Email problem in Orbit 2 - General Questions and Answers

Has anyone come across this problem. I have 3 different ISP's sending in emails to my Orbit 2. When one comes in there is an envelope showing at the top of the screen. As soon as i touch the envelope it disappears and when I open up the "Inbox" of any of the emails, there is nothing there. None of my previous emails are in the inbox, nothing in the sent box. I can go online with my home computer and get the emails there, but nothing seems to be retained on my XDA. If anyone has any ideas I would be grateful.

Did you ever manage to see emails in your inbox?
did you make sure you moved between the right email accounts?

Thanks your reply. Yes I did see the emails in the inbox, but lately even when they downloaded into the inbox and I managed to read them, they were never retained when the xda was switched off and I have no record that they ever existed.
Thanks

Outlook emails getting attached to text messages!?!?

This is really going to get me in trouble at some point, I can just tell...
More than a few times in the past few weeks, I've sent a simple SMS message, only to get a call from the recipient saying something like "Dude, what the heck was all that about?" - because after my text in the message, it has inserted text from a WORK email in my outlook account! Usually these are deleted emails no less - and by deleted I mean not even in the deleted items folder.
I've got 3 email accounts set up on my phone. Two are pop accounts that get auto checked every two hours. The one that keeps getting it's emails attached to texts is the "Outlook Email" account, which is "governed" by a program called NotifyLink, which syncs my work emails to my phone across the GPRS network. It's the only way my work will allow mail sync to my phone. It seems to always be this account that the text messages "attach" from...
I've been aware of my cemail.vol file being filled with garbage for awhile now, evidenced by the fact that it's currently 1.26M, and anytime I delete emails (even a TON of them), it does not decrease in size. And yes, I'm also emptying the deleted items folder. But, I don't want to do the fresh cemail.vol trick, becasue I don't want to lose my emails and SMS, and because the one time I DID try it (thankfully having backed up cemail.vol beforehand), it erased my MMS account entirely. I only had Outlook Email and SMS.
So, and sorry for being so long, has anybody else experienced this, or does anybody have any ideas on what's happening and how to STOP it?
Sooner or later I just know it's going to attach a sensitive email in a text to exactly the wrong person...gulp...
Please help, all suggestions/observations/thoughts welcome!!
Thanks,
Sorry, should mention it's a tornado (t-mobile SDA) - duh...

Pocket Outlook Partial Emails Being Sent

Hi everyone,
I have searched exhaustively on this forum and via google but cannot find a solution anywhere.
Certain emails that I send via Pocket Outlook are only partially being sent. (longer emails)
Its not an SMTP issue because I have tried 3 different SMTP servers and the same thing is happening.
What is very strange is that the entire messages shows up in the sent folder but when someone else receives it only a paragraph shows up. (I have also sent them to one of my emails to test and they are partially showing up). But what is even odder is that its not with all messages, some are being received fine.
I thought that it could be some kind of font issue but that didn't work.
If someone has any ideas I would be grateful as I use the phone for business and my customers are not receiving full emails so its a big problem for me. Also just to add I am pretty sure this just started happening recently and I haven't changed any settings either.
Thanks again for your replies.

Q: Unread email notification stuck in TF3D

I have a Sprint Touch Pro and the new email notification is stuck in TF3D. It was working fine for a few days, but now it always says I have 1 unread email. I am not syncing email with activesync, just using IMAP gmail. I removed my gmail account and did a soft reset... it still shows 1 unread email. It's driving me nuts! If I actually have 1 unread email in gmail, it shows I have 2. If i have 0 unread emails, it shows I have 1. Where the heck is this setting stored? Something is obviously stuck but I can't find it. Thanks in advance.
I seem to be having this problem myself, but with the voicemail notification.
Keeps sayins I have 1 new voicemail, but when i check it, i don't have anything there.
bump. I'm sure others will experience this. 2 friends at work have the same thing happening to them as well. Anyone have any ideas?
Try clicking on All Messages... in the mobile outlook window check all your accounts (sent, inbox, drafts, etc.) and make sure there is no unread mails. I had this happen to me after I setup a new account. There is a new default mail that is created when you create a new account that I had missed.

Having the same problem with "1 New Voicemail" in TF3D and the little icon in status bar I select dismiss voicemail notification but it stays there.
: Edit Myculito are you using Phone Alarm by any chance?
I just "tap and held" on the notification on PhoneAlarm and said "Reset Count" and it seems to be gone now,

Just wanted to post my fix.
I do not have the issue with voicemail, only the new email notifications.
The steps that alexk1f described worked like a charm... just forgot to update my thread that it was solved. Thanks alexk1f!

Jules, I'm not using PhoneAlarm.
I fixed the stuck Voicemail issue. I made a call, and left 2 new voicemails to make sure that there were at least messages there.
I then checked my voicemail from the phone, and all is good now.
There is a cab to fix this. Search through the English ROMeOS thread in the ROM development forum
So the fix was for vmail but not messaging. What it looks like is that TF3D has old text messages wedged in cached somewhere - I had two text messages that kept showing up despite deletes. They finally stopped getting delivered and the inbox is clean but the image and notification persists.
Try SKTools and clear the notification queue.
I have this issue too on my Touch HD
I have cleared duplicate notifications in the queue, but I am unsure what else to clear, and the 1 mail notification is still there.
Any other ideas?
OK fixed, it seems as though that damn ghost email had been created in two places, not just in my email inbox, but also in the activesync one, which I hadn't even set-up.
Probably worth going through every single folder in messaging even if you think you know better

fixunreadcount:

Phone numbers instead of names in stock HTC messages

I seem to have a weird problem with the Messages app from HTC. Searched all over the internet and XDA and nobody else seems to have reported the issue.
The issue is, if I go into the Messages app, the list shows all contacts names fine. But for some contacts, if I click into them, it shows the message history, but on top where it's supposed to show the name, instead shows their phone number, minus any separators, and a ">" symbol at the end.
Say, for example, a contact in the Messages app is John Doe. I see John Doe in the messages list, then when I click into it, instead of name it goes to, say, 15555555555>, and sometimes the whole thing is just black.
On the bottom where I write reply, the number shows up fine exactly as it's formatted in the actual contact info.
But if I try to reply there, when I click "Send", the keyboard disappears, but the message never gets sent, and this happens no matter how many times I try to reply or type the message again. As long as it's a reply, it doesn't work. But starting a new message to the same contact works just fine, but it's annoying to have to type the whole message, then copy and paste, and start a new message to the contact just to reply.
And it wouldn't be inconsistent formats either. Some numbers I have in both Google and Phone, I can delete all phone numbers except the Google one in the problem contact and issue persists. Some contacts have the number laid out the same way in (xxx) xxx-xxxx as the problem contact, and still works. I can change the problem contacts' phone number format to xxxxxxxxxx or 1xxxxxxxxxx and neither fixes anything.
I've tried pulling the battery, turning off fast boot and pulling battery, restarting, all the same result.
And this ONLY happens with the stock Messages app, all the other SMS apps I downloaded off the Market works just fine.
Any help would be appreciated, it's starting to drive me nuts.
Thanks!
I have noticed something odd about the stock messaging as well. In the text box where you type, some contacts display a phone number in the top of the box, while some do not. I don't know what causes it. I thought it was the way that HTC Sense sync'd to FB, but that didn't change anything.

I think it may have something to do with the Select Contact Name option when you edit a contact. Say I have a two phone numbers and an email address for Bob. Once I set "Bob" as the contact name for his entry, that it what appears when I start composing messages to him.
I hope this helps.

I can confirm the issue, so at least you're not the only one. But in my case it went away on its own sometime between temp rooting and unsuccessful over clocking
I posted this a week or so, I don't know if it helped the last person. but I had this EXACT problem and it was unbelievably frustrating when I first got this and after a few days of searching and banging my head against the wall, I found something that worked. This problem arised when I had double contacts from my messaging and I tried to rectify it. Eventually I got it all to work fine.
This is how you solve it (or how I solved mine).
1: Sync everything to Google. Edit the contact list in google (use the automatic duplicate deletion), delete useless contacts etc.
2. Remove contacts from EVERYWHERE. Sim card, phone, uncheck google sync. Your phone should then be completely empty for contacts.
3. Re-sync with google contacts. if you want you can copy it back to the SIM and you shouldn't get doubles. I think I just left it with google only but the end result is I don't have 9 different "danny's" show up when I go to compose new message because I know three of them.
This issue is bugging me too...
After experimenting today I have figured out why it is happening; any contact I have with an email address within the contact details I get the name followed by the mobile number within the HTC stock message app... Any contacts without an email address are fine.
I have experimented by removing an email address from the contact and straight away the said contact will display correctly in the HTC message app.
Unfortunately I have not yet figured out how to have contacts with phone numbers and email addresses display correctly. Real shame as loving my new Sensation... a minor niggle I guess
Tgis has happened to my phone once, but rectified itself with a soft-reset. It hasn't happened again since then. Not much help here, but its definitely not an isolated incident.

Yes, This happened with me too.... But after i synchronised my accounts with my HTC and google contacts.... it was all sorted out...i was just thinking of hard reset.... but i was saved Try it once...

Gmail Stuck in Outbox

Has anyone had this problem with the HTC One S? Outgoing emails with attachments get stuck in my outbox (wifi or cellular) and the old "Clear data/Clear cache" under gmail in app settings isn't doing the trick for me here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
can you use any kind of task killer
sign in/out
turn on/off airplane mode
delete outgoing email if possible
syncing turned on
pull sim and disconnect from tower then then reinsert
remove and re-add account
are the files too big or have you tried a small one too?
don/t have answer, just some ideas--sorry--
Size limit on recieving mailserver? Should say undeliverable though.
Rebooting multiple times, pulling the sim, and removing and readding account seemed to work. Thanks for all the help.
that issue happens to me all the time on any device and usually when my email is so freaking important....
glad you got it
it seems to be a long term gmail issue, not as prevalent as a year or two ago though
It is a long term ongoing issue. Usually when I reboot my device it starts working again. I realized to use either the built in client or k9 for when sending email with attachments from my gmail account.
"solved"
I think I found a way to solve this problem. With Galaxy Nexus android 4.2.
I had a series of emails with attached pictures stuck in my outbox, some since tonight and one since a few weeks. I selected them all and deleted them from the outbox by clicking on the trash icon. As soon as I did this I started receiving replies from the same messages by the people who finally received them. I checked my sent mail and the deleted messages from the outbox were all there where they belonged.
Hope it works for you as well
