Hi guys,
I'm having a bit of a strange issue with using email. I have my GMAIL account set-up, and it works fine, constantly pulls my emails through and I am able to send emails fine as well.
The problem though is that when I send an email, it doesn't appear in any of the folders on the mail tab if i go back to search for it later.
Is anyone else having this issue using GMAIL on their Diamond 2?
Perhaps you need to make sure your SENT MAIL folder is set up to synch with the server. I had a similar issue with Yahoo Mail - if you're using IMAP instead of POP, then you can (and should) set up which of the folders on the server you want to synch with. I think that by default, your inbox and outbox are the only ones that get synched.
From the Mail tab in Manila, press INBOX. Then press MENU > Tools > Manage Folders.
Thanks Jim. Syncing the folders did the trick however it has raised another issue. All the emails in my sent folder just show my email address and the subject line and not who i actually sent the email too. Is this normal and how yours looks too?
Ha! I never noticed that before! Yes mine does the same. To see who you sent the message to, you have to open the message and scroll up.
That's a bit weird. I guess by default the mail app displays the sender and subject, which is fine for your inbox but a bit daft for the sent items folder. Not sure if it can be changed though.
Interesting...
I can not confirm the issue. When i change zu the folder "Sent" (in WM-Interface), i see the recipient, subject, date and size in the list - and not the sender. Same in "Outgoing".

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 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.
I have my yahoo mail account set up through pocket outlook, everything works ok except when I send messages, they don't show up in the sent folder. I have the setting checked that should save all sent items, so I'm stumped as to why it won't work. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
I would say you have two possibilities, one no E-Mails are being sent or two you need to go to your message option and select the check box which tells it to save a copy in your sent folder.
Unfortunately, this seems to be a common problem, especially with IMAP email accounts. From what I have read so far (Search IMAP Issues on XDA), there is no fix for this and is an issue with Windows Mobile.
Hopefully you don't have the issue where you cannot send email attachments as well... that's another common IMAP issue....
SIGH!!!
Magic Solution
I've been browsing various posts about this problem and just found a simple solution to my problem that might help others.
I have a yahoo account set up for for IMAP sync with my handheld. The "Keep copies of sent items in sent folder" box under options...message was checked. Yet my handheld was saving none of the emails I had sent.
I also noted that I have two folders for sent in my account: one called "sent" and one called "sent items".
My solution was to check "Sent Items" for sync under the Menu...Tools...Manage Folders option on the handheld. Syncing the "Sent" folder had no effect.
Having set the "Sent Items" folder for sync, all the emails I had previously sent magically appeared on both my handheld and on my yahoo account. Amazing.
I hope someone else finds this helpful.
Thanks tedkle! Your solution worked perfectly! My Sent Items now appear on both my handheld and Yahoo account.
Now for the next challenge. . . I also synchronize with Outlook, so Yahoo, my device and my desktop Outlook all need to be in synch.
Is there any way to take your solution one step further and also have mail sent from my device also appear in Outlook? It would appear that a setting in Yahoo needs to be flipped to "Push" items in "Sent Items" folder as well as items in the "Inbox"?
Thanks again!
Great!
That solve the problem. I was told by a tech representative that it was a flaw with Windows Mobile. furthermore, he said that the telco technician confirmed that.
All that after putting down $500 for a PPC smartphone. Hopefully, the telco will come up one day with smart-technicians.
Thanks a lot
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.
