Gmail sent mail sync problem solved

So I've been having a few issue with gmail and it not syncing with the sent mail folder. There's been a few posts on here, but I thought I'd start a new one for a 'new' solution for those that may still be having issues. I solved it mostly through help from wacky.banana (many thanks) and a bit of good fortune.
Anyway I was following advice on here that once I'd set up my googlemail account on my HD2 only inbox was synced as default, so you need to go into menu from the inbox folder>tools>manage folders and tick the box for sent mail. What I've just noticed is that when you click manage folders and it takes you to the screen with the different folders with the check boxes, it says "sent items" rather than "sent mail". I've been ticking this assuming it was my "sent mail" folder, and so only been getting mail sent using the HD2, and not been able to access older sent mail, nor does it sync with sent mail from my PC.
What I accidently found this morning was that in the manage folders page, if you expand google mail by pressing the box with + in it you will now get a folder saying "sent mail". Tick this box and everything works ok. To some of you on here this might seem totally obvious, but to those of us new to winmo it's not, and I though some of you might have been doing the same as me
My only gripe with it now is that when you go to the sent mail folder you can't catagorise it by recipient, so everthing comes up with my name/email address. Does anyone know if there's some way you can get it to sort via recipient name?

Is there a way to delete all email at once

Hi,
Anyone knows how to delete email from your inbox. Currently only can delete on email at a time. Is there a way to delete all at once?

This should go in Q&A.
A: You can select multiple emails by clicking on the faded checkbox to the left on every item. Another way is to do it on gmail.com with a computer.

Thanks, sorry missed that

HD2US: It won't delete my emails?!

So I notice I have a new email notification, when I check my email in SenseUI, I hit:
Menu > Delete Message
but about 10 or 15mins later, ill get another email notification, it's the same email I just deleted (or so I thought). I've tried this repeatedly and it will still come back. Ill even click the 'Inbox' and see it's gone, only to find out, it came back. The only way it will delete is if I click 'Inbox' instead of 'Menu' and view my email through WinMo, than click the email and hit 'Menu' > 'Delete'.
This is gotta be a bug, how do I go about fixing this? It's really annoying -_-

"Delete" works for me for Exchange account, doesn't work for gmail.

I'm using Gmail, so make sense, but why on earth would it not work for Gmail? This is frustrating.

this just started to happen to me about an hour ago.

I looked through the settings to try to find the keep a copy on the server option but cannot find that for accounts outside of exchange (windows life / outlook) My yahoo and gmail accounts keep pushing emails.
I recreated both accounts and never saw the option to delete the message from the server as well. I have not had time to really look though.

Any update?

Dont use Menu>delete. Just use the soft leftkey DELETE and it wont come back.

have you tried
emails tab - inbox - menu - tools - options - tap the account you are interested in
click send/recieve schedule - bottom of screen click advanced settings and check teh dropdown 'when deleting messages' is set to delete them off the server.

I had this problem with AOL on my HD2 (shush, now. I like AOL mail, dammit!). I found that opening the mail and then deleting it from the menu got rid of the notification, but the mail, itself, would get pushed back every time I got new mail on the server (although without a notification of it being new). It would only truly be deleted when I did so from my PC. It's no biggie as it no longer tells me I have a new message when I don't, but I guess it could be bothersome for folks that get more e-mail than I do.
Note: I don't have this problem with G-mail at all.

Deleted Gmails from the HD2 go to "Deleted Items" folder in Gmail and not to Trash

Deleted Gmails from the HD2 go to "Deleted Items" folder in Gmail and not to Trash
When I delete emails in the HD2 Mail Client (I am using IMAP with Gmail) they will go to a folder in the Gmail server called "Deleted Items" instead of the "Trash" folder, is there a way to solve this ?, thanks

Pretty uch the same setup as in the TP2 try this:
Mail tab, then Inbox, then Menu/Tools/Options Pick GMail Then Send/Recieve Schedule At the bottom Advanced Settings, Last setting : "When deleting messages" change from Move them to Server trash to Delete them off the server. click done/done/done, wallah problem solved

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I did that test, but the emails did not go to the "Trash" folder in Gmail, they were just removed from the server.

Sorry, I thought that was what you were looking to do, as far as I know its deleted items or gone from the server, but that makes me ask, if you want it to go to trash which is basically wanting them to be deleted, Whats the reason for it to be put in trash?

HD2 email driving me nuters.

Is this just me or is this SOP for the HD2..
I check my emails with my HD2, I keep the ones I want to, and delete the ones I dont. But the damn phone will not update the emails as read or deleted.
So on the next check cycle, the same emails pop back up as unread. The only way I have found to keep this from happening is to go to my actual email accounts and mark them there. So annoying.
Is there something I am doing wrong, or is my email on my phone screwed up, or is the just the nature of the HD2 email checker?
Is there a way to fix it?

Emails Won't Delete from Server
I too am having a problem getting emails to delete. I can delete them on the phone, but the next time it connects to the pop email server, the deleted messages reappear and I do have the setup marked to delete them from the server.
Email on my Kaiser worked perfectly with the same settings until I flashed a recent 6.5.x rom at which time it started having the same problems. I assumed this was a problem with the ROM, but the T-Mobile official ROM does the same thing.

just to be sure, is your email account set up as the "Outlook email" or a standard email account?
if it is a standard email account, make sure you are using IMAP and NOT POP3.

Can't remember from the back of my head right now, but tinkering with the settings somewhere for each account, there's an option to "delete and put into the trash can" or "delete it completely off the server".

Solution for Delting E-Mails
The following worked for me. I found that changing the setup to delete immediately as opposed to the default setting of delete on connect/disconnect fixed the problem.
Click the "Windows" hardware button and select "E-Mail" / "Menu" (soft key) / "Options" / "Storage" (tab) and change "Empty deleted items" to immediately.
