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".
I'm not sure if anyone else has come across this, but I use a POP email account on my desktop, and I also have it set up in K-9 Mail so that I can receive my email wherever I go. What I've noticed though, is that 95% of the time, it says (on my desktop computer) that there's already an open connection/something else is already using it. Occasionally if I close K9 with the Advanced Task Manager, I can download my messages.
But it seems as though its sending some keepalive or something. I have my e-mail to check every half an hour, but I know for my e-mail(Telus)..sessions time out after 10 minutes.
Anyone know if there's any way to get around this more efficiently, or if there's an alternate email application that handles these connections better?
I know that if I switch to IMAP, it works fine..the only problem is that Outlook doesn't store a copy of the messages locally with IMAP.
Thanks in advance!
I've been trying to find a way to fix this...
Is there a way or a setting somewhere that stops the Tilt from downloading messages I send/reply or is that a setting a gmail. It is annoying when I reply to an email using the gmail web interface or with outlook on my PC, then my phone will download my mail as a new message. I don't really want to set up some sort of filter, since some times when I send an email, I will CC myself, but I am just annoyed by it downloading every single reply.
Uuuuuhhhhhhh o.k.
stop CC'ing yourself, just check your sent box... too simple or not complex enough a solution?

Did you read the problem or not understand it? The problem is when I reply to emails, the Tilt will download it as a new message. Where did I state that I CC myself all the time? What does checking my sent messages have anything to do with what the Tilt is downloading?
little snippy...
Pretty sure you not only said it, but now you've highlighted the fact that you sometimes CC yourself on emails sent, so yes, you would receive a copy. You would check your sent box to view messages that you have sent rather than CC'ing yourself. Mighty snippy for someone asking for help. Are you using a threaded version of Gmail? that's the only reason I could think you would receive a copy of the conversation, aside from CC'ing yourself.
If you read it, it says SOMETIMES. My problem is EVERY email reply gets downloaded. The CCs aren't a problem and not something I am complaining about. I am complaining about all replies done by me being downloaded as a new email. My response to you would have been different if you actually replied like you read it what the problem was.
updated after you posted
Trying again, are you using a threaded style of Gmail or the true Gmail website?
Not really sure. I rarely ever use the gmail website unless I am at a different computer. Most of my email comes to my phone and PC, which I remote into during work and just use Outlook to respond if I can. I'll try to explain the problem better. I apologize, just having a hectic day at work.
When someone emails me, the Tilt will download the email.
I will reply back using the tilt, or Outlook on my PC, and every once in a while, the gmail web interface. NOT CCing myself.
Tilt then downloads again, my reply and puts it in my inbox.
The only time I CC myself, is when I send out a new email that I feel is important. I do this because I like to have a copy for myself, and I empty my sent box on a weekly basis.
Also, I just did a web search on this threaded gmail thing you were talking about. It appears that is a 'feature' in gmail and it can't be disabled. It puts my replys in a 'conversation' style so it thinks that my replies are new messages and just downloads them. I guess I just have to deal with it.
More questions
Does ONLY the tilt capture all replies or do they also show up on your box at home and is this independant of from where you reply (home box or tilt)? Gmail uses a conversation view that shows reply messages as a long conversation would appear in MMS/SMS. I can't imagine that this would cause the problem but may be another piece to this puzzle.
Don't worry about my comments, I'm a smart-ass. Pretty much everyone is here to help and there are many more smart-assier (and just plain smarter) than me. Just roll with the punches and enjoy the website.
I must type slowly
I use Gmail and reply from my tilt as well, but have not had a problem. But i don't use a web app, I have gmail as a separate account that I access just like standard push-mail. What way do you use gmail?
Same problem
When I used my tilt I was having the same problem. I would send an email from my tilt (from a push account I had set up on the phone) and would receive a copy of the sent mail as a new message. I had that phone for 2 years and used various roms and could never stop it from doing so. It was very annoying to say the least. Some light on this matter would be awesome.
If I can, I just use email from the phone, or outlook on my PC if there is a large attachment. It only does it on the Tilt. My outlook on the PC is only showing up the emails from other people, and not myself. I can see on the web interface my replies though if I log on.
I have it set up on the Tilt as an account as well, so I am not using the gmail interface thru the phone. Not sure how I have it setup or if it is a seperate email software. I just click on messages and added the email account. It doesn't matter where I reply from. I also have a Yahoo account set up and it doesn't do this.
Also, the phone info:
Duttys WM6.1 build 19700
radio 1.65.14.06
I had this problem once and I was because I forget to change the "[email protected]" that I used during the initial setup back to my actual e-mail address.
I just fixed the issue. I deleted the account from the phone and recreated a new one and set it up as IMAP. I think the issue at first was because I had it set up and let the phone download the settings for me and it configured it as POP. This time, I set up everything manually and tested it out and it appears to be fine now.
Anyone using the samsung email app? Is it possible that it's really slow and unreliable? Got some massive problems with it...
If you want to configure it for google mail, just use this setting, rather then auto.
Add account , type [email protected] n pw
- select manual setting
- Microsoft active sync
- keep ID n PW field as it is in server field type, m.google.com
in next screen you will see push setting, select accroding your need
Hope it should work.
Thanks, but push is configured, it's just not working very well. It's slow and buggy. F.e. my phone just rang like it got an email but there wasn't one...also the status bar isn't updating properly. Worked much better on my HTC Desire overall. Is something wrong with my Note or is it just crappy samsung software?

I had trouble with the Gmail app, started about a week ago. It would not push mail. I had to manually refresh. Without a refresh, mail would arrive but very late.
I was considering a wipe, when all problems just went away. Last 2 days everything OK again. Maybe it was Gmail having trouble?
So I have been using the stock e-mail app for a while now and have noticed that most of the time I am not getting my g-mail pushed to my phone. That is the only e-mail account I set up on the stock e-mail app. So, I noticed today that when I have the phone set to CDMA only, it will not push e-mail, but when I change it to CDMA/LTE, all of the sudden the e-mails begin to flow. Anyone else notice this issue? Is there some setting I have missed that could be causing this?
