HTC Email app not working for Gmail - Hero, G2 Touch General

The last email I received on my Hero via HTC Email app is at 8.46am.
If I sync by wifi or Tmobile 2g I dont get any more emails.
The Gmail app does, my ipod Touch does. I have deleted the email account and recreated but no change.
Any ideas.

Just checked my yahoo account with HTC Mail and this works fine.
Has Google got issues??? I have all the correct imap settings
imap.gmail.com SSL port 993
smtp.gmail.com SSL port 465

I configured a gmail account in HTC Mail and it has been working fine. Only had to enter my accountname (mail address) and password. And HTC Mail configured everything else. Maybe you shouldn't configure your Gmail account manually?

Works fine for me. Both accounts I have set up are refreshed properly. I'd try deleting the account and setting it up again to see if this does the trick.

I have already deleted account.
Can you tell me if the Google email auto account settings by HTC are POP or IMAP?
If its pop3, then I wont be able to view the folders.
What I dont understand is this email has been working for nearly 2 weeks no issues.
Baffled.

Just deleted any did the HTC auto setup. Gmail setup as IMAP will same settings as I did manually, but still the newer messages from today are not showing.
This is really p*ssing me off.

Just come off the phone from HTC UK Technical support. I was speaking to a lovely lady who was very helpful. It took 30 mins but we solved it.
In a nutshell from my laptop I deleted some emails from my inbox , 5 in total out of 13 and suddenly the HTC Mail app was taking ages to sync and then voila.
It appears as if the sync status on the app got corrupted. But all working.
Happy now, and I must say a big thank you to HTC support

Hah, this is weird. I deleted and re-created my both accounts (IMAP) to check if I could reproduce your issue, but they were still syncing fine for me.
Glad you got it all sorted out.

50 email limit in Hotmail

Hi there,
I've tried searching for this but can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I want to be able to download all my hotmail emails to my HTC Touch HD, but currently theres a limit to 50 on my hotmail account.
Is there anyway of doing this? I'm sure I used to be able to do it on a previous version of windows mobile but can't seem to now. It seems so bizaare that you can't, as I often want to go back to old emails, and don't always want to go through the web to get these.
Maybe there's a better email application, or even outlook for windows mobile which I could use?
Thanks for any help,
Tom
try setting up your email account using Outlook Mobile's POP3 settings (pop3.live.com / smtp.live.com). during the setup process don't use the real email address @hotmail, or @msn or @live, use @hotmaill, @msnn or @livee. once you've completed the setup you can go back to change to the correct email account name. the only downside is you lose the push feature. your phone will poll your email account based on the interval you select during setup. i'm using this setup for my MSN account, where email arrives every 5 minutes duirng the day and every 30 minutes in the evenings.
Thanks mate, thats perfect. Don't need to have push email anyway.
Cheers, Tom

Hotmail account on HD
Hi all,
Anyway of getting my hotmail account to go through the Outlook on the phone, WITHOUT having my account on Messenger?
It seems you can only have one account setup on messenger, as as my messenger account.
Now when you setup messenger using a hotmail account, you have the option to get all emails going through the outlook, and download to the phone as normal.
BUT I dont use a hotmail account for my messenger, and my main email accoutn is a hotmail account... hope this doesnt confuse you! But my messenger is a "dead account" and any emails sent to that email go no where.
So If i try setup my hotmail account in the outlook, put in all the setting like email address, password ect, it just takes me to hotmail.com on my Opera browser, but does not save the settings in outlook?
Sorry for confusion!
Not sure I've followed you correctly.
I also don't use messenger but I do have hotmail on my device in emails tab. I used Windows Live to set it up which is on most HD roms. Once you've gone through process of setting up and sync'ing your hotmail account will appear in emails tab like any other email account
Ah yeah, but the problem is, Windows Live just like messenger only lets you have one accoutn setup at once.
So I set my hotmail up with windows live, my emails appear. Thats good.
But then it also sets Messenger up, with the hotmail account, which I dont want, if you get me?
you might be able to setup multiple hotmail accounts using the method listed here. i use this to access 2 msn accounts and 1 live account. not push, but works just as well.

Cannot setup Mail account correctly

Hello,
i just got my Hero and I'm now trying to setup my POP email account using HTC mail. I'm using the same settings which i had on my HTC Diamond but for some stupid reason i cannot setup the outgoing SMTP server on the Hero.
No matter what I do, i always get a
"550 Administrative prohibition" from the outgoing mail server.
However, i can receive email using the same account information, just sending does not work
Any hints?
have you turned authentication on for the outgoing server?
that error suggests you haven't and it is blocking you because of it!

Yes, i have. Actually, when i turn it off i do not get any error messages during account setup but then again i cannot send any mail in the HTC mail app
The above error occurs when the HTC mail setup prog tries to verfiy the settings with the smtp server.
Do you use a different username for your smtp server? That flatout refuses to work for me in HTC Mail, I would suggest you try K-9 a much better email app.

No, it's the same username (=email address).
ok, next one to try, i know on my server, the username is the email address bbut with a + instead of the @. Usually i don;t have to use it and the @ sign works, but some programs i have to use the +
could that be it?
Nope, sorry. That didn't do the trick as well.
Meanwhile i read on some other forums that it depends on the mail server, that's why some work and some won't. As it seems the HTC Mail app is sending a "script" (whatever) during account setup that is treated as malicious by the server and ignored therefore.

Can't send EMAILS, but can receive them?

I am trying to figure out why my HTC HD2 will not send emails from my handset. Although the emails are coming thru to my HTC HD2.
Kinda getting me annoyed, as I have DOUBLED check the settings with the same settings on my MS outlook 2007 via the PC, they should match up - i'm guessing?
Any idea's what could be wrong?
Cheers.
Hello,
i had the same problem. You should not configure your email account in the manila tab. Delete your account, go to start (windows button) and E-Mail. when you configure here your email account, it should work (worked for me).
Somewhere I read that you should do all future changes in settings of accounts also this way and never use the manila tap for configurations of email settings...

Have tried that... still no joy.
The email just sits in the OUTBOX, and doesn't get sent.
When mailing over WiFi or through PC use your 'home' internet providers' smtp server. When mailing over your mobile network, use your phone company's smtp server. That's the way it goes with internet.
Or use an smtp server that handles both, but they are rare (unless you have your own domain name).
my yahoo does not send email but my google email can. try using a google email.
Some providers require the "Outgoing server requires authentication" tickbox selected.

actually most of the network providers (certainly in the uk) give you an email account with your phone number, or at least allow you to register for one through them, and generally they allow smtp sending from any network.

I have no problem with sending or receiving e-mail via yahoo mail.
Incoming mail server is pop.mail.yahoo.com whilst outgoing is smtp.mail.yahoo.com. Account type is POP3. Option is selected for "Outgoing server requires authentication".
It worked for my Tilt
I have been experiencing these same problems for the last couple of weeks and gave up thinking MS has done the dirty on us again. But after trying to send an important email to a bank and seeing it fail repeatedly, I decided to do something. All the other posts on problems sending email suggest downloading the MS patch which I did, changing port numbers, which I did not do, did not work. What did work is that I checked the box for outgoing mail authentication!
Phew I can keep my Tilt WM6.1 standard build for a while longer now........
Thanks guys.

[Q] Cannot add wifes work email aco****

I'm trying to setup the phone for my wife and trying to add all of her emails.
I added her gmail account without a problem, same with her hotmail and right after I wrote email address and password it recognized it and added both without a problem.
But I'm having problem with an emial address my wife has from work, I think it's hosted on gmail but the email address is in this format [email protected] right after i enter email and password it doesn't add it automatically but rather goes to selection of pop3 or exchange or imap, and after that all the other settings like pop server and port, etc.
I checked her iphone and that's what I can find how the account was setup there....
Description - Gmail
SMTP - smtp.gmail.com
Server port - 993
Use SSL - On
Why don't you add it as a gmail / Google account?

Need help setting up outlook email and calendar

I am using CM 10.1. I would like to set up my outlook account on my phone. I just can't seem to get it working when trying with the exchange method. Not sure why. I tried the outlook.com app and it connects to my account but does not display any emails or calendar. Its like its not working. So I am stuck with my email set up with IMAP method. Anyone was able to set up their outlook/exchange account with email and calendar on their N4 running CM 10.1? Thanks.

In the outlook app, go to settings and increase the number of days to sync. I think the default is small (like 3 days).
As for Corporate (ActiveSync);
Email address: <[email protected]>
Password: <obvious>
-Hit cancel, or wait to fail-
Domain\Username: <[email protected]> (no backslashes)
Server is m.hotmail.com (m.outlook.com is for Outlook 360 accounts)
Use secure connection (SSL)
Port: 443
only sync "Email, Calendar, and Contacts".

I tried those steps before and again. No good. I tried getting support from Microsoft but I think I keep getting folks who are not qualified to troubleshoot with me. I'm curious if anyone is in the same boat with me or if there is something wrong? Any help is appreciated.
