How do you define the defualt email account. My KaiserTweak is configured to forward to the default e-mail inbox when i click the e-mail icon on HTC home, but it is still taking me to the standard SMS inbox. Advice?
Using the search option would have brought you to the solution

I already saw that, which i why i posted this. I have TWO e-mail inboxes, and i was asking how to set ONE of them as my default e-mail account.
And even with that tweak, when i click the e-mail icon i still get forwarded to the general messaging inbox, which is still nonselective. So every so often the e-mail icon still brings me to my SMS.

Is anyone familiar with problems with Gmail? (gmail account under messaging)
Last week I added my gmail account to WM6 Messaging, which worked fine.
Today I wanted to do a clean install and removed my google account from messaging. But when adding my gmail account again, it does not show any emails anymore in my gmail inbox folder.
It is logging on and checking the email headers, when clicking on send/receive. I also am able to send email from my universal
I have the "WM6PRO_Business_AKU_0.7" from Laurentius&Beast installed (WM6PROBUSSINESSVC_V3)
Is there a way to "really" clean my universal (ie clean cache, folders, etc) I cannot find the folders where this emails are stored
If you are able to receive new e-mail messages on your device, your "problem" has to do with your Gmail account settings. Send a test message to yourself from another address and see if you can receive it. If you do receive it and you are certain that you want to download again all of your previous messages, login to your Gmail account, go to Settings -> Forwarding and POP and select "Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)".
Most likely that should get you back your inbox (unless you had opted to delete downloaded messages after a certain period).

When changing gmail settings to POP for all mail, it starts checking, then it receives a few old messages, which also shows up in my inbox. But when it finish send/receive, the messages disappear again. It also does not receive/show new messages.
Is there a way to clear messaging cache/setting completely (i have tried deleting my gmail account several times)
OK, I created a new Gmail account and did some tests. These are my findings:
1) In Gmail's POP settings if you set it to keep a copy of the downloaded message in your inbox, your messages never get deleted on the WM6 mail client.
2) If you set it to archive downloaded messages, all mail that has been moved from inbox to the archives gets deleted on the Universal.
3) If you set the mail client to download only a part of the message (say 2K), messages that are above that limit don't get archived (probably because they are never completely downloaded).
4) Any messages that were below the specified size to be downloaded, stayed in my device's inbox, even after they were archived in Gmail.
I suppose that if you want to be able to see all your messages on your Universal you should move them from the archives to your Gmail's inbox, set Gmail to keep downloaded messages in its inbox and re-enable the POP setting for all mail.
Try that and tell us how it goes.
I just tried it with a other gmail account, which works perfectly on my universal.
Also with a pop client on my pc (on same network) receives messages and shows them.
Messages that were download were not archived (gmail is setup to keep an email copy in the inbox). They were still visible in gmail webmail. I'f tried several settings, but no improvement on my universal :-(
When clicking on the send/receive button, it displays "checking message [number]/362" So it looks to me the device thinks it already has the messages in his inbox. But the device also does also not see new messages.
Just a thought:
In my test account I had about 30 e-mails, varying in size from 1KB to 12MB. The first time I pressed the "Send/Receive" button, "checking message 1/30" was displayed for quite some time until it started downloading messages. Same thing when I deleted some messages and added some new ones: "checking message 8/17" was displayed for about two minutes before it actually downloaded something.
Perhaps the number and size of e-mail messages you have is overwhelming to the device and it needs a lot of time to process them?

Hi there,
I had the same "problem" some time back.
Through google I found that all mail that has been downloaded ones by a mobile or maybe even by pop method, this mail will NEVER again be send when trying to download, even when your device is renamed etc. or even another device.
I did find one "sollution"
When you add recent before your email accountname, like "recent:[email protected]" you will ALWAYS receive the last 30days of history of emails.
(also handy, if you use more than one mobile device and or pop mail program, because you will always receive your mail on both !)
greetings,
Wout

Just tried it, and it works. Thanks all for your help!
I've got gmail set up through pocket outlook, downloads manually when I send/receive. So I did that, had an email with an attachement, so chose the option for it to download the full attachement, send and receive again, then opened a different message, back to inbox, and the email with the attachement is gone!! I can still see it when I log on through explorer, it's just gone from the outlook inbox. Any ideas?

There's a setting to keep email for a specified period i.e 3 days. Suggest that you extend the period and your email should re-appear.
tried that, didn't work, the email was from this morning...
Anyway, decided to dump pop & go with imap, so much better, don't have all those annoying sent emails showing up in my inbox.

did you use a username like "[email protected]" or like "recent:[email protected]" ?
With the first one you will receive your mail only once. With the second once, you will receive your mail during 30 days.
The fact is that with gmail pop you don't have to care about the "keep message" option, but you have to care about the "recent:" prefix for you login name.
Hope it helps !
didn't type in recent, but as I mentioned switched to IMAP and it's working well so won't be using pop anymore
I was having the same problem with multiple web-based email systems, and found that while I was set up for POP3, the solution is to Get message headers only. Once I made that change on the phone, all the disappeared messages returned. I have no clue...
Hey guys, in the default Android e-mail application (between phone and browser on the home screen), I have two accounts listed: one for my Yahoo mail and the the other through my FSU school email account (non-outlook). When I receive a new Yahoo mail, I'll see an entry for it on the notification bar and I'll go and check it out. Not so with my school email account. I simply don't get notifications when I receive a new email into that account. Is there a way to change is?
I don't care about syncing things with gmail or any of that stuff. I just want to receive a notification that I have new FSU mail like I do when I have a new Yahoo mail. Thanks!

Is the account set up to check regularly or manually? POP or IMAP?
Now that people are getting their new phones I would like to know if Sense 3.0 has any improvements in the email application, specifically when using IMAP.
Firstly I would like to know if the email app now supports IMAP IDLE, which may be listed as Push.
Also I would like to know if you can have multiple "From" addresses per mailbox so that I can choose who to reply as.
Lastly I would like to know if you can have an auto BCC for each mailbox.
Thanks.
I guess I asked too soon.
Bumping.

Just a quick reply to this
1) I have my google mail set up in htc mail as an IMAP there is no option to set the update schedule for push mail. I cannot see any other option to set it up for IMAP Idle so I assume it does not work with HTC mail.
2) I have both an exchange activesync mailbox and a google email mailbox set up in htc mail. When you compose an email there is an option on the top to select the from address you are sending to.
3) In the send and recieve settings for each mailbox there is an "always bcc me" option. I just tested it and it looks like it will only automatically bcc to the same account you are sending from. You do have the option of adding other accounts when you are composing an email.
Hope this helps.
one more thing abt the new Sense email app;
is multiple selection possible for ex. to 'mark as read' or 'delete' purposes?
(asking as a potential Sensation owner soon)

Thanks for this. It's a pity that HTC decided to add eye candy to Sense instead of working on useful features like IMAP IDLE.
I just need some clarification on (2). Does changing the From address change the account or can you have two accounts with multiple from addresses?
Thanks

I don't understand what you mean but from what I gather it changes the account you send from. Only one from account can be selected.
I don't know if it is new but the Sense 3 Mail program also supports multiple exchange accounts.
Extra exchange accounts must be added from within the HTC mail application.
Now I can use my personal and work exchange accounts on the phone at once. 1 up over my Touch Pro 2.

Ahh. OK. What I was talking about was using it with an account that is a catchall. account
Say I have owned domain custom-roms.com I could have any email that was sent to any address at custom-roms.com all come into one mailbox. So email sent to [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] would all come into the same mailbox which could have the default address of [email protected].
However when it came to replying, say I wanted to reply to an email sent to "kernel" but I didn't want to reply from the default address of "admin", with some mail clients, like K-9, I could choose to use one of the other "From" addresses even though they all belong to the same account.
Ok I see now, setting the from address to an alias set up to the account.
In that case no, from your example you will only be able to choose the [email protected] account. The from addresses you select from are derived from the mailboxes you set up in HTC mail. It is not a text box which you can edit but a list you select from.
The only way to do what you want is to set up an actual account for each of those emails, not aliases and then add each of them to HTC mail. not really what you were looking for though.
I have a question. On my G2 I was able to press a button at the top of each email to "Show Pictures" to display the embedded images and content. I can see it when I bring up my Google account emails, but not my normal POP3 email. As it is the only thing I can view in my emails are just words and links. Is there anyway to fix it so I can view images on there?
Thanks for the help!
exchange calendar sync
Hi,
I am using my phone with my company's exchange server. Since I bought it 1 week ago i never managed to sync my calendar. it tries for about 2 mins then it tells me socket timeout error.
i did a lot of search in the forums but none of the recommendations worked.
strangely my galaxy tab has no issues at all, working just fine.
Any help will be very appreciated.
Cheers
The absence of a Twitter app that supports push notifications annoyed me for quite some time now. There is no news or whatsoever on when this function might arrive for Android, so maybe we're waiting for a thing that may never happen or only in the distant future. My Twitter app polls each 10 minutes for new messages, which is draining the battery. Setting it to a larger interval means that it takes more time before you can answer your DM's or @mentions.
So when I yesterday recieved a mail from Twitter when I got an @mention, I got the feeling that I could do something with that. I use a Gmail account for my Twitter account, so mails from Twitter will be pushed in seconds to my Gmail account. But my Gmail is always on silent, no sound, no vibration, because I recieve to many mails to allow that. I had to find another option to alert me for Twitter mails.
I made a second Gmail account, the naming is arbitrary ofcourse, in my case [email protected]. Add that address to the Gmail App on your phone (open Gmail app, go to Menu>Accounts). Now you have two accounts in the Gmail app, you can switch by pressing the name of the account in the upper right corner of the Gmail app.
For both accounts you can set different sound/vibrate profiles when you recieve new mail. My primary account is on silent and I set the second account (which recieves only mails from Twitter) is set to always vibrate. You find the settings under Menu>More>Settings in the Gmail app. Make sure the second account is is set to synchronise automatically!
So far the things that have to be done on the phone. Now you need to make a filter in Gmail on the website. Go to the website, log in with your primary account. Now click in the upper right corner on the Settings icon, click on Mail Settings. Now you need to add the mail address you just made to Forwarding, so in my case I add [email protected]. Now you will recieve a code on that mail address which you have to enter in you primary account . Don't forward any mails yet, otherwise you recieve all mail of your primary account on your new account!
Now you have set up a forwarding address. The last step you need to take is set up a filter rule in your primary account. Again go to Mail Settings, now go to Filters. Add a filter that filters all mails from @postmaster.twitter.com and forward them to the new Gmail address, in my case [email protected].
Now all is set up and you will recieve a (almost) instant notification when you are mentioned at Twitter or when you get a DM.
(ps. the last steps with forwarding and filter rules can by avoided if you change your email address in your Twitter account to the newly made Gmail address, but I didn't want to change that myself.)
The only problem seems to be that Twitter doesn't always send emails when you get a DM/mention...
