Has anyone figured out a way to select which sub-folders sync to the device? It seems like the mail client chooses sub-folders at random. So instead of getting my business sub-folders which I really need, I get my Junk Mail folder and Outbox. Whoopee! And you can't even move emails from the inbox to a sub-folder???
And yes, I know about Touchdown. But I guess us tightwads who don't want to shell out $20 for what was already supposed to be there have to wait for the Froyo ROM.
JH2 ROM, rooted, etc. Just got my Captivate two weeks ago. Haven't been on XDA since my i-mate Jam five years ago. Good to be back.
I have an issue worse then that...
I have rules and alerts setup on my exchange to move new email to folders per user or per vendor or company, left unread. The native mail client can't handle any of that. I have since disabled all rules and have the email come to the inbox. Then every friday i run the rules at once to cleanup my inbox. It isn't to bad, but annoying. Wish the email was a bit more complex then what it is...
I have tried touchdown and it is OK. I had to remove it because it was just getting so slow. It took over 3 seconds from pressing the send button before the screen would change. It drove me nuts.
you may have to do what I did and just have a huge inbox.
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?
Coming from iPhone, I love the hardware. But, OS still seems to have some glitches. My biggest issue right not is email. My work email provides IMAP push IDLE, and never had problem with iPhone having email pushed immediately into my inbox.
Samsung or Android default email has been nothing but a headache. I've checked all the settings concerning sync include data usage > sync, etc, but the email will not sync. The funny thing is if I clear cash/data and reboot, reset the email account, PUSH will work for about 2-3 hours, then stops. It won't even pull by interval, and the only way to receive new email is to manually sync.
I've done it a number of times, and it always works for about a few hours, then simply stops. I've checked off peak schedule and any other settings that might interfere with push.
This is year 2013, and I cannot believe that a flagship android phone cannot push email consistently. This is true with my GMAIL as well. Is anyone else having the same issue? Doing a quick search, it seems like many people are having the same issue, and have given up. Having email pushed immediately is a very important feature for me, and I can't imagine android OS that's been around for many years hasn't figured this out. There seems to be no support from Samsungs's end.
If anyone can shed light, I'd really apprecaite it.
+1. I am using an LG G2 instead and all emails sync in real time with Push, no issues at all. However, on the N3 it just will not work, even after changing all the sync schedules and settings. If anyone know how to work around this, it would be awesome.

Agreed. Mine shows the same symptoms. It's like amateur night at the clown college of software engineers.

Actually, it seems push email support is just a rumor, and Samsung denies it.
What an embarrassment.
I don't get why is there a Push option if it doesn't work.. I thought it was a bug.
I've heard good things about K9 mail client from the Play Store and it has push functionality.

Not really helpful to your scenario, but I haven't had problems with push notifications using the baked in email client or with gmail.
Base email is tied via IMAP to an account on a webmail server I run.
Gmail is tied to my corporate google apps account.
Rooted on N900AUCUBMI1 baseband here.
Not that you should need a root to get this functionality, but maybe it would help?
Which baseband are you on? Maybe Push is broken in the newer build.
I've had trouble running stock on MI9, then rooted on MI1 and MI9. The type of email client doesn't seem to matter.
Odd. I am using Gmail for a few mail accounts and get quick delivery and all works fine. I have not tried the baked in email client on my Note 3, but I use it (with exchange) on my Note 2 without issue.
I guess instant mail delivery on my personal accounts isn't that critical to me but I can feel your pain.
If you are rooted, have you disabled any apps even remotely related to email?
If you are using gmail, do you have IMAP enabled within the Web client?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I am running everything stock. I haven't rooted it yet, but will eventually give it a go when the firmware matures a little.
I am able to get a quick delivery on GMAIL app. But, I think something is seriously broken with the stock email app. Most people will say that push is not a supported feature. But, it works for an hour or two, then it will stop working. Bigger issue is that it doesn't fetch emails reliably even with intervals set. The top status will say the last synced time, but the emails never arrive in my inbox until I load manually.
Given that Samsung cheated on the benchmarking score, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of Samsung intentionally disabling push and pull feature. Just a guess. In fact, when I enable everything I used to run on iPhone (location service, bluetooth, wifi, google services, etc), N3 battery life falls pretty fast. I wonder if Samsung intentionally cropped polling for push to increase battery life.
Regardless, if push doesn't work property, this phone is not ready as a business tool. I spent the whole afternoon trying different combination, and I am about to give up. The only thing I haven't done is root, but I am not sure how that would affect the situation. I am also trying to find some sort of bug report page, but haven't found one.
This is a pretty major issue as my work requires immediate delivery of emails. I am keeping my fingers crossed until somebody crack this.
Spent the whole day resetting, deleting, adding account, playing with all sorts of sync settings, etc, and came to conclusion that the default email app is a horribly broken piece of junk. Keeping track of fetch interval and the stamp of the messages shows it cannot even pull the email on time from the server.
So I installed Evomail. What a difference! The app is beautifully designed, and has no problem pushing all my emails instantly. I am not sure if I am sold on the gesture thing as you can accidentally delete emails, but the icon has taken over the stock email on the bottom of the screen permanently for now. Wish Samsung would've done a better job on one of the email app.
I’m hoping there is help me with an ultra-annoying email issue with the HTC One. Specifically the default email box is “All”. As most of you probably know this means if you sync several folders, including sent and deleted, those emails show up over and over again. If you get a couple of hundred emails a day this means you'll see them 2-3 times.
I need to sync several folders but I want the mail client to open to the Inbox. Is there a way to set this as the default open mail box? I'm going to get rid of this phone if I can't fix this. Argh.
thanks in advance.
I'm running Bad Boys 2.1 ROM on a HK Phone. All is running pretty good.
Except one annoying issue.
If I read my email on my phone, the read status is not pushed back to the server unless I manually force an Update.
If I change the Read Status on My Desktop it will instantly show on the Phone.
If I change the Read Status on My Phone it will not reflect status on the Desktop unless I force an Update.
This is happening with both Hotmail.com (using exchange) and my corporate account running Exchange 2013.
I have Push Enabled on both accounts.
I'm using the HTC Native Email app (with 2 Exchange Accounts and 1 Pop account).
I think this issue causes other problems too that if I take a long time to compose a message on the phone, such that it saves a temporary draft. Then when I eventually send the message the Draft is gone off the phone but still exists on the Desktop in the Draft Folder. It never sends the notification that the Draft was sent. Just like it doesn't send the Read Status.
I'm not sure if this is an Android issue, HTC issue or my particular ROM issue.
I suspect if I set the account to Poll Every 5 Minutes instead of Push it would work. But I really like Push.

Strange.. i would double check your active sync devices and make sure you haven't exceeded your company's device limit. You can do this through OWA go to options, then phone.
