I'm getting my mail fine on the HTC, but If I delete the message on the phone I'm not receiving it in my Outlook POP account. If I don't delete the message it will show up on the POP account. Any ideas??
This is my first Droid phone, been using winmo with out any issues before.

My friend has this phone with T-Mobile. The issue that he is seeing is that he can get his emails off the server and send them to the Trash. However, when he tries to delete the messages permanently from trash they disappear from his phone for a short time and then come back. So it would appear that the messages are deleted from his phone but not the server, so when the phone syncs with the server they reappear.
I told him about this site and he has searched for this issue with no luck. I have also searched and have decided to post this for assistance.
Thanks for any help you guys can give us on this.
Edit: I should mention that this is happening with his Comcast email, gmail works fine though.

He checked this and it does say delete from server when I delete from inbox.
the strange thing is that he switched from this to Never Delete it just went back to his inbox and then he went back in and it was still on "delete from server when I delete from inbox".
He tried again and they still do not delete.
Any other ideas?
email settings
He may need to log in to his email on his computer and see if it has a setting to keep mail on the server after it has been pulled using POP3 or IMAP. I have not used comcast email but that could be an issue.
I was having the same issue on my Nexus One. But to add on to it even when I marked messages as read they kept coming back as unread and was constantly sounding the new email notificatiion. I wiped and set everything up again and continued to have the same problem.
To resolve the issue I just set up to pull from my other yahoo POP accounts in gmail. Now I don't have the read items reaccuring. But I don't have the option now to delete from the yahoo server if I delete in gmail. But I guess I can live with that.
I guess the other email client still needs some fine tunning. But of course gmail works great. Was a little disspointed about this coming from a blackberry but the other pluses really outweighs this little stint.
I sent him your suggestions. He is going to try it soon. I will let you know what happens.
Thanks for all your help.
Comcast hsa an option in their settings to keep mail on server when downloading via POP. have him uncheck that setting in his comcast webmail. This will fix the problem
Hi
I get the sending.... hanging problem with the galaxy s built in gmail app.
clearing the cache doesn't work, and using the other email app wont attach video , it just says too big.
what are the good alternative email programs?
Cheers
Hi,
I'm using K-9 Mail via an IMAP Account and are fairly happy with it. Only one thing: Push-Mail via IMAP-Idle drains the Battery like Hell... but a 15 Minute poll is fair enough (shorter Intervals are also available).
And it is FOSS...
Bye

cheers K9 came up in a google search, it sounds good
I turn off sync with email and check it manually when i want to.
its more about sending an email and it actually getting there . where the gmail app fails .
I check my mail on my main computer, but use my phone to 'quick check' stuff. but if an app is a 'beast that takes ages to open' that would be a pain. I didn't think about battery life, (cheers for that). so many apps just run in the background on my galaxy s. as much as i love it, it is another crazy computer in my life .
is K9 a free app or advertising/donation?
also any other suggestions welcome too
Are you sure the gmail app is failing? If you've got your phone to manually sync, the email will never send. The gmail app does not send emails as per request, they are put in a queue and sent out only when the phone syncs. Try it now. Send an email and keep syncing disabled. Nothing happens. Hi options the. Choose refresh option and I will push through the queued emails. As for file size limit, I wouldn't know but I have added a total of 5.8mb in an email which sent fine.
Edit: re read your post. Use the gmail app and try what I said, it has no issues with file size like other **** apps.

K9 is free open source software without any kind of adds or something else.

i always use refresh to send the email with sync disabled
its a know issue
the file size issue is to do with the 'other' email program that came with my phone.
I've ruled both out as not fit for purpose.
but i don't want to try hundreds of apps so i thought a few good recommendations might help.
cheers anyway, but I'm giving up on the gmail app.
quick update:
I've tried K9
it had success sending video attachments (that were stuck on gmail app or cancelled on the other galaxy s email app)
the bad
when it set up, it took ages (i have 1000s of email on my gmail account. so it could just be that)
it doesn't seem to group the emails (like replies from forums etc) can i set the settings to do this?
the names like expunge and poll (empty trash and refresh)
it seems a bit slower than the gmail app? but i could just be me
i'm trying to get used to the scrolling left and right in messages.
the good
it showed the full message
it could send video attachments to gmail (is 25mb max for gmail)
it sent the items (unlike the gmail app)
it seems pretty equipped with options
looks ok
I'm still not sure
What else might i try?
ok
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S
I shoot 3 videos (all 3 are about 7mb)
Gmail can handle attachments up to 25MB
Gmail app always gets stuck on sending (with no warning to let you know its not sent)
MMS wont convert the files
Other Email app wont accept the file size
K9 sends them (which is a step forward)
but doesn't group messages by conversation
also it has the push always running (i don't know what push is)
and seems to always be checking my mail (I don't mind exploring the oddly named and confusing settings if its the program i am going to use)
also the built in gmail app shortens messages so replies from this forum wont display the link to the topic (pretty annoying) the other built in email app does display the link long enough to click.
I feel very frustrated.
I just wanted to send a couple of funny videos to my friend via any means.
And it feels like my Samsung Galaxy S is just completely against me doing this in any easy fashion
I might keep K9 but turn all the setting to check the email off and use it if i want to send a file.
how do i turn the check mail settings off on k9 (the options are confusing, confusingly named, and different depending on where you are in the program.
if i turn K9 off, and use it only occasionally will it take ages to open if i keep all my messages on the server?
Or is there a fourth email program:
that opens fast
groups the messages
sends attachments up to 25mb
Cheers
i tried Maildroid but he adds were annoying.
back to K9:
How do i stop K9 automatically checking mail?
and how do stop the k9 mail service app running constantly (i assume its the push thing)
I'm thinking of keeping the app on there to send files by email, and for links that don't show up properly like replies from this forum. but i don't want it spanking my battery or checking for emails
How do i set it up for "there when i need it"?
the options are confusing and have nonsense kind of names.
Cheers
Ok, Ive played and looked for a way to do this and i cant seem to get it? Does anyone else have more then one email in the email app, and if so how do you switch between email boxes? The only time i can look at a different box is when i get an email and the phone alerts me i have an email there?!
Press the menu button when you're in the e-mail application.. it should give you some options.

What's under folders? I'd expect your inbox to be there..
go to messaging instead and select the inbox you want.
while i'm new to android, i believe that the email app goes to your default account.

OMG thank you. I was getting so frustrated trying to figure out how to see all my email folders.
Yea...I did the same thing and couldnt figure it out for a little bit. Really pissed me off, but now I just have "Messaging" as an icon and i can select which email from there.
Hi guys.
When I first got my S4, I decided to use G-Mail like I normally do. I turned off the notifications for the stock E-Mail program on the device, and used G-Mail.
Now I want to switch back to the stock E-Mail app. However, I can't figure out how to get the notifications back on. I tried going into the settings on the program, but it looks like "E-Mail notifications" is checked, so it should be working.
I went to the App manager and checked out the info for Email under the "All" tab. The "Show Notifications" has a greyed out checkmark next to it. Not sure why it's not green, but shouldn't it still work? Not sure why it's not giving me notifications.
When you went to email settings, did you click on your email addy to get to the rest of the settings? Just asking.

Yes, I did. You know what though? I just got a notification for an Email. I guess I was just surprised that it took so long. Took about an hour, it seemed. I tested G-Mail and it seems like it takes 3-5 minutes at most to get a notification for an e-mail I changed the settings in the default Email program to sync every 15 minutes.. I'm thinking that should make the notifications come more often. I wish it had G-Mail speed though. Main reason I want to use the Samsung program is for the SmartScreen features. Hopefully there will be a G-Mail app w/ SmartScreen support soon.
the Gmail app will push emails down. The standard doesn't do that for gmail unless you set it up as an exchange account, and instead poll's the server at a set interval that you can select.

It would be nice if I could select 5 minutes, but the minimum is 15 minutes apparently. How would I set it up as an exchange account?
Add a new exchange account to sync with. Where it asks for server, use m.google.com. Your username / password are the same as normal. Thats all

Hmm I tried doing this but I'm getting a Setup could not finish message "Unable to connect to server". I tried to make an exchange account and it automatically chose m.google.com. I used my normal username/PW. Not sure what the deal is. Do I need some kind of certificate?

My friend has the same problem, he uses the stock android email app, there he has both his company email and gmail. He never gets notifications for emails, only when he manually enters the app, then it shows the new mails. If you find any solution please post it here so i can forward the info to him.

On the email app where it says security type for SMTP. If you're using a TLS type, try selecting STARTTLS (Accept all certificates) instead of just SSL/TLS option.
This solution worked for me.

Check the push frequency? Otherwise it may be on the end of your email provider. I know when I worked at 3M and tried to push emails to my phone, I got maybe 1/3rd of the emails. It really could just be the company :/

Simply go into settings (besides refresh icon, right corner), then click on your email name and then under DATA USAGE, change the INBOX CHECK FREQUENCY according to your desired option.
