I am sure my SGS3 used to show all my folders in email. Since the OTA update I am only getting the Inbox.
Have checked settings and pressed show all folders but still only the Inbox comes up.
Any help much appreciated.

I installed Enhance Email from the market. It gave me the functions needed to do batch deletes, batch moves, etc with the "select all" option. Its by QuantumSolutions. There should be a trial version on their web site if not a free version in the market.
Hi Rico,
THank you for the reply and recommendation. Seems like you had to buy another app to enhance the current limitations in the stock email app in the android platform. My problem is my trash folder shows i have 7 undeleted emails inside but when i open it there is nothing inside. Its really annoying and frustrating that the stock email in the Dell 5 is unable to do even simple functions like bulk delete or move or transfer. In my case , i don't have that many emails on the Dell as i clean up the trash folder every day but I cannot understand why these 7 emails can remain hidden in the folder and i am unable to delete it. Its weird. Since the emails are hidden i'm not sure even if the Enhance Mail can delete these hidden emails. Appreciate any help anyone can give to solve my problem.
Cheers.
Hi Herojam
have you logged on at the client side and erased the emails from the trash bin, then perhaps remove the account from the streak and reinstalling? Could just be a minor glitch where reloading the account may clear it upA?
Hi Rico,
Yes i managed to clear the hidden emails by deleting and removing the account and then recreating the account again. The hidden emails have gone. Thank you for the tip.
Looks like there was a glitch as you mentioned.
Cheers.

Great, sometimes that happens. The android environment is really nice. Like itover windows mobile for sure. Even though we get the basic layers of functionality, thats the beauty of it, it allows you to add on apps, etc that makes your android unique. The enhance email is just one of various ways you can manage emails and multi accounts.
Hi all, I would like to know why is it unable to delete message in inbox after 2.3 update? whenever I choose delete option it only delete the conversation but the contact number still appear in the inbox list. Anyone face the same?
besides of that, it's impossible for me to sync contact details from FB, only contact birthday shown in the contact info but profile picture never appear. why is it so?
really appreciate if anyone can help me on these issues.
I had the same issue of not being able to delete messages after the 2.3 update. So, I deleted everything in my inbox at once, and it seemed to fix the problem. Now when I delete individual messages, they're gone without leveing that empty shell.
I have some of the sync issues, it picks and chooses which contact it wants to sync... Let me know if you get an answer. ;-)
This is driving me mad. I'm running Gmail 2.3.5. When I delete a message from Gmail on a PC this doesn't happen. It only happens when I delete from the device.
Basically whenever I delete a message I get a new notification and there's no new message. It took a while before I realised that it was tying into deletions because I get so many mails.
I checked my settings. It is set to sync the last 4 days and only on Inbox and Sent labels. It's also only set to notify once for new mail which does work. I've also never had any other email apps on the phone and have one account syncing.
I've scoured the settings but I seriously can't see anything I'm missing. There is a "Recycle Bin" label that is only on the device and I can't see that you can control syncing on it since it's not listed in the settings.
I'm sure I'm overlooking something simple here. I'd appreciate any help.
as title says, i cant for the life of me figure out how to get rid of the email history of contacts that are not even on my phone.
i have accidently typed emails wrong before, and other peoples addresses from CC's, or 1 time random emails that i dont want saved with the same name as other people always show up.
if you hold the contact button down in the recipient tab you get a list of previously sent email contact logs, how do i delete those logs?
thanks
Clear data on the email app ?
I'm guessing tho. I don't use the email app, and this may delete stuff you might want to keep I.E saved email on your phone. Maybe make sure you have those emails in your account to download again/don't try this if the only copies of those emails you have saved are on your phone or you don't have them backed up.
success!
i stopped the email app and cleared the data, i had to reinstall my accounts but that was np.
the annoying autofill has reset itself so thats solved that problem, however when i press the contacts button to see the logs list its still the same as before with all the unwanted names listed.
i searched the net and i cant find an answer to clearing that list anywhere, so i dont suppose you can and we are stuck with it. i even wiped my phone before installing ICS and that hasnt cleared it. seems very wierd that theres noway to get rid of it
anyway thanks for your help mate
Need to find some way to DISABLE repeating email notifications...as in I keep getting repeated "new" email notifications for the same email until another, newer email comes in...I've even got notifications clicked off in the settings menu and I am still getting notifications.
Any ideas? Running Clean ROM right now, but it was happening on Novella Dos as well...one of the reasons I switched over to CR...it is quite maddening.
Thanks in advance!

do you have it configured as IMAP or POP3??

Go into your email, go to settings, and Uncheck "Email Notifications" I am running AOSP Email, but it should be similar.

thats the problem. POP3 will show a notification on any unread email. also, if you r deleting the email from the phone, you may not be deleting it from the server. POP3 gives you the option to change this in the incoming server settings. when inside the incoming server settings, you will see at the bottom that there is an option that says what the phone should do when you delete an email from the phone. if you delete it from the phone only, the email will still exist on the server. this will cause multiple notifications of the same email, even if it is marked as read.
a couple solutions:
1: if you ARE NOT deleting the emails and getting duplicate notifications, switch the account to an IMAP config. (every email host i have had gives you both options: IMAP or POP3)
2: if you ARE deleting the emails and the Incoming server setting is set to "Delete email from server: Never", you will need to change that to "When i delete from inbox". otherwise, you will have to deal with duplicate notifications. NOTE: IF YOU DELETE THE EMAIL OFF OF THE SERVER, ANY OTHER PLACE THE EMAIL IS STORED (I.E.: HOME COMPUTER, TABLET, ETC.) WILL ALSO DELETE OFF OF THOSE DEVICES.
you should also know that when deleting an email with an IMAP config will automatically delete it off of the server. IMAP will also show when you have viewed or replied to an email across all devices that are signed into the same email address as IMAP.

Thanks for the detailed response...I don't know what to say really; the problem has only happened recently, say last few weeks. I finally got fed up with it and sought a resolution.
I switch roms frequently, so I have to set up accounts frequently enough to know what is checked and my settings are default, always the same. So why the change? I guarantee I could power up my Rezound and the settings would be the same...and I never had this problem before.
Doesn't matter if the emails are read or not. Right now I have notifications off and the problem still is occurring. If I delete an email then I'm still notified for the next newest.
And last but not least, the problem has followed me across different roms. Thought it was specific to one as I had used that rom for several weeks. So maybe it is something server side. Can't configure Knology(now WOW) for IMAP, I tried. Besides, I refuse to check 'delete from server' because there are emails I need to keep that need attention from my home PC. I can change sync settings to longer periods or off, but that is not really feasible either.
So bottom line is, I just don't get it.
**Update** Not sure exactly what fixed it as I did multiple things in a short period, but the problem no longer exists. Unticked, rebooted, reticked notifications and all is good. Also loaded a different rom from bachup, but that was before I did above steps. Who knows??:fingers-crossed:
