Can one of you nice people explain to me on how I set up my emails to sync together. My host site who has my domain and website have a £5.99 monthly charge for Outlook Sync, but I'm guessing if I don't want calendar and contacts and only Inbox and Sent items to sync up on phone and PC, then IMAP should do this? Is there any other difference??
I've tried IMAP on the phone but it only received two emails when there were 5 going to PC, Not only that but the second one overwrote the first one and it completely disappeared. And there was no copy in my sent box on the PC after replying from phone, and what do I need for security etc... None/SSL etc?
My PC is set up as POP, and is Outlook 2002 OK for this and if so please can you tell me how I do this? I really can't afford to mess up my emails in Outlook as it's work.
I set up a personal one in the GMail account in programmes really easily and that does what it says on the tin, but the other one is a nightmare,
Sorry, but you'll have to talk to me like an idiot, as I've never received email on my phone before, let alone Android phones.
Thanks for your help
Nobody can help?
Peter,
Are you asking how to have both your PC inbox/sent items look exactly like the inbox/sent items on your Hero?
As far as I know that's not possible unless you use IMAP on both PC and Hero - but I think you know that already.
Are you able to switch Outlook to IMAP (probably means re-creating the email account and copying mails around - I've forgotten how to do this in Outlook 2002)?
When you talk about the mails not corresponding between PC and Hero what do the POP3 settings look like on your PC? It's not doing anything silly like removing the mail, etc?
Sorry I don't have a specific answer to your question but I figure we can sort it out!

if your outlook is set to POP, have you set it to leave a copy of the message on the server (Somewhere in the email account settings, i can't remember where on 2002, but the help files are your friends in this case). if not, POP will REMOVE the message from the server when you download it to your PC. hence it will not be available on the phone.
change your outlook to imap, or set it to leave messages on the server and then you can have the same emails on the phone as on your PC. that is they way you have needed to do it to get this since pocket pc 2000.
Hi guys, thanks for your reply,
Obviously I don't want all the emails that are already in Outlook on the phone, but Basically, when I'm out I want to be able to answer emails that will have copies on the PC for when I get back, including the replys.
Even when PC was off I only got one to the phone, and the rest still went to PC when I switched on later. I thought if the PC was off, they would have come to the phone regardless?
My POP settings on Outlook are mail.mydomainname, smtp.mydomainname.
Does the 'leave copy of messages on server' work on IMAP and POP and if both, that wouldn't include replies from phone would it? Are there any disadvantages to leave copies on server? How does it work, when you get back and open outlook does it update sent items as well as the inbox?
al it does is leave the message on the server so that it is available for other devices, instead of being removed from the server.
you don;t need it for imap as imap leaves them in place anyway (or at least it usually does)
if you're using imap, then yes, you should get the sent items, but if using POP, then no, normally you wouldn't.
Thanks for that, any idea how I set up IMAP in Outlook, is it just a case of imap.domain name, smtp. domainname .... and it starts another folder inbox? What do you do with the POP one?
Hi all,
Recently purchased a Samsung Nexus S. The stock email client (not the GMail app), using POP3 will delete mails once they have been downloaded, or when I next sync. Occasionally it will not delete all mails, just some. The option to delete from the server is not ticked and no other clients are pulling from the server, so its not the case that another app is deleting them. To confirm, emails aren't being deleted after say 10 days, they are being deleted within minutes, and I'm only downloading a handful of mails.
Any help much appreciated- all forum posts seem to relate to other clients consuming from the server and deleting mails, which isnt my issue. Cheers.
Andy
If I remember correctly, POP email servers are linked between the mobile device and the regular computer. If you delete something on the computer it will be deleted on the phone and vice versa. If this isn't the case, are you sure they're being deleted and not hidden do to being marked as read? Check the trash to see if they've been sent there.
Thanks for the reply.
Messages are not being moved to any visible folders, and no other client (ie Outlook) are accessing this mail server.
Thanks.
OK, I kind of resolved this, if it helps anyone.
Firstly, I tried a different POP3 and also an IMPA provider with the mail client - both work fine, no problems. Then I recalled that my mail provider (Virgin Media UK) have recently advised that it is necessary to put 'recent:' ahead of the POP3 username, making it 'recent:[email protected]'. Now the default mail client won't allow this format of username, presumably some internal validation on the client side does not permit it.
So I tried K9 Mail - this behaves the same way with the standard POP3 username, but with the 'recent:' prefix (which it allows) my mails aren't deleted every time I pull from the server. My thoughts are that without the 'recent:' prefix, Virgin Media only returns the new mails - as the default mail client syncs with the server on a 1:1 relationship, it then deletes all old messages (even if they are only a few seconds old). With 'recent:' I think Virgin Media supplies a whole chunk of recent emails, not just the new ones, and the client app essentially doesn't delete the older mails until the time I happen to sync and they are no longer classed as 'recent'.
So in summary, there is no fix for the built-in client - but a workaround is to use K9, which seems a better client anyway. What's most ironic is that Virgin Media's email service uses Google Mail. Oh dear...
I've got a question, and I'm not entirely sure this is the best place to put it. But here goes.
My company provides email services for several other small companies. This email system allows you to access email using pop3 with Outlook, your mobile phone, or webmail.
We have had no problems with this before when using mobile mail applications. Recently a company we provide services for got all new Samsung GSIIIs.... we've had issues with them since then.
So, for example... one customer has outlook set up with pop3 and also mobile mail set up with pop3. The webmail is also using pop3. So when the mobile device is synced and has all of their messages, I send a test email to the account. If I go to the message on the phone and delete it, it stays on the server and can be accessed on outlook and webmail later on. If i go to the message on webmail and delete it, it deletes off of the phone AND webmail, but not outlook. It will not save an email to the phone,,,, EVER.
It's as if the GSIII is using a mail app that just uses the webmail server settings, and only syncs with the mail server... or something of the sort.
We have it set to keep the message on the server, so that's not the issue.
This ONLY happens on the GSIII, we have tested the same accounts having the issues on iPhones, my droid RAZR, other windows phones... I'm at a wits end on this one.
I've also tried using K-9 mail app, same results.
Greets all,
Was wondering if anyone might have this issue. I setup my phone to grab my emails, I set it up as an IMAP so that this way I could get the emails but keep it on the server, so this way I can download it on my computer into outlook later on. Up until the One max, I never had an issue and always set it up the same way, I recently just noticed that after I read a email and if I delete it from the phone it seems to delete it off the server as well. I tested this out by sending myself an email and then deleting it, then going into outlook to receive the email but it wasnt there. If I got into the server its in the deleted folder and not in the inbox as it should be.
Anyone else notice this?
Well I just tried something else, I just set it up as a POP account, and it works as IMAP, Hmmm I wonder if they messed up and named them wrong, where Imap is suppose to be pop and pop is suppose to be IMAP.
Still curious to see others responses.
When i click Add account, it shows Other(POP/IMAP)
Screen shot attached for your reference, what do you get?
Same thing except I dont have Gmail or Yahoo in the list, just the other three, but thats not where the problem is, its after you pick Other/pop3. Long story short: I have my own email, I set it up through aol a long time ago when they were giving away domain names for free, then they dropped it and I had to get it registered through another place to keep it, but I still can use aol's mail settings in outlook to get me mail. The problem is I can see the email on aol's site, and download it to my outlook, but the first way I set it up on the phone I would see it on the phone and then delete it, when I go into outlook it would say no mail, but if I went to aol's site and looked in the trash it was in there where its not suppose to be, its suppose to be in the inbox to be downloaded to my outlook. But when I changed the setting to pop setting, it is working as Imap should.

Ah okay, i got your problem... i don't know why imagined that you PC was missing IMAP, but was that not the IMAP was supposed to work..., 2 way communication = IMAP
POP vs IMAP
If you're trying to decide between using POP and IMAP, we encourage you to use IMAP.
Unlike POP, IMAP offers two-way communication between your web Gmail and your email client. This means when you log in to Gmail using a web browser, actions you perform on email clients and mobile devices (ex: putting mail in a 'work' folder) will instantly and automatically appear in Gmail (ex: it will already have a 'work' label on that email the next time you sign in).
IMAP also provides a better method to access your mail from multiple devices. If you check your email at work, on your mobile phone, and again at home, IMAP ensures that new mail is accessible from any device at any given time.
Finally, IMAP offers a more stable experience overall. Whereas POP is prone to losing messages or downloading the same messages multiple times, IMAP avoids this through two-way syncing capabilities between your mail clients and your web Gmail.

Okay you missed the whole point here. When I chose IMAP with my email on my phone, and then delete it from the inbox (select and hit trash can) its suppose to delete from the phone inbox, but should show up as new in my outlook 2010 on my pc as new. It doesnt show up at all. If I go to a web browser and login into my email, its in my trash folder and not in my inbox as it should be.
Now if I change the setting on the phone FROM IMAP to POP, THEN is works correctly as IMAP.
they way i have always thought of imap to work is , as the other poster mentioned: 2 way communication.
if i delete mail on the phone (imap), then on my web based email, that same email will be deleted there.
if i move an email from , say, inbox to some other folder on my phone, then on the server it too will get moved there.
this is how imap is supposed to work? at least that is how it has worked for me over the years...
i have 4 email accounts on my own email server. i use gmail to fetch that mail and i also use my web based interface to access it. the mail is synced everywhere its supposed to be.
i have the all set to imap, not pop.

me too... yes that's how IMAP works, i am guessing OP has some little confusion on it..
I do understand this, but coming from a samsung galaxy note, this wasnt the case. On computers it did work this way, but every phone I've had and including the Note did not work this way, this is the first time its functioning this way, which I thought was odd.
I have inherited a phone and would like to put a custom rom on, but before I do, the previous owner would like the emails off it.
The phone (not rooted) is running Lollypop (5.1.1) and the stock email version 8.0 and has nearly 7000 emails that have been pulled down with pop3. The emails are no longer on the server.
I am looking at a way to get these emails off the phone and into a format that I can use elsewhere. The owner of these emails wants them on Outlook ultimately, but I am open to any method such as transfer to IMAP, or import into Thunderbird just to access them off the phone.
I have tried installing an IMAP account alongside, but when trying to move emails I get the message POP emails cannot be moved. I also thought of backing up, but I cannot access the data directory.
Any ideas? Thanks
