Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone can help.. I have a HTC Touch Pro and have email setup to come straight through to my phone... i can send and recieve emails fine but once i've recieved them and they're in my inbox... after a while they automatically delete themselves..
Does anyone know if there is a setting somewhere which allows you to have the option of keeping the mail in the inbox until you delete it yourself?
Thanks for the help!
Does it actually delete from your email account or just not show up on the phone? I think it only looks at recent emails, that's why they disappear.
Nah it doesn't delete them from my email account it just doesnt show up on the phone.. but sometimes when im out and busy and get an email i leave it to reply for a while but it has gone from the phone...

I'd help if I still had mine... Sorry.
Mine works fine with POP3 configuration. Do you use IMAP?
How many days did you select in the email settings? You can select 3, 7, and unlimited I believe...
The TP will only show the messages based on the above selection...
I'm actually using POP3 aswel..
and joeltje, in "Download Messages" I have "All Messages" selected.
The emails i send stay in the 'sent' folder until i delete them.. i would just like the recieved messages to stay in the inbox until i delete them..
Anyone?...
How big is the total amount of messages? Maybe your memory ran out?
I know I can't get my whole inbox on this phone, it simply won't fit
do you only use your phone to get your emails?
if you use another program such as outlook or outlook express, then the emails will be removed from your server and placed in your local inbox on your PC (if you have this setting enabled). Then when your phone syncs with the server, since the emails have been removed, they are removed from your phone.
Re above: Certainly that was what was happening to me. I download emails separately into the phone whilst out and about but had the 'remove from server' option enabled in outlook. Therefore as soon as I opened outlook on the pc they all vanished from the phone - look in account settings and disable this option. You then keep both local copies. This option also exists in the Touch Pro email account settings, if enabled then any emails deleted from your phone will not appear in outlook later!

Hello jayt,
Did you solve your problem?
It happens the same with me...
I need some help too.
Thx
Are you guys using gmail by any chance? If so, you need to make sure that pop3 is enabled for all messages, otherwise they will be erased off your device if they've been read.

Mine dont....and Im set up as imap
I'd like to know a solution to this too. My Pro seems to retrieve the latest messages and delete older ones from my inbox.
Is there any setting misconfig here. I set mine to 7 days.
Now I have seen the setting but now that I read this thread I cand find it. It has to do with Active sync.
There is option to clean mail box on active sync or WDM I f I find it I will update it.
If anyone is having this problem with gmail, type in "recent:" before your gmail username in the settings and it will go away. The only side effect is that your sent messages go to your inbox too. Not the perfect solution, but better than not seeing any messages at all.
what is the email account? sounds like you're using pop.

No sorry i did not solve the problem..im playing around with it to see if its something in the settings but no having any luck as yet...
Its hard for me to find a solution because sometimes it works fine sometimes it doesnt..
1) It constantly tells me I have new emails when in fact I don't. It can be an email I received an hour ago. I'll still get 2 more notices that it is a new email even if I have read it or deleted it. I have notifications turned off for Gmail, but I am also using the regular email client to access Gmail. No matter the notification I get I think I am seeing the email via the regular phone email client.
2) Gchat, how do I bring this up? if someone Gchat's me I get a notification. but i can't seem to find a way to start a gChat conversation with someone on my phone.
Gchat is under Gtalk and that where you would go to reply to them. My Gmail has yet to give me any problems so I can't help you with that. Maybe you should try deleting your account and adding it again.
The problem isn't Gmail, it's the default client. Any time it downloads a message from the server, you get a new mail notification whether it has been read or not. This means that every time you delete a message the message it loads to replace the deleted message will trigger a new message notification. This would happen for any e-mail account.
That behavior caused me to just avoid using the default mail app altogether. I just use the pre-installed Gmail app instead.
Yeah I have the same issue with the defaul Email app. When I delete a new message 30 minutes later when the refresh is run it loads up an old email message I have responded to or dealt with 100x stating its new and alerts me of it.

Well from reading the message it looks like he is using the Gmail app but it is giving him problems. I do not use the email app that comes with the captivate because I can not use my yahoo account on it. I do not know. We should wait for the OP to reply and see if he is using the Gmail app or the Email app.

No, i wasn't very clear i guess. I'm using the standard email client to access gmail.
The email program that came with the Captivate give me tons of problems, one is the problem with showing new email but there is none.
I've been using the gmail email app for gmail. For non gmail accounts I use MailDroid.
All right so heres the deal:
With my Fascinate and Droid 1, I was able to sync up the contacts I WANTED to (manually) with Facebook, and the rest wouldn't show up in my address book. Well, HTC Sense has the account you link up, and it matched people automatically, cool, I'm fine with that. However, it dumped EVERYONE that was on my fb into my address book, not cool. So I went in, hid the fb people, no biggie, thought it was done with.
Not so. When I go to compose a text or email, it still shows me EVERYONE on fb who has a # on there, which I DON'T want. Is there any way to manually link the people I DO want, but not have it link EVERYONE ???? I've unchecked link people from the account settings, but as soon as I link one person manually, it dumps all the #'s on there. Its rather frustrating....any help or ideas would be appreciated, thanks.
when you first install fb it asks you if you wants contact sync for all contacts our only ones on your phone.. mightve picked the wrong one.

That's for Facebook app syncing, which is different.
I'm talking about Facebook for Sense syncing.
But that option does the same thing to my contact list, dumps my #s in there

Try going into people/view/ and un-check facebook for sense.
Did that. Removes them from People view, but composing a new text displays all my fb contacts who have their numbers on there. It's really annoying.....

What all has the green swirliest under accounts & sync?

go into people-menu-view and pick the contacts you want to view or just manually sync the people you want by clicking the contact and picking them on facebook. thats what i did.
I'm feel he has it set to sync with ALL contacts, not sync with existing contacts.
@leoingle: ????
@albotz: I just tried deleting the HTC fb account. I readded it. It automagically started syncing ALL the contacts to the phone book. If you uncheck the sync contacts button, it just goes and resyncs them anyway.
If they aren't in your address book, try composing a message, and then you will see ALL your contacts, yours + the people with a phone number listed on fb, from the available contacts you can choose to send a text to.
@g00s3y: I'm not an idiot, I assure you its set to sync with existing, but after I try to manually sync a contact, it just syncs EVERYONE. I go back to check the app, and its mysteriously changed itself to "sync all contacts"
Don't use Facebook for HTC then, use the Facebook app, which is available off market. The apps do virtually the same thing
Hi, Just got my charge today and synced up my contacts from my gmail (primary contacts list), facebook and twitter. But my contacts seem to be a mess. Many of them were automagically linked together but many others just show repeats of each other and when I link them manually, it seems as if I am loosing some information. Also, many of my google contacts show up multiple times with repeated info, when I link them it just ends up doubling up on everything. Moving from an old HTC windows mobile phone, I am stuck with these ridiculous notes in contacts that HTC used for its sync.
An example, My friend Becky has two contact entries, both from google (despite only one entry in my google contacts). One contains most of the info and the other just an email address, when I join them I loose the number and name and just end up with her email address as the contact. What gives? My question:
Is there a decent contact manager recommended that will join contacts as one contact (not multiple) and remove redundant information?
Is there any logic to joining contacts that will prevent me from loosing information like that or am I doing something wrong?
How do I add my google contacts "into my phone" so that I can use it to create groups and the such? I believe I can just export a contacts file and import it but I am afraid I would run into the same problem of multiple contacts with the same information in them.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
ok heres what i would do, remove all the accounts with contacts from the phone and then reboot. now add your google account back and check it. if every thing is good. move on with Facebook and such.. i dont let Facebook sync with my phone after what happened to me. anyways check it again.
this fixed my problem with google and hotmail, and other accounts. hopefully it will work for you.
Or you can open up contacts, hit menu and set the privcey filters..like don't show Facebook contacts etc
I dont think so
If you download the Facebook app from the market it gives you different options to sync. I sync only with exsiting contacts that are in my phonebook. That way I don't have a million people in my contacts list.
I followed your advice and got it the way I like. I had to sync twitter and facebook through the phone and manually combine contacts. At least now when I user the message app, I don't have four or five of the same people. Out was word when I first noticed the facebook and twitter apps both have an additional sync option. This is my first android smartphone too. Thanks for the advice.

I use the stock email app provided by T-Mobile/Samsung. I find that it re-downloads email that I have deleted from the two email accounts that I use (Comcast & GMail) Is there a setting that I have missed so that when an email is read and or deleted, the app will not download it again?
You can try to change number of loaded emails from "25" to "all". Because when you delete an email, it will download new one as unread.. And you can change deleting option in incoming settings as deleting from server too. Sorry my english is really bad but i hope i helped you.
