Hi Guys,
I have a few email accounts setup on my phone, mostly Gmail, all with the same settings and setup with IMAP. Somehow most of the accounts work fine, but two of them seem to function more like a POP3 account. If I delete or mark the email as read from my phone, the change will update on the server and my computer. If I go the other way though and read or delete from my computer, the change will not reflect on my phone. Because of this most of my accounts show only a few unread emails, and two of them show 50 unread. Has anyone had a similar issue, and are there any thoughts to solve this?
I've tried deleting and adding the account again on my phone, and going through all the settings Gmail on working and nonworking accounts to compare. I'm using the stock email app on the Alliance KK Rom. Thanks,
Nila

Hey all,
I've been having some problems with POP3 and gmail on my TyTN/8525. That problem being: it doesn't work anymore. It worked great for about a week, then just stopped working for no apparent reason. I didn't change any of my gmail settings during this time.
After it stopped working, I randomly got 5 of the 100+ e-mails that I was suppsoed to get. Gmail is receiving them fine and I can see them when I login to gmail, they just don't get downloaded when my phone pops it. I can send e-mail through gmail's pop fine.
Anyone have a clue what my problem might be?
Thanks,
Todd

Which wireless provider?
Have you tried deleting the Gmail account on the TyTn and then re-adding it?
Can you POP3 access it from you'r home computer etc (to make sure it is not a Gmail issue)?
If these do not help post you're setup so we can take a look
I think the problem seems to stem from the fact that Gmail breaks down your messages in groups, like around 300 or so messages at a time. On top of that, Pocket IE doesn't download the full messages by default and, as such, leaves a copy of the messages on the server. I think when this happens, Gmail doesn't prepare the next "group" of messages to send to you. Also, Pocket IE, by default, is set to show only messages from the last 3 days, so even though it may have downloaded a bunch of messages, you'll only see the ones that are 3 days old or less. You'll want to uncheck that option.
Try setting up your account as you normally would in the desktop mail app of your choice, Outlook Express for example. Make sure it isn't set to leave a copy of the messages on the server. If Outlook Express didn't download the first group of messages, make sure to do a manual send and receive. That will hopefully tell Gmail to prepare your next group of messages. Alternate Send/Receives with your phone and Gmail until you get to your most recent messages. Also, try putting recent in front of your user name, IE, "recent:[email protected]" instead of just your user name/e-mail address.
i find with gmail that it stops working every few weeks and i have to go into gmail on my pc and re-check the Get all pop email from now, ( it seems there are too many emails to be sent down )
using the "recent:" prefix before your login in your outlook username should fix this.

Hi everyone,
I have searched the forum for similar problems but can't find anything. I have my email set to check email every 15 minutes. Even after I delete the emails from my phone, when gmail is checked 15 minutes later, the emails return once again as "new". On the computer version of gmail, the emails are still unread in the inbox.
How can I set the "delete" on the email tab to actually get rid of the email? (preferable send the email to the archive function of gmail)
Thanks in advance.
anyone?????
I have the save problem
Use activesync (with push) instead of POP/imap, works perfectly.
Mine did the same thing until I changed my mail settings to say "delete from server" and also "immediately" if you don't change your delete settings to immediate then it wont actually erase the mail until the next time it connects and downloads it all over again.
GMAIL not deleting - Windows Mobile 6.5
I'm running WinMo 6.5 Cell ROM on a Touch Pro 2 from HTC.
I have exactly the same problem. I delete GMAIL messages from the Inbox on my handset. Next time the phone does a Send/Receive it brings down all the new mail again from the GMAIL server. Basically the handset is not marking mail as being deleted, nor is it marking the mail as read on the server.
I'm using GMAIL in MAPI/SMTP mode on the handset as this is what is accepted by default when setting up the GMAIL account on the device.
I've no experience of using ActiveSync/PUSH for mail. How do you set it up?

I use activesync to download all my messages from google, It also pulled my calendar and contacts to the handset too, I found the instructions by going to: wwwDOTgoogleDOTcom/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299 (wont let me post outside links, so Dot = .) Also on section 11 before syncing everything, I synced each item individually first then switched them all on as I was getting errors.
ActiveSync and PUSH MAIL for Google Mail is the best alternative for being able to hardly experience inbox and retrieval errors.
to delete emails go into your inbox and when you delete, use the left softkey (the bin icon) to delete and not the sense menu.
Gmail not syncing
I had the exact same issue. I searched forever until I found what worked for me. It appears to be an issue is you restore using nandroid. Here is the link on how to do it.

remove the () () of course.
At first my mail seemed to work OK, now it is not checking the mail on my hotmail account, anyone else having issues?
The other issue is with the program itself, I am not able to see old messages that are in my inbox on all accounts or go into different folders I have on these accounts.
I did delete the hotmail account and reinstalled it but did not help.
Hi There!
I want to configure my wife's Defy so she can get email from her gmail account.
I don't want it to be pop3, as I don't want to remove any of the messages from her gmail account, as she also gets her email via pop3 on her Desktop Outlook?
I see 2 different gmail options on her phone, is it an option to get some form of sync'd account or perhaps is Imap the only other option?
Cheers
You might have to enable IMAP in your Gmail account preferences, but you can also use POP3 and configure it to not delete the messages on the server.
Also from my experience the default mail application works better than the gmail one which is slow and doesn't always show latest messages to me.

Yah I am finding it hard to believe there isn't some form of activesync syncing option.
Hi I use the stock email program on my nexus 7 ( not gmail) does anybody know if you can set up more folders under the inbox so I can keep certain emails in their, so not clogging up the main inbox. If not can anybody recommend an alternative email program. Thanks

I have the same problem. I want to keep some Emails on my device. It seems to be NOT POSSIBLE.
What app can do this?:fingers-crossed:
Thanks in advance for any reaction.:good:
You could use Gmail to sign in and collect your other email accounts. You can create new labels (folders) from your pc in Gmail and sync them to the N7. You can move emails to whatever folder you want and can setup rules to have them go there. Any non-Gmail account is identified with a tag. You can have the retrieved emails deleted from the original server or keep them. I use Gmail to get my Yahoo emails and my ISP account emails. Everything in one app, identified by account. You can also have Gmail use any of the accounts to 'send from'. On the pc in Gmail, hit the menu icon (gear wheel), choose settings, Accounts & Import to add your credentials to retrieve emails from other accounts.
