Hi,

I want an email to be deleted on the server when I delete it on the phone.

tytn2 imap gmail

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.

Is it possible to do IMAP Gmail in Pocket Outlook on WM6.1

Hey all,
I've always prefered IMAP over POP3, and out of habit just perfer to set things up this way when given the option. I've been on 2 WM6.1 roms and have now found that I can't setup Gmail for IMAP on them. It seems that with WM6.1, when you put in your email address as @gmail.com that WM6.1 goes into autodetect mode automatically and you can't choose not to do this to override the settings (Even the Gmail help says to choose a manual setup for IMAP but WM6.1 appears not to let you do this).
So my question is, does anyone know a workaround? For now I guess I'll live with it being POP3, but would really prefer IMAP settings if I can find out how to set it up.
yes you have to create a fake domain. so i do. [email protected] then you have the option of manually inputting instead having it to look for it looking automatically.

Thanks but you missed the whole point of my post. I've setup imap for gmail on wm6 many times. WM6.1 does the auto settings if you have a gmail.com address and configures it for pop3. The check box mentioned isn't there.
try not putting in the actual Gmail address on the first window where it asks you so it wont recognize it.
I tried [email protected] it lets me on to the next screen where you can do this

This is what I did as well. Worked for me.
Thanks guys. Yep the fake domain (Dang, I should have thought of that ) worked fine to get around this new "feature" of WM6.1.
All you had to do was search Google for "IMAP Gmail WM6.1" and the first, second, third, fouth, etc... result would have answered your question. Or you could have searched these forums and found tons or posts specific to this topic.
Someone with 2,239 should know that! zomg =P

How to delete an email account on Topaz?

I've delete the "account outlook" by activesync (unchecking the email sync) but I cannot delete the other accounts that I have setup directly on Diamond2 (mobileme and Gmail)!
It makes me change them but not eliminate completely! How can i do?
I hope in the knowledge of someone who says to me: "use total commander and delete the file xxxxx point!"
In account's options where there is: "Tap an account to change settings", I hold above the account to delete but nothing happens and when I leave it appears a screen which says:
Contents:
Edit Account Settings
Schedule Send / Receive
Download size settings ....
but no reference to cancel account! and below I just choice only Ok or Cancel? Ufffff ..
In the mail tab, I click Menu-> Accounts-> Account.
Selected the account, below there is "Delete" but is gray and not allow me to click!
That's strange!
(On Xperia I can do this but cannot on the Diamond2!! )

[Q] Need Help With K-9 Mail

Since the Gmail app isn't yet working on our rooted Nooks, I've been using K-9 Mail (Version 3.319). It works fine, but would be a bunch better if I could figure out a couple of features.
First, is there any way to link the K-9 Mail to Contacts, so I wouldn't have to type the recipient's email address every time I send a message?
And, second, is there a way to change or remove the Signature ("Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse the brevity.") I had it removed once -- on an earlier version of the program -- but now can't find that option in Settings.
Thanks for the help.
When you're on the Inbox screen, hit the menu soft key, go to More -> Settings -> Account Settings
Then go to Sending mail -> Manage identities -> <your identity>
From there, you can un-check the Use Signature button and/or change your signature
Account -> Account Settings -> Sending Mail -> Signature.
Sorry, I haven't looked at B&N's custom contacts stuff yet. But I'd take patches

How to disable phone "sync" for the Contacts?

Hello,
I have the following issue: it looks to me that the contacts app on my Samsung does a kind of sync of contacts on the phone.
For example I have a DAV synchronization of my professional accounts, and as you see in the attached image, Mat is twice in my contacts, once in "Phone Storage" (I have never added him there or enable any kind of synchronization on my phone) and once in the normal DAV address book.
The problem I have is that in my work address book I have removed Mat's phone number, but it still exists in the Phone storage.
Can I turn off this automatic synchronization with the Phone storage, or at least force my phone to do it correctly?
I mention that this is the case with all my address books, it is the same behavior with my private contacts in Microsoft 365 and that I never edit my contacts on my phone, only in my work account or in my Microsoft 365 account directly, so I can say that the synchronization is always one way, from the external system to my phone.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Sorin
Try this :
Go to settings - apps - tap on the sorting icon on the right of the 'your apps' area and enable 'show system apps'.
Go to 'google contacts sync'. Choose force stop and disable it.
Thank you! I have done what you have proposed, but I still have all my contacts in the "Phone Storage". Can I delete them safely? How?
