In the last few days I have noticed that the emails that were on my HD Mini and have been looked at once, have disappeared when I go back to view them again. I checked in the deleted folder (not easy for as far as I can see this can only be done by expanding an existing email, clicking on Menu so that it shows "inbox" at the top left, and selecting "Deleted" "Sent" etc.- surely there is an easier way!). Anyway, as I'd lost all my emails, I had to wait for another to arrive to do the above. Nothing in Deleted Folder. Went to MS Outlook on my PC and checked there - not there either. Went to Virginmedia webmail - all still there!
Just witnessed what triggers this phenomenom - went to check for new emails, there were my old emails in the inbox, hit send/receive, there they were- GONE!
Anyone out there any ideas what may be causing this?
Afraid I have no idea why this happens but I have the same thing with googlemail. Could it be some sort of feature to de-clutter the inbox and speed things up?

Hi All - For reasons that I won't bore you with, I had to restore all my messages from a backup (using Sprite Backup).
The restore didn't work 100% and got stuck at the 'patching emails' bit.
Anyway, I rebooted the XDA and it looked and behaved mostly fine. However I have a text message 'stuck' in the draft folder which if I delete it normally, crashes the program. When I look in the draft folder there's nothing there (but the folder says there's '1 unread'). Additionally, I've got emails sitting in the sent folder that when I click on them to view them, nothing happens
Also when I sync my emails, it ALWAYS says 640 unresolved items no matter how many times I sync the PDA
If I use the 'clear messages' option in pocket outlook - it looks like it clears all the data, but the bogus draft text message and around dozen 'sent' emails refuse to be deleted
I guess what I need is a 'better' way to delete the data. I've looked in the database section on XDAIIi, but I can't see a database for the text messages them selves
Can anyone help - this is driving me nuts!!! :evil:
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.
Hi,
I'm using the Athena heavily for mail and am wondering if any of you have come across an application that supports 'drag and drop' of mails into folders like Outlook (or other apps) do on a PC.
The current 'right-click', selecting 'move' and then pointing to the folder is a bit slow and with the amount of mails I get the drag-and-drop would definitely help.
I tried Flexmail and while they support the 3-pane look (folders on the left, email list on top and preview on the bottom - perfect!), this particular function doesn't seem to be in and a question / feature request I put in a few weeks back seemed to have gone straight to /dev/nul
so... anyone... anyone...???
Thanks!
Flex mail is so damn slow.. You'll notice it when your inbox gets bigger.
Currently I dont see any mail application requesting your functionality but I am in a similar situation to handle lot of emails. Usually the mails that you want to sort into a particular folder will most likely have a same or similar subject. Do you know that when you type something when in Inbox screen, it automaticalyy searches and lists the matched mails alone? Then Select-All, move will save a lot of time for me..

Carty..
i own the hd2 t-mobile usa version
so like all of you, i was frustrated that deleting a gmail off of the hd2 (when set up via imap which is automatic from the normal gui setup) didn't work.
in searching these forms i saw that many of you have set it up via activesync. this is my first smartphone and due to my ignoance, i couldn't figure that out. i have outlook via activesync which works great, but can't figure out how to setup another e-mail address via activesync. i saw this page google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299via another thread here, but when i go to active sync on the hd2, all the setup options are greyed out. (if anyone could help me here, I would appreciate it)
anyway... so i decided to press on and found this. when you have the gmail inbox open and you go to menu - tools - options - gmail - edit account setup - 6 screens over - advanced settings (really!?!? i mean really!?!?) there's a drop down that has two options:
1. move them to server trash
2. delete them off server
the default was set to "move them to server trash." i changed it to "delete them off server." i then sent myself an email, deleted it on the hd2, and unfortunately it came back when i hit send/retreive.
knowing that didn't work, i went back to the above setting and put it back to the default "move them to server trash." when i tried it again, it worked. i've done three test e-mails to verify and it works fine -- every time i delete off of hd2, they don't come back (and they are in the trash folder on gamil server).
oh the whoes of smartphones... hope this works for you. (here's 3 hours of my time i'll never get back) good luck everyone and let me know.
Awesome dude! Many thanks for this, It was always a pain to receive emails at work, delete them, to onyl get home and have them come back down in Outlook!
ok well here's an update. it apprears there's a bug in the sence gui. if you delete the email from the sence gui (menu - delete message), the email comes back.
however, if you delete from the gmail inbox (select inbox on gui -- lower left, select the email you want to delete, press delete and you get a confirmation window), it will also delete from the gmail server (move to trash folder).
can someone else verify this?
Yea, same issue here. If I delete from Sense UI, it comes back when I press send/receive. Deleting from the inbox is the only way i can get things to delete properly.
Strange thing you're talking about, until now I never encountered this issue, mails never come back after I deleted them from My HD2.
I upgrade the ROM very often and never had this issue (stock roms, Dutty's ones and now Topix ones)...

howling, are you specifically talking about gmail?
I post this up in case it helps anyone else.
My phone had been working fine, and then following an exchange sync, everytime I went to the Manila email preview tab, no envelope showed up, and after a few seconds Manila would restart.
A soft reset did not help.
All the advice I could find directed me towards the manila xml files BUT I believe this was actually the result of something else.
When I went in to my email via the windows email option on the start menu, I could see a surprising email with no subject or sender. This was not present on outlook in my work PC in front of me.
This email appeared to be spam with just images attached (but I did not open them). Deleting this on my phone immediately resolved the issue with Manila.
I suspect it was some kind of a partial image of an email stopped by the exchange server as suspicious.
I think I have seen this before on mine as well although I might not have noticed the problem with manila before just deleting the email.
Just in case this stops someone rooting through their kitchen for the fault when that may be unneccessary.
UPDATE:
This issue still happens now and then.
My latest theory is that it seems to be linked to images in the emails.
The latest one I have with no sender no subject actually has the contents from an earlier email (picked up at the most recent sync) which had images in it as well as words. There seems to be no server side issue so I presume it is an issue with outlook on the phone.
