I am currently using K9 email which seems to be the least bad app for POP3
This has a global config for server deletion (POP).
It is useful, when travelling, to got rid of unwanted emails there and then. Is there an email app which, when you delete an email, it prompts if you want to delete from the server also?
I have had apps previously which did that, on Symbian and Windows, but don't know of any for Android or IOS.
Another solution is an app which downloads headers only; these exist for Windows and usually have a server delete option. Such an app is handy anyway, in case somebody has sent you a 20MB email while you are roaming But I have never found one for Android. It must be dead easy to write...
Or of course one could install a second email app which is configured for server deletion and just run that for this purpose, but that's stupid.
Another solution for cleaning up the mailbox is to use webmail...
I don't think anybody reads this forum but in case somebody finds this on google, I can confirm Maildroid does exactly that I wanted.

I have a .mac account setup using IMAP4 protocols. However, it's asking for a send and receive schedule on the phone. Am I wrong in assuming that whenever there is a change to the IMAP server, that change is sent to the phone, i.e. new email???
I have email on the server and it doesn't get to the phone until the send and receive schedule executes. So, my question then is what is the point in IMAP?
Anyone have any experience with this?
Well from what I'm seeing it's WM...yay?
From what I've found, yeah. It's just a limitation of pocket outlook to not support/use IMAP IDLE. You still get the advantages of folders, etc stored on the server, just no idle/push like you would on a desktop client. there are 3rd party e-mail programs that do support IDLE, though I haven't tried any of them myself. Perhaps some others may have suggestions on a more fully feature IMAP client, perhaps even one that integrates well into TF3D?
Well crap.
We switched everything over to Mac a year or so ago. Getting my MobileMe account to work "properly" on the TP is becoming a PITA. Worked great with the iPhone though, DUH...
I signed into Windows Live on my phone and set up my live.com email address, and changed some of the settings. It's working very similar to an exchange account, which is what I was after anyway. I even closed the Windows Live program and it still works, so I'm assuming that its settings are server based.
Anyhoo...I have exchange email for work on the phone, and now "exchange-like" email for personal use. Anyone want to buy a MobileMe account???

I've been using SEVEN BETA. Since it's in perpetual beta it's free. It fully integrates into TF3D, is very easy to set up, and reliable. It is the same program that Sprint and ATT use for their E-mail setup. I don't know how to add a link on here so google it.

Is there a way to replicate subfolders for a corporate active sync? Android is the only OS I know of that does not allow subfolder replication native to the APP. Touchdown you can do this, so I'm sure there's a way to make the default app do this. Just hate the idea of having to pay $20 for something that really should be built into the stock app.

Seems like most here don't have much experience with your problem, myself included.
Did some searching and found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-800472.html
Doesn't seem like there's any popular free alternatives (best bet will be k9 email for free, but not sure how well it will help your situation), but this will at least point you in the right direction and give you a few things to check out.
I know roadsync is half the cost of touchdown.

Not sure exactly what you mean.
My subfolders and their contents show up fine.
I do know that the emails that fall outside your sync date range will not show up, but that is not due to them being in a subfolder.
Now, if you have a client rule on Outlook that moves a message to a different folder, that may not work because your phone receives messages directly from Exchange, not your Outlook client. If your phone gets it first and you read it before Outlook gets it, Outlook may not process the rule, and thus the message may not move to the desired subfolder.
My phone using the default ROM rooted of course and using the standard email.apk shows all sub-folders on my inbox on both my corporate active-sync email as well as my home IMAP server.
Or are we missing what your asking for? Or like the previous person said do you have REALLY old email in there? If so just change your date range.
Also remember that some exchange servers "enforce date range max's" this is to put less load on their servers.
Here's what I'm trying to convey. I have several teams around the nation and have subfolders under my inbox for each team member. I have rules on the Exchange server that allows when someone to send me an email, the email goes righ to the right folder. On Blackberry, iPhone, and WM, I've been able to go into settings, tell it that I want it to 'push' email for those folders, so that when someone emails me and Exchange moves the folder for me automatically, I still know about it on my phone.
With the default email app on the Androids, I can go into my folders, but it's like a manual push. So if I want to see if I have any new email from one of the team members, I have to manually pick that folder and wait for it to sync. If I have new email, it shows up. If not, I just see the old stuff from the last time I synced it.
In Touchdown, you can pick which folders in replicate in settings. Anytime I get new email that is moved to those folders, I still get a notification that I have new email, can access the email instantly, and don't have to manually move the email to the appropriate folder. Does that clarify things a little better? Thanks.
Hi. Is there a known glitch with the Android Email App where it takes emails off the server when in POP3 configuration, even when you have the "Don't Delete From Server" option on "Never"? I'm experiencing this problem. Is there a fix?
Thanks,
-Adam
IIRC "Don't delete from server" is a traditional client config setting that controls whether or not the email is deleted at the time it is polled by the POP client. It does not necessarily control whether or not the client later reaches out and tells the server to delete an arbitary message, and I think this ambiguity is the issue.
My guess is Android is deleting the message from the server when it's deleted from the phone. See the last few posts here.
The workaround I see folks using is to set the "last N days" setting low and letting them fall off the phone's view rather than deleting them.
I haven't used POPn in a while so input welcomed from more knowledgeable folks.

It takes an email off the server as soon as one's delivered (into the inbox). I'll check out the link. Thanks.

I just read through the link. I took the advice of setting up the email client on my computer to leave mail on the server, but it still gets removed when I receive it on my phone.. maybe it's time to call T-Mobile.
But the desktop client leaves it on the server? If so, sounds like an Android problem and I figure TMO will be useless. Hopefully someone else jumps in to clue us in. I don't have a pop+webmail account handy to use for testing (and I'm running CM7).
Are you running the stock T-mobile ROM that came with the phone? Would it be acceptable to try some other (free) POP3 client from the android market?

When I receive the email on my desktop, I can't get it on my phone.. even though I have it set to keep the messages on the server. This is weird!
I know that POP3 is kind of outdated and IMAP is the new popular standard. I'd switch it over to IMAP, but I don't like how when I delete messages from the Inbox, they reappear the next time I check my email.

Yeah, I'm running the stock ROM. What POP3 Client would you recommend from the market?
Thanks,

Actually, I think the weirdness is on the server, since the desktop client won't leave them there either. If you share who the mail provider is someone might chime in with info or a fix.
Dunno any 3rd party pop3 apps, as I don't use them.
I'm looking for an email app that can connect to gmail and yahoo mail without necessarily connecting through accounts that are on the device.
An app that is independent of the information that is on the device. The same way an app from a website connects to your account on their site without having to go through the accounts set up on device (if i understand it right.)
Is there such a thing?

Cloudmagic, i think does what you want.

Are these options safe? Well what i mean exactly is, is my personal info and privacy kept from being sold and what not? Cloudmagic does use cloud services and i assume outlook works in a similar fashion. If these email apps do the same thing that the native gmail app will do with any information i summon use and keep on my phone anyway, then it's kinda back to square one. I'm using moboclean to keep as much info on my phone (mainly my contact list) away from these communicative apps. Since i have a couple of alternate email accounts, i would like to use a particularly different app for one of my accounts and not get it mixed up with all the info sharing the other apps do.
Now if there is something that i've misunderstood on how some of these apps work, let me know. There is still some learning i need to do, but i really don't like the idea that some of these apps have inevitable permissions to access account details stored by other apps on my device and what not.
I just need the email app to work literary like a browser, like how i would access gmail through google's mail.google.com web page, but instead, the apps will use my credentials to login to my inbox automatically and not tie my device to my account in anyway, nor tie my account to my device. And google or yahoo or whatever, will think i'm accessing my email through a normal desktop computer.
Maybe i'm asking too much in our "out of control" world of today.
But thank you. I do appreciate all your help.
Hello everyone!
I'm having an issue with the built-in Email app on my RN4X (mido). For some reason it creates duplicated labels (folders) on my Gmail account.
For example, the app creates its own "Sent" folder, which I then see in the Gmail web interface as "/[Imap]/Sent", the same with Trash and few more folders.
Usually with other apps, the workaround was to set an IMAP default prefix - which is [Gmail] in this case, and the mail app realized which folder is which and used the standard ones in Gmail, but the MIUI Email app doesn't seem to "understand" this.
Can someone please enlighten me here? Do you use Gmail with the built-in Email app?
PS: Of course, the simple solution would be to use Gmail app and be done with it, however, I'd like to keep my mail accounts in one app and I don't really like how the Gmail app handles multiple accounts (you can't set it to default into "All Inboxes", etc.). So the built-in app seems fine for this and I don't really like to install yet another app (Outlook, etc.) to use it for something as simple as email.
I'm using the latest update of everything on my phone, so I don't think the issue can be here. But if someone has an older version of an app that should be working, I'm all for it.
Thanks a lot!
