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?

Use IMAP rather than POP3 should resolve it.
If you want POP3 only option is a software to move mail to another folder within that mail account as it only removes mail from inbox.
I use POP3 & POMO to move my important mail to folders created by me & delete junk or leave it in inbox, works well for my usage requirements.
Thanks but gmail is already IMAP as far as I know! Am I wrong? So what can I do? To set again from the beggining my account and choose IMAP server? In what software did yoy refer to? sorry for my bad english

default setup is IMAP.
when I used IMAP all mail stays present in inbox.
I use POMO to organise mail with simple rules & move mail to another folder in my POP3 accounts so they are not deleted on next send/receive.

I managed to fix that! I didnt use that programm but with many "magic" and with little bit luck I fixed that prob in gmail an hotmail too! Thanks for help

If you gMail set as an IMAP account, you can use it as an Exchange server. In ActiveSync on your HD2, select 'configure server' and enter 'm.google.com'. Use your gMail account details as the user. Remember to de-select calendar and contacts etc unless you want to sync those with Google as well. The advantage of this setup is that you can set the email schedule to collect mail as it arrives. It does use more power so I use it during work hours only.
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.

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
Hey all,
This is my fourth or fifth android device but first time I've experienced this issue. Try as I may I cannot locate any place in my email (hotmail) account settings that would allow me to set my "display name". As such, my emails show up in other people's inbox as my hotmail account name and not my actual name.. Please tell me I'm being blind and missing this setting somewhere? Same issue for gmail as well.
Thanks,
Tawheed
I'm guessing someone else has experienced this and I must just be missing something??
Both you set on the homepage and not the app.
Swyped on my Galaxy S III
Found the setting in the gmail website as even when I sent from the website it would show my email address. With Hotmail, when I send from the website it works fine so I'm not sure why / how I set it up there to do the same when sending from phone
Is anyone else having this problem?
Using the samsung email app .In the email settings for the account I have set the "Recent Messages" to 25 (the same thing happens if I set it to any other number except "total").* When I receive a new email & delete it, the 26th email moves back up to 25th & the mail app brings it in as a new unread email again.My htc desire allowed me to set it by number of days old, but I don't see this as an option on the S3.**I really don't want to set it to "Total" & have every email that I've ever received but haven't deleted show up on my*phone.
It's driving me nuts.
Thanks
It's happening on my mate's s3 too. Anyone else?
Is it deleted on your email account as well? I had this issue when I got my S3, too.
There's an option within the mail app, where you can toggle to delete those mails from your email account, when you delete them inside the app.
The default setting on my S3 was, that it's only deleted inside the app, but not from my mail.
I hope this helps.
Settings>App manager>email app>clear cache
Or go to recovery and wipe cache/fix permissions

S4 Old Emails Return, Sync
Hello,
I have seen that many, many folks are having problems with this. Posts all over the place on android central and many other places.
I have had this problem intermittently over time and have tried different things.
In the past, I just deleted the old emails and typically no more problem for some time.
Recently the problem returned.
Deleting the old emails did not get rid of them. Essentially, you see emails pop up as new at the bottom of your S4 android email box. They are old emails.
I tried the following.
Deleting old emails, older emails just show up as new, unread.
Deleting the actual emails in your box is not good if you want to keep them. If you use this method you'd have to delete them all. I don't want this.
Delete all emails from your pop3 email and set your android mail to delete from server. I don't want this. I want to keep them on the server. I should be able to.
Set the android email to 25, didn't help. Set the android email to total and then delete or move them to trash, didn't help.
Delete and reconfigure the email box. Didn't work.
I am currently trying a fix for my comcast email I have always used pop3 style setup on the stock android email setup. Today I deleted my email box and reconfigured it as IMAP and set the security as SSL. It seems to work, but I will repost if it doesn't . Setting to TSL, the mail wouldn't load. Setting to no security with IMAP, wouldn't load an email. SSL seems to be the only way.
Good luck!
So it seems after I setup both my gmail accounts it keeps trying to use the wrong one when sharing images via inbox & gmail.
Does anyone know how to set the default send address?
Thanks
When you send any mail... I think it asks to choose e-mail address from which you want to send mail..
Ah that's new to me. It used to just default to the one I wanted to use and would just be text rather than a drop down. Thanks for the info.
