Outlook wont show content of forwarded emails - any ideas?

Hi guys. I got a bit of an unusual problem.
I got an email account which is programmed to automatically forward all emails that come in to my gmail account. My gmail account is synchronised with my phone using active sync.
Now for some reason, my xperia (outlook) cannot show the content of the emails that I get forwarded to my gmail account. Its really weird. So to clarify, whenever I receive an email on this other account of mine, it is automatically forwarded to my gmail account which comes up on my phone. On my xperia then, I can see that I received a message, I can see the subject of the message, however I cannot see the actual text. If the message comes with an attachment, I can use and open the attachment but again, I cannot read the actual message.
I have tried a couple of things before I decided to post here. The first thing I tried is to change my active sync settings from receiving messages in "plain text" to "html" - didnt help. I have also made sure to tell active sync to always download the "whole message" and not just parts of it - didnt help.
Then I reconfigured the server so I that it automatically forwards the emails to my yahoo account (instead of my gmail account) - didnt help, on yahoo I had the same problem.
Interestingly, when I access gmail on my computer and forward one of these emails that the xperia cannot read from my gmail to my yahoo account and then access the email from my xperia on the yahoo account - it works.
Has anybody any ideas what the reason could be? To clarify right away, I cannot access my other email account directly from the xperia. It needs to be done via this "forward messages automatically" rule.
I would be appreciate any help.
Amano
no ideas anyone? I really need to get this sorted somehow. Sorry for unnecessary post but I cant let this thread disappear without an answer.

[Q] Gmail sync issues

My gmail account hasn't synced in two days. Just gmail. Google contacts and calendar sync just fine. I'm not getting notifications about new emails. However...if I launch the gmail app...it shows new mail in the inbox under labels. But I'm not able to view the new emails in the actual inbox.
Anyone experiencing this as well? If no one else is having this kind of problem can you suggest a fix?
Sidenote- I thought about deleting my account from my captivate but I get a notice that I have to do a clean wipe in system settings to do so.
Help please!?!
I have been getting this for awhile even before ther recent update. (Im on the Desire)
HELP!

Try going to settings manage apps and find gmail and clear the cache - you should be good....

[Q] Contacts sync is not working properly

I have contacts on my phone most of them don't have email accounts they are just phone numbers. When I try to sync my contacts to the gmail account on my phone none of the numbers show up in my gmail account contacts listing. However, if I have contact phone numbers in my gmail account and do a sync, the phone numbers come to my phone. Basically, it is like the sync is only working in one direction. How can I fix this?
I'm fairly confident the sync does only work in that one direction...someone else correct me if I'm wrong?

when you add a contact on your phone, you have to choose "google" as where it's saved or else it won't sync to google

Ok, so how do you add the google 'g' to contacts you already have on your phone without just recreating them all?

I am not in front of my phone, but there is an option to export all contacts to a file and then an option to import them. I imported all my mine and added them to "phone" so i could add custom ringtones.
You may be able to add them all to google on the phone the same way.
There is also a market app for exporting contacts to csv - you may be able to do this then import through google on the desktop. YOu can use the linking feature to link phone contacts to google contacts.

Backup HD7 contacts to HOTMAIL

hi i have a problem here
I use to save new contacts in the HD7, assuming it will update the HOTMAIL contacts database when i sync the account
but now I look that it doesnt sync the contacs to my HOTMAIL account and also it erase the contacts (from HD7) that i dont have in the HOTMAIL account
how do i can solve this?
i mean, i dont want to be updating HOTMAIL contact list one by one....
WP7 is starting tu upset me
Is hotmail the only email account you have it set up for? Exchange, Gmail, anything like that?
Either way, go to Setting --> Email and Accounts -->Windows Live and see what is set up to sync.
I have 2 hotmail accounts one for the contacts that i dont use for email
and one for the email...
but in no one update the contacts...
in the "primary" (Contacts) one... it only have the option to sync email

When you Edit a contact, it should give you an option to choose which account the contact you want to edit is from, provided that you have multiple contacts linked up and sync'd to multiple accounts.
If you only have 1 account that sync contacts, your phone should automatically be editing that contact on that 1 account, and it should update to the server almost immediately.
If you have no accounts that are syncing contacts (including no initial Windows Live ID tied to the phone), then your contacts will save to your device.
At least thats how it is supposed to be working.
I've never had any issues syncing to my Hotmail Contacts account. It has worked flawlessly since day 1.
I've never had a any luck syncing contacts to my hotmail account. I even lost 75% of them cos i got frustrated and decided to flash my phone regardless.
My friend uses hotmail to sync his contacts and he was saying yesterday something about him having to log on to his hotmail account on a desktop pc before his contacts would sync. I'll try and find out more about what he meant cos it didn't make much sense to me.
I use my gmail account to sync contacts now and I must admit it's been flawless. ever contact I create on my phone gets synced to my gmail account. Who'd have thought that would work better than MS's own hotmail?

[Q] Contacts, mail, link sync

Hello there,
i am just trying to figure out how the lumia 920 works and got problems with the syncing of contacts etc.
i conected a microsoft account and the settings just say sync emails.. but obviously they sync contacts etc as well.
now my outlook.com people thingy show not the same stuff as my mobile phone.
got both connected to facebook and google.
but if i change something in google it doesnt show up on either of the machines.. so i used to sync a couple of times till my new google contacts where suitable.
so does the linking and syncing not always work on outlook.com and wp8

Google and outlook contacts are kept separate. Changing a contact info on google will not affect the one on outlook and vice versa.

But why is the information on Outlook.com different to the information on the phone?
Sometimes the links sync. sometimes they dont.. sometimes i cant see the same contacts anyways.
And google info is not synced on outlook.com after i changed it.
you can edit on the phone the gmail contacts but they will not change on outlook.com.. on my side at least

Google info not changing is CORRECT. Although contacts are linked, they are treated as separate contacts. Editing an outlook contact will not affect a google one, even though they are linked.
As for why the info on your phone is different, it could be that your phone is displaying info from your google contact instead of from outlook.
However, I will admit sync is buggy. On my phone, contacts will sync, but sometimes, the phone number will not be synced to the phone, resulting in a black contact
The problems are worse on win8.but doesn't ur phone offer the option to edit on google ?from outlook.com i know its read only on google and also just on the first sync.really annoying

Hmm? I don't really understand what you wanted.
If you want to edit a google contact on your phone, it is possible. Unfortunately, my phone is still under repair, so I cant give you a step by step guide.
