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?

Hi people... WM6.0 is bugging me - every time I send/receive it deletes all of my old mail... Is there any way to turn this off?
Thanks in advance!
No ideas?
I have the same issue with GMAIL, but could not find a setting on the device to stop the inbox deletes. Also, the gmail pop3 settings online are not that clear on what to do?
I have the same problem, and the only way I found to keep my important mail, is by moving them to the spam folder...
If you configure the settings for the mail account to download "All messages" then they won't get deleted unless you delete them manually (in which case they'll disappear next time you send/receive). Just make sure you've only got what you need in your server Inbox....or you've got an unlimited data plan as it may take a while to download them all!!
By default, new mail accounts are setup to download "messages from the last three days" IIRC, which is why messages older than that will disappear from the phone's Inbox on a send/receive.
HTH,
Mark.

gmail has a problem that it deletes any read mail. Kinda sucks, but it happens
In the Gmail options (not on your phone, but on the webpage) you can set it to retain a copy of the mail after POP retrieval.

It's not a GMail problem, this happens with all my POP3 accounts. My retrieval settings are already on All Mail - any more bright ideas?
has anybody successfully synced there fone to gmail???
cause i have run into a bit of a problem my fone checks gmail every 15 mins and i get my email and everthing but i cant send email. i use recent:username so that it doesnt deleat the messages on my fone. anyone?? know how to fix these?
I am having the same problem and I am looking for a fix right now. It's due to the port #"s that are required by gmail to send and recieve email through there servers.
I have it working...
what are your settings?
my outgoing mail server is 'smtp.gmail.com:465' then in the Options menu I have 'Outgoing mail requires authentication' selected, and 'use separate settings' is NOT selected.
Maybe try that...I know the Outgoing Mail requires Authentication needs to be selected in order for you to be able to send mail...
if I could suggest maybe searching the posts for a direct push email service, many of which are free, getting that setup, then simply forwarding all of your gmail to the direct push account. making sure it leaves copies in ur gmail inbox for checking/archiving later from ur pc.
it works fine for me on my phone,i can send and recieve flawlessly. my outgoing server is smtp.gmail.com:465 as well
ok thanks u guys it was easy i had the 'use separate settings' selected. but once i unselected it.. it worked.. so u guy know of any good free service for pushing gmail, that works good??

mail2web offers free push service, and you can forward your gmail from the account options to a mail2web account. I was doing that for a while and it worked extremely well! Website can be found at: http://live.mail2web.com
you know, its funny. i was just working on this today as well.
i have the settings that pocket outlook found for me:
incoming mail: pop.gmail.com:995
outgoing mail: smtp.gmail.com:465
domain is blank. i have the use seperate settings unticked etc..
but it keeps asking me for my username and password and domain
i am using the correct username and password as far as i can tell. connects okay on my pc with that login. but it keeps failing on my wizard. do i need to put something in the domain area?

the issue is prevalent on all androids: when using htc's mail to add hotmail (or sounds like any email), the synchronization is not quite right... if you have viewed or deleted an email, it is not reflected on the mail server and therefore the next synchronization you will be notified of "new mail" even though you have just read/deleted it.
everyone is blaming the fact it is a POP issue and the solution is to use Exchange or IMAP. there are MANY hits on google with supposed solution. however when i tried them out, i am still getting that annoying problem.
Use K9 mail. I have never had a phantom new mail with any of my non gmail email.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using the power of the dark side.
+1 to K9 mail
tried k9 for 5mins
it doesnt work very well with hotmail (according to the warnings) and i recall i had a problem with hotmail would put up captcha (the image verificaiton) and hinder k9's ability to get mail.
Go to your Hotmail account email option on your computer not your phone.
look for "POP and deleting downloaded messages"
There are 2 options,
Don't let another program delete messages from Hotmail. (If your other program is set to "delete messages from the server," we'll simply move them to a special POP folder. They won't be deleted.)
Do what my other program says-if it says to delete messages, then delete them.
Select the second one. It works for me. Your problem should go away.
For some reason Hotmail Exchange ActiveSync is not the true Exchange ActiveSync.
ah thanks. i recall they recently implemented that feature... that explains why my hero (which was working) also suddenly broke.
edit: it works. all fixed.
now i cant be any happier with my inspire (battery could always be better)
Just set up my S6 and my SMS text messages are showing up in my corporate email. I set up the "Email" app for my corporate account (as I have done with previous phones). Now, when I open Outlook on my work computer, my personal SMS text messages are showing up there. Not good. That's actually a big privacy concern - my personal text messages going to my work server!!!!
Go into your email account settings and untick the box that says sync messages.

How are you doing this. I want this option, and it didn't work anymore with android 5.1.1 .
If you do not want this, it is the last option when you configure your mail synchronization. It's where you choose to synchronize your agenda, contact, mail, ... (or not).
What was your old phone?
OK. I use catchall email for my domain but I use gmail (good spam filtering)
here is the problem. the way it works is I create a catchall ([email protected]) and set it to forward to my gmail account.
problem is it ALSO keeps a copy in its own webmail imap account and there is NO way to automatically empty this and using gmail to access it is cludgy at best. The problem is every few months this 500mb mail box fills up. When that happens ALL mail stops as it gets bounced and not forwarded. I have to remember the address login etc.. and manually empty it out.
Here is what I am looking for. a tiny app that I can program with my server user name password etc.. for the imap account.
I tap this app and it just logs in and EMPTIES the account. Completely. deletes everything. nothing else. I don't need to see it or anything (its already been forwarded to me anyway)
this way once a month I tap this app and POOF all the mail saved in the imap account goes byebye. does anything remotely like that exist?
