Hi folks
finally got my xda orbit the other day - lving it so far - and have managed to get the email sorted out. I sent myself a few test emails last night but upon receiving a new email it seems to delete the previous one(s). My question - to the more experienced users out there - is this: is there a setting or something I can do on the xda so doesn't delete previous emails when a new one comes through?
I apologise if I asked something already chatted about but I've been trying to find out about this problem all day.
Thanks in advance for any help!
When you set up a mail account, you get to choose how many days worth of email you want to download; if you chose "Today" then that probably explains why last night's test messages got deleted when you sent yourself new mail today........
You can change this behaviour, but be careful how much you choose to keep unless you've got a storage card!!
Go to the email Inbox, select Menu | Tools | Options, then tap on the required email account; tap Next five times until you get to a screen with "Automatic Send/Receive" and "Download messages" on - the bottom box shows how many days worth of email you're currently storing....change it to whatever your heart desires, hit Next and then Finish
Hope that helps,
Mark.
Heh - that may have been it, but I was getting (last night anyway) emails and then immeddiately (as in seconds later) I was sending a second one and the previously received one vanished. I've set it so that it downloads ALL messages - not sure if I should have it set for entire message or just headers yet...I'll see how that goes. I do have a storage card though so i'd certainly save messages to that - maybe (not sure if I can do this) I can create a folder on it and direct messages to get moved/saved there? No idea how that's done though
But thanks for the help - if you have any other tips let me know...I love this xda Going to look for mods for it...apparently there's some nice HTC themed ones out there
EDIT* This is annoying me a bit now...I just did a fresh check for emails (had 2 I received not 5 mins ago), there weren't any new ones but now those previous 2 have disappeared from my inbox list - what is going on with this thing? I can't keep losing these emails.

is there a way to have the vox display the date and time messages were received? Either a setting on the phone or a programme I can install?

A friend of mine who used to have a SE phone asked me the same question.
Unfortunately couldn't find an answer. Doesn't seem to be a built in functionality. I found also references in forums with people asking how this could be done (by developing an addin)... Guess someone willing to develop it has some future ahead

Thanks for the reply. It just seems like such a basic thing i don't understand why MS would leave it out.

While in messages applications. Go to options. There should be something to check if you want to see the date and time of message arrivals. If that doesnt work, try the other way: when you read the specific message, click up on joystick one or two times. There should be all necessary info.
Try FlexMail 2007 from WebIS (www.webis.net). It isn't that cheap, at $30, but it is much better than the supplied applications. I was introduced to it because I found that deleting on the Vox also deletes on my IMAP server even when it shouldn't!
Hope this helps!
Select Text Messages or an e-mail account. Go to Menu->Tools->Options->Display and Check Show date and time in the message list
The option _is_ there.
Open an SMS message and press on the UP button.
I was talking about "Received by the recipient", actually the delivered timestamp.
Meaning:
I send a message, I have the delivered notification. Ok. Now I would like being able to open the Sent message and see on it when the recipient has received it or still pending delivery. I can do it checking everytime if I have a Delivered note but would be better having everything at the same place.
Ka.
what about call history, any ideas?
activate the delivery report.
When you recieve it, open it and go up with with you jojstick to se the time. the sent time of the report is the recieving time of the sms at the reciepent.
I have had problems, but not til recently, but i heard a month or so there were some.
I waited, until a friend (with Verizon) (I am with Tmo) told me she called in, they said that there was in fact a Yahoo problem, they fixed it over the phone by giving some new server settings?
FOR ME, I expected the same...I called Tmo, to get to Tech support was horrific. They then had me goto Yahoo Mobile, download an email App
Once done, I had a new icon, simply a Mail (yahoo) icon INSTEAD of an Email icon to use. I could pick which one???
1. Does this make sense? Was Verizon right, are there some server settings, changes I need to make (symptoms, you may ask: waiting, NOT 5 minutes, but sometimes an hour, sometimes NO messages. Some were from the forums)
So do I need to enter some setting changes OR use the new icon OR use whatever icon I want, downloading the app itself fixed it??
2. Within that application, can someone explain a few things??
a) What is "contact email" -- is it email directly in the inbox from contacts only, and if there was one from Joe Smith, not a contact, it would not list it?
b) What is the Picture Email?? whoooahh LOL this could get me in trouble. I saw emails pop up from a year ago I sent. Some were ones I sent / some were ones I received. But where did they come from. How do I get better hold on these.
Am I the only one in the world who ever got the shock of his life using Yahoo or an app like this. Thank God I caught it.
Thanks for listening.. I can't always express it easily. I am not a great writer. So forgive me.

So, I was going to post here the other day about merging SMS treads, but never got around to it.
I get all my Facebook notifications sent to me via SMS because it seems faster than the Android Facebook app. Well, Facebook uses that annoying long number for every SMS they send.
It was starting to fill my inbox and it was driving me nuts. I figured out that if you save each number in the same contact under the same type (ie. Mobile, Home, etc.) it will automatically merge the threads into one and save room in the messages folder without looking cluttered.
So, each time Facebook sends a message, just add it to the same contact as the rest. Eventually, you will no longer have to do this because the numbers start to recycle themselves.
I hope this helps someone because I spent hours upon hours upon days searching for a solution and could not for the life of me figure out how to do this. So, hope this adds to the great amount of information that XDA has.
From a few days I have a problem with my hotmail/livemail/outlook.com account (call it as you want, I'm lost with all the names)
the inbox folder is empty (ONLY on the phone), all other folders show all the emails...
I've seen a question on a microsoft "forum"
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...-hotmail/ac9ed8ee-fc0f-4833-b2ac-97dbdf809d0f

Nop, I selected "all mails (the last option, mails from every time)"..
however I have mails today that I can see on WebMail and in Outlook..
If you have LinkedIn or Twitter connected to your account, delete it in your phone, reboot it, and your email should be fixed.
Hi...how can I prevent this forum from sending me email? Every time someone quotes one of my posts, gmail receives an email. I have turned off all email notifications in the settings for this website. If I set gmail to not notify me then I receive NO notifications on my phone that my gmail inbox has received an email...obviously I don't want that...since friends email me etc. I thought it might be a Chrome thing...but I have set everything there to never notify me of anything.
The only way I can stop this forum from emailing me when someone quotes my post is to disable notifications in gmail...since I can't handpick websites I don't want to receive email from...that just cancels ALL notifications as I said before.
By the way, I am NOT 'subscribing' to any threads either...so that's not the problem.
So what am I doing wrong?
thanks
Have you tried this:
1 - Click on Settings on the top right, next to your username.
2 - From the options on the left, choose the last one titled "Settings" under "Mention System"
3 - Check the last option, titled "Quote Emails" which has the description "Check this box if you do not wish to receive an email whenever you are quoted in a post."
4 - Save changes
Should work. Else, use filters in gmail to auto delete such emails...
Wow thanks a lot
'Mentions'...the only thing I didn't check. That'll teach me!
