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] HTC Sensation Email app - Push emails?

Hi,
i just noticed that the default HTC Email app on the sensation, in all its awesomeness, doesn't push emails to my device. it refreshes every 5 minutes or so.
is there any way to push emails ?
Im using a gmail account.
thanks

Turn your google mail sync off then back on again, and ensure your sync is always running, that is as best push you will get.

Pushmail doesn't work on WIFi for me with the stock apps.

I use Advanced Email. Very good app and you can also access folders which i have set up on hotmail

Where can I get this? You mentioned it once in one of my threads, and I've been trying to get it, but it's not on the market and Google didn't help me either.

so there is no way to get push emails on the default HTC app?

SOLVED.
I created a microsoft Exchange account with my gmail address and now emails are pushed!
thanks

You can also get hotmail emails pushed What you do is create a new Exchange/Active sync account. put in your hotmail address and password and click manual set up. Then in the username field make sure it's your full email address. in the server field type m.hotmail.com (even if it's a @live account) and you will be able to get your hotmail pushed. My school uses live mail for it's student mail and I get push email for that as well using the same method.
for yahoo there is a yahoo mail app that pushes your yahoo mail just like the gmail app.

Sorry mate its Enhanced Email, stupid predictive text

email app broken since android 2.3.5 and sense 3.0...

Hello everyone,
I've experienced some problems with the built-in email app since the update..
Ive got it configured with 2 exchange accounts (private and corporate), and the problem is basically inbox sync.
If i, on my pc or webmail, mark as mail as read/unread, move it, delete it, whatever - it gets synced to the servers np, and to the Enhanced Email app(installed to test) - But the built-in from HTC does not see the updates, my inbox gets new mail, but the existing mails is not synced to other folders or marked/deleted.
Anyone else experienced this? And maybe got a fix?
Best Regards,

Yes, I have the same problem, when using an Exchange server and downloading email to a PC client using POP. New emails are downloaded OK to phone but when they are deleted via POP from the Exchange server this is not reflected on the phone.
This problem did not exist before the so called upgrade.
I also have the missing Power Off Button problem.

Push Mail

Hi
Is there anyway to speed the time the mail is sent to the phone from the time it is received by the service provider (that is like Hotmail or POP)
i have found it takes 30mins or more sometimes for the mail to reach my phone and it has been received by hotmail.
can anyone give me some advice on how to make this time shorter.
i am running RCMix3D Runny v3.3 on my inspire 4G
best regards

Most e-mail clients allow to adjust how often it queries the e-mail servers. It sounds like your client is using the default setting of 30 minutes or something. You'll have to go into the settings and adjust the "Check for e-mail every x minutes" setting.
If you want to receive Hotmail in realtime, you'll have to use the official Hotmail app in the Market.

X2 on the hotmail app, it works great. Also I found with the stock mail app when you delete messages it won't delete them off the server, the hotmail app does it instantly

How do you have hotmail setup? I have it setup as an exchange account in the default mail app and everything works instantly (receiving messages, deleting messages (which are also deleted from server), etc). I usually have it set to only sync every 15 minutes to save battery, but when set to push it works instantly.
server address: m.hotmail.com
username: full email address
Server requires SSL

This is what I have done and it is working great. Go to your email provider (Hotmail, POP3, whatever it may be) and set it to forward all your emails to your Gmail address (you do have a Gmail address, right?). Use the Gmail app on you phone and your emails will get pushed to you instantly. You can also set your Gmail account to use your other email address for replies and forwards, so it looks like it's coming from the original address and not Gmail.

Thanks for the excellent info people i really didnot know there was a hotmail app. but it was setup for every 30 minis. i have changed it to 5 mins cause thats the lowest i saw. i also want to find out about the the download messages which is set to 200. does this mean that the phone will only download 200 messages "per day"?
1 last final question which i am curious about. i have other folders created in my hotmail such as sent and drafts etc. usual folders is it possible to sync these folders with my phone inorder that my hotmail account will be in sync with my phone.
sometimes i use my computer to send out mails as well as my phone. but i cant sync the sent folder. please bear in mind i have not installed the hotmail app.
however i will try it as soon as i am finished sending this post.
thanks again people for your kind support.

thanks for the idea i did think of that option however i get alot of mail from gmail as well as hotmail and did not want them all mixed up. i am not sure if i can create a folder for hotmail in my gmail account and just push all the mail into that folder. its something i have thought about just have not tried it cause my emails have my work in them and i cant afford to mess them up.
best regards

You can try playing around with the settings in Gmail. I know they have fileters that you can set. I haven't tried it personally but I imagine you could set it to put the emails you forward from your other accounts into specific folders.

Try out K-9 off the Android Market
You'll never turn back. Fully customizable (potentially overwhelming).

Create a filter in Gmail for your hotmail account and add a label named "hotmail", then forward to your Gmail account. Check sync "hotmail" folder in Gmail app. settings

Email issues

Gday Guys,
Just wondered if anyone has had the same issues as i have with the HTC ONE XL (Telstra)?
The email setup facility on this handset gives you the obvious option to set up either yahoo, hotmail, gmail, other...
If you go into the hotmail setup (which i have), it sets up pretty much automatically after you input your username and password in. All good there. It shows my email address as normal, but when you go into it, and try and sync to view your emails, it states no emails present?
Its as if it is not syncing with the hotmail server...
Ive contacted HTC, they gave me 2 answers, the first was that they said there was no issues (useless), and the second guy i got stated they know about this and are going to be producing a patch to fix this issue....(mmmmm)...
I can add my email using the öther" option, and putting in the hotmail pop3 settings and it does accept my email address and even sync, but it will only allow me to sync once every 15 minutes... aarrrggghhhh.... lol..
Ive downloaded the hotmail app for the time being which works syncing my emails (inbox only), however it wont let me access my other folders within my hotmail account....
Just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced the same thing?
Thanks guys... sorry just noticed this is prob in the wrong section... can someone move as it wont let me delete it... grrr

Try setting your email up using IMAP or POP/SMTP. This should bypass any issues specific to your email provider.
