In the email app, each account has a setting for how much email to sync. For example, one week, one month, and all.
Assuming a non POP3 account, what is the difference between the specified options? I thought it was a cutoff, e.g. you'll only see 1 weeks worth of emails. Yet while my email account is only syncing one week's worth of emails, I can see emails from a year ago up to now without issues.
This makes me think that while it has a cutoff, for older emails only email headers are pulled and the content and attachments aren't downloaded.
Could someone please shed some light on the behavior of the email app?

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...

HI everyone,
I've searched a bit and see other people have the same problem with other Moto phones but I haven't found any solutions yet.
Using the stock email program I have 3 email accounts setup. It seems that when I have Yahoo mail setup I start getting multiple copies of the same email (sometimes 7-10 copies of the same email). Essentially like the mail app poles and thinks that an email that has been downloaded already is new. This happens with all 3 accounts (very annoying).
Worse though is that when sending email with my Yahoo account it is sending multiple copies of the email. Testing it out I got as high as 4 emails sent.
This is only happening with the stock email program when I choose Yahoo as one of the account types. I haven't seen it happen if I setup Yahoo manually and as a generic IMAP email account.
The reason I don't want to setup Yahoo in the generic way is that I use my Yahoo contacts.
So, anyone else out there have this issue or does anyone know of away to solve it? I'm guessing it is an Android/Stock email app and Yahoo compatibility issue and I won't have many options but I thought I'd ask.
Thanks
John
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...
I have read through various syncing issues, but can't find anything quite like what I'm experiencing. Also, I'm not even sure where the problem lies, whether it's IMAP configurations or a Gmail issue or an app issue. Hopefully someone can help solve my problem or guide me in a direction.
I have 2 accounts within Outlook 2007 - work email through Microsoft Exchange and a Gmail IMAP account. I have a rule set where email sent to the work account will also be copied to the Inbox of the IMAP account. On my phone (Galaxy S3) I have two Google/Gmail accounts set up - personal email (let's call it G-X) and the one that gets a copy of my work email (let's call it G-Y).
Up until a few days ago I had no problems with receiving emails and notifications but now if an email is sent directly to G-Y, I am notified through the Gmail app on the phone that I have new mail. If an email is sent to the work account, where it gets copied to the Gmail IMAP in Outlook, there is no notification, even though the message is displayed as unread/new both in Outlook and gmail.com.
I haven not installed any new apps or changed any settings on the phone recently. The only peculiar thing that happened was that there was an Exchange Server issue at work that has since been resolved. This makes me think the issue might be related to Outlook or the way the email gets copied to the IMAP account, but none of the Exchange/Outlook people I have talked to are familiar with this sort of behavior.
Can anyone shed light on this? I just want to be able to get notified when new work email comes to (gets copied to) the Gmail account set up for it.
Email app.
Sync schedule: Auto
Period to sync Email: All
Most of the emails seem to be synced, but some aren't showing up (some are as recent as 2 days ago). I can search for them on the server and find them. I can open Outlook on my computer and see the in the Inbox. But they aren't showing up in the Email app Inbox. I can't see any reason these few emails are different from the rest that do sync successfully. Any idea why some emails are not showing up in the Email Inbox?
Hi, I have an S6 internation version from couple of days and I am facing exactly the same issue. Did you find a solution? I am getting crazy on this
