My email inbox keeps empying? - HD2 General

This is driving me crazy, for no reason my inbox on my email just emptys for No reason any ideas or anyone experiance this problem?

are you checking the email account from another machine? pop mail checked for instance through outlook will remove the matilda from server, so they vanish from phone next time the phone checks the account.

same thing has happend to me today its a virgin blueyonder pop3 account ,having probs with emails sending as well even after hard reset

There is a setting how old mails to be shown. I don't know if it applies to POP3 since I use IMAP. Also I have a swedish rom but I'll try to translate the location correctly:
Go to your inbox > Menu > Settings > Alternatives > Select your account > Schedule for downloading mails > Set this to all mails.

cheers there seems to be a problem with my mail servers, so it;s not the phone after all.

You wont be able to get sending emails through virgins smtp servers to work (to my knowledge), because they only allow sending from within their own network, i.e over your wifi/broadband. Lots of isp's introduced it some years ago to stop relay spam email.
If you have a mobile, chances are you have a mobile email that will allow you to send to its smtp servers from data or wifi, so you set you pop incoming to virginmedia, set your outgoing to smtp.o2.co.uk (or whatever, look it up) and so long as you set your return address to the virginmedia one, all replies will come to your vm inbox.
EDIT - you will be able to receive over data, it's just sending that won't work.

it's a strange one used my xperia for 18 months and have been able to send mail through smtp.blueyonder.co.uk and have sent some mail through hd2 with this smtp.

heh, well i connect to the ntlworld.com ones, and i can verify that is how its worked for years on their network, no matter what you do with authentication, you can't send to smtp.ntlworld.com from any connectiuon other than a vm one. It was annoying at first, but it pushed me to get some hosting and use my own pop mail. get and send from anywhere, much easier.
The three cable networks are all still kind of sperate, even under virgin, maybe telewest used to let their customers relay mail and its never been changed.

hi email back up and running, and sending from my hd2 using smtp.blueyonder.co.uk, touch wood it lasts. Vm seem to be having a bit of bother with their emails at the mo.

Gmail POP’ped to desktop and IMAP’ped to Wizard?

I would like to read my gmail email in MS Outlook on my computer, and while I am away from it, read the new only emails (the ones not yet downloaded to desktop) from my T-mobile MDA.
The way I understand it is done is to POP emails to desktop (which deletes them from the email server) and use IMAP on the mobile device to read whatever is not POPped yet. The problem is that Google’s Gmail does not support IMAP protocol. So how do I do this then, other than to change to an email provider who supports both POP and IMAP?
In gmail's POP service you can choose to either delete or archive email d/l by your device. You could read ur email from your pda then the email you just read would be archived into another folder.
I think what you need to do is change the settings in MS Outlook on your desktop to leave a copy of the email on the server for x number of days. On your PDA change the imap server settings to only download the last x number of messages or messages that were received in the last x number of days. I don't use a POP server anymore but you should be able to use the "tools" then "email accounts" then "view or change exisiting email accounts" and look for something along the lines of leave copy/copies of email on the server so that way Outlook doesn't delete them from the server.... In terms of the POP settings on the PDA make sure that it is never deleting emails off the server otherwise you are going to be faced with "dissapearing" email messages.
Hopefully this helps or someone else can be more helpful.
go to your gmail account, in the settings you can set it to be accessable through POP, do that. Dont forget to set it to leave a copy on the server
On your PDA you need to configure Outlook to accept the gmail accout.
go Start > Programs > Messaging
at bottom of screen choose Accounts
click New
enter email address click next
enter Your Name, User name, Password ( I leave the save password box ticked as I am idle ) click next
choose account type POP3
choose Name POP3 (unless you have option to choose another name you like better) click next
in server information
set Incoming as pop.gmail.com
set Outgoing as smtp.gmail.com
click the options button, page 2 of 3 check Outgoing requires server auth , check box Require SSL
click next
box now shows all Accounts as New, Text Message, POP3
click the OK top right of screen
thats it, done.

...and hence not downloaded to the desktop if I understand correctly.

Gmail does not support IMAP unfortunately. Also, I do not want to go by the number of days or number of messages because those things are not known in advance. I only want to pop email to my computer, and read whatever is not popped to the computer from the mobile device.
tbc_borg, the instructions are helpful if I only wanted to read email from the road. But after email is downloaded to the device, Gmail does not pop it to the desktop, which is not good for me.
I think I found how to do this.
I got another gmail address, set up forwarding of everything from the main email to the second one (with the original left in the main Inbox). I pop everything from the main email to the desktop and from the second email address to the Wizard. I will be receiving duplicate emails to both desktop and the mobile device, but that is better than having only half of emails on the desktop. Any better ideas? I searched extensively, found nothing smarter (well, again, other than finding an email provider that supports both pop and imap protocols).
I had the same problem. What I did was open a second relay a/c, eg [email protected]. I then added a forward on all mails from my normal gmail account to the relay account. On my phone I have my incoming mail server set to the relay account but my outgoing server set to my normal account. This means that all your mails will be forwarded to the relay account and when you want to reply to any of them on the phone it will send them from your normal account!
Bit of a roundabout way of doing things but works fine!
WOW, good hint with the different outgoing server, decmac! It works just as expected!
But I noticed something else that is wrong. I send a test email to my main email address, it gets forwarded to the relay email address. Send/receive from computer, receive the email fine. Send/receive from Wizard, receive it fine as well. So far so good. However, when I send/receive from the Wizard again, the email message that has just been downloaded gets DELETED and is nowhere to be found on the device (not even in "Deleted Items" folder.) I wonder what I have missed in the settings somewhere.
Yeah, that's a problem. It seems to only keep a current copy of your Gmail inbox on the phone so when you do send/receive it overwrites everything. What I have done to get around this is select "Get Message headers only" and select "Include x Kb of message body" Make x big enough to get all of your messages. It then keeps my messages in my inbox until I either delete it or select "Get entire message and any attachments" in the email message.
Not sure if this would work but maybe move messages into a local folder on the phone. Haven't tried this but in theory it should work! The above works perfect for me!
Perfect! It works!
Vielen Dank!

Outlook sync times

Hi all,
I know that i can manage my sync times for hotmail by going
start>messaging>menu>options>hotmail>sync schedule
so i can basically only get my hotmail emails during the day, or when i want them, but there doesn't seem to be a similar option with outlooks direct push.
just wondering is it a possibility, or am i missing something simple?
many thanks
The reason why you can choose not to sync during the night with your hotmail is because you need to check periodically if there is new mail on hotmail, thus using the internet connection regularly.
Push mail works the other way around: whenever the server gets a message, it will contact your device and tell it that there's new mail.
I think that for stopping Pushmail from sending you mails at night you need to change a serverside setting, because it is the server that does the work.
thank you very much for your help mate
i'm with you now!
You can set the schedule of your Exchange email by going to Programs > ActiveSync> Menu > Schedule
In Schedule you can set how often to sync for peak and off-peak times, so what you would probably want to do is set your off-peak times to "Manually" or "Every 4 hours" etc.
At the bottom of the page there is a link that directs you to the page of adjusting the Peak Times.
Hope this helps you.
Cheers

Sorry but that's wrong.
Hotmail is now pushed to WM6.1 phones when you use the Live Wizard to set it up. (Other webmail emails will need a 3rd party app).
If your Outlook is Exchange Push, then you should have the same settings for both.

new gmail push service...

Has anyone tried it yet?
http://www.google.com/mobile/products/sync.html#p=winmo
It supposed to bring the 'push gmail' feature.
Yes I'm using it since yesterday and it's working great.
ditto here, working quite nicely. Although is there a way to sync with two exchange servers at the same time? (that I don't have to pay for an extra service for). I would really like if I could connect with my works exchange server and my personal gmail one at the same time, but without having to go through the hassle of buying a service and paying monthly fees for the push service.
Any ideas?
works great just started to use it a bit of a pain to setup but didnt take too long.
yah...using it...quite good...
I'm having problems with this..
tried setting it up a few times but wouldnt sync. finally only sync'd when i connection to my wifi at home. As soon as i disconnect the wifi, the sync doesnt work anymore. wondering if its a t-mobile issue. cant seem to find any settings for activesync to use 3g instead of wifi. had it setup using imap with no problems what so ever. Anyone else have this issue?
Hi,
i am new about the push mail feature :
What i believed was(need to be confirmed or denied ;-):
With the gmail push, i wouldnt have anymore to
press a send/receive button in order to check my Gmail emails.
Each time i receive a mail on that account, i would be
informed nearly in realtime on my topaz, like with sms.
So i configured my gmail account like in:
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
except i put [email protected] instead of @googlemail.com
(else wasnt working for me)
My topaz was connected via activsynch
so a kind of folder synchro occured
With a "Gmail" folder
and (translated from french) subfolders:
inbox/"sendbox"/drafts/"shifting"/sent/deleted/personal/professionnal/received
But then no mails appeared in them, so had to go to
parameters/"email configuration" to set again my gmail account
(strange to have to do it twice)
And so a "Gmail" subfolder(to Gmail folder) appeared
with new sub-subfolders :
drafts/bin/sent messages/spam/"followed"/"all messages"
and then my previous Gmail's emails appeared
Last i went to parameters/communication/Microsoft direct Push
to set it "on"
I tried for a test to sent a mail to my gmail account
but 45mn later still no notification of a new mail in my Gmail box
(ps: in the accounts settings, window where you have["sms/mms"; "email outlook";"Gmail"; "new account" with tabs "accounts"/message/adresse/storage]), my gmail account is set to 15mn in "send/receive planification")
If i synchronize via programs/ activesync from 3g: no newmail
If i synchronize via programs/ activesync from usb connection my pc:
i got the new mail
The only interest in the push feature i saw was to save battery (topaz doesnt have to send/receive each 15mn automatically)
and be informed quickly when you have a new mail.
sorry for my ignorance, and thanks in advance for any help
regards
no replies still ?
up
No attachments
I've noticed that I can't receive any attachments with my mail. This is even after I have changed the email settings to receive all attachments in activesync and email account options.

VERY annoying email bug(s)

I have set up my own personal email account in the HD2 - not outlook, just a standard personal email.
Configured all well and good; works fine except for the very poor implementation by HTC which gives the user absolutely no audio / visual conformation that your messages have actually been sent successfully....?!
However, I have it set to retrieve new emails from my server every 15 minutes, but it does this so erratically that I can't trust it. Today I was wondering why no email had come through by 1pm, so I manually pressed 'send and receive' and 8 important emails came through from 8.40am!
So I decided to check the mail settings (again) to make sure it wasn't just me being dense. That's when I discovered an even more annoying bug -
Every time I access my POP3 email account's settings the HTC automatically changes my incoming mail account user name from whatever I saved last time, to just the first 3 letters of the user name.
ie I put in a user name of [email protected] and the next time I view the settings there's only HTC in the username box.
It gets worse still, everytime I also check the outgoing server details, at the same time it also defaults the 'outgoing (SMTP) mail server' to 'use the same username and password for sending email' IN-SPITE of the fact that I have now set this up 15 times and saved it with a different user name and password!! AGHHH!
So, it's very unreliable in retrieving emails (over wifi or 3G or GPRS) and the email account settings need re-setting up every time I access the account settings to check why they are not working...again.
I am very quickly losing faith in this bit of tech, this is my second HD2 handset and it's freezing and crashing more in a few days that my old 3G did in a year. So frustrating!
Does anyone have any idea what's up with the email issue?
Cheers.
Yep, I've seen the first problem you have, where part of the username (more specifically, everything from the ampersand onwards) are truncated. This, and presumably the other problems, seem to be down to the HTC email configuration program trying to be too clever. If you go to Pocket Outlook, by tapping on Inbox when you're on the email Sense tab, then go to Menu -> Tools -> Options, and set your accounts up there, they stick. Annoying bug, but circumventable reasonably painlessly.

I have no Tools in Menu of the Inbox
I only got the account setup when in the sense tab and there i only get to the htc account settings. So how to I get to the outlook settings?
I also had this problem with it not automatically syncing my hotmail account as specified.
The newer 148 ROM seems to address this BUT introduces a number of irratating bugs along with it - depends if you can live with them or not....

Dont suppose anyone can help me with my weird email problem!

I have a Nexus One working fine on Orange.
I use it for my Blueyonder email account which is set up just the same as it was on my Hero.
The problem is this:
I get the email notification to say i have new emails, then i go into my emails and the emails are there. Then it starts to refresh my emails and then before my eyes there all disappear! It deletes them before i have chance to read them.
If i then go onto my pc to check my emails there are none there. So its obviously deleting them from the server.
Now i have checked double and triple checked the settings.Its definitely not set to delete from server or even delete when read.
Any help will be appreciated as i dont know what is going on and I'm losing important emails.
I take it you are using the native email client?
Maybe this is not the answer that you are looking for but I use the Gmail App instead of the native Email client. That way I get the benefit of Push without having to refresh.
If you are interested in doing the same then all you have to do is..on your PC:
Gmail > Settings > Accounts and Import > Check mail using POP3: > Add POP3 email account.
Then all blueyonder emails will be pushed to the Gmail App and you can set a label for them as well.
Yes i am. I`m just upset that it doesnt work just like the Hero did. That was spot on..
I`ll try your idea if no one comes up with a solution for me. Cheers.
I agree with Abbsta... you should to add your blueyonder account to gmail and receive all your blueyonder emails in gmail account.
it is much easier and being a google phone it works well with gmail accounts...
I did what you said and its spot on cheers..
Just an update. Spoke to HTC had no idea why it was doing but suggested i use imap instead of pop3.
It worked!
