Has anyone experienced this before?
My phone goes through phases of reloading old, read mail. It notifies to say there's new mail but its not normally visible, so I scroll down and find that some mail that has been read but not deleted has now been highlighted, as if it hasn't been read.
I have the settings for this account set to keep the past 7 days of mail and is set to Push email during the day, and its set up via the Social Hub. Sometimes after reading a deleting a message the phone immediately alerts me that there is New mail, only to find it has reloaded old mail as new! Its as if it feels the need to replace any spaces in the 7 days of mail. This only happens with Hotmail, not Gmail.
I've tried deleting and reloading the Hotmail account but it doesn't change things, I even did a complete wipe of the phone the last time it started doing this but it didn't help. Eventually it stopped doing it by itself. Unfortunately, its started to do it again.
Its an non branded, UK spec phone, running standard 2.3.4

I configured my phone with Gmail out of the box, it functioned perfect for a few weeks, and now for some reason it will check and download my email, but will error when trying to send any emails.
Any idea why this could be?
Yah, that's happened to me too, I just deleted that gmail account, made another one that checks the same account, and it worked again...kinda annoying, but it's a 2 min process.

I have seen so many repoorts of this over at PPCG and from firends of mine with the TP.
Maybe a GMAIL issue? Not sure but your not alone.
i've tried remaking the account on the phone to no avail. good to know at least I'm not alone!
I started seeing this problem with IMAP servers on WM 6.1, have compiled some info on it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374663
I haven't had to recreate any mail accounts after applying the MS WM 6.1 patch linked in that thread. A soft reset is all that's been needed since.
I've got my fingers crossed for WM 6.5 to be a real fix. I'd like to give that 5.2.21014 a try too if it ever comes around again...
go to mail2web.com create a free account (Exchange Support)
go to Gmail settings forward ur gmail incoming mail to [email protected]
now setup push e-mail on ur phone through active sync
ull get the e-mail within 5 seconds of it being received, and u'll save some battery juice cuz ur phone is not checking for new e-mails every now and then.
IMHO it works flawlessly, i have my hotmail and gmail going through push, as u can forward as many e-mail accounts as u want
MOE
As it turns out a second soft reset and delete>remake the account on the phone got my email working again.
Anyone point me in the right direction here? I'm pretty sure there are some threads covering this but I can't find them.
Mines a standard HD2 from O2. I've had it for a while and every so often after a soft reset, a load of my email accounts are deleted - just leaving the hotmail and outlook account (my pop 3 account disappears) If I restore the previous night's backup data (I backup daily), they all re-appear, but it's a pain because then when I then try and sync it with AS, I get the message 'there's been a change on the server that requires the whole of your device to be re-synced' (or something like that) Which takes an age
Wondered if anyone else had experienced 'disappearing email accounts' and whether there's a fix?
AFAIK I've always had this problem - but in the past it only deleted them occasionally. This week, after almost EVERY reboot, the email accounts have been deleted
Thanks guys!

My wife got this phone over this past weekend. The stock email app is not updating. She never receives her new emails on her phone. So I downloaded k9 app and it worked the first day. Now it is not syncing with her yahoo email account and always says she doesn't have any new emails. She can login to her email on a computer and has several new emails a day. Any ideas?
Im assuming youve been through the basics? Making sure mobile data is on, settings are set correctly in the app for refresh times, background data enabled, no task killers/managers running, etc.
Check Settings / Accounts and make sure the account(s) are set to sync and that they're allowed to sync in the background.
Although this may not be the answer to your issue,I had a similar experience w/the G-MAIL app recently.I tried everything,including downgrading to an older version of it.
I consulted w/other users & compared settings.Mine were identical,but,still had to manually refresh to see the new mail in my inbox.
The only thing that resolved this issue was a factory reset.Works fine now.
Additionally,while having this issue,I was unable to access the DATA SAVER settings page.When I selected it,it would just flash,as if it were trying to open,but,no can do.
Weird thing is that I only messed w/these settings on one occasion,when the phone was new,just to check it out(no need to limit data on an unlimited plan,right?).
Anyway,after the factory reset,everything is back to normal.
Just goes to show there is no perfect phone,O/S,or app,100% of the time.
I have an exchange account set up to sync email, tasks, and contacts, but for some reason not all of my contacts will sync. And it seems like the contacts that won't sync are some of the most used ones. I have numbers for people I've never called, but most of my family, friends, and coworkers aren't in here.
Anyone have any idea why? I have it set up the same as on my international Note, where there were no problems, and I've gone over the settings several times now.
Nevermind, I gave up and did a hard reset. The problem was related to another problem I was having that I posted about a couple days ago. I kept getting lag and an error about google services framework stopping unexpectedly.
When I went to the account settings, I could clearly see google contacts was failing to sync and every time it would try, that's when I would get that error message. I didn't want to do a hard reset, but finally gave in.
I recently solved a real pain of an email issue I was having, and wanted to pass along the experience. I had tried searching these forums for several days, but didn't quite find my problem, and didn't find the solution all in one place. With that in mind, I'm hoping this information helps someone, even if a bit of it may be covered in other threads (sorry if so).
I had upgraded recently to JB 4.1.1, and was having a lot of problems getting my corporate/exchange email account to work. The calendar and contacts would work sometimes, and the email never got past the "waiting for sync" screen. Anytime the calendar and contacts would work, they would break after a reboot of the phone.
I also found that sometimes exchange account would stick around after it stopped working, and other times it would disappear (from the Android settings > accounts list) completely. I had set the accounts up both through the stock email app, and through a third - party email app (Enhanced Email, a good app).
I tried deleting and recreating the accounts, with varying settings (port numbers, accepting all security certificates, etc.). Later on, I went to my company's online web access for Exchange, and deleted all the mobile connections so that it would create a new connection for my current phone and ROM. I recreated the account (for what seemed like the 50th time) after that. Still no good.
The thing that made the difference: I finally read a tip somewhere to force stop the (stock) email client, and clear its cache and data. After that, the email app needed to be set up again, but email synched for the first time since I installed this ROM, and my calendar and contacts work reliably. It's been several days and reboots, and no further problems have come up.
I hope this helps someone, and again, apologies if the information is duplicative. I couldn't find it all in one place, and was really beating my head against the wall trying to find a fix.

Hi there, I think im glad i found this thread although not sure it will help with my corporate mail problem. My problem exists only with contacts not syncing from my corporate exchange account. My mail and calendar is ok just no contacts sync.
You mention to force stop the stock email client, can you advise the steps and exact name of the process? Do you mean in manage apps - All - Email ? I cant seem to stop that process its all greyed out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, due to my role i really need my exchange contacts to sync.
Cheers,
Hi guys,
My experience is different.
If you have problems to sync your email you need to clear all previous mobile connections from outlook (via outlook web access) and set up your account from zero on the device.
Quick question why do you use a third party email client? Do you have Samsung device? Got the same problem and had to move to a asop (CM10)
Samsung email client and exchange doesn't work well since the original Galaxy.

solution for me
For me what solved was a solution I found in another post here in the forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774978&page=2
In summary:
"Settings --> Data Usage --> Menu --> and check Auto Sync Data
Try setting up Exchange account again and you'll see the prompt to activate a Device Administrator this time. "
