is there any way to make the envelopes of the email accounts different. I have about 4 email accounts and unless I go over them with the stylus I never know which one is which. Mabe there is a tweak that can make the envelopes different collors or something. What the hell when they made Touchflow the Htc guys tought we will have only 1 email account?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Is the name of the e-mail account on the envelop and the bar when scrolling through them not enough??

no, it is not enough because I want to know witch email has messages whithout scrolling on it. Now all I see are white envelopes with no difference beetween them.
its a good idea if can be developed i knowwhat you mean, to see emails you have to click the envelope then you could go to inbox at the top and select different folders (you see the email name there) but be a nice addition to see the email account on folder, or sysmbol, or something. like Y! for yahoo G for google mail SKY, whatever. a "O" in orange for orange etc
Yes, strange isn't it?
And if your email boxes are empty, there is no way to say which email account belongs to the white small envelope.
And there are only 4 email envelopes No way to scroll to all of them in TouchFlo...
Its like the application is not finished here....
Or are there any solutions for this?
I have 4 email accounts set up. One MAPI(Hotmail), One Exchange Server(outlook main), 1 IMAP4 and one POP3 account. It notifies which one has the new email in it with a number in green. The program is not unfinished. It it complete and does what it is supposed to do. I get notification and then hit the notification and it takes me to the mail box of my choice.
Perhaps there is a way that I am not aware of is to choose which account you want to send it from.
I totally agree, I have three accounts and it is impossible to tell wich envelope is wich account without tap/holding each one. And even worse, even then the names don't always refresh in time, so tap/holding my hotmail account and then tap/holding my work account will first display my work account it as being the hotmail account and only the second time I tap/hold it will it show the correct label.
Really don't like this. I would LOVE a way of differentiating email accounts and also the labels updating in time.....
The small email account envelopes should have been the same as the small picture icons on the right of the people tab, or the small entries on the right of the stocks tab.
Slide out, give full account name, while displaying the first letters of the account name.
And scrollable, so I can see all my 7 email accounts.
A smart Touch3d template builder could make the changes.

On my email tab I have three email accounts. Is there any way to put a text under or behind the email icons to show wich icon is for wich account?
Now if there is no mail in the mailbox I dont know wich icon is valid for wich email account.
Mmmm...
I've not heard of anyone doing this. Had a quick search but found nothing. You're right, though, it would be helpful.
The way I get round this (not the ideal solution), is to always leave one email in the inbox of each of my accounts. At least that way, the envelope is always there in TF3D with the name of the email account on it

I also thought about your workaround but when I switch on my laptop and checking mail than the mailbox on the HTC Diamond is empty after sending and receiving the next time. So really need to have a possibility to have the name somewhere around the email icons.
I've got two questions relating to ATT Pure fixes.
1. My email setup, I have a Yahoo account I linked up and was receiving emails from when the emails stopped coming, so I adding a different name email account pointed it back to Yahoo mail and everything is working fine.
The question is: how do I remove the old email account that is stuck with 4 emails in the inbox and it won’t go away, I can’t even view the emails. I just want to remove the account and don’t see where I this is located.
2. For those with pure version there are blue icon and bar accents all over the phone, I have updated with some cosmetic CAB the background and make a clear clock etc. however the "program" section still have blue colored backgrounds is it possible to change that to a black?
Thanks for your time and help

Inbox -Menu - Tools - Options - Accounts - Long push "old account" and delete...
Hope it helps you...
I'm at the indox and the email account is not displayed as an account for me to delete.
Inbox in WM, not in Manila...
There's been some sporadic posts of this around the net, but nothing concrete.
I've got a AWS N1 on WIND Mobile (Canadian company) and GMAIL push works perfectly fine (basically instantaneous) if emails lands in my Inbox.
If however, email lands in a Gmail Label (that is set to auto-archive, ie. bypass the inbox and go directly into the label), the N1 will NOT notify me that I have new mail.
So basically:
Email ---> Inbox = Notification
Email ---> Label (w/ archiving) = NO Notification
Has anyone noticed this before? Is this just the way Gmail functions on the N1?

Well, that's how Gmail works... on your PC.
Ok, gmail labels are somewhat confusing, so I'll explain how they work with an example:
Open up gmail.com on your PC.
Send an email to yourself that will get autoarchived.
Will the email show up in your inbox?
No, because it's autoarchived.
So why would you get a notification on your phone if you don't get a new email in your inbox?
Get rid of the auto-archiving if you want the notifications to pop up.
Notifications on your phone mirror your INBOX.

Which leads to a problem i occassionally have; I have my Gmail box set up for multiple inboxes; everything from my MAIN Gmail address comes into the inbox, as well as everything from 3 other gmail address; the other three however, are autolabeled upon receipt respectively; every so often, I'll get an email on one of these 3 emails. My N1 will show that I have an unread email (across the top, it'll say "Inbox (1)"), but I can't see the actual new msg. I'll then log into my main gmail account on the PC, and sure enough I have a new email in my inbox, with both the "inbox" and alternate label applied. Once I mark it as read or delete it, my N1 then shows that I have (0) unread msgs. It's random, and doesn't apply to just any single email address I have funneled into my main Gmail Inbox. I'm at a bit of a loss. If anyone has any constructive ideas (besides "don't use multiple inboxes), I'd love to hear them.

Changes labels to all mail, then change back to inbox.
You'll see the unread one there.
Thank's for straightening that out Paul.
I figured as much, but just wanted to be sure I wasn't experiencing some weird glitch. It's a little bit of a pain to have all mail in the inbox as it really does clutter up the place.
Oh well...
This did get me thinking though. Since the GMAIL app is basically running all the time on the phone, would it not be possible to write code that would have the GMAIL app issue a notification when it receives an email that goes straight into a label and not the inbox? Especially if that label is set to sync.

Unfortunately, Google Apps (like Gmail) are closed-source. Not much anyone can do with em.
You might be able to use the secondary Mail app to add Gmail as POP or IMAP and it might give notifications for other labels, not sure.
Hi, I've searched but can't find an answer to my email problem:
I've got 2 POP email accounts set up on my phone, and until now have had no problems, but a couple of days ago the email tab on the ribbon at the bottom of the home screen shows I have one email in one of my accounts. However, when I go to that account no email is visible, so I can't delete it to get rid of the false notification. When other emails arrive in that account they are visible, and I can delete them when necessary.
This problem doesn't stop me using the phone, but it's a bit irritating - any help is gratefully received. Thanks.
I think it's due to active sync. Go to Outlook E-mail inbox. There should be an unread email in there.
Thanks for your speedy reply Myth1001, but I've already checked that possibility. When I say I've got 2 email accounts I mean 2 that I've set up: Audiosense.co.uk, my company, and Sky.com, a general domestic account. There is also the Outlook account, but I didn't set that up - I presume it's part of Mobile Office. The "stuck" email is in the Sky account. When I go to the email account screen, the Sky email icon has a green box with the figure "1" in it, but when I tap to open the message it won't open, and therefore won't delete.
I have both accounts set up to leave messages on the server so I get them on my desktop machine when I return home, so I'm going to try deleting the last few day's emails from the Sky server. I don't think it's that but I can't think of anything else at the moment.
I'll let you know what happens.
I have four Gmail accounts syncing and set to "As items arrive". But I fail to see any sort of option that let's me get a notification/vibration when items do arrive, like the Outlook one.
Can anyone tell me where this notification setting lives? Right now, if I get Gmail items arriving, I don't know until I unlock the phone and check if numbers have popped up on the tile.
Also, are they syncing by WiFi when the screen is off?
I'm not understanding. Since I use only gmail maybe you are teaching me something...
What does the phone do when it is off when a normal POP message is collected vs how an imap is collected vs how a exchange is collected?
How do those differ from gmail?
My gmail makes a noise, a short vibrate and then the tile indicates the number of unread.
Does outlook, exchange, pop, or imap act differently?

When I unlock my phone, the WiFi status icon animates and "reconnects". Leading me to believe that when my phone is locked, it isn't using WiFi to do any syncing. This worries me.
My Exchange Outlook makes noise, vibrates, and updates the tile. But my Gmail things only seem to be updating the tile - so I was hoping there was a setting somewhere I just overlooked...
You know what, perhaps the secondary accounts dont get the same notifications as the primary or something weird. Maybe commit to a hard reset, setup only the gmail and see how it acts...I know there is goofy stuff with the calendar that is shown as the main one...
Not sure. I think we will get far more interaction int he at&t forums on certain items but it feels unnatural to leave my precious...my precious! XDA
I have one Windows Live, and 3 Gmail accounts linked to my phone. All my accounts give me the same alert sound I chose in the "ringtones & sound" settings of the phone. All are set to receive as sent. Ive tested, and showed coworkers a few times, emails always seem to arrive with in 30 seconds of sending an email to one of my accounts.

My exchange (work), windows live, yahoo, and gmail accounts are all working in terms of getting the notification via sound and a number of unread messages on the tile.
What is weird is that when I check the lock screen, I see icons for any unread exchange, windows live and yahoo e-mail. I never see an icon for unread gmail on the lock screen, I have to swipe up and check the tiles.
Is this what everyone else is seeing? No big deal, but I would like to see an icon for unread gmail on the lock screen. Oh, I have the Samsung Focus.

I have gmail, WLive and Exchange and I get unread count on lock screen for all three of them on my Focus. I have the alert sound turned off so can't be sure about it.

Thanks for the feedback dhan911. I may delete my two gmail accounts from the Focus and set them up again.

I think WP7 only shows your first 3 email accounts on the lock screen, each in a different position along the bottom.
I have 4 email accounts syncing with my phone (in this order): Gmail, School mail (essentially Gmail), Work 1 email (Exchange), and Work 2 email (Exchange). I can see notifications on the lock screen from my Gmail, school mail, and my work 1 email, but not my work 2 email. I do receive notification sound and vibration for all, however.

Thanks bremic9188, I am seeing icons for three e-mail accounts on the lockscreen, but am getting notifications for all five accounts. Sounds like that just may be the deal.
Another thought. If you are setting it to "As Items Arrive", why not try setting it up as an OutLook Exchange account?
First, delete the previous Gmail Account.
Now, setup a new account, select 'Outlook'. Use your Gmail info. When it fails, enter Your Full Email Address as the User name. When it fails again, select 'advanced' and enter 'm.google.com' as the Server, then select 'show all settings'. Now select any prefered settings, such as turning off Contacts and Calendar if prefered so it only grabs email. Probably change the Account name to Gmail, etc. Now hit 'sign in' and you should be set. It will operate exactly like an Exchange Account.
