Email help please - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all:
Just got a galaxy tab 2. I also have a galaxy s2 phone.
I was wondering, is there a more practical way to auto email?
What I mean is, currently I am using the email apps that came on the tab and phone, as well as webmail at work. Out is a godaddy email addess. Right now if I send an email, it it's not stored in any Central location, so if I send an email from my phone, and I an using my tablet, and want to reference the email I sent from my phone I have no way to do it. Same thing applies for ones I write on webmail, our on my tablet. I can only see them on the actual place they were sent from.
This is getting very confusing. Is there another way?
I know I could use webmail on all devices, but it doesn't work very well on the phone, or tablet.
Any suggestions?
Thanks so much!

I haven't checked to see if the SG2-7/10 supports IMAP, but if it does, try setting it up that way. IMAP syncs the folders you specify with the server.

Yea other than changing it to IMAP there is no way around this. It's not a device issue it's a email server issue.

Thanks so much for your replies. That was exactly what I needed!
Thanks again!

[Q] Help with Email

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right category. If not, I'm so sorry.
So basically I try to set up my embarqmail with Android (you know, used to be centurylink) but I can't. I've used the stock email app, K9 mail, and I'm now with Maildroid and I still can't set it up. Can you guys tell me what you did because I have no clue about imap, pop, server number, port, etc.
I even went to an AT&T store and they couldn't figure it out!

[Q] Mail on phone/Outlook Server

Have been trying to figure this out for some time. It seems from my on-line searches, others have too! I just purchased a Samsung Mesmerize after being a long time Blackberry user. I was hesitant as first, but almost immediately was hooked!
So on to the question: Has anyone figured out how to delete outlook emails from the phone without deleting them from the server? My Blackberry had a function to delete emails only on the device, when I would return to my desktop the emails would still be there. Haven't really found an answer anywhere other than it can't be done...

when i delete an outlook email on my phone it doesn't delete it on my outlook account, what email client are you using
I log onto my work email through an outlook exchange server (i.e. mail.xxxxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/exchange). I set the email up through the Mesmerize mail client.
Thanks for the response!

mine is the exact same way, and I dont see any settings that even give you a way to change that settings like on black berrys.. so I'm wondering if its set like that on the server side at your work
edit#
although, I did set up my outlook account through account and settings, which still uses the default email client, but that's the only thing I did different than you.. it's worth a shot...

you're welcome, let us know if that fixes the problem or not..

Ok, so i just double checked to make sure that mine does not delete off the server which i was sure it didn't... Turns out I was wrong. Mine does delete it off the server, I swear I thought I tested that out when I first set it up and didn't think it did...
Sorry about the confusion...
Also, I'm sure you're aware but when you delete it from your phone it does store it in your trash can on your server, just in case it's something important...

If you use touchdown, it gives you this option, I don't think i'ts free though.
@elijahblake No worries...I have it set to only show emails for 1 day so it's managable. In the big scheme of things it helps keep me organized!
@bdemartino I will check out Touchdown. I appreciate the input!

Any way to see 4 gmail accounts in 1 inbox?

I see there are apps like K9 but ideally I'd not want to have to re-setup my accounts, but I don't see a way to see all 4 gmail accounts in one box. If I set them up in the Mail app the delivery is delayed but the gmail app is near instant but it drives me nuts not being able to see all email in one box.
Thanks!
In K-9 setting, make your default view as unified folder.
THis way it will show you all emails from all account.

Oh I said aside from K9 so I don't have to type all my accounts hee hee
Ideally want to keep the stock gmail but guessing that isn't possible eh?
You could foward your accounts to just one.

Not the ideal solution, especially for replies.
Any update to this one? I'd prefer 1 email box instead of 4.

That's not one inbox it then separates them into 4. I want a single unified inbox.
Oh. Then k9 is your best bet.

No good for me :-(
I'm using the stock ROM and email app and it gives a choice of seeing email from all accounts on one screen. On the side it has a colored bar that shows what account the email is from. Not sure if that's what you mean.

Yeah that's the built in mail app, designed for non-gmail. To use gmails' true push functionality, one has to use the gmail client. Unlike Mail app, it allows you to add as many as you want but you have to view each separately. :-(
Guess what. If you set up your gmail as an exchange account you can get true push. Just use set up manually and use m.google.com as the server.

You're going to have to give me more detail than that
It wants the email, which I have my own domain I use through Google Apps, which for all intensive purposes is the same as google, it's just @mydomain instead of gmail.com, but all the servers are the same...
The issue is it wants a server, which the m.google.com doesn't fly with setting it up, then it wants a domain, and if I enter gmail.com or my domain it doesn't work.
I just set mine up as a test. Check requires encryption. Server is m.Google.com I left domain blank. Worked fine.

OMG You're a GENIUS (Again!). I was trying m.gmail.com and that's why it wasn't working. I changed to m.google.com and it works great as an exchange server. Thank you so much!
Seems a lot better than having to look at one box at a time in the Gmail app

Hotmail/Live settings with custom domain name

I can't find anywhere how to set a Hotmail/Live account that has a custom domain name. On Windows Mobile, the Windows Live app set up seamlessly. If I had a @hotmail.com domain, it would be easy. But my 'Live' email doesn't use the hotmail.com domain.
I need some better search wurds...
Pop settings
Based off what you are stating, you might be able to try the Live Pop settings as discussed here: http://www.ehow.com/how_6728632_configure-email-outlook-mobile-phone.html
Don't know if this will work but it is worth a try.
Try m.live.com

Sweet! that did the trick, at least for the email part. Everything I was reading had me trying settings for and Exchange email. Just about every page I found had me tweaking hotmail.com settings, and one combination I tried sync'd my calender and contacts, but only downloaded one email.
OK, went back to the Exchange settings over the pop3. It was working correctly before, I just didn't realize it doesn't back sync earlier emails.
My company email is [email protected][I]xyzcompany[/I].com and I used m.hotmail.com as the server and it seems to be syncing correctly.
OK, this thing won't keep any email that is more than two days old. No matter what number of days I select. It syncs contacts and calender just fine tho.
*scratches head*
SI don't know that it would help but they just released an official hot mail app in the market. I know it isn't the greatest solution but it may solve your problem.

Hey thanks buddy. I searched the market for an 'official' MS app. I was looking for "Windows Live" as my search words, and all I found were 3rd party apps.
It seems to work pretty good. And handles multiple hotmail/Live email accounts.
Now if I can just keep all my contacts straighten out. This phone like to sync toooo dam much info, and I've been deleting duplicates and redundant info for days now! Ah.. gotta love the learning curve that comes with a new (to me) OS.

E-mail

In using outlook. Com for e-mail but I would like more than just a notification in the gear. What do you guys use? I am not saying much luck with the stock e-mail app.

Are you on a Corporate Exchange Server for your Outlook? The email on watch for Gear 1 was broken, again, from the last update. I recommend Cloudmagic, as it brings the email text to my Gear again. Give it a shot.

I just switched from K9 (only thing useful on my last watch) to the stock email app on my Galaxy S3 (running 4.2). I can now read the entire contents of emails once I open the notification and can refer to them in the email app. BEST FUNCTIONALITY *EVER*!! It's really useful to just pull up the email without pulling out the phone (or even having the phone on me). My boss is tech resistant, but even he thought it was really cool.

There are a few things that could be amiss. Are you using one of the supported phones? Do you have the notifications for email turned on in the Gear Manager?
I've heard that "starting over" will sometimes work. Unpair the watch from the phone. Factory reset the watch. Uninstall Gear Manager. Reinstall Gear Manager. Pair the watch to the phone. Re-enable notifications. ymmv.
Good luck.
I changed the custom rom and now it is working great
