Hi all,
I've just got a Orange Touch Diamond. I've set it up to connect to my pop3 server but when I click send / receive it claims there are no messages to download from the pop3 mailbox, but there are some in there.
I've checked the settings and it's set to download all...
Any ideas?
Hey - just to update this - I resolved it...
I managed to put the incorrect username in the use name field of the account. The user account was still valid (hence no errors) but looked at the wrong mailbox.
Doh!

I'm sure most people have already seen this, http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/...ly-your-mobile-email-client-and-gmail-fall-i/
I configured this per directions on the Gmail site and now have it listed as one of my email accounts. I can even send messages, but can not yet receive. Also, it hangs on the "Looking For Changes" screen and never says "finished" as my other email accounts do. I am wondering if anyone else has tried to configure yet, and if anyone is having luck?
Works ok for me on an HTC Touch. Have you enabled IMAP in Gmail? It's under settings >> Forwarding and POP/IMAP. If you don't see IMAP, it's not been setup for your account yet by Google.

I answered my own question, helps if you just show a little patience, never been my strong suit! For anyone else as impatient as me, a few tips. Make sure you manually configure your email settings. If not, it will not pick up the incoming server as an IMAP server. So, long story short simply follow the below instructions and voila, you will be up and running in no time.
Configuring other mail clients
You can use the following information to configure IMAP with many mail clients. If you encounter difficulties, we suggest contacting your mail client's customer support department for further instructions -- we're unable to provide assistance with configuring mail clients not listed here.
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - requires SSL: imap.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 993
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587
Account Name: your Gmail username (including @gmail.com)
Email Address: your full Gmail email address ([email protected])
Password: your Gmail password
I noticed that some of my emails aren't fully downloading in IMAP mode. I switch it back to POP and the same email comes up completely. In IMAP mode, the body of the email is blank. Any ideas?
It sounds like you are only downloading the headers. Depending on which mail client you are using, you need to change the settings to download both the header and body of each message, or you can download them as you view them (usually by right-clicking a message and selecting "download").
Not working for me... Guess they havent updated my account to work with the the new IMAP servers!
In Progress
I have 2 accounts. 1 is updated to include IMAP, The other isn't.
Keep in mind if not already mentioned, Language selected in settings must be English (US).

Nope. Made sure the selection was to download the entire email and the entire attachment. Which brings me to another topic. Even when in POP3 mode with those selections made, I still have to manually download the email and attachments.
But, no, still unable to see the emails. It's funny though because it indicates that the entire file was downloaded.
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
When trying to set up my Diamond to download my mail from btinternet.com, it uses the wizard to find the account type etc. However it set's it up as an IMAP4 account type which it is not, it is a pop3 account. According to the help on the phone there is supposed to be a check box saying "Attempt to obtain e-mail settings from the internet" which if unchecked would mean these settings could be inputted manually, this is not the case. This results in a synch error when sending and receiving. It is not possible to change the account type when I go into email setup, it's greyed out!
I am using tlr-diamond-2.08.07.01 rom and have advanced config installed.
Sorry for rambling on, my question is, is there any way of turning off the wizard via a registry fix or any way to give the phone the correct settings for btinternet?
Thanks in advance for any replies, I've tried searching but to no avail
This drove me mad too.....
When it asks for your email address, type something like [email protected]
It then bring up the checkbox, disable the auto get setting
complete the setup and then edit it
POP3 mail.btinternet.com
SMTP mail.btinternet.com
dont forget to change your username, password and email address
Fixed (or fudged)

Thankyou Rik
Cheers you're a diamond
That was driving me crazy.
Thankyou

smtp has stopped working on Internet Mail
I have configured Internet Mail (POP3 and SMTP), but suddenly the sending has stopped after working perfectly for two days.
I have reconfigured another account with the same settings, deleted the old email account, and it worked for a day and then the same problem arose. Has anyone else faced this problem? Can anyone figure what's happening?
Thanks in anticipation,
Ajit
Im trying to set up my pop3 email account on my new touch diamond, all the settings I am entering are correct (as I have it running exactly the same on my outlook on pc) however it keeps coming up with..
'messages cannot be downloaded to your mobile. Make sure that you are connected and your email account settings are correct' Then try again'
would this be anything to do with the my 02 account? any ideas?
thanks
i had set up a hotmail acc using the below method.
Just config it manually.
First, create an account with some unknown email address such as [email protected] (we will change back later) then edit account settings and use these parameters.
Incoming mail server : pop3.live.com
User name: Your FULL email address ex. [email protected]
Outgoing (SMTP) mail server : smtp.live.com
Check those 2 boxes. (require authentication & same username)
Click Advance server settings. Check another 2 boxes.
Done.
it works well in notifying mi once i receive a new email with syncing every 5 minutes. but the thing is i cant send any email out and i cant manually sync by clicking "send/receive"
any solution?

But why you start to configure this with unknown email?
Don't get it.
Maybe you have some settings wrong...
I have the same problem, worked fine last week.
Setting up with a non hotmail address allows you to put in the live.com pop3 and smtp settings.

He's just using that as an example! lol
resent problems with MS hotmail servers i think as i've spoken to a number of people that have intermidant issues.
Since your setting it up manually, have you tried using the mobile email server of your Mobile provider? or even a googlemail smtp as the sending server?
as you can imagin you don't have to use the same service smtp server as your pop3 incomming server

so what do u mean by i do not need to use the same service smtp server as your pop3 incomming server?
i used this method is becoz i tried using the Windows Live application but i cannot activate push mail for it, like to sync once i receive email or what, as i need to manually Send/Receive to update my mailbox for new mails.
so i searched the forum for solution and found this method (using a fake address initially den changed it back). its push mail works fine with sync every 5 mins. im able to receive email automatically.
initially when i set up email with this method, i tested the incoming and also sending emails it works perfect. but now don't know what happen suddenly when i want to send email i can't. it has error out of sudden.
any solution? or any recommendation on other outgoing server can i use? btw i'm using hotmail acc so can any1 recommend a server that works with my hotmail acc with POP3.live.com incoming server?
thanks alot
greatly appreciate if anybody can give any help.
wats the point to have push mail if i cannot reply
thanks
