So I have a POP3 Hotmail account and I am having some issues with K9 Mail. For one, I can't get mail pushed to me at all! It always has to check for mail every 15 minutes. This isn't the main issue though.
I have been using this app for a long time now and I still cannot figure out how to display my Hotmail folders. I have set that the folders be synced every 30 minutes, but I cannot see them anywhere. Anyone know how to be able to see them?

Hi,
i just noticed that the default HTC Email app on the sensation, in all its awesomeness, doesn't push emails to my device. it refreshes every 5 minutes or so.
is there any way to push emails ?
Im using a gmail account.
thanks
Turn your google mail sync off then back on again, and ensure your sync is always running, that is as best push you will get.
Pushmail doesn't work on WIFi for me with the stock apps.
I use Advanced Email. Very good app and you can also access folders which i have set up on hotmail

Where can I get this? You mentioned it once in one of my threads, and I've been trying to get it, but it's not on the market and Google didn't help me either.
so there is no way to get push emails on the default HTC app?
SOLVED.
I created a microsoft Exchange account with my gmail address and now emails are pushed!
thanks
You can also get hotmail emails pushed What you do is create a new Exchange/Active sync account. put in your hotmail address and password and click manual set up. Then in the username field make sure it's your full email address. in the server field type m.hotmail.com (even if it's a @live account) and you will be able to get your hotmail pushed. My school uses live mail for it's student mail and I get push email for that as well using the same method.
for yahoo there is a yahoo mail app that pushes your yahoo mail just like the gmail app.
Sorry mate its Enhanced Email, stupid predictive text
I have 3 email accounts. Hotmail, Yahoo and Gmail. With my Hotmail account, I'll go in and read my email. Then when I get a new email, all the email I read weeks ago is now showing as unread. So instead of the email app showing I only have 1 new email, which is true, it shows I have over 10 new emails.... which in fact are just really old emails.
This only does it with my Hotmail account. I have it set to delete my email online when I delete it from my device. Not sure if that matters.
Does anyone know how to correct this?

Autosync? As in settings->account and sync? Hotmail isnt an option.

Happened the exact same to me.
I only managed to fix yahoo and hotmail
Hotmail: download the microsoft+SEVEN hotmail that one push syncs mail better than any other mail client for hotmail ive had and fixed my issue.

Yahoo: the yahoo mail client fixed all my problems for me.

As of gmail i still get some read mail as unread... only i could do to make it better was reduce the days it synced so less unread mail appears.
Hope it helps man.
(IF you only have trouble with Hotmail, ignore the Gmail and Yahoo part)
Gday Guys,
Just wondered if anyone has had the same issues as i have with the HTC ONE XL (Telstra)?
The email setup facility on this handset gives you the obvious option to set up either yahoo, hotmail, gmail, other...
If you go into the hotmail setup (which i have), it sets up pretty much automatically after you input your username and password in. All good there. It shows my email address as normal, but when you go into it, and try and sync to view your emails, it states no emails present?
Its as if it is not syncing with the hotmail server...
Ive contacted HTC, they gave me 2 answers, the first was that they said there was no issues (useless), and the second guy i got stated they know about this and are going to be producing a patch to fix this issue....(mmmmm)...
I can add my email using the öther" option, and putting in the hotmail pop3 settings and it does accept my email address and even sync, but it will only allow me to sync once every 15 minutes... aarrrggghhhh.... lol..
Ive downloaded the hotmail app for the time being which works syncing my emails (inbox only), however it wont let me access my other folders within my hotmail account....
Just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced the same thing?
Thanks guys...
Basically, I want to sync my email as manual during peak hours (hours when I am in office and can see emails on my computers constantly as it is annoying to have an alert for the same email on my phone). However, doing so makes my calendar sync as manual as well. Can I sync my calendar on push and email on manual (ideally using peak schedule setting where I will have my emails on push outside office hours)?
I hope it made sense what I am trying to do.
Pretty sure this should be in some other thread, but anyway...
As far as I know, you can't do that straightaway.
The simplest workaround, for Exchange at least, without Tasker etc is to make 2 accounts. One is your email as IMAP. In this, sync only email at whatever interval. Do not sync calendar.
The second is your email as Exchange. In this, do not sync email, only calendar, contacts, etc. Keep it as push.
It's fairly straightforward to set up. Only thing is you will have 2 accounts in your email client. I name one Email and the other Calendar, or something, and never see the second one.
You will need IMAP enable for your exchange account by administration.
See if that works for your setup.

I like the built in email app, but under sync frequency there is no option for push notifications. The most often it will sync is every 15 minutes. This is an Outlook account.
On my Gmail account however the option is there, but I don't use this as my main email account.
Anyone know a way to resolve this?
Then why don't you just configure Gmail to send and receive your Outlook mails?
Sounds like a bit of a faf. Why won't it give me the option on all my accounts?
Don't know, man. Waiting mine to arrive. I use gmail for all my mail needs.
