IMAP subfolders in TFlo3D

Hi there,
I received my Diamond yesterday and configured it completely. I also made the settings for my IMAP mail account. Now I set that it should automatically check emails every 30 minutes. The problem is I have a lot of subfolders on my IMAP account. It seems that touchflo3d only notices new mails in the INBOX folder. I understand that it can only display mails from one folder in the envelope but I at least want to get a notification (on the touchflo3d mail icon on the bottom) when a new email arrived in one of the subfolders.
Anyone noticed that behaviour? Btw. I using standard IMAP no push or something

Just click on the down-arrow next to the "Inbox" label on the top-left, and you should see a list of all the IMAP folders.

true...but I meant the little green number appearing in TFLO3D when you got a new unread emails. It currently shows only when a new mail is in INBOX but not in a subfolder
But I also noticed that sometimes Outlook doesn't show new emails even in the foldertree until I open the subfolder then the new email is shown. Seems like I have to investigate that further.

Bad IMAP support.
You will see, your IMAP folders are empty (at least with google imap it is).
Google makes all mails appear in Inbox too, so I see them unsorted on my device, but in Gmail everything is ok.

Outlook Mail

Hello everyone.
So here's a little problem I've been having the past couple of days...
I'm using MS Outlook 2007, which I have set to retrieve my emails on hotmail through POP3 (for some issues that I've managed to fix by doing that, I hate Outlook connector ...) I've also programmed it to delete emails from server when I download them on my computer
So far, everything works great, as expected.
Now, here's the deal.
By doing that, my email account (server-based) is empty, so on my Htc, I can't set up Windows Live to retrieve emails, because there's nothing to retrieve.
The only way I can get it to have my emails on my TD, is to set an ActiveSync connection to my pc and have it sync my emails. But when I'm on the go, I don't have them...
What can I do to have them?

set outlook 07 not to delete mail from server - common sense no ?

I wish someone would say that
Yeah it is common sense... The only thing is, that it keeps it on the server, no problem for that... But it doesn't mark it as read... So it keeps poping up in outlook, so I end up having 10 times the same email...

Get rid of hotmail and use a proper service like gmail with IMAP.

Ahah I've been dreaming to do that... But since a use like every product of microsoft (Xbox 360, Zune and so on) so I have to use a Hotmail account...

Windows Mobile 6.1 Hot Fix for Sending POP and IMAP E-mail
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en
Overview
This behavior is associated with a feature that was introduced in Windows Mobile 6.1. It provides a way for users to send e-mail through an alternate outbound e-mail server provided by their mobile operator in the event that the default outbound e-mail server becomes inaccessible.
The problem occurs if a mobile operator doesn't use this feature, and therefore doesn't supply a value for the alternate SMTP address. When the mobile device fails on any attempt to connect to the e-mail provider's default SMTP server, Windows Mobile 6.1 automatically loads the value for the alternate SMTP server—which in this case is blank. The e-mail account configuration details are then corrupted, which results in loss of the ability to send e-mail with that particular e-mail account.
With this fix, the feature is patched to ensure that Windows Mobile 6.1 takes appropriate action when it detects a blank value for the Alternate SMTP server.
Note: After you apply this hot fix to your mobile device, the messages that have been sitting in the Outbox folder of your affected POP and IMAP e-mail account(s) will be sent. Since these messages could be out of date, you might not want to send them now. You can keep these messages from being sent by navigating to the Outbox folder of these accounts, and then either delete them, or move them to another folder. On Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional devices, you can access account folders by tapping the folder drop-down located in the upper left portion of the message list. On Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard devices, you can access account folders by pressing the Menu soft key, and then selecting Folders.
download the cab file and store it in ur phone memory and run it.

So this will allow me to do what... ? Because clearly, I didn't understand your post...

Any help would be appreaciated.

the hotfix which i gave above acts as a substitute to ur outlook. with this hotfix i can send /recv mails from rediffmailpro which is my offical mail host.

[Q] E-mail Question (False notifications)

Basically, i'll get a notification saying I have new e-mail (number of new e-mails is random), so i'll slide down the notification bar, click the e-mail notification and it takes me to my inbox... where I have no new e-mails.
I've tried refreshing the inbox to see if it was seeing e-mails not in the inbox yet somehow, and that didn't do it. The only thing I can think of is that my gmail account has an [Imap]/Trash Folder now that has 36 unread messages, and those are the e-mails I deleted without reading (Spam mostly). Is that what's triggering it?
It seems to be the same number of e-mails I received recently, so I think it's sending duplicate notices. Example: I'll receive 4 emails, 2 from a friend of mine, one from a newsletter I read an another spam. I'll read 3, delete the 4th unread, close the mailbox and then 5 minutes later i'll get a notification saying I have between 1 and 4 new e-mails, whereupon i'll check my inbox and there's nothing there.
Anybody know what's going on? I'm using the default captivate mail app to check my e-mail, not the google e-mail app. The google one never gives me this issue. (two different gmail accounts linked to the two different apps so I know which one mail is coming from)

Mine does this too. It's not random though. Whenever I delete an email and it's sent to my trash folder I will receive a new email notification shortly after. If I delete 3 emails, I will receive a notification for 3 new emails the next time it syncs with the server.

So how do we stop it? Stop using the default e-mail app?
Are there other/better e-mail apps out there?

I had the same kind problems with mine, it was also slow sometimes while downloading messages.
The gmail app is good if your using gmail. If not I've had good luck with MailDroid. There are other email apps in the market you can try.

had same problem. this fixed it for me:
from home screen
settings buttong > select settings
Hit applications > manage applications
hit settings button > filter > select all
find "GMAIL" and "Gmail Storage"
For each one, click and do the "clear data" and "clear cache"
let me know if that helps

I figured out why this is happening. I recently went back to the native email app (because Yahoo! Mail for Android is brown poop, and MailDroid's ads can get annoying -- plus it's only push email...I don't like seeing I have 4 new emails, for example, and each time I tap on each item, it downloads just that email through the internet. I want my emails to be downloaded all at once, ready to be viewed. I digress...)
Anyway, the native email app shows you have X (false) new emails when you delete X number of emails because it downloads a number of (older) emails after it syncs, after you had deleted some new ones. In other words, you delete 3 newer emails, it downloads 3 older emails. Scroll down and you will see those 3 at the very bottom as "unread" even though they're old. Annoying.
Is there a way to fix this, perhaps tell the email app to not download emails older than 3 days, for example?

Here's a work around though. This is what I did. I use Yahoo! Mail* and I have thousands and thousands of emails in my Inbox. This might work for your corporate emails too.
1. Create a new folder on Yahoo! (or your corporate email client) called Inbox2 (or whatever).
2. Move all of the messages from the Inbox to that new folder.
3. Sync (Refresh) the email app on your device.
4. Your device will begin "move" the current emails away and will eventually show zero emails.
You'll be starting fresh. Each time you get a new email and you delete the email from your device, the app will have nothing to download and it won't show false notifications. If you decide to keep an email, it'll stay. When you get a new email that you decide to delete, still, the app won't have any older emails to download -and- it won't show any false notifications. It's a workaround. Hope this helps.
*I'd like to add. I've enabled POP3 on my Yahoo! Account and I'm using the native email app as pop 3. I have all of my emails downloaded as they come in. So when I'm in an elevator or in a poor 3G area, I have all of my emails (in its entirety) downloaded ready to be view without fetching for the rest of the messages.

I am using the email client for Exchange and POP3 and I don't have this problem, so maybe it is specific to something the server is doing. Gmail app works fine too for my Gmail account.

I tried what you suggested but unfortunately it doesn't work.
I think the problem of the false notifications occurs, cause the email client synchronises each folder (inbox, spam, trash etc.) separately. So when we get a new mail which goes to our inbox, we get a notification and then we go to our inbox and we find it there. When we delete an email, we move it from inbox to the trash folder. So the client synchronises the trash forder and sents a notification that we have a new mail. Then we go to our inbox but we see no mail, cause it's in the trash folder. The same occurs with spam. When we receive a spam mail, it is directly sent to the spam folder. So we get the notification of a new mail, but when we go to our inbox we find nothing.
That's the only way i can explain the false email notifications and i can't find a way to solve this annoying problem. If anyone can help would be much appreciated.

Happens to me too. Must be a bug. It only happens with IMAP and not Exchange mail. If you delete emails it will download older ones and do the notification.

HELP: Pop3 messages disappearing

Hello,
I’ve been using the phone for few days now and I’m having some problems with my e-mail. I have configured three e-mails accounts, 1 Gmail and two pop 3 mails.
The deal is that whenever I use the e-mail app I can check new e-mails, but I can’t see the old messages (the one I read before). Also, alter seeing the messages in the SGS the messages disappear from the phone AND from my e-mail server. I already checked the configuration and I have selected “Never” in the “Delete e-mail from the server” in the “Incoming server settings” of both accounts but it looks like as soon as the e-mail apps access my account it actually deletes the message from the server.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks

Do they disappear immediately?
Are you sure you don't check them elsewhere (standalone computer) where they ARE removed from the server?
Don't have that issue here, only once I check them on my home computer they are removed from the server and my phone.

I'm sure. I was traveling, and the only way to chck my e-mail was using the phone. When I got home I tried to download the messages in the outlook and no messages were downloaded. Than I tried to acess the messages using webmail and again I couldn't fine the messages. They just disappeared.

Tried again with the same results. I read the messages on the SGS and 10 seconds later the message disappears from the phone and from the server (I tried to read the messages using a Webmail page and there is no message in the inbox).
Looks like a Bug, but it's strange that I'm the only one that is experiencing this issue. I recall that I had a similar issue with my Archos, but I thought it was a problem with Android 1.6. It may be a issue with my e-mail account but it is just a simple pop 3 account. I see no reason why it would behave like that.

pop3 email vanishes
I am having the same type problem with my samsung vibrant.I set up a pop3 account using my cable account. I can send and receive mail but my mail vanishes from the inbox. It does stay on the server luckily. Nobody at tmobil or samsung has a solution except to use k9 but it happens on it also/ So they blame isp which makes no sense since it arrives. Very frustrating

HD7 lost all inbox mail after & during reading.

I have HD7 using Gmail, two POP3 mail account... I encoutered lost incoming mail in inbox (lost all inbox email account, except for Hotmail window live)
Symptom:

Some email with attach file cannot see the file attached, because it's not appear the Staple Icon (open this email same as email with no attach file).
Sometime lost email during reading its.
Sent item email still record all mail I has been sent before.
Anybody have same symptom? How to solve it? pls help
Thank you.

If you check your email elsewhere, have the mails actually been deleted from the server?
Only thing I can think is that you're on the 'unread' pane of emails. If so, swipe left to get to the 'all' pane.

My answer as below:
