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.

[Q] Advanced Gmail client?

Im looking for an advanced version of the gmail client. Paid or free, it doesnt matter.
I need the basic functionality currently on offer (just for gmail addresses really), but with more options. Landscape view like in touchwiz would be nice, as well as better attachment options, etc..
Pretty vague but you know what i mean

Why not just use the stock Samsung email client?
Regards,
Dave

that k-9 mail is meant to be good

maildroid looks promising to , one free and one expensive version..

Try Moxier... thumbs up from me. Only cost 20 bucks

The stock client still doesn't deliver notifications properly on my jk5 rom.

stock client is pop, not push mail

Try the mail'd app off the norton ink. It does everything u want for free! Link is on here somewhere lol

Nonsense! I get push email from my GApps account using the stock client.
Hint: Use Exchange ActiveSync, which Gmail supports.

later, in account options, is possible to specify the "scan new messages timeout" that

First of all you are wrong in that IMAP doesn't poll - it can use poll at intervals if you wish. IMAP IDLE is a pseudo push, and that is what you are thinking of, but it is still a form of polling in essence.
However, all of this is immaterial!
In the stock email client, when you set up a new account you enter your email address and password. At this stage, you could click next and it would set up your Gmail account as IMAP. However, if you click Manual Setup, you get 3 options:
POP
IMAP
Exchange
Select Exchange account and then enter the follow:
Domain\Username : [email protected] (or [email protected] if you are using GApps for Domains)
Exchange Server : m.google.com (for both regular GMail and GApps for Domains email)
Press Next, and then you get the option to change the "Email Check Frequency", which by default should be "Automatic (Push)".
Job done! True push on stock email client.
Regards,
Dave

Wow, just wow. I didn't know about that exchange stuff. That's insane! Thanks!

hi,
i have configured my gmail account in order to send emails using another identities.
in gmail is possible to select the identity of the sender, but not in stock email app.
it's correct or i'm wrong

Thanks for the info, I just set this up on my tab and I can use the account to send mail but it seems like it's not receiving; also when I click the sync button it says unable to connect to server. very strange.

Thanks. It work perfectly in my tab.

AWSOME!
just tested this on my tab i like the mail app a little bit better then the gmail IMO

so it seems I'm the only one getting this connection error when I attempt to setup gmail exchange on the samsumg email app =(

Has anyone tried this with more than one exchange server? When I try to add an exchange server, the exchange button is grayed out. I'm guessing it's because I already have a different exchange e-mail setup?
Edit: Interesting - I deleted my other exchange account and I'm getting the same "Unable to connect" to server error message everyone else is getting. I even changed the domain to Google (using some old knowledge I used to do something similar to this to sync my contacts with Google on my old Windows phone devices: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138636).
Any ideas?

I had set up several gmail exchange accounts, and they all worked. However i think that app is memory hog, it's slow, with buggy notifications and in the end i switched back to the standard gmail one. Did you notice that there isn't really any alternative email client on the market?

[Q] Getting school mail in the stock mail app

I've been doing some searching across the web and I've yet to find a definitive answer on this issue. I'm trying to get my school email account to link to my Sensation via IMAP. My school uses Gmail as its mail server, so you'd think it would've been easy to link it. But I have yet to make this work after I've enabled IMAP on my email account, and tried numerous configurations in the IMAP server settings of the Sense mail app. Could anyone offer some help with this issue?
My school email address configuration is: "[email protected]"

Did you try setting up gmail with your school's email address?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

Yeah, I've selected the Gmail option when creating a new mail account and entered all the information I had. If it helps any, my browser's url says "mail.google.com" when I'm logged into my school's email account. I've tried "imap.mail.google.com" and "mail.google.com" along with "pride.hofstra.edu" and "imap.pride.hofstra.edu" in the IMAP server settings, but still no luck.

Try forwarding your school email account to another email account. I had this same problem and I just forwarded to my gmail account and everything is good now.

incoming server is imap.gmail.com if you're using gmail app/servers, and port 993 with SSL

@op, just call ur skool's tech team or whatever n have them help u with that. I had to do the same since the incoming and outgoing servers r diff, and have diff port #s. All this I dint know n I was wondering y my setups never worked.

Dude... you guys are making this 100 times more complicated than it actually is.
Enter it as a gmail account WITH NO SPECIAL SETTINGS and just enter your school email address for the gmail id, then enter your password as usual.
I did this for my work email and it worked in two seconds.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App

I've tried entering my information without any settings and the same issue about being verify IMAP settings appears. I entered "imap.gmail.com" and, strangely, it says that my username/pass is invalid. I tried logging into my account via the regular gmail.com and it says it my name/pass is incorrect (weird?). I suppose I could just forward my school email to my regular Gmail as a second option.
I think this issue might be more complicated than it seems, since my school is somewhat known for its poor competency when integrating tech into its network. I suppose the incoming and outgoing servers are different or something. I'll ask around at tech support when I go back in a few weeks and see if I can get this cleared up. Btw, I'm actually a student staff member of my school's tech support team. Albeit, I was only recently hired. Thanks for the suggestions, everyone!

Just enter [email protected] as a Google account under menu, settings, accounts and sync.
To access it via web it should be https://my.hofstra.edu/cp/home/displaylogin?service=/mobile/index.jsp
Yes you should enable imap and pop settings. You can also configure your main Google account to send and receive for your edu account. I have like 5 emails routed through my main gmail.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App

Just tried that, and it says that the password is invalid. I only need to sign in once for my school account to access all my services. There's also no mobile version for login either. And my IMAP and POP settings are both enabled on the regular desktop version. I guess I'll just route my mail through Gmail. Sounds much easier to do!

I also just had my school's emails forwarded to my Gmail account. I haven't had any problems this way and it took two seconds.

Are you typing in the full email address or only the id? You need the full email. Password may also be case sensitive.

Push Gmail on Stock android email client

Pretty much in the title. I have an exchange and google account i want to use the stock email client with, so i can cut down on the gmail app.
Exchange gets push, but the option for gmail is not there
Seems odd that the native android app does not support GOOGLE push?
Anyone got this working?
Failing that, can anyone recommend a stock like app that does do this?
Thanks

Cheers for reply but i think you misunderstood me.
What i am trying to do is use the stock android email client for both my exchange account and my gmail account.
I do not want to use the gmail app.
The stock android email client lets me push my exchange account, however there is no option for gmail, only set times such as 15 mins, 30 mins etc.

I haven't used the stock email app for some time, but IMAP needs to be enabled in your Gmail account. I cannot post links yet, but in your Gmail settings, click on the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab, and then under IMAP Access, click on "Configuration instructions" at the bottom. That will take you to a link where you can click on "Android".
OR you can have your Gmail account collect all your mail, then use the Gmail app on your phone. That's what I do.
Good luck!

Google email app proble: cannot sign in and doubled inbox emails. Not Gmail app

I am referring to the email app where you can sync several accounts. The problem is that when sending and receiving emails, for more than one time it says it could not sign in and then I receive repeated emails in my inbox.
The doubled emails are common and very annoying. I get them after I reply (I receive the exact same email I received just before replying).
The cannot sync issue appears when I am sending and receiving more than one email back and forth with someone.
Does anyone know what is happening?

May have something to do with the EMail server you are trying to connect to. I have 4 accounts (exchange, outlook, pop3) working using the Email app without issues (so far)

How is the Gmail account set up in your Email app? POP3? IMAP?
I've never used the Gmail accounts on the Email app, so unsure about any common issues. Hopefully others will chime in.

did not know that, thanks for pointing that out.
but i would like to get the google email app working as i really like it.

Another question. When you receive an email with a link, is it possible for you to open it by just clicking on it?
My links are only recognised as text. From memory I think all links were click able but I can be mistaken.
