Does anyone know how to set up Gmail on the device, but as POP3? It automatically sets it as IMAP, without giving you an option to change it. So I tricked the setup wizard by entering a different e-mail, and entered the settings for POP3. Problem is, messages are being sent - but nothing seems to enter my mailbox. And I get no error message.
Did anyone already do that?
Could seem stupid, but, check if IMAP is active in your Gmail setting panel.
I use 2 gmail account and they works fine.
I'm not using IMAP (since it requires 3G connection, which is expensive), i'm using POP3. And POP3 is indeed enabled in Gmail.

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
all my emails just disappeared when i sent an email today???? even the ones i have not read. the only emails that are still there are sent items??? does anyone else have this problem? gmail has been working fine for about a month and half since i got my tilt.
the emails are still saved when i use my pc and go to gmail. i got a smartphone cause i need mobile email. this really defeats the purpose.
sorry if this is a duplicate topic. but if someone can help me out that would be great. -BILL
By default, I believe your last 3 days worth of email is stored on the phone. Perhaps the email was older then 3 days. You can change that in the email setup. Hope this helps.
Gmail works much better as imap versus pop3
I was having some strange problems with gmail when I initially set it up on my Tilt. By default, when you setup a new gmail account, the wizard sets it up as a pop3 account. This is how I had mine setup at first, and it worked inconsistently.
I then set it up again, but this time manually configured the account, selecting imap as account type. You may need to check the setup of your gmail account on a pc to verify that imap is enabled. It will also give you the settings that you need to configure the Tilt.
Since setting this account up as in imap type, it has been extremely reliable.
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.
Gmail on my Kaiser works fine generally, but I'm having problem with the sent mails. Each mail is sent twice whether replying or writing a new one. It's just gmail, not any other mail account I configured (yahoo, live mail). I don't know what's wrong, but it's really annoying. (Flexmail doesn't do that). I don't like flexmail so I think default would just be fine, only if it works fine.
That's how Gmail works. Do you have Gmail set up via POP or Imap?
If you go to GMails Website, You notice it has "conversation view" in replied to messages. I believe that may be what's going on.
I know about conversation view. When I send a message this is sent twice. I have configured gmail as Imap

Do you mean the person you send the e-mail to gets 2 e-mails? I've got Gmail POP on my Kaiser and have no issues, i've also got Live, Work POP, and synced Outlook and i've not run into this issue. Can you list your IMAP settings?

Exactly! I have other accounts too, like Yahoo/Live/outlook but no problem on them, just the gmail. Here's the IMAP settings.
incoming mail server: imap.gmail.com
Account type: IMAP4
user name: [email protected]
password:
outgoing mail server: smtp.gmail.com
outgoing server requires authentication: checked
use the same user name...: checked
Require SSL for incoming e-mail: checked
Require SSL for outgoing e-mail: checked
Automatic Send/Receive: Every 2 hours
Same problem, same setting. I think this is a gmail server site bug, not a prob that we can solve.

i have my g-mail setup EXACTLY like it says on the gmail site
Settings -> Forwarding and POP/IMAP -> follow those to a Tee.
i was having all kinds of weird problems and then i followed that and disabled CAPTHCA which isn't related but recommended. Once all setting were finished it was working perfect, so please set it up first and see if it helps.

Are you sure you do not have "Keep copies of sent items in Sent folder" set? (WM -> Messaging -> Tools -> Options -> Message)
If you do & are using IMAP then copy that goes through gmails smtp servers will appear & the Local Sent folder will be synced with gmail hence 2 copies.
I had the same problem because I wanted to keep my sent sms messages and it's a global setting but with the threaded sms chat in 6.1 it is safe to turn it off.
I see, i've got POP setup on mine and have never experienced anything like this.
I have a Tilt with Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716/5.2.19700
This is happening to me as well. Using gmail imap, the phone wants to save sent items in the sent folder, which creates a "sent items" label in gmail. Any mail sent from your phone then get placed into gmail's default sent items folder and also in the "sent items" label. I went to the message tools, and the Message tab and unchecked "Keep copies of sent items in sent folder", but the phone keeps creating the "sent items" folder.
I know that on WM 6.0, when setting up imap, you could go into some advanced options and specifically set it to not save sent messages on the server, but that option is replaced with "When deleting messages: delete the off the server / Move them to server trash". If you set the option to the latter, you'll get another label called "imap/trash".
I haven't been able to figure out how to tell it to not save sent messages on the server and not create the unwanted label.
If anybody knows the secret, I, and others, would appreciate some input.
Thanks.
Heyho,
i'm searching for an email app wich allows me to check my mails i sent from Thunderbird on Win7 when im not at home. Normally on my android device it works properly with K9 and imap on both programs, but on my Win7 device it didn't.
Ja i set everything to imap, maybe interesting it's an gmx adress. And normally they want to be paid for imap, but it works also if u enter smtp... yourself.

hi max
The only thing i've managed to get working is gmail.
I have gmail check my 3 pop email accounts ( all seperate mail servers)
On WP7.5 under gmail account i can find each folder ( i have set up in Gmail to keep the 3 inboxes seperate) and pin the inbox to the home screen.
On the home screen i can see when and how many mails are in each mail box
I like gmail as it means even if i loose my phone or whatever, i can always check all my mail on one webmail account
Works great
gmail, yahoo, hotmail all work perfectly fine in wp7.
I set up an IMAP server we use at work, without any problems.
Do you get an error message?
