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!

On my email tab I have three email accounts. Is there any way to put a text under or behind the email icons to show wich icon is for wich account?
Now if there is no mail in the mailbox I dont know wich icon is valid for wich email account.
Mmmm...
I've not heard of anyone doing this. Had a quick search but found nothing. You're right, though, it would be helpful.
The way I get round this (not the ideal solution), is to always leave one email in the inbox of each of my accounts. At least that way, the envelope is always there in TF3D with the name of the email account on it

I also thought about your workaround but when I switch on my laptop and checking mail than the mailbox on the HTC Diamond is empty after sending and receiving the next time. So really need to have a possibility to have the name somewhere around the email icons.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this fricken phone to play nice with other email accounts than gmail???!!
I mainly use my yahoo account and it sometimes like to sync, sometimes like to notify the same email over and over again as new, sometimes like to undelete emails again...
Is it just trying to make me use gmail...*ugh*...
It's a problem. I just forward all my other e-mails to my gmail account and have a filter that every e-mail coming from my other account is denoted by a different folder. I've also set up Gmail to let me send e-mails out via my other accounts. All e-mails still get pushed really fast. It works really nicely and all my e-mail is in one place and with folders they can be in separate places if I need it to be. And nothing beats Gmail's search function so that's a bonus.
Thanks!
I'll give it a try. So I'm using gmail afterall. LOL
Anything is better than what it is. Its driving me nuts!
Does anyboby know how to set some default text so it shows on the bottom of any emails you send on your x10? Also is there a way to cap the amount of emails you can recieve in your inbox?

Not in the default Mail app... Try K-9 from android market.

Not in the default Mail app... And that really annoys me! Interaction gets very slow with 200 e-mails, and it will keep getting worse until I delete the account and add it again. However, K-9 from android market allows you to set how many e-mails to show in inbox etc.
Can you intergate this app with Timescape or does it only use the default android mail system?
Cheers
Timescape is limited to the default Mail app, I'm afraid... I hope SE will solve that later.
Personally, I set Mail to sync every hour, so that Timescape is updated. But instead of clicking on Timescape to read new mail, I open K-9. Not ideal, but better than having no e-mails in Timescape.
I would also recommend k9, much better than the in built email.
I switched as I found that I couldn't recover emails from the trash once in there (whats the point in the trash folder?).
Nice side effect is that when an email comes in the notification flashing light is purple rather than the green so I know if its email or text ... as they say 'small things...' )
Here it is. Go Into your Gmail settings on your desktop computer. click on settings in the upper right corner, click on Forwarding and POP/IMAP, disable IMAP and enable POP for all email. I also selected delete Gmail when accessed with POP.
This solves the problem with email notification not disappearing immediately after you click on the email, it gets you all your email promptly and it does not show emails in your inbox, for ex. you have 3 unread emails, you go to check and there are not any? So it fixes that issue. It syncs perfectly with the desktop sever. I had constant problem with above issues. So yeah the culprit seems to be IMAP. I tested this on Froyo and 2.1 Vanilla. Works for both. I imagine it will work on Sense too.
I just noticed this problem last night.. the Gmail Unread Count widget tells me 6 new emails, the Gmail app says Inbox (6) at the top, but there are no unread messages! Going to Gmail on my desktop shows no mention of these 6 supposedly unread emails.
Just tried your trick, but the problem's still there. Running Froyo here.

I'm in the US, maybe that makes a difference. Also on stock froyo. It works perfect now. Make sure you have changed your settings correctly. I checked settings again and posted information is correct.

So what exactly is the gmail problem that requires this solution? Your description is quite convoluted and confusing. Email notification not disappearing when you expect it to, or messages not showing in your inbox? Either way seems to me like nxt says. Probably just a case of your mail being hidden in your SPAM label.
Notification tells me there is new gmail. I tap the notification and read the mail. Return to home screen and notification has gone. Bog standard and it works perfectly fine for me.

I'm in the U.S. too, on T-Mo.
I tried the old 'lets reboot and see what happens', and now it's all working perfectly. Thanks for the tip!
Does no-one else use gmail push via the normal email app?

I guess there's a lack of features when compared?

Cool. Good you figured it out. I'm glad helped out someone. I couldn't figure out why everytime I checked my inbox there wouldn't be any messages. I went to desktop and saw the messages in my inbox that I had already read. Also once you click on notification you have to hit back arrow to get the notification to disappear. Solved that as well.

This happens to all versions of android. Its just not syncing with gmail correctly, so you phone shows no new emails, but says thier is 5 unread. If you log on to gmail you will see emails you marked as read unread. All you got to do to fix is to mark them as read from within gmail web client.

Set it to POP and it fixes that issue. I don't get that anymore. Everything is working perfectly now.

What do you mean by "Phone....says there is 5 unread". I assume you mean the Gmail client on your phone lists them in BOLD? If so, how can you say in the next breath "If you log on to gmail you will see emails you marked as read unread" ? You have just said they are unread on the Phone side, so why would you expect to see them as marked read in gmail web client.
I can toggle messages on the phone between read and unread and within a few seconds the changes are reflected in the gmail web client. So all good here.
Perhaps it can happen to all version but it does not happen to everyone. If it was a widespread issue, I think we would be hearing a lot more fuss about it. My Gmail works fine and does not do what you describe. I have IMAP enabled.

Honestly, the stock GMail app works like a charm for me; I haven't had to do any changing on my accounts. Heck, I was able to sync my University of Phoenix e-mail account as we use GMail as well.
Easy fix
All you have to do is select on labels, go to all mail, it will show a message you have previously read as unread. Then just mark it read again and problem is solved.

This has happened to me on a few occasions too. What he means is that when you get a Gmail notification THEN you check it with your phone and lets say you delete it with your phone. However, the next time you get sent an email and get a notification, when you check your gmail it will list your unread emails as (2) instead of (1). When you go into your gmail application to check, it also says unread (2), BUT you will only see one email.
Now if you go and check your Gmail using your computer, you will see both the emails, the one you read then deleted and the one you just received.
I know this is not a widespread problem because this has happened intermittently to me and has not happened for a while.
But good job on finding a fix for those that do suffer this small but annoying sync problem.

This is the bit where you guys have me confused. The only way I can tell unread messages in the gmail on my phone is by the bolding and the corresponding number in brackets in the header. So I cannot see how you can get the conflicting info within the gmail app itself on the phone?
Inbox (2)

Clearly I am missing something obvious. I can conceive how the Gmail notification bar indicator count could differ. But I cant see where you see the difference within the android gmail app itself. Is it that you get a different number of bold messages to the number in brackets?
In any case - main thing is you got the problem sorted I guess.
I used to get the gmail error but since upgrading to 2.2 beta it works so smoothly now.
Why are you redirecting your gmail account to the email application through exchange anyways?
The gmail application supports push.

Basically the number in the brackets show you have 2 unread emails but your phone gmail client isn't showing any unread messages. They are all gray and read. Then if you log on to the web client you will see 2 unread messages.
Its just a simple sync issue.
Better solution to the sync issue (where for example the phone says Inbox(2) but shows no unread messages):
Manage applications, filter all, Gmail Storage. Clear data. Then re-open Gmail and let it resync. This always fixes it for me.
I only ever get this problem after a) flashing a new ROM or backup, or b) turning on a phone I haven't used in a while.
