Hello!
I have a Diamond on the Sprint network. I had set up my Yahoo email account on my phone to download only messages from the last 3 days and automatically check every 5 mins. I got this phone back in March or so and never had a problem with this, but starting last week, it's been randomly downloading my entire inbox of 16,000 messages which includes messages from as far back as 5 years. (There's unlimited storage space on Yahoo, so I don't delete old emails.)
Anyway, this slows down the phone immensely, as you might imagine. And it takes me a while to be able to clear my inbox on the phone because of its slowness. I've done this a few times and tried resetting my inbox settings, and also once deleted the account on my phone and re-set it up, but the same thing will ultimately happen-- when left alone for a while, the stupid thing will just download the whole inbox.
Like I said, for the last few months it was working just fine. I didn't change any settings on my phone. Anyone have any idea how to fix this??
For now my temp solution is to transfer my older messages on Yahoo to another folder so that my inbox is smaller; in that case, if the phone decides to be stupid again and ignore my "download only messages from the last 3 days" setting, it still won't be downloading 16,000 messages. But I shouldn't have to do this as the phone should be following my instructions, as it was for a while!
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

EDIT: My temporary fix (moving old emails to another folder) didn't even work! My phone still downloaded all the folders and all the messages. Help please!
<bump> still looking for a fix...

Hi everyone,
I have searched exhaustively on this forum and via google but cannot find a solution anywhere.
Certain emails that I send via Pocket Outlook are only partially being sent. (longer emails)
Its not an SMTP issue because I have tried 3 different SMTP servers and the same thing is happening.
What is very strange is that the entire messages shows up in the sent folder but when someone else receives it only a paragraph shows up. (I have also sent them to one of my emails to test and they are partially showing up). But what is even odder is that its not with all messages, some are being received fine.
I thought that it could be some kind of font issue but that didn't work.
If someone has any ideas I would be grateful as I use the phone for business and my customers are not receiving full emails so its a big problem for me. Also just to add I am pretty sure this just started happening recently and I haven't changed any settings either.
Thanks again for your replies.
For the first week I have owned the Tilt, Xpress mail seemed to work fine. It would push every bit of mail through. I had it set up for both Yahoo and Gmail. Over the course of the following week (up to date) I have made some minor modifications to the phone, and am not sure if they're responsible for the demise of my Xpress Mail service.
What I've done so far is to install Kaiser Tweak and am using almost every advised feature (Hiding SIM contacts never sticks though. after a reset it always goes back to default). I have also downloaded Comm Manager from here, because I was having bad 3G dropouts so this comes in very handy. Outside of those things, that's about it.
But for some reason, my Tilt has been displaying some very sketchy behavior, but the worst offender at the moment is the push mail not working. Even stranger though, is that when I sent myself an email from my Gmail account to test it, rather than the mail going into the yahoo folder, it went into the Gmail folder ?
At one point last night (it's vague, I was very tired) I had to reset the Yahoo password upon request of the program because it said that it needed to be updated. So I did that, and afterward, it seemed to work again. But now, as I'm testing by sending mail to myself, nothing is happening. Well, almost nothing.. .Something peculiar happens. When I send the mail off, I notice that the Tilt's screen gets brighter, as if an event is happening. This happens about 15-20 seconds after sending an email to the Yahoo account, and happens every time, so it's not a coincidence.
I'm still within my 30 day trial for the Tilt, and I'm getting frustrated with it, thinking about getting a (gasp) iPhone or perhaps a Treo 750 if it functions any better. I really want to like the Tilt but for one thing, I am not getting any HSPA service here in NYC (where I thought I would) and 3G is piss poor where it counts, so isn't even worth it. It's why I got an unlimited data plan, but now I'm thinking about canceling it.
I got the phone on the 8th and would like to sort this out before the 30 days is up. Can anyone please assist me with this ?
Thanks,

By the way, I'm running Win Mob 6.0 and the original ATT ROM that came with it last week.
CE 5.2.1622 (build 18128.0.4.4)
And, I'm not sure that this has anything to do with it but (or is useful info) when I open the Comm Manager, the Microsoft direct push button is greyed out and is not able to be toggled. I also have 3G set to off when I'm in my house. I've tried a soft boot, but that didn't do anything. I'm about to do a hard boot now.

Now the client is really bugging out. When I go to menu > tools> new account, all it does is go to the Yahoo Inbox (which is empty always). I can also access this menu through Options, then click on New Account but then nothing happens at all ? I just deleted my Yahoo account to see if I could create a new one from there, but nothing happens.
This is not boding well for the Tilt. I'd really appreciate some help. Things were just fine when I got it the first week. Is there a way to restore the phone to factory defaults and such ?

Also, when I hit "send/receive" it says error synchronizing very quickly on the bottom. And if I try it again, I get an error message "S7900: Another update operation is currently in progress"
I had the same problem, however so did my wife. We both have Kaisers and were emailing instead of chatting all the time. Our emails sudenly stopped updating automaticaly. Happened on both phones so I called the provider. Turns out there was an update that killed the push function from hotmail, gmail, and a couple others. ATT suggested I download the BB Connect until the error has been corrected. Been about 3 weeks now and no fix made.
I recently Flashed a new Radio on my AT&T Tilt/HTC Kaiser device with Stock AT&T/HTC Rom running Windows 6.1 Pro. Recently as in 3 days ago. I haven't sent one text message until I tried to this morning. I have on my Today screen: Date, Messaging and Calendar. I can click on the date field as well as the Calendar..but the Messaging Field was Bricked! Now I received a Text notification from Tmobile around 3:45AM after I paid my bill. So I know my Text Messages were working at that time. This morning around 10:00AM..is when I noticed that it was Bricked and I couldn't check it. I couldn't even access it from Xpress Mail..it would not allow me to..and for that matter..Xpress Mail with my Hotmail Email is not working. I went into the Windows Folder and clicked on Tmail.exe and it does nothing. I rebooted the phone...I even took the battery out...still nothing. I'm getting an error message when I try and re-register my Xmail S770 something like that or to that effect...can someone help me!!! I made a backup file 3 days ago but whenever I used Sprite to restore my phone it always leaves me with duo selections in my menu options to which I cannot uncheck any of them.
Also to piggy back on that
When I had stepped out the Doctors Office to see if that would make a difference..I immediately had an H in place of the E...the H then switched to 3G as I was still yet walking to my car..."Bowie, Maryland" I get to the car then it goes back to EDGE. I actually tried placing a call and getting on the Net when I noticed the H and 3G and I was denied.
Hey just wondering if anyone else is having any issues on receiving their emails to the phone? I keep pressing send/receive to get my emails but nothing is coming at all. But when i looked at my email box on the computer i had 3 new messages. Nothing is coming to my phone at all...what i did get was an email from 2 days ago. I called ATT and also HTC and they couldnt figure out whats going on. I even deleted and put in the email to see if it would work but nothing. So im just wondering if theres any way to fix this issue? or also does anyone else have this issue?
mm i have noticed this too
it even feels as though it is selectively choosing which emails to dnload.
i tried changing storage settings and upping all the limits but no go, for me it only does this with my gmail account, so i just put it down to gmail and gave up...
SAME HERE!!!!
I too am having the same issue I am running PDAcorner v20. I have a gmail account tied into my phone. what i have noticed to far is that from 1 perticular sender it doesnt dl from but this causes the rest of the email not to dl. if i delete that 1 email from that sender and click send/receive all others will come in fine.
i have already tried a few radios and roms thinking it was the prob but I was wrong. its been going on since i say maybe around a week to a week and a half.

i'm also running pda corner v20, have eitherone of you tried deleting the gmail accont from the phone and set it up from scratc? i havent had any issues with my gmail.
yea i deleted my gmail account and started it from scratch....at that time it only downloaded an old email. but right now it seems like the emails are coming normal to me now....i think it was att issue cause later that night my phone went to EDGE instead of having 3G and then in the morning when i woke up it was back to 3G. So im thinking ATT was working on something and fixed the issue!
I also tried deleting and starting from scratch. I know its not the rom as I have tried several all with the same results. The wiered thing is like I said before if i choose NOT to d/l email from that specific sender all my emails d/l with no problems. I really can't understand whats going on. I have neva heard of anything like this
For 3 days now for a span of 1.5 hours a day I receive the same message from an unknown source. Ranging from every 2-5 minutes apart. Has anyone experienced this as well? Is this possibly from an AT&T Alert (QuickReach is what I was told) that no longer functions properly due to a flashed ROM?
Anyone ever heard of Quickreach?
Luckily I have unlimited SMS..so irritating.
Did you use a different SMSC # on your phone?
Happened to me once, because the dude that used the phone before me changed his smsc # on it.
There was another post on this that I ran across some time back. It stated that you might receive text messages like this when your phone is attempting to receive email through the push email function, but your phone is not connected to the internet. I do not have all of the info on this unfortunately, but I ran into it as well recently, and when I reconnected to MEdia Net, those texts stopped.
Hope this gives you some insight.
Aren't those the text messages you get after using OZ instant messaging? I used to get those when I used OZIM, as they updated its status, friend info, etc., and they would always stop as soon as I exited the application, or sometimes a few minutes afterward.
I'm not sure how you would stop this, but maybe flashing back to AT&T's stock ROM, and running OZ IM, then exiting the application fully would stop the messages. Then you could go back to whatever ROM you want. I'm not sure it would work, but it may be worth a shot. I hope that helps, and good luck,
Dave
