Mail shows only messages from last 3 days - Desire HD General

As my title says, I have 2 accounts (1 POP3, 1 IMAP - default) and I can only see my messages of the last 2 days. Now, I can't tell for sure as it was my 1st experience, but I remember that on first setup, I could see all my messages. However, I can't tell for sure. The thing is that I use IMAP and my archived emails a lot so I need to switch to a folder and see stored messages which may be too old.
Any help here?

Waoo, Am I that blind? I have been searching in those More..Settings for hours and couldn't see this option. I'm sure it wasn't there before. Now it's there but I restarted the device before hand.
Anyway. Thanks, the option is there and it works. I'll wear my 2" glasses next time.

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?

magic questions

#1 - Is there a way to create backups to the SD card? I saw something when I formatted the phone about restoring from SD, what is that?
#2 - What do you guys have your g-mail sync set to? All? 33 days? Is there a way to set it to sync just like 33 days but then search the archive if I archive things older? If I sync ALL is that going to really slow it down?
Thanks!
#1: yes, you can back-up your data in some way to your SD and then restore it
#2: Don't know if you can search the archive (i suppose not, at least not with the Vodafone-Italy ROM) and sync all may and may not slow down. It depends on how many entries you got into calendar (you were talking about calendar, right?) and how fast is your connection. I use only wi-fi over my ADSL connection so sync takes really few seconds. From the point of view of Android overall speed, i have almost one hundred entries and i've noticed no sensible slow-down.
Hoping this helps.

Ops... sorry... my misread... On my Magic there isn't any configuration about how many days go behind when syncing email nor i can found any setting on the server. GMail client reads first 10 emails from the server then, when i scroll down, it reads next 10 and so on. If i perform a search it search in all emails on the server.

It isn't under notifications. I do the following:
Gmail -> Menu -> Settings -> Labels
The number of days to sync is the "default" (which you customize) but each label (inbox, sent, etc.) can be set to ALL or a custom or the default.

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.

problems with my email settings

Hi, I just got my HD2 last week and the email functions on it are bothering me a little bit. I just switched from a blackberry curve and here are some of the problems I am having.
my emails seem to be disappearing after some time (and I have not deleted them) are there auto delete settings somewhere that I am not seeing?
the BB I had always kept my emails until I specifically deleted them.
my BB seemed to get my emails almost immediately, where as on the HD2 it looks like it will only refresh as often as every 5 minutes? Can this be adjusted for a faster refresh?
thanks!

I think you can have only the last 50 emails for view, as for the refreshing you can set it to "As items arrive"
Use Active Sync to set up your email, then you can use Microsoft push email to get your email. Its a little harder to set up but works a lot better.

What is the best calendar app??

Hi just wondering if anyone can suggest to me any good calendar application?? Well here in Australia, most people get paid in every fortnight (every 2 weeks), and sometime even rosters are scheduled that way. I need something that can remind you every two weeks. I think the default calendar doesnt have that?? I think it has every third week?? every month?? Also is there anything that will sync with non google?? maybe like outlook??

im using ''pure calendar'' very happy with it
http://de.androlib.com/android.application.org-koxx-pure_calendar-qmwt.aspx
My vote is for Executive Assistant, it has a tabbed windows with calendar alongside missed calls, mails, SMS's and RSS's.
Can all the above do a reminding in "every 2 weeks"?? (eg. Every second Thursday??)
i prefer to use jorte
http://www.appbrain.com/app/jp.co.johospace.jorte
and yes, you can add reminders but max of 1 week
Suggest you have a look at Gemini Calendar - http://gemini-mobile.com/
I believe it has the feature(s) you're seeking.
Google calendar from your browser
How about setting up your repetitive dates from the computer? Google calendar will allow you to set up repetitions as you need them and the customisation of the events is better still than any app that I have seen. I use Pure Grid Calendar and that is still basing itself off of the phones default calendar. I have hockey training on a weekly basis but need to change the times on occasions and I find it eas.ier to do it from the computer as I will still need to check times online

Totally agree... the goggle calender on the PC is still the most versatile and you can set appointments or reminders to be weekly, fortnightly, 3 weekly or whatever you like.
+1 for Google Calendar.
It took me a while to work out how to do it, but basically you would set up a new event on the day you get paid, then choose "Repeats: Daily", then "Repeat every: 14 days". Simples!
The app I like to view/amend my Google calendar is Calendar Pad Pro. Awesome looking widgets for day, week or month which allow you to see what your appointments are. Can also set the start of the week as a Sunday (which is important for me). Even the free Calendar Pad had all the functionality I needed, but I upgraded to Pro because I wanted to support the dev.

or click week, and "Repeats every 2 weeks"
Is there a reg edit that ads a fortnightly repeat choice to the pull down menu in the HTC Calender? I had the option on the standard Diamond calendar but not on the HD2.
Work around - Fortnightly remiders/appointments
I've found the following Registry entries, but not sure if I'm on the right track, and don't know what to change it to anyway, but thought it might help someone with better knowledge than me ...
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manilla
AppointmentsEvent (13887035)
Calendar_Reminder (10)
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\Settings\Shortcuts\Default
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\Cappointments
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Extensions\ContextMenus\Calendar
I have also found a work-around as I'm not using outlook on my PC so can't do it that way ...
in the TASK MANAGER you can set fortnightly tasks!

If you scroll to the bottom of the calendar entry on the phone you will see a drop down box for event repetition.
