mail client is going haywire - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK... for nearly a month I used the stock mail client for email and it was great! It has a couple perfect Widgets imho but as of the late it has been giving me consistent errors...
It keeps claiming my email credentials are incorrect when I know they are correct since I was able to login to the site based email with same exact credentials... Anyone else experiencing this all of a sudden?

Yea it was happening to me just a little while ago. I disabled the gmail app sync and notifications and so far so good. Maybe the gmail app and stock email app conflict when synchronizing?

Ah I may give that a try... seems to be an intermittent problem for me so I'm almost thinking its a problem on Yahoo's side and not the client itself...

If it is yahoo then I think the issue is on their part. My wife's atrix 4g is doing the same thing now. She thinks I'm some kind of tech genius. I couldn't get it to work and eventually the account was locked. No problem with access to the account in the browser.

maybe there is something larger going on here
recently after a wipe and fresh install
I've been able to re-set up email accounts for by myself and my wife except for 1 hotmail account,
any time I try to set it up, it says there's a server error
the other accounts, including another hotmail account are working just fine
and as others stated above, I'm able to log in from PC just fine

Is your error with Hotmail a server error like you said or a log in issue? If that is the case it may not be the same as our yahoo mail problem...

it's a server error, it has something to do with the total number of accounts,
combined total of personal and business emails that I and mainly my wife has is 6
5 accounts are working
If I remove one of the working accounts and try to add the last remaining account in it's place
it works
just all 6 will not work at the same time
when I was on stock .29 all 6 were functioning at the same time
it seems to be a problem with the mail client in .30

Push mail with two servers

I was searching the forum, and elsewhere, and could not get a way of solving the issues..
Problem:
1. Exchange server (office related) is occupying 'push mail' using ActiveSync definitions. Works just fine.
2. Google APPS - although it can push mail, I have to connect as IMAP or POP account , losing push mail. Works fine as well..
However- recently I have a need to get notified right away when I get an email on my google account. I can use activeSync to push google, but my current exchange server does not have POP or IMAP. I tried changing the intervals of checking my google account (using IMAP) to every 5 minutes. That works kind of OK, but my battery drainage increased to a point I have to charge before i get back home.
I looked into solutions like Chronobilis, but it did not work. I need mainly emails, not calendar and contacts to be pushed (obviously). Even a paid service is nice, but I can not use a 3rd party service if my emails are sent to an un-authorized 3rd party server, especially if servers may reside outside the US.
Any ideas?
Possible solution...
Have you tried the SEVEN Beta Program? It does provide push email capabilities for free. I used it awhile back to have multiple email accounts from Exchange and Gmail pushed to my phone.

I would try a demo of touchdown from the market it can activesync i dont recall if it can do multiple accounts or not but I thinks not but YMMV.
Seven ! that's it !!!
WOW...
Tried the solution offered , using SEVEN, and it is great. Was not only able to pusg Gmail and Exchange at the same time, but I am getting rid of ActiveSync I never liked...
Thanks guys. Prompt answer, and a damn good one too..

Emails

I have over 400 emails and my phone only showing me 100 of them. Amyone else having this issue?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I guess no one is having this problem?
I am suprised no one else having this problem, I guess I have a defective one.
I noticed this just a day ago. The POP emails seem to age off after 1 week or if they get deleted on the server.
My assumption is the email client on the phone is doing this; it should not, but there is no other reason for it. The only relevant email setting i can find is if the client should delete on the server.
I was starting to like Touchwiz, but Samsung really messed up the email client. I hope custom Roms give us a better email client.
I also have a problem with POP3 fetch. I have 1 Exchange, Gmail, and 3 POP3 accounts. Exchange works as it should, but the POP3 accounts seem to stop fetching overnight. Even manually refreshing doesn't work. I may have rebooted before or just waited... not sure.

I had the inverse problem. IMAP stoped retreiving my mail and POP3 worked
(I had 2 IMAP + 3 GMAIL)
Now 1 IMAP, 1 POP and 3 GMAIL
Email Client Is Too Slow
Why is the email client so dang slow?
It's slow in general but mostly when I go to delete emails.
If I select several emails for deletion they pop off one at a time every 5 seconds or so.
No other phone I've owned has ever taken this long to do something as simple as delete an email.
Is this a problem with just the Captivate and TouchWiz, or does it happen with other Android phones as well?
Will this be fixed in FroYo?
Also for some reason some e-mail clients like Eudora, has an issue with the stock e-mail app from Samsung, it does not have proper mail headers and Eudora will show up as gibberish. I have switched over to MailDroid and it seems to be a lot more responsive, less of a memory hog and actually has no problems with Eudora and other mail clients that require mime in the headers. As well as I got a -2 e-mail on an iMap account under the Samsung Stock E-mail app...
Cheers,
Charlie

really annoying issue with gmail, help plz!

Hey guys,
I tried to find a solution for this...havent found one yet. I have 2 gmail accounts synced on my captivate (running perception 10). One of the accounts is a google apps account the goes with the email extension [email protected] Now ever since I added this account on my captivate all the mail shows up read on the phone and on the online gmail client. All new mail shows up as read and it is really turning into a problem because it is my work account and I need to know about the new emails as they come. I have tried reflashing, removing the account and adding it again and nothing has worked so far. Any one have any possible solutions?
I am having problems with g mail as well. It will not send emails out but I can receive with no problems. I tried the email client built into the phone and it sends out just fine.

are you using outlook (or any other client) to pull in mail from this address? My wife had this same exact issue and we had to change her gmail pop settings to "keep gmail's copy in the inbox" as opposed to "mark gmail's copy as read", which was set originally. So when Outlook pulled her emails in, it marks gmail's copy as read causing her phone's copy to be marked as read.
hope this helps.

Surface doesn't support Pop3

Did you guys know this?
I think I am screwed for my email accounts.
Trying to sort out email alternatives with forwarding and such. MS has really come up with a convoluted email system, with their Outlook.com alias, etc.
I like the Surface, but I am a techy - I can see where the average user will have issues wit hthe way they do things and the lack of easy help.
It has options for pop3...What type of email do you have that it's giving issues with??

It has an option for Pop, but when you choose it, it will come up with an error saying its not supported . I see there are workarounds with forwarding and such but not as clean.
Until I can sort out I am forwarding all my mail through Gmail which I can pull into the Surface
The email that is causing all this is roadrunner.com
I didn't have any issues setting up my pop3 account hosted with ipower
you may need update the build-in mail app in Windows Store to newest version.
its not only RT. The windows 8 mail app doesnt support pop...... yet.
That is a curious decision by Microsoft. I haven't used a pop account in at least three years so no big deal for me.

Windows Live Mail
Windows Live Mail supports POP3, so there's a free alternative. I haven't used POP3 in a long time, except with my comcast account, which I don't need to check everywhere, but I do have it configured in WLM.
So, I just checked my Surface, and sure enough, it does NOT support POP mail accounts. It actually tells you right when you choose POP that it's not supported and requests you ask your provider to supply IMAP or Exchange accounts.
I bought the surface two days ago on the Microsoft Store opening on San Juan. I did it tomuse it more to work and the first think I did was try to installs my work email. It is a pop3 and I really can't believe is not working... this should be a business oriented tablet.
I tried the work around but I need when I replay an email to go with my work email, not my Hotmail account.
If some one know an app that do it please let me know.

The Mail app is generally complete junk for any non-EAS accounts. It literally would've been more fully-featured if they just ported over the Windows Phone 7.5 mail app (which supports POP3). IMAP support is horrendous (WP7's is also not great, but less atrocious), and lots of certificate-related issues.
Currently my main email account (IMAP) half-works-- sometimes emails load, but nothing sends (permanently stuck in outbox), and two other IMAP accounts don't work at all (doesn't accept the settings, which work fine on Outlook and WP7.5). Exchange accounts generally work fine.
The message they give you after you select POP3 might as well have a trollface on there.
I don't have the surface. But in add and remove, Windows companies, mail service, you need to check the pop protocol. I know my orders aren't as it is on the screen. But it's what I can remember.

That menu 1) doesn't exist in Windows RT and 2) even on Windows 8, it only affects Outlook, not the Metro Mail app.
I can't believe we are now a month after release of the Surface and still no POP3, or Mail program fix. On other forums and MS' own support forum, people are fuming about this stupid decision to ignore POP3 and people are returning. I know moit email providers have gone IMAP, but there are plenty of big ones who haven't yet and isn't MS all about customer choices.
Another thing - even in IMAP, if your SMTP outgoing server doesn't have SSL then you won't be able to send mail either. The only email I have that works is Gmail, and its the one I don't use much. Can't send business mail from my Surface.
I guess they want this thing to fail so they can upsell us all to the Surface Pro. . .
I am totally agreed. I read that MS push updates every second Tuesday of the month, so hopefully they fix it...

"Oh no! MS prioritized the better, faster, more secure protocol instead of the vestigial sack of puss my primary email still uses! How ridiculous!" -Everyone in this thread.
They'll get around to pop3, but is forwarding your mail to an imap account really a nuisance? You'll get all the advantages of imap AND the original pop account acts as a backup for all mail in case something goes wrong.

Yes it is - SMTP is broken too for some mail servers - I can't send a stupid work email with my real email address, which is IMPA on incoming.
Your response of get around to it sounds absurd a month after launch. Believe it or not some mail providers still do use POP3, and we shouldn't have to change our email to use the surface. Its things like this that will kill RT before it even gets off the ground.
News is that MS is already cutting back on production of the Surface - Here we go.

[Q] Sync email driving me nuts - pse help

When my 8010 note downloads email using the standard email app it syncs with every mail left on the email servers. Despite searching I cannot find a way to have it download only new mail since last connection.
Currently I have 5 email accounts and all sync up to two weeks worth of mail each time I connect
Is there any way to set this to new mail only? I need to leave the mail on the servers as I am away fairly often and might miss some if I clear it earlier than two weeks.
Also weird is that the trash empties OK but shows 23 on the folder!
What settings have you used pop or imap and what email service are you using
There is option in options which tell how back do you sync and also to certain extent there is a setting on your server tell what to sync
Thanks for reply.
I'm using POP for all accounts.
The only thing I have found is Email Sync mail On/Off.
Where are the Options you refer to?
I'm using JB UK version.
ok I cannot pin point the exact settings as I am using active sync but I used it earlier just go to the settings there is in the accounts the duration you want to sync also if you are using gmail please change settings in gmail also.
I really had loads of issues with syncing with pop account on stock email app and hence I configured activesync which works same like gmail app
Thanks, but I don't think there are any additional settings in normal mail, hopefully someone will correct me

Look on the mail sever side for options to download only new messages. It's really the mail server software that keeps track of what you've downloaded. I would look for settings options labeled pop mail settings or something along those lines.
Don't think that would work, because the server would stop other machines from downloading that were not up to date. AFAIK this is normally set on each email client.
Anbody find a solution for this?
Just can't believe there is no way to set the sync to download only once.
Are there any other mail apps that have intelligent sync settings?
Gettings mail that I downloaded two weeks ago repeated every day on the note 10.1 just sucks!

try Aqua Mail. i found some nice features in it.
free version gives you up to two accounts and enforces a signature.
OK, I have 5 accounts on my Note so free one is not usable
Secondly can you confirm that it solve the sync problem I am trying to fix?
