[Q] Email problem - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Email appears to download but does not show up on the phone - any ideas. Thanks in advance.

Can you be more specific?
When you say the email appears to download. Do you mean that you see the message headers but not the full email so that you have to select download full message. And the phone shows a dialog all that it will be shown after net time you synch/recieve email?
If so, you can stop the mail synch process and goto email => menu => send/recieve. If right the email will be downloaden and shown

Email - how to dl all messages from server?

Email - how to dl all messages from server? I just got a few from last week
Thx
I ve found this solution:
1. Select eMail in the HD2 Start Menu.
2. Select your mail account (without opening the mail, if you open the mail, simply press back arrow on hardware keys, and then reselect eMail form Start Menu.
This will ensure Mail Account is highlighted.
3. Select Menu > options
4. Tap the account to change settings
5. Select Send/Receive Schedule
6. Select frequency and Download options eg past 3 days, 5, 7, 30, ALL
Download size for mail and attachments also available.
This does not appear to be available for Hotmail account!
Hope this helps.
BUT - it doesnt work ( I m using CHT mayby thats why)
Anyway, after point 2 from above, I got only "Lock" in the left bottom corner, no "3. Select Menu > options"
For Hotmail you can add from 15,000 to 30,000 characters.
just go to the Email in the Options.

[Q] Login issues with email?

Hi,
I have a rooted NC. I fired up the email program to retrieve my Yahoo email and it prompted me to put in my email address and password. When I clicked "Next", the Nook looks like it tried to setup the email, but then came back and said "Bad username or password". I triple checked both and even logged in via Web Browser successfully, but couldn't via email. I also tried the manual configuration for Yahoo, but it still didn't work.
Has anyone seen this and know a solution?
Thanks!!!
Found most of this on another forum and tweaked them a bit to work for me:
1. Press the E-Mail icon (the default Android E-Mail application).
2. Enter your Yahoo E-Mail address and password.
3. Press “Manual Setup” in the lower left hand corner.
4. For “Incoming Server Settings” set the IMAP server to “imap.mail.yahoo.com” and the Port to 993 with SSL Security.
5. For “Outgoing Server Settings” set the SMTP Server to “smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com” and the Port to 587 with no security.
6. Check “Require sign-in” and press Next.
7. Select how often your device will check for Email, and choose default options.
8. Give the account a name and set your display name for outgoing messages.
This should get it working for you.
Excellent!!! That did the trick. Thank you very much for the help biggins!!!
No problem. Glad I could help.
This works for me too. Thanks a bunch!
I'm having issues logging into my Google accoutn after having upgraded my Nook to CM7, repeatedly getting the message that my username and password don't match ....
Figured it out....had to go for some special password because of the 2 step identification that google has...

Dell Streak 5: Can I "Lock" an Email to keep it from being deleted?

On the Dell Streak 5 (version 2.2); you can long-press on a "text message" and the menu option "LOCK" appears, setting a text so that you can not mistakenly delete it until you 'unlock' the text.
Can we do this also to an email? How can I 'lock' an email so that it doesnt get deleted from my phone? Is this possible?
i just star it in my g-mail and it keeps it stored

I think that will work, thanks.
rico android (aka rico ATT)
Update: starred a few emails and still able to delete them even while starred. I am looking for a way to "lock" an email jjst like the text messaging feature where, if you try to delete it you cant until removing the lock status.
..."is there an app for that?"...
Stilll able to delete a starred email without warning and no lock feature to prevent an email from being erased.
Is there a tool/app available that can lock an email and prevent them from being deleted?
Also, i have 187 deleted emails in my trash folder and am scrolling thru selecting one at a time (blue check box) then clicking the delete button at the bottom. Is there a way to "select all" then delete? I do see a "deselect or uncheck all" but do not see a "select all" option.
This is reference to additional email accounts , excluding the GMail account that I had to register with the phone for gmail syncing.

[Q] Open email graphics automatically

I have my live.com email account setup on the GT 10.1, and it has been working very well, both before and after the TW update.
However, for every email I receive with embedded graphics, I have to hit the button "show pictures" in order to see the email as it was intended. After the TW update, I have to hit the button "show more details" to get the full email. Most of the email I get is fairly rich these days, so it is a PITA to have to have to hit all these extra buttons when scanning my email. Is there any way to set up Mail so that it automatically shows all the graphics when the message is opened?
looking for the same thing
i tried to change the size of the file to download but no luck

Repeat email notifications

Need to find some way to DISABLE repeating email notifications...as in I keep getting repeated "new" email notifications for the same email until another, newer email comes in...I've even got notifications clicked off in the settings menu and I am still getting notifications.
Any ideas? Running Clean ROM right now, but it was happening on Novella Dos as well...one of the reasons I switched over to CR...it is quite maddening.
Thanks in advance!

Go into your email, go to settings, and Uncheck "Email Notifications" I am running AOSP Email, but it should be similar.

thats the problem. POP3 will show a notification on any unread email. also, if you r deleting the email from the phone, you may not be deleting it from the server. POP3 gives you the option to change this in the incoming server settings. when inside the incoming server settings, you will see at the bottom that there is an option that says what the phone should do when you delete an email from the phone. if you delete it from the phone only, the email will still exist on the server. this will cause multiple notifications of the same email, even if it is marked as read.
a couple solutions:
1: if you ARE NOT deleting the emails and getting duplicate notifications, switch the account to an IMAP config. (every email host i have had gives you both options: IMAP or POP3)
2: if you ARE deleting the emails and the Incoming server setting is set to "Delete email from server: Never", you will need to change that to "When i delete from inbox". otherwise, you will have to deal with duplicate notifications. NOTE: IF YOU DELETE THE EMAIL OFF OF THE SERVER, ANY OTHER PLACE THE EMAIL IS STORED (I.E.: HOME COMPUTER, TABLET, ETC.) WILL ALSO DELETE OFF OF THOSE DEVICES.
you should also know that when deleting an email with an IMAP config will automatically delete it off of the server. IMAP will also show when you have viewed or replied to an email across all devices that are signed into the same email address as IMAP.

Thanks for the detailed response...I don't know what to say really; the problem has only happened recently, say last few weeks. I finally got fed up with it and sought a resolution.
I switch roms frequently, so I have to set up accounts frequently enough to know what is checked and my settings are default, always the same. So why the change? I guarantee I could power up my Rezound and the settings would be the same...and I never had this problem before.
Doesn't matter if the emails are read or not. Right now I have notifications off and the problem still is occurring. If I delete an email then I'm still notified for the next newest.
And last but not least, the problem has followed me across different roms. Thought it was specific to one as I had used that rom for several weeks. So maybe it is something server side. Can't configure Knology(now WOW) for IMAP, I tried. Besides, I refuse to check 'delete from server' because there are emails I need to keep that need attention from my home PC. I can change sync settings to longer periods or off, but that is not really feasible either.
So bottom line is, I just don't get it.
**Update** Not sure exactly what fixed it as I did multiple things in a short period, but the problem no longer exists. Unticked, rebooted, reticked notifications and all is good. Also loaded a different rom from bachup, but that was before I did above steps. Who knows??:fingers-crossed:
