This is really going to get me in trouble at some point, I can just tell...
More than a few times in the past few weeks, I've sent a simple SMS message, only to get a call from the recipient saying something like "Dude, what the heck was all that about?" - because after my text in the message, it has inserted text from a WORK email in my outlook account! Usually these are deleted emails no less - and by deleted I mean not even in the deleted items folder.
I've got 3 email accounts set up on my phone. Two are pop accounts that get auto checked every two hours. The one that keeps getting it's emails attached to texts is the "Outlook Email" account, which is "governed" by a program called NotifyLink, which syncs my work emails to my phone across the GPRS network. It's the only way my work will allow mail sync to my phone. It seems to always be this account that the text messages "attach" from...
I've been aware of my cemail.vol file being filled with garbage for awhile now, evidenced by the fact that it's currently 1.26M, and anytime I delete emails (even a TON of them), it does not decrease in size. And yes, I'm also emptying the deleted items folder. But, I don't want to do the fresh cemail.vol trick, becasue I don't want to lose my emails and SMS, and because the one time I DID try it (thankfully having backed up cemail.vol beforehand), it erased my MMS account entirely. I only had Outlook Email and SMS.
So, and sorry for being so long, has anybody else experienced this, or does anybody have any ideas on what's happening and how to STOP it?
Sooner or later I just know it's going to attach a sensitive email in a text to exactly the wrong person...gulp...
Please help, all suggestions/observations/thoughts welcome!!
Thanks,
Sorry, should mention it's a tornado (t-mobile SDA) - duh...
Hey,
I'm with Tesco.net for my broadband at home and want to get my personal emails on my TP.
I can do that fine, either setting up POP3 on my TP or using Emoze for push email (which I'm using and love)
For some reason I can't send any. I know there's an update to fix this, but it doesn't work. I don't even get an error - the emails just sit in my outbox.
I can send emails from other accounts (Yahoo for example) but not this one. I've looked on the Tesco website and Googled why this isn't working, but found nothing.
Any ideas?
Thanks

check your outgoing mail settings on the phone with what they should be. it's possible that some type of mismatch (maybe port or security or pw error) is keeping your phone from connecting to the outgoing server.
also are you sure they're not sending? every now and then i send emails and tehy sit in my outbox and keep sending until i get a pissed off phone call from someone about repeatedly emailing them...
I'm having a very strange problem with sending text messages to certain people on my Hero. I noticed people not getting my messages and just thought that maybe they weren't being sent at all.. Until I decided to look at the "details" of some of my sent messages. Instead of the name or number that I entered, it keeps sending certain text messages to this address "[email protected]". Now, I receive alerts from Bank of America from this address occasionally, but it is not in my address book at all, and even when I delete messages that I receive from them I still have this problem.
Then of course, since that is not a valid phone number or e-mail address, I get a delivery failure messages every time I send a text to that address. Anyone have any ideas why it keeps sending messages like this?? I have hard reset, and switched Heros a couple of times, and it still does this. I've tried using Handcent, still no luck. With Handcent, after I send certain people a text message, the title of the conversation is even the Bank of America address, and not the person's name!
Any help would be appreciated, this is driving me crazy!

oh yuck... wipe your phone dude... then update your PRL under settings (it's in there somewhere) and don't install any online banking apps untill that is fixed... that definately sounds like a bug
You may want to check this thread to see if this is what's happening. I think I'm getting something similar on my Droid Eris after receiving a text from an email client.

Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that there is a fix beyond hard resetting phone
And even more unfortunately, it looks like this issue goes back over a year with no resolution!!! Hope this isn't what I have to look forward to with an 'open source' operating system...
this is happening to me as well. I don't have any banking apps installed but I do get an SMS from my bank telling me when my paycheck has been deposited. ALot of my messages come in to this thread and there have been times that I thought I was responding to a person who had just messaged me who did not get my text. If I were to start from 'people' and find a contact and send a message from there, it will work.
btw, this is from handcent.
Thanks for the link, I had searched everywhere, I thought, without any luck. Just from reading the first post, that is exactly what happens to me. I'm gonna go finish all of the posts about it, thanks again!
Well, as you'll find out from the thread, the only real way to get your text messaging working properly again is to hard reset the phone. Bummer, I know.
You may try what I did, though, and use an app called MyBackup Pro (free 30-day trial) to backup some of your important items before you do the reset.
I backed up my settings/home/bookmarks and then separately my contacts. I didn't back up my apps, but chose to redownload them from the Market since they are listed in My Downloads. Then as soon as I reset my phone, I first re-installed as many of my apps as possible (including MyBackup of course), and THEN restored my settings and contacts.
I still had to reset the settings on some programs, but it definitely saved a bit of time.
And this may be random, but I experienced an issue after resetting where my phone would not dial out to anyone. Turns out, Verizon had to reset something on their end that got screwed up. You have to get to level 2 tech support to fix this.
Hope this helps...
I am having the same issues. Will try a hard reset and see if that helps. I have also disabled any texting services from B of A or Fbook or Twitter. Hopefully that will fix it. Thanks for the thread.
i have 7 long emails stuck in my outbox right.... have this problem a lot of time... i go to my outbox, click on each email and click send again.... most of the time, the recipients receive the emails twice or more... i know a lot of people say clear data in gmail app.. but it's 7 long emails... not going to erase and retype that sh1t.
my question is there an alternate email app that sends email instantly(like you are using a browser) instead of waiting stupidly sycing? as google just seems not giving a damn about the gmail outbox stuck emails problem...
I've had my HOX since release day and added my two email accounts right away. I use the Gmail app for my personal gmail and the included Email app for my work Exchange account.
After about a week I was not able to reply or forward work emails using the built in Email app. I can receive and send (new) emails but if I try to reply or forward an email I get a Notification saying "The email was not able to be sent."
I've removed and re-added my work account multiple times. I can reply for a day or two then I get the "can't send" issue again. I've verified that I am using the correct settings when I setup the account.
This is the only negative I have with the HOX but I would love to figure out what is wrong. Thanks.
i ran into this issue today as well, but only on 1 of my 4 push accounts. funny thing is that, although my phone said the email wasn't sent, the recipient received it 10 times, which equates to the number of times i hit resend. problem went away on it's on...
I wish I could say the same thing. I've tried replying to coworkers and even tested with my own gmail account. New emails are the only ones that are actually sent for me. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
