Hi folks,
The native email app on my Verizon Galaxy S III is setup for POP3 send/receive with my ISP account, just as I've configured on prior phones. When it "syncs" email, anything in my Inbox on the phone literally disappears and new email is downloaded and shown in the Inbox. Sometimes, email sits on the phone for a day then is erased on the next synch.
I've tried turning off synch for this POP3 email under Settings -> Accounts, which seems to keep the Inbox populated longer than an hour or less, but nothing prevents emails from being removed up to a day after being received.
This behavior is unwanted and seems a bug - exact thing happens on our other GS3.
Ideas welcome.
UPDATE: I found a repeatable scenario for this symptom and reported it to Verizon Technical Support. This seems specific to email programs based on the stock ICS code for this phone. I have purchased Kaiten email as a workaround option (it's very good, IMHO - K-9 email is the earlier, still-free version of Kaiten, if you are interested to try).

The included email application also irks me as well; even when I set it to sync ONLY my inbox, it floods me with email from all my other folders, including the junk folder... And to top it off, it syncs waaay more than I tell it too..
Anyways back to your problem, have you tried clearing the email application's data? Perhaps starting fresh with the application might be what you need.
To do that, just to Settings -> Application Manager > Look for 'Email' , press it, and then hit "Clear Data".
When you launch email after that, it will be as if you first opened the application.
Hope that helps..
Thanks, we've tried clearing, deleting/reinstalling the accounts, etc. and no go. I've setup these same POP3 accounts on multiple devices in the past for all sorts of email clients and this is the first to wipe out prior emails before my eyes.
Email should be rather basic and is kind of essential, so a bug like this is odd.
I also don't understand what the Settings -> Accounts -> Email -> Synch checkbox is supposed to do in this case, since the Email app has settings to check for new email every 15 minutes and does so if I uncheck that box in the phone's Settings.
Unfortunately, I haven't found another email client - pay or free - which has a decent interface in comparison to this basic app. It seems stupid to pay for such a basic feature, so I'll phone this in to Verizon as another complaint about the phone (i.e., it won't be the first, unfortunately - I'm hoping this feedback gets to Samsung eventually), but am willing to try other clients just to get a clear, basic interface and solid operation.

Well, if your phone is rooted (it is much easier to do it now in less than five minutes), then you could also replace the stock email application with the aosp email application. It'S the email application that's on pure android. I find it much better than the included app.

Yeah, I've been avoiding root - even with the new procedure - in case the phone needed to go back in due to any h/w issues, since I had WiFi oddness in the first week (which has since gone away . . . even more odd). Just didn't feel like going through unrooting, etc. if returnable issues continued.
It might be what I need to do, though it can't hurt to give Verizon a call and report this app behavior.

I am having a somewhat similar situation. Using the stock email app on my S3, my inbox seems to be deleting any emails older than 1 week? I do have it set to "Never". Anyone else have this?

Yes, though this happens within 24 hours for both of our GS3 phones, despite the "Sync" values in Settings for each account.
I am literally seeing the emails disappear before my eyes on refreshes, as they don't even go into Trash. Something seems awfully amiss.

I rely on my emails for business, so this is a huge issue for me.
I am going to give K-9 a try. I might also look into syncing my business account with Gmail using IMAP

I decided to root the Galaxy S III (with the quick method), deleted the shipped email and exchange apps, installed the AOSP versions from ICS and . . . emails disappear from the InBox even faster, now. So, there's something odd going on, here.
I found a copy of the Verizon stock image for our phones, researched how to convert and mount the system.img.ext4 file contained therein, pulled out the Samsung SecEmail and Exchange .apk and .odex files, then recopied them into /system/app. Rebooting had my Samsung email working again, bugs and all.
So, now I'm going to unroot and call Verizon Support. Titanium backup had a backup of these apps, but when I uninstalled the apps from the phone . . . it also deleted the backups, apparently. Hm.
Thanks.

Definitely freaky behavior! I don’t have a phone with POP3 in front of me so I may not have the menu wording exact. I found that if you change Amount of Mail to Sync to “1 Month or 100 Emails” (it was the last option in the drop down box) it corrects the deleted email problem.
Hope this helps,

I dont know if you want to go through this or not. I was having serious email issues also. stuff deleting, not receiving, not pushing...etc. I was rooted with a newly flashed Rom and thought maybe it was the Rom causing the issues. Everything on the Rom was working perfectly except this. I also use my email for work so it was important that it work correctly. I had just spent several hours setting my phone up but decided to wipe clean again and reflash. In my set up with Bean V5 it asks if I wanted to restore any emails already set up. the first time I pressed yes, this time I bypassed and instlled everything and prcedded manually not using auto. Everythign went through fine and my email and the rest of the software seems to be working just fine. It was a lot of work and wasted time but hopefully it will be worth it if all works well. Just a thought.

Thanks, it was one of the early options I tried here (actually, went with various values), but both phones still delete Inbox emails within 24 hours.

When I reinstalled the default Samsung email + Exchange APKs after backing out the AOSP versions, I went through "Manual" configuration this time . . . we'll see if that matters, but it really shouldn't. Thanks for the suggestion.
- ooofest
Ouch, it's still not working? If manually setting the settings doesn't work, perhaps it is an issue with the email service you are using... If there is a web interface for your email service, perhaps you have a setting for deleting a message after a certain amount of time or after you view a message. Perhaps that's the case?
Just a thought, I hope in the end it all works out for you

Yeah, it's rather odd. I tried our Droid Incredible, Incredible 2 and Galaxy Tab (all on Gingerbread) yesterday, with no problems retaining our POP3 emails.
Seems to be a POP3 issue related to the ICS email client. Testing with a Play email replacement today . . .
- ooofest
OK, while on the phone with Verizon Support, I figured out a repeatable problem scenario:
Setup a POP3 account using the default Email app
Pull down emails from your server using POP3. There will be new emails in your phone's local Inbox and you can do anything you like with them (i.e., all functionality is enabled and operates as expected).
At this point, you can sync/refresh the Inbox for your POP3 account as much as you want and the emails you downloaded remain local to the phone.
Delete some or all of the previously downloaded emails from the server. This happens sporadically in our case, because only our PCs delete emails from the mail server at various points in the day, but our phones poll for new emails every 15 minutes.
You can still sync/refresh the Inbox for your POP3 account as much as you want and the emails you downloaded remain local to the phone.
Send a new email to your account, i.e., place a new email on the server.
Refresh your account's Inbox on the phone by either re-opening the closed Email program or hitting the little refresh circle in the upper right corner while viewing the Inbox.
Your new email will be downloaded from the server. And, all emails that were deleted from the server will disappear from your Inbox.
So, the local Inbox disappearances only happen for emails that were deleted from the server, during a synch that brings a new email to the Inbox from that same POP3 server.
I reported this scenario to Verizon Technical Support for submission to Samsung.
There may be other repeatable scenarios which cause local Inbox emails to disappear from the stock Email app, but I am not yet aware of them.
They had another report of the same issue, with only recommended workaround being the installation of a new POP3-supporting Email app (they suggested K-9).

I can tell you K9 won't work, either. It also deletes all your emails that aren't on the server once you sync just as the stock app does, however I didn't try K9 with the stock email app deleted so who knows? I guess I'll give it a try with the stock app deleted and report back.
I'll be following this thread, meanwhile I'll probably re-activate my Thunderbolt or my old BlackBerry because, unfortunately, I cannot live with this bug.
UPDATE: Use Titanium BU to remove email app(s), reboot and install Aqua Mail, it retains emails after they are deleted on the server!
This means TOUGH LUCK, ebay people, my Galaxy S3 is NOT FOR SALE!

I've moved to the purchased Kaiten email app - from the author of K-9 - and it works great. Respects the settings for each account and there have been no unexpected actions. UI is solid, too.

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.

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.

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 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!

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 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!!

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.

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.

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?

Yup. From the maker of K9 - Kaiten Mail. A little rough around the edges, but exactly what I was looking for (same as you).
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kaitenmail
The installed email client (not gmail) looks decent but fails to support TLS as well as map folders such as Trash -> Deleted Items. I read the forums and noticed that Google neglected mapping issue since 2009!
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1811
I tried K-9 Mail for my IMAP email and found it to be quite decent but have a few issues:
1) Is there a widget that can display unread e-mail just like the default one? or last 3 e-mails display?
2) Can I replace the icon?
3) Is there a roadmap to include like a two-pane display like the default email client? Or another email client that is Honeycomb optimized?
4) Is there a way to disable the default e-mail client service since I will be longer be using it? Do I have to care about such services running in the background?
Thanks in advance!

The installed email client (not gmail) looks decent but fails to support TLS as well as map folders such as Trash -> Deleted Items. I read the forums and noticed that Google neglected mapping issue since 2009!

I tried K-9 Mail for my IMAP email and found it to be quite decent but have a few issues:
1) Is there a widget that can display unread e-mail just like the default one? or last 3 e-mails display?
2) Can I replace the icon?
3) Is there a roadmap to include like a two-pane display like the default email client? Or another email client that is Honeycomb optimized?
4) Is there a way to disable the default e-mail client service since I will be longer be using it? Do I have to care about such services running in the background?
Thanks in advance!

Try Kaiten mail from the Market. It's based on K9, and made by the same person. Has the split pane thing. Little less polished than the stock offering, but the feature set more than makes up for it.
As for disabling stock, I guess just delete the accounts - shouldn't take up any resources that way. Or, go the whole way, and root your Transformer, then you can delete the Email.apk
+1 on Kaiten Mail. 4 updates in the past week - the developer is on top of it, and responds to emails. It's much more polished than it was 2 weeks ago.
Didn't know about Kaiten! Thanks! Hopefully it has the folder mapping. I guess I can find out by trying it for 15 minutes.
Do you know if there is a widget that would work with it?
+1 on Kaiten.
I don't think there is a widget for it. I wish there was...
There is no widget, and I've asked the dev about this - he has got some higher priority additions to make, and will hopefully have a widget done over the summer.
Well, despite rebooting working for me as mentioned above.. it appears as though a problem has crept in with the Asus email app.. basically if I have the transformer's WiFi sleep policy set to "WiFi off when screen off" then the Exchange push email config I have with my gmail stops working.. a reboot fixes it, but I know that this was working before...
The only thing I can think of trying is deleting my email setup and re-applying it - which I've done now.. will see if that cures anything but not holding my breath..
Anyone else using Exchange sync (to gmail) with the Asus email app.. and the same WiFi sleep settings?
I'm trying out Kaiten mail as well. Had some definite enhancements over K9 though some little glitches. For a dollar over the weekend in the Market it's worth playing with. Think i still prefer gmail app bc I got used to the convenience of the conversation style grouping which I find very handy for reviewing strings of messages. Hope to see Kaiten mail evolve as I'm sure it will.

I have checked everywhere i can and have found nothing else on this issue.
My wife has a shift and the only email account she has on it is yahoo. When she opens up some of her emails, she can start reading them and then about 10 - 15 seconds later the email disappears. She hits the back button and the email is still there, but when she clicks on it and pulls it up it is blank. I have deleted the account and re-installed it, I have changed the incoming and outgoing servers, and have done hard reboots with no fixes. Any suggestions?
I personally have an evo 4g with no problems.
Thanks
If your rooted, you can try deleting the account. After that boot into Recovery, Wipe Dalvik, wipe Cache, and then Reboot. When it's done rebooting and has settled down. Add the account back on. See if that resolves the issue.
Her phone is not rooted so i can't do that with hers. Thanks for the suggestion.
Could try a hard reset, as a last resort. Not sure if it will help.
My mothers phone is doing the same thing right now, and her phone is rooted.
I did notice a small fix for my mother phone and that was this. I was not able to find a fix for gmail on the mail app.
The stock settings for yahoo email shows as
htc.imap.mail.yahoo.com
ssl 993
htc.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
ssl 465
I changed it too: so all i did was cut out the "htc."
imap.mail.yahoo.com
ssl 993
smtp.mail.yahoo.com
ssl 465
me too.
Both my girlfriend and I have this same problem. We both only have one account in the stock mail app and it's Yahoo. I was hoping that rooting and moving to a different ROM would help fix this, but nope.
This happened to me unrooted as well. I am currently running x99's rooted OTA GB release so I'm wondering if it is something within the stock e-mail app. I've tried others before and prefer the integration and features of the stock app. So, if anyone comes up with something let us know.
Word of advice: STOP USING YAHOO MAIL AND SWITCH TO GMAIL.
I'm not saying this to be a troll, ****, or jerk. Yahoo mail is majorly flawed. I highly suggest to get off hotmail, windows live mail, yahoo mail, aol mail and aim.com mail ASAP.

Then you won't mind educating me on how Yahoo Mail is majorly flawed. I've been using it since 1997 and have had very little to no complaints about it. Unfortunately I just realized I didn't wipe as well as I could have before flashing x99's ROM so I'm hoping a redo of that will fix my issue. Still doesn't make sense for the non-rooted stock people though.

1) Bad spam filtering - real email gets blocked while spam gets through.
2) Bad email server verification see 1
3) Bad interface
4) Lots of fake accounts, bad account security
5) Yahoo will be bankrupt soon if not bought by another company
6) You're using a Google phone, to use yahoo mail, when you could be using the native Gmail client and not have these issues in the first place, have all your contacts, calendar, and email synced and backed up in the google cloud.
So again what's the point of even bothering?
I recommend signing up for a google account and moving everything over. It's really not that hard or painful. Just connect with Outlook via POP3/IMAP, export to PST, connect to GMAIL, import PST from Yahoo, update all your online accounts until email stops coming in to your yahoo account.
