Email account missing from manllia

Heres an interesting one for you, I have had the issue for a few months now and I've never bothered to fix it as I have always been telling myself ill flash a new Rom some day and that will fix it.
Anyway, the email tab in manilla has lost my exchange account. syncs, works fine, but its just not a selectable mailbox in manilla.. strangley however, if an unread email pops into my exchange account manilla adds the unread message count on the tab at the bottom, there is just no icon on the right to pick the exhange account anymore.
IE right now I have 16 un-read emails (icon on the bottom) when I goto the mail tab i see my IMAP account on the right and the most recent message from my imap account is displayed, no unread messages and compose new message.
I think from memory i was playing around with other accounts when this happened, I've tried adding other accounts, they all get a new tab.
Does anyone know if this info is stored in the registry or any fix for this?

Temporary Exchange Work Around for 2.0 Eclair Gmail syncing issues

-After setting up your phone Open the email app (not gmail) Select exchange account.
-For Domain/Username put in "/[email protected]"(or "/[email protected]" or google apps users) without quotes. The password should be filled in from the previous field. The Exchange server is "m.google.com" without quotes. Check both boxes below for ssl and encryption and hit next.
-Select the checking frequency(push will notify you as soon as a new email is delivered) and amount to synchronize (up to a month). then select next.
-Put in an account name and display name, then hit done. If you have corporate calendar installed, then your calendar will synchronize and so will your contacts and email.
Now go to your account sync settings and turn off all syncs for your gmail account, but make sure sync and exchange are turned on so that it updates when new emails or contacts come in.
This is a great temporary fix until on of the devs finally figues out how to get the real gmail sync working
-Thanks to ebg10 via eugene373 for the great idea

I have gotten google sync working in this rom and all other 2.0 roms through exchange. It syncs mail, contacts, and calendar without the need for google apps. To get this working make a new exchange account and put in your gmail email address and password and then select manual setup. Select exchange account. For Domain/Username put in "/[email protected]" without quotes. The password should be filled in from the previous field. The Exchange server is "m.google.com" without quotes. Check both boxes below and hit next. Select the checking frequency(or push) and amount to synchronize. Select which options you want below, then select next. Put in an account name and display name, then hit done. If you have corporate calendar installed, then your calendar will synchronize and so will your contacts and email. Now you have push gmail, contacts, and calendar. Because exchange will only synchronize a month of emails, I also setup my gmail as an IMAP account so I still have access to my old emails. The android email app is not as good as the gmail app IMHO, but it is a temporary solution, and new emails seem to show up faster this way!

I didn't do it, the Above Member had figured it out. Credit goes to him. & All sync to Gapps need turned Off. as Exchange uses it's own sync & it's not apart go gapps at all.
settings>accounts & Sync> Turn off Auto-sync feature.

Slight problem I'm encountering. It doesn't work for me at all. Using a G1 with AOSP17.
And btw, is it meant to be a '/' or a '\'?

did you check both the check boxes?

Then your setting up your exchange account wrong if it's not working

thats probably not a very constructive reply.

Meh, it just won't work for me properly. I finally made it work but it slows everything down for some reason.
Back to using Auto-Sync turn-on-and-off

I tried this but it keeps telling me authentication failed. All details are correct, checked three times. Any ideas?

I have a problem with exchange... after I set it up, my emails don't come in to the mail app. I have tried sending a new email and it doesn't show up in the mail app. I have also allowed it to sync and it still does not work. No emails show up in the mail app. Is anyone else having this problem?

OK that's strange but after giving me authentication errors earlier it has now synchronised my calendar. Funky..

Google Sync over exchange officially only works in the U.S. That might be causing some of the problems.

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.

How to make GMail give faster email updates?

I have 3 gmail accounts, and 5 regular POP accounts through my ISP.
In one of my Gmail accounts... lets call this my MASTER account.. I have it set to check my other 5 POP accounts and then put those other POP accounts into their own labels as well as combine everything into the INBOX.
On my Samsung Droid Charge running Froyo 2.2 I use the GMAIL app... in the app I have 3 GMAIL accounts setup. I have my MASTER gmail account, my gmail1 and my gmail2 accounts.
I find that the MASTER gmail account does not get me all of my POP accounts mail right away? sometimes I get my POP mail through this gmail account delayed by at least 15 minutes or more.
Coming from a Blackberry this is very annoying because the blackberry just 'pushed' me all of my accounts right away.. almost instantly... is there a way to have the Gmail MASTER account PUSH me my POP accounts instantly?
I heard that using the android EMAIL app and manually setting up all your POP3 accounts that you are PULLING mail and have to have the phone check the mail servers every few minutes.. this will KILL your battery very fast is what I hear... so that's why I am using the MASTER gmail account to get my POP accounts as well..
second question is... on the Android GMAIL app.. is there a way to combine ALL my gmail accounts into a single INBOX? I have 3 different gmail accounts setup and I have to toggle between each one to check the mail in each account... my blackberry used to take ALL of my accounts and put them all into a single message inbox on the phone... much easier and faster to read..
thanks all!

On my Thunderbolt, I have to use the HTC email client to check all my accounts in one box. If there is a way of doing it on the native gmail client, I have yet to figure it out as well. And yes, it is annoying.
I've given up with checking POP accounts. They never seem to load anything.

go on your computer and go to your gmail.. then under the settings you can add POP account checking to your gmail account.. then install the 'gmail app' on your phone and set up your gmail account... then you should see all the POP accounts come through into that gmail account as well... I just wish it was faster for the POP accounts.. more like PUSH email...
the blackberry always seemed to get my POP accounts right away! sometimes faster than even my microsoft outlook on the computer did.. and my outlook on computer is set to check my POP accounts every minute.

email deletion problem s8+ and gmail

So I setup my s8+ and setup my Gmail on the native email client. I selected as items arrive because I like having up to date email. When I go to delete a message on the S8+ it deletes, but shows a "deleted" sign and next to it "undo". I have since changed the setting to not ask to confirm, it still does it though. Now when I delete an email on the phone, it comes right back after a few seconds, I tested this with my Gmail opened on the website and it doesn't show deleted, however if I simply read them on the phone or mark them as read, it does correlate with Gmail and marks them as read. Testing the reverse, if I delete a message on Gmail, it does delete it automatically on the phone. What could be the problem? I've tried changing the web settings to auto expunge set to "off" and when a message is marked as deleted from the last IMAP folder move to the trash (used to be archive)

Maybe a bit more condensed. Basically the stock email app (s8+) has deleted emails keep popping back up. I have gmail on there with the "auto, as items arrive" setting. Marking as read does sync however., any ideas? Thank you!

My Gmail app has been doing this for a long time while using a secondary e-mail account within Gmail (My hotmail account).
I've never had a problem deleting Gmail e-mails though.
Just to clarify, this is for your GMAIL account correct?

Yeah, I am using the native Samsung Email client on the Galaxy s8+. When setting up my @gmail.com account., everything comes in quickly, marking as read works fine, the issue is when I delete an email, it comes back as soon as I refresh.

I have the same problem. And I think the reason is that your mail provider has the IMAP roth path folder named "INBOX"
But the samsung mail app has it as "Inbox"
This is why it works with Gmail and not other providers.
It can handle the incoming to place in correct folder. But when you delete it sends a request to the IMAP server to delete mail xxx placed in folder Inbox (Not INBOX)
And because there are no folder called Inbox on the IMAP server, nothing is removed.
Older samsungs/Android had both the option to "erase on server" and set "IMAP Root path folder" but the latest version don't

I have several accounts setup in the gmail app. Only one does this, my exchange email account for work. And it's not new and it's not related to the phone. This has been happening for years on multiple android versions and multiple devices when using the gmail client.

With third-party customers everything is in order and even with native problems did not notice.

"Unfortunately the stock android email app has the IMAP root folder names hard-coded in the app. They cannot be changed by user. The app expects the folders to be named
at the IMAP server exactly like this
Inbox
Outbox
Drafts
Sent
Junk
If IMAP-server uses different names the synchronization will not work properly"
So as I mentioned before. If Imap folder is named Inbox and not INBOX there might be problem. And it cant be fixed in other way than changing to a mail app that allows for manually setting the IMAP root folder name to INBOX

Me, too.

On my S8 phone I have 3 accounts (Gmail and TELUS) plus my Exchange account for work - and that's the only one that has this problem (Junk Folders messages reappear). Thank you for your post. Don't HAVE to have my work account on my phone so will remove it and hope that resolves this pesky issue.
