Hi all,
Little question here. My Kaiser connects to the internet trough wifi (will soon be able to connect through 3G) which works fine. I set up some settings to auto-check for new mail. I get gmail over pop3 and it nicely gives me a notification for new mail, it plays a sound and everything. However when my Windows Live mail (hotmail) synchronizes and it gets new mail it doesn't notify or play a sound in any way. In HTC Home the number does change to 1new mail but I'd like to be notified with a sound or message. I haven't found any settings that work yet in either the Live mail program or the phone itself.
I tried to let my hotmail mail send to my gmail account but hotmail won't do that unless the adress is @msn or @live @hotmail, so that workaround isn't working.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to get this notification running.

Hi everyone,
i have the following problem: when i get my mail via pop3 from googlemail i also receive the send messages which are stored in google in my inbox.
The support from T-Mobile said they know the problem and the know it has to do with the setting, but they can't tell me which the setting is.
Can somebody help me please.
Gmail is currently adding IMAP to all users. log in and check your gmail settings to see if you gmail acct has it added yet. if it does, try using imap instead on your kaiser.
I actually have IMAP setup through gmail on my Wizard. I recieve the message headers but the bodies of the mail are blank. Not sure if I have something set wrong but AFAIK my phone is told to download the full message, no size limitations.
Change your account settings on the Kaiser. It's set to pull headers only and you can tweak that considerably. I'm getting all the text, but leaving attachments there.
You arent alone, buddy.

I have no problems with my Gmail account when I access my mail using the POP settings. When I try to access my email using the IMAP settings I have the same problem with the body of my messages coming up blank. I guess the IMAP server is so new, they are having problems showing threaded messages...
Yep, same issue for me as well.
its a common issue for all users of pop...it has something to do with their chat-style interface, even in pop.
i stopped using it because the sent messages get so annoying to delete. i just make gmai.com my home page now
I have my mail set up through pop3 to connect to gmail and all works fine, except that once I send an email I then receive a copy of the email I just sent. Any ideas?
It doesn't really cause any real functional issues other than just being really annoying.

It sounds to me like you have gmail configured to save sent emails in a sent folder and you have POP configured to download that folder as well.
I think those are settings you probably need to tweak in your Gmail pop settings on the web and not in the messaging client on the device.
interesting, I looked within gmail's settings and did not find anything to do with copies of sent items. is there a way to configure this within wm outlook?
is imap a better interface? does it work with wm outlook?
Thanks
Gmail:
Forwarding and POP/IMAP
1. Status: POP is enabled for all mail that has arrived since 7:49 am
Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)
Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on
Disable POP
2. When messages are accessed with POP >> keep in inbox
3. Configure your email client (e.g. Outlook, Eudora, Netscape Mail)
Configuration instructions
My understanding is this is a 'side effect' (i.e. nothing you can fix) of how gmail handles E-mails...
Any time you send an e-mail from your device you will receive a copy of it on your phone (when using gmail)..
My understanding is this is limited to gmail only....
That said, I only check my 2 gmail accounts from my phone, and never reply on the phone, so doesn't bother me too much ;-)
Had the same issue. Solved the problem by switching to IMAP protocol. Now everything works flawlessly
And by the way, this relates to Gmail only, other mailboxes work fine

that's odd, I switched to imap last night and tried it out with the same results. I'll check my settings again to verify the changes took effect.
otherwise, it looks like I may be stuck for now. not a big deal, though. thanks for the info guys.
Mine does the same thing from the phone. If I send through my outlook account with my gmail I don't get a copy of the message.
Hi All,
Have tried to search arround but cant seem to find anything (my apologies if I have missed something obvious - so if anyone does have a link to a thread, ill more than happy to read through it rather than someone re-writing the answer!)
Is it possible to have a sound notification if there are any new hotmail messages. I understand this maybe difficult or not possible as its not physically receiving a message, more sync'ing with hotmail and showing the unread items.
Any help or guidance will be much appreciated!
Regards,
Craig
Any answer to this one yet...wondering the same thing.

This should work by simply assigning an audio file under "new mail notification" in the sounds setting. I get my hotmail account pushed instantly as the mail comes and the sound does alert me of it.
I thought it was that easy....but in the "sounds and notifications" settings I have choosen a sound file, display notification, and illumination for new email notifications and still get nothing for Hotmail or Comcast new emails. I do however get sound/display/illumination for new mail from my Outlook account which is why it seemed odd to me. I have only had the phone for a couple weeks and thought that it giving me notifications before I upgraded to the latest R2A rom X1A american version...
Bigfeat - Thanks for your help, like zeffX1A, I have assigned a sound in the options, this works when I receive email via my POP and IMAP accounts but when Hotmail Syncs, I dont get any notifications at all (sound, Illumination, Vibration etc)
I really would like to see a solution for this.
As far as I know, you do get a notification when you select the syncing option as "when they arrive" aka push. But for me push hotmail is not working at all. (Messenger on home computer signed in, but not as online or on the phone) Sometimes it does work, but more often it refuses to do so.
Is there maybe different software that gives notification on new hotmail mail when you check periodically?
hi i seriously need a solution to this too.
i selected sync frequency to As Items Arrive, under the Sound and Notification settings, i also assigned a tone for new email msg, but i still dun get a notification whenever i have a new email, its not notifying mi at all, not even a display of new mails on the Today screen.
i need push setting for my hotmail account. can any1 help how to set it to notify me whenever there is new mail?
appreciate ur help
found any solution for it?
Same problem: No alert notification on new Hotmail message
Hello!
I have the same problem described above (more or less)
I can ear the sound that I've assigned to new emails when I receive a new GMAIL message (I have it configured to query server each 60 minutes for new mail), this works perfectly.
But it is not the same with HOTMAIL messages , I don't understand why is this way! (I have configured HOTMAIL to read mail each 60 minutes too)
Ok, the reading and downloading methods for GMAIL and HOTMAIL are different, as second it's done by the Windows Live Application, but in both cases the messages ends in its inboxes in HD2, so... why the GMAIL alert sounds, and HOTMAIL not?
What can we do? T_T
Regards!
you can get hotmail sound and vibrate notification if you setup your hotmail at Windows Live app. It works for me
Solved for me
Hello everyone,
It's weird but now, suddenly, it works!... without doing anything special
It is possible, too, to work sometimes and sometimes not (sometimes you can hear the sound notification in hotmail and sometimes only receive mail without this sound alert)... but I'm not sure of this.
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
I am using cammster.com as one of my security applications at home. it sends me an email when it detects motion. However, I cannnot seem to find a friendly app that will send am email immediately to my Sprint Hero.
What free email program and app can I use that will send me an email when cammster sends it out, and notify me right away.
I have tried a google account (gmail), but it seems to want to check for emails at predefined intervals when using the main email client (that I also use for a work (exchange) email address).
I tried a yahoo (ymail) app and email addy, but it would conflict with my work email and stop the program from receiving the work or the ymail mail.
I quickly tried K9 app, but couldn't figure out how to use it with the yahoo mail to notify me immediately of the new email
Any suggestions?!?!?
The gmail client does push notifications. You should use the gmail client not the mail client for a google account (gmail).

Are you on a Rom? Or are you on the stock sense rom? I am curious because sense is a bit more friendly with accounts and sync.. in the settings menu, there is actually a section called "Accounts & Sync". In there, you can enable background data and auto-sync. It will probably not be instantaneous, but honestly, your battery would die immediately if your phone was constantly checking your email. I suggest WildHeroc as it is currently the bomb digity. Have a good night.
