I know this is an old issue but I've been searching a while and cant resolve it ,
my s3 continually downloads old emails and I've no idea how to sort it ,
I'm using a pop3 server as I like to leave my mail on the server ,
I gave K-9 a go , it was slightly better but still downloads old email
Not sure if this is helpful but I solved that issue by going to web mail in a browser and marking all old items as read. That way, the pop client only pulls new messages.

hey everyone, I followed the instructions (the iphone) on how to get push email and it was working last night and most of today but tonight all i seem to be getting in connection problems even though i'm connected via wifi/ hsdpa and also not all my emails ( i only have 7 in there) aren't being pushed nor being sent when i try to get them, is anyone else having these problems at the moment?? is there another way to get real push email for gmail that isn't using the gmail which i don't like??
I've got my Google Mails (for Apps) account set up via activesync as well. It was working nicely until December 4th. Now when syncing it looks like everything worked fine, no error messages etc but it doesn't pick up any new mail. I've had to resort to the mobile web version of Gmail which isn't ideal.
well from what I understand alot of people are having problems, one simple solution which is working for me is to have only the last 30 days of emails as my settings
This has been happening for as long as I can remember on various ROMs and versions.
Once I add my Hotmail account, when I go to settings -> incoming and select to delete messages from the server when I delete from the phone, the app FCs.
Anyone else notice this/know what's going on?
I don't use Hotmail but every now and again someone sends to the account and it ends up getting ignored. Would be nice to be notified but not a big deal at all!
Not the answer to your problem, but this is what I do.
I just go to www.hotmail.com in the browser. Keep yourself logged in, and when you're logged in, add that page to your bookmarks. That way you can access it fast by opening your browser and the mobile hotmail page looks better than the email app I think.
Ofcourse, you won't get notified when you get new mail.
Thanks for the suggestion - but not really what I'm after.
I would literally get 1 message every 4 or 5 months and it's usually one I'd like to have known about 3 months before remembering to check hotmail.
More than anything it'd be good to know if this happens for everyone else or just me
Have you set up Hotmail as POP3?

Hi,
I am trying to delete emails from my IMAP account an my SGSII (Samsung stock emailing programm).
Now my problem is that all emails I delete once just reappear the next time I sync with my IMAP account. So its simply impossible to delete emails on my phone.
This problem also exists on the GalaxyTab as far as I know.
Hotmail works fine(but hotmail doesnt use IMAP as far as I know).
One simple solution would be to just not use the samsung emailing program. I tried K9 today, but I kinda dont like the fact that it doesnt come with an widget. I also like the stock program better.
Any clue what I am doing wrong?
its also not possible to open most attachments directly from inside the emailing application(.pdf,.jpg etc.).
It does work occationally but must of the time it doesnt.
Solved:
Not using Polaris Office did the trick for me.

How did you resolve the IMAP email problem? I'm experiencing the same behaviour. Gmail IMAP works fine (with the stock email client, not the stock Gmail client). However, my work email which is IMAP doesn't work correctly.
I simply stopped using the stock program.
And now I kinda started to love K9.
But K9 didn't get along with my hotmail account(it has no IMAP;always redownloaded old emails;I had a data usage of 200mb in one day^^) so I started to auto. redirect all my mails to gmail. That works flawless til now.
oh man, same here!
I use the same settings on Nexus One, V880 or even Ipod Touch, both works except SG2! any clue yet?
No I didnt find no solution.
I am happy with K9 now .

Apparently using POP instead of IMAP, you have the option to delete from the server... Of course IMAP is supposed to do this anyway, but worth considering POP - especially if the other advantages of IMAP are of no interest to you.
Personally, folder synchronisation means nothing if it can't even sync deleted emails...
I tried to chase this up with Samsung support, but of course they're useless... It's obviously a software bug, but they suggested a reflash and then trip to the service centre if that doesn't fix it...
We all know a trip to the service centre will certainly not fix it if a reflash wont...
Curiously, I've got a VHA ROM on my phone, and wondering what everyone else has, presuming it might be an issue in the branded ROM, but not in the generic ROM...
I'm sure I'm not the only one who cares, but I did a little bit of research, and although it doesn't seem to help, there's setting the IMAP path prefix (usually 'INBOX'), which should direct deleted emails into INBOX.Trash as opposed to the android Trash folder, and therefore delete them off the server.
Sadly, trying 20 variations, I still couldn't get it to work... but it might work with your email provider (just didn't with mine)
If all else fails, and you really want to use the Samsung email app (which I do, since K9 does not have activesync Exchange support - only the other one, which doesn't help me), instead of deleting emails, just go: Menu/Move to Folder/INBOX.Trash - this is the same as what Delete should be doing...
Hope that helps somewhat...
same issue: any solution found yet?
hi guys.just bought galxy tab 10.1 and it looks really nice.
I v been having a problem in setting up email accounts though.
Whenever i try to add an account(yahoo account for example)i get wrong username or password message all the time.if i try manually i get the messag:cannot execute sensitive command.....
I have setup my email accounts on my Ssamsung galaxy S II without any problem
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance
username on email changing
Hi I have same problem with live mail account, it keeps changing user name, did you solve the problem?
email connection problem
Hi I have the same problem but with live mail. It keeps changing the user name and causing a connection error to come up. Did you solve your problem?
not yet still trying to short it out.very frustrating to be honest
Try this
Hi like you pretty frustrated so went back to basics and onto Hotmail Q&A only to find out I needed to use a different email set up from that I use on a computer as this is a mobile device. Guess that makes me daft for not thinking of that but hey we all got to learn. Anyway set up now using the windows live mail help under setting up email on a mobile device and it appears to be working. Hope that helps.:
thank you for the tips
Is it the same with yahoomail and tne other email accounts?
hi, are you guys using the native Android email client? if so, I would also highly recommend K9 Mail/Kaiten Mail.
Sent from my SGH-T839
yup tryed that too and still getting same problems
Don't know about yahoo but I see there is an android downloadable app for yahoo? Also there is an interesting trail on android forum regarding yahoo email setup which might help. Hope you get it working.
I had a bit of a prob when seeting up the stock email and turned out it was because of user name, You must set up your user name just as it says.
If i remember right (dont have my tab with me now) it ask for your user name and must be
your domain/username
like : earthlink.net/rick
maybe this will help.
thank you i ll try that aswell
Weard though that i had no probs on my samsung galaxy s and its a pain on my tab....
Hi all. Having been with yahoo for many many (often tiring) years, sadly this isn't a new thing, it's something that comes and goes seemingly based on the whims of yahoo deciding to change their settings, potentially to try to herd users onto their (awful) mail app. Anyway, problem:
All of a sudden, my account (yahoo plus, imap) and my mothers (yahoo basic, pop) have stopped receiving emails on our 2 android phones (samsung S3 with latest ICS, & HTC wildfire with whatever was before ICS, respectively). I've read a number of forums with various suggestions, including:
- clear the app cache
- change to a different server: most suggest imap.mail.yahoo.com but others suggest imap.n.mail.yahoo.com, imap.android.mail.yahoo.com, one suggests using IMAP4 (don't know how to select this)
- delete account & reinstall
None of these work. Peversely, I AM getting emails through on imap.mail.yahoo.com, but very intermittently. I'll notice that, e.g. overnight, I'll have gotten most of yesterday's, but if i click for a manual refresh it'll fail. Likewise if I set myself up for imap.mail.yahoo.com, it'll check the settings & be ok, but then give a connection error.
My mum's phone is a slightly different problem: she can log in fine through the internet, but her username/password combo fails for pop access through the stock email app. She's a .co.uk address, & i'm wondering if this is the reason for the problem. I suspect it's just that yahoo is having a problem.
Any thoughts appreciated for both of these - potentially connected - problems.
Cheers
Dez

Address any prompts or issues you see when signing in on a desktop before trying to sign in on a third-party email app, then send a test message.
Sign in to Yahoo Mail from a web browser.
Compose a new email and add your own address in the "To" field.
Send the email.
Wait up to five minutes to see if it arrives.
Confirm app is configured with the correct POP settings or IMAP settings for Yahoo Mail. Sometimes even if the info seems correct, the data the app saved could be corrupt or contain hidden invalid characters. Delete your Yahoo account from the app and re-add it to be sure. If you need specific instructions for your app, contact its manufacturer.
