What is your setting for filtering out emails set for? You can specify 1 filtering. That's what it sounds like.

Ok, where can I find this option for filtering? Specific instructions are appreciated!
Gmail > Settings > Labels >Days to Sync
EMail > Account Settings > Amount to Sync
Quite logical locations, actually....

Hey guys,just received my DHD today and have a very annoying issue.
Starting off,I was stupid enough to import my contacts via bluetooth from my Desire(with HTC's Data Transfer) and it copied ALL of my contacts,including facebook ones,to my DHD's contacts.Then,because I didn't want my facebook contacts along with my normal ones(cause I have more than 800 contacts on facebook) I thought "I'll delete them all and google will sync the ones I want to my phone" and then deleted them all.
After that,I tried syncing with google but to no avail.It synced no contacts at all.No matter how many times I tried,the sync icon in settings started turning for some few seconds and stopped.And that happened again and again and again,each time I press the sync button.What's more,the arrow-and-circle syncing icon next to google's contacts will not disappear,it will stay there without moving.
I also tried disconnecting this account but it says that I cannot do that and that I would have to factory reset,WHICH IS WHAT I WANT TO AVOID,I had to restore many many apps manually(don't want to root yet) and don't want to do it again if possible.
ANY help appreciated!Thanks!
Log into GMail on your computer and check your contacts there. I'm hoping you didn't inadvertently delete them too when you deleted them off your DHD and pressed sync.

No,happily all of my contacts are there!Phew...
But still,the phone won't do anything.Strange is my Desire is alright...Or at least it seems so!
Thanks anyway!Appreciate it!
That's good to know.
Try this. Settings > Accounts & Sync > Tap your google account > Untick Contacts > Menu > Sync now > Now Reboot
Once booted up repeat, but put a tick in contacts.

Did that and guess what?It did something different!That's a surprise!
Anyway,seriously didn't expect it to do anything.But all it did was to say that Google sync is facing some problems and it will be back up soon or something like that...Guess I'll have to wait!
Hopefully it should sort itself out.

Judging from your username I am suspicious of something. You must be in Greece on Cypus I guess so, do you use any Greek localization?
I got a sync conflict and did the following to fix it...
Turn off Contacts sync:
From Home screen > Menu > Settings > Accounts & Sync > Google > untick Contacts
(you should also kill any Facebook sync enabled for the moment)
Then clear Contacts data:
From Home screen > Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All tab > find 'Contacts storage' and open it > Clear Data
...then turn on contacts sync again and it should do a fresh sync from scratch.
This should fix your problem as it will pull all the contact data freshly from your Google account.
Good luck.

There is known issue about this and I was going to suggest you turn back to English but if you sorted it out by the previous procedure, it's up to you. If it doesn't work 100% give it a try and change to English and compare. I gave up with Greek as the HTC Likes and similar services don't work ok.

Anyway,I'll try and see what happens!Let's see if it brings facebook connection back to my contacts...Thanks!
Great to know it at least helped you part of the way.
Did you re-enable Facebook sync after? I found it can sometime before it links them again.
Certainly can't help you with the Greek side of things!

Anyway,facebook link is the least of my problems!I can do it manually again!although for the greek side of things I know you cannot do anything...that a$$hole Papandreou(our president or whatever he is)is to blame!

Does anyone know if you can use multiple Gmail accounts? I didn't see any options to add another one. Just wondering if I'm missing something.
I see it on the calendar but not the gmail app.
You could add the second account in the email app I bet.

open gmail then go to settings. Up on the top it has the option to add account.

Thanks. Not quite sure how I missed that.
Well all of the above info sounds good, and granted I haven't messed around with it yet, but does anyone know if you can set up, for example, 2 separate Gmail shortcuts on the desktop, one for "John's Gmail" (acct. #1) and the other for "Jane's Gmail" (acct. #2)?? Because it would be ideal for my wife and I to have easy links off the Xoom desktop to our separate accounts. I mean if you're going to have 2 different accounts set up on the Xoom, this would seem to be the only set up that would make sense.

The only way I know that works is by making a Gmail Widget for both. When you select the widget and add to the screen you are given a choice on which account you want the widget to bind to. All you have to do is make a separate widget for each one and then you can click on the top of the widget to directly go to that mailbox.
Hey all I'm new here...
Just wanted to point out some woes with the new OTA 2.3.4 update with the contacts. Although it seems the views have a few more options the bad part is they took away the option to flip the screen left or right to see social or history... that sucks but the worst part is... it seems that you can't link with social accounts anymore either!!!
Any insight on this... am I doing something wrong?
Use GO Contacts, it's just plain better.
your probably right... though 2.2.2 was fairly decent.
Just wanted to add... as I'm going through account and contact stuff, the ability to sync facebook or twitter pics with contacts is gone as well I know there are other ways (manually) but this was a nice feature... why would the take it out? What reason do we have now to add any of the social/pic stuff with motoblur? Again, Myspace, facebook, LastFm, twitter, Picasa, Photobucket, flicker, Linkedin... its all broken now, none of them sync with contacts now. (or is it fixed... was there issues with this before, did folks not like it?)
Note: If you long press any of these accounts in settings it states.... "To Fully integrate "account" into your mobile experience, click Add Account." What experience are they refering to? All I can see is that your widgets (which suck) will populate their feeds....
Update... I did find some settings for anyone looking.... if you edit a contact and press menu the option to join pops up.... so maybe its not a total loss also not as I used an app to sync FB pics to existing contacts (synced to google) not sure if you "join" if the pic syncs as well....
If they took out linking contacts period, IMO that would be a HUGE step forward.
My contacts got severely f*cked up because of that, and I'm still trying to fix that mess.
If I hadn't bought so many Apps under my current account, I just would have just created a new Google account already...

If you unlink your accounts, the contacts should go back to the way they were. Linking doesn't actually modify any account info.

Go into your contact, then menu->Options
Altough it is still possible to link the contacts, I prefer the older Contacts.
It was easy to see where did each info came from (small "f" or "t" logo near the contact data).
Will try to get used to the new interface.
Anthony, I agree with you. The option to flip right and left was very useful and I used it all the time to keep track of my communication with a contact. I was hugely disappointed to see that missing. I do not understand why they would remove that. I also liked the contact photo syncing. It was nice that most of my contacts had photos added automatically.
Has anyone else had issues with webtop working after the update? Via HDMI or any of the docks...

I like new Contact App.
Just a small bug: birthday date is showed as an INTEGER (many times negative) and not more as a Date.
Example: "Birthday: -609994887"
I'm not sure if the wrong "import" of newer Contact App is about Facebook's birthday date or Google's Account, however something is wrong...
What the... they just took out the most usedlful feature in blur, contact history. Man thats so bad...

Select the one under motoblur accounts not the one under other accounts (which makes me question the wisdom of Moto for having it listed twice on the same page).

I tried that too but I had the same problem as before, no contacts showing up. Why must motorola make things so difficult?
Edit: Read on droid x forums that it can take a couple hours for them to show up, so I'll wait and see.

Be sure to be on a wifi network and ensure you can sync social apps. I would reboot the phone once all of that is checked and then see if it all comes down or not.
Is the stock email app supposed to work like this? I have not found any option to change this behaviour.
I would like to delete email on the app and dont download it on my computer. Can I get this from the stock email app?

Nope, as in you can't modify this option in stock e-mail application. Mails will remain on the server.
Well for me it works both way, like depends on the mood of the Stock Email app. Sometimes Emails do get deleted on the server and stays in the IMAP Trash folder in server but sometimes it don't. Though majority of times it does get deleted on the server. I was talking about GMail.

My guess is they are talking about stock gmail app, there's no such option in Social Hub. You can't delete emails from server in Social Hub, you will still be able to see them from your pc.
I keep making some tests
When you delete a mail, it goes to a trash folder. But the mail keeps showing on my iPad. But if I delete it from there, then its just gone

Yes, but I want my contacts from my Google account. The problem is that email addresses that are not saved as actual contacts in Gmail are showing up.

I had this happen to me. to be honest, best thing you can do is take the 5-10 minutes and go through a delete everything that is not a true contact. It had been happening to me since my S6 and I've just done the simple "display only contacts with numbers" and ignored it.
It took me about 10 minutes of going through all my contact options and removing everything I didn't need. once done, I resynced my gmail and everything is good once again.
