Hi all, long time listener, first time caller..
I have a US t-mo HD2 using cookie energy 23127 Aug 28. I use gmail exchange active sync for mail, contacts and calendar, and have since I got the phone. Today, after I noticed I got priority folders in gmail, I no longer get "internet pictures blocked" warning, only the "tap to scroll right" option. There are image placeholders in the messages. I've changed nothing on my phone, and emails from the past (like even earlier today) still offer "internet pictures blocked" and let me get the pictures, just not on new mails since I got priority folders.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
update: turned off email push and set it up as imap, issue sorta resolved. I miss push mail though.

Hello,
I only have one email account set up to sync email. It is my MS Exchange account. I have it set for push.
Yet for some reason the icon on my home screen is almost always showing an incorrect number of new messages. If I open up outlook - then it seems to sync - not always synced even during key work hours - 8-8 (when I have it set for push).
I'm not sure if this is a glitch with the 3D or android something I'm doing wrong or if there is a work around. I know 3 other people with the 3D and they all have the same issue.
I'm new to android so I'll give you what info I think might be important.
I have both background and autosync checked.
I have mail, contacts, calendar, update when opened checked. I have update schedule set for push between 8-8 every day.
I tried making both peak and off hours push - unfortunately that doesn't help either.
Weird, I've been using my gmail account on exchange (I like the HTC Mail application better than the gmail one) and have yet to have any issues. Hope you get it resolved since my gmail is working fine though I'm thinking it might be something on the ms exchange server's end.

You use your gmail account on exchange? You forward your gmail email to microsoft exchange? Then have your business exchange server forwad to the 3D instead of just going direct from gmail to your 3D mail app?
I have multiple email accounts, most are gmail. I chose to access them through exchange because that allows me to use HTC mail, which has a unified mail box.
Regarding your initial problem, how many aspects of your email account are you syncing. For example, is it Inbox only or do you also sync outbox, sent, trash, deleted, etc. If you do the latter, I have noticed that the new mail count is off, because the app, after initial set up at least, will count mail synced in other folders that have at, some point be marked unread.
Going through the various folders and marking everything as read fixed the problem for me.
Hope this helps.

I am confused by those saying you are using exchange - I'm talking about using an MS Exchange SERVER. Are you sending your gmail to a microsoft exchange SERVER? I'm not talking about a gmail server or hotmail server but an actual server set up for a company that runs Microsoft Exchange. A server that when you access it from the web it says Microsoft Outlook Web Access or Microsoft Web App- Connected to Microsoft Exchange
I have only one email account I'm syncing which is on an MS exchange server. The only folders I sync are inbox and sent items. The only unread mail items I'll ever have on the server are items in my inbox. I'd like to have the icont on the home screen for mail messages show me the number of unread messages I have which are on an MS exchange email server (not forwarded from gmail or hotmail). I know other people using exchange servers that also have the incorrect number of items showing on their EVO 3D. My guess is people using gmail (direct from gmail servers) won't have this issue so I'm asking people who use MS Exchange servers. WM devices, WP7 devices and iphones from the same exchange servers show the correct number of messages.
i think it has something to do with the number of days you sync.
in outlook, mark all of your email as read (if you can do this).
hit refresh on your phone. it should say 0 unread for both.
from here you can figure out what is going on.
Thanks, I should be clear. It can be temporarily correct. FOr example if I open email on the phone and it syncs, and I open emails etc and go back to the home page and it shows no new messages which is correct.
But if I get a new email, then I open it on my computer and delete it. Hours later it will still show 1 new message on my home screen on the phone. I'd expect that sort of half assed issue if I was using pop but this appears to be something not implemented with sense or android.
That is normal for Android. Your phone notification will still show that you haven't read the e-mail from Exchange until you open e-mail on the phone and it refreshes. Annoying, I know, but it's like the notification function just isn't integrated as well as it should be.

Ok, first off, I don't have a 3D. I've got a Sensation on Tmo but I think they're pretty much the same phone.
I also had a few glitches when I tried out the Android Exchange client. But mainly I didn't like the draconian way it implemented my company's security policies and I said "screw it". I found a different client called Touchdown and gave it a whirl. I liked it so eventually I bought it. I'm not used to paying quite that much for an app when most of the others I use are cheap or free. But I use it a *lot* and it works very well. It's *much* better than the Android client imho.

Thanks for letting me know this is normal for Android. I hope they fix it as it is one of my ONLY major issue with Android. This is my first Android phone and I like Android a lot. The phone as a phone sucks but that isn't Android's fault.
I have two hotmail and one Gmail accounts set up in the HTC mail app. I set them up as generic POP3/IMAP accounts (meaning, I didn't click on the preset for hotmail/gmail when first creating the accounts). I set the up exactly the same as I always have on my Incredible.
I have them all set to update every two hours, however, only the first account (both the one created first and the one selected as primary), will actually sync automatically. The other two only sync when I manually prompt it.
I have deleted and re-set up the accounts multiple times, and even did a factory reset of the phone just in case I broke it somehow, but I get the same results. Is anyone else setting up multiple POP/IMAP accounts and having this issue?
I have also noticed that often, the led doesn't stop blinking after I check the email.... and the mail icon on my home screen will stop showing an unread number when I open it even if I don't open the unread mail....
I use the Hotmail app from the market. Notifies me as soon as I get an email. There is also a Gmail app if you need it.

I've had the notification light blinking with nothing pending to check with other apps, notably Talk. It seems that if I'm in the app when a new message comes in, so I read it immediately, and there's nothing in the notification bar, it will turn the blinky light on and not turn it off until you exit out and read it again. Not really a huge issue, if you know to look for it. What is more of an issue, however, is when the light never goes on when I have an unread message, and I have to check the screen manually. Had that same problem from time to time on my Incredible running a Sense 3.5 ROM, so I wonder if that's just a problem with the apps that come with the new Sense.
I can't stand the Gmail or hotmail apps. The hotmail app doesn't get emails past 30 days and the Gmail app, to me, is a mess. More than that, I really like having the unified inbox of the HTC mail app.

I have a similar issue. I had a Thunderbolt and both email (the Native sense combined box) and the GMail client synced fine. I switched to the Rezound. Here is what I have found. If I use the Gmail client everything syncs with the gmail servers but the native sense combined box does not update as read or deleted. If I use the native client it all syncs correctly, including the Gmail client. Here is the problem. If I use the computer or my tablet, the email on the the Rezound client does not update as read or deleted. I know I can remove the account form the HTC/Android client, but I shouldn't have to and I like the combined in box. I don't know if this is a flaw in this version of Android 2.3.4 or something is set up wrong. I am using IMAP and have not changed any online settings since switching from the Thunderbolt.
I never found a solution, so instead I came up with a workaround. I just put the sync all widget on my home screen. Now, whenever I get new email in my primary account, which doses update automatically, I am in the habit to hit.the sync all widget. Not the best solution but it's all I could think of barring going with like k-9 mail or something.
Yes, had a problem initially, but now....
Bought my phone on opening day, and immediately noticed a problem with the stock email program (not syncing, only displaying 5 email accounts). Initially added 10 various email accounts (3 pop, 3 yahoo, 2 gmail, 1 hotmail and 1 aol), but only 5 would show up on the display, so I tried adding the missing accounts again and got a message saying that the account was already setup (weird). Now all of a sudden, in the last couple of days, all 10 email accounts are now visible. I suspect that HTC might be pushing software updates/fixes to correct some of the initial bugs in the OS.
Anyone else having problems getting the native HTC email to sync correctly? I have an Exchange account and 3 IMAP accounts and the IMAP accounts will not sync on a regular basis. I loaded up Enhanced Email and it works fine.
I checked as many setting as I could and all appears to be set correctly: wireless networks all set to never sleep, background data and auto-sync both checked
I can keep using Enhanced Email but it's aggravating that I can't get the HTC app to work correctly.
Anyone have any ideas?
I figured it out. When I first got the phone and went through the setup I got a 504 gateway error. I also got there 504 gateway error when initially trying to set up my email accounts. Called customer service and they said to skip out of the setup and do everything manually. She said there was a glitch in the software and that the Gmail and Yahoo account setups didn't work and that all accounts needed to be set up through the IMAP process. Needless to say this is what was causing my problem.
To correct the email sync issue I deleted all of my accounts and set them up through the Gmail and Yahoo account set up process and all appears to be working now.
I am having the same problem so I just tried this option of setting up my yahoo accounts through the set up process. It does appear to receive email much faster but there are some downsides.
My Yahoo inbox (on the website) and the inbox on my Rezound are not completely synced now. The app has the option of downloading up to 30 days of email. Mail older than 30 days doesn't show up on the phone even if it's in your inbox on the website. Conversely, email that I deleted or moved from my inbox some time ago has now magically reappeared on my phone.
Another problem is that my mail folders that I set up on the website do not appear on the Rezound mail app anymore.
Seems the negatives are too numerous to have better syncing. I'm switching back to the manual setup as all the problems I mentioned above are not there and I'll just put up with poor syncing for now.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Using the samsung email app .In the email settings for the account I have set the "Recent Messages" to 25 (the same thing happens if I set it to any other number except "total").* When I receive a new email & delete it, the 26th email moves back up to 25th & the mail app brings it in as a new unread email again.My htc desire allowed me to set it by number of days old, but I don't see this as an option on the S3.**I really don't want to set it to "Total" & have every email that I've ever received but haven't deleted show up on my*phone.
It's driving me nuts.
Thanks
It's happening on my mate's s3 too. Anyone else?
Is it deleted on your email account as well? I had this issue when I got my S3, too.
There's an option within the mail app, where you can toggle to delete those mails from your email account, when you delete them inside the app.
The default setting on my S3 was, that it's only deleted inside the app, but not from my mail.
I hope this helps.
Settings>App manager>email app>clear cache

S4 Old Emails Return, Sync
Hello,
I have seen that many, many folks are having problems with this. Posts all over the place on android central and many other places.
I have had this problem intermittently over time and have tried different things.
In the past, I just deleted the old emails and typically no more problem for some time.
Recently the problem returned.
Deleting the old emails did not get rid of them. Essentially, you see emails pop up as new at the bottom of your S4 android email box. They are old emails.
I tried the following.
Deleting old emails, older emails just show up as new, unread.
Deleting the actual emails in your box is not good if you want to keep them. If you use this method you'd have to delete them all. I don't want this.
Delete all emails from your pop3 email and set your android mail to delete from server. I don't want this. I want to keep them on the server. I should be able to.
Set the android email to 25, didn't help. Set the android email to total and then delete or move them to trash, didn't help.
Delete and reconfigure the email box. Didn't work.
I am currently trying a fix for my comcast email I have always used pop3 style setup on the stock android email setup. Today I deleted my email box and reconfigured it as IMAP and set the security as SSL. It seems to work, but I will repost if it doesn't . Setting to TSL, the mail wouldn't load. Setting to no security with IMAP, wouldn't load an email. SSL seems to be the only way.
Good luck!
Recently I set up my work POP3 email address on my Nexus 5 on 4.4.2 in the stock email app. I set it to never delete email from the server, as I use Thunderbird at work and want ALL my email there. This seem to work fine until I went away for a few days. I received emails on the phone just fine. When I got back to work I opened Thunderbird and it found no new email on the server. I thought this was strange. On checking my phone, those emails I had received over the few days had disappeared - not in inbox where I left the, not in trash folder. I double checked my POP3 server again - not there either. Somehow I had lost all these emails without ever deleting them on my phone, or receiving them into Thunderbird (which is set to delete emails from the server on receiving them). Last week I went away again, and received lots of emails through the week on my phone, most I did not read and left in my inbox - there were probably 40 or so emails on my phone. This morning I come in, open Thunderbird expecting all my emails from the week to come in and nothing - just two emails from yesterday. Open my phone - NOTHING, just the same two emails from yesterday. An entire weeks worth of email has disappeared from my phone and the server (even though the phone has been set to NEVER delete from server).
Anyone got any idea what is causing this? I have now turned off sync because I can't afford to lose mass emails like this, driving me crazy.
TIA,
Ben
