I installed Enhance Email from the market. It gave me the functions needed to do batch deletes, batch moves, etc with the "select all" option. Its by QuantumSolutions. There should be a trial version on their web site if not a free version in the market.
Hi Rico,
THank you for the reply and recommendation. Seems like you had to buy another app to enhance the current limitations in the stock email app in the android platform. My problem is my trash folder shows i have 7 undeleted emails inside but when i open it there is nothing inside. Its really annoying and frustrating that the stock email in the Dell 5 is unable to do even simple functions like bulk delete or move or transfer. In my case , i don't have that many emails on the Dell as i clean up the trash folder every day but I cannot understand why these 7 emails can remain hidden in the folder and i am unable to delete it. Its weird. Since the emails are hidden i'm not sure even if the Enhance Mail can delete these hidden emails. Appreciate any help anyone can give to solve my problem.
Cheers.
Hi Herojam
have you logged on at the client side and erased the emails from the trash bin, then perhaps remove the account from the streak and reinstalling? Could just be a minor glitch where reloading the account may clear it upA?
Hi Rico,
Yes i managed to clear the hidden emails by deleting and removing the account and then recreating the account again. The hidden emails have gone. Thank you for the tip.
Looks like there was a glitch as you mentioned.
Cheers.

Great, sometimes that happens. The android environment is really nice. Like itover windows mobile for sure. Even though we get the basic layers of functionality, thats the beauty of it, it allows you to add on apps, etc that makes your android unique. The enhance email is just one of various ways you can manage emails and multi accounts.

I had this same problem with my HD2 and never found a solution i thought this would've been resolved with the GS2 unless im doing something wrong here,basically when i click on my Gmail app and delete messages and later on that evening on my laptop not all the messages are deleted, with my HD2 none of them used to delete when i tried doing it on the phone yet when i delete them on my laptop they delete ok, with the GS2 i deleted 30+ emails earlier ive just checked my laptop and 12 of the same emails i "deleted" are still there, does anyone know what's going on here?
Also why do i always have to "click to view pictures" on the Gmail app?
Is anyone else having this problem with the Gmail app?
Damn im amazed im the only one having this problem usually there's at least a couple of people in the XDA community with a similar issue, it's a bit annoying having to delete emails again,and also having to click on "show pictures" in order to view the images is a bit annoying too.
I don't delete, but I do label every email, and then archive. I quite often find messages re-appear after archiving, showing as unread, even though no new messages have appeared inside the thread.
This occurred on my old Nokia 5800, it actually seems to happen less on my SGS2.
Thanks for your response, i would just like to be able to delete the emails after ive looked at them on my phone and not have to delete them again on my laptop, sometimes the emails do delete out of 30 emails i deleted 2 days ago 12 were still there when i checked a few hours later that evening, yet this morning i deleted about 15 emails on my GS2 yet when i checked on my laptop they were still there showing as unread, i don'tu nderstand this.
Surely i cant be the only one having this issue?

I had the same problem with my HD2 running Android, on the HD2 forums last year someone posted a fix for this before but it only worked for some people and unfortunately i wasn't one of them.
I'm thinking will i ditch the Gmail app altogether and just use m.google.com in X-Xcope browser i have tried deleteing emails via m.google.com before and they do delete, the Gmail app though is handy and something i use a lot.
check your account settings. Make sure delete from server is activated/checked.

You don't have that option in the gmail app.
Does anyone know if i can create a shortcut for my Gmail on the phone i have the m.gmail.com saved in my browser (X-Scope) but i cant see any function for copying a shortcut to my main screen on phone, ive just deleted some emails in the m.gmail.com in X-Scope and checked Gmail on my laptop and the emails are gone so there's absolutely no doubt there is something amiss here with the Gmail app so im looking to delete it but id prefer to have a shortcut of Gmail on my phones main screen.
cheers
Also on the m.gmail.com you don't have to click on "show pictures" every time cos the pictures just show automatically.

Long-hold the homepage to add a shortcut (not an application) and it should give you the option of "bookmark".

cheers id forgotten about this, funnily enough when i do this it doesn't show me the bookmarks from X-Scope but from the stock browser which i don't use, im wondering why i cant see the bookmarks from X-Scope?
Anyway it also gives you the option for a "Gmail Label" shortcut but im not sure if this particular Gmail shortcut comes from the Gmail app which is no good to me, or m.gmail.com which is the one i want?
This Android Gmail app seriously needs improving like the Facebook one which is also crap
Set up Exchange e-mail with no problems and have been using it for a while.
Everything is working fine for all the generic folders (inbox, drafts, outbox, sent, trash, junk e-mail).
The other day I noticed that some of the sub-folders I have under my inbox do not appear on the Eris.
It's not consistent, some sub-folders under a folder appear, but others do not.
It seems like the mail client chooses sub-folders at random.
I see no option to select which sub-folders sync to the device either like in the gmail client. Has anyone figure out a way to make ALL subfolders in the inbox appear?
Not sure what the answer would be. All of my folders that are on my exchange server show up in my list. I do have a personal folder in Outlook that will not show up on my phone as it is not on the server. Sorry I'm not much help!
I know that in Touchdown, you can choose which folders you want to sync to your phone and such. I have stopped using the standard email app because it didn't have the ability to do message filtering (which I need for work when I'm on-call).
Sorry that this is one of those "I'm not really sure, but try this app instead" emails, but you might want to download the trial version of Touchdown and see if you like it. You can use the full features for 30 days before having to buy it. And I've seen it on the Amazon Appstore for as low as $7.99 (much better than the $19.99 normal price).

i finally got my relevant folders to sync. so i take it that you click on folders and inbox and see your subfolders?
if you long press a folder, you can change the sync options. all of mine were sent to manual.
Though i did read something recent that you may not get notification for emails received in your subfolder... not sure about that yet, because i just configured it a few minutes ago.
I'll let you know though.
Is there a way to replicate subfolders for a corporate active sync? Android is the only OS I know of that does not allow subfolder replication native to the APP. Touchdown you can do this, so I'm sure there's a way to make the default app do this. Just hate the idea of having to pay $20 for something that really should be built into the stock app.

Seems like most here don't have much experience with your problem, myself included.
Did some searching and found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-800472.html
Doesn't seem like there's any popular free alternatives (best bet will be k9 email for free, but not sure how well it will help your situation), but this will at least point you in the right direction and give you a few things to check out.
I know roadsync is half the cost of touchdown.

Not sure exactly what you mean.
My subfolders and their contents show up fine.
I do know that the emails that fall outside your sync date range will not show up, but that is not due to them being in a subfolder.
Now, if you have a client rule on Outlook that moves a message to a different folder, that may not work because your phone receives messages directly from Exchange, not your Outlook client. If your phone gets it first and you read it before Outlook gets it, Outlook may not process the rule, and thus the message may not move to the desired subfolder.
My phone using the default ROM rooted of course and using the standard email.apk shows all sub-folders on my inbox on both my corporate active-sync email as well as my home IMAP server.
Or are we missing what your asking for? Or like the previous person said do you have REALLY old email in there? If so just change your date range.
Also remember that some exchange servers "enforce date range max's" this is to put less load on their servers.
Here's what I'm trying to convey. I have several teams around the nation and have subfolders under my inbox for each team member. I have rules on the Exchange server that allows when someone to send me an email, the email goes righ to the right folder. On Blackberry, iPhone, and WM, I've been able to go into settings, tell it that I want it to 'push' email for those folders, so that when someone emails me and Exchange moves the folder for me automatically, I still know about it on my phone.
With the default email app on the Androids, I can go into my folders, but it's like a manual push. So if I want to see if I have any new email from one of the team members, I have to manually pick that folder and wait for it to sync. If I have new email, it shows up. If not, I just see the old stuff from the last time I synced it.
In Touchdown, you can pick which folders in replicate in settings. Anytime I get new email that is moved to those folders, I still get a notification that I have new email, can access the email instantly, and don't have to manually move the email to the appropriate folder. Does that clarify things a little better? Thanks.
My phone dialer has some contacts repeated literally 100 times. They are not that way in the Contacts app, just the phone. Just ran a dedupe app that did find some in my Contacts, but didn't touch the phone contacts list. I did not realize they are two different lists, which makes no sense.
Would appreciate a hint as to getting rid of all the dupes, and especially if there is something I can do to make the phone contacts and "regular" contacts the same database.
Use Google account to sync your contacts and remove them from your sim card/phone internal storage.
The stock dialer app does not store contacts. Are you sure you aren't looking at the call history?

Well, now I'm really confused. Ran a de-dupe app, following which my dialer Contacts was empty, but desktop Contacts fine. Now my desktop contacts do seem to be the same as the phone, though it has 29 instances of the same person, whom I never call. I have a Google account with Contacts, but it has some that are not on my phone and the other way around. Also, when I look at Google Contacts at Google.com the right side shows no duplicates, but the left side scrolls though dozens to a few hundred of the same entry.
So, phone and Google not syncing, and Thunderbird is totally different from them both. Sure would loke to get all three the same.

Maybe you were restoring contacts from a backup app causing one to show up then google synced the one that it had before making the total 2. Then it just went exponentially higher as it went on. As in it would go from 1 each to 2 each to 4 each to 8 each etc
Check you contacts in your Gmail account.i bet that's where all the duplicates are.
there are lots of free apps in the market to delete duplicate contacts.
please try 1 of them..
Hope helps

Dude read the thread he has used them multiple times
Sent from my GS4 running CM11 Kandy Kane
Google Contacts, Oh My
Dove back into this today. At Google, I don't have all that many duplicate contacts (though some posters report as many as 25K; up to 2K of the same contact), but have several thousand totally empty Contact Groups! The groups are actually a person's name, anywhere from 8 to 30 times. So their name is a group name, not really a contact, and that is what is showing up on my dialer Contacts list because not a one of them actually has a phone number.
Postings at Google and all over the internet *****ing about his since 2009. No prevention, no way to clean them out. All I can find is to delete the empty folders one at a tine (no mass delete, no way to tag multiple groups); 00 times would take forever, and I guess would have to repeat weekly.
I've tried all the merging / de-dupe stuff, and they are for duplicate contacts, not duplicate groups, unless someone knows an app that would. If I could batch delete them on my phone, perhaps that would also wipe them out at Google.
Resolved!
Found two fixes (but don't know about prevention or reoccurance). There is a popular utility that deletes all groups. The text at the site where available says that it deletes all groups, cannot skip any. So the first fix: download my one group with contacts to a CSV file, delete everything, then recreate the group, empty, and bring back the CSV data. However, I found that the utility did delete everything except the group "My Contacts", which seems to be the standard group, created by GMail, which was left untouched. So the utility deletes all customer-created groups, but not the one created by Google, which is what I wanted anyway.
So here is the utility: http://blog.scrappydog.com/2009/01/deleting-4000-gmail-groups-or-repairing.html
Thanks to all.
Fixed!
Thought I posted this, but doesn't seem to be showing up, so I want to close this out with a solution for others to find. If this is a duplicate, my apologies.
For customer created groups, 1) download to a CSV file, 2) run the utility found below to delete all custom groups, then 3) make the group again and copy back the CSV file.
Here is the utility: http://blog.scrappydog.com/2009/01/deleting-4000-gmail-groups-or-repairing.html
However I wanted to keep the Google standard My Contacts, so I did the above. But after running the utility I found that it does not touch the My Contacts group (I assume Google prevents it from every being deleted), so I did not need the CSV file, just the utility to get rid of my 600 empty groups.
Hi,
I have a Hotmail account and wandering if there's any way to get my other folders to sync same as inbox? On the stock email app for my Mate 10 pro I can't even add the folders and Gmail lets me add them but can't get them to sync like inbox (have to manually refresh).
Sounds minor but bugs the hell out of me, there must be a way without using a 3rd party app?
Cheers in advance.
Use the Outlook app from the Playstore. It really uses push notifications and not "check every 30 minutes" or something like that.
Hi,
I have 3 hotmails accounts synchronized on the stock app of my mate 10 pro with multiple folders.
You can select the folders you want to synchronize in the stock app (sorry, my phone is set in French): go to the three dots at the bottom of the app - parameters - select your Hotmail account - folders synchronization
Here you can select by folders how you want to sync them.
Hope this helps
PS : automatic push (real time notification) is working without any issue on the stock app.
Hi @freedamdam, thanks for your reply.
I don't have that option, do you definitely use stock email app? I have the normal folder screen on left showing inbox, sent, drafts, recycle bin, etc best t not my personally created folders? The 3 dots takes me into settings but nothing in there re folders.
Also, when you set up your Hotmail did you select Hotmail or use Microsoft exchange or other? Not sure if makes difference? Just don't understand why you can't view your folders!
Thanks
Wayne
Yes, I'm using stock app, no root or whatsoever, as I was also on my P9 with the exact same options for hotmail folders.
But I think you got it,m right, you have to setup your accounts as Microsoft exchange, not Hotmail, so as to get real time push and folders options I believe.
Let us know if this works.
Dam
OK thanks again for reply
Tried adding exchange account in settings but keep getting couldn't connect to server? Tried googling settings for exchange and tried couple but still get same error message.
I'm missing/not doing something obvious here can't for life of me see what!

Thnx for the tip. Added the account as an Exchange and there is the push option.
Any tips on how to set up as exchange? Mine either gets stuck "connecting to server" or "couldn't connect to server", tried using my email as domain, imap-mail.outlook.com as server and 993 as port but can't set it up.

Hey,
I don't remember exactly how I did but as far as I can recall, it was rather simple. But in the parameters, here is what I can see :
Server : m.hotmail.com
Port : 443
SSL/TLS
certificate : none
Hope this helps,
