Gmail + WM6

I am using the default email software supplied with WM6 on my TMobile Wing to check my Gmail account. I didn't want to have an extra Java app installed just to check Gmail, as I am really low on program space.
I like how it works, except for one little thing - when I get my mail, it also downloads emails that I have SENT and puts them into my Inbox as if I had received it, or sent it to myself. How do I stop this? Is there any way to make the software stop downloading from the Sent folder on Gmail?
Thanks!

Are you using POP to access your gmail? In the POP settings on your gmail site you can create a filter to control which email is downloaded via POP, so you could probably create a filter which excludes sent email

Yep, POP3 access.
That sounds like just what I need. I'll check out the Gmail FAQ and see what I can find.
Thanks!

Ok I didn't see anything to fix that in the Gmail settings or FAQ. Blah. I may just access it via the webpage. I liked having the poutlook do it though. Oh well.

Hmm use EMOZE

You can easily create POP3 account in WM5 or WM6 and manually do send receive or you can setup intervals which pocket outlook will access your Gmail account. In fact in pocket outlook when you create new pop email account for Gmail the setting will be made automatically. You simply need to enter your email address and password
Anyhow before doing above you need to enable POP3 in Gmail Web.
acces your web gmail --> go to settings and enable the POP3 access. Under settings there is also a tab for email filtering in which you can define which mails should be forward to POP3
Furthermore If you wan to have push mail, you can apply for free http://mail2web.com account. It is free MS exchange service. Forward your Gmail's to your mail2web account and it will push it to your device. (it functions perfectly)

I think you guys are misunderstanding my problem.
I have it sending/receiving manually, and it works just fine.
The problem is if I send a message at home on my computer, then I get my Wing and access my mail, it downloads the message I sent from my sent folder onto my phone, as if it were in my inbox.

What exactly is "pushing" btw?

RVM,
as I mentioned go to settings in your gmail web account there is the tab of filters. Then create a filter with your email
i.e:
from : [email protected]
Pushmail is similar to blackberry email, email that comes to your inbox will be pushed (send) to your hand device. You save manualy checking your inbox.

That's what I did. I went into filters and there was no option to have it not allow the sent mail to be downloaded via a POP3 client. I may have missed something so I will go have another look.

Temporary Exchange Work Around for 2.0 Eclair Gmail syncing issues

-After setting up your phone Open the email app (not gmail) Select exchange account.
-For Domain/Username put in "/[email protected]"(or "/[email protected]" or google apps users) without quotes. The password should be filled in from the previous field. The Exchange server is "m.google.com" without quotes. Check both boxes below for ssl and encryption and hit next.
-Select the checking frequency(push will notify you as soon as a new email is delivered) and amount to synchronize (up to a month). then select next.
-Put in an account name and display name, then hit done. If you have corporate calendar installed, then your calendar will synchronize and so will your contacts and email.
Now go to your account sync settings and turn off all syncs for your gmail account, but make sure sync and exchange are turned on so that it updates when new emails or contacts come in.
This is a great temporary fix until on of the devs finally figues out how to get the real gmail sync working
-Thanks to ebg10 via eugene373 for the great idea

I have gotten google sync working in this rom and all other 2.0 roms through exchange. It syncs mail, contacts, and calendar without the need for google apps. To get this working make a new exchange account and put in your gmail email address and password and then select manual setup. Select exchange account. For Domain/Username put in "/[email protected]" without quotes. The password should be filled in from the previous field. The Exchange server is "m.google.com" without quotes. Check both boxes below and hit next. Select the checking frequency(or push) and amount to synchronize. Select which options you want below, then select next. Put in an account name and display name, then hit done. If you have corporate calendar installed, then your calendar will synchronize and so will your contacts and email. Now you have push gmail, contacts, and calendar. Because exchange will only synchronize a month of emails, I also setup my gmail as an IMAP account so I still have access to my old emails. The android email app is not as good as the gmail app IMHO, but it is a temporary solution, and new emails seem to show up faster this way!

I didn't do it, the Above Member had figured it out. Credit goes to him. & All sync to Gapps need turned Off. as Exchange uses it's own sync & it's not apart go gapps at all.
settings>accounts & Sync> Turn off Auto-sync feature.

Slight problem I'm encountering. It doesn't work for me at all. Using a G1 with AOSP17.
And btw, is it meant to be a '/' or a '\'?

did you check both the check boxes?

Then your setting up your exchange account wrong if it's not working

thats probably not a very constructive reply.

Meh, it just won't work for me properly. I finally made it work but it slows everything down for some reason.
Back to using Auto-Sync turn-on-and-off

I tried this but it keeps telling me authentication failed. All details are correct, checked three times. Any ideas?

I have a problem with exchange... after I set it up, my emails don't come in to the mail app. I have tried sending a new email and it doesn't show up in the mail app. I have also allowed it to sync and it still does not work. No emails show up in the mail app. Is anyone else having this problem?

OK that's strange but after giving me authentication errors earlier it has now synchronised my calendar. Funky..

Google Sync over exchange officially only works in the U.S. That might be causing some of the problems.

Yahoo mail app

Anyone know how i can sync my yahoo mail account (yahoo mail app) to my phone ????

Hi,
1. you can install the "Yahoo! Mail for Android" app from the Android Market (it's free). It works well and gives you full access to your contacts & folders, which I find very handy. You can move mails into your folders and they will sync with your main account.
2.you could create a mail account directly on your phone by running the app "Setup" and following the prompts or
3. Menu / Settings / Accounts & sync / Add account and follow the prompts.
For me no. 1 is best. Btw this is for a HTC Desire with standard ROM on V2.2,
Hope this helps. Cheers .....

I agree, the Yahoo Mail app works pretty good. The only downside is that even though it knows when you get new mail, it doesn't download it or update the folder views until you open that folder, so there's a lot of your time wasted while it refreshes the folder.

K9 mail surely works for Yahoo, as it does for any IMAP or POP provider.

Can someone upload or send a link to the latest Yahoo! Mail apk. I found version 1.0.1 online but it now tells me that I have to have a required update to v1.0.4. Unfortunately, my tablet doesn't have full market access (yet!). Thanks in advance.

+1 for K9, I have it fetching my Yahoo, Hotmail and doing Push for my multiple Gmail accounts. Does folder/labels too.

Sure, but it doesn't support the "push" part. You have to check the Yahoo mail manually. It sux big time, if ya ask me...
I've tried every possible setting (servers/ports/encryption) but you still have to check manually. *sigh*

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.

[Q] Adding HOTMAIL account on Galaxy S6

Hi all.
I've had just about every Galaxy flagship phone in the Samsung series and am certainly not a stranger on setting up accounts.
I have 2 hotmail.com email accounts, a business and personal. I tried setting up my personal entering details correctly and I get "authentication failed" ... Hmm, that's strange. I jump on a PC and CONFIRM the password I used was indeed correct. I tried setting up the account manually (POP3) which wasn't a problem, however the device has absolutely no interest trying to connect to my account and sync. It keeps telling me the OP3 server is not responding. Sorry Samsung, but I call bull****. It's like this any day of any week, too...
I have tried changing my password on the PC to something else. I then re-attempted the email set-up and received the same error...authentication failed. Now, google, gmail, yahoo, aol accounts (etc) ALL work fine. With absolutely NO explanation WHY this won't work and zero help from the internet or anyone else experiencing the same problem, I decide to try the OTHER hotmail account...enter the details and BOOM. It worked. So why in the blue f**king hell does ONE work and NOT the other?! Props to Samsung, they've really f*cked something up here - coz this has never been a problem on any phone I've used in the past.
Anyone have any ideas?
The device is running stock ROM and is rooted (problem also existed before root)

i gave up adding all my email accounts , on the phones last yr now I just use my gmail and for my other 2 email aco****s I forward them to gmail then when sending emails in gmail I can select which account I want to send from.

I had no problem adding a hotmail account. Are you trying to add them in Android's "Accounts" section, or to the Outlook app?

Like anyone does it - adding through the default email app on the phone...or settings - accounts - email - add new

Download the Exchange Services apk and install it. Reboot and then add the Hotmail account as an Exchange account in Gmail.

Do you kneed also the E-Mail APK from Google? If i install only the Exchange APK, i didnt see a additional Exchange Account in the Accounts Section of the Settings, if i try to add a new Account. Only the one which come preinstalled.

Obviously not like anyone does it, based on my question.
Have you tried getting the Outlook app and adding your accounts directly to the app rather than using the default email app and Android's account settings?

I didn't want to use additional apps, all emails in the one place only...otherwise defeats the purpose of having an all-in-one email add on a smartphone if you cannot add Hotmail, yahoo, aol (etc) in there together.

I downloaded and installedExchange APK (boomerang)? Installed, rebooted, added the account via 'accounts' under settings as an exchange email and it worked! Didn't need anything else. See below.

Hah! You champion! This actually worked. Unbelievable. I can't and even won't rack my brain trying to understand the retardation around this and the "work around" users must perform to setup a particular Hotmail/Live account. Thank you so much!

solution found for email setup (Hotmail)
I had problems setting up my Hotmail on the S6. The password it wanted was not my usual Hotmail login but an "app" password. I changed my Outlook/Hotmail password on a PC and then it sent me an email alerting me that I needed to update my "app" passwords with "fhrkdjfruofjrdlfl" (example) and then it easily connected Hotmail to my S6 using the standard email setup menus. Hope that helps somebody.

I have had this problem for the last 2 nights and on this forum, I read about signing up with outlook or samsung. I have been trying Samsung, so I downloaded the outlook app and I then had NO PROBLEM with it! I hope this helps you.
