Hi I am finding that my hotmail emails are not coming through when they should it is set up to check every 15 minutes but can take several hours to get emails. They are in my hotmail account and doing a manual refresh doesn't help. This is with wifi or good 3g. Gmail works instantly and everything else works fine internet/widgets etc.
Any advice is very much appreciated.

I just downloaded K-9, which seems to be a better client than the stock. Look in here: http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Internet-Utilities/Email/K9-Android-71552.shtml
Hi sorry just saw your reply, thanks for the suggestion I've tried it out and it's definitely better than the standard version but still doesn't work all the time. I don't suppose there is a way to forward my hotmail to another account as I suspect the problem is with hotmail

k9 mail is not compatible with free hotmail accounts. plus k9 mail always brings old emails as new emails.
try SEVEN beta, it is not available via market place. you need to google it.
This is a bit disappointing, im also having issues with my hotmail account which was working fine on my hero previously...

Instantly like in using exchange? Then a Rom there has MS exchange would most probably help
so it cant be done without changing roms basically
You can add your hotmail and yahoo accounts to your gmail, then it will push them automatically as they arrive. I have this setup and it works fine...

I too have this and it works great. Here is how to do it.
ttp://blogs.howtogeek.com/mysticgeek/2009/03/13/how-to-send-and-receive-hotmail-from-your-gmail-account/
You can try Seven; it's still in beta.
It offers almost real time email syncing(read/unread, folders) for any number of email addresses including yahoo, hotmail.
The only problem is that the application will keep you phone 100% awake
I hope they'll fix that soon...
I have it set to check every 5 mins but then when i look it hasn't checked. also it doesn't download the full email so i have to spend ages waiting for it to get it before i can read it.
This happens with my gmail and hotmail account is there any settings or aps i can get to resolve this issue as my blackberry did this with no problem.

Automatic e-mail polling doesn't work reliably. For me it sometimes works ok for couple of days and then it stops working. I haven't found any resolution. Use some other e-mail program from the market. At least K9 works very well and without a problem. These Samsung's own programs are so full of defects.
Hey thanks for the quick reply I will try out k9

I am having random issues receiving / syncing emails using our corporate IMAP server (MailEnable).
I can usually get the device to receive one download of message headers and then no new emails will be downloaded. I am running the stock mail client that comes with the phone. Anyone else having any issues?
VM
It seems to be the stock mail client. I used maildroid and everything works fine.

I have two different IMAP accounts setup on mine and have no problems (MobileMe & T-Online).
Have you tried removing the account and setting it back up?
Can you use Exchange instead?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I am using the stock mail client for IMAP account since three months. Everything works like charm. Maybe deleting the accounts or wiping data will help. Check your settings if u r missing out on anything.
Never used maildroid.

It was working initially and then it became sporatic and then just stopped. This is on three phones. I removed the accounts, deleted them on the mail server and still no go.
Anyway MailDroid FREE works like a champ. I liked it so much that I purchased it and it works FAST. I also installed it on my EVO, it works so much better than the stock app feature and performance wize.
So I'm new having just moved to Android from WM, and have configured all my accounts on the phone (that's 7 email accounts under Accounts), now my problem is simple I see no way to actual see existing messages in the inbox's, when I get a mail it shows up in notifications, but other than the gmail accounts (all 5 of which are available from the gmail app if separately), getting to the yahoo, msn or aol accounts (mostly used of IM, but mail does go to them some times) is just not easy. I really expected more from Android when it comes to email accounts. I've seen programs like Enhanced Email or Pure Messenger in the market place, but before I went and sent money, I thought I'd ask if there was something I'm missing built in or free?
On the same note I'm finding the Widgets that are provided for Google voice, are ugly and others say for email are simply not present at all. All of this is making me miss my HTC Sense interface on WM. However there I'd expect solutions for all of these issue, which is what I'm looking for.
Thanks,
ERIC
You'll find all your emails in the messaging app
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I know the app you are suggesting, but so far it always says no emails, yet the gmail app shows well over a hundred, so as far as I can tell its not working, also like to crash on me, so I do not think it is a solution.
Thanks,
ERIC
You can try K9-Mail for an e-mail client. Works amazing for me.

have you configured the email accounts in their respective sections in MESSAGING app as has already been suggested? the app works fine here, so if you are having problems, factory reset and try again. i dont really understand what the problem is. your question originally was how to access them, then when told how to access them you say it's not working. if its not working, start there and figure out WHY its not working......THAT would be your problem, wouldnt it?
not trying to be hostile or funny here, but if you love HTC Sense, you do know there are plenty of androids running HTC sense right?
or you can wait for a HTC Sense ROM
I have five accounts running with no problem. Try a factory reset like someone else suggested.

By default its only set to sync the past 3 days of mail. Go into account settings from the messaging app and bump it up to 30 days. 30 days is the max which is a bummer. On my past win mobile you could tell it to sync all mail.

Hi,
i think there might be some people who had just updated their SGS2 to the latest ICS might face same issue, so i started a thread here.
i will first illustrate what i encounter.
1. i have trying to sync my company email through SGS2 email app, through Microsoft Activesync option.
2. i key in the correct email address password, press on Micorsoft Activesync, the app will link me to key in domain info, email server info, SSL info, etc
3. sync option/setting and sync email/calendar/contacts by default, choose push method to sync.
4. click next and securities is enforced to my phone
5. now the sync is started.
sync of Contacts and Calendar works alright(i have not found any obvious problem so far)..
but i found problem in sync of email. the syncronization is slow(in both 3G and Wifi network). it always sync halfway(eg. choose to sync email for 1 day), and only have maybe 20 emails syncs and it will stop syncing. when press Refresh, it says "connection error(email name)".
i tried to send out email using this email app, it works...
this really puzzle me.. is it that i setup the email wrongly? or there is really some bug in this app??
Note: when i was using Gingerbread, the email app works perfectly, and sync using push method is almost the same pace as my laptop MS Outlook.
please dont flame on me. any suggestions/inputs/experience are welcome.
thanks.

from what i have read in the past few days, its a known issue and i think there isn't a fix for it yet.
Thanks for you comment. Seems like not many people discuss about this. No new thread about this. Hence I open a new thread.
Anyone has similar experience or had no problem at all please fell free to comment.

Happens with Facebook notifications too. But indeed the Sammy app does actually sync properly when Gmail doesn't.

Hi mokkimhong
I'm having the same issue. It works perfectly on WIFI, but as soon as a switch to Cellular it stops working.
I have recreated the Account from scratch using Cellular connection, then it works for a few minutes/hours. Suddenly it will just stop with the same error you are getting.
After that I'm forced to used WIFI only. Very frustrating!!!
Anyone have a fix, please post.
Thanks!
same thing here, even when i run ICS custom ROMs
there's already a thread about this, with more details on the problems and bugs. also for some users / exchange types, there seem to be some workarounds: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1545986

Ya I was in that boat... Set my retrieval size to 100kb and changed my push settings to 5min intervals and all seems fine now. Not the best I know but a decent work-around until this is sorted out.
Thanks heldchen
Will go check it out!
Sucked!!!
Hi,
I am also facing the same issues (same device and same os). Please tell some solution or better alternative free apps which i can use instead to ms active sync.
Advance Thanks ...

Hey guys,
There is solution for that active sync problem, just try setting "Size to retrieve emails = 100 kb". Its working for me ...
hi guys, just realised this problem with my SGS II. Running on ICS 4.0.3 and push with full email retrieval isn't working on stock Gmail...
For now sync manually, however noticed that Calendar and Contacts are ok...
I have had the same problem. I'm using ICS 4.0.3 in a Samsung Galaxy 2
Since I'm updated to ICS, I've lost my corporate mails (gmail worked fine).
I've deleted and re-created my account several times. Yesterday, I realized that one more day had been added to my email's list. Current setup established 2 weeks sync and my retrieval size to 100kb
What I did was to set my retrieval size to Total and reduce the sync to only three days. Ta daaaaaaaaaaa. It has been working for two complete days now.
Hope this helps
Best
