Hi All.
So I just got a windows phone 7 and i setup my email account on it, but I noticed it wasnt syncing my folders like my old 6.5 phone did.
I had a look online and found instructions saying to go to the folder settings and check the folders for syncinc but It wasnt listing the folders I had setup on my email.
Im using a web based email and my main inbox emails are getting downloaded, its just when I get to the auto sorted folder emails, they dont seem to exist on my phone.
Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance
Try to use IMAP instead of POP3...
I have the GT-2010 (wifi only) so sometimes I want to create emails, read them, and delete when I happen to be offline. Account I have issue with is a non-gmail account.
I've noticed that the stock email app which does look great actually doesn't seem to work for me in offline mode. I'm using IMAP, and it downloads all emails fine and I can read, delete etc offline, but then when I connect up again all the reads / deletes / moves haven't been registered.
I checked the settings and there doesn't seem to be anything obvious. I've also tried K-9 which doesn't look as good on tablet, but does seem to sync back ok when re-connecting.
Anyone else found this issue with stock app?
Hi... I've been using the stock Android email client to access my email on a standard IMAP email server and I've never been able to get the emails sent from my phone to sync with the server. I've even tried copying them to another folder which does sync', but they stay local and do not appear in that folder on the email server.
I've just bought myself a Galaxy SIII and having tested the stock Android client on that, I am relieved to report that emails sent from the phone DO appear in the server Sent Items folder.
The problem is how I save the many hundreds of emails I have stuck in the local Sent Items folder on my Sensation? For legal reasons, it is critical I retain them somehow. Even just exporting them to the MicroSD would be better than nothing. Can anyone help please? Thanks in anticipation...
Hi all,
Been an Android/Note 10.1 user only for a week now. I am trying to get my note configured to get work emails from exchange server. I got it working by doing manual active sync configuration etc. Problem is my mail folders are showing incorrect number of read/unread mails. Say if I have 15 unread mails in a folder, it shows the same number even after opening 5-6 in that folder. I appears to be showing the total number of mails in that particular folder instead of showing the number of unread mails. Is there a way to fix it? I have "push" enabled for each of my sub folders. I looked through all the options, I could be missing something. can someone guide me how to get it working. I am an iOS user where I can configure all my mails in one tool and it works perfectly fine. I would like to set up my mail same way in Android if possible. If there is any app that could accomplish this, please let me know.
TIA
So I setup my s8+ and setup my Gmail on the native email client. I selected as items arrive because I like having up to date email. When I go to delete a message on the S8+ it deletes, but shows a "deleted" sign and next to it "undo". I have since changed the setting to not ask to confirm, it still does it though. Now when I delete an email on the phone, it comes right back after a few seconds, I tested this with my Gmail opened on the website and it doesn't show deleted, however if I simply read them on the phone or mark them as read, it does correlate with Gmail and marks them as read. Testing the reverse, if I delete a message on Gmail, it does delete it automatically on the phone. What could be the problem? I've tried changing the web settings to auto expunge set to "off" and when a message is marked as deleted from the last IMAP folder move to the trash (used to be archive)
Maybe a bit more condensed. Basically the stock email app (s8+) has deleted emails keep popping back up. I have gmail on there with the "auto, as items arrive" setting. Marking as read does sync however., any ideas? Thank you!
My Gmail app has been doing this for a long time while using a secondary e-mail account within Gmail (My hotmail account).
I've never had a problem deleting Gmail e-mails though.
Just to clarify, this is for your GMAIL account correct?
Yeah, I am using the native Samsung Email client on the Galaxy s8+. When setting up my @gmail.com account., everything comes in quickly, marking as read works fine, the issue is when I delete an email, it comes back as soon as I refresh.
I have the same problem. And I think the reason is that your mail provider has the IMAP roth path folder named "INBOX"
But the samsung mail app has it as "Inbox"
This is why it works with Gmail and not other providers.
It can handle the incoming to place in correct folder. But when you delete it sends a request to the IMAP server to delete mail xxx placed in folder Inbox (Not INBOX)
And because there are no folder called Inbox on the IMAP server, nothing is removed.
Older samsungs/Android had both the option to "erase on server" and set "IMAP Root path folder" but the latest version don't
I have several accounts setup in the gmail app. Only one does this, my exchange email account for work. And it's not new and it's not related to the phone. This has been happening for years on multiple android versions and multiple devices when using the gmail client.
With third-party customers everything is in order and even with native problems did not notice.
"Unfortunately the stock android email app has the IMAP root folder names hard-coded in the app. They cannot be changed by user. The app expects the folders to be named
at the IMAP server exactly like this
Inbox
Outbox
Drafts
Sent
Junk
If IMAP-server uses different names the synchronization will not work properly"
So as I mentioned before. If Imap folder is named Inbox and not INBOX there might be problem. And it cant be fixed in other way than changing to a mail app that allows for manually setting the IMAP root folder name to INBOX
Me, too.

On my S8 phone I have 3 accounts (Gmail and TELUS) plus my Exchange account for work - and that's the only one that has this problem (Junk Folders messages reappear). Thank you for your post. Don't HAVE to have my work account on my phone so will remove it and hope that resolves this pesky issue.
