Stock Email mass delete items, how to? - Eee Pad Transformer General

So I'm spoiled by Outlook and the email on my Thunderbolt.
I am using the stock mail client on my TF, and I can manually check each and every email in deleted items...the click on delete.
Is there a way to "empty" deleted items without checking each and every one off?

I think, this is one of the reasons, why you read everywhere that the stock email client sucks

Deleting Google Mail email from Trash

Hi,
How can I delete an Google Mail email from the "Trash" label? I can put them in "Trash" using a long press however there is no option to delete when doing a long press on the mail once in "Trash".
The only way I can delete this is to log onto googlemail web interface and delete the mail from the "Bin" (I'm a UK user).
Cheers.
Anybody???

From the webpage go to your settings and then to "LAB"... try using this "Advanced IMAP Controls".
--M
Thanks for the reply but no joy
Still, on the G1 I can long press in most labels and press delete which sends to Trash however long pressing on an item in the trash does not give any option to delete.
This behaviour is the same with and without that LAB package enabled.
Is there any other solution?
Cheers.
Anybody know if this is possible? It's a real pain having to delete emails from the Trash via the web interface, which is what I'm doing at the moment.
I'm considering that it might be as my GoogleMail account is a UK one and hence the folder is named "Bin" on the web interface. Is this confusion of names what is causing the G1 to not give me the option to delete emails from "Trash"? (Doubt this though, as it *does* put items into "Trash" when I delete on the phone and these can be seen in the "Bin" folder on the web interface).
Has anybody successfully deleted a GoogleMail email from the Trash/Bin using GMail app? If so, how?
Thanks.
Doesn't give me the option to delete things in the trash either.
I guess the only way to do it is from the web interface.
I'm pretty sure it cannot be done through the phone UI.
What is your goal?
I've been using gmail for a number of years now and I've never had a need to manually delete anything from the trash...

Minor OCD I think - When I delete something I want it *gone*... Not a biggie I guess.

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.

Doh! Really never entered this menu before now... I always thought it was for labels management... also if i don't understand the choice tu put this option in this menu... i need more time to play with my magic

Sent emails not showing in 'Sent' box?

Hi guys,
I've had my HD2 for almost 2 weeks now and am loving it! It's my first Windows Mobile device and I'm learning new things every day.
Everything is set up and working well *touch wood* but I have 1 slight problem. I've been sending/receiving emails via my btinternet account on the handset without a problem so far, but once I've sent out an email, there's no record of it on the handset. It doesn't show up in the sent box and, having had a look through the settings, I can't seem to find anything related to rectifying this type of problem. Am I doing something wrong and/or can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
Yup i have the same issue, another bug, sure it will be fixed soon though.
Also you notice how it does not sync any of the other folder either, atl east on hotmail it does not.

Yep I'm having the same problem with my Gmail. The inbox syncs but no other folders sync even though I have selected them in 'Manage Folders'.
Yeah, I've noticed that. It's the same with Yahoo. I don't really mind that so much though to be honest. I just want the confirmation that my emails have been sent, it's very strange?!.
how have you managed to get your hotmail accounts setup on the HD2. i cant seem to connect to the server to sync my email? ive disabled the 'proxy' in the connections settings but still cannot set it up?
Could you pls give a step-by-step setup procedure?
its really appreciated, thanks

I'm also having problems getting my emails to come through. My btinternet email ones seem sporadic and I have to click on send/receive to get them to come through. My hotmail worked a couple of days ago but now nothing....and I know I've new emails. I keep getting the page appearing asking for my password and username poping up. Can't get it to sync at all. Whats the proxy setting you mention? Wheres that?
from inbox; menu/tools/manage folders, then tick the boxes to any of the fiolders you want synched and finaly refresh your mailbox.
By default, only the inbox is always synched.

The easiest way to synch your hotmail account is by using the windows live software on your Leo. Just enter your username and password and it will do the rest.

hi , thanks.
i honestly 'prefer not to' install all the live stuff... as i believe ppl here have been able to sync without installing this? would you know if this is possible (it would be better)?
thanks

You don't have to install anything, it's already there on your start menu. It simply automates your mailbox syncing.

Having the same problem, there's no tick box!
It is strange if you cant see the boxes at least for some folders. I have to choice for Inbox, Sent Items and Junk mail.
Anyway you can try to keep the finger on the folder to get context menu where are other Folder options. And there is something I would like to ask some advanced user - why I can switch there from "Download email headers" to "Download complete message" but nothing happens and from Hotmail account the phone keeps downloading just email headers. Btw. when using POP3 for my other email account I am able to set this option to Download complete message and YES, there it is running like a charm. But with Hotmail I am not able to succeed.
Anyone knows the clue?

got it working
ok maybe its a little late but i figured it out... ---> click on email--> click on menu--> new acc--> pick hotmail/live--> put login info--> if it goes to opera like it did to me or does appear below gmail or so forth on the email tab don't worry im gonna tell you what to do next--> find the windows live icon click it.. once ur logged in you will see Windows live Home follows by Messenger followed by sync--> click on sync--> a new option appears and it should be hotmail option to view your emails..--> now get out and go to your email tab..--> at this point your hotmail is sync to ur device and should be good to go..

thanks so much clown shoes this is so simple but so easy to overlook i spent hours before i found this now have my saved mails
thanks!
I second the above poster! The fix for this was so easy, but so incredibly counterintuitive that I don't think that I'd have ever gotten this on my own.
I am trying to get the incoming mail server settings for the mobile.msn.com so i can add a second account. Does anybody know these settings?

Gmail App and deleting from server

Does anyone use Gmail w/Sync that actually delete/marks as read from the server?
From what I can tell there is no option to set this up and it is quite frustrating as it makes the incoming message count incorrect...

Do you mean that if you mark a message as read or delete on the gmail web client it doesn't update the Gmail inbox on your N1?
the Gmail android client automaticly marks things as "read" once you open them. It will also delete from the server by default. If you long press on an item you'll get more options.
pretty much whatever you do on your phone will be reflected on your computer. As long as your phone has service.
If you're looking at both your inbox on your computer and your phone, you won't see the changes happen instantly. (I tried, lol) You gotta give a few minutes.

No, the other way around. Changes made on the phone are never reflected on the web client, e.g. marking a message read or deleting a message. Messages on the server will remain perpetually unread and in the inbox until I log in to the web client and delete/mark them read. In the meantime all new incoming message counts are wrong as a result (it will say 4 new messages when there is really only 1 new but the previous three are still unread on the server).

This is the behavior I expect but is not what Polish occurring at all...the messages sever side remain untouched until I alter them (read, move, delete ) from the web client.
Ok, I did a factory reset as this doesn't appear to be the behavior experienced by others and the problem appears to have been resolved. It is now behaving as expected...odd that it wasn't before.

Screen turns on randomly

Does it ever happen to you guys? I didn't get a text, email or anything, the screen just turned on on its own.
yeah lots for me and the new roms I change daily. Always put it down to polling weather servers etc.

My screen for some reason is showing one new e-mail but I have deleted all of them (from phone and website as well) ... eh whatever ...

Try un-check the Voice Command in Settings/Other.
By default it is checked, so I thing that's messing up the screen in noisy environments.

You have to go to Inbox and actually read every new e-mail, to get rid of those hanging notifications.
There's also a cab fix that adds a menu item: "Mark a Read" but that's essentially the same thing as going to Inbox and opening each mesage.

The real fix lies in Active Sync...
You need to recreate the Exchange Mail account, then access the original or "dummy" account created when the PC synchronizes with your device to access system settings. Within that inbox, you will find the "Welcome" e-mail that you did NOT receive a notification for, nor read. OPEN IT. DELETE IT. And there you are... no more lingering notification on S2U2, or the home screen tab.

If you set up a push account then this is what will happen.While in your email tab inbox swipe to the side till you get to outlook and clear the inbox in outlook.
