I'm new to the mobile phones using windows. But untill now i'm almost compleetly happy with the TyTNII.
The problem i'm having is that emails older than 3days are suddenly gone missing in my inbox . I can't seem to find any setting dialog where i can change this. Mayby i have to set something in the registry but i don't know what . So i'm hoping that someone can and will help.
I've tried to delete the account and after rebooting creating a new one but the problem still remains.
If you are using push or imap it is a settign in your server config for how many days of email to show.
No i'm using pop3 in both cases.

There's a setting, it lets you choose how many days of email to keep on our phone. It's default to 3 or 4. Thissetting applies to any POP or IMAP mail accounts, whether you are using push or on-demand email retrieval. Go to your email account on the phone, and select menu|tools|options or soemthing like that. choose the account, and edit the settings for it (it like a few pages into the "setup wizard" for the account)...
Go to Start-Programs-Messaging-menu-options-tap on your email name in the box-next-next-next-next-next-and finally the drop down menu under Download messages.
First of all i would like to thank you for your advise but i've been looking for such a setting myself and could not find it. Not even under the advanced button!
the only setting witch has something with day is :
Download messages from the past xx days or all messages.
As i understand it this has to with downloading and not with messages already downloaded right?
That is the setting. Perhaps it's poorly worded. but if you say "download emails from the last 3 days", then it will remove emails from your phone that are older than 3 days. So as time goes by, messages that download one day will be removed from the phone 3 days later. They don't get "deleted" from you rmail system, just removed from your phone.
It's a strange way to name a setting like this indeed. But i think i get it now and i'll go for the setting all messages than. I want to controlle the way wich email to keep and wich not!
Thank alot for your help
I have an AT&T tilt. It seems like whenever I get an email and I check it on my Tilt, if I move that email from the inbox into its appropriate folder that later on I notice the email is marked as unread again.
If I leave it in the inbox this doesn't happen.
As an example, in the morning when I get up, I check all my email on my phone and then move them into the appropriate folder. But by the time I get to work and check my email on the computer I see that all the folders that I moved the emails too are bold and show that there is an unread message in them. When I check those folders I see the the unread emails are the ones I checked on my phone earlier in the morning and that I already read them.
This is probably something really simple, but it's annoying and I don't know how to fix it. I'd appreciate it if anyone could help me out. Thanks!
BTT
Anyone have any idea on how to fix this? Thanks!
Please? Anyone?
(Exchange) It's because in the AS settings you chose to have your desktop overide your device. This is popular because on older model ppc's with volatile memory if your device died you'd lose evrything when you resync'd via wireless sync with the device overiding the desktop.
(Hotmail, Yahoo, etc...) This also happens because the mail host overides the device. The only way to make the email stop is to perform the read on the host account site.
Thanks a lot for the explanation. That makes sense.
I've been trying to find a way to fix this...
Is there a way or a setting somewhere that stops the Tilt from downloading messages I send/reply or is that a setting a gmail. It is annoying when I reply to an email using the gmail web interface or with outlook on my PC, then my phone will download my mail as a new message. I don't really want to set up some sort of filter, since some times when I send an email, I will CC myself, but I am just annoyed by it downloading every single reply.
Uuuuuhhhhhhh o.k.
stop CC'ing yourself, just check your sent box... too simple or not complex enough a solution?

Did you read the problem or not understand it? The problem is when I reply to emails, the Tilt will download it as a new message. Where did I state that I CC myself all the time? What does checking my sent messages have anything to do with what the Tilt is downloading?
little snippy...
Pretty sure you not only said it, but now you've highlighted the fact that you sometimes CC yourself on emails sent, so yes, you would receive a copy. You would check your sent box to view messages that you have sent rather than CC'ing yourself. Mighty snippy for someone asking for help. Are you using a threaded version of Gmail? that's the only reason I could think you would receive a copy of the conversation, aside from CC'ing yourself.
If you read it, it says SOMETIMES. My problem is EVERY email reply gets downloaded. The CCs aren't a problem and not something I am complaining about. I am complaining about all replies done by me being downloaded as a new email. My response to you would have been different if you actually replied like you read it what the problem was.
updated after you posted
Trying again, are you using a threaded style of Gmail or the true Gmail website?
Not really sure. I rarely ever use the gmail website unless I am at a different computer. Most of my email comes to my phone and PC, which I remote into during work and just use Outlook to respond if I can. I'll try to explain the problem better. I apologize, just having a hectic day at work.
When someone emails me, the Tilt will download the email.
I will reply back using the tilt, or Outlook on my PC, and every once in a while, the gmail web interface. NOT CCing myself.
Tilt then downloads again, my reply and puts it in my inbox.
The only time I CC myself, is when I send out a new email that I feel is important. I do this because I like to have a copy for myself, and I empty my sent box on a weekly basis.
Also, I just did a web search on this threaded gmail thing you were talking about. It appears that is a 'feature' in gmail and it can't be disabled. It puts my replys in a 'conversation' style so it thinks that my replies are new messages and just downloads them. I guess I just have to deal with it.
More questions
Does ONLY the tilt capture all replies or do they also show up on your box at home and is this independant of from where you reply (home box or tilt)? Gmail uses a conversation view that shows reply messages as a long conversation would appear in MMS/SMS. I can't imagine that this would cause the problem but may be another piece to this puzzle.
Don't worry about my comments, I'm a smart-ass. Pretty much everyone is here to help and there are many more smart-assier (and just plain smarter) than me. Just roll with the punches and enjoy the website.
I must type slowly
I use Gmail and reply from my tilt as well, but have not had a problem. But i don't use a web app, I have gmail as a separate account that I access just like standard push-mail. What way do you use gmail?
Same problem
When I used my tilt I was having the same problem. I would send an email from my tilt (from a push account I had set up on the phone) and would receive a copy of the sent mail as a new message. I had that phone for 2 years and used various roms and could never stop it from doing so. It was very annoying to say the least. Some light on this matter would be awesome.
If I can, I just use email from the phone, or outlook on my PC if there is a large attachment. It only does it on the Tilt. My outlook on the PC is only showing up the emails from other people, and not myself. I can see on the web interface my replies though if I log on.
I have it set up on the Tilt as an account as well, so I am not using the gmail interface thru the phone. Not sure how I have it setup or if it is a seperate email software. I just click on messages and added the email account. It doesn't matter where I reply from. I also have a Yahoo account set up and it doesn't do this.
Also, the phone info:
Duttys WM6.1 build 19700
radio 1.65.14.06
I had this problem once and I was because I forget to change the "[email protected]" that I used during the initial setup back to my actual e-mail address.
I just fixed the issue. I deleted the account from the phone and recreated a new one and set it up as IMAP. I think the issue at first was because I had it set up and let the phone download the settings for me and it configured it as POP. This time, I set up everything manually and tested it out and it appears to be fine now.
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.
My new droid 3 is bringing in ALL of my gmail. This phone was just turned on a few hours ago and it has brought in the history of my gmail account, 29, 311 emails.
I see no way to "delete all"
I would like to know if I can delete all of them for I surely do not need many years of email on my new phone.
Is there a way to pick and choose who I want emails to come from to load on phone?
My gmail has been set up for years to come into my computers Windows Mail.
I understand on Gmail site as well as my computers windows mail that I can make folders for mail to dump into.
But even it would have placed all this mail into folders I would still have to clean
them out.
I only wanted it to bring in the mail from today....forward
Log into gmail via the web, hit the top checkmark box (not in your email, but above it in the toolbar looking thing). A bar directly below will pop up saying all 50 mails have been selected; next to that there is a link that will select every email/conversation, click it; now you can hit the toolbar archive/delete/move and everything will go with it.
Cheers,

If I was to do this while logged into gmail.com then it would delete my gmail history. I am not wanting to delete from the server itself, just off my phone. So point being I got the phone yesterday and it brought in the email from many years. Silly!
How can I get all this email off my phone is the question and just have current stuff coming in?
I was under the impression that the Gmail app only synced the last 4 days by default. You can change the sync settings by going into the settings menu and selecting your gmail account and then go to sync inboxes and labels.
Seriously though, 29k emails in your inbox!?! Hate to say it but you really should use some labels and clean out that inbox.
29k emails sitting on a server is nothing. It has a search area. why would I bother with that ..they are just sitting there, and I don't read online. I understand they were supposed to sync last 4 days. that is the point. Why do I have so many, and how do I repair this as sync is not working, nor was it with my first droid.
Also it brought in contacts etc that I deleted 2 years ago, after I got rid of first droid! How did it remember that. argh
