. Hope it helps everyone else who had this problem.

I had this unchecked already, and I still have the same problems.
Any other ideas?

Here si the fix on the HTC and disappearing emails
1 start/message/click email account/menu/tools/options/tap email account/edit account setup/next/next/next/next/next/download message 3 pls days/advance setting/keep them on server/next/ finish
Do this for all accounts
Now go to your computer and outlook tools/email accounts/view or change email account/next/change/ more settings/advanced/leave copy on server/ how many days is up to you
You must do this for all you accounts on that computer. then do the same to all the computer you use to get the same e-mails.

8525 and missing emails.

I'm running the leaked version of the Cingular rom and while I know this isn't final I was kinda hoping that some things would get fixed. One of them being the missing email problem.
After a few hours receiving a email it just disappears into thin air!!!!! and yes I have it set to always show emails no matter how old they are..
Where are my emails going? I want to keep ALL my emails until I decide to delete them..
Anyone got any suggestions? I have tried everything and nothing works..

Out of curiosity am I the only one on a 8525 that has this problem?

Have you used the site search, and tried the retrieve 999kb header fix?

Yes and they still dissapear..
I have tried everything..

i too am having this problem. you are not alone. guess now i will be trying out 3rd party mail clients for the time being. everything else with the upgrade is fantastic so im not going back

This is still an issue with me also. Using a verizon pop3 account.

Incorrect Settings...??

In order to help, we need to know what pop account you are using... for instance, I had this problem with Gmail messages disappearing after a couple of hours to a day... found out that there is a non published setting that appears when using the phone's auto config feature... Let me explain...
when setting up the pop3 account for gmail, the settings are as included on their website... problem is that I have my outlook connected at home and constantly checking messages, and is configured to leave messages on server.... But with the other machine pulling the messages, for some reason they disappear on my TyTN even though I have it set to grab messages for the last 7 days...
what the auto config feature has done was to add "recent:" without the quotes in front of my account name, so it reads "recent:[email protected]"... Once that was done, my messages stopped automatically disappearing... Try it, what do you have to lose that you haven't lost already...

The first setup I edited out the "recent" and had the disappearing mail problem - I deleted that email account and ran the setup again leaving the "recent:" text in and bingo my Gmail works as it should on my P3600i.
Thanks for the tip.
PS. The only bug now is that the mail that I sent also appears in the Inbox - is there a way to correct this?

Few questions of a new user

Hi!
I need help in things which I don't seem o find a solutions for.
Ok, so here are the questions:
1. Regarding bloody Hotmail and sending emails - did anybody achieve it?
In my case after sync via Windows Live Panel, or just simply writing and sending email doesn't work. It's just crazy, I see the sent emails in the Sent folder and it's even on the PC version of ive, but mails go NOWHERE! Help!
2. Did anybody of you encountered any sending email problems from other accounts!
I have two accounts, one works good, the other does not send, although settings are correct and checked 100 times.
3. All of my accounts always show loading one message but it's not there - so when I have one new email, it loads two emails but I have only one new. When I have no new mails, it loads new message but it's not there (checked in the Outlook!)
4. One more strange thing - I uninstalled the programm which was set as a shortcut in pop menu on main screen. After uninstall this bloody shortcut cannot be removed, what to do??
Please help, these things drive me crazy.
Hope it's not too much to ask.
I'm new to WM actually, I used UIQ for years..

Rudegar,
Please, help..

hi welcome to xda developers from my-symbian. it seems that its your first experience in wm phones. my best phones were p910i an p1i. earlier I did not not like wm phones but with x1i i am 90% satisfied. most of the problems on wm phones are due to its os which has been only tweaked over the years without any substantial upgrade.
regarding questions 1to 3 since i do not use hotmail or other account for sending mail ,i may not be able to answer them. if u ask in Q&A thread in general section u may get better response as hotmail is common to all platforms.
4. use file explorer and go to windows/startmenu
shortcut must be there delete it.
u may read this it might help-

i just send a test mail from my hotmail account on phone to other account. there was no problem, there was a delay but that may be due to fact that i have setting for checking mails every 5 min interval.

Deep thanks! You see I was UIQ user for years and now WM, I have to learn....
Thanks for the Menu - it was there!
Hotmail does not work although I was sending no problem mails from Hotmail on my PC to test!
Anyway thanks and please let me ask more sometimes!!
Best.

Hah! The thing seems more complicated.
It does NOT send any email to one of my accounts, however sends no problem to other ones. That's weird!!!

Help with Yahoo Mail! Downloading all my inbox for unknown reason!

Hey guys,
I am having this really weird issue with my email (which is Yahoo mail). I would initially set up my email as usual, i.e. by entering username and password and let it do it's thing.
I had setup my email settings as "download messages for the past 3 days" but for some reason after leaving the phone in sleep mode for several hours (i.e. overnight, while charging or unattended at work), it will then start downloading everything in my inbox under yahoo mail which is around 3,5xx emails without me knowing! and then the phone will start to become very very sloooow... having manila running 90-95% at all times, (my observation) apparently windows mobile email is trying to sync everything from the inbox (after finish downloading) to HTC sense which is causing a Big Slowdown! which is i think the reason why manila runs at 90-95%.
this has been an issue for me since i bought the phone, so i always end up deleting the account on the phone so it'll stop the sync to HTC sense and stop manila from running 90-95%.
It is very annoying and i was wondering if there is anybody over here has experienced the problem and solved it?
i have also tried upgrading my rom to the current european 1.6x but no luck and still acting the same. I just don't want to stop using the email that i've been using for the last 9 years just because of this.
I will greatly appreciate any help.

Anyone>?????? anybody??????? i am sure some of you uses yahoo mail.
just wanted to find out, if anybody is under the same situation when using yahoo mail!
thanks

How did you add your account in the first place? You should just enter your email address and let the HD2 setup automatically.
I guess you setup pop3 instead?

I'm facing the same issue. I went to HD2 email setup, entered the email address, password and used the default yahoo settings which HD2 suggested.
For the first 2 days I kept getting all new emails. However on the 3rd day overnight it downloaded the whole yahoo mailbox with over 2500 emails. Had to delete the account and add it back a couple of times, but the issue keeps recurring.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here. Is there any setting I need to change to prevent this from happening?

Chaps,
Don't know what settings you are using for Yahoo but if you want to restrict how many emails get downloaded to your device then do the following:
On the device go to Inbox>Menu>Tools>Options>Email Account (whatever you have called it). Tap on that and then tap on Send/Receive schedule.
Form here you can set the frequency of updates and how many days worth of emails you want downloaded onto the device.
Hope this is helpful

This issue also exists on my Raphael. Started a few months ago for some reason.
No matter what you set your retention limit to (3 days, 7, etc) it always tries to pull everything and bogs the phone done like crazy. Last time I wiped it, it was set to 7 days and it had email dating back to Jun 09.
Any idea on a resolution? as it seems to be affecting various devices.

up to now, i am still experiencing this problem.
i have tried everything.. i.e. hard reset, flashing to duttys holy grail v.05 rom and after setting up everything, it will still the same issue.
this issue only applies to yahoo mail.. i never had issues with gmail.
i wonder if it's because i am not using mail plus which requires a monthly fee and benefit you to use outlook using forwarding.
i never had this issue wih the iphone, although if you search yahoo, they specifically support iphone and blackberry only and regular mobile phones.

i have this problem too. i think its has something to do with Yahoo POP settings rather than our device. Gmail has a much more advanced mail settings than Yahoo. The gmail (IMAP) which is free is much better than yahoo plus (POP).

delete the accoun and wehn setting up again choose advanced settings you will find what limits this things

Same problem here
Hello, I have this problem in my Touch Pro 2. Haven't found a solution yet but I think the problem is at yahoo mail b/c i have used other imap and pop emails w/o having this behaviour.
It's probably some maintenance yahoo does to their servers that changes each mail datetime and thus, the WM mail client bring all inbox items and the phone gets freezed.
If someone find a solution for this issue please let me know.
regards,
Yasel

Same problem...
I am seeing this for my Yahoo mail on my Imagio also. It doesn't matter what the settings are, every few days, my entire inbox starts downloading (10000+ messages) causing the phone to hang & requires a hard reset.
Has anyone found a fix?

crude workaround
weird, this has started to happen to me on my tp2 in the last couple of weeks, maybe yahoo is doing something to different servers on a rolling basis.
Until it's fixed I've set up a folder within yahoo via my pc where I've dumped all emails over a couple of weeks old. I haven't synced my phone with that folder so myinbox is limited to a couple of hundred mails at the most. Once the issue resolves itself I'll put them back.

Mail sends GMail messages twice

Has anyone else had an issue where mails sent from the HD2 via the standard mail app are appearing twice in conversations? If I reply to someone from the phone, they always get 2 copies, and both appear in the web UI for GMail.
Clarifications...
1) Using IMAP Gmail.
2) Running Dutty's HG 0.8

Guess its just me, then.

I noticed that also, but I don't know if I was under Dutty's rom or stock one (1.66 fixed stock one at the moment). Annoying indeed.

It's happening to me also, and I'm using Laurentius's WM6.5 ROM.

got the same probleme on my hd2
i use the official rom 1.66

I also confirm the problem. I'm also using an official ROM.

That's because in your email settings you've got the "save sent items" ticked - emails don't get sent twice but what happens is that they get synced twice (once from the "sent" folder on your phone and once from the "sent" items in Gmail) Just untick "save sent items" and they'll only show up once in your conversation - you can still see them by going to the [Google Mail] (click on the "+" to expand) / Sent Mail folder

I'm afraid that I cannot find this "save sent items" either under the web settings from my laptop or phone e-mail settings for gmail. Where exactly is that setting? Note that the gmail client of the HD2 uses IMAP (and not POP - it's disabled in gmail) for sending and receiving messages and I think that the setting of saving sent items doesn't apply on IMAP, or does it?

Can't remember where it is tbh, will have to go looking for it when I can! It's on the phone somewhere - I use gmail via IMAP and had the "double sent message" in the conversations too until I unticked the thing about 6 months ago

OK, thank you. Will continue looking for it. Will tell you if I find it, but until then, if you find it, please tell me.

ok found it from the inbox, go to Menu > Tools > Message tab and untick "Keep copies of sent items in Sent folder"

OK, found it. Had to press "More" first ot go to Inbox (phone was displaying received messages one by one before pressing it). Will test it. Again, thank you.

Sir you will be a DON if this works.
I have asked this problem to Google, HTC and Vodaphone and no-one has managed to give me an answer [some suggesting hard reset or send phone for repair!]
I found that when I do a "reply all" it was including my own email in the "To" field and when I delete this only 1 email would get to each recipient [note annecdotal discovery not rigorously tested!]

I'd like to point out that I'm a girl but erm thanks

I'm not sure we're having the same problem with wigwam12 (I don't recall my name included in any address - only two copies of the message shown in the web client - but my memory could have failed me), but mine is fixed! Only one copy of the e-mail now in web. Thank you!

I have the same "symptoms" ie people getting 2 copies of the email [and 2 shown in the web client].
I just pored over the possible reasons and noticed the inclusion of self to Send list - not sure if it was a factor or not.
Will test later to see if mine is fixed too

Isadora you are a Bella DONna!
This has fixed the double-email problem.
When HTC cheekily asked how they did at fixing the problem I pointed they didn't - you did
Wish I could find a way now to stop it adding my own address to the "to" field then doing a reply-all

Further Reading that clearly explains the Double Sent Message Issue with GMAIL.
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=78892
Caution while using Menu > Tools > Options > Message tab and untick "Keep copies of sent items in Sent folder"
That is a universal rule and will apply to all your Email accounts. You can't assign this option specifically to any particular Email account. So if you happen to have other Email accounts for which you need to save a copy of Sent messages, it might be a problem, unless of course you are using a Sync based system like IMAP4 or ActiveSync, in which case you can select the Sent Items folder under MANAGE FOLDERS to be synced as well.
@Isadoa.. Nice catch. I've been using this thing for years and yet it slipped my mind somehow today.
