I have the 232 WinMo 6.5 ROM from Bbsandkm over at PPCGeeks. I have the mail set up for my Gmail account, checking every 2 hours. For some reason, it is not checking the email. Instead, about every 2 hours, it simply brings up the mail screen on the Titan! I'll turn on my Titan to do something, and there is the mail screen. And even more weird, the Titanium email panel never shows that I have new messages.
I've seen this before on plain 6.1 ROMs, where mail simply doesn't automatically check mail anymore; but this is even more strange since it is bringing up the email window. Anyone got any ideas on this? Otherwise I am going to have to reflash this baby.
Thanks!

I've just upgraded to a Hermes from an Alpine so I'm just getting used to WM5.
I have 3 POP3 email acounts that I have set up to download automatically headers and 2K of messages.
When I get new mail I, of course, get the notification.
If I do not read the mail either by choosing dismiss or view if there are multiple messages so I leave unread messages on the device I get a new mail notification again. I believe that this is the next time that the download is scheduled.
I've searched in the Wizard and Universal forums for notification problems but I cannot find anything about this.
So two questions
1. Is this normal on WM5 ?
2. Is it possible to stop this happening?
This is normal its just reminding you of unread messages.
Thanks, that's what I feared.
IMHO it isn't the way it should work. Even if you have it set to 10 minute download, you can receive quite a few messages in that period. You may only have time to respond to an important one because you are going to be busy for a while. At the same time you then want to know of any new mail and do notwant to keep looking at your phone every 10 minutes to see if the new mail really is new.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Take a look at phonealarm. (www.pocketmax.net)
The app provides repeating alarms for email/sms/missed/voice etc)
Works very well on universal on wm5 so should do on yours - extensive support via the forum.

Thanks Matt but I want less alerts. Seems to me that it's poutlook that raises the notification for unread emails as new email even though you have acknowledged it once.
I have VZW TP2 and I use an exchange server to sync my email, contacts, calendars and tasks across my mobile phone, desktop and laptop.
For some reason, on this phone, it doesn't update certain things that I've done of my desktop or laptop for a while. I even manually go into active sync and click "sync now" and it doesn't update.
For example, if I'm on my desktop or laptop and I delete a message in my inbox, it won't update on my phone until it receives another message. Even if I click "send & recieve" in Outlook on my desktop/laptop and then manually click sync on my TP2, the email won't dissapear until another message is received. Also, today I deleted a calendar appointment on my laptop (which was for today) and even after many syncs on both my laptop outlook and on my TP2 via active sync/send recieve etc, the appointment is still showing up on the homepage screen and in my calender.
Anyone ideas?
I am having trouble with mine syncing as well. In Activesync, I get an error saying something about the server not being able to be reached. It may be an intermittent connection problem. It was working fine up until a few days ago. Also, make sure in your Schedule in Activesync is set to 'As Items Arrive'.
I had a problem with syncing then realized from some dumb reason the default option on off hours was manual sync and not "push", after making that change my issue stopped.
this is not a question of configurationi...
i have activesync set up for as items arrive in peak AND off peak. all days are checked, and for safe measure - peak time is from 12a to 11:59pm. so i'm covered there.
BUT i have the same delay issue. i can sent a test email from another email account on my deskto TO the exchange inbox on my device. i will watch it arrive almost instantly to the web portal of that same exchange inbox...but wait 10, 15, sometimes 20 minutes for the device's activesync to "wake up" and decide to sync on its own to retrieve that test message.
totally ridiculous.
yes, it is "push", but it's CLEARLY not instand (or even "immediate") push. certainly not comparable to a blackberry (which i despise and refuse to use).
so far, htc, verizon, and my hosted exchange company have been unable to offer a solution. i'm told, "a 5 to 10 minute delay is totally acceptable when using activesync exchange".
that is totally UNACCEPTABLE in the professional world.
i would go back to using goodlink (as i did with my old xv6800, befoe upgrading to the tp2), but it doesn't work well with touchflo 3d. and to be honest, what's the sense of using the tp2 if you can't enjoy the the new interface?
anyone have any suggestions? can this be fixed??????
The delay in syncing emails getting deleted is common. I don't know this for sure, but I'm pretty sure I read that receiving a new email is the trigger to sync all changes in the mail folders.
As far as it taking 10 - 20 minutes to get new mail, that does not seem normal. I get new mail on my TP2 before they show up in my inbox on my desk and I have on all the "direct push" phones that I've had. Are there other users on your Exchange server you can compare to? That way you'd know if it were just you or the server.
here's a solution!
after speaking with trusted friends and valued forum members (thanks guys for your input), i've decided to ditch "the message center" (the aforementioned exchange hosting company that gave me that "acceptable email delivery" crap). i opened a newa account with another company that advertises IMMEDIATE email delivery via activesync. wish me luck!
I've been syncing mine with an Exchange 2007 Environment that I setup personally and I have had no problems with my Touch Pro 2. Everything has synced just fine. Make sure you double check all of your settings on your phone and if need be on the Exchange Server itself.
my company uses exchangemymail.com for our email hosting. We have a ton of mailboxes using all sorts of devices. blackberry, wm, iphones. I use tp2 via echange active sync. I get emails near instant. calendar updates are near instant. deleted items needs a new email to trigger syncing as I believe that is the way it just works.
the issue is prevalent on all androids: when using htc's mail to add hotmail (or sounds like any email), the synchronization is not quite right... if you have viewed or deleted an email, it is not reflected on the mail server and therefore the next synchronization you will be notified of "new mail" even though you have just read/deleted it.
everyone is blaming the fact it is a POP issue and the solution is to use Exchange or IMAP. there are MANY hits on google with supposed solution. however when i tried them out, i am still getting that annoying problem.
Use K9 mail. I have never had a phantom new mail with any of my non gmail email.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using the power of the dark side.
+1 to K9 mail
tried k9 for 5mins
it doesnt work very well with hotmail (according to the warnings) and i recall i had a problem with hotmail would put up captcha (the image verificaiton) and hinder k9's ability to get mail.
Go to your Hotmail account email option on your computer not your phone.
look for "POP and deleting downloaded messages"
There are 2 options,
Don't let another program delete messages from Hotmail. (If your other program is set to "delete messages from the server," we'll simply move them to a special POP folder. They won't be deleted.)
Do what my other program says-if it says to delete messages, then delete them.
Select the second one. It works for me. Your problem should go away.
For some reason Hotmail Exchange ActiveSync is not the true Exchange ActiveSync.
ah thanks. i recall they recently implemented that feature... that explains why my hero (which was working) also suddenly broke.
edit: it works. all fixed.
now i cant be any happier with my inspire (battery could always be better)
Ok, I have a number of email related problems...
I'm using POP to sync with my business email, hosted on a managed server.
I can access email no problem, and send.
But, I have the phone set-up to check for mail every 30 mins or so, and it does this ok, and reports 'X' new messages, but when I go to the mail app it shows 'no mail', and I have to refresh to actually see the mail. Very, very annoying, and I guess is costing me more as the phone is data downloading twice! A real issue as I'm 'roaming' a lot...
With mail receiving that's about all the problems. but I'd love a fix if it's something I'm doing wrong.
But, with sent mail the phone seems to decide to delete all sent mail, no matter what setting I have set for mail.
I have no idea why this happens, and more importantly how to stop it.
All previous phones (this is my first Android one) kept all sent mail until I deleted it.
Any ideas regarding these problems?
Clear your mail data from setting and do a fresh mail set up afterwards. Good luck
Ok, trying now...
Is this a known problem???
Hi!
I'm having a very irritating problem and was hoping someone could help.
I am running stock ICS on my skyrocket, and I have my gmail account set up as exchange in the stock mail app. I can generally send/receive just fine, however I have one friend who 50% of the time seems to receive my email responses to her emails as blank. When I look at them in my sent folder of gmail on my computer, they show up as blank there as well, making this massively irritating since I then have to re-type the entire message.
Any idea what's causing this? I actually was having the same problem emailing her on my Nexus 7 as well from the stock email set up in the same fashion as my phone. And she does not have this problem with anyone else.
Thanks!
