IMAP emai limit number of emails or days - Galaxy S II General

I have been playing with the S2 and all seems good apart from the email app, when I cnnect to my imap mailbox it downloads the whole lot. Is there a way to limit the number or emails or number of days as I have around 2000+ emails. I could do this on my desire but I am guessing the email app is part of touch wiz as opposed to android.
Thanks

I could still do with some advise, I am using maildroid at the moment but would like to use the stock apps if possible as you get the lock screen notifications.
Thanks

I'm looking for that too. My Desire HD Roms (running on my old HD2) could limit the days that were synced and also the size that was downloaded, both for imap. I could e.g. select sync last 7 days and download only text and 5kb automatically. I can't find any of these options in the SGS2 with my imap accounts.

If you set up your email account as a premium account, it will only download emails from a maximum of a month previous. It will also continue to remove emails (only on the phone, not on the imap server) so that you only see a month. I think you can also restrict it to a day or week also.

Thanks for the info but the app refuses to setup imap on m account I get error

I have tried updating my phone via kies but it tells me my firmware is up to date kernal 2.6.35.7-I9100BOKE3 but I am guessing there should be a KE7 version avaliable.

Random Email Behavior

I have several POP3 email accounts configured on my Jasjar. Each account is set to check for email automatically, but the actual automatic function seems very random. If I use send/receive, each account functions without problem, accessing the account, authenticating, downloading, and logging off. Left to its own devices, though, the Jasjar seems to check accounts in no particular order and at random times. It does seem to check the first account configured more frequently than other accounts but, again, the timing of the events seems to bear no resemblance to the “Check every 15 minute” parameter set in the account profiles.
I thought that perhaps having every account check at 15 minute intervals would cause the accounts to “interfere” with one another – with the other accounts missing the “check email” trigger because one account was busy accessing its server – so I staggered the check-every parameter for each account, setting it to 15, 17, 19 minutes. This does not appear to correct the problem.
My Jasjar is set to always on in the power settings and the registry has been hacked to keep GPRS up at all times.
I am running:
ROM version 1.13.53 WWE
Radio version 1.04.02
ExtROM version 1.13.137 WWE
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Mine seems to work fine when it's set to check my (three) pop accounts every 60 minutes, I assume you're always getting a good signal, so it is actually able to connect? I've noticed that mine doesn't retry if the connection can't be made on the first attempt.
However, my G-Mail account is acting funny. If I leave read messages in my inbox, they disappear when the JJ does a send/receive. Only happens on G-Mail though, so I don't think it's a WM5 problem, I'm probably missing a setting on gmail.com somewhere?

OMG I thought it was just me!! its nice to know im not alone! BTW I take it that pocket outlook can now (WM5) poll more than one account at a time? (remember with WM2003se if you left outlook on text msg how it would not bother with emails?)
I know this should be easy, but HOW do I actually config my email to check automatically every XX mins?
select options (within pocket outlook) you should now see your email account name, simply click on the name to access the setup, press next 4 times till you go to the "server information" screen, now press the options box hope that helps!
Ta for that - not sure why I didn't find it, I remember seeing that when I first set the email connection up!
weird issue with Gmail via Jasjar
I just experienced a weird issue with Gmail via Jasjar messaging app as well.
If I send an email larger than 10K, then it will never go out and always end in error saying the message cannot be downloaded. Smaller size can be sent without any problem through Gmail smtp server. Pls try it out guys and let me know if yours is working fine.

Only 1 out of my 2 email accts retrieves new email messages?

Hello guys,
Currently I have an HP Ipag h6315 running Windows Mobile 2003. I have setup 2 emails account on my PDA ( Gmail & Bellsouth ).
I set both accounts to connect and retreive new messages every 2 minutes; however, only the account "checked" under ACCOUNTS will be the one that connects and retreive the email messages.
Shouldn't both accounts connect every 2 minutes and get new messages?
for example:
- If i go to inbox, it'll default to the inbox of whatever account i have checked under "accounts". if i check bellsouth, i'm able to see my messages from my bellsouth email address; however, after i close it and go back to the today screen, then only "Bellsouth" will connect and get new emails every 2 minutes.
- If i want Gmail to be the one to connect the every 2 minutes then i would have to go to inbox and check Gmail in order to gmail to be the one to connect every 2 minutes.
I dont know if that's the way its supposed to be, since i have set the option to connect every 2 minutes on both accts.
If anyone knows of this issue and happens to have a solution for it, i really appreciate it. Or perhaps is just a non-fixed bug.
thank you in advance,
Will V.
Unfortunately I think it's a bug in the Universal. I've been dealing with this problem since I got my Universal several months ago. Originally I thought it was a Windows Mobile 2005 problem, but I've had confirmation from several Wizard users (which is also WM2005) that their devices will check multiple accounts automatically.
For the time being I've gotten used to making sure my universal is always on my most important account and simply switching to my other account and manually checking it periodically. I'm hoping that this will be fixed in the next ROM upgrade.
Brett
Same problem for me in my Qtek 9000. Only the "active" account cheks mail automatically, no the others accounts. I´m asking for the solution in several forums but no possible. I think is a problem on WM5.
Actually it might be a problem with both WM3 (what i'm using) and WM5 (what you guys are using) kind of sucks to be having to switch in between accts in order get your new messages... if that's the case, that's a quality that the blackberrys will always outperformed the Windows mobile devices.
I'm sorry Will, I misread your first message. I believe it's a known issue in WM2003... it was supposed to be fixed in Wm2005, but there are still problems with the universal, at least.
Brett
I have the same issue.
Its a Pocket Outlook issue, as when I bought and switched to WebIS Mail, there wasnt an issue anymore. Works like a dream, no issues w/ it EVER and wil try to use wifi instead of gprs if you are on a wireless network, giving you a good speed burst w/ the universal...
Still on Pocket Outlook...is it possible to have a 'replay to' address specified for an e-mail account?
I can see that webIS Mail has the opiton but couldn't find it on Outlook.
thanks,

Blackberry Connect, Service Book Management problem: message store limit reached

Hope somebody can help me as this is driving me crazy, can't find a way to solve it and have found absolutely nothing about it on the web.
I have a HTC Hermes running WM6 (the Elf ROM with Crackberry support) with BBC 4.0.
BBC had been working amazingly. Until I decided to reinstall BBConnect to test something (how's that saying go ... "if it works ...").
Now I get the following problem: a PopUp saying 'Service Book Management' with the message 'Device message store limit reached. You must delete a message store to use service "[email protected]" ' and gives me the option to Retry or Cancel....
Yes, it does get solved when I delete the problem account.
But hey, I dont want to delete the account, I want to check it on my phone! And it was working perfectly before. The problem account is one of the two pop3 accounts I have set up on my blackberry internet service ... a Gmail account ... I tried deleting it and trying with a different one ... but no, the same problem comes up with any pop3 account I try to set up after the first one.
When opening up messaging, I can see the following accounts: Text messages, [email protected], blackberry, [email protected]1, MMS.
I think the cause to this problem may be related to Windows Live ... but I have already deleted the Windows Live account (through the registry) as wel as the Outlook account ... and nothing.
The strangeundeletable account is another pain in the A ... sent to my device every time I provision my HTC with the Entreprise Blackberry account through the Blackberry Desktop ... but lets leave that for another thread.
Anybody any ideas?
Ive been racking my brain with this to no avail!!!!
PLEASE HELP!
try cancel the email account on the blackberry page then reinstal BBC 4 and after that readd the accounts + send service books
Oh, I've reinstalled BBC 4 about 15 times in the past 24hs.
No luck whatsoever.

[Push Mail] How to configure Gmail account ?

I was wondering if its possible to get pushmail for gmail without using outlook ?
Is this possible ? Am I supposed to use IMAP or POP mail ?
Please help, thanks
If you setup mail, it will automatically setup for IMAP.
You configure for how often it checks the server.
Thanks I just did that, but the problem is it checks every 5 minutes, thats not exactly push mail is it ?? It should have the option "As mail arrives"
I tried deleting an email from my inbox, but when I check online, its still there (the actual gmail inbox) .. it seems they are not really in function are they ?
EDIT : Okay The messages got deleted in the browser inbox after 5 minutes ... So the email syncs every 5 minutes
How can I make it an instant connection (pushmail) ??
Actually Outlook Mobile 2007/2010 still pulls from IMAP instead of receiving pushes (Microsoft doesn't exactly know about IDLE). You'll want to set up an Exchange connection. See here for more details about Google Sync.
You'll want to configure the server manually. You can find ActiveSync somewhere into your Start menu, otherwise just go to the Sense settings tab, Data Service and ActiveSync to configure the server, then follow the instructions from the link above.
Thank you very much, that worked, and I can choose "As item arrives" now
One last thing, is it possible to change the email name from Outlook to something else ? e.g. Gmail ?
ZaZu90, what domain did you choose while configuring the connection? I can't click next unless I choose a domain, since the activesync software is different and probably newer than the one used in the google instructions...
I followed Yunabeco's link, the domain was left blank.
You have to initiate the email settings from active sync, not from adding a new account.
Check the intsturctions ^^
Yes I am trying to do the same but as I said I cannot leave the domain blank, i HAVE to fill in something in order to continue configuring the connection...
And apparently I am not the only one with this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5382949&postcount=4
Hmm this is strange, does it have to do with the location of purchase ?
Im not sure :S
I don't think it has to do with the location of purchase. Thanks for your help though. I am using dutty's holy grail 0.3a rom (wm6.5 build 21889, Base 2.01). What are you using?
Chaps,
have you had a look at this ....http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138636
Might help you.

Yea, that's the same document as earlier in this thread, but the problem is that the instructions don't work on some devices.. see the previous page
I just did the Push Mail setup (used the link from Yunabeco post)
I had no problem with the instructions, but for some reason it will only get the mail when I do an ActiveSync.
The ActiverSync chedule is set to sync during Peak times (As Items arrive) and off-peak times (As Items arrive).
The Use above settings and Send/Receive when I click Send) are als set to on.
Did I miss a setting as it's not working for me the way it should, or do I need to set something in my Gmail account also?

Barty,
Surprised at this. I set this up the other day on my device in order to talk someone through it and it worked. Deleted it as I don't need push mail right now.
Wondered if those who can't get it working can put down the steps they have taken to setup on their devices and we can see how we can help?
WB
I wonder if its possible to set up multiple push mail accounts ?
Gonna search for that now, if anyone got a link before I finish my little research, please add it !

Help with Yahoo Mail! Downloading all my inbox for unknown reason!

Hey guys,
I am having this really weird issue with my email (which is Yahoo mail). I would initially set up my email as usual, i.e. by entering username and password and let it do it's thing.
I had setup my email settings as "download messages for the past 3 days" but for some reason after leaving the phone in sleep mode for several hours (i.e. overnight, while charging or unattended at work), it will then start downloading everything in my inbox under yahoo mail which is around 3,5xx emails without me knowing! and then the phone will start to become very very sloooow... having manila running 90-95% at all times, (my observation) apparently windows mobile email is trying to sync everything from the inbox (after finish downloading) to HTC sense which is causing a Big Slowdown! which is i think the reason why manila runs at 90-95%.
this has been an issue for me since i bought the phone, so i always end up deleting the account on the phone so it'll stop the sync to HTC sense and stop manila from running 90-95%.
It is very annoying and i was wondering if there is anybody over here has experienced the problem and solved it?
i have also tried upgrading my rom to the current european 1.6x but no luck and still acting the same. I just don't want to stop using the email that i've been using for the last 9 years just because of this.
I will greatly appreciate any help.
Anyone>?????? anybody??????? i am sure some of you uses yahoo mail.
just wanted to find out, if anybody is under the same situation when using yahoo mail!
thanks
How did you add your account in the first place? You should just enter your email address and let the HD2 setup automatically.
I guess you setup pop3 instead?
I'm facing the same issue. I went to HD2 email setup, entered the email address, password and used the default yahoo settings which HD2 suggested.
For the first 2 days I kept getting all new emails. However on the 3rd day overnight it downloaded the whole yahoo mailbox with over 2500 emails. Had to delete the account and add it back a couple of times, but the issue keeps recurring.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here. Is there any setting I need to change to prevent this from happening?
Chaps,
Don't know what settings you are using for Yahoo but if you want to restrict how many emails get downloaded to your device then do the following:
On the device go to Inbox>Menu>Tools>Options>Email Account (whatever you have called it). Tap on that and then tap on Send/Receive schedule.
Form here you can set the frequency of updates and how many days worth of emails you want downloaded onto the device.
Hope this is helpful

This issue also exists on my Raphael. Started a few months ago for some reason.
No matter what you set your retention limit to (3 days, 7, etc) it always tries to pull everything and bogs the phone done like crazy. Last time I wiped it, it was set to 7 days and it had email dating back to Jun 09.
Any idea on a resolution? as it seems to be affecting various devices.
up to now, i am still experiencing this problem.
i have tried everything.. i.e. hard reset, flashing to duttys holy grail v.05 rom and after setting up everything, it will still the same issue.
this issue only applies to yahoo mail.. i never had issues with gmail.
i wonder if it's because i am not using mail plus which requires a monthly fee and benefit you to use outlook using forwarding.
i never had this issue wih the iphone, although if you search yahoo, they specifically support iphone and blackberry only and regular mobile phones.
i have this problem too. i think its has something to do with Yahoo POP settings rather than our device. Gmail has a much more advanced mail settings than Yahoo. The gmail (IMAP) which is free is much better than yahoo plus (POP).
delete the accoun and wehn setting up again choose advanced settings you will find what limits this things
Same problem here
Hello, I have this problem in my Touch Pro 2. Haven't found a solution yet but I think the problem is at yahoo mail b/c i have used other imap and pop emails w/o having this behaviour.
It's probably some maintenance yahoo does to their servers that changes each mail datetime and thus, the WM mail client bring all inbox items and the phone gets freezed.
If someone find a solution for this issue please let me know.
regards,
Yasel
Same problem...
I am seeing this for my Yahoo mail on my Imagio also. It doesn't matter what the settings are, every few days, my entire inbox starts downloading (10000+ messages) causing the phone to hang & requires a hard reset.
Has anyone found a fix?
crude workaround
weird, this has started to happen to me on my tp2 in the last couple of weeks, maybe yahoo is doing something to different servers on a rolling basis.
Until it's fixed I've set up a folder within yahoo via my pc where I've dumped all emails over a couple of weeks old. I haven't synced my phone with that folder so myinbox is limited to a couple of hundred mails at the most. Once the issue resolves itself I'll put them back.
