Hi,
I'm trying to insert settings on my o2 phone for my gmail account and uni account.
one is a pop setting and the other an IMAP4...
The only problem is when it starts downloading the mail, it starts downloading EVERY message i have in my inbox, is there anyway i can just download new messages?
I have an XDA 2s
Thanks.

You have to set in settings --- fowarding and POP on your gmail account. Select under POP download the following "Enable POP only for mail that arrives from now on"
I think that should work
Skyward = that's wicked!
Worked with the gmail - thanks ur a legend!
Now need to work out how to do this with my uni email account that i normally access through outlook..
Sending e-mail
I'm also currently configuring my XDAIIs with gmail, the above infor is very usefull.
I have a follow up question, is sending e-mail posible also? I have tried reply from 1 of the e-mail from gmail but it failed.
Now that i have "the real thing" i would like to setup my gmail account with outlook mobile so that whenever i am connected to wi fi i can download my messages without having to open PIE. I would also like to do the same thing with my hotmail email account. How can i do this?
Have a look here - and then normal po3 account?

I do have POP setup, but it won't download messages, it can connect, but it won't download any messages. As for windows live hotmail, i cant connect with that either, i think it has to do with my settings under connections, then connections. Like with all the network and dialing rules.
you configure the incoming and outgoind mail right?
incoming mail: pop.gmail.com:995
outgoing mail: smtp.gmail.com:465
options: page 2: Outgoing mail requires authetication
Ok so i now got both working, but my gmail automatically removes my messages once they have been downloaded once. How can i fix that?
probably because there no "new messages" set the "Only display messages from the last "x" days to more days
or unset this option
The option was off, and after it had downloaded the messages once and i tried it again they all went away. My Windows Live ones stay the same though.
prefix your user account name with "recent:"
for example, my gmail account is "baarod" so I use "recent:baarod" and my normal password
see http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=47948&topic=1555
does it need quotes around it? and do i put this infront of the email adress or user name?
EDIT: nevermind i got it. Thanks a ton. Now both are working.
@Baarod
Thanx for the "recent:" tip... this was driving me up against the wall... Have you ever had it that messages you sent from Gmail (sometimes when sent from PPC, always when sent from PC) appears again, from yourself, in your Gmail Inbox?
Yeah. That's "normal" for gmail. Has something to do with it being conversation-based. If you look in gmail through the browser you'll see that actually the same thing happens, your responses to email get attached to the message you replied to.
anyway to turn it off?
I recently purchased an HTCs S640 (I guess it's also called Isis) from Telus with Windows Mobile 6. I seem to have a problem with the built in messaging application receiving emails from my POP3 account which I've set up with a webspace provider that also hosts my website.
The weird part is that I receive messages fine when the phone is synced up to my computer via USB and ActiveSync, but it fails when I'm using Wifi and the phone is disconnected from my computer. Another weird thing is that the phone seems to log into my incoming mail server, looks for changes but doesn't actually download any messages.. and then logs out as if I have no emails... no error messages or anything.. The outgoing mailserver I've set to my ISP's SMTP address and that works fine .. it's just incoming messages I have a problem with.
I've also set up my Gmail account with IMAP which works (except for the known issue of recieving only headers for HTML messages) and my hotmail accounts through Windows Live.
I'm working with my web host to see if there is anything on their end that can be fixed.. but the same setting I am using in HTC's messaging application I am also using on my desktop computer's Outlook and they work fine.
Any suggestions?
Hey,
I'm with Tesco.net for my broadband at home and want to get my personal emails on my TP.
I can do that fine, either setting up POP3 on my TP or using Emoze for push email (which I'm using and love)
For some reason I can't send any. I know there's an update to fix this, but it doesn't work. I don't even get an error - the emails just sit in my outbox.
I can send emails from other accounts (Yahoo for example) but not this one. I've looked on the Tesco website and Googled why this isn't working, but found nothing.
Any ideas?
Thanks

check your outgoing mail settings on the phone with what they should be. it's possible that some type of mismatch (maybe port or security or pw error) is keeping your phone from connecting to the outgoing server.
also are you sure they're not sending? every now and then i send emails and tehy sit in my outbox and keep sending until i get a pissed off phone call from someone about repeatedly emailing them...
N5 wont let me set up Pop3 email account. Called my IP and verified I had all the correct incoming and outgoing settings. Keep getting "Couldn't open connection to server.
