K9 Email help needed - General Questions and Answers

Is there already a good thread somewhere to seek out some help in configuring K9 Email or should I just post here?
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk

Currently configured for POP mail not IMAP (Comcast/Xfinity).
Have it set to sync so that when email is downloaded to my PC and no longer on Comcast's servers that K9 will auto delete/remove those messages from my Inbox.
I just want to know the following:
1) like on my old blackberry can I flag a message as Saved so that unless I manually delete it is saved? If so, how? If not, then can I create a saved or archive folder and manually move them there? If so, how? If not what do you suggest as an alternative?
2) If I accidentally delete a message it immediately moves to trash (and I think immediately sends a delete command to Comcast's servers). How can I undelete a message or manually move it from trash back to inbox?
3) How can I manually create folders and move messages between folders?
4) Please explain the whole folder level thing, i.e. Level 1, Level 2, etc.
THANKS!

any way to keep messages on server when deleting them by phone using gmail IMAP?

when i delete messages inside pocket outlook they also get erased on the server (in the web application), this is quite annoying because i get a lot of emails and dont want them all on my phone so i delete some of them, but then i might need them again because they contain order reference numbers or sth. similar. any possibility to keep them on the server?

moved it to an unsynchronised folder, then delete. not tried but should work in theory
Moved to Q&A section.
Please post in the right section next time.

Deleting emails..

Hey all,
I understand that when setting up your email you can chose that when you delete emails it either deletes them off the server or just off the device.. what im wondering is.. is there a way that we can have it similar to the blackberry? like when you select to delete an email it gives you an option of deleting it off your handheld and mailbox or just your handheld.
That way for junk emails that you want deleted straight away you can just totally delete them so they dont show up on your pc aswell without always having to go in a changing the settings?
Is this possible at all?
Thank you!

Windows Mobile 6.5 Imap Folders

I was doing some googling and this is as good a place as any to find users who have a clue.. so Im wondering if anyone has had this problem or a workaround.
I have a SE X1 (winmo 6.1) I configured my imap mail perfectly, but the only folders my device download from is the Inbox. I have other folders that I use to sort mail into (via mail rules on my desktop).. which are not downloading mail at all. I can see them listed, but they all show empty.
I was hoping this would be fixed in winmo 6.5, so I upgraded my X1 to 6.5 and the problem still exists. Has anyone else managed a workaround to synce other folders.. to clarify in the diagram below .. is an example of my structure .. in the example I am not getting mail in my client 1 or client 2 folder
Imap - Inbox
- Sent
- Client 1
- Client 2
- etc...
I hope that makes sense
Hi
I've got the same problem. If anyone has an answer...
Furthermore, the folders of my pocket outlook, like "sent messages" are created in my web mail account (like yahoo), because the name of theses folders (sent, trash...) are not the same.
UP!
I also have the same issue...
May be somebody can give an alternative?
Sync other folder
You can sync any folder you wish by selecting it as a managed folder. To do so follow these steps.
1. Open your mail box.
2. Click the options button and select Tools
3. Select Managed folders
4. Select each folder you wish to sync then click ok
The next time you send and receive mail the folder will be synchronized.
I had this same problem and just recently discovered this solution. In my case I would send a message from my Yahoo email account and although it would tell me it was sent, I would have no verification after the fact. It was not listed on my device in the sent folder nor was it listed via the website in the sent folder. I had to send a test to another one of my email accounts to verify the send funciton was actually working.
PLEASE NOTE: You should make sure your sent folder is fairly clean before syncing. I did not clean it first and it had to sync over 300 messages from that one folder.
I have tried this, but it appears that only allows the sync via activesync and not via the normal internet connection (ie when you are not connected to your pc) .. am I missing something ?

This is the way to do it on Win MO 6.1 - I have this set up on Blackstone.
Unfortunately on HD2 (6.5) I can not find Tools and manage folders choice.
Anybody knows where it is hidden?
FOUND IT!
Before someone else spends hours looking - Disable Sense, go to win standard GUI - all settings are there. Same thing with repeat sound in alarm.... GUI is hiding settings!!!!
Why HTC thinks they know what I want to see and adjust?
Often I do not want it the way I want it!!!!

I think you'll find that the option is there, it's just not immediately obvious that one needs to scroll down.
From your home tab, do the following:
Email tab
Inbox (left soft key)
Menu
At this stage it APPEARS that 'Go to >' is the last menu item. It actually isn't. If you scroll down you will reveal 'Tools' 'Select Messages' and 'Send via Bluetooth' .
'Manage folders' is in the 'Tools' sub menu.
No need to disable Sense.

You sure? For me it worked this way (same problem). I've not even activated email-syncing via ActiveSync.
thans a lot, ljhedrick!!

Hi Franwella. Excellent tip. I could not spot the tools option and you led me straight to it and now I have managed to sync IMAP sub folders with my Gmail account. Brilliant ! Thanks.
Cannot download messages from server over IMAP
Hello,
I would like to ask you for some help because I cannot find a solution to my problem and I really appreciate your expertise.
So, here is the problem:
Facts.
I have 2 email accounts:
- the main business account running on a IceWarp Merak 9.x server
- a personal account running on Gmail server.
Problem.
If I receive on both addresses (servers) the same html e-mail witch contains formatted text and pictures, then using the native e-mail messaging client of my Windows Mobile 6.5 HTC smartphone, here is what I get:
- on the main business account the message cannot be seen. What I see from the message is only BODY.PEEK[2]
- on the Gmail account I can see the full message, exactly as I can see it on my desktop.
I played with all the settings from „Message download limit” and „Download attachments„ for the main business account, in order to get it working. Here is what I found:
- any settings for „Download attachments„ does not change the behavior, the result is the same (BODY.PEEK[2])
- for „Message download limit” if I choose „Headers only”, download headers and then mark the message for download it is working. But this means that I should connect twice – more bandwidth and more time spent until get the messages. If I choose any other option except the above mentioned, I get the bad result BODY.PEEK[2]...
This problem is very annoying because I cannot read my business mails if I'm out of the office.
What do you think?
It is a server problem (IceWarp Merak 9.x)?
Or the native messaging client from Windows Mobile 6.5?
Can you help me to solve this problem?
Looking forward for your reply,
Best regards,
Stefan

[Q] how to empty stock mail trash folder?

Everything is in the title
I'm finding using the tablet extremely pratical, that I'm accessing since a while my mails accounts hrough the stock mail application (imap setup).
Unfortunately deleted mails remain in trash folder, and I found no way to erase them permanently other then selecting them one by one and deleting them.
Not much practical procedure when having >1000 mails to delete
Any way to empty the trash folder with one click?
Thanks
work around found
I accessed the trash folder through imap with a different client, and was able to delete all items with one click.
Stock mail client then re-synchronized trash to empty
Sadly, this feature is not avail in stock mail app

[Q] Pasting Hyperlink into Phone's Email App

I need to be able to copy hyperlinked text into an email. For example, I want the word forum to link to http://www.xda-developers.com/ without having to type the whole address.
I have a Nexus 5 running 4.4.2. I can copy hyperlinked text into a NEW gmail email, and it shows up to the receiver as hyperlinked text. In other words, the receiver could click on "Forum" and it would take them to your home page. However, I need to be able to do this with my work exchange account.
I have tried MailDroid, aquamail, mail.ru, cloudmagic, k-9, enhanced email, and others that will run exchange. With some of these you can just forward the text, but I need to be able to copy and paste the hyperlinks because each message I send needs changed made. I do know what I am trying to do worked on a Samsung Galaxy s3 running (not sure if it was jellybean or ICS) Tried finding that app. Copied it to the system app folder using FX app (with root access), but it won't work--the email keeps stopping.
It is a work account so I cannot forward it to gmail.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Thank you,
