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.

Email Automatic Downloads

Guys,
Is anyone experiencing problems with the automatic retrieval of email messages.
I have my HD2 set up the same as my Touch HD but unlike the Touch HD the HD2 does not forward emails unless I first hit Send/Receive.
Can't for the heck of it figure out what I'm doing wrong!

what kind of email provider are you using? i'm using hotmail, wich doesn't even has a pop or imap feature, but in email inbox, go to (right soft key) menu>extra>options and tap on your email provider in the list and go to sync schedule and set the sync frequency to: as items arrive. At least, this option I use for hotmail. It is a windows live feature btw.

I use seven from www.seven.com for my work email and my gmail account. works fine...

Guys, It's not the provider that is the problem..... That's why I mentioned both my Touch HD (which works perfectly) & my HD2 both share the same settings.
As to the settings you mention hyellow; I'm happy in how to set up sync schedule and frequency (again, I don't have any problems with the Touch HD).
It's frustrating, especially seeing as I don't consider myself a novice.

Sorted..... and it was down to something stupid I had missed.
I had the box ticked under "This netwok connects to a Proxy server".
Once I had unticked it I now receive my email messages automatically without any intervention.
A small item easily missed.
This was a 'biggy' for me.
I needed auto email retrieval set to the 5minute minimum so that if fellow surgeons needed to send me patient details I was warned in advance.
Thanks again to hyellow & zsilak who gave their time in helping.:

i do not want to open another thread... i have an imap gmail account... i set it to download email to a specific interval... how can i make it do this between some hours... i hate to hear it during the night with emails....

I don't know of any software that will allow you to turn off email notification on a set period of time.
Why not just set your phone to 'Plane' mode. That's what I do if I'm not on call and don't want to be disturbed by email..... Other than that just turn off the volume.

this is possible on symbian and on windes mobile with exchange....

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!

Sent from my Google Sexus S

would love to know if anyone has solutions to this now...

I did this a while ago on my Tab, but i can't remember 100% how i pulled it off, the following *should* work...
In Mail -> Add Account, put the email address and password, then go manual setup, select exchange, and add the details from here: (i know it's for iphone, just use the server settings etc)

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.

thanks for the idea i did think of that option however i get alot of mail from gmail as well as hotmail and did not want them all mixed up. i am not sure if i can create a folder for hotmail in my gmail account and just push all the mail into that folder. its something i have thought about just have not tried it cause my emails have my work in them and i cant afford to mess them up.
best regards

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

[Q] Sync email driving me nuts - pse help

When my 8010 note downloads email using the standard email app it syncs with every mail left on the email servers. Despite searching I cannot find a way to have it download only new mail since last connection.
Currently I have 5 email accounts and all sync up to two weeks worth of mail each time I connect
Is there any way to set this to new mail only? I need to leave the mail on the servers as I am away fairly often and might miss some if I clear it earlier than two weeks.
Also weird is that the trash empties OK but shows 23 on the folder!

What settings have you used pop or imap and what email service are you using
There is option in options which tell how back do you sync and also to certain extent there is a setting on your server tell what to sync

Thanks for reply.
I'm using POP for all accounts.
The only thing I have found is Email Sync mail On/Off.
Where are the Options you refer to?
I'm using JB UK version.

ok I cannot pin point the exact settings as I am using active sync but I used it earlier just go to the settings there is in the accounts the duration you want to sync also if you are using gmail please change settings in gmail also.
I really had loads of issues with syncing with pop account on stock email app and hence I configured activesync which works same like gmail app

Thanks, but I don't think there are any additional settings in normal mail, hopefully someone will correct me

Look on the mail sever side for options to download only new messages. It's really the mail server software that keeps track of what you've downloaded. I would look for settings options labeled pop mail settings or something along those lines.

Don't think that would work, because the server would stop other machines from downloading that were not up to date. AFAIK this is normally set on each email client.

Anbody find a solution for this?
Just can't believe there is no way to set the sync to download only once.
Are there any other mail apps that have intelligent sync settings?
Gettings mail that I downloaded two weeks ago repeated every day on the note 10.1 just sucks!

try Aqua Mail. i found some nice features in it.
free version gives you up to two accounts and enforces a signature.

OK, I have 5 accounts on my Note so free one is not usable
Secondly can you confirm that it solve the sync problem I am trying to fix?
