I have drafts sitting in Gmail that do not sync to the drafts folder on my HTC Trophy. Is this a limitation with Mango? Is there any way to find these drafts or is this not available yet? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Open up your Gmail inbox and in settings somewhere on phone you can tell it the folders to sync

Sorry drafts look like they don't have that option

Even when I sync the Drafts folder it says "No messages". Seems there is a fault on Gmail's side where they don't allow it for some reason.

I syncronise with my XDA to a PC - and synchronise files as well as Calendar with Outlook.
However, my XDA does a new trick.
I have calendar items on my PC. I add new items to my XDA and synchronise. When the synchronisation takes place, all the caledar items get deleted from the XDA and put themselves in the deleted items folder of Outlook. I then have to drag eacah calendar item separately from the deleted tray back to the calendar tary on my PC. This happened with my contacts last week. How can I stop this happening?
Thanks.

If you are using the microsoft ActiveSync software, this is because you have the rules under the "Option" choice under the "tools" menu sat to "Always replace items on device." Change the setting to "Leave Unresolved".
What this will do is not do anything when it encounteres a conflict. When you tell it to resolve the issue, it will ask you which you want to delete. The one on the device or the one in the computer.

Thanks for your reply.
I did have contacts on the XDA and also on the PC so how can it recognise that there is nothing on one?
It should have syncronised and not deleted from both.

From the sounds of it, you have the sitting to mirror what is on the PC to the XDA. IF this is the setting and nothing is in the PC, then whatever is on the XDA will get deleted.
Check the setting and see what it is sat to.

How do I change this setting - I am new to the XDA and am not sure.
Thanks.

I am using IMAP on my windows mobile outlook email to access email, but the folders for trash and sent are defined as deleted items and sent items, any ideas how I can remedy this, so they are set as trash and sent rather than anything else, so they sync properly?
Thanks
I got my captivate on last thursday for $349 commit free. Great! Anyway, I migrated from a WinMo Tilt 2 that was hacked to DeepShining custom ROM with the latest winmo build. I was using MyPhone service to sync all my contacts online. Now that I have switched to android (and i love it), I need a way to transfer all my contacts from winmo to google. since the phone contacts refuse to sync with outlook on my desktop, i transferred all of them directly to my captivate using BT exchange. now the problem is that the phone contacts wont sync with my gmail contacts. any ideas on how to do that?
I think the best way to get contacts on to an Android phone is to import them into your gmail contacts list, then tell the phone to sync with your gmail contacts.
I came from an iphone, so I had all my contacts in outlook. You can export all your contacts from outlook to a CSV file. Then go to gmail and import your contacts in to gmail using that same CSV file. Then go to your phone under settings there's a "accounts and sync" menu. You can tell it to sync with google there.
At least thats how I did it. It worked fine, it synced all my contacts within a few seconds.
Agreed. I came from a Blackberry and just synced all my contacts to my gmail account, did some cleanup (easier to do from my laptop), and then synced it to my new phone. Very easy and quick.
Has anyone with Google contacts tried to set up a group? I have a work team that I text sometimes and it would be easy to send a group message vs add them one by one. When I go under groups on the phone I can not add any contacts (probably since they are all Google contacts). I also created the group through my computer but it does not show as a group on my phone. I looked for sync settings but I didn't find anything. Any suggestions???

I think this is a weakness of the Captivate. I have tried several options and none work perfect.
I ended up using "gsyncit" to do the Outlook to Gmail Contacts/Calendar syncing. When the Gmail Contacts/Calendar entries sync to your phone however (this will happen automatically), they end up in a single Group ("[email protected]"). So, I use the Android app "Groupy" for contacts and it keeps things sorted on my Captivate. Workable solution but kind of cludgy.
Groupy doesnt work right either...
1) Its slow as all get out, so slow it takes 30 seconds to load on my scree, then it pops up a box to "force close" or "wait". After another 20 seconds it finally loads...and this is with the latest update build as of 7/27.
2) When it does finally load, it shows my gmail contact folders, however the "Family" folder has 0, yet I have quite a few in that folder on Gmail contacts.
Bottom line, groupy doesnt work right, but worst of all a basic function to have your android phone sync correctly with your gmail contacts should work out of the box. PERIOD. I dont understand how this problem isnt at the top of everyone's complaints along with GPS and MMS?
This is still a big issue for me! Samsung needs to fix this and gps now!

Hi I own an Omnia 7 and also own a iphone 4. I am loving my Omnia 7 but there is one thing really bugging me. I have email accounts sync and on my iphone 4 I notice on sync all sent items (sent outside of the phone) are downloaded.
I have sync'd my gmail account and inbox is fine, but when I go into the sent folder and sync nothing happens! Is this a wp7 bug or an issue with my phone? I assumed it would download all my sent emails from my account from the last two weeks but sent items inbox is empty.
Just signed up to xda but have read this forums for years but registered in the hope someone out there can help me!
many thanks in advance.
i can't speak for gmail, but with my hotmail account, after "show all folders" and viewing the sent items folder, then selecting sync this folder, i was able to get it to sync fine. all the way back to emails from may.
do you have a hotmail account you could check against? is it just gmail?
this is happening to my gmail as well. I am using an hd7.
most inboxes load but the "sent" and "outbox" folders do not sync.
One way I found around this was to sync the "all mail" folder. This will allow me to see both inbox and sent mail. however, it also shows mail in the trash
If anybody has any insight into this issue please advise. thanks

You do the same w/ gmail and it will sync the outbox folder.
Thanks for responses and glad to hear I am not the only one. Its doing it for hotmail and gmail. Just tried suggestion by @mrroey and no joy. Its a very strange issue. I assumed it would download all my sent emails from last two weeks but not working only showing sent emails that were sent from the device itself. Anyone else getting this?
I had this same problem with Windows Mobile. Gmail puts sent mail in the "sent mail" folder. The name of the folder in Outlook is "sent items". Since the names do not match the folders do not sync as you would expect. With WinMo I just added "sent mail" as a synced folder. "sent mail" does not appear in the folders list for WP7.
Workaround: Go to settings in the Gmail web client. Create a new filter in the filters tab. Enter your email address in the from box. Click next. Check "Apply the label". Choose "sent items" from the drop down list or create the label if it doesn't exist.
Optional: Check "Apply to the conversation below"
Click Finish
This works perfectly for me.
Google uses a whacked out version of ActiveSync. It's not the Official ActiveSync that Microsoft uses for Exchange/Windows Live, AFAIK.
So there are some issues with it that may pop up.
thanks! creating labels seemed to fix the problem. great workaround.

Works OK on my HD7 many thanks!
If you don't require push email then you can just set up gmail using IMAP. You should be able to sync any folders using that method.
My mailbox hotmail is empty on the phone. Even when I try to sync or modify parameters. I saw a post on a website with same problem today on a lumia 800. An idee to fix it please!

It seems people have the problem with calendar too. Not only emails

No answer from microsoft for now !!!!
Same here. Thought it was my fault changing to outlook, but it doesnt seems to be. If I create a new folder outside Inbox, and create a rule to redirect all new e-mails to this folder, I receive it normally. Including notifications in my phone. Same if I move e-mails to this folder.
