I have an issue where after setting up my email acct on the Touchpad, I can receive email just fine, but everytime I write one, it goes to the outbox and will not send. I'm using Hotmail (live.com).
I just received a second hand android pad from my Mother and I have the same problem on that even though the setup for incoming and outgoing mail completes fine.
I'm stumped. Any ideas?
Thanks

Have you tried to clear the.caches

cdzo72,
I had tried that with the android unit which didn't help. I just tried on the HP and mail still gets stuck in the outbox.
Thanks for your suggestion.
Is there something I need to set up in Hotmail itself for this to work?

It should all set itself up automatically ... I would delete the account... wipe the app memory in app manager... reboot and then set it up again

Quick question. How do I wipe the app memory? I don't see any such option in the Software Manager.
Thanks.

You go and clear the "Clear Cache" option and also the "Clear Data" option, reboot if you like and then set the account up again
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
Sorry, I must really be dense. The only option I see anywhere to "Clear Cache" is in the web browser and there is no option to "Clear Data".
Could you please tell me where to do this?

No need to be so rude about it, cdzo72. He's new to the Android scene, apparently, so he needs patience and guidance, not animosity.
Settings => Apps => click EMail, then choose Force Stop, then Clear Cache, then Clear Data. Reboot your tablet and try again.
The other thing I would do, and this is just from experience, is set up a GMail account and import everything from your hotmail into it, and start using it. It's an easier platform to use, and also integrates flawlessly with Android, being from the same company (Google). Then again, since I loathe hotmail, it could just be bias talking.

ve6ay,
Thanks for the kindness. First off, my question related primarily to the HP Touchpad which is still on WebOS. No wonder none of this made sense. The Android suggestion may help on my second non-HP tablet which I 've only had for a couple of days.
I did not realize everything on this site had to be android related. I thought I remembered a lot of WebOS questions here when the Touchpad first came out. My bad.
cdzo72,
Sorry I bothered you. I won't post here again. Also, sorry I'm so stupid. I'll get some help.
You also might want to go into your hotmail settings and use change the impap/pop settings. Hotmail by default uses pop, try changing it to imap and the reload your email settings again on your touchpad. Also as someone mentioned , adding your hotmaail account to your gmail account makes thing even easier.
I have no idea why it would do that from within WebOS, since I haven't used the mail client there for anything but Gmail. But I agree, log into your Hotmail, and change the settings to I map. Then go into your email app, and manually add in another account, using the I map settings that they (should) offer you in the settings. I can't say where they are or what they are, since I haven't used Hotmail since the 90s.
Best of luck, mate. Don't be scared away. It is just that some new people don't bother to search. Your question is one I haven't seen yet, so it is a good one to investigate. Than, you for bringing it up.

Haxin,
Thanks for the suggestion. I got things fixed up on both tablets.
On the Android, deleting the account, clearing the cashe and data, and re-establishing the account did the trick.
On the WebOS HP unit, I deleted the account, re-booted and manually set up the Hotmail again with settings that I had Googled. All this time I was using settings that WebOS had used during an automatic set-up. I think it turned out to be a port setting and a security setting. Everything works fine now, too.
I thought it weird that both units had the same issue which is why I had originally thought it to be a Hotmail issue, not a setup issue.
Thanks again!

Ve6ay,
Thanks for the suggestions and encouragement. Sometimes folks go from zero to grumpy in 6 seconds.
All is sorted out now, see my reply to haxin above.
I haven't changed the setting in Hotmail to I map yet, since it seems unnecessary at this point. If I have future issues, I'll try that.
Thanks again!

Would some kind person tell me how to fix messages getting stuck in my Outbox? The problem occurs randomly, I will try to send a pic or forward an email and it gets stuck. (Sending) You can refresh, sync, reboot phone, etc.... and nothing pushes the message. This happens to me on different ROMs too...
I have checked all around and have found quite a few complaints about the issue but no reasons and no solutions........
Thanks!
Can't say I have had that issue, but to be fair I just use it to read emails and rarely send them. Maybe you could try using gmail through the browser of your choice if it is necessary.
Yes, I had this same issue and found the answer in the KaosFroyo FAQ. Go to settings, manage applications, gmail, and push the clear data button. Confirm the action. The phone will immediately begin a resync with the servers after which you should have all of your email, etc. Send operations should then work without appearing to stall.

For me, it was "Gmail Storage" app instead of "Gmail" app that needed data cleared. Might as well do both for extra measure.
I'll have to try the gmail storage app as well. I've been having this problem the last few days, and clearing the data from the gmail app did not work for me.
Others have recommended a reboot after clearing data. No idea if that helps. Just passing along the info.
Wiping does not help the situation. I think the issue is with Google and the apk itself. They have made a lot of changes to GMAIL since I originally posted this. I have not had this problem in quite some time.
Make sure you have the most current version of the GAPPS.

I cleared out the data on both the Gmail app and the Gmail storage last night. Now my e-mails are going through, so that's good.
But my browser won't stay open for more than a few seconds. Figures.
Yeah, go into settings - appications - manage applications - Gmail - clear data and cache. Open the gmail app let it reconfiger.
Should work.
For ur browser. Do u have adobe flash installed? If so it makes thr browser do that.
Uninstall it.

But how about the email stuck sending? Clearing the data will delete it, I assume? It only shows me the first line with some dots, so no hope in copy/pasting and resending… unless there is a way to get back to editing it?
anyone know where this info is kept so I could grab it through adb?
thanks!

When you clear data for Gmail and Gmail Storage, it will delete the email that's stuck sending. So before you do that, go to your Drafts folder in the Gmail app and I think you'll be able to edit the email (and copy the text out of it).
Why can't you change the default for your contact that you create on the phone to default to a Google contact instead of the phone contact? Does anyone know how this can be changed? I rooted my phone and lost a couple contacts that I had put in the phone because phone contacts don't sync to the gmail account. Glad I at least found this out early so I don't have a huge problem when putting a different rom on it in the future.

that was a really annoying "feature" of the samsung fascinate. I guess the only way around it is to use the AOSP contacts program. I will attempt to restore it from titanium backup and see if it works
it usually sets it as gmail right out of the gate when i'm creating contacts, etc...i find myself checking every once in awhile now anyways. it is truly annoying!

however, yes, annoying. One solution would be to export contracts to SD from phone, import from SD to google.

I did the same thing. I went into gmail and organized/updated all my contacts. So now all my phone contacts are Google contacts. Be sure to go into gmail and do a perge/merge of any duplicates. This makes porting contacts over that much easier.
What really annoyed me was the linking/suggested linking of contacts on the phone vs google vs facebook. After you centralize everything around your google contacts things become much easier.
To set contact default to Google go into you contact list then press menu and choose view next uncheck the box that says "phone" and now your default is Google

I think if you create the new contact in your google account (vs on the phone) then it will sync up and everything will be OK.
I have to get into my google account contacts and clean up some stuff, duplicates, etc., that seem to appear every now and then.

Thanks, this is one step closer to what I need. I have a couple GMail accounts on my phone one of which I use solely for work contacts and I use the option of selecting which GMail account I added the new contact to. Really missing this feature

That just changes which contacts show. I am talking about entering a new contact and letting it be a Google contact by default. I don't want to accidentally set it up as a phone contact which will not sync to your Google account.

I gotta say Contact Management with Android has been probably one of my biggest frustrations. I like the ability to sync my GMail contacts, that's easy enough. But between getting pictures and "linking" "synching" and "attaching" contacts via Twitter, MS Exchange, and other means... TO not being able to only populate mobile numbers when creating SMS/MMS's and such, it is just way more difficult than it should be.
It could and SHOULD be much simpler. Maybe I'm just a wii-todd, idk.. Either way, I feel your pain dude.
Ya so was I.... Maybe since u have a mixture it isn't working for u.....Export all your contact to Google then remove ur Google account from the phone then delete all ur contacts off ur phone then sync with Google and do the steps I posted before

Are you running any applications such as Juice Defender or Automateit.(Something that would be disabling data in any way?
Is "Enable Always on Mobile Data" disabled under Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile Networks?
I have the same problem. What the hell is going on? I'm sure I have not changed any settings. And everything is on. I never used Sense before this phone so.. maybe there is some different settings?
Always data is on, no juice defender or anything like that. Gmail used to show up on my OGEvo immediately, before my computer usually, now it won't show up for 10 minutes if at all when I don't refresh it manually. Not good :-/
Try going into settings/applications/manage applications and clearing cache & data for gmail. I've never had a problem with the 3vo, but with my Hero anytime I switched roms/themes I had to do that more often then not....After you clear data, don't forget to log back into your gmail account.
Thanks, I'll let you know if this worked, did a quick test and the email DID show up instantly so hopefully that was the fix.

Hey guys,
My wife has a bell atrix and for some reason there is a hidden "hotmail" account that I can not delete. I can see the account in mail/message settings but it does not show up in account settings, therefore i can not delete nor edit it. So in the end I had to make a new account as "hotmail1" but now she receives emails twice.
Has anyone ever experience this before and know how to delete hidden account?
btw. she is running the latest OTA update with launcher pro and no custom rom.

go into manage applications and clear all data from any app involving your hotmail accounts. you might have to set all of them back up but it should remove the hidden account.
cleared all data and uninstalled apps that require email addresses but the hidden account is still there.
Happened to me before. a hotmail account.
Even came across a thread about it in the official motorola forums. The only solution I found was to format my Atrix!
your kidding me....a reformat? I really want to avoid doing that...
i've searched the motorola forums but did not find any such thread. Do you remember the link and/or search criticia? It would be appreciated!
update: nvm, I found the post. It is from someone who has a moto droid with the same problem. Does anyone have any possible solution to this problem without resorting to formatting?

*********************************************************
My Droid X has gone thru at least 2 updates since I got it as far as I can
remember. All normal updates OTA with no rooting, etc. Currently on 2.3.3
Android at System 4.5.596 MB810.Version.en.US
Recently I went looking to change some parameters on one of my email
accounts but I discovered something interesting. Not sure how long it has
been there.
When I click on the messaging icon, I see a Universal Inbox, text, and 5
email accounts as expected. If I click on "Edit Universal Inbox", it
shows 6 check boxs of 5 email and 1 text account. So far everthing is
normal.
But if I click on "Manage Accounts", I see only 4 email accounts + 2 Google
accounts. So where is my 5th email account which I use as my primary and
how do I modify my missing email account?. It I try to add it in, it
complains it is a duplicate so something knows it is there but it does not
show under the "My accounts" page.
So how do I make visible, a hidden email account so I can modify it? I
tried wiping the cache but saw no changes as it is still missing. I would
appreciate some recommendations on what to try now before I go for the
factory reset. Thanks. Andy

I know some people were looking for an app that forwards SMS to an email account. Sadly I have switched this option on somewhere in my GS3 and now it is forwarding every SMS to my Email account. This is really annoying now and I want to switch it off, sadly I don't remember how or when I have switched this on? Is there any chance I can track this down?
The crazy part is that I totally factory reset my phone to factory setting and its still forwarding the SMS to my work email account.....

I'm not completely sure, but I think I haven't done that. This must be some backup option because they are going to my work email address and I think I did that in case I don't have access anymore to my private email address.
So it might have something to do with Avast Mobile Security, I had this installed to my root folder, so this might have survived the factory reset and unrooting process? Or this is a setting in my email or gmail app?
The problem is that I really don't know where to look :-/
