Deleted emails keep coming back - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Do you guys have a problem with deleted emails reappearing in your inbox after having already deleted them? I think it is more an android problem than a TF300 problem as my previous android tablet using Honeycomb and Gingerbread did the same thing. I find myself having to delete the same email several times before it finally stops coming back.
I also noticed recently that I am getting a little audible "chirp" when new email arrives along with the visual notification on the bottom right of the screen. Has ICS always been doing this or is it something new?

What email app are you using? The one that comes with stock? That one sucks

Well then that could be my problem as I am using the stock email app. Which do you suggest I try?

It could be that you don't have the app set to delete email from the server when you delete, and thus it is resyncing it. The chirp could be stopped by either disabling notifications in the app, or making sure the notification volume is set to 0.

I personally use the Gmail app, but I've good things about kaiten and k9 never tried them though. I had the same problem on my nookcolor with my hotmail email, everytime I opened it I would see old emails.

Using stock email app for a pop/smtp email server, set to do not delete from server, and I do not receive the emails more than once, even after delete.
Possibly your email server is incorrectly configured.

Yeah, I should try kaiten, but there is no free version to try out and it costs 5 bucks to do what looks like the Asus app already does.

Yeah but that leaves the emails on the mail server then when I check my email from my main computer it downloads them again.

Email not updating on Captivate.

Is it just me, or are other Captivate users having problems with the email not updating? I have my email set to check for new emails once an hour, but I only rarely get notifications that I have a new message. I have to check my email manually most of the time.
Also, I never kill the email app so it is running all of the time.

Which email are you using? Yahoo! With default email client? Then yes it has issues over WI-FI. The email does not work on wifi only works on 3g or edge.

I have this problem using the touch wiz email app over cellular and wifi. Regular gmail and yahoo aps work. Have to reboot, then the touch wiz email works. Touch wiz email blows, though.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I guess I am using the default email app... I assumed it was a standard android app on all android phones. I like the app because I can have multiple email accounts in one place.
So is this a touch wiz app? Or is it an android app?
Thanks for the replies!

The only problem I'm having with my email is with my corporate exchange account on both my Vibrant and Captivate.
I will get notifications about mail sent to my inbox, but I have rules set up to help organize my inbox, ex. mail from engineering dpt goes to a folder, and emails about project updates from group abc and xyz go to another folder.
I don't get notifications OR email for those emails unless I go into that specific folder and hit refresh, and then I get all those emails.
Although sometimes I will get mail notifications 7 Unread Emails but there won't be any in my inbox, nor will there be any in the folders.

Where might one find such a thing? I'm not having any issues right now, but have run into e-mail FC issues which were resolved by removing and re-creating the e-mail accounts. If a simple delete of cache data will fix it that would be a faster solution.
im having this problen too so where do i find the cache and storage? im new to this
I have only had my at&t Captivate for a few days, and I have noticed that my email client runs about 4 emails behind. When me IMAP server receives an email the email client sees it and notifies me, and if I'm watching it I can see the email for a split second, but it removes it from the client. I won't be able to see that email until I get another email on my IMAP server (4 emails behind).
I saw on this thread that someone had better luck with K9 client, so I loaded it to try. I am seeing the same basic results, except that when a new email comes in I can see it till the client polls again. Then the new one disappears and is replaced with the most next email in my account, staying 4 emails behind.
I can check this at any time by looking at my webmail or my iPad.
Can any tell me how to clear out the cache? I have completely deleted the email account and reconfigured the account with same results. I believe it is an OS issue.
Thanks!

To clear cache, from home screen:
Menu
Settings
Applications
Manage Applications
Menu - Filter-All
Scroll down to Email. Click it and clear cache. I've never actually seen anything in there on my phone, however.
On another note, I did find that ATK (Advanced Task Killer) was correlated with emails hanging in my Outbox and not sending for my Exchange Server account. I put Email on the ATK Ignore list and that solved it. (I'm only using the ATK widget to kill things like when I exit a program and GPS keeps running, but even that seemed to screw up my email.)

I have now loaded the Bionix1.2 ROM and I am having the same problem with it. I find it strange that it's only me having this problem. It stays exactly 4 emails behind.

I have now loaded the Cognition.v2.2.Beta4 and I still have the same problem. I have tried the K9 email cient, and obviousley have wipe the phone many times doing the ROM changes, and the problem remains. I would greatly appreciate any moderators feedback or help! I really love this phone and the Froyo ROM, but I need my email to work.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer!

[Q] the only gripe... very slow Email app with Exchange

The only gripe i have with the Galaxy Tab is the abominably slow Email app with Exchange integration. On any app start or when return from reading an Email it takes a full 30 or more seconds to load the Email list (i sync 1 week) and more often than not the screen / app becomes unresponsive and force closes.
I discovered that unlike Touchdown the in-built Email app simply downloads all Emails (1 week horizon) in all sub-folders (i have many, organization freak...). With Touchdown i can pre-select the folders i want on the Phone/Tab, which obviously makes the number of items much smaller.
By now i don't want to change from Email to Touchdown, because I like the integration of Emails & calendar entries, etc. native, but I have to work with the tab on work Email,... can't wait for every mail for 30 sec to load
Does anybody experience this too, and are there any remedies?
thanks
That isn't the case with me. I have 27 subfolders (really), not counting Inbox, Sent, Junk and Deleted folders. I need to manually refresh all but the main Inbox.
Response time moving from folder to folder is also a non-issue, and I sync back a full month (which is thousands and thousands of emails). I don't notice any extra delay when leaving Email and doing something else on the tab either.
I'm using Push, not timed polling, and no "peak schedule" so that may make a difference.
Sounds like you might have some database corruption going on. Try going into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All/Email and then "Clear data". This will nuke the mail on your device without changing your account settings. Sync up again and see if you still have the problem.
If you do, go into Accounts and Sync, click on your Exchange account, and click Remove Account, then reboot the Tab. Once you've done that, set your account back up, resync, and see what the situation is.

Same here,

Same with me. Very slow!!
It was the same on the original firmware/rom, on JK5 and JM6. Also performed full factory reset but it makes no difference.
Using the eval of roadsync at the moment and it works pretty well but it does not integrate very well with the calendar and contacts apps. I will probably configure roadsync for email and the built in app for calendar and contacts to get a working solution. Annoying and very disappointing!!

This worked for me no lag when opening up my corp inbox. Tab now 100% perfect.
Had to change the galaxy email app shortcut as it was set to open the previous account by default. Even though they were called the same it always opened a blank mail box . I then had to change to all accounts. Now resolved

Be careful, it's a very OLD email.apk, from a pre-release leak of the Tab ROM.
It's missing a few features, and it has a lot more connection issues. I tried it just to bypass needing a PIN, it was not reliable.

ok, this thread needs to be updated a bit, because just simply referring to the link is bad advise.
it broke my camera (driver crash), probably because the email.apk posted in the other thread linked does not have an *.odex file
i reverted back to the original email.apk and email.odex and my camera is working again.
scary

now i am still stuck with a very slow email app

You have to use only the email.apk and keep the original Email.odex, then the camera works fine...
The only problem i found is that the version of the port is from an old version... anyone have a more recent version?

There seems to be a new firmware from samsung out... Wonder whether there is a new email client too...
Last time I tried to pull it from the fw, but didn't succeed.
Any solutions on this?
I think the problem is related with security from exchange. Because when I use the stock app I have to assign a pin to access the system, and the mail app works very slow, but when I use a modded version without the security it works normally...

The implementation of Exchange on Android is screwed... I use an Exchange 2010 server and not all my folders show on my android device. And even the ones which show dont update ona regular basis (My Sent folder updates once in a while... Right now it hasn't updated for 2 weeks)
On top of it it doesn't update all the features/items. For instance impossible to have birthdays for contacts. Or impossible to modify an event from the exchange calendar (It's only possible to delete it)
Not much to say. It's disappointing on a phone. It's ridiculous on a tablet (you expect at ;east the email client and the calendar to be perfect on a tablet)
Same happens to me since the beginning, anyone has found a solution???
I think it's unacceptable
Thanks

[Q] standard email (NOT gemail) client issues

Whenever I put in the correct info it just says retrieving email indefinitely.
Anyone else used the app with or without problems?
Have you enabled pop/imap from a desktop pc in gmail itself?

Nope, but I'd really like to use the seperate apps since I have a gmail for my personal use and I have my business email which I use for my freelance work, and I'd rather keep them strictly seperate.
I misread you before, sorry. You still need to set up any other email accounts you are using to enable pop or imap access, so if its not enabled already you will get the type of error you describe, or it will just time out.
Well, it works fine on my phone with the same settings. It's set up for POP3.
I actually like the asus email- i used to be a K9 fanboy until i tried the Asus stock yesterday- have 4 diff emails going to it with no probs. The email widget got stuck on 8 unread emails for a while so i just deleted it and than brought it back and it works great.
Still use k9 on my phone and Archos 101.
I had to set each acct to pop or imap like SD said above for the asus to work correctly...

how would I set the account to POP3? also why does POP3 work for my phone running gingerbread with default mail client and exact same settings?
Anyone else have issues with the widget for the default mail app not updating with the number of unread mail? Other than that it seems pretty good to me.

That should be fixed by running the first firmware update.
Have to say, the stock email app almost good enough to tempt me away from K9.
Is there any way to get the app to download more emails though? I have about 300 emails in my IMAP account. Everytime you tap on "Load more messages", it downloads 25 messages. Have sat there downloading 25 at at time until all 300 are displayed. However, when I quit the app, then reload it later in the day, it automatically syncs and removes all my downloaded emails, until there are only 25 left in the Inbox again.
Bit annoying...
Alternatively, is there an app that combines the features of K9, with the split pane appearance of the stock app?

Honeycomb Stock Email App Problem!

Okay, I'm gettting really really pissed off at this issue and I need to know if this is just my tab or a honeycomb issue!! So using the stock email app (not the Gmail app) i send an email and i find that it appears as unread under sent. I figure that's fine so i click the checkbox and mark as unread--resync my email and i find that it still says unread!! Even if i give it a day or two, the "Unread Sent Mail" just stacks up...so frustrating. Am I the only one here? I can do a factory reset if that's the only option but i'm always busy and don't feel like rerooting and reconfiguring my tab to the way i want....any help? Btw, anybody else experience their alarm icon disappearing randomly during the day? Thanks for any comments or words of motivation haha

[Q] Gmail does not display full message

Evening all
Have just got a Smartwatch 2 and although I'm loving certain things about it, there are a few things that are proving to be frustrating.
I have paired mine with my Galaxy S4 and sadly the stock email app is not supported on the device. So I migrated my Hotmail account into Gmail (which is supported) but having done so, I can only see the first line or two of any email message. This is the case in both alerts and when I try to read the message.
I've tried K-9 but don't like the look of it on either my phone or the watch, so ideally I'd like to stick with the Gmail app if I can get it working properly.
Anyone else had this issue or know of a fix?
Cheers

It's the same for me with my Samsung Galaxy S2. However, via the app WATCHIT, I can read the whole text of the email. Watchit is supposed to only give the notification but it actually puts the whole text, while the specific app of gmail only shows 2 lines...
I am about to uninstall the Gmail App
Can tell me everyone what is the difference between 'toasts' and 'notifications' in the App WatchIt!? Sorry, I'm German and don't know what toasts in this way means. Thanks.

Great tip, thanks for this!
Watchit now installed, Gmail uninstalled and I can now see the full message. Bizarre that this needs to be done but it works!
The gmail app is only supposed to give you the first few lines of the email. It has always been like this - even on the previous smart watches.
Watchit will give you the full email but there is a limitation. If you do not read that email on your phone before getting a second email, you will not get the full email on your watch. Watchit appears to give the same text as what appears in the notification bar on your phone. Receiving more than 1 gmail without clearing the notification will result in watchit not providing the full email to your watch as the information is not available to watchit.
Notifications appear in your notification bar on the phone, meanwhile toasts are those little messages that appear at the bottom of your phone on top of everything and disappear quickly

Hi gargamel26l
Do you have problem on your hp when you activate accessibility to use WatchIt? Whenever I activate accessibility, all video will be very laggy. Any idea how to go about this. Thanks.
