I've recently got CyanogenMod 6 working on my Magic, and I have one problem that is bugging me...
I haven't been able to create my POP3 email account, as it keeps forcing close once I complete the final step. Very annoying!
I go through these steps:
In Email app...
1. Press Menu > Add account.
2. Enter Email address and Password. Tick to Send email from this account by default. Press Next.
3. Select POP3.
4. Enter Username, Password, Port, POP3 server, Security type (none), Delete from server (when I delete from inbox). Press Next.
5. Enter SMTP server, Port (25), Security type (none), untick Require sign-in. Press Next.
6. Change check frequency to never, leave both Send email from this account by default and Notify when email arrives ticked. Press Next.
--Now I know the details I enter are correct as it won't let you progress otherwise. This next step is the one where it always forces close--
7. I see a folder icon, and next to that "Sample Account Name" Then three sliders for colours, red green and blue. I sometimes try changing colours, sometimes leaving on 0. Press Next.
--"Sorry! the application Email (process com.android.email) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Anyone have any suggestions?
Problem solved. I'm using K-9 instead of the stock email app.

For some strange reason my Windows Live stops syncing with my hotmail account after a while. Every time it happens I seem to have to re-set up my hotmail account details for it to work again. A re-boot of the phone doesn't make a difference.
Looking at the "sync status" it shows me that it is attempting to sync every 15 minutes like I set it up to, but from the "last synchronised" I can see that it's not syncing.
Anyone else have the same issue?

I do not take credit for this, this was from another forum. Make sure you set it up correctly.

Well, most people post a query, and get an answer. However, i have spent hours trying to work this one out, so for a change i will give the answer first!!
When you try to add a hotmail account in the email app, you may get as far as entering your email address, and then it says something like "settings found for hotmail", and then it just opens the browser and sends you to the windows live site. Sound familiar? Well it's annoyed me for hours, so here's how i got round it!
Goto add account, then enter your hotmail address when it asks, but misspell the hotmail part, ie: @hotmai.com, or @liv.co.uk or whatever. This fools it, and you can set it up manually, thus:
pop server: pop3.live.com
smtp server: smtp.live.com
When done, you still need to change another setting or two, so from the main mail window in Sense, tap 'inbox' (this brings up the classic WM inbox), then tap menu > tools > options, tap the account you just made, then tap edit account setup. First your misspelt address comes up, so here's where you correct that. Then press next, and adjust your display name if needed, then press next again, the pop address should be ok, so press next once again, then username comes up - make sure it's your FULL address, ie with the @live.com or whatever after it. Press next again, the smtp address will come up, which should be correct. Now, tap on 'advanced server settings', and make sure both of the SSL boxes are ticked. Press done, next, next, finish. That's it! Now you should be able to collect your mail like any other account. Hope this helps!
It is the epitome of STUPID that a Microsoft Windows Mobile based phone needs such gymnastics to use a simple Microsoft Hotmail account, isn't it?
(I'll try this later, thanks.)
It worked for me too! Thanks. I really wanted to consolidate my accounts in this way, and I had not figured out how to make it work.
Well it's crazy, how can two MS products not integrate and work seamlessly together, it's so sad!
works great thanks for the help, just seems silly that for a windows phone its so difficult
hotmail & HD2
Funnily enough, I had no problems at all connecting to a hotmail account. I entered my account details, it downloaded live (maybe that's its) and away i went. It deals with hotmail the same as my exchange email (through activesync) and my gmail account.
just my 2p worth...
this could be nice! is it possible this way to get real push mail? i heard that with live it was pull mail..
You only need this method if you want to use more than 1 hotmail account. You should always use live for your first hotmail account as that is push email (not pull, as suggested above).
Also, this is in the hints and tips thread which is stickied in the forum, and has been there for months. That thread is vital reading for anyone that doesn't want to clog up the fourm with duplicated information (and not for the first time!)
Hello,
I have set up my gmail as IMAP with the standard config of the HD2. Everything works fine, the only problem is that the mail only shows the last couple days and not the enitre mail account.
Shouldn't is show all mails I have in my gmail account since it's setup is IMAP?
If so, did I miss a setting?
Thanks in advance for helping!
P.S. I've searched the forum for similar threads but couldnt find one, apologies if it's a double post.
I'm not sure about IMAP but when using activesync to interact with gmail, there is a way to tell it how far back to download emails.
Why aren't you using activsync and gmail's push email service by the way?
When you're setting it up, on the last screen when you are selecting what services you want to use (calendar, contacts, email) if you highlight email then you can click on setting and set how far back you want to sync.
NOTE: Don't try and do tasks or texts because google doesn't support them yet.
Hope this helps
For Yahoo (not Hotmail!)
1. Select eMail in the HD2 Start Menu.
2. Select your mail account (without opening the mail, if you open the mail, simply press back arrow on hardware keys, and then reselect eMail form Start Menu.
This will ensure Mail Account is highlighted.
3. Select Menu > options
4. Tap the account to change settings
5. Select Send/Receive Schedule
6. Select frequency and Download options eg past 3 days, 5, 7, 30, ALL
Download size for mail and attachments also available.
This does not appear to be available for Hotmail account!
Hope this helps.
works fine, thanks
My TP2 e-mail settings allow me to leave the message on the server (POP3) when I delete them from the phone. However, my HD2 doesn't have such a setting as far as I can see. Anyone know how to do this? I also posted this question in the T-Mo support forum, but haven't heard anything.... This is very important to me, and if indeed there is no such setting on the HD2, I will return the phone.
This is for pop3 or imap but don't know how it is for exhange server etc.
Inbox>
menu>tools>options....
then select the account you want to "edit"
then select edit account setup>next>next>next>next>next
how ever many "next" it takes to get to Automatic Send/Receive and on bottom of the screen is "Advanced Settings"
that is where the option you are looking for is.
That is how it is on my phone anyway.
Good luck
I posted this yesterday for you on the T-Mo site:
Start key> Email>Menu>Options> select email account >Edit Account Setup>click Next 5 times, then Advanced Settings. The next screen will let you select whether to delete them from the server or move them to server trash. I have all of my email accounts set to delete them from server and when I delete emails, I do a Send/Receiver and have had no problems with my emails deleting. If I have it set to move to server trash, it leaves them on the server.
you can skip about 5 button presses by just selecting send/receive schedule rather than Edit Account Setup. From Send/Receive menu select Advanced Settings and you just arrived at the same point.
True, but I thought perhaps there were other options that the poster might also want to change or review. But your way is the most direct.
Hi. When trying to configure Gmail on my WM 6.5 device, it automatically chooses the IMAP mode which leaves me only with the options:
=> Once the messages deleted from the phone:
1 - Delete them from the server
2 - Put them in server's bin
(3 - Keep them in the Inbox doesn't exist).
I actually don't want any action to take place (once some messages deleted), cause it doesnt mean if a message is too heavy or unneeded to keep on the phone that i want it to be deleted completely. Thats completely absurd and a major unexpected drawback on WM 6.5. Yet, i can't get the option to configure my Gmail as POP, to avoid this problem. In the same time i can configure mailboxes on other servers as POP and get the right options. Those are servers that WM 6.5 doesnt have pre-loaded settings for (meaning all mainstream servers fall under the IMAP rule). I just dont see why for Gmail the system forces you to select IMAP with those restrictive useless options. I tried deactivating IMAP in my mailbox but it doesn't change anything. Im sick of that.
What the issue is here about? Is there any patch for this problem which i consider to be really serious?
Thank you.
To bypass Windows Mobile's bullheaded insistance on choosing Imap for gmail, yahoo, etc email accounts:
When you do Menu-->Tools-->"New Account" DO NOT enter a gmail or yahoo email address on the first E-mail Setup page. Just use [email protected] for the address, enter your real password, hit next.
Next screen has "Try to get e-mail settings automatically from the internet". This is what you are looking for. Uncheck the box and hit next.
Choose "Custom Domain" for your e-mail provider. Hit next.
Enter foobar (or anything actually) for E-mail Provider Domain. Hit next.
Now you can fix things up and enter relevant data on following screens. It will let you set your incoming and outgoing servers and choose pop or imap. Just make sure to correct any entries where it used the earlier bogus data you fed it to fill things in (like the user name)
Be sure to fill in "Display name" exactly the way you want it to appear in pocket outlook - it CAN NOT be changed after you create the new account. If you mess that up you have to start over from scratch, and any emails already downloaded in that account will be deleted from the device.
