Googlemail IMAP problem + solution - Redundant thread - MODS PLEASE CLOSE!!!

Hi there! just in case anyone else suffers the same problem and gets as frustrated as I did
As of this morning, my Kaiser has been unable to send e-mail via my gmail account. I am able to receive mail just fine, but it keeps giving a synchronisation error message and a pop up box stating:
The message(s) could not be sent. Check that you have network coverage and that your account information is correct. Then try sending again.
No matter how many times I retried, it just wouldn't work.
I deleted the mailbox and recreated it - it worked for 2 test messages and then failed again!! I've been using gmail in IMAP form now since January and have never had any problems with WM6.0 or with WM6.1 until now...
To resolve this issue, I searched on Google and found the following page:
http://groups.google.vu/group/hosted-the-basics/browse_thread/thread/9aed5859cd5b07d4
To cut a longish article short(!) if you go back into your mailbox settings and disable SSL on the outgoing server it seems to work!!
I don't know how long it'll continue to work for before it stops again, but it may just be enough to get that vital e-mail sent...
incidentally - I never actually had SSL set up on either incoming or outgoing servers until today and it seemed to work just fine before???

Sorry guys, just noticed an active thread on this subject already - I searched for 'googlemail' rather than 'gmail' in the search facility and didn't find anything...
Mods - can you please close this thread?
Very sorry guys!!

workaround for at&t
I was having the same problem and it was incredibly frustrating. I think it has to do with carriers trying to control spam being sent over their networks or something like that. Anyway, i'm now using cwmx.com (i think it stands for "cingular wireless messaging exchange") as my outgoing smtp server. No authentication is required as it will only work if you are on the at&t network to begin with. Also, SSL is not required.

Can I fix these problems if I root?

I have 3 basic issues with the phone, which I otherwise love. Here they are:
1 - The e-mail client cannot in-line forward e-mails. It attaches the forwarded message as a .eml file. This is especially annoying as Android cannot open .eml attachments. So essentially, if someone using and android phone forwards an e-mail to my android phone, I can't read it.
2 - Mail is never "marked as read" in the mail client unless either a refresh or more mail activity occurs. In other words, if I get an e-mail and read it on Outlook, it will stay unread on my phone. This leads to constant notifications of new mail, which I've already read unless I manually clear it. Note that the Gmail client does this fine, when mail is read on the computer, the phone knows and marks it read on the phone, eliminating the notification.
3 - I would really like to pull down the notification tray from the lock screen. Is this possible?
SO would I be able to fix these issues and would probably be willing to root, if rooting would fix them.
Thanks guys.

Monday bump

1 - Mail client doesn't change if rooted, so it'll do exactly the same until someone fixes the source and recompiles it. In that case you'll need to root to use it.
2 - This is the result of mail protocols, not anything to blame the phone / client for. It'll happen the same if you use 2 computers. Gmail client works because it uses push notifications from server. If I remember correctly, Exchange server also pushes when connected, so I suppose default mail client would work the same way if connected to Exchange server. Again, rooting won't help.
3 - I don't know of such mod. The only thing which is close, is disabling the lock screen completely - and for this (again, if I remember correctly, you can check it by searching either the forum or just google) you have to have root.

Also, you can try 3rd party mail clients for (1) and partial (2) solutions (refresh once in a defined while). I don't know any, since I've never used the mail client, but there might be some which address those problems.

ok, thanks guys.

[Q] GMail imap issues [RESOLVED]

It seems after flashing a load of ROMS recently my IMAP email is no longer functioning as it was.
Situation.
I have a Gmail account with a number of different labels IMAP enabled.
I have a Mac with AppleMail working which recognises these labels and colours accordingly.
Nexus One running Kangorama CM6 RC2 b2
I woud be eternally helpful if someone could help me with the settings so that I can have the following situation.
Email comes into Gmail.
It appears on both Mac and Nexus.
If I delete it from any of the sources it is deleted permanently, instead of being filed away in the nether regions of gmail online.
Many thanks.

OK, apologies for wasting time.
I fixed issues by
Settings > Applications > All > Google Mail > Clear Data
And then opening GMAIL and allowing a resync.

[Q] Multiple SMTPs for the same email account

Hi there,
I'm trying to solve the issue described below. The solution, imo, could be an app or a tweak to be able to pick the SMTP server from a (short, fixed) list, ideally just before sending an e-mail message. Is there such a thing, that anyone knows of?
The issue I'm trying to solve is the following:
when I'm home, on wifi, I can use my provider's SMTP
when I'm on mobile data, I can only use my mobile provider's SMTP (which is not the same as my land line provider)
for my business accounts, I need to use yet another SMTP (possibly more than one), at least when I'm on Wifi.
I cannot possibly modify account settings each time! If an App could do this for me, though, it would be acceptable. Even on a per account basis (as opposed to a per message basis).
Duplicating accounts so to have every required combination of account-SMTP is ... clumsy, to say the least; and it would be barely acceptable if there was a way not to duplicate data (i.e. accounts using the same incoming mail servers but different SMTP share the same data).
I'm trying AcqaMail (free). "Aliases" only for the paid version: fine, I can take this. But does anyone know if they support multiple SMTPs?
Searched this forum quite a bit to no avail. Apologies if the answer is already there.
Thanks,
Franz

Xperia Z1 Lollipop Activesync problem

Hi everyone,
I have updated my Xperia Z1 to Lollipop yesterday and sofar I am happy with the update overall.
Except for one thing.
Since the update I can't get my Exchange mail to work.
At first I can setup the mailaccount and everything goes fine (as long as I sync Contacts first, the Calendar and then Email, otherwise it won't download contacts and calendar items). But after setting it up, it syncronizes once and after that no more mail is being downloaded.
A manual refresh of the inbox throws the error "Cannot connect to server".
Sending emails is working fine, they are immediately delivered, but receiving them isn't.
If I look at the logs on the firewall and Exchange server I don't even see any connections when I manually refresh.
What I have tried sofar:
- Delete and reconfigure Exchange on the device.
- Set the options to "Allow all certificates"
- Tried the Outlook for Android app, this works fine, but doesn't fill my contacts, so it's not usable for me.
- Disabled TLS 1.2 on the exchange server (Read on several pages that TLS 1.2 handshakes on 5.0.x don't work nicely and this might be the cause)
- Deleted the sync-relationship through OWA
I am seriously baffled by the fact that it syncs once after setup and then stops receiving mail, but stil sends mail.
Anybody who had the same problem or might have some tricks I could try?
