I know how to set up my gmail inbox working with outlook but how do i get my folders working? for example i have certain emails in my saved folder, but it's always empty.
one solution is to get Gmail for mobile - separate app in java, works ok under jblend, folders supported
In you Gmail settings via your computer, is your settings/Forwarding and pop/imap on?
There are configuration settings for other mail handlers in there too.
When you go to the mobile and you are at the mail (No Mail etc) on the Gmail click on the in box, then menu, send receive. This will then pull in all the folders that you are showing on the computer Gmail. So they are now on the mobile.
Folders
I cant view email in folders either, I have IMAP switched on and I have filters which skip my inbox to sort email but only my inbox mail is visible - I can see my folders but they are empty....
Any solutions?
Cheers!

Same with activesync or imap - folders all show, but only inbox contains emails. If I move an email to another folder it correctly moves it in gmail, but as soon as sync'd disappears from folder on phone. Would be good to see all emails, but I assume this is specifically blocked (to avoid you accidentally downloading 7GB of emails to phone!)
How do i upload my phone contacts to gmail???
i have gmail synced but my phone contacs are not getting uploaded to gmail. the addresses from gmail do come to my phone.
but my contacts are being uploaded.
same thing with my calender
When you select edit contact if it shows as 'Phone (PC Sync)' then that means it wont be synced with gmail. You need to upload the contacts in csv format to gmail via a PC and then enable contact sync on the phone.

In contacts, filter the view to only show phone and sdcard contacts. One of the menu options will export contacts to sdcard. Once that is complete, import from sdcard will prompt you to chose phone our gmail.
When you create a contact make sure to select gmail contact at the beginning. That prevents any problems in the first place.

how to delete gmail contacts in samsung galaxy S II? I don't see Gmail Contacts in contact list but when I goto MSG and see numbers I see them there.I have deleted all the Contacts from Gmail but I still see them.How to delete them?
Don't allow gmail to synchronize your contacts. If you still have them, go to contact options and allow the phone to show every contact you have and delete the gmail ones.

Ok Thanks
How to delete the email registered during setup because I want to change to another account. Will the original email contacts be erased if I change to another email address?
Many thanks.
I don't know if you can delete it via the menu, but anyway, a wipe is required. If you have it rooted, use Titanium Backup just in case.
And if your contacts are synced with your Google Account, you will lose those, so be sure to put them on your SIM/other service.
And yes, email contact swill be also deleted.
I think you can delete a file with root explorer
@kadji: How you would do this ...?

What kind of email app do you mean? Original GMail or Email or K9 mail?
The contacts on a android phone are synchronized with your Gmail (google) account.
Your phone is bound to one google account. If you want to change this account, it will have a massive impact on your phone (mail, calendar, contacts, market).
If you mean only a mail account on email app, you can delete a account in the settings of this app or add one. This will have no impact on your contacts.
Man if he want to remove Google account he have to delete a specify file with root explorer, i dont remember the name but i can google later

accounts.db should do it. The telephone will create a new accounts.db. or he can rename framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.bak and then rename it back again to framework-res.apk. That should also do the trick.
At least these to worked on my Xperia Arc. Havn't tried them on my Arc S nor Tablet S
I have a guide for it here on my computer.
Is it not much easier to delete the account via
'settings -> Accounts & Sync ->'
than open the account and choose 'Delete Account' in the upper right corner?

It's the email built-in of the tablet, I think I can delete it in the Setting - Account and Sync.
Thanks to all for your advices.
Yeah, settings -> Accounts & Sync -> Select account and click Remove Account should clear out the account and all the sync settings. Then you can choose Add Account and add your new one.
The reason I want to delete the original email, a gmail, is that the pictures in my Picasa are all uploaded to the tablet automatically! Is there a way to bypass this or there is some setting I need to do with the tablet/gmail account?
P.s. I can't delete those picasa album in the tablet.
@kermit33
I know this problem ... I have had the same in the past ...
I was confused wherefrom my smartphone 'knows' same very old pictures ...
The reason was ... from Picasa sync ...
(I have a German tablet, so I hope my translation of the needed steps are correct)
Go to ....
Settings -> Accounts & sync
choose your google account withe a "touch"
than you will find a list with checkbox and all google services
one of them should be 'Picasa Web-album'
Disable the checkbox .. and is done.
Thanks obicom.
I have tried that already but the Pisaca pictures are still in the tablet and can't be deleted. I think the pictures are synced to my device when I first set up my email account.
Hmm ... you should be able to delete the pictures
Do you have root access an a tool like Root Explorer?
The pictures are physical files on your sd card and must be deletable.
Maybe not from the gallery but with file explorer?
Could you try again and post the error message?
Keep me informed please.

In Settings -> Accounts and Sync -> Gmail Account, you can just uncheck the Picasa Web Albums options and they should stop syncing automatically.

Please see post #12.
I use imap email accounts on the s3 and have no problems with the accounts except on this phone. When I send email from my s3 using the stock app it creates a new 'Sent Items' folder on the server where it stores email, and the same for items I delete. I've never used an app or email program on any platform that does not allow you to set which server folders are for sent and which are for deleted messages so I'm sure hoping someone can tell me I'm just missing that here!!
Thanks in advance
