New Gmail sometimes not loading? - HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone else see this? Gmail is sometimes reporting a new message but does not load it into the inbox.

Have you tried refreshing?

Yes, I do refresh, I see that there is a new message, but it is not in the inbox folder.

This happens to GMail quite a bit, in my experience.
Deleting the files in GMail (in Applications) fixes it temporarily.
I stopped using the native GMail client because of this, and now only use the Android APK (see attached).

Thanks. I pulled the Email client from CM6. Is this the same as you posted?

Don't know. I never tried CM6.
If it has the ability to assign a different color to each account, then it's probably pretty similar to the one I am using (which I believe I saved from a very early version of CM7).

Are you using priority inbox by any chance?

I have one of the accounts set up as the default, if that's what you mean by "priority."

.
Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

Priority Inbox is something you can enable in Gmail to be alerted when more important mail is sent to you. They take higher priority in the mailbox, as well as having a separate notification and label when it comes to the app.
If you are using it, and the problem still occurs, try pressing MENU > Labels > Inbox. You can see all your mail there.
I dunno, just a thought.

Mark all mails "as read" - any solution?

Hi all.
concidering amount of the brains (and I mean in a good way), passing those forums, how come nobody haven't find a solution to mark all unread e-mails "as read". At the moment I´m using POP3 account and I got about 30-50 e-mails per day + some spam. So it is quite frustrating either open every single e-mail or just to ignore green sign with number of unread e-mails in the home screen.
... or is it only me who will find this irritating...
anyway - cheers to everybody. Great community here. In the pass I was probably only WM user in my neighborhood, who could actually use it ...thanks to XDA, as all the problems I had, got answers here.
What about check all email accounts for new email solution?
You can delete em all... but may be that's not what you want. So if you don't wanna read them all, you should be able to change your POP3 setting on the mail server in such a way that it does not send you the spam. You can also choose from within the HTC mail app how many mails per day you want to download. I know this is not the solution but am just suggesting something.
I would like to know that too! It is really annoying to read emails you dont want to read or you know what is in the email.
Would be nice to have an application for it

just to clarify... my problem isn't the spam and not the quantity. As Im using my laptop as primary worktool for checking email etc, im using my phone only when outside the office, basically in the near future I stat to use exchange anyway (waiting the setup), but this is something at the moment that I would like to solve (as it was solved when using WM diamond). Just imagine, have read all 30 mails received by noon and driving out of office, when checking mail while driving, I got all the mails received/read earlier shown as "new". Simplest thing to do, when not using IMAP, is mark them all read, which should be something easiest tasks with WM phone but not with Android... I hope you understand ....
basically I have lot of unread e-mails. I will pick up the ones I think are important (based on the subject) and read them, all others I will ignore and I would mark them "as read".

OK, the bottom line is the mails you don't regard as important, you don't wanna read them ever... so why not "bulk delete" them??!! Cuz I imagine you just don't wanna see the mail icon displaying those mails as a green bubble. You can do so!! When in the HTC mail app where all emails are listed, press menu and select delete >> you'll see a X icon in from of every email >> you can select the ones you don't wanna read ever and then delete them all at once. I found it quite handy. But the Exchange server would be great once you get it. I just hope that Yahoo mail also becomes IMAP.
Ok you can delete, but stilll if you want to save some emails for later. This is a missing function.
Open GMail in your browser (so not the hero app):
Do a search :
in:inbox in:unread
Then choose select all.
You will get an option of selecting all mail in the search.
Choose action: mark as read
And tada, all mail is read!

hmmm.... I have no idea what do you talking about...
R U sure this is HTC Hero standard mail app, you have this "search unread" option and "select all" option? My phone sure as hell doesn't have this function.

true, true...
saphuis is probably talking about gmail app, not the inbuild imap/pop/exchange client.
This is a missing feature, we need to be able to select multiple messages and do stuff with them, currently this only works for delete ( Menu-delete )
I'm not sure, but if you don't need exchange, you might be able to use default android mail app, that might have the features you request ... quick google search did not help me to be sure ...
should have been more clear.
Had the same problem. Could only solve it in the browser gmail environment.
OK, another idea to solve the problem in its current state (although it is not an alternative to including the desired feature in the mail app!!) >> How about moving all the unread mails at once to another folder e.g. Trash?? That way, you'll still have them but won't see them in the inbox or as a green bubble.

Wow, you are right ! Nice one
well this might work, but it's lame. how can it be that this device is advertised as the uber-internet-and-mail-smartphone and is not capable of the simpliest tasks... this has to be improved, it's a shame.
i mean, we're not apple, so this should be possible without three major os releases, shouldn't it?
POP3 doesn't support 'Read' as a flag does it?
AFAIK, the App keeps track of the last message it saw, and downloads new ones since its last download - but there's no Read synchronisation between different POP3 applications.
You need IMAP for that - or use Gmail to collect your POP3 mail and then use the Gmail app instead..
I have my HTC Mail linked to my Apple MobileMe account.
If I read, delete, not read a message on the Hero, this is reflected in Mail on my Mac.
Seems they are synced pretty closely.
Sorry, not in any way helpful here, but just wanted to highlight the fact.

POP3 didn't have this option with WM as well. Issue here is not the difference between IMAP and POP3, but missing feature on the standard E-mail app on the HTC Hero (android op sys) to select all unread messages at once and mark them as read.
There are different options how to mark them unread and all these options are fine until you have couple of e-mails per day, but if the quantity of the e-mails is quite high, then all those options (like manually selecting each e-mail) fail.
So basically this is the reason I hate to use e-mail app and one and only advantage of Windows phone comparing to android at the moment. ... I hope this advantage of WM will dissapear soon.

[Q] Shostock2 and exchange help

Ok running Shostock2 3.0.5 and loving it.
Having one issue though. Everytime I try and send an e-mail via exchange I get an error message
Unable to sign or encrypt message. Certificate not installed.
Ok, I've tried both the security and non security exchange downloads.
Encrypt in the settings is always unchecked. Sign always defaults to checked but when I uncheck I can send e-mails out.
Not sure what I'm missing here so I'm asking for some guidance on fixing the only nuisance with this rom I'm experiencing.
Are you using the modified exchange apk from post 2 in the ROM thread?
yes i've tried installing both varieties with the same result.
Next question: What email are you using?
the built in e-mail for exchange. I'm not using any optional e-mail clients.
I started using enhanced email and I love it. It works with activesync without having to put in your passcode

Have you tried turning off Push messages?

I don't use email and exchange so I have no real insight but from what I was told by some users, when setting up the client... do what BROKKANIC said and turn off push and set it to manual during setup. I think once its working you can set it back to push. Not 100% sure though.
never had push enabled. As I said, it's a personal phone but use it to check work e-mails from time to time.
The push of e-mails I find annoying.
Also as stated it's not incoming i have the issues with, it's the outgoing.

Is there an option for SSL or something to that effect? I know with road runner email on my father inlaw's I had to set up 2 different servers for email to use since he uses it on wifi and on 3g data. Maybe you have to do the same.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
yes there is. Been through all that for now. For now I've switched over AOKP to see if life is good and it works fine which I find strange.
Not sure what the magic number is to get everything to work but it does on one and not your rom.

Any email app with autodetect date in message?

Is there any email app that can detect dates/times in messages and offer a link to set an appointment like the iphone email app does? Thanks.

Doesn't the standard Touch-wiz Email app do this? Running CM10 now so I can't check, but I am 99% certain it hyperlinked dates and words like "today", "tomorrow", etc.

Sense 4+ mail app.

Anyone know of a way to set it up to automatically display images. As of right now, I have to click display images on each and every individual email.

After your tell it to display images, you can tell it to always display images from this sender. As of now, as far as I know, there is no way to always display pictures. This is a security thing, more than anything else.

That's only in the GMail app. The Exchange mail app does not.

I was just about to say that.
I would download Enhanced Email in the play store. I use it for work email and it works great..also bypasses the forced security of entering a pin to access your exchange email.

So it's no problem if it just shown a "?" of the image due to security, right??

[Q] email notifications

I'm wondering if anyone knows of any apps/utils that notify you of new emails (without actually checking email directly on the phone). What I mean is, an app that I guess checks it in the background or whatever, then pops up letting you know you have mail "to check". When I had my "other phone" there was an app called Ultimate Notifier that did this - I didn't have to check my email constantly, and I'd only get notifications that I had email "to check" when I did.
I've found a few apps in the market, but none seem to either work at all, or even do what I'm wanting to do. I know it's not an issue to check email every hour or whatever, but sometimes I prefer to just be notified that I have an email, and if I decide to check it, I check it, if not I don't, at least I was notified anyhow.
Hopefully there's "an app" for that, lol. It's the only thing I miss coming from my "old phone" If it matters, I'm using AquaMail, and the few that I have found are for K9 mail (and haven't been updated in years).
Thanks.

I'm confused. All email I thought had this built in. I use Gmail, Yahoo (through built in email app) and Outlook through touchdown. Gmail and outlook are push so every time I get an email I can have it notify me. Yahoo checks every 1/2 hour and notifies me if I have a new email.
why would you need an external app unless you don't have nay kind of setting to auto update mail or push?

Because I don't have it set to update. I generally do, but wanted to have it the way I had it with my other device. It'd just notify that I *had* an email (it wouldn't pull it or anything), and I could choose to check it or not check it. I know it seems silly, but it's just the way I preferred it I suppose.

OK not sure if you do this to save battery life or whatever but if so it would not make sense since the other app would be reaching out (push) to see if there was any email. So it would be a wash one vs the other.

A bit of battery saving. I'm not sure how the app I was using with my other device worked (It was called Ultimate Notifier), but their system checked my email server(s) to see if I had messages, if I did, it'd just send me a push notification - I wasn't "polling" any email servers on my end.

Umm...Ultimate Notifier was made at a time when Push email didn't exist outside of using MobileMe. It was made useless when Apple allowed Push mail with Gmail and POP3 boxes. What you were, in essence, doing is polling the Ultimate Notifier server in the same way that phones today poll Gmail (or other boxes). It used no less battery. In fact, if you know how Push notifications work it doesn't matter if you have 1 service (in your case Ultimate Notifier) or 10 services, you're not using any more battery. The only thing using the battery is downloading the emails, which probably accounts for about 10 minutes of battery a day.
In essence, there's no need for an app like that when every email app can do it natively. It uses the same amount of battery. If you liked how it looked and such...that can probably be done with a few other apps (different email apps or notification apps).
