So I used the stock email to do all my business emails, and it was fine. Not great but worked well enough. Recently it started to only sync about 1 week back, and wouldn't load any more than that. So I switched it over to Gmail to see if it would sync all the emails. It didn't help. I can still read all my emails on my computer but for some reason all the emails won't appear on my phone. My Gmail account still syncs all its emails to my phone, but my business (which isn't gmail) won't. Any help would be great. Thanks.

I found a solution for this, i was looking for this myself.
Switch back to your stock email app which is located in Samsung folder.
Add your email (mine is hotmail) after you done that, you will be redirected to your inbox, in the right corner there is a button called "more" then "settings" then you will see your email account name, press that. now look at the bottom, you will find "Period for synchronization of e-mail" and then press "all".
Well I gave that a shot, and while it loads emails, it will only load to March 10, which may mean I did something back on that day to not let it sync anything further past that day. Could it be on the email hosting side perhaps?
OK, for anyone who might take a gander at this in the future, I found out what was wrong. I had checked off the box that says delete from server after 14 days, in outlook on my computer. Kind of a bozo mover, but hopefully it might save someone in the future.

I've got gmail set up through pocket outlook, downloads manually when I send/receive. So I did that, had an email with an attachement, so chose the option for it to download the full attachement, send and receive again, then opened a different message, back to inbox, and the email with the attachement is gone!! I can still see it when I log on through explorer, it's just gone from the outlook inbox. Any ideas?

There's a setting to keep email for a specified period i.e 3 days. Suggest that you extend the period and your email should re-appear.
tried that, didn't work, the email was from this morning...
Anyway, decided to dump pop & go with imap, so much better, don't have all those annoying sent emails showing up in my inbox.

did you use a username like "[email protected]" or like "recent:[email protected]" ?
With the first one you will receive your mail only once. With the second once, you will receive your mail during 30 days.
The fact is that with gmail pop you don't have to care about the "keep message" option, but you have to care about the "recent:" prefix for you login name.
Hope it helps !
didn't type in recent, but as I mentioned switched to IMAP and it's working well so won't be using pop anymore
I was having the same problem with multiple web-based email systems, and found that while I was set up for POP3, the solution is to Get message headers only. Once I made that change on the phone, all the disappeared messages returned. I have no clue...
If you haven't seen it:
http://www.google.com/mobile/products/sync.html#p=default
I tried it by sending a test email to my email address but the email didn't get 'pushed'.
Edit: It seems to be working now!
Doesn't seem to be working for me either.
It seems others are having trouble too:

not working here either.
I got it working, its exrteamly spotty right now. The google servers are probably going crazy right now.
not workign for me...gonna try again in a couple weeks, when hopefully all the hoopla has died down a bit
Interesting. I set it up this morning and it's been working perfectly all day. Emails are coming in before they show up on Gmail's web application.
Working for me - only problem I've got is how to get the outlook mail account to appear on the email tab of touchflo 3d. Any ideas?
I set mine up yesterday and it was pretty crappy, but today it's working great. Looks like they fixed whatever was broken.
Yeah, working great for me today.
Works great for me, only syncing email with m.google.com, though. Everything else (contacts, calendar, notes, & files) still sync with Outlook on my desktop.
Push seems to be nearly instant - definitely just as fast as the browser based inbox on my desktop...
yes it's working today for me too!
Email was pushed right away!
I still can't get it it show more than 10 of my most recent messages in my inbox. I have it set to push all my mail, but it won't push it all. I do get new messages fine though. Is there a setting I'm missing? Am I supposed to check something else? Pleas help, thank you.

um is your gmail account set to IMAP?
On your phone, you can go into your outlook options and set it to download all emails in the past month.
No its not set up to IMAP, and I've already set it to download all my email, but it still doesn't push it all.
No push here either.
I'm having the same problem, I've got it set to download my inbox and starred going back forever (all messages rather than timeframe). There're only about 20 messages total, but it only downloads 3 in starred. (inbox is empty right now) In imap you can do tools>manage folders>folder settings and change it from there, but in activesync it seems the time frame setting is account-wide (huge bummer) or only adjustable for the inbox, and everything else is 3 days (also huge bummer).
Obviously I want all my starred messages, drafts and inbox items, but do I really want the full history of my sent items folder? Why can these not be set seperately, is this a limitation of activesync or google? Right now, best it seems to do is last three days of messages, regardless of settings.
I'm gonna go check out google's forums/help pages/whatever.
its working
I already had my contact and calendar sync set so all i had to do is tick the email in sync options and it worked great! no more IMAP

not sure if you know this or not, but in activesync settings you can choose how far back you want to download as well as which folders to download/sync. it's not in the messaging options, but in activesync.
ALSO, anyone noticing higher battery drain versus using another client ie SEVEN for push email? My battery usually lasts a little more than a full day, but it died in 14 or so hours today. I set up gmail to sync mail and calendar.
What is your opinion; I currently pay for Yahoo premium and have only POP. Do you think gmail is worth the trouble of converting email addresses for the free bonuses gmail has?
I am new to Android. Have been a longtime WindowsMobile user. The Captivate has a menu to synchronize with exchange including mail, contacts and calenders. I got mail to work, but contacts and calender do not synch. I would assume it is officially supported since it is in the menu. Has anybody else got it to work, meaning can you pull contacts and calender from your exchange account down to your phone?
Yes, mine works fine. Is auto synch off under menu/synch?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Mine is working fine too. I went in and disabled the Contact synchronization and it looked like everything (mail, calendar, contacts) is all enabled by default. I think I remember seeing the settings when I initially set it up too. Go into your calendar and then into the settings and make sure it is displaying your exchange calendar. Same thing with the contacts.
Mine works great. In fact a little tooooo good. I have it syncing with my Google contacts and my exchange contacts. . .
One note. The client on the Captivate is not a full exchange client. That's apparently an Android V2.2 feature. That means there are some features that worked on my BB and my Nokia E72 that don't work on the Captivate. The most notable, and irratating is any http link embedded into an appointment note is treated as straight text. So if you have an airlines check in appointment, or link to a map - you can't just click on it and have a browser take you to the link. . . .or at least I haven't figure out how to make that work yet.
ok. The whole Activesync exchange seems very screwy on Android. I deleted exchange account and re-added it. Now, I can see and synch all my contacts, but I only get some of my calender items. I downloaded TouchDown, and via Touchdown I can sync my email but I do not see contacts or calender. I am pretty techsavvy, so this just baffles me.
Is it possible to look up a name against the GAL/company address book with the stock android client when composing an email message?
I have been able to "Lookup" emails through the GAL. Simply type a name in the To Field, hit search. You are taken to a new screen where you can do a lookup. One note though. I have not seen FULL integration with the GAL. For instance, our company has Email, Direct Dial, Fax, Cell, Address all entered in the AD. This makes it easy to look up phone numbers. Cant seem to get that to work in the phone search
having issues sending appointments from phone
I'm using Exchange and stock email client. I've tried to send meetings to people in my GAL, but they never receive the invite. Anyone else having the issue?\
This is a known issue with the captivate. Hopefully there is a fix on the way. It was supposed to work seemlessly out of the box, but there are some problems.
Hello all, just upgraded to Froyo and overall am happy with the upgrade. However I now notice I am unable to delete items from my IMAP Email Account via the Stock Email App. I have recreated the Email Account but when I try to delete any emails, it seems like its trying to move the item to the local "Trash" folder but fails. The email remains in the Inbox.
Anyone else have this problem, or can provide any solutions? I have tried K9 Mail but does not work well with my Exchange setup. I would like to retain the stock email app.
Thanks in advance.

I am not sure about 2.2 and exchange but I know that they updated the exchange email in 2.2.1 as there were issues in 2.2. One of the reasons I cant go back to 2.2 my exchange account has never worked as well as it does in 2.2.1
Exchange works perfect for me. Glad to have GAL Lookup, even though its not real-time typing lookup, but I'll take it.
My ongoing issues are with my IMAP account. On top of the not deleting, it does not poll every 15 minutes, as I've set it up to do. My mail provider lets me check login attempts and active sessions, and I can easily go 6-8 hours without seeing signs from the Captivate. The app is seriously broken.
K9 doesn't work at all with my Exchange 2010 setup, on top of the delays, I am nagged by a wrong timezone timestamp on all emails. Touchdown seems like an option, but I'd hate to pay $20 for functions that should be delivered for free.
I have also noticed this problem; just updated today. However, how have you determined that the folder move is the problem?
T
I can successfully move the item among any of the folders on the IMAP server.
However, when I choose delete, it does nothing. I believe it has to do with the local Trash folder because when I recreated the account, the trash folder was not there. After deleting the first email, the Trash folder is created, but nothing is ever moved there.
Imap fails to delete
I can't believe this hasn't gotten more people up in arms. I have been able to find very little about this and no solution at all.
It was great the PPTP VPN starting working correctly after the update but to have the basic email client fails this badly is absurd.
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...
