I setup my email account using IMAP. After getting my initial mail, the amount of messages I have in the Inbox stays the same, even after I delete them. Just for clarification, It says "4" (in the green circle) next to Inbox even though it's empty. It also says "4 new emails" on the screen-lock page. I tried deleting and recreating the account, but it stays the same.
I originally ran this account as POP3 (with "never delete from server" selected), but when my phone received a message, it would stop it from showing up on my computer's email client. It didn't just happen when I deleted the message on the phone.. the phone seemed to be taking it from the server.
I'd rather run the account as POP3, but I'd be happy with either if they worked properly. The only reason I have it setup in IMAP is because it allows me to receive the same message on my phone and computer.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks,

I have recently started using K9 mail, but have come across an issue of duplicate emails. I will receive them in both the inbox and in the folder I have them filtered to. For example, I have created a filter in gmail to send all emails from family into a folder called "Family". When I receive them in K9 Mail, it says there are 2 emails. The email shows up in the inbox folder and in the "Family" folder. I must view/delete them separately. Is there any way to have the mail just show up in the "Family" folder only or even vice versa (in the inbox)?

Sounds like something funny on the server end to me, I've never seen this happen.. What provider or server is in use, and is it IMAP or POP?
Does this also happen with the stock app?
I am currently using Gmail via IMAP. To be honest, I have not checked the stock app or the Gmail app to see it happens with those programs also. I should do that I guess. lol.
I actually restored some old settings and don't notice the problem any longer (thank goodness for Titanium Backup - which I didn't think about until after I set up my folders again).
Now I have another problem. I have noticed that sometimes when I send an email, it will send multiple versions of the draft out as well as the final draft. For example, grafts are automatically saved in gmail every so many minutes. Well if it takes me 20 minutes (I know, that's a long time - lol) to send out the email, all the saved versions of the draft are sent out also. This can be quite troublesome if I completely reword or delete sections of the email before I send out the final version. Any clues as to why or how this is happening? Thanks in advance.
Im not happy with K9 mAIL...it downloads email that i have already downloaded on my laptop the previous day too...is there a setting to get it to only download emails for the present day??
Hi there, everyone! Facing a strange problem lately. I've noticed that emails are not being sent when I use the Gmail 2.3.5 app to send them. That app does not show any confirmation after pressing the SEND button, other than "sending message", whether the email has been sent or not does not get confirmed. There is no OUTBOX to be viewed in the Gmail 2.3.5 app.
However, the email IS being sent when they are sent using the same gmail account but via the SOCIAL HUB. When I composed and sent the email via the Social Hub, it first shows in the Outbox of the EMAIL app, and then from there it is being delivered after a delay of few minutes.
I also tested sending the same email from the same gmail account using the EMAIL app, but that shows in the OUTBOX, but is still not delivered. So to cut the long story short. There are three applications which can be used for sending an email from a gmail account, and only one of those applications is working.
1. The GMAIL 2.3.5 app is NOT WORKING for sending an email.
2. The EMAIL app is showing the message in the OUTBOX, but the message is still not sent.
3. The Social Hub is the only app which WORKED for sending an email.
Do you all confirm my findings? If yes, then why is it that only the Social Hub is working for sending out an email from the Gmail account???
Now if you go to gmail.com on a pc, do you see your email in the outbox section? If not, then your Gmail app seems clogged up .
Go into settings > applications. Click the 'all-tab' and scroll to gmail. Select it and choose to delete the application data. Not the app itself of course. This requires you to add your google account back into the app. Could solve your problem.

Hi Prodygee, thanks for your reply. I did exactly like you said and clicked on "Clear Data".....I guess that's what u meant by deleting the application data. It worked like a charm! Thanks
Now I can send an email via the social hub AND via the Gmail app AND also via the Email app. All new sent messages are getting delivered. But one old message is still showing as pending in the Outbox (of the phone). Any tips on why that one is not getting sent?
And when I open the gmail account on my laptop, it does not have any "Outbox" folder there....it has a "Sent Mail" folder and a "drafts" folder (which is empty). But I don't think this is relevant now as the problem seems to have been solved with your tip Thanks again.
Me too!
Just want to add my own experience of not being able to send gmail from my phone.
I have gmail 2.3.5.2 running on a stock SGS2 with the latest OTA update - XWKI4 android 2.3.4 (not very new, I know)
I noticed gmail sending was broken recently - couldn't send new, or, replied to, emails. There was no error message, it just didn't do anything. If I pressed the back button, it prompted me if I want to quit. All I could do was save it to drafts and later resend it from a PC.
Anyway, reading the above, I went into app management and blew away all the cache and application data of the gmail app. I was worried about the latter thinking it might delete my entire gmail archive. Worry not - it just deletes it from the phone and later resyncs when you next load gmail.
Anyway, I did this ... and it didn't work
So, I wiped the cache and data from the gmail app again, shutdown the phone, pulled the battery and then using a PC, deleted all my old drafts, [imap]/sent and [imap]Trash. Switched it back on ...
... and it worked!
hi all,
lumia 800
can anyone shed any ideas as to why my email inbox empties a day or so after reading, my sent folder is intact just the inbox empties all read mail
voith
I see 45 people have read this query, with no solution so instead I will ask is this normal, does everyones inbox empty by itself after a short period of time.
Try this: go into email settings -> synchronisation settings -> Download email from - then select a longer time.
Cheers
Do you also download your e-mails to your PC or Laptop? Then it is normal for the inbox to show up empty because those messages are no longer available. The sent messages are stored locally on your phone and not in your normal sent mailbox with your e-mail server.
"Do you also download your e-mails to your PC or Laptop" Yes
"Then it is normal for the inbox to show up empty because those messages are no longer available" Depends on how you setup email account, if you use IMAP instead of POP3 then your inbox would be available across al your devices.
Cheers

thanks all for your replies,in the synchro I have it downloading from anytime, though it made no difference, regarding the above quote, I was not downloading my mail on another computer as I wanted all mail to go to my phone and stay there as it was a dedicated addys, I lived with the deletions until I desperately needed a recent received email, and found it had already been deleted, so in the end I had to add the account to my home comp to download the mails so that I could save them, since I have started to download them to my main comp, it has not altered the time taken to delete its always a few days.
oh and I am running pop3
Greets all,
Was wondering if anyone might have this issue. I setup my phone to grab my emails, I set it up as an IMAP so that this way I could get the emails but keep it on the server, so this way I can download it on my computer into outlook later on. Up until the One max, I never had an issue and always set it up the same way, I recently just noticed that after I read a email and if I delete it from the phone it seems to delete it off the server as well. I tested this out by sending myself an email and then deleting it, then going into outlook to receive the email but it wasnt there. If I got into the server its in the deleted folder and not in the inbox as it should be.
Anyone else notice this?
Well I just tried something else, I just set it up as a POP account, and it works as IMAP, Hmmm I wonder if they messed up and named them wrong, where Imap is suppose to be pop and pop is suppose to be IMAP.
Still curious to see others responses.
When i click Add account, it shows Other(POP/IMAP)
Screen shot attached for your reference, what do you get?
Same thing except I dont have Gmail or Yahoo in the list, just the other three, but thats not where the problem is, its after you pick Other/pop3. Long story short: I have my own email, I set it up through aol a long time ago when they were giving away domain names for free, then they dropped it and I had to get it registered through another place to keep it, but I still can use aol's mail settings in outlook to get me mail. The problem is I can see the email on aol's site, and download it to my outlook, but the first way I set it up on the phone I would see it on the phone and then delete it, when I go into outlook it would say no mail, but if I went to aol's site and looked in the trash it was in there where its not suppose to be, its suppose to be in the inbox to be downloaded to my outlook. But when I changed the setting to pop setting, it is working as Imap should.

Ah okay, i got your problem... i don't know why imagined that you PC was missing IMAP, but was that not the IMAP was supposed to work..., 2 way communication = IMAP
POP vs IMAP
If you're trying to decide between using POP and IMAP, we encourage you to use IMAP.
Unlike POP, IMAP offers two-way communication between your web Gmail and your email client. This means when you log in to Gmail using a web browser, actions you perform on email clients and mobile devices (ex: putting mail in a 'work' folder) will instantly and automatically appear in Gmail (ex: it will already have a 'work' label on that email the next time you sign in).
IMAP also provides a better method to access your mail from multiple devices. If you check your email at work, on your mobile phone, and again at home, IMAP ensures that new mail is accessible from any device at any given time.
Finally, IMAP offers a more stable experience overall. Whereas POP is prone to losing messages or downloading the same messages multiple times, IMAP avoids this through two-way syncing capabilities between your mail clients and your web Gmail.

Okay you missed the whole point here. When I chose IMAP with my email on my phone, and then delete it from the inbox (select and hit trash can) its suppose to delete from the phone inbox, but should show up as new in my outlook 2010 on my pc as new. It doesnt show up at all. If I go to a web browser and login into my email, its in my trash folder and not in my inbox as it should be.
Now if I change the setting on the phone FROM IMAP to POP, THEN is works correctly as IMAP.
they way i have always thought of imap to work is , as the other poster mentioned: 2 way communication.
if i delete mail on the phone (imap), then on my web based email, that same email will be deleted there.
if i move an email from , say, inbox to some other folder on my phone, then on the server it too will get moved there.
this is how imap is supposed to work? at least that is how it has worked for me over the years...
i have 4 email accounts on my own email server. i use gmail to fetch that mail and i also use my web based interface to access it. the mail is synced everywhere its supposed to be.
i have the all set to imap, not pop.

me too... yes that's how IMAP works, i am guessing OP has some little confusion on it..
I do understand this, but coming from a samsung galaxy note, this wasnt the case. On computers it did work this way, but every phone I've had and including the Note did not work this way, this is the first time its functioning this way, which I thought was odd.
