Whenever I do a send/receive on my IMAP account, I lose all of the previously read e-mails. Is there anyway to remedy this?
Hi All,
I am receiving my Yahoo email and work IMAP email in the native Android email app. Yesterday afternoon, my IMAP email just stopped working. Yahoo is fine. I can send email, but not get email from the IMAP account.
I deleted the account, rebooted the phone and added the account back. All the settings are fine and check out, but it will not retrieve email.
I downloaded K9, and using the exact same settings, I can retrieve/send IMAP email without issues.
Any known bugs or ideas? The email is an exchange server, but we don't have active sync, so IMAP is used outside of work pc's.
Thanks!
Mike

I have a co-worker with a Sprint phone with Android on it (not sure which phone). She, too, is having troubles with IMAP with our work email as it will just stop sending/receiving emails periodically as well. This solves one problem in that I do not believe that this is just your phone. However, it creates two more problems in the sense that it is either Android problem or a problem with the email server.
I think it's an android thing. I have a few exchange accounts set up (first of all.. it does more than one... which is awesome), and the first time i sent an email my phone kept bouncing back with "can't send message" errors.. meanwhile.. the guys i sent the email to got repeat messages. one for every bounce back message I got. So it seems the built in email application isn't so great with emails. works fantastic with gmail though. I'm using a Touchdown trial. It's a $20 app. it's ok. i prefer the stock one.. .but it works fine so far.
I'm having a strange problem with the stock email app (not the gmail one). I've set it up to download mail using pop (set to leave messages on the server) from a gmail account which it does but as soon as I read one of the messages or refresh the inbox then all the e-mails in the inbox vanish. They don't seem to exist anywhere on the device.
I've tried numerous times deleting the account, clearing the data and recreating it but the problem still exists. I'm not using the Samsung hub.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
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

On my wifes S5, we set up yahoo with the stock email app as IMAP.
Whenever she deletes an email it reappears, usually minutes, after deleting it.
I have heard this is a known issue. She is on Kitkat.
Does Lollipop fix this issue?
I have an S5 also, i set my yahoo up as IMAP with the stock email app.
I have no issues deleting my emails. We both have verizon S5's.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thank you for your help in advance.
