Mail Notification - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I had a few problems with email yesterday that ended with me changing from IMAP to POP for my main email address. Whilst this is now working ok, I'm not getting notifications (sound, top bar or the little number on the envelope) of new email. Anyone have any ideas? The little number does re-appear after I've opened my email but it's nice to see if new email has arrived beforehand.
I've turned the settings on and off to see if that made any difference but no luck.
I'm currently running Modaco 3.0 but was having this problem yesterday after setting up the POP account under 2.8.
Thanks

you need to check the notication settings inside of the htc mail app. i had a similar problem (no sound, no vibrate) and eventually noticed that it was turned off there.
if you meant that than sorry, can't help ya...

No sorry I've already checked in there and unchecked everything then checked it all again no joy.
Thanks for trying to help though

Gmail issues with dcd's 2.3.1

I can't send any email. I had 1 message send on thursday somehow but nothing else gets out. My settings are configured properly but for some reason every time i try to send a message via email I always get the error saying i have no connection or my settings are wrong. anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?
edit: Solved. Turns out I had my gmail account settings added through an OEM I made and there was something wonky in it. I deleted the account from the phone and re-added the account manually (without allowing it to auto-detect settings) and it works fine now. I find it strange that the problem also affected other email accounts that were using smtp.gmail.com to send out but doesn't now... odd.

[Q] gmail keeps asking for password

I have had my hd2 for about 4 months now, and during this time it has worked fine with gmail, but in the past few days it keeps asking me to input the incoming mail server password every time i go to check my emails.
I have tried deleting the account and inputting the settings again, sometimes it works initially, but then asks for the password straight after. I have noticed that when i go to email / options, edit account setup and go through the stages, my password has always changed in there by itself, and even when i change it back to what it should be it changes again automatically.
I am not an expert with these things (obviously), but i have checked all the settings and can't find anything left to try.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks Charlie
Sorted out
I realised what setting i had wrong, it was the outgoing server authentication box that was ticked, since i have unchecked it everything is working fine again.
Only bothered posting this reply to my own post i the hope that this helps someone else.

[SOLVED] Random Notification Sound

I noticed this before I rooted my phone and it is starting to bug me. I have already check roaming notifications and all are off. What happens is at random times I get a doorbell sound from my phone and the notification light blinks. No notification are displayed, no gmail, no email, no text message. Does anyone have a clue what is causing this notification, and if so how do I disable it?

Do you have Yahoo Mail installed? You can tell it to not put notification in the toolbar but it'll still make the sound and flash the notification light. It's default sound kind of sounds like a doorbell. For me that mail account gets a lot of junk so I don't want to be notified I have mail unless I manually check. Overall I hate that app and with my new EVO I just use HTC's email application.
I get the same thing and it happens when I go into roam, no matter what roaming notification settings I turn off. I posted this issue in other forums and haven't had any luck. My next step is to install stock ROM and see if maybe there's just something on the software side screwed up.

You are correct it was yahoo mail. I had turned off notifications but did not turn off sound. Thanks for your help.
Glad I could help. I had the same exact issue on my OG evo after Yahoo updated that app.

[Q] Email Notifications/Sync

I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem. I've got my work's Google Apps account setup as an Exchange ActiveSync connection. This worked pretty good on my OG EVO but at the moment it's not working well at all with my new EVO 4G LTE.
I'm not getting the email notifications in my status bar even though its enabled and push notifications aren't working at all. They seem to be working well with the GMail application but not with the HTC mail app.
I've been messing around with it for some time now. Background:
Refresh on open is DISABLED.
Set to Push mail
A manual refresh works just fine.
All notifications are enabled (Email notifications, Notifcation sound, Notificaton vibrate).
Wifi is set to Best Wi-Fi performance.
I'm pulling like 10Mb/s on my Wifis but not getting notifications in the status bar or the vibrate/sound.
I DO get notifications in the widget (across that bottom bar) when there is email but it's not timely at all... usually until I manually refresh.
EDIT: I do get other notifications just fine (Facebook for example).
EDIT 2: Doesn't seem to matter if I'm on 3G or WiFi so I don't think that's the issue.
Im getting my notifications.
Open the HTC mail app.
when your on your email that you want to change click the 3 button Menu then click Settings
In Settings click on Notification Settings.
Make sure you have all 3 of them checked.
ON a side note my yahoo mail app and gmail app dont always notify me like they did on previous devices.
I have my HTC mail app set to check mail every 30 minutes for several key email accounts and at times thats the only notification i have that i even got mail.
Other times gmail app and yahooo mail app actually work like they should..
hope they fix it soon.

[Q] Gmail notifications not showing

As of last few weeks, I do not have any gmail notifications in notification bar.
I looked around and found many have same issue and some say to go into gmail settings on phone and turn a bunch of notifications for this and that on. So I did. Everything is turned on, no notifications.
Phone DOES receive new emails, as when I go into any of my gmail accounts on the phone, inbox will say "3 new" or whatever the number of new messages is.
But none will show in notification bar.
Suggestions? I just spent 45 minutes digging this out online and fooling with accounts settings on my phone. Every one says notifications turned on, labels and all that new bs turned on, etc. Sync is of course tuned on. Good connection. I mean - EVERYTHING says it should work on the phone.
No notifications. Just had another email pop on PC screen for one of my emails, in Thunderbird - phone is silent.
Thank you.
Any apps or mods that might be blocking notifications? Are your other notifications working properly?
If you're using Priority Inbox, you have to enable notifications for all other tabs besides Inbox. I kinda don't think that's your problem based on your description, but FYI anyway.
