Hi...how can I prevent this forum from sending me email? Every time someone quotes one of my posts, gmail receives an email. I have turned off all email notifications in the settings for this website. If I set gmail to not notify me then I receive NO notifications on my phone that my gmail inbox has received an email...obviously I don't want that...since friends email me etc. I thought it might be a Chrome thing...but I have set everything there to never notify me of anything.
The only way I can stop this forum from emailing me when someone quotes my post is to disable notifications in gmail...since I can't handpick websites I don't want to receive email from...that just cancels ALL notifications as I said before.
By the way, I am NOT 'subscribing' to any threads either...so that's not the problem.
So what am I doing wrong?
thanks
Have you tried this:
1 - Click on Settings on the top right, next to your username.
2 - From the options on the left, choose the last one titled "Settings" under "Mention System"
3 - Check the last option, titled "Quote Emails" which has the description "Check this box if you do not wish to receive an email whenever you are quoted in a post."
4 - Save changes
Should work. Else, use filters in gmail to auto delete such emails...
Wow thanks a lot
'Mentions'...the only thing I didn't check. That'll teach me!

what does "Watch this topic for replies" do on this website (which can be found at the bottom of a post)? i thought it makes a list somewhere in my login account or somehow alerts me so i can more easily trace the ones i'm interested in piled up in those millions and millions of posts. can somebody pls explain, thanks?
No it doesn't make a list somewhere but send you a mail when a new message is posted in a thread.
well, that's strange then, cos i've never received any notifications by email when there's a new reply (whether it's my own topics or ones i want to watch). i've just re-checked my "profile" and my email addrs is correct, and that all the notifications were "yes" (as attached). and every time i post, "Notify me when a reply is posted" is also ticked. is there another setting somewhere?
That's odd. I usually get duplicate notification (2 messages per update) but only for the last topic I posted to. I don't think they save a list, just one topic per user.
Works ok for me
I watch about 15 topics & receive an email after each post. Although it would be nice to see all sucscribed topics in a list.
so wot am i doing wrong?? can anyone see anything suspicious in my profile settings?
Your profile settings look ok. Does your email account have some kind of spam filter? It is possible that the messages get blocked for some reason by the mail server. You should try a different email (there are plenty of free ones out there)
oh my gosh... I changed from a hotmail to another email addrs...and it's working, thanks a million. It must have been the hotmail spam filter.
is there a way to have the vox display the date and time messages were received? Either a setting on the phone or a programme I can install?

A friend of mine who used to have a SE phone asked me the same question.
Unfortunately couldn't find an answer. Doesn't seem to be a built in functionality. I found also references in forums with people asking how this could be done (by developing an addin)... Guess someone willing to develop it has some future ahead

Thanks for the reply. It just seems like such a basic thing i don't understand why MS would leave it out.
Cheers S
While in messages applications. Go to options. There should be something to check if you want to see the date and time of message arrivals. If that doesnt work, try the other way: when you read the specific message, click up on joystick one or two times. There should be all necessary info.
Try FlexMail 2007 from WebIS (www.webis.net). It isn't that cheap, at $30, but it is much better than the supplied applications. I was introduced to it because I found that deleting on the Vox also deletes on my IMAP server even when it shouldn't!
Hope this helps!
Select Text Messages or an e-mail account. Go to Menu->Tools->Options->Display and Check Show date and time in the message list
The option _is_ there.
Open an SMS message and press on the UP button.
I was talking about "Received by the recipient", actually the delivered timestamp.
Meaning:
I send a message, I have the delivered notification. Ok. Now I would like being able to open the Sent message and see on it when the recipient has received it or still pending delivery. I can do it checking everytime if I have a Delivered note but would be better having everything at the same place.
Ka.
what about call history, any ideas?
activate the delivery report.
When you recieve it, open it and go up with with you jojstick to se the time. the sent time of the report is the recieving time of the sms at the reciepent.
After searching google and the local forum search I've seen no other instances of this. My apologies if it's been discussed. I'm running Android 2.3.1 with kernel 2.6.35.7-g7f1638a. I'm using the default EMail app to access a private email server. So the inbox loads the 25 most recent messages. So far so good. But when I delete some it then redownloads the older messages and reflags them as new. I'm constantly being told I have new emails because it's flagging old ones as new after it reloads them. I have not seen any option to change the number of emails it loads or anything else that might work around this. Has anyone else noticed similar behavior?

Could be an email server end problem. Should be set to mark messages retrieved by pop as read. It sounds like it's not, so every time your phone asks for new messages, the server serves them up again.
There might be an advanced setting on the email app's preferences or setup that can address this...look for something about leaving messages on server unread or similar.
I'm not currently using anything but gmail app, so can't double check on my own phone to give you clearer advice.
I'm having a couple problems with the email program. First of all the counter (in the folder selection box) that shows how many unread messages I have shows -1 (minus one) instead of 0 when I have no unread messages. It's no big deal but it's a bit annoying. The second problem is that when I get a new message notification and I go check my emails there are no new messages but one or two old messages will briefly appear in the message list for a few seconds then vanish. It gets annoying because it happens each time the program checks my MSN account for new messages. The fix so far is to go into my MSN account via Chrome and delete the offending messages.
Any ideas?

Not sure if it's related but counter problem started after installing NOVA launcher. Notification problem started a month after NOVA.

Not sure if I follow this, is this to replace my Gmail app? Or run alongside it?
And if it is to run alongside it does that mean I will have two apps draining the battery receiving emails rather than one?
great app so far, ive been dying for this very feature.
some comments:
1. if i delete the email that is the only notification, the popup should close.
2. often i cannot delete an email (a toast message tells me so)
3. often my notification tone does not play
other than these 3 annoyances, right now im very happy. keep updating!

4. not getting the popup notification... last lines of the diagnostic log are in the screenshot
manually slecting 'check now' sure woke it up!
How about customization of the buttons? Rather than close, Archive, Delete, Reply might be better?
Looks like a great app, just what I was looking for.
Can you add the option to use the built-in Android accounts, or something like OAuth? Nothing personal, but I'd rather not provide my password to a new app.
Interesting app!
Can you add custom IMAP port support?
Looks nice. Any chance you could add an option to import accounts from K9?
wahoooo.
looks awesome
When clicking the reply button, I get to the account overview of K9 mail where i have to select the account and the open the mail, I wanted to reply to. Any way to fix this?
