Gmail + WM6

I am using the default email software supplied with WM6 on my TMobile Wing to check my Gmail account. I didn't want to have an extra Java app installed just to check Gmail, as I am really low on program space.
I like how it works, except for one little thing - when I get my mail, it also downloads emails that I have SENT and puts them into my Inbox as if I had received it, or sent it to myself. How do I stop this? Is there any way to make the software stop downloading from the Sent folder on Gmail?
Thanks!

Are you using POP to access your gmail? In the POP settings on your gmail site you can create a filter to control which email is downloaded via POP, so you could probably create a filter which excludes sent email

Yep, POP3 access.
That sounds like just what I need. I'll check out the Gmail FAQ and see what I can find.
Thanks!

Ok I didn't see anything to fix that in the Gmail settings or FAQ. Blah. I may just access it via the webpage. I liked having the poutlook do it though. Oh well.

Hmm use EMOZE

You can easily create POP3 account in WM5 or WM6 and manually do send receive or you can setup intervals which pocket outlook will access your Gmail account. In fact in pocket outlook when you create new pop email account for Gmail the setting will be made automatically. You simply need to enter your email address and password
Anyhow before doing above you need to enable POP3 in Gmail Web.
acces your web gmail --> go to settings and enable the POP3 access. Under settings there is also a tab for email filtering in which you can define which mails should be forward to POP3
Furthermore If you wan to have push mail, you can apply for free http://mail2web.com account. It is free MS exchange service. Forward your Gmail's to your mail2web account and it will push it to your device. (it functions perfectly)

I think you guys are misunderstanding my problem.
I have it sending/receiving manually, and it works just fine.
The problem is if I send a message at home on my computer, then I get my Wing and access my mail, it downloads the message I sent from my sent folder onto my phone, as if it were in my inbox.

What exactly is "pushing" btw?

RVM,
as I mentioned go to settings in your gmail web account there is the tab of filters. Then create a filter with your email
i.e:
from : [email protected]
Pushmail is similar to blackberry email, email that comes to your inbox will be pushed (send) to your hand device. You save manualy checking your inbox.

That's what I did. I went into filters and there was no option to have it not allow the sent mail to be downloaded via a POP3 client. I may have missed something so I will go have another look.

thank you very much

My push email is set to real-time, how can I change it to every 30 mins?

Because it drains my battery in 10 hours, how can I change it to check every 20 mins? I am using Email on 3, and I only have a choice of real-time or none. How can I change it to perhaps, every 30 minutes?

Hi,
i think you didn't undestand what push-mail is. Push mail is realtime or nothing. You should change your settings to pop3 or imap, not imap-idle. Then you can use setting like 'all 20 minutes'

How can I change my settings to pop3? WHere can i find it? and which should I use for every 2 hours? pop3, imap?

Hi,
the polling intervall is not an indicator for using POP3 or IMAP. There's a difference in handling the mails. You shoul dtake a look at wikipedia for both items. In short form: POP3 gets all messages from your mailserver to your device while IMAP at firs sight only shows the headers and the text only by demand. But the mail itselve will allways stay at the mailserver. There are some more differences.
But anyway, i htink this should not be the reason for draining your batterie, because it takes just e few seconds for checking mails. Only if you will get kilobytes of attachements this could drai it, but you will have this problem even if you receive all 2hours.

Ah, I understand now, where can I find the settings on my phone however?

under account settings inside the inbox

cant find it., where exactly?

menu->tools->options

Im at options, but all I get is accounts eg:
SMS/MMS
Outlook Email
New Account
Security ... Signatures
A tick for "display account picker when opening messageing:"
Tabs at the bottom which are:
Accounts --> Message --> Address --> Storage
Ive checked everything but no where i can change to pop3.. hmmm?

Reading through all the post I am not yet sure what kind mail you are using????
If you really using PUSHMAIL (microsoft exchange server) as you said in your first post then you suppose to be able to change the sync. time in the Activesync.-->MENU-->schedule... then choose the time.
If you using POP3 account then you should be able to change that under the POP3 account(the name that you choosed for that account.) settings.

Actually im using a program called email on 3. It's what my carrier provides its customers for free email sent ot mobile.. is this the case?

So that means you have special program which pulls your email isnt it??
are we talking about this service as it is here: http://www.three.com.au/cs/ContentServer?c=Page&pagename=Three/Page/ThreeLayout&cid=1236149918167

yep,that's the one. any advice?

I recently switched to ThreeUK and was initially very impressed with this free push email service. Unfortunately I soon stopped using it because it drained my battery so quickly. If they could sort this app out, it would be a very good service and a real reason to entice people onto Three.

Email APP problem

I'm triying to configure my working email on my captivate.
Y have all the configuration information an when i put in on the phone everithing test ok, incoming and outgoing email.

Please Help. I have tried it on POP and IMAP i whant it on IMAP do.
Thanks.

We need more info. What e-mail are you using (hotmail, gmail, exchange,other?), which e-mail app, what version of android do you have on your phone and what modifactions have you done, and what are the settings you using? For example,
I am running Cog beta 7, froyo, and replaced the e-mail app with this opne here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8453938&postcount=99
I am running my hotmail, aol and att.net e-mails on it.
Hotmail and AOL was automatic in settings, but att.net required a bunch more
For exchange I am using roadsync.

I have Android 2.1
I'm using my working email with the same configuration y have on my outlook an everywhere.
I even download K-9 Mail from the market and used the same configuration and it worked.
the thing is that I what to use the standard that comes with the captivate, because amonge meny thing it has the link on the home screen and is like ussless.
Please Help.
thanks.

Did you change the sync 3 day setting? Press menu, settings, accounts and sync. Select the exchange account and change the days to 1 month. Also try sendin yourself a message, if it does not send or receive, there is something wrong with your settings.
Also if you are using exchange, check with your admin that your username did not get locked out, happend to me and I had no idea. If it is another e-mail, and not exchnage having an issue, let me know exactly which e-mail is giving you an issue.

use k-9 and forget the samsung junk. you can even put it on the launch bar.
k-9 is the fastest android mail app that ive tried. it was almost real time. not that 5 minute sync that the stock one and many others have. mail droid is similar but having both running k-9 gave the notifications first.
if you dont know how to change the apps on the launch bar, press the applications icon, press menu, change view type to customizable grid.
press menu, choose edit, move desired icon to the launcher.
press menu, select save.

I agree with Dani, if the stock app does not work and K-9 does, use K-9. If the settings are correct and it still does not work, it may be an issue with the app.

[Q] Sense 3.0 Email Questions

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.

Push Mail

Hi
Is there anyway to speed the time the mail is sent to the phone from the time it is received by the service provider (that is like Hotmail or POP)
i have found it takes 30mins or more sometimes for the mail to reach my phone and it has been received by hotmail.
can anyone give me some advice on how to make this time shorter.
i am running RCMix3D Runny v3.3 on my inspire 4G
best regards

Most e-mail clients allow to adjust how often it queries the e-mail servers. It sounds like your client is using the default setting of 30 minutes or something. You'll have to go into the settings and adjust the "Check for e-mail every x minutes" setting.
If you want to receive Hotmail in realtime, you'll have to use the official Hotmail app in the Market.

X2 on the hotmail app, it works great. Also I found with the stock mail app when you delete messages it won't delete them off the server, the hotmail app does it instantly

How do you have hotmail setup? I have it setup as an exchange account in the default mail app and everything works instantly (receiving messages, deleting messages (which are also deleted from server), etc). I usually have it set to only sync every 15 minutes to save battery, but when set to push it works instantly.
server address: m.hotmail.com
username: full email address
Server requires SSL

This is what I have done and it is working great. Go to your email provider (Hotmail, POP3, whatever it may be) and set it to forward all your emails to your Gmail address (you do have a Gmail address, right?). Use the Gmail app on you phone and your emails will get pushed to you instantly. You can also set your Gmail account to use your other email address for replies and forwards, so it looks like it's coming from the original address and not Gmail.

Thanks for the excellent info people i really didnot know there was a hotmail app. but it was setup for every 30 minis. i have changed it to 5 mins cause thats the lowest i saw. i also want to find out about the the download messages which is set to 200. does this mean that the phone will only download 200 messages "per day"?
1 last final question which i am curious about. i have other folders created in my hotmail such as sent and drafts etc. usual folders is it possible to sync these folders with my phone inorder that my hotmail account will be in sync with my phone.
sometimes i use my computer to send out mails as well as my phone. but i cant sync the sent folder. please bear in mind i have not installed the hotmail app.
however i will try it as soon as i am finished sending this post.
thanks again people for your kind support.

You can try playing around with the settings in Gmail. I know they have fileters that you can set. I haven't tried it personally but I imagine you could set it to put the emails you forward from your other accounts into specific folders.

Try out K-9 off the Android Market
You'll never turn back. Fully customizable (potentially overwhelming).

Create a filter in Gmail for your hotmail account and add a label named "hotmail", then forward to your Gmail account. Check sync "hotmail" folder in Gmail app. settings
