[Q] need help for gmail app - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, All
My XOOM is MZ601 with Andriod 3.1. I have used it for several days and everything looks well but email issue.
I have a gmail account and have almost 5000 email during 3 years. I setup my gmail account with XOOM gmail app and setup the duration as 999 days, sync all in lab. But I only can get 5 or 6 weeks email, and when new email comes, the oldest will be missed. When I scroll down to load more conversation, but nothing happened. I don't know how to setup the account and let me get all the email in my gmail account.
BTW, I found a strange thing, I can use search to find old email.

I do believe it's the limiation of the app due to the fact that you have way too much email subjects loaded into memory. That's why you have the search function and setting up labels and what not. It does the same thing with my Thuderbolt so yeah.

Thanks.
It's no good for the user. I can use iphone to see all the email, I can use palmpre to see all the mail but I can't use XOOM do the same thing. The Xoom is more better for biz.
Anybody know how to break the limited for the mail? Thanks.

[Q] standard email (NOT gemail) client issues

Whenever I put in the correct info it just says retrieving email indefinitely.
Anyone else used the app with or without problems?
Have you enabled pop/imap from a desktop pc in gmail itself?

Nope, but I'd really like to use the seperate apps since I have a gmail for my personal use and I have my business email which I use for my freelance work, and I'd rather keep them strictly seperate.
I misread you before, sorry. You still need to set up any other email accounts you are using to enable pop or imap access, so if its not enabled already you will get the type of error you describe, or it will just time out.
Well, it works fine on my phone with the same settings. It's set up for POP3.
I actually like the asus email- i used to be a K9 fanboy until i tried the Asus stock yesterday- have 4 diff emails going to it with no probs. The email widget got stuck on 8 unread emails for a while so i just deleted it and than brought it back and it works great.
Still use k9 on my phone and Archos 101.
I had to set each acct to pop or imap like SD said above for the asus to work correctly...

how would I set the account to POP3? also why does POP3 work for my phone running gingerbread with default mail client and exact same settings?
Anyone else have issues with the widget for the default mail app not updating with the number of unread mail? Other than that it seems pretty good to me.

That should be fixed by running the first firmware update.
Have to say, the stock email app almost good enough to tempt me away from K9.
Is there any way to get the app to download more emails though? I have about 300 emails in my IMAP account. Everytime you tap on "Load more messages", it downloads 25 messages. Have sat there downloading 25 at at time until all 300 are displayed. However, when I quit the app, then reload it later in the day, it automatically syncs and removes all my downloaded emails, until there are only 25 left in the Inbox again.
Bit annoying...
Alternatively, is there an app that combines the features of K9, with the split pane appearance of the stock app?

Yup. From the maker of K9 - Kaiten Mail. A little rough around the edges, but exactly what I was looking for (same as you).

[Q] Email Client?

The installed email client (not gmail) looks decent but fails to support TLS as well as map folders such as Trash -> Deleted Items. I read the forums and noticed that Google neglected mapping issue since 2009!
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1811
I tried K-9 Mail for my IMAP email and found it to be quite decent but have a few issues:
1) Is there a widget that can display unread e-mail just like the default one? or last 3 e-mails display?
2) Can I replace the icon?
3) Is there a roadmap to include like a two-pane display like the default email client? Or another email client that is Honeycomb optimized?
4) Is there a way to disable the default e-mail client service since I will be longer be using it? Do I have to care about such services running in the background?
Thanks in advance!

Try Kaiten mail from the Market. It's based on K9, and made by the same person. Has the split pane thing. Little less polished than the stock offering, but the feature set more than makes up for it.
As for disabling stock, I guess just delete the accounts - shouldn't take up any resources that way. Or, go the whole way, and root your Transformer, then you can delete the Email.apk
+1 on Kaiten Mail. 4 updates in the past week - the developer is on top of it, and responds to emails. It's much more polished than it was 2 weeks ago.
Didn't know about Kaiten! Thanks! Hopefully it has the folder mapping. I guess I can find out by trying it for 15 minutes.
Do you know if there is a widget that would work with it?
+1 on Kaiten.
I don't think there is a widget for it. I wish there was...
There is no widget, and I've asked the dev about this - he has got some higher priority additions to make, and will hopefully have a widget done over the summer.
Well, despite rebooting working for me as mentioned above.. it appears as though a problem has crept in with the Asus email app.. basically if I have the transformer's WiFi sleep policy set to "WiFi off when screen off" then the Exchange push email config I have with my gmail stops working.. a reboot fixes it, but I know that this was working before...
The only thing I can think of trying is deleting my email setup and re-applying it - which I've done now.. will see if that cures anything but not holding my breath..
Anyone else using Exchange sync (to gmail) with the Asus email app.. and the same WiFi sleep settings?
I'm trying out Kaiten mail as well. Had some definite enhancements over K9 though some little glitches. For a dollar over the weekend in the Market it's worth playing with. Think i still prefer gmail app bc I got used to the convenience of the conversation style grouping which I find very handy for reviewing strings of messages. Hope to see Kaiten mail evolve as I'm sure it will.

[Q] yahoo mail issue

I have checked everywhere i can and have found nothing else on this issue.
My wife has a shift and the only email account she has on it is yahoo. When she opens up some of her emails, she can start reading them and then about 10 - 15 seconds later the email disappears. She hits the back button and the email is still there, but when she clicks on it and pulls it up it is blank. I have deleted the account and re-installed it, I have changed the incoming and outgoing servers, and have done hard reboots with no fixes. Any suggestions?
I personally have an evo 4g with no problems.
Thanks
If your rooted, you can try deleting the account. After that boot into Recovery, Wipe Dalvik, wipe Cache, and then Reboot. When it's done rebooting and has settled down. Add the account back on. See if that resolves the issue.
Her phone is not rooted so i can't do that with hers. Thanks for the suggestion.
Could try a hard reset, as a last resort. Not sure if it will help.
My mothers phone is doing the same thing right now, and her phone is rooted.
I did notice a small fix for my mother phone and that was this. I was not able to find a fix for gmail on the mail app.
The stock settings for yahoo email shows as
htc.imap.mail.yahoo.com
ssl 993
htc.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
ssl 465
I changed it too: so all i did was cut out the "htc."
imap.mail.yahoo.com
ssl 993
smtp.mail.yahoo.com
ssl 465
me too.
Both my girlfriend and I have this same problem. We both only have one account in the stock mail app and it's Yahoo. I was hoping that rooting and moving to a different ROM would help fix this, but nope.
This happened to me unrooted as well. I am currently running x99's rooted OTA GB release so I'm wondering if it is something within the stock e-mail app. I've tried others before and prefer the integration and features of the stock app. So, if anyone comes up with something let us know.
Word of advice: STOP USING YAHOO MAIL AND SWITCH TO GMAIL.
I'm not saying this to be a troll, ****, or jerk. Yahoo mail is majorly flawed. I highly suggest to get off hotmail, windows live mail, yahoo mail, aol mail and aim.com mail ASAP.
"I'm not saying this to be a troll, ****, or jerk"
Then you won't mind educating me on how Yahoo Mail is majorly flawed. I've been using it since 1997 and have had very little to no complaints about it. Unfortunately I just realized I didn't wipe as well as I could have before flashing x99's ROM so I'm hoping a redo of that will fix my issue. Still doesn't make sense for the non-rooted stock people though.

1) Bad spam filtering - real email gets blocked while spam gets through.
2) Bad email server verification see 1
3) Bad interface
4) Lots of fake accounts, bad account security
5) Yahoo will be bankrupt soon if not bought by another company
6) You're using a Google phone, to use yahoo mail, when you could be using the native Gmail client and not have these issues in the first place, have all your contacts, calendar, and email synced and backed up in the google cloud.
So again what's the point of even bothering?
I recommend signing up for a google account and moving everything over. It's really not that hard or painful. Just connect with Outlook via POP3/IMAP, export to PST, connect to GMAIL, import PST from Yahoo, update all your online accounts until email stops coming in to your yahoo account.

End of email turns into chinese?

I'm having a rather odd problem, whenever my friend and I are replying back and forth over email,
the bottom of the email keeps turning into a complete gibberish slab of what seems to be Chinese/Japanese.
The last reply shows fine, but the ones before it are garbled.
I'm running ICS on an asus transformer prime, not rooted and using stock email app.
I have one hotmail account (used to correspond with my friend) and one gmail account on it.
Id gladly supply more info if requested.
Anyone have any clue as to what on earth is going on?
- Sven
Are you using the "stock email app" which means the "Email" app (as opposed to the Gmail app)?
Yessum, the standard email app, not the gmail one.
Ive done some tests to try and replicate the problem, to no avail.
Ive emailed myself from one account to another and replied back and forth about 10 times,
but I can not get it to "chinesify" the older replies lower down the email.
So im not sure exactly where this weird corrupted crud is coming from.
My friend describes it as "there are a buncha blocks at the bottom",
I assume its the same Chinese im seeing except he is missing the font for it.
If theres another good email app (with widget/alerting!) that would solve this,
id gladly give it a spin since in my opinion the standard one isn't all that amazing.
People mention K-9 but that seems to be very phone oriented, not at all for tablets.

Anyone has a problem using built-in mail app?

Hi guys.
I am using built-in mail app but have a serious problem.
It's kinda a bit complicated.
I set up my company's mail account
But my company's mail account has only 200MB of capacity.
When it is almost full mail app stops working.(Not completely fulled, almost fulled)
When the mail box is completely fulled, one single new mail will automatically delete the oldest mail in the server.
Therefore, there is no problem actually.
But the problem is right here.
When the mail box is almost fulled it stops working.
There is no new mail anymore.
Then I manually delete old mails in the company's server using laptop.
But even when the capacity became less than 50% built-in mail app still isn't working.
Which means, once 'almost fulled' issue happens, the mail app doesn't work anymore.
Company's mail server is still receiving new mails but the mail app isn't.
I delete the account and set up from the beginning again, then it works well................
I guess it would be very difficult to find someone who has the similar problem like mines.
Because no company gives you only 200MB mail account in 21st century......... damned it.
But I really want to solve this stupid problem.
I can't delete the account and set it up from the beginning every month!
If someone has any problem with the mail app and has found out the solution,
please share.
Thank you so much!
