Having a few problems with email. I can't find any way of managing email accounts in WM6. I am currently trying to sync with my companies exchange server. I have all the details I need but when I try to add an email address via Start > Messages > Messaing > New Email account" I get stuck.
It asks me for my email address. I uncheck the 'find settings on the internet' box thing. It then asks for my name and pop3/imap4 server address. I assume this is trying to setup the wrong type of email as I was expecting to be able to select 'Exchange Server' but I am not getting the option to do so.
Am i doing something retarded?
Thanks
Jon
To connect to exchange server directly you go to active sync on your device and "Configure Server"
Don't know what your doing but for me it works fine.
Exchange for skool mail.
Pop3 for Mobile private website mail.
Outlook sync for Private website mail.
It gave me the option the first time I did it but not anymore. Is it only possible to sync with one exchange server and that I have to delete the first attempt before trying to add another?
Also, is there a way of managing the email accounts in WM6 as I want to delete a couple of test accounts I have been playing with and cant seem to find out how to get rid of them.
Thanks
Jon
Open an email or SMS account.
Tap Menu, Tools, Options.
That takes you to a screen where you can add or delete accounts as well as change connection settings for them.

You can only sync with one exchange server.
Think I have most things sorted now. The only issue I cannot resolve is I am not being alerted when a mail arrives in my live messenger account. I get the alert when it lands in the inbox but am not being alerted if one of my message rules sends it to one of my custom folders.
I recently flashed my kaiser with the latest duty rom.After that i try to setup a imap gmail account.
The problem is that i can recieve mail, but when i try to send it gives the error :the message(s) could not be sent.Check that you have network coverage and that your account information is correct.Then try sending again
I checked / dubbel checked the imap settings from gmail, but nothing seems to work.
(if i try to setup pop3/smtp everything works fine)
Is there anybody who can help me ?
I think it comes because WM6 wants to automatic set some settings.
Try the following:
Create a new imap account.
By the email adressfield put something like. [email protected]
Fill in all the other fields but remember to select imap4
When finished go back and edit the account with the right settings.
I had to do this with my own phone to get it working
have you enabled imap within your gmail settings at mail.google.com?
have you set the SSL settings to yes?
Tom , yes i enabled imap on the gmail setting, and yes i checked the ssl setting ( i cant change anything, only set the V )
@AAthesource : i tried this already, this is the only way to setup gmail with imap, otherwise the setting are automaticly set tot pop3 etc

I've had this problem with WM6.0 (Dutty's RTM4). The issue seems to be the ssl certificate than GMail sees fit to change every now and again. The SMTP info doesn't seem to change in the registry. Even with account deletion and re-add with the same name doesn't seem to fix this. I usually have to delete the account and then add with a different name.
Does anyone know where the fsck Pocket Outlook et al store the account information and especially cache certificates and passwords?
James
this would be nice if there's a solution !Hope to see it soon
I think you might be using the wrong information. The server isnt mail.google.com, its imap.google.com .
WM6.1 will automatically fill in settings, so you have to start off by making the address [email protected], then after you are done you can go back and correct that address. Here are the details from google's site. (remember to put the wrong address the first time around)
1. Enable IMAP in your Gmail account settings.
2. Open the Start menu and select Programs > Messaging > New E-mail Account.
3. Enter your Gmail username (including '@gmail.com') in the E-mail Address field.
4. Uncheck the box to get settings automatically from the Internet and select Next.
5. Select Internet e-mail as your email provider in the drop-down menu.
6. Enter your name as you want it to appear in sent emails.
7. Enter a descriptive name for the email account and select Next.
8. Enter 'imap.gmail.com' in the Incoming Mail Server field.
9. Select IMAP4 as the Account type from the drop-down menu and select Next.
10. Enter your Gmail username (including '@gmail.com') and password.
11. Select Next.
12. Enter 'smtp.gmail.com' in the Outgoing (SMTP) Mail Server field.
13. Make sure that the Outgoing server requires authentication box is checked.
14. Select the Advanced Server Settings link.
15. Make sure that the Require SSL box is checked for both incoming and outgoing emails.
16. Select The Internet as the network connection from the drop-down menu.
17. Select Done and then Next.
18. Select how often you want your phone to send/receive emails from the drop-down menu.
19. For more download options, select the Review all download settings link.
20. Select Finish.

My notes on these steps:
1. Ignore
3. Use a made up non @gmail.com adress the first time.
4. There is no check box in 6.1
12. I used imap.gmail.com for my outbound and it works great.
21. Menu > Tools > Options > Gmail Account > Fix Address to correct @gmail.com
@Pops_G it works for me now thanx !
i replaced smtp.gmail.com with imap.gmail.com and it works
is this a long term fix?
@ the cosmic gate & pops_G, is changing from smtp to imap.gmail really a long term fix?
I've found that erasing and re-creating the account will work until they change certificates again.
Going into my options and just switching outgoing to imap.gmail.com didn't fix it for me.
I had to erase my account from the phone and enter it again to work, using imap.gmail as the outgoing. However, I'm not convinced this fixes anything since re-doing it with smtp.gmail also would work until they change the security again.
So, will that not happen if using imap.gmail for outgoing?
Or does any of this really make any difference at all?
@Dishe, I really doen't know if this is a long time fix.But at this moment everything works fine for 1 month.
The only problem is that sometimes its not possible to send a mail.
It's really strange, but for example if you wanna send 4 mails, just 1 e-mail (adress) gives problems
I had it working fine in this 1999 rom but didnt seem to work with the hybrid. I also dont like how imap deletes the mail from the server when u del it off the phone. I just set it back to use pop. Only problem I saw with pop before was everything sent ends up in your inbox.

That's silly. You can set it to move trash to server trash instead of delete off server. Then, the message still exists on the server in "trash" until you empty it.
Also, at least with gmail, "delete" only removes it from the inbox. It still exists on the gmail server, but its not in any folders, they just sort of float around until you move them into the trash folder or assign them to another folder.
You can see this by viewing "All Mail" and filtering out the inbox, etc, to just show you messages without any category.
The only real reason to use POP these days is if your mail server does not support Imap. Imap is superior in every way...
It's not silly I don't want want my phone moving or deleting anything. I just want to view new emails. That's what gmail is about. Archiving mail and not having to delete anything. If it moved it to the archive I would be fine with it. I also don't my message in limbo with the "deleted" status.
it works for me for 3 weeks now, but sometimes there's a problem when i try to reply.
If i made a reply to some adressses, it says that its nog possible to send (something with network coverage).I know for sure that the mail adres is 100% okay .
Someone with the same problem ?Or maybe a solution?
is there nobody with the same problem ?Or somebody who can help me ?
nope, works fine for me. Sounds like you have a totally different problem. Ask google support or perhaps someone on their forums.

I have the same problem. I have seen this mentioned on several gmail discussion groups but no solution proposed.

how come gmail imap in 6.1 does not auto sync like it did in wm6? i have options like manual and different intervals as an option.
Greets,
Does anyone know if its possible to reprogram the messaging button to open a specific email account rather than the full on messaging menu (which includes "setup email" and "outlook email").
Thanks

In your Inbox, click Menu -> Tools -> Options That should bring up the account setup screen and at the bottom is a box that says "Display account picker when opening Messaging" Unchecking that box should take you to your default email account.

Thank you!
...but this opens last account you used. so, if you click sms icon in HTC Home, the next time you click mail icon in HTC Home it will take you to sms inbox.
Hi,
I use gmail app on a Samsung Galaxy S and after uppgrading to 2.2.1 yesterday when I delete email on the phone they are still showed as unread on the server (Gmail web client). IMAP is activated on gmail.
I want an email to be deleted on the server when I delete it on the phone.
Any ideas?
Edit:
I found a solution that works for me:

I made a typo when addressing an email and that "bad" address keeps popping up when I start a new email. Ho can I remove it? I tried long pressing and hoping for a "delete" button but no luck there.
More info in case that isn't enough of a description: I am running CM7. It happens on all three of my email accounts. I begin to type a new email address in the "To:" line and the address with the typo pops up as a choice along with other "good" addresses.
TIA for any assistance.
Contacts > [specific_name) > menu button > edit > enter correct email address > save
Thanks for trying to help, neidlinger but I do not have any contacts (I know that sounds odd but I don't use my Nook for email very much. I use my phone and desktop (both Windows)
Any other ideas?
How about delete account and re enter?
I have three email accounts on the Nook and when I start a new email in any one of them, the email address with the typo pops up with the "good" email address (I hit a k by mistake after .com one time and the Nook remembers it). I have no names or email addresses in the default contacts app (haven't put any in yet). Does anyone know where the "auto fill" emails are stored on the Nook?
thanks for trying to help, life64x
Sounds like a user dictionary issue. You can find it in settings.
I don't have my nook at the moment, lent it to my other half for the weekend and didn't get it back yet. Muck around in the settings menus until you find it, or someone else comes in to tell you exactly how to get to it.
Sorry I can't be more precise then that.
Thanks for your suggestoin, Blue6IX. I went through the Settings and found "User dictionary" under "Language & Keyboard Settings" but no luck: it says "you do not have any words in the user dictionary".
Any other ideas?
I found an answer after googling various terms. Even though I did not have any contacts on my Nook (nor in my google gmail account). I did have the setting "Sync Gmail" checked in "Accounts & Sync Settings". When I went to my gmail account on my desktop I saw the typo listed not in "My Contacts" but under "Call Phone". I deleted that entry by clicking on "More" then "Contact Details" then "More actions" then "Delete". I synced my Nook (the typo was removed at that point).
Maybe this will help someone else (?)
