Sync all POP3 e-mails in Android 3.2 (Motorola Xoom)? - General Questions and Answers

I have added the account to the default e-mail client (POP3, it is a custom domain, not a provided such as Hotmail or Gmail) but there appears to be no option to sync all e-mails to the device.
Within the e-mail Account Settings, I get:
General settings
Account name
Your name
Signature
Inbox check frequency
Default account
Notification settings
Email notifications
Select ringtone
Server settings
Incoming settings
Username
Password
POP3 server
Security type
Port
Delete email from server
Outgoing settings
STMP server
Security type
Port
Require sign-in
Username
Password
Remove account
Remove account
Any ideas?

I don't know the specifics of your server, but generally the POP3 protocol only transfers NEW messages, it doesn't sync the whole mailbox. For that, you may want to use a IMAP server.

Hosted Gmail account setup Help

I am trying to set up my college student email account, which is hosted by google Gmail, on my dash running WM6.
The email address is "myname"@students.kennesw.edu
I tried the same pop settings as my gmail account, incoming server pop.gmail.com : outgoing server smtp.gmail.com. I also tried the server settings as pop.students.kennesaw.edu and smtp.students.kennesaw.edu.
When i try to connect to the email account from the phone i get an error to check the account name and the password. They are both correct but it will not connect. It gives me an error that it can not connect.
Any help with how to set it up is appreciated. I have my personal Gmail set up on the same phone and it works fine and i have my school address forwarding to that email but i can not reply from that address.
Thanks
I'm not sure about this but it might be students.kennesaw.edu for both POP and SMTP
have u tried using ur email addy as username, and smtp should be that or your mobile carrier

Google's response
Hello,
Thank you for your report.
Configuring POP access for your Google Apps email account is very similar
to configuring it in Gmail. However, any time you're asked for your
username during the configuration process, you'll need to enter your full
email address, including your domain ([email protected]_domain.com). All other
settings are the same.
However, please note that we haven't been able to test POP access with
your mail client yet, but we're working to make our service compatible
with as many mail clients as possible. We look forward to announcing
additional compatibilities in the future.
Sincerely,
The Google Team
yup, me too
I'm having the same problem, also with students.kennesaw.edu. Love to see more info

Windows Mobile Messaging and GMail POP

Credits: http://kiribao.blogspot.com/2007/11/windows-mobile-messaging-and-gmail-pop.html
Google's POP/SMTP access allows you to "workaround" most ISP's policy of sending out email via default SMTP port. Here are set of steps to configure proper gmail POP access from multiple devices with on Windows Mobile 6 Messaging.
Start > Messaging.
Click New E-Mail Account. If you already have one configured then select your existing gmail account and then click Tools > Options followed by another click on gmail account in the list of current accounts you have defined.
Enter your email address (eg: [email protected]). You may need to create the address as @tempgail.com so that you can deselect the automatic email discovery.
Enter your name.
Enter gmail.com in the Account Display Name.
For Incoming Mail Server type pop.gmail.com:995 (notice the :995 - that's the POP port number you need to specify as per gmail's official setup configuration).
For Account Type choose POP3.
For User Name type recent:[email protected].
Type in your password (check Save password), click Next.
For Outgoing SMTP Mail Server type smtp.gmail.com:587 (again, notice the port number 587 added after colon) and check both checkboxes below the smtp server name for requiring authentication and to use same username for sending and receiving email.
Click Advanced Server Settings and select both checkboxes for Require SSL for Incoming E-mail as well as for Require SSL for Outgoing e-mail.
Choose The Internet for the Network Connection dropdown on the same screen and click Done to continue with setup.
Click Next.
Choose some frequency for automatic send and receive of emails (eg. Every 10 minutes) and select All Messages for Download Messages dropdown
Click Advanced Settings and under When Deleting Messages dropdown, select Keep Them On The Server.
Click Done and click Next to go to final step.
Choose message format as HTML and message download limit of 2KB (or higher).
Click Finish.
With the above setup my HTC TouchPRO and Gmail work like a breeze.
Important trick is the use of "recent:" in your account name - this apparently relies on gmail's "recent mode" which allows multiple clients to access messages via POP without getting into that trouble with one client getting the messages and the others don't. Apart from that, make sure you use the port number for POP and SMTP server as outlined above.
Enjoy,
thankss...

hotmail accounts??

is it possible to configure two different hotmail/windows live email accounts??? i can only set one account bcuz only one may sync with my messenger. i dont need for my other email account to be used with my messenger. i just want to be able to send/receive with my other email account.
Easy...
for the second account, enter in email address like
[email protected] (not hotmail.com)
This will prompt you to enter pop3 and smtp servers. For hotmail, use the following
pop3.live.com
smtp.live.com
username: [email protected]
voila...

[Q] How to keep email offline

Hi all
I have problem with my email, when i down email from my company server in device but don't keep it after delete mail on mail server.
thanks
Most likely you're using an Exchange server and the IMAP4 Protocol. IMAP has synchronized email inboxes, so deleting an email on the server should delete the email from all synched inboxes (your phone).
Maybe try setting up a POP3/STMP account, I guess that could work if you want your email inboxes to be not syncrhronized.
