Any emails deleted off Gmail server WILL disappear off your phone. Your phone is only a client to the server and reflects what is there. You would have to create a new 'folder' in Inbox such as 'Saved' on your WM device and copy them there (before you delete on the server) to save them.

would it be possible to save them into outlook on the phone? i tired to do that before, but i didn't see were you could move it from gmail to outlook unless you did it via active sync, but that means i'd have to be at a computer everytime. Or is there another program were i dont have to move an email everytime so it doesn't get deleted?

No, the mail client on WM devices is a very basic cut-down version compared to a PC, you can only move files within each service, not to and from services. There may be 3rd party app's out that do this.
Soz.
well i wont be able to create a new folder with gmail, because it doesn't allow you to, you can only create what's called "labels" so it looks like i may have to find a program that will allow me to keep the emails on my phone while i can delete them off the sever, any suggestions? preferably something free and easy to use. Or is there a way to use the outlook provided to receive the emails and keep them even if i delete them off the server similar to how desktop outlook works, w/o having to use active sync?

I don't personally as I prefer to use pop accounts that I have more control over. I am sure someone else on here will be able to help you with that.
One last thought, do you have another email account with Gmail (not used it myself but some of these give you more than one logon) or even set up another Gmail account called <username>backup and have your mail forwarded by your first to your second (via Gmail online settings) and then set the second up on your WM device also. When you delete from the first, the second will remain!
Just a thought!
I seem to have a problem when restoring email information into the diamond using sprite backup.
This has happened a few times, not sure if its because I'm changing between ROMs.
Anyway, what is happening is that everytime I restore, both my email accounts show in TF3D, but when I try to open the inbox it won't load through WM.
When I go into accounts it does not show the email account also (ISP email account).
The two email accounts I have is hotmail and with my ISP, hotmail one works fine, but the ISP does not.
Any ideas on how to delete the accounts from TF3D??
I have the exact same problem! Everything is still there, every single mail, but the account for my gmail is gone! Can anybody help?
Same problem
Same here. I used Sprite Backup to backup the data on my old TyTN then tried to restore it on the Raphael. On the Mail tab of the TouchFlow the email account is listed (it appears as "PDA - Email" - just as it was named on the TyTN) - but I can not open any message and I can not delete the account either - because it is not listed under "accounts".
SMS messages were restored ok - but the MMS and mail accounts all have the above problem. Any ideas?

I uninstalled sprint picture mail (wasn't cooked into my rom) but the account still exists in the email tab of T3D. I couldn't find where tflo stores these settings. Any ideas?
Is this email account set to sync in ActiveSync (mobile device manager)? If it is, remove the check mark next to it on your computer, and re-sync. I don't know anything about sprint picture mail, but that's the solution to this problem with regular exchange/pop3 email accounts.

Thanks for the reply , but I do not have outlook installed so I never active sync. I just noticed I posted in the wrong forum. Sorry
I too have the same problem. not just tf3d either it does it on my kaiser using manilla 2d too. If I use sprite backup and than restore I have 2 gmail accounts and 2 yahoo accounts it even prompts me when im setting up my account that the "account name has already been taken" so it must be saving this information somewhere I looked through the registry to no avail maybe herg or someone knows the answer.
Sktools removed it ! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412035
I've looked around a lot but I can't find this specific issue mentioned.
My Diamond currently syncs well with my outlook, which receives emails from a few accounts and aggregates them in one inbox. This is good because I'm able to take them with me anywhere.
What I want is for the Diamond to also be able to download mail from my gmail account - which it does without a hitch - but this means I won't get that email in my desktop inbox. When connecting the device and starting activesync, it will pull new messages from my desktop index, but instead of moving the gmail stuff to the desktop, it just deletes all messages completely and there's no trace of them anywhere.
Is there a way to attach an account to the "outlook inbox" so that the gmail mails I download are added to it instead of to a new account? If not, is there any way to synchronize that new account to my desktop inbox instead?
This sounds very trivial, but I can't get it to work.
I am using Dutty's latest ROM (3.6b).
Email settings...
Have a look in your email settings on your device for your gmail account. At the bottom of one of the pages you'll see underlined 'Advanced Settings'. Tap on this and change the setting to 'Leave on server'. This way, you can receive it on your device, but when you check your mail back at your desktop, it will be there too.
Look under Send/Receive Settings?
That's the option currently set, and it does indeed leave the messages on gmail, but they are not automatically downloaded to my desktop if they were already downloaded to the Diamond.
I don't understand why it doesn't synchronize them with outlook on my computer...
Oh?

I'm sure why that is then. I use Tiscali email, and that downloads to my desktop whether I've already viewed them on my device or not. Perhaps someone else who uses gmail can help you... strange
in gmail, even if u leave the emails in the server, they wont be downloaded more than once. i know that, i am using a gmail account with my office pc as well as my home pc. and if i download an email from gmail using one of the two pc's, i cant download it again using the other pc, unless i go into the gmail server and "refresh" all emails making them as new. Same of course applies if you use a win mobile system.
Solution? yep and pretty simple. Have a new account in an exchange server, which can sync with your diamond. Have all your emails forwarded to this account. My diamond syncs only with my push-emailing exchange server, whilst all other accounts of mine are set in order to forward copies to the exchange server.
dunno if i made myself sufficiently clear... ?
How do I uhh.. set up an exchange server?
Is it seriously impossible to synch email I receive on the phone with desktop outlook? This is stupid. :/ One of the reasons I got the phone was that I could get emails everywhere, but it's useless if not only it doesn't synch it with the computer, but it deletes these mails automatically.....

i opened an account in a microsoft exchange server, to which i forward all my emails from other accounts. Also all my contacts and to-do list are in this exchange server, and are sync together with outlook in my other two computers (+diamond). I do so not just for sync but also because this is the best way for getting push-emailing... meaning my diamond gets the email right in the moment i receive it.
btw u can get a free email account in the following exchange server: http://live.mail2web.com/
Do you have imap enabled or just pop3? If you let the phone automatically setup your email then it will automatically chose pop3. Don't enter your email adress when configuring your gmail because it automatically sets up everything. Just enter something like [email protected] and it should give you the option to choose imap.
And make sure your computer also uses imap.
Hi,
I'm looking for a good email app for my Nexus 6. I basically only use a personal outlook/hotmail account. I want to sync emails manually only, not push nor auto sync after a few minutes. With the gmail app, when I delete an email in my outlook IMAP account, it comes back and i have to delete it again. it annoys me. I've tried removing and re-adding my account as well. So Gmail is a no go unless this problem is fixed. I've tried many apps from the Play store including aquamail, cloudmagic, K9-mail, bluemail, WeMail, Air Mail-email, Solmail, Outlook app and Email Typemail mail. I'm not satisfied with any of these apps because either 1. no manual sync option (only push) 2. interface isn't that nice, 3. takes too much time to load emails. I've tried Nine which is perfect for me, but I'm looking for a free app. Currently, I'm using Boxer but still not totally satisfied as it takes time to refresh my emails. Any suggestions of free third party apps will be appreciated or maybe testes stock email apps of other phones?
Thanks!
You've mentioned that you have to delete the email twice. I'm assuming you're deleting the email in GMail, then having to enter your Outlook account and delete it there, if I'm understanding you correctly. If that is the case, then the problem is with your email setup. IMAP by design leaves messages on the server, since with IMAP only a copy is downloaded to a client, with the original remaining on the server. Since Outlook is your server, you have to access Outlook to permanently delete the message. If that behavior is not what you want, check in the settings for your Outlook account and see if you can send messages using POP3 instead of IMAP.
If you can make the switch to POP, the GMail app should then function as you expect it to, deleting the messages off both server and client.

k9mail is best option.
And I suspect that complaint of "only push" is targeting k9mail (since the rest of your complaints definitely don't apply), so I will say that you CAN set it to be exclusively manual. Its in Account Settings --> Fetching Mail --> Push folders, set it to "none". Also so it NEVER checks unless you tell it to, set Poll folders also to "none".
Edit: This should give you a hint;
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159420
Seems that MS does NOT implement the "Trash" directory in their IMAP structure. That means that any attempt to delete a message via an IMAP client will perform the deletion locally, then issue a MOVE command to move the message from INBOX to Trash on the server, and since the "Trash" directory doesn't exist, the MOVE fails on the server and the message remains in the INBOX.
Solution: in k9mail account settings --> folders, scroll down to "Trash folder", and select "Deleted Items".

Actually, I meant deleting it twice from the Gmail app. So for instance, I get an email and delete it in Gmail by swiping. After several seconds, I'll get a notification or receiving that same email. And then I have to delete it again in the Gmail app.
Even so, IMAP could very easily cause this, for the reasons stated. But thanks for the clarification.

No. IMAP *can't* cause this unless there is either a protocol failure OR a configuration error.
How do you resolve the OP's problem then?

I've actually setup my account with exchange activesync on the Gmail app. Entered the manual settings for setting up the Exchange account and now the Gmail app seems okay. Although, it's sending emails only from my outlook alias and not the orignal email ID, but that's not an issue at the moment.
