Hi all,
I have set up my hotmail account on my Samsung S3 however, when I delete an email on my phone I do not want it deleted from the Hotmail server. Is there an option to do this or is it just tough
Thanks
No takers?

You set it on the Hotmail account itself. Log in from a desktop computer and go into POP3 settings - you should be able to find a setting in there that allows you to decide whether to delete emails from the server when they're deleted from the device.
Mmmm thanks for the reply but I have tried that. Seems once you delete them from the S3 they are deleted from Hotmail also. On most other devices there is an option to stop deletion from the server.
Any other help?
Depends what sort of account you've set up on the phone. If it's POP3, the method I've described above will work - however if you're using Exchange / Activesync, since that sort of account is direct sync, there is no option to leave mail on the server when you delete from the device as far as I know.
That's the one. Thanks chap. Now I've done it I am not sure I prefer the POP3 setup BUT at least I have the option.

Newbie here having trouble with Remote Tracker 0.4.2-0 on my TMOUS HD2 and haven't found an answer yet. When I send email commands to RT, such as rt2#egp, my phone just sits there in standby and when I unlock it Outlook is open with the email message ready to send. Anyone have an idea why and what I need to do? When I go to Outlook Contacts>Menu>Options I get an error report, "A problem has occurred with poutlook.exe," then comes up with List view settings, that's it, I don't know if there is supposed to be more and not sure if this has anything to do with the message not being sent. Everything is stock except for a few added apps and I just did a hard reset before reinstalling my apps after some experimentation. I don't use Outlook or even set up an email account on phone and haven't made any tweaks I can think of that would effect Outlook.
I also noticed that the CELLID shows me to be in New Jersey when I'm actually in Texas, this doesn't seem to be of much use at all but I haven't tried changing CELLID settings from default.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

ummm,,, if you have no email set up, how do you expect it to send you an email?

I thought commands where you supply an email address (like, rt2#egp#[email protected]#password) would, if so configured, silently without intervention send to the supplied email addy without even having email setup in RT; however, I do have the email account in RT configured; I do not have Outlook, AOL, Yahoo, etc accounts set up in the HD2s mail app (I use Opera to go to my Hotmail account).
In RT's email setup I have only one option under Account, Activesync, is this correct?

no, you need an actual account set up that the phone can use to connect to an outgoing email server with. Just feeding it the email address you want to use is no good, as it has no m,eans to send to that address. Its a bit like giving a man with no telephone your phone number ad asking him to call you.
Choosing the activesync account wouldnt help either, as it would only send when the phone was copnnected and synced to outlook on a pc. (activesync isnt a real account, just an extension of teh outlook account on eth pc)

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.
This htc email app is pissing me off . I check my email online at home and on my phone when I am out like normal people. When I read and delete an email when I am at home on my comp, it is... or should be... removed off the server and all is well. However, the emails still show on my phone after syncing. Is there a way for emails to be automatically removed on your phone after being read or deleted off the server?

It all depends on how your email is setup. Are you using POP/SMTP? Exchange?
If you are using POP/SMTP, you need to make sure that your settings on your computer is set to delete off server when you delete from inbox.
A little more info on what email provider you have and what setup you have at home will help with getting you the correct answer.

Thanks for the reply. I am using POP hotmail account. Ill have to check my settings at home when I get there.
Hotmail (POP3) downloads the email from its server on to your phone. So it has a copy saved there no matter where else you delete it. IMAP saves the email only on the server and you can access it from multiple places without having multiple copies saved.
Not sure about hotmail, but GMail has the option to use POP3 or IMAP. See if there is any settings for it on your hotmail account

I am using Samsung Galaxy i9100 generic email app.
When setting up the email accounts with IMAP I noticed that the SENT folder on the phone is not properly synced. Actually, it is not synced at all.
I tried to put the path prefix INBOX and also Inbox but without any improvement.
Any ideas how to sync properly the SENT folder?
It sounds as though you have let the phone set up a POP account. What is the e-mail account (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc) so we can check your settings?
If you add a folder in the webmail version, does it appear in the phone email client when you sync folders?
I'm not sure if this is your issue, but I don't think the built-in email app supports IMAP IDLE. IOW, it does not automatic real time sync or push email from the server. You need to actively check mail or set the app to automatically check on an interval. If you want real time sync you may want to try an app like K9.
@fred_up
I did the manual setup where I have chosen the IMAP-setup.
The email account is not Gmail, Yahoo or any of these publicly available accounts. It is an account that I set up on a shared hosting server. The account does work properly e.g. with K9
@GeorgeP
The sync of the Inbox does work perfectly. Very good is the schedule sync feature that the Samsung email app offers. What currently does not sync (not even manually) is the SENT folder of the Samsung email app with the IMAP account.
The principal question is:
how can I change that sent emails are stored in the Imap folder "INBOX.sent" and not in the Samsung folder "Sent", using Samsung's email app?
Hi there, i am trying to add a hotmail account to my galaxy tab and when i use the automatic setup all i get is ms exchange and i dont want that i already have another hotmail account that i have added before and it worked well ot added a normal pop account, now i tried to copy the settings for the ingoing and the outgoing server and use them, but it always gives me 'could not connect to server' when setting the outgoing mail. Any thoughts why it is doing that? I just want to have a normal pop account just like the other hotmail that i have.
P.s: i know that there is a hotmail app but i dont like it and id really like to use the phones email.
Thanks!
