So, i just got my Hero from Sprint yesterday, absolutely loving it. I've come across one annoyance so far: I have my hotmail and exchange accounts set up on the phone, and when i mark an item as read, it doesn't reflect that on the server when i refresh the folder. Instead, i still have a new mail notification from MSN on trillian, and on MSN messenger if i log into it..
Is there a work around for this, or am i doing something wrong here?

Hi there...
Anyone know a smart way for moving mails between outlook and other mailacouts on the universal ?
I often have mails in my suynced folders, and need to forward then while been out of the office, I cannot find a way to move the mail to my "mobile" acound, to be able to forward it.
this is a lousy bug in wm5 :-(
You cannot choose from which account you want to send a mail, unless you were in the right folder when you clicked on "New" mail ! :evil:
If you save it as a draft in one of the mail account folders, you cannot move it to another mail acct....thats plain stupid of MS....
you got to live with it, no other go! copy/paste the text....and create a new mail The only way!

This is just one of things that used to frustrate me to no end with a POP account.
Two months ago I switched to a hosted exchange account, and it has been nothing but joy. Now email, contacts, calander and tasks work the way they should.
Check out www.4smartphone.com they have a 15 day trial.
I do agree with you, but my company use pop3, so i'm stuck..
The other problem with sending mail and it cuts of the content (text) within the mail are even worsh for me....
No problem with you're company using POP, 4smartphone will PULL it off their POP server.
Sorry I've got no ideas on what is happening with your email being truncated.
the gmail works fine for the main email
but when connecting to secondary accounts the default app sucks WM was much better!!
Try K9...
K9 is a better POP3/IMAP client now available from the marketplace.
still can't select multiple emails to delete, or simply empty the trashcan.
2 absolutely essentials that are pissing me off.
I just want to know if anyone has successfully gotten their Hotmail to work with the email client and how. This is really getting on my nerves.

Unless you have Hotmail Plus it won't work.
Yes, I too would like to get hotmail working. Does anyone know of any new advances with getting it to work on the G1? I have hotmail plus and it still doesn't work. It always has a connection error and or it downloads about 15 of my oldest messages and then has a connection error?
maybe someone can hack the gmail push email program and create a universal push email program
let me continue...
message saved as drafts remain in the drafts folder even after send the email out. connection errors galore. i've had messages will sit in the outbox for over 30 mins even though i have a connection and i can download new messages. can you even create folders for pop3? it is just crap, crap and more crap. google should be embarrassed.

I think both of you have issues not related to the G1. They sound like it is a user issue. I get notifications, I had to check them on, It autoupdates (I choose 1 hour) The layout seems fine. I know what has been read and what has not. You really can't forward a message until you have read the entire message. That would be like me quoting your post before it posted to the forum. Gmail and Outlook both save my messages as drafts, if I go back to that message and send it, it is still saved in the draft folder. However Gmail takes it a step further and saves my messages as drafts every 5 minutes until I sent it or save it for good. Connection errors are because of the network, and Can also cause the messages staying in your outbox. In fact with POP3 messages can act weird even if it has nothing to do with the client. POP3 can't create folders it just downloads the actual message. You need IMAP which is a lot better and has a lot more options. I think that would help most your problems. And I would check to make sure that your servers are receiving the correct information along with checking your settings for the correct information also.
Please report bugs!
If you've found bugs in K-9, please report them to us at http://code.google.com/p/k9mail .
The code was originally based on the built-in android Mail application, but we're making pretty quick progress on bugs and features considering that we just stepped into this codebase.
i think you are basing your post on your gmail mail, i am refering to pop3 accounts in particular. i don't use gmail, but it seems that people are saying that it works for the most part.
i got notifications the first couple of days for my pop3 email, then it stopped working and unselecting and resetting the notification does not turn it back on. i believe this is a known issue.
in my desktop outlook, or pocket outlook and also thunderbird, when a message is in my drafts folder and i eventually send that message out, it is moved from my drafts to the sent folder. the message is sent, it is no longer a draft.
why wouldn't i be allowed to create folders for pop3 email? imap just auto creates the directory structure you have on your mail server.
yes, i do know that connection errors are due to connection errors, but when messages sit in my outbox, while i send test messages to myself and i can receive them, that is not due to my phone network errors.
i will go and log things i see...i hope to see an improvement.
thanks
I agree that the email client is the worst part of this phone
I use POP3 but I hear people complaining the same way about IMAP.
How about something simple e.g. number of bloody messages coming in.
"Load more messages"
What the hell does that mean ? When has there EVER been a load more messages prompt in an email program. I've been using email since back in the days of Pine and I always have a sense of how many messages are in my inbox. Apparently not for the G1.
No easy way to sort messages - and the connection errors just go without saying.
Nick
totally agree about the "load more messages".....why not give you an option to pick how many it loads by default.?..... senseless

Don't need to hack it, gmail will push anything you want (well, most anything...)

This works because of the software gmail uses... not the software on your phone.
Push is a server side implication, while Pull is client side. So if you find a way to Pull email as well as gmail can push than you are on to something.
At least all of you are lucky enough to get your pop3 email setup. It won't even accecpt mine. I have Mediacom (mail.mchsi.com) and it won't even set my 2 mediacom email accounts up. Just says server connection error. My AT&T Tilt never had a problem setting these accounts up. Definately need something new for a pop3 email client. K-9 does the same thing as the default email client.

are you using the correct ports?
I got it to work. I never had to use SSL before. Not even in Outlook for this account or on my WM6.1. But setting the G1 to SSL mail sever did the trick. Now I'm just disgusted with how it handles mail, slow, does not display stuff, won't delete, incorrect un-read messages, read messages mark themselves unread everytime it checks the mail. I hope RC31 brings relief to these and other mail troubles (too many to remember).

It has been perfect for my mail, are you using pop3?
this has been my main complaint from day one.
Worst email app ever.
And probably am.
I have an issue with E-mails, When I try to set up my hotmail account it askes me for my domain name but I dont know what it is.
Ive just come over to the HD2 from the TG01, Had HTC phones for the last 4 years (the last being a Diamond) I was sorry I went from HTC to the toshiba peice of crap from the first second I turned i on but thats a whole different matter...........
Thanks for any help you can give!!
Try putting in just hotmail that should work
Talking of hotmail, I've set my emails on teh HD2 for my btinternet.com account (works fine, I get the emails coming through) but on my hotmail account I get nothing, not a thing. And having been on to hotmail.co.uk I can see I've got emails sitting there. Any ideas what the problem could be? Like I say it works fine with the other account. My hotmail account is added on as 'another' email account and not outlook.
I have always found it easier to use Windows Live, not sure if its in the rom havent got mine yet, otherwise download CAB and install.
Open it up and it will set up the email account for you.
Hope this helps
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 been using the new HTC Email app for my work e-mail and I am noticing that when I mark an email as Read on the server or in my desktop email client it doesn't mark as read on my phone.
When I read an email on my phone it does not mark the email as read on the server.
Anyone else experiencing this issue? Anyone have any ideas on a solution.
Thanks

mark as read
I had the same problem with 1 particular email. I signed into my gmail account outside of the app and found the email in question to mark as read. That was a one time thing for me and I haven't had it happen. Is this a re-occurring issue with yours?
I have that problem also and it also does not show all messages in my inbox only the most recent.
Anyone know how to fix this problem?
Have exactly the same problem with my school imap server. It worked for a while, but since (I do not know what caused it) the first time it didn't "remember" read, it goes the same for any mail that comes. So if I don't go to the mail server on computer marking all as read there, they will always refresh on the device as unread. Even if I delete them on device, they will come as new messages on the device again. HTC HD2 mail server: is.muni.cz
Any help?
I can't say I have issues with my mail client when first viewing on my phone. That sounds more like POP not IMAP but I digress.
Have you tried deleting and re-adding the account?

Yes, I tried it multiple times, double checking if the settings for IMAP in my school server haven't changed. They did not. And yes, it sure is IMAP, cause I didn't want to use POP for several reasons. I have also a Gmail account (with using IMAP), but this one does not make these problems. However I don't think the problem is on their side... I think they should have IMAP covered. But noone knows. I've already contacted their administrator, waiting for response.
It very well could be an issue with your school's settings. Check with your friends to see if they notice any of those issues.
turn off 'keep on server'
