Im having trouble with these dang mail apps.
First: the mail app that comes with the thunderbolt, I cant forward a 7 mb attached file. Says file too large to attach. Ive gone thru all the settings I can find and nowhere can I find the setting I need to allow as big a friggin attachment as I want to attach. Anyone out there that can point me in right direction?
So Ive been playing with mail apps to find an app that doesnt restrict me. So the last month Ive been playing with K-9. The app is ok i guess, but when I try to forward an email, I dont get an option to scroll thru all my contacts and pick one! You have to have all your contacts email memorized or something cause it doesnt allow picking from conacts via People app.
Anyone know of a perfect email app? Or if im doing something wrong, can help a brother out. Thanks.

Hey all,
I don't know if any of you have encountered this problem yet but I decided to download the Facebook for Windows Mobile App from the Marketplace and I logged in and everything worked fine untill I opened the app up later on to find it will not update, I tried on WIFI and 3G etc Nothing happens it starts to refresh (eg the rotating loading icon appeared) and then stops and it doesn't actually refresh.
Is there a way to go back to the original app? or is it all around better to use the Opera web version?
Thanks very much for your time!

I'm running Dutty CDLC v15 and it's only started happening since yesterday. Maybe something wrong with Facebook? It works if you log out and log back in again though.
I uninstalled and reinstalled to see if it would work and it did, didn't think to try logging out to be honest ha-ha I think it may have something to do with the program. I will try and see what either Facebook or Microsoft says and hope they make a new update that actually works.
Thanks for the reply =]
Facebook itself is having problems. Been reading all over Twitter, people saying Facebook is down. Don't know how the site is,but the app definitely isn't working for me.
I posted about this over in general, was told the same thing, logging in and out seems to work but you have to log in and out every time you want to update.....
its a facebook side error though that's the bottom line......

HMM .. I found a different facebook APP called XDA FACEBOOK .. it doesnt do all the things the regular facebook app does and doesnt show photos yet but it DOES refresh so I wonder whats going on...
hmmm that weird.... maybe the fb app has gone the same way as the myspace app...... right down the plughole......
Same thing's happened to me. Anyone got a reason as to why? Or is it just related to the facebook crash?
I did a hard reset and installed FB first...Refresh works...after SPB backup (Restore)...didn´t Refresh...i guess it´s no FB and no Marketplace problem...
Here´s the solution...
Delete the "Facebook" and "FacebookInfo" files in the main dir of your mobile...start Facebook, login again...and it works...

only seems to work once.
then it's back to the 'no refresh' issue
Experiencing the same issue here, looking forward to a solution for this one.
Yeah I have not been able to get facebook to connect on my HD2 for a week now. I can still upload photos to facebook via the uploader, just cant update the app info... anyone know and app that works lol
....same here no updates possible since few days :-(
can anyone confirm if this advice is of any help?...
have you ever changed your facebook email address? check that the contact address in account settings matches your new email. i found that though i could login with my new email the old email address was still showing as contact address. i also reinstalled the facebook app so could also have been that which started it working again for me.
In my case I'm having problems logging in.
Regardless if I tick the "remember settings" square it keeps asking me to re-login with all of my credentials even after I hadn't shut off the phone... which didn't happen when I had the old Facebook Mobile version...

Hi, I'm the developer of the XDAFacebook app, and I can say that yes FB was down last week. The reason my app still worked was because the error that was breaking everyone had an easy work-around and I was able to release an update that worked.
I would say if you are not happy with the Microsoft app, please check mine out. It is still in early beta stages but will quickly become a full mobile client. Any feedback would be wonderful!

+1 same problem
I don't think we'll EVER see a fix. This app was developed by MS & not facebook, like on Android or Apple. So I think it's safe to say MS has abandoned it in favor of their WP7 facebook app.
I've been using joe coolish's xda facebook app. It works great, just doesn't have all the bells & whistles yet, but will.
Other than that I do use tweetdeck & the facebook app when I switch over to android, both of those are good, especially tweetdeck, you can update twitter, facebook, foursqaure & more all at once.
Gmail is acting kind of funky on this phone...
Every now and then Ill take a look at the Gmail account on my phone and Ill see:
Inbox (1)
But all my emails have been marked read on the phone. So Ill log in on a desktop, and see that one of my e-mails is unread, even though I just marked it read on my phone.
Sometimes Ill get a zero unread count in my app, login on a desktop and see that Ive got 3 or more that were never marked read.
Gmail used to be the best email experience out there on a mobile device, in my opinion. But its now gotten to the point where this bug plagues just about every email I receive.
Am I the only one? Is there even any action I take to prevent this?
Sounds like a syncing issue. Everything works fine for me. Are you on a custom ROM?
Stock rooted.
I seem to remember having the same issue on my G1 and the myTouch Slide, though not to this gravity. I guess it must have something to do with my account itself, but I would really hope not. Starting over with a new Gmail isnt the most elegant solution...
I'm getting this today too. Frustrating.
my wife's Vibrant can't even sync with gmail since yesterday
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 delete emails a lot using the Gmail app and I've never noticed this problem - weird.

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
OK, so this happened on my Infuse too dont know if its an android thing? But I delete emails and then they pop up new again right after? Is there something I can do to prevent this? It's driving me crazy! I have my own pop email from my website I tried to run it as IMAP too , but that didnt help.
Well, I searched the forums first, and the exact question I have is here, still unanswered. Hopefully this does not get me on anyone's bad side, but figured it was worth one more shot.
My question is pretty basic. I am on the HTC EVO 4G LTE, and I prefer to use the stock mail app instead of the specific gmail app, primarily because I use the "contacts" feature a lot, and like to be able to email people from that contact profile.
Whenever I send something to the trash from my EVO, it gets sorted into a label in (gmail on my desktop PC) called "IMAP/Trash". I want simply for this to go directly into my trash, and not be labeled/sorted separately. That's my whole question- is there a way to do this? With sent/trash/whatever, I'd like it not to get sorted into separate IMAP labels in gmail when I access it via my web browser.
I realize that this works seamlessly when using the gmail app on my EVO, but I'd prefer to use the generic email app. I do not see any setting which allows me to configure this on my phone, and I have tried every available option I can find in my gmail settings, but to no avail.
I would hugely enormously appreciate any help anyone might be able to give me.
Thanks in advance.
Have you looked through the settings while logged in from a browser? There may be something there to let you change where it goes.
Instead of IMAP setting, setup your gmail as exchange. Do a google search for the process. Then you'll have push email and all your folders should match. Hope this helps. Btw gmail searches my contact list? Not sure why yours can't. Good luck!

I don't know if you found an answer, but I was able to fix it by going to the desktop Gmail settings, "Labels" tab > then check the "Show in IMAP" for Sent mail, Drafts & Trash. Then removed the unwanted Labels (IMAP/Trash, IMAP/Sent & IMAP/Draft).
