gmail issue on tilt

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.

Hotmail Syncing

Sorry if this has been addressed already, but I thought it relevant so I'm posting it here. I've always used just my GMail account with the native app and it's worked fine so I never really bothered with my Hotmail account since it's only POP mail and I feel that having it poll my Inbox every 15mins drains the battery heavily. But I read this morning that they've just started rolling out the new Windows Live Hotmail Wave 4 today, which includes Exchange ActiveSync support for Push email and Account syncing for Calendar and Contacts.
As it's being rolled out in clusters, my account hasn't been upgraded yet. But I decided to try to set up my account to Push anyways and it seems like it's working fine.
If you want to do the same in the Stock Email App, Add a New Account. Then input your Email Address and Password then hit the Manual Setup button and Select Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and use these settings:
Domain\Username: \username@hotmail.com
Password: password
Server: m.hotmail.com
Use Secure Connection (SSL): Yes
Accept all SSL Certificates: No
hit Next, then make sure the Email Check Frequency is set to Automatic (Push) and then just set your other sync options. (I've only synced mail since my contacts and calendar are synced with GMail).
I'm sure some things will change when my account actually gets the upgrade, but for now, it's basically all I need.
Full Disclosure: I'm on 2.2 and using the stock Email App for this. I don't know how this will impact 2.1 or if you're using K9 or Touchdown, etc. so feel free to post you results.

Just tried your settings with the 2.1 email app and it's no go.

Just tested...
...and it works! Running 2.2 (FRF50).
Even though I rarely use it and that it's mostly used for pretty useless mail it's still nice that it works, finally.

Using stock 2.1 update 1, it works except there's no calendar option(should only available in 2.2), but the server is not very stable, need a few more retry to connect

Must be why it failed then.

2.2 you can add with out having to change any settings.

Do you know the setting to use in any other apps? The stock mail app doesnt allow showing html pictures, so i'd prefer to use k-9 or touchdown...
THANKS!!

Worked for me on 2.1 email app. Now, how do I get a widget to show me the unread count?

Finally MS do something useful to their antiquated service!

Tried it, but doesn't work (yet)
Do you get an e-mail when your account is upgraded?

Guess that is cool if it works, but you can only have 1 Exchange Activesync account on any device...that includes iPhone, WinMo etc...

Has this stopped working for anyone? I'm just getting 'unable to connect to server' now.

Same here, getting the "Unable to open connection to server."-message now.
The wierd thing is that yesterday I got the little yellow bar up top in Hotmail telling me to restart the browser to try the new version (which is what actually got me to try this) but nothing really changed, rollback?

Technically true, but two Push accounts can be accomplished on both Android & WinMo(windows live + exchange)

For us with X10's who are stuck with version 1.6 of Android,
What are the settings to get this working in K9? Has anyone successfully got it working with that mail prog?
Thanks!

Still not working here. Go Microsoft

Small update:
My Hotmail account was upgraded to Wave 4 this morning... Hotmail via Exchange? Still no go. It worked for about an hour back on 17th June, and nothing since.

Well it's all working again now

so its real push service?
if yes i need try this
i wa susing SEVEN but lack of html =(

Yes, it's proper push.

[Q] Multiple email notifications?

So I'm getting multiple notifications for my Hotmail account. Basically, I'll get an email, read/delete it, then it shows back up in my inbox 20-30 minutes later (sometimes up to an hour), complete with a new notification. Also, possibly related, but it also doesn't really delete the emails from the account, so when I access the account on a computer, I have a ton of "unread" emails. Any way to get rid of the notifications and actually delete the messages from the account?

Anyone/anything?

What rom are u using ???
Root-Hack-Mod-Always™

CM6.1 currently, but it did the same thing when I was running DC 2.09.1, and when I moved to CM6. I don't remember if it did it when I was using the stock ROM, that was a long time ago.

yeah i have this too with live acct, same as hotmail. i read somewhere that hotmail/live don't have the same permissions as yahoo/gmail, and there is not a fix. i did get a little better results after deleting the acct and reinstalling it after i switched to 6.1.

I don't think they will delete off the hotmail server will they. I don't use hotmail personally, but my wife has issues with hers on an iPod Touch. We figured it out, and it was something in the settings online. I tried to get to to just switch to gmail exclusively, but nada as of yet. closest I have come is talking her into an Android when she is eligible for an upgrade from Sprint in Feb
Check your hotmail settings on the web possibly?

Everytime exchange sync for gmail returns authentication failed

Hey guys,
Anyone of your experienced such problem?
I create an exchange activesync account for google. and then input all the information correctly such as the server name, username, password,
Then I select sync mail, calendar, contact, and push. After click finish, it always returns "authentication failed"
Anyone know what's going on?

Probably u have to enter a captcha trough the website (this can be done from a pc) or you have the wrong credentials.
Edit: or your internet doesn't allow you to connect, (business firewall?)
Edit 2: Google is no exchange, just use the default Google account option.

If you use the default mail client, you can set up Google via IMAP.

This does not work either. I have just purchased a HTC Desire S and cannot get a Google Apps working through either IMAP or Exchange.
Infact, any time I have tried to add an account via. Exchange I see that error message (Hotmail/Google Apps account).
It seems that imap.google.com is down from my limited tests, and I would want exchange support.
What gives, is the Mail client on the Gingerbread phones broke?
Cheers

I don't think you can connect through Google Mail via Exchange. Exchange is only meant for connecting to MS Exchange servers.
You have the following two choices:
- Either run the standard GMail client.
- Or run the standard Mail Client and connect via IMAP.
What exactly do you mean when you say you want "Exchange Support"? If you want Exchange support, you should look at Exchange-based email services.
BTW, I have no issues connecting to GMail's through IMAP using the default email client nor do I have issues with connecting through the GMail client.

Thanks for your reply.
Actually gmail can be accessed via exchange. As I used before in iOS. You can find it under the webpage of google/sync.
There's explicit tutorial for ios user to set up an exchange server for gmail. The mails is pushed to the client rather than retrieving them every certain time.
server is: m.google.com
user name: [email protected]
password: xxxx
cheers

That's using Google Sync (Google Sync uses the MS Exchange Activesync protocol) for the iPhone. One the Incredible S (as on the other Android phones), you do not need to use Google Sync to get push email (in fact I don't think Google Sync is available for Android phones). All you need to do is set up your Google Account and have it sync the calendar, phone book and email and you'll have everything working.
I'm not sure why you want to go via the iPhone(Exchange) route when there's a simpler (and more native way) of getting your Google mail set up with your Android phone.

Thanks man.
I know I can get push gmail from the built-in app. But what I want is to receive all my mails in just one app. Cuz I have 4 email account, which includes my school account, department account, and others, while I still want to get my gmail pushed.
Thanks for your explanation, that makes sense. I also live in Victoria, lol

The in-built google account does not seem to work for Google Apps accounts? as in anything that doesn't end in @gmail etc?
If I try the imap settings, I get an error message saying that the phone cannot connect to the server?
That is using "imap.google.com". Should the phone accept google apps accounts through the native google account provider?
And Android does work fine with Google Sync, at least it does on the Galaxy S I have.

MiG

It does work as I have my Google Apps account working with both the GMail and standard mail client.
When you set up your Google account, ensure that the sync for mail is on. That should set it up to work with your GMail client.

Just tried this. It says the username/password is not recognised through the built-in GMail App.....
Are there any settings I have to enable?

Most people missing the point here though? I too want to use the HTC Mail client (as I'll be honest, GMail client sucks) and IMAP only does mail, most of the time it syncs just fine using m.google.com but sense 2.1 (and 3.0) regularly get auth error's, and only go back to push mail when that's cleared or you launch the mail app to set the sync off again. It's deffo a sense issue as sense 2.0 Roms dont have the issue. It's seems to do with the way HTC have implemented their ActiveSync V14.x protocol stuff or how Google have (as sense 2.1/3 both try v14.1 first, then fail back to 12.x)
Hey ho, might dig around a bit more as there is some errors in the logs, might be able to track it down, might also ping a question over to HTC.

Seem to have fixed it, and it's a easy (if odd) fix,
Login on PC to GMail (or app for domain in my case) and change your password, change it on phone
All sorted... Dont ask me why?

So i tried a lot of things and nothing worked also hard reset, chang password from gmail account.
it´s only with the gmail all other email provider are working find and fo me i don´t like to have 2 email app´s because gmalapp is working fine but the i have to use the other app for my work and i don´t prefer it.
hope anybody can help.
incredible s
v. 2.3.3

Guys, the thing is, the default gmail app is HIDEOUS with no pinch to zoom, it f's up formatting in portrait, and is just really low quality.
The HTC mail app looks A LOT better, but problem is, if you don't set gmail up as Exchange, it fails cause it won't push.

[Q] Exchange Sync Issues - Please Help

Morning all,
I just picked-up an AT&T Nexus 6. I set it up, upgraded to 5.01, did a wipe after and then configured my phone. I setup Exchange first (hosted Exchange with Rackspace) and started running into all sorts of problems with the native Gmail Exchange App. First it wouldn't sync contacts and calendars - only email. So I did some Googling and the removed the account, re-setup the Syn with just Calendars....and then adding Contacts after Calendars was done...and then added Email at the end after Contacts was done. This worked, but then email wouldn't sync with Push after the initial setup (or with Pull configured either) and would only get new emails after closing the App or rebooting the phone. Frustrated, I wiped and re-started with Nine (gorgeous interface BTW) and it was able to sync contacts, calendars and email all at once - perfect! BUT then the same issue happened - - email wouldn't sync (push or pull) until I restarted the App or the phone. Disclaimer - I have an iPhone 6 and a Note 4 and an iPad Air 2 that ALL sync perfectly fine with our hosted Exchange from Rackspace - never, ever had an issue. I have SSL set to "Accept all Certificates" as well (per the Googling) and still no good. When i try to do a manual Refresh in Nine, it just keeps "spinning" and never syncs-up with Exchange that was either (and just winds-up draining the battery because it keeps trying).
Everywhere I read about people having Exchange problems with the new Gmail app on 5.0 - - supposedly installing Nine solved the problem, but not for me, which is obviously frustrating. Can anyone please give me some hints as to what I should be looking for? I would greatly appreciate any advice and support.
Thanks!
Adam

Try mailwise as well
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.syntomo.email
Make sure that you set the check frequency to push and check the three sync checkboxes (mail, contacts, calendar)
I had some problems with gmail but mailwise works fine
And it handles the folder tree better than gmail

Indeed this worked! Nice app, smooth interface - and appears to have all the features one would need. Thanks very much. It's a shame that the stock Gmail App doesn't work but maybe 5.1 will fix some of these things.
Appreciate the fast response.
