Truncation of Gmail emails on S II - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi experts,
Another question from a novice
My friend has a SII. Whenever she sends Gmail emails from her SII, the email is truncated i.e, the old emails in the same conversation are deleted. If she sends Gmail emails from her laptop, the entire chain is present.
Is this a Gmail 'feature' or SII 'feature' ?
Is there a setting which will allow the entire conversation to be sent when she uses her Gmail via the SII ?
Its pretty important that the entire conversation be sent ... if, not possible, then she has to quit sending Gmail emails from her SII.
Thanx.
cheers,
- manish

S II has got nothing to do here, Gmail Android app does this on its own. And I am with you....this is very annoying.

[Q] Forwarding emails - blank on receipt

When I forward emails from my phone the email text that I am forwarding is not visible to the recipient.
If I try to view on my phone a forwarded message is not visible at all, if I view in Outlook I can view the forwarded email as a conversation, but other people that I have forwarded emails to have not been able to see them at all.
Thanks for any suggestions to sort this out.
..same problem here. Forwarding an email from my premium account leads to an empty mail. Any other account works fine.
I know 5 people with an S2 and the same issue. Anyone here with the same experience or even better a solution?
best
Can you guys send an email? Seems an outgoing server setting problem!
Sent from GT-I9100
Sending emails is fine, the problem is only with forwarding them. I've searched on Google and it seems to be a common problem on Android phones.
I rang Samsung who originally told me to delete all my email accounts and reinstate them and then told me that upgrading to the latest firmware would resolve it, however I think this was just a ploy to get rid of me, the employee didn't ask what my current firmware was and when I asked if this was definitely a fix for this in the latest firmware he said he didn't know!
everything is fine..except the forwarding. it's just with the 'premium' accounts. all other accounts work as expected. the server is a straight forward imap server. the same in fact i use for the second account that has no problems at all.
the issue is definitly on the mobile side... i am on KE2 - rooted.
if this issue is not fixable i will delete the premium account and reinstall it manualy. only workaround so far..

I'm having the same problem, ithehappy! No mails are being sent from my gmail account from the phone. Sent an email twice from my main gmail account to another yahoo account, and it has not even got sent! What exactly is the problem? Is it India specific problem?

sorry to say..but you have a different problem. sending mails is not the problem of this thread.. the forwarding of a received mail leads to an empty email on the recipient side. sending mails works fine.

I meant my problem is the same as what ITheHappy was referring to. I didn't mean my problem is same as yours. If somebody can answer why email is not being sent from my SGS II, it will be helpful to me. I was just trying to send one attachment of a pic in the email (total size of 131KB) and it just isn't being sent. There is no notification of whether the email is being sent or not! Does anyone here know the answer or I'll put my question in a separate thread.

Check you Outgoing Server settings, something must have messed up there.
I have just upgraded my firmware to KG2 and that does resolve the problem.
updated to KF3...now it works. root gone ;(

[Q] Email problems

Hi
Recently got a galaxy tab 10.1, and has 3.1 installed - no upgrade available yet apparently.
Anyway, I'm not sure if I've missed something glaringly obvious, but I'm reasonably literate with stuff like this. I'm trying to get my email setup, and have tried a number of apps. Until ICS comes out, Ive decided to use the stock email app, the samsung one..
Anyway, I can add multiple accounts, so I've got gmail, hotmail etc. The only problem is gmail (IMAP?) has a change displayed name feature, whereas hotmail (on activesync?) doesn't... So if my email is [email protected], my equivalent gmail has a display name setting to change that to whatever I want, in this instance Mr Bob Smith. However, the hotmail doesn't, and when I send an email, it's from winterscoming, essentially just the first part of the email address.
I can't believe that this is a bug / intentional, but the setting isn't there under the hotmail account. I was hoping l could shed some light on this. No luck searching - Otherwise it's a great little device.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
So no-one's come across thiss then? Basically to stop the stock mail app using the first part of the email address as opposed to my name?
Could anyone confirm whether they have the option to change the display name when usinf exchange activesync, especially with hotmail?
Cheers guys - much appreciated
If I follow you... Try adding yourself "Mr. Bob Smith" as a contact with the winterscoming email addres associated with it.
That should make it display as the Name rather than the email address.
I have a hotmail account in the stock email, open the stock email, goto [email protected] inbox, tap menu, account manager
tap [email protected], edit the account settings with account name "Mr Bob Smith", your name "Bob", signature "Bob Smith Hotmail on Android Tab"
your sent emails should show
(from) Bob ([email protected])
To: [email protected]
content - your message
sent from Bob Smith Hotmail on Android Tab
or whatever your preferences
hi
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I can change the signature, but I cant change the your name section as its an exchange account. I can change the account name but this only changes the displayed name in the email app.
Tried adding myself as a contact too - no luck.
For now all my emails are from 'winterscoming'
Could this be the crappy 3.1 and touchwiz? Dont have this problem on gmail or another activesync account ive added after
Cheers
I've got the exact same problem too. I can't enter a name for my activesync accounts so it displays the first bit of my email address as the sender name. So damn frustrating, I've been using Enhanced Email instead but the lack of split screen view is really annoying on a tablet.
Has anyone got a solution?

[Q] Sense Mail App Marks all Gmail as Unread

Hi, I searched the forums but could not find any thread that dealt with this issue (for any phone), so I apologize if it's already been posted. And since I don't know if this is just an issue with the Rezound, I'm posting it here.
When I set up my Rezound I entered in my Google account info, and the phone automatically set up my Gmail account both in the Gmail app and in the stock HTC Sense Mail app. The Gmail app seems to work fine, but the stock email app doesn't sync the read status of new messages. If I get any emails in Gmail during the day, even if I log into it on my computer and read the messages, they still show up as unread in the sense mail app. Refreshing the app doesn't change anything. In the Gmail app, the messages will be marked as read if I have viewed them anywhere else.
I can't figure out how to fix this, and there doesn't seem to be a way to edit any server settings for the account, as sense has it registered as a Gmail account in the stock mail app, and not as a pop/imap account.
Anybody having this problem, or know how to fix it? I'm a new android user, and have only had this phone for a few days. Thanks.
Just take the gmail email out of the htc mail and just use the gmail email app to get your gmail mail.

I would like to avoid doing this if possible. I like having all my mail in one place. Any way to fix the stock app?
Email htc/usa and ask them. It only takes one second to push the gmail app,that's what I do. I understand you don't want to do that. Htc should be able to tell you how to change the settings.

I got an official reply from HTC:
Thank you for contacting HTC Technical support about the issue you are having with your Gmail account on your device. I do apologize that you have this issue with your device and I will gladly assist you with this today. We recommend you delete your Gmail account from the mail application on your device and use the Gmail application for your Gmail account on your device. The issue you are having it with the way the Gmail POP3 servers work with the Mail application on the device and there is not a setting to make it sync up to have the mail show up read until you up it on your device.
Click to expand...

So it looks like, for whatever reason, the Gmail setting in the sense email app defaults to POP3, even though I have IMAP enabled in my gmail web settings. Unless anyone knows a way to fix this, I guess I will have to either set Gmail up as a regular IMAP account or just use the standalone application.
Thanks for the replies

Try to clear data of Email app? The only bad thing about that is that you have to reconfigure your email accounts...

With your phone off, go to the web browser version on a computer and check where new e-mails arrive.
If they arrive and stay in the inbox, then the problem is with your phone.
If the e-mail arrives and and directly goes to another folder or gets moved to that other folder from popping in the inbox, then it is the settings in actual account. It could be that the default incomming folder has been changed or there is a rule to move incomming e-mails to a specific folder.

Thank You for your reply.
I have configured my work email address on my phone as in my pc on microsoft outlook. I have inbox and other folders with rules. So, emails goes specifically on the relevant folders... I don't have problem with emails. They are going like i want to go, but my problem is elsewhere. If i click the new email that arrived on the notfication bar, it direct me just to inbox... it supposed to direct me directly on that email, so that i can read it... otherwise to read new emails that are on other folders (not in inbox) i have to go Settings/Folders/Inbox and than on folders... to much steps right?
