I just wonder if there is a way of blocking/preventing other people with different sim-cards to access my mail that I configured on my phone?
Example:
I configure my mail on my phone with all settings like username and password. Then I accidently lose my mobile and someone finds it. But this guy who finds it want to use it for bad things. He can't get my PIN password so he puts his SIM-card into my mobile. Therefore he can access my mobile and go into my mail that's already been set up. So now he can read everything in my mail and even send mails from the phone.
How do I prevent this?

Change the password on your e-mail account if you know that your phone is lost. He cannot see it or change it from the device, so once you change it, he will not be able to access it anymore. Also, you can set a personal password lock, which is independent from the SIM card. Finally, there are a couple of apps that can do certain things if your device is lost/stolen. They are in the D&H section.
Thanks But I tried to whatch my received mails with my sisters SIM-card, and it worked :S so if I lose my phone... the person can read the mails that I've received... and that's not good. Do you have any solution?
Btw, I'll check the D&H section!

Mostly everything you can use will depend on whether the device is connected to the internet, which might not be the case depending on the knowledge of the thief. You could probably add an app for tracking in case the phone is lost or stolen though (if your device is GPS capable, that is).
One more thing..
When I want to receive my latest mails - like the one I've received within three days ago. I go to my inbox and select receive/send. But what it does is that it recieves every single mail I got in my "real" inbox. And that's not what I want. I want it to just dwnld the newest messages. Because if this works... I can manually delete my messages in my mobile Inbox, so it doesn't store the mails to long. Because if I lose my phone, the theif will only have accsess to around 5mails

I think that there is either a setting or an app to automatically purge the saved e-mail if they are in the device for +3 days or so. I will look into it.
Thanks, but do you know what's the problem is with that I get all my messages from my inbox when I press "receive/send" in my mobile inbox? Because I've set the setting to just get the mails from 3days..
just a thought, to prevent that you could just put a password on your phone? So the person who takes it cant access your phone let alone the mail etc.

just wanted to see if someone know the answers
I am not sure whether I really understand you but as suggested previously why don’t you use “Auto lock” with a password.(settings--->Lock..)
You can set after how many minutes or hours the device will be locked. After that time run up you need to input your password in order to able to use or see anything on your device

Hmm, it's more like an app that does the following:
Locks the phone (require a password) when turning on the phone. In that way, it doesn't matter if you have an extra SIM-card, because you can't access the phone. And then it's just a hard-reset that will restore the phone, but then my problem is solved - all my private files etc is gone with the wind
exactly! Even better if you use Microsoft exchange server mail then you don’t need to wait until the guy make hard reset you just simply remotely wipe your device
Use the lock function so go to start/settings and look for lock. Choose either 4 digit or more complex and set lock time as you wish. - i dont really knwo what more you would want because even if u switched sim, you would still have to crack the lock code.
Haha, so it was that simple ^^
Sometimes easy settings seems to be complicated but thanks for your replies
But the question about my email still remain :/
When I press "send/receive" my phone downloads every single mail. But when I go to Inbox-Tools-Options-My Account-Edit Account Setup I've already set the "download message" to from the past 3 days. What's the problem?

No probs, easiest solutions are always the best ones
mm not sure why that is doin that, setting the period should only download the relevant days...... what email provider u using? pop3? gmail? all work fine with me and i use exchange too.
If you cant sus it out, i would delete your email account, soft resest and set it up again.

mm that is strange, with those setting you should not be getting older mail?
Might sound odd, but have you tried a different setting, so like 1 week, or 1 day mail, save it and soft reset?
If not i will have a dig around.
somehow it seems to work now :S so I just hope it remains like that

under your Live messenger option in your ppc there is option on how often you wan to check for new Email.
Since I remember there is also a option which says "as arrives". That means emeddiatly after the mail arrives in your Hotmail account the mail will be pushed to your mobile device.
I confirm this option and really after few seconds the mail arrives, it will be also received on the hand device
Anyhow this option cost a lot battery power. therefore I set it every 15-30min.
ive found that option, set it to 15mins, sent myself a mail, waited an hour nothing?
still have to manualy send/recieve
in the options for sync, it says manual, I change it to every 15 mins etc go done and done to exit it, as soon as I go bck to check it, it has reverted back to manual again?
how do I make the 15 min option stick?

Yes, Exactly same thing happens to mine 'Hermes' with WM6.
But i get my e-mail as they arrive. I really wanted to to do the 'PUSH' only with in spcefied time frame! Which did not work for me for Hotmail account.
So i built this little program to assist me to do timed syncs(Check under my signature for rk-OSR
will have a try, cheers
Hi people... WM6.0 is bugging me - every time I send/receive it deletes all of my old mail... Is there any way to turn this off?
Thanks in advance!
No ideas?
I have the same issue with GMAIL, but could not find a setting on the device to stop the inbox deletes. Also, the gmail pop3 settings online are not that clear on what to do?
I have the same problem, and the only way I found to keep my important mail, is by moving them to the spam folder...
If you configure the settings for the mail account to download "All messages" then they won't get deleted unless you delete them manually (in which case they'll disappear next time you send/receive). Just make sure you've only got what you need in your server Inbox....or you've got an unlimited data plan as it may take a while to download them all!!
By default, new mail accounts are setup to download "messages from the last three days" IIRC, which is why messages older than that will disappear from the phone's Inbox on a send/receive.
HTH,
Mark.

gmail has a problem that it deletes any read mail. Kinda sucks, but it happens
In the Gmail options (not on your phone, but on the webpage) you can set it to retain a copy of the mail after POP retrieval.

has anybody successfully synced there fone to gmail???
cause i have run into a bit of a problem my fone checks gmail every 15 mins and i get my email and everthing but i cant send email. i use recent:username so that it doesnt deleat the messages on my fone. anyone?? know how to fix these?
I am having the same problem and I am looking for a fix right now. It's due to the port #"s that are required by gmail to send and recieve email through there servers.
I have it working...
what are your settings?
my outgoing mail server is 'smtp.gmail.com:465' then in the Options menu I have 'Outgoing mail requires authentication' selected, and 'use separate settings' is NOT selected.
Maybe try that...I know the Outgoing Mail requires Authentication needs to be selected in order for you to be able to send mail...
if I could suggest maybe searching the posts for a direct push email service, many of which are free, getting that setup, then simply forwarding all of your gmail to the direct push account. making sure it leaves copies in ur gmail inbox for checking/archiving later from ur pc.
it works fine for me on my phone,i can send and recieve flawlessly. my outgoing server is smtp.gmail.com:465 as well
ok thanks u guys it was easy i had the 'use separate settings' selected. but once i unselected it.. it worked.. so u guy know of any good free service for pushing gmail, that works good??

mail2web offers free push service, and you can forward your gmail from the account options to a mail2web account. I was doing that for a while and it worked extremely well! Website can be found at: http://live.mail2web.com
you know, its funny. i was just working on this today as well.
i have the settings that pocket outlook found for me:
incoming mail: pop.gmail.com:995
outgoing mail: smtp.gmail.com:465
domain is blank. i have the use seperate settings unticked etc..
but it keeps asking me for my username and password and domain
i am using the correct username and password as far as i can tell. connects okay on my pc with that login. but it keeps failing on my wizard. do i need to put something in the domain area?

So after trying what seems like an endless number of radios, I'm unable to send emails from my phone using Gmail. Before flashing Hyperdragon III onto my phone, I was able to send/receive email no problem. Now I'm only able to receive, can't send email at all - says Unable to send message(s) - error synchronizing.
If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be awesome. This is starting to get frustrating.
start, settings, connections, manage existing, proxy settings, un-check this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet
Checked that and the option to use a proxy is already disabled. Any other ideas? Definitely appreciate the suggestion tho.
PS. I also have the cabs to enable/disable the cingular/att proxy and neither makes a difference. Before changing the ROM, emails would send regardless of which setting I used. Hope this helps.

Edit Account setup, then keep hitting mext until you get to the outgoing server settings and after "smtp.gmail.com" add ":587" to the end.
Worked immediately for me. It has to do with the new server authentication that wm6.1 or something requires.
Hope that fixes your problem! let me know if I need to be more specific, I'm at school and I gotta run.
Tried that and no dice. Does seem to be a WM6.1 issue though from what I've been reading.
maybe you should flash different HyderDragon...as there are two new versions came out. Or maybe try to flash the radio...Do you know what radio version you were using before flashed to HDIII?
Don't think it's the radio at this point. I've tried most of them in an attempt to fix the problem, but the 6.0-6.1 upgrade seems to be the culprit.

it prolly is, i mean since its release theres been all sorts of bugs reported ( as well as with HPD III, hence why i wont flash it ) but imo what u should do is start over..
re-flash, get ur new radio and take it from there
Jstar
try running the remove hidden proxy cab and then run the restore hidden proxy cab. i had this problem with gmail before and i think thats how i fixed it. it has nothing to do with the radio your using. just go to at&ts site and look up the connection settings and make sure everything makes sense...
If that doesn't work.
You could always try this.
I seriously doubt this is a radio related issue

Checked that already, too. I'm not exactly a total noob I've had all my stuff working perfectly until upgrading to WM 6.1. The Hyperdragon rom was after the initial upgrade from 6-6.1. Email sending (receiving is fine) through my Gmail accounts just doesn't seem to work now. I suppose I can go back to stock, but... *shudder*
My sister recent went from a Blackberry to a Thunderbolt. She liked how on the BB she could delete an email off her phone and still keep it on the server and wants to know if it's possible to do this on the Tbolt. She doesn't use gmail. It's a Cox Communications email account. Is it possible to do this on Android?

Stolen from another forum (original post regarded an EVO - but likely applies to all Android OS phones.
----------------
Mail accounts use one of 3 protocols: Exchange, IMAP and POP. Both Hotmail (as of a few weeks ago) and Exchange use over-the-air (Active) sync technology so when you delete a message on your phone, it's removed from the server and thus your client program as well (web/Outlook). IMAP also supports a similar 2-way update.
In order to only delete messages off your phone but not the server, you need to set up your mail accounts with POP instead. POP downloads a copy of and sends mail to/from the server -- nothing else. Hotmail supports POP but your Exchange server may or may not (a lot of larger companies policies do not). You'd have to contact the Administrators to find that out.
If they don't allow POP on Exchange, then ask if they can forward a copy of your mail to another public mail service, like Gmail. Then you can add the Gmail account to your phone via POP.
Remember, if you still want to sync your Contacts and Calendar with Exchange, you need to keep those and just uncheck Mail instead of deleting the Exchange account entirely.
-----------------
My 2c:
Not sure if it will work - I personally just delete on the fly, be damned the server. However, when I had an old LG v11000 (Envy Touch) I had the VZW email service on it - and even if I deleted from the phone, it was sitting on the server when I logged into Gmail. It was set up "POP3" style.
IF you go under mail/menu/more/settings/send & Receive you can check the box that says "delete mail on server" to turn it on or off. I turn it off so that it will leave a copy on the server but remove it from my phone.

I am having the same, or a similar problem. On my PC I use POP3 to access my mail; the ISP recommended using IMAP on the HTC (with different "in" and "out" mailbox settings for the HTC IMAP i.e. on the HTC two different settings for in and out). Was working fine but then found that messages I had received on my HTC were not appearing on my PC when I got home (my PC had been off, usually it is on, syncing every 2 minutes). I think this is because I had deleted them from my HTC in the meantime.
Trouble is, there is no setting ""delete mail on server" to check or uncheck under mail/menu/more/settings/send & receive, so I cannot follow the above advice. Only Mail size limit, Update schedule, Download options (it's not in there), Auto download message, Folder to sync, Reply with original text and Always bcc me.
What am I missing please ? Software says it is Android 2.3.3.
Thanks in advance.
I use K9 mail and go to more/settings/fetching mail/when I delete
I am flummoxed. I changed the HTC settings from IMAP to POP and did some tests; nothing being deleted ie still available on server. But when I looked at "Send and receive" options, I now have a list with 2 new option, inluding ""delete mail on server". It was not there before. Honest !!
I have been bak and re-set the thing to IMAP, and then the option about deleting from the server disappears again. So I am not going mad. But why should the options be different ?
low on memory
My father In-law has a Thunderbolt and is constantly having a low on memory issue on his phone.. When I go and look at his app's, his exchange is hogging up 2.6 gigs of memory while everything else (APPS) is using only KB'S of memory nothing big.. How would I be able to transfer his exchange email to the SD card,, He has a 32 gig card with 26 gigs of it being free.
