Hello everybody!
I think this may be something with windows and not just with my phone (because I have had the same problem on my other windows phones as well)
But I keep getting repeated email notifications of new email, when I havnt gotten any new mail.
Now It is just my regular POP3 email through comcast, that it is checking.
So any ideas on how to resolve the issue? because it can be quite a nuisance through out the day.
Thanks for your help!
-El
p.s. let me know if I need to supply more information about my settings.
If you mark your new POP3 as read it should not notify you about it the next time it does a Send/Receive.
I needs to be marked as read or it will still think that you have a unread message.
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.

Had already suggested that, but the OP seems to have different concerns.
Okay, but how do I enable such a password?
AND I also wonder this:

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
Ok, so this is a weird, silly problem I hope someone can help me with. Kind of embarrassing I even have to ask honestly. Anyway, I sent an email to my work email address the other day, and somehow, that address is now stored in my phone. Now anytime I start to type an email address that starts with the first few letters, it pops up as an auto complete address. Also, if I open the contacts, then tap the first entry (the "my profile" entry), there is an email address listed for my work address there. I can edit the contact to try and remove it, yet that particular email address is not listed for me to remove. I have a total of 3 POP email addresses my phone checks, those appear, and I can remove those if I want, however, the work email address is nowhere to be found on the edit page for me to remove. I have also checked Google in case it is syncing it from somewhere it somehow got put there, but again, I haven't seen where I would need to edit it from. I have also tried deleting all the email addresses, but my work email address stays there.
If this makes any sense, and anyone has any ideas on how to get rid of this email address (where I need to go to delete it, I can't find it anywhere else in my phone), I would appreciate it.

Try clearing data and cache of email app.
I have tried that with no change. Also cleared the cache and dalvik cache with no change.
when using the phone number dit will not let me reset the password under "forgot my Password".
Under the email sign in it will not take the verification code. Difficult enough when it is case sensitive and it uses that funny print but I didn't get it wron 50 times.
I am ready to throw this time away.
Hi,
You haven't provided enough details to point you towards help. Like device make and model number. Or what you are trying to log in to? If it is Gmail, or another online mail service.... You need to contact them. No one here can help with that.
Thanks!
Good afternoon everyone,
This is probably going to be a dumb question but here goes.
I am always sending text messages to my personal email address from my phone as either an SMS or sometimes as an MMS message as reminders for all sorts of things.
For instance, If I find an article of any kind that I want to read later I will copy the web address and send a text to my email address from the "Messages app" on my phone.
I have been doing this for years and have never ever had any issues up until about two weeks ago. Now sporadically and even sometimes all the time I will send a text to my email and immediately I get a separate text back saying the following
"(Undelivered Mail Returned To Sender) This is the mail system at host bbtpnj33wzwvetm-c-nk-x-00-vmg-00.localdomain.
I"
I can not for the life of me figure out what I keep getting these types of responses.
Has anyone ever encountered something like this and/or have any clue what the problem might be and how to fix it?
Currently, I am having this issue using my Note20 Ultra if that means anything.
Thank you so much in advance for any help!
