Problem with mail client: can't create accounts - General Topics

This is a weird one.
I've a number of POP and IMAP accounts set up, as well as Hotmail in the mail client of WM5 (latest O2 release). I've had no problems creating accounts in the past but I now find that the option for creating new accounts is greyed out. All the existing accounts work fine.
I've not done anything to alter the operation of the mail client other than install Saman's SMS Delivery Receipt Fix.
Has anyone seen this problem before? I've not been able to find it discussed elsewhere. Any ideas how to fix it?

Further investigation suggests that the problem is that I have reached a maximum number of e-mail accounts: 4. If I delete an account I can add a new one. It doesn't seem to matter if it's an imap or pop account.
Does this sound right? Is there a hack to change it?

I saw a document on www.microsoft.com that said you could only add 4 additional accounts. Sorry I can't find it atm.
Then again, on this site, someone else reported the same problem and there was a reply that another poster had >4.

setting email send address.

Hi,
I have posted this as another thread but later thought about it, and it's more general rather then being specific to my device, certainly all wm6.1 devs and possabily earlier.
Basically i use my diamond to connect to my exchange server which hosts my personal mail, i have a forwarder which forwards all my mail to the exchange, so i can easily pick up my work mail from my personal exchange.
This is where my problem begins when i reply to a email or send it uses my exchange mail box.
I have added the work mail box to my phone with a rogue pop3 for source email so i am not pulling the same email from 2 sources, and specified smtp correctly and used the right username\pass.
I hoped by doing this when i send an email or replied it would ask me which account to send from however it uses which ever account you are in at the time of creating the mail.
I don't know if anyone else has achieved this or even tried anything similar.
Any suggestions welcomed.
thanks in advance

really annoying issue with gmail, help plz!

Hey guys,
I tried to find a solution for this...havent found one yet. I have 2 gmail accounts synced on my captivate (running perception 10). One of the accounts is a google apps account the goes with the email extension [email protected] Now ever since I added this account on my captivate all the mail shows up read on the phone and on the online gmail client. All new mail shows up as read and it is really turning into a problem because it is my work account and I need to know about the new emails as they come. I have tried reflashing, removing the account and adding it again and nothing has worked so far. Any one have any possible solutions?
I am having problems with g mail as well. It will not send emails out but I can receive with no problems. I tried the email client built into the phone and it sends out just fine.

are you using outlook (or any other client) to pull in mail from this address? My wife had this same exact issue and we had to change her gmail pop settings to "keep gmail's copy in the inbox" as opposed to "mark gmail's copy as read", which was set originally. So when Outlook pulled her emails in, it marks gmail's copy as read causing her phone's copy to be marked as read.
hope this helps.

[Q] Sending and Recieving multiple emails

HI everyone,
I've searched a bit and see other people have the same problem with other Moto phones but I haven't found any solutions yet.
Using the stock email program I have 3 email accounts setup. It seems that when I have Yahoo mail setup I start getting multiple copies of the same email (sometimes 7-10 copies of the same email). Essentially like the mail app poles and thinks that an email that has been downloaded already is new. This happens with all 3 accounts (very annoying).
Worse though is that when sending email with my Yahoo account it is sending multiple copies of the email. Testing it out I got as high as 4 emails sent.
This is only happening with the stock email program when I choose Yahoo as one of the account types. I haven't seen it happen if I setup Yahoo manually and as a generic IMAP email account.
The reason I don't want to setup Yahoo in the generic way is that I use my Yahoo contacts.
So, anyone else out there have this issue or does anyone know of away to solve it? I'm guessing it is an Android/Stock email app and Yahoo compatibility issue and I won't have many options but I thought I'd ask.
Thanks
John

[Q] Some Messages Not Pushed to Gmail App

I have read through various syncing issues, but can't find anything quite like what I'm experiencing. Also, I'm not even sure where the problem lies, whether it's IMAP configurations or a Gmail issue or an app issue. Hopefully someone can help solve my problem or guide me in a direction.
I have 2 accounts within Outlook 2007 - work email through Microsoft Exchange and a Gmail IMAP account. I have a rule set where email sent to the work account will also be copied to the Inbox of the IMAP account. On my phone (Galaxy S3) I have two Google/Gmail accounts set up - personal email (let's call it G-X) and the one that gets a copy of my work email (let's call it G-Y).
Up until a few days ago I had no problems with receiving emails and notifications but now if an email is sent directly to G-Y, I am notified through the Gmail app on the phone that I have new mail. If an email is sent to the work account, where it gets copied to the Gmail IMAP in Outlook, there is no notification, even though the message is displayed as unread/new both in Outlook and gmail.com.
I haven not installed any new apps or changed any settings on the phone recently. The only peculiar thing that happened was that there was an Exchange Server issue at work that has since been resolved. This makes me think the issue might be related to Outlook or the way the email gets copied to the IMAP account, but none of the Exchange/Outlook people I have talked to are familiar with this sort of behavior.
Can anyone shed light on this? I just want to be able to get notified when new work email comes to (gets copied to) the Gmail account set up for it.

Stock Email app, I feel lame I can't figure this out myself

Looked around didn't see a solution for this. For my personal email account (through my ISP) that I have configured in the stock e-mail app. With every phone I had in the past, if I either downloaded the emails to my PC clearing them from the server, or went into the online web app and deleted them, when I refreshed the email on my phone I would only see the emails that still exist on the server. My new Z3 however persists and still shows the emails that I had deleted/downloaded and are no longer on the server. I checked every option and can't find any way to fix this. Thoughts?
What E-mail service do you use?
sorry.. my answer was not relevant to the question.
Have you tried re-adding your account? I had an issue where the email never updated (had to do it manually). Re-added my hotmail account, all good now.
