Gmail + WM6

I am using the default email software supplied with WM6 on my TMobile Wing to check my Gmail account. I didn't want to have an extra Java app installed just to check Gmail, as I am really low on program space.
I like how it works, except for one little thing - when I get my mail, it also downloads emails that I have SENT and puts them into my Inbox as if I had received it, or sent it to myself. How do I stop this? Is there any way to make the software stop downloading from the Sent folder on Gmail?
Thanks!

Are you using POP to access your gmail? In the POP settings on your gmail site you can create a filter to control which email is downloaded via POP, so you could probably create a filter which excludes sent email

Yep, POP3 access.
That sounds like just what I need. I'll check out the Gmail FAQ and see what I can find.
Thanks!

Ok I didn't see anything to fix that in the Gmail settings or FAQ. Blah. I may just access it via the webpage. I liked having the poutlook do it though. Oh well.

Hmm use EMOZE

You can easily create POP3 account in WM5 or WM6 and manually do send receive or you can setup intervals which pocket outlook will access your Gmail account. In fact in pocket outlook when you create new pop email account for Gmail the setting will be made automatically. You simply need to enter your email address and password
Anyhow before doing above you need to enable POP3 in Gmail Web.
acces your web gmail --> go to settings and enable the POP3 access. Under settings there is also a tab for email filtering in which you can define which mails should be forward to POP3
Furthermore If you wan to have push mail, you can apply for free http://mail2web.com account. It is free MS exchange service. Forward your Gmail's to your mail2web account and it will push it to your device. (it functions perfectly)

I think you guys are misunderstanding my problem.
I have it sending/receiving manually, and it works just fine.
The problem is if I send a message at home on my computer, then I get my Wing and access my mail, it downloads the message I sent from my sent folder onto my phone, as if it were in my inbox.

What exactly is "pushing" btw?

RVM,
as I mentioned go to settings in your gmail web account there is the tab of filters. Then create a filter with your email
i.e:
from : [email protected]
Pushmail is similar to blackberry email, email that comes to your inbox will be pushed (send) to your hand device. You save manualy checking your inbox.

That's what I did. I went into filters and there was no option to have it not allow the sent mail to be downloaded via a POP3 client. I may have missed something so I will go have another look.

Email Automatic Downloads

Guys,
Is anyone experiencing problems with the automatic retrieval of email messages.
I have my HD2 set up the same as my Touch HD but unlike the Touch HD the HD2 does not forward emails unless I first hit Send/Receive.
Can't for the heck of it figure out what I'm doing wrong!

what kind of email provider are you using? i'm using hotmail, wich doesn't even has a pop or imap feature, but in email inbox, go to (right soft key) menu>extra>options and tap on your email provider in the list and go to sync schedule and set the sync frequency to: as items arrive. At least, this option I use for hotmail. It is a windows live feature btw.

I use seven from www.seven.com for my work email and my gmail account. works fine...

Guys, It's not the provider that is the problem..... That's why I mentioned both my Touch HD (which works perfectly) & my HD2 both share the same settings.
As to the settings you mention hyellow; I'm happy in how to set up sync schedule and frequency (again, I don't have any problems with the Touch HD).
It's frustrating, especially seeing as I don't consider myself a novice.

Sorted..... and it was down to something stupid I had missed.
I had the box ticked under "This netwok connects to a Proxy server".
Once I had unticked it I now receive my email messages automatically without any intervention.
A small item easily missed.
This was a 'biggy' for me.
I needed auto email retrieval set to the 5minute minimum so that if fellow surgeons needed to send me patient details I was warned in advance.
Thanks again to hyellow & zsilak who gave their time in helping.:

I don't know of any software that will allow you to turn off email notification on a set period of time.
Why not just set your phone to 'Plane' mode. That's what I do if I'm not on call and don't want to be disturbed by email..... Other than that just turn off the volume.

this is possible on symbian and on windes mobile with exchange....

X7510 - No MSoft Exchange When Setting Up Corp Email?

Hi All,
I have an Advantage X 7510 that I bought in Ireland and I was trying to
set up a new email account to my work's Microsoft Exchange Email
account. The manual has set up instructions for this but when I follow
them there is no Msoft Exchange option in the menu as the manual says
should be there? I am running Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro
Please help.
Thankx.
Fatboy

Go to message =>set-up e-mail account => Type e-mail adress=> do not search the internet and press next. =>Choose your provider:exchange server a few steps further you will find the sync options, such as calender, contacts etc.

Hi aevries
I have tried that several times but when I do there is no choice for exchange server only pop or imap?
Thank you for your help.

You set up MS-Exchange through ActiveSync. Launch ActiveSync on the device. Click on the menu and you can set the Server Source, schedule (how often it should check for mails), etc. Once you do this, you will see that "Outlook mail" in your Messaging shows your MS-Exchange email.

We need more info. What e-mail are you using (hotmail, gmail, exchange,other?), which e-mail app, what version of android do you have on your phone and what modifactions have you done, and what are the settings you using? For example,
I am running Cog beta 7, froyo, and replaced the e-mail app with this opne here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8453938&postcount=99
I am running my hotmail, aol and att.net e-mails on it.
Hotmail and AOL was automatic in settings, but att.net required a bunch more
For exchange I am using roadsync.

I have Android 2.1

the thing is that I what to use the standard that comes with the captivate, because amonge meny thing it has the link on the home screen and is like ussless.
Please Help.
thanks.

Did you change the sync 3 day setting? Press menu, settings, accounts and sync. Select the exchange account and change the days to 1 month. Also try sendin yourself a message, if it does not send or receive, there is something wrong with your settings.
Also if you are using exchange, check with your admin that your username did not get locked out, happend to me and I had no idea. If it is another e-mail, and not exchnage having an issue, let me know exactly which e-mail is giving you an issue.

use k-9 and forget the samsung junk. you can even put it on the launch bar.
k-9 is the fastest android mail app that ive tried. it was almost real time. not that 5 minute sync that the stock one and many others have. mail droid is similar but having both running k-9 gave the notifications first.
if you dont know how to change the apps on the launch bar, press the applications icon, press menu, change view type to customizable grid.
press menu, choose edit, move desired icon to the launcher.
press menu, select save.

I agree with Dani, if the stock app does not work and K-9 does, use K-9. If the settings are correct and it still does not work, it may be an issue with the app.

Do you use gmail or Live mail? the the outgoing server settings in the email settings, make sure you have the mail server config correctly. I'm using K9 mail and added 2 gmail, 1 yahoo and 3 hotmail accounts to it. They all shared the same inbox so I could read them all without go into each one and check. It's very easy to config, just type email address, login information and that's it.

I do not need help configuring email accounts, I need help understanding why emails with attachements stay in my outbox folder after I hit the 'send' button.

Because you probably miss-config your outbound mail server settings.(not sending). To check the outbound server settings you need to manually config your email (exhange settings).

I don't know how I mis-configured anything because all I did was enter my email and password when I originally set it up on the tablet. I've been sending and receiving standard email fine for months, it's just that tonight was the first time I took a picture and then attached it to an outgoing email and it won't send.
In the settings menu my only option is for 'incoming server settings', Do I need to delete the account and then re-configure it manually instead of automatically?

You should reconfig the "outgoing server settings", if you still could received emails then your "incoming server settings" is OK, just use your phone and send a test email to your device, or worst come to worst delete the account and re setup.

Have you tested it with a different attachment?
What's the size of the attachment? Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo mail all refuse to send anything over 25MB. The server simply rejects the mail.
You still haven't answered which app you use.

This ^^ is critical information. I use MailDroid, and its inner workings and settings options differ cnsoderably from Gmail, K9, TouchDown (which I also use), etc. I'd assume you're using the standard GMail app, since you do not reference which app you're using.

High level zoomability.. for maximum photoreality? Hahahahaha :silly:
But(t) silly it depends on the filetype. The average photograph from my camera is 7MB as JPEG, 18MB as PNG. The RAW files are even worse, average of 30MB... each. And let's not get started on TIFF's.. those are 50MB.

The picture file is less than 1mb.
I can receive attachments. No issue there. I can even forward received emails that have attachements.
So to re-cap and clarify: I can send and receive email. I can receive attachements to email. I can forward received emails w/ attachments to others. I tried to send a <1mb photo attachment, hit 'send', and it's just sits in my outbox.

1) I asked if you could send other attachments. This means a new email with a different attachment. Not a Forward.
2) Everyone asked what mail app you use.
