Sent Mail

Hi guys,
I'm having a bit of a strange issue with using email. I have my GMAIL account set-up, and it works fine, constantly pulls my emails through and I am able to send emails fine as well.
The problem though is that when I send an email, it doesn't appear in any of the folders on the mail tab if i go back to search for it later.
Is anyone else having this issue using GMAIL on their Diamond 2?

Perhaps you need to make sure your SENT MAIL folder is set up to synch with the server. I had a similar issue with Yahoo Mail - if you're using IMAP instead of POP, then you can (and should) set up which of the folders on the server you want to synch with. I think that by default, your inbox and outbox are the only ones that get synched.
From the Mail tab in Manila, press INBOX. Then press MENU > Tools > Manage Folders.

Thanks Jim. Syncing the folders did the trick however it has raised another issue. All the emails in my sent folder just show my email address and the subject line and not who i actually sent the email too. Is this normal and how yours looks too?

Ha! I never noticed that before! Yes mine does the same. To see who you sent the message to, you have to open the message and scroll up.
That's a bit weird. I guess by default the mail app displays the sender and subject, which is fine for your inbox but a bit daft for the sent items folder. Not sure if it can be changed though.
Interesting...

I can not confirm the issue. When i change zu the folder "Sent" (in WM-Interface), i see the recipient, subject, date and size in the list - and not the sender. Same in "Outgoing".

Help please? Nexus 1 Email troubles

Hello, I really need some help with some email problems here with my nexus 1 (att 3g vers).
It has NOT been rooted, and has android 2.2 installed (prefer to not root btw).
Anyway, the problem is in regard to the android EMAIL app (don't know it's name, but it's the icon of the envelope and yellow @ symbol in it).
I've set it up to handle my other email accounts (comcast and godaddy accounts) - not Gmail. Everything is setup finally and working fine...but for one problem...
once an email arrives, i get the notification...go to read it, BUT - then after reading it...it's then moved to the trash automatically (the trash in the email app that is, it's not removed from the server.
Driving me nuts - it's no longer in the inbox area of the email app, for each and every account). Each email just automatically disappears (goes to the trash) upon my reading it one time.
I can go to the trash folder and read, but this is ridiculous...shouldn't I be the one moving emails to the trash?
Can anyone suggest a fix here, or know of anything I can do to stop this?
I see no settings to change this...it's a serious bug.
Or...is there a better email app (one like this, as I do like the look and feel of this one built into android 2.2) that I should be using?
I downloaded K-9 email (but really hate it's look, feel and operation compared to this one).
Maybe there is something I'm not getting here though and need to change?
It's very strange that ea email would move to the trash upon 1st reading it.
thanks for any help here

also, i have tried searching this site for this problem with zero luck...
but i can't be the only one seeing this issue, right?
again: these accounts are my comcast and godaddy email accounts (not gmail, hotmail, etc).
thanks again

sorry man, I tried looking at my settings to see if theres anything I can suggest. Nada...

update to my Q:
Ok, doyeee
I think I know what's going on....
I was just setting comcast and godaddy accounts up and had the the email apps open on my PC at the same time while running tests.
When I did email tests, and having the PC email apps open for the same accounts...after they download to the PC is when they will go to the trash on the nexus email (not staying in INBOX on nexus when the PC email app has downloaded them).
This might be standard (I don't know as this is finally the first phone able to handle emails like this.
Hmm, i'd sure prefer it if all emails could remain in the inbox (or some other folder other than trash) as I can't hit "reply" once they're in the trash should I later want to reply to the same email with more info later on mobile.

[Q] E-mail Question (False notifications)

Basically, i'll get a notification saying I have new e-mail (number of new e-mails is random), so i'll slide down the notification bar, click the e-mail notification and it takes me to my inbox... where I have no new e-mails.
I've tried refreshing the inbox to see if it was seeing e-mails not in the inbox yet somehow, and that didn't do it. The only thing I can think of is that my gmail account has an [Imap]/Trash Folder now that has 36 unread messages, and those are the e-mails I deleted without reading (Spam mostly). Is that what's triggering it?
It seems to be the same number of e-mails I received recently, so I think it's sending duplicate notices. Example: I'll receive 4 emails, 2 from a friend of mine, one from a newsletter I read an another spam. I'll read 3, delete the 4th unread, close the mailbox and then 5 minutes later i'll get a notification saying I have between 1 and 4 new e-mails, whereupon i'll check my inbox and there's nothing there.
Anybody know what's going on? I'm using the default captivate mail app to check my e-mail, not the google e-mail app. The google one never gives me this issue. (two different gmail accounts linked to the two different apps so I know which one mail is coming from)

Mine does this too. It's not random though. Whenever I delete an email and it's sent to my trash folder I will receive a new email notification shortly after. If I delete 3 emails, I will receive a notification for 3 new emails the next time it syncs with the server.

So how do we stop it? Stop using the default e-mail app?
Are there other/better e-mail apps out there?

I had the same kind problems with mine, it was also slow sometimes while downloading messages.
The gmail app is good if your using gmail. If not I've had good luck with MailDroid. There are other email apps in the market you can try.

had same problem. this fixed it for me:
from home screen
settings buttong > select settings
Hit applications > manage applications
hit settings button > filter > select all
find "GMAIL" and "Gmail Storage"
For each one, click and do the "clear data" and "clear cache"
let me know if that helps

I figured out why this is happening. I recently went back to the native email app (because Yahoo! Mail for Android is brown poop, and MailDroid's ads can get annoying -- plus it's only push email...I don't like seeing I have 4 new emails, for example, and each time I tap on each item, it downloads just that email through the internet. I want my emails to be downloaded all at once, ready to be viewed. I digress...)
Anyway, the native email app shows you have X (false) new emails when you delete X number of emails because it downloads a number of (older) emails after it syncs, after you had deleted some new ones. In other words, you delete 3 newer emails, it downloads 3 older emails. Scroll down and you will see those 3 at the very bottom as "unread" even though they're old. Annoying.
Is there a way to fix this, perhaps tell the email app to not download emails older than 3 days, for example?

Here's a work around though. This is what I did. I use Yahoo! Mail* and I have thousands and thousands of emails in my Inbox. This might work for your corporate emails too.
1. Create a new folder on Yahoo! (or your corporate email client) called Inbox2 (or whatever).
2. Move all of the messages from the Inbox to that new folder.
3. Sync (Refresh) the email app on your device.
4. Your device will begin "move" the current emails away and will eventually show zero emails.
You'll be starting fresh. Each time you get a new email and you delete the email from your device, the app will have nothing to download and it won't show false notifications. If you decide to keep an email, it'll stay. When you get a new email that you decide to delete, still, the app won't have any older emails to download -and- it won't show any false notifications. It's a workaround. Hope this helps.
*I'd like to add. I've enabled POP3 on my Yahoo! Account and I'm using the native email app as pop 3. I have all of my emails downloaded as they come in. So when I'm in an elevator or in a poor 3G area, I have all of my emails (in its entirety) downloaded ready to be view without fetching for the rest of the messages.

I am using the email client for Exchange and POP3 and I don't have this problem, so maybe it is specific to something the server is doing. Gmail app works fine too for my Gmail account.

I tried what you suggested but unfortunately it doesn't work.
I think the problem of the false notifications occurs, cause the email client synchronises each folder (inbox, spam, trash etc.) separately. So when we get a new mail which goes to our inbox, we get a notification and then we go to our inbox and we find it there. When we delete an email, we move it from inbox to the trash folder. So the client synchronises the trash forder and sents a notification that we have a new mail. Then we go to our inbox but we see no mail, cause it's in the trash folder. The same occurs with spam. When we receive a spam mail, it is directly sent to the spam folder. So we get the notification of a new mail, but when we go to our inbox we find nothing.
That's the only way i can explain the false email notifications and i can't find a way to solve this annoying problem. If anyone can help would be much appreciated.

Happens to me too. Must be a bug. It only happens with IMAP and not Exchange mail. If you delete emails it will download older ones and do the notification.

[Q] Email Question.

Searched through here and couldnt find the answer.
I get two notifications per email. and it looks like its using two different programs. kinda confusing and annoying. any one got any ideas?

How about some more info regarding your setup?
There are 2 email apps on the phone that provide different notifications - gmail app, and email app. If you set the same email account up 2 times (once under each app) then you will get 2 different notifications.
What accounts do you have setup? what do you see under menu->settings->accounts and sync? Then what do you see if you go into the default email program and backout to the screen that lists combined inbox and then accounts?

Just turn off notifications on one of them. I turned off g-mail notifications.

[Q] Emails keep disappearing from my inbox

Hi
I have noticed that after a while (a week or so) the oldest read emails disappear from my inbox. Is this normal behaviour? Is this an option I can change?
cheers

Hi,
This happens to me too.
Just change the Synchronisation Settings in your email account on WP7.
For example in my Google account I have the option to download emails from the last 7 days. Chosse the time you want: last 3 days/2 weeks/last month or anytime.
Thanks

You might have sync setting set to show only emails from last 7 days.
Open your email tile,click on the little 3 dots on bottom, click on setting,click on sync settings,then change(download email from)to whatever time frame you want showing. Hope this helps

I can confirm that this exact problem is also happening to me. All my emails have gone from my inbox, changing the settings as suggested does not work. I would like all my messages to be permanently in the inbox or at least have a cached copy on the phone once the inboxes has been updated

@cpascal
What you're asking for is opposite of what "syncronizing" does.
I believe what you're wanting is a POP account.
