Email and Contact Issues

My emails are not coming through to my phone unless I manually refresh. I have three accounts setup (Yahoo! and 2 school email accounts). Both school accounts, when I sign on from a computer says something about Outlook: one says Mircosoft outlook and the other says Outlook live.
I contacted my school and got the correct settings for each account. They work because I get the emails as long as I manually refresh. I initially had my phone set to check for mail every hour but after realizing it was not automatically doing this, I set it for every five minutes. That still didn't help.
Out of frustration, I called Verizon who told me they knew nothing about such an issue. They connected me to Samsung who said the same thing. Apparently they were both lying as I have Googled this issue and see that it has been posted since Sept 2010. I just have not noticed a solution (possibly overlooking it).
The solution that they gave me was so a hard reset (didn't work), delete then re-add the accounts (didn't work) or use a workaround. My response to their last suggestion was that I did not feel it was necessary for me to do that when the phone I purchased was supposed to handle email. This has been an issue since I got the phone in Nov 2010 when I switched to VZ. I didn't really notice it until this month because I was having text messaging issues which they didn't fix until this month.
Samsung ended up telling me to send them my phone and they would troubleshoot it but I had to contact VZ about getting a loaner phone as they were going to have it for a week. When I called VZ back, they told me they would just send me a replacement phone and to not send the phone to Samsung because they could have given me a defective phone. The order wasn't placed because their system was down that Friday and the guy was supposed to call me back. He never did so I called VZ a third time.
The tech support rep told me that she was positive that if I got a brand new phone I would still have the same problem because its a known issue that Samsung has yet to fix. Also she had the same phone and also some other people she worked with. She told me to make sure I deleted junk mail, sent stuff, kept the inbox down, and empty the trash and that should help. She was supposed to call me back and see if it helped (which it didn't). She never called back....that was Monday and today is Friday.
Now I'm feeling like they are lying to me because they don't want to replace my device. Then on top of that they told me it would more than likely be a refurbished device instead of a brand new device even though I still have a warranty. Should I push for a new phone or is this really a known issue with Samsung that they have yet to fix? If it is a Samsung issue, what's the workaround until they actually fix it?
By the way, Gmail works almost instantaneously. They told me to forward all of my mail there but that didn't work for my two school accounts. I don't like that anyway.
As for the contact issues, I just noticed two weeks ago that my Facebook and Twitter contacts are unsyncing themselves. I don't have all of my Facebook friends or Twitter followers in my phonebook but those whose phone numbers I have, are linked to their Facebook and or Twitter accounts but I notice that both of these accounts unlink themselves. I have no idea why this happens. I keep having to go back into my phonebook and relink about 30 people to their Facebook and or Twitter profiles. Any idea why?

In your email app, have you tried going into each account, pressing the menu button, account settings, and setting email check frequency to the desired time?
If that's not the issue, then perhaps pressing the menu button at the home screen, going into settings, accounts and sync, and clicking the background data option is the issue.
The reason why Gmail works well is that instead of polling (which is what the email app uses, where it queries the account to see if there's anything new), it pushes your email through meaning that it's virtually instantaneous.
With regards to the Twitter and Facebook issue, try going into the accounts and sync area that I mentioned before.  There, you will be able to set the SNS sync interval and sync the contacts, birthdays, and whatever else it allows.  You'll probably have to click on each of those accounts to check various options before it will autosync.
My frequency is set to every 5 mins. That hasn't worked. 
The background data sync option is clicked already.
The Twitter and Facebook SNS syncing is set. I have noticed though that sometimes when I go in there, the sync arrow is red by Twitter and Facebook. I uncheck the box and recheck it and then it turns green again. What I don't know is why it randomly turns red in the first place. I'm assuming this is the reason the Facebook and Twitter stuff unsyncs itself.

  • Need Icloud HELP!!! 2 email and contact account pulling from one ID

    My wife and I have the same apple ID and when I set up Icloud it insist on us recieving the same email and contacts even though hers is entered under her email???

    You can use the same iTunes.  The only minor issue is app updating.  Each purchased item is permanently associated with whatever ID was used to obtain it.  IF you choose to update an app from inside iTunes and your logged in to the "wrong" ID, it's necessary to log out/in to update the app.
    It's easier if you do your updating directly to the iPad and let it sync the updated items back to the iTunes library.  There is no need to log out/in but you do need to know the password.  In my case, both passwords are deliberately identical to make things easier for us.
    On the other hand, the sync operation does not care what ID was used to obtain the app.  All apps (and music and movies and TV shows) are synced without regard to the ID that was used for the purchase.
    Be careful with TV shows.  Apple offers a lower-cost upgrade to get all shows from a given year.  However, the dollar cost of the upgrade is based on the shows purchased with whatever ID you're currently logged in with.  Simple solution - get all shows from a specific series with the same ID.

  • Calendar Sync not working - email and contact sync working

    Hi,
    my company's exchange activesync is working for email and contact but not for calendar. there is no single meeting in my iphone calendar. when invitation arrives, I get alarm and I can even see invitation on phone and can accept it. it then goes into calendar but gets removed soon after (after it gets sync with exchange I guess).
    I know that multiple issues like this have been discussed in this forum but could not find similar. My IT guy telling me that it is iPhone issue as it is only one global object and my email and contacts are working.
    BTW, other iphone users have same issues.
    Any comments? is this because of 2.2.1?
    thanks,
    Sam

    were you able to solve this? i too can sync mail and contacts but not calendar...
    so far i have recreated my SSL
    rerun the internet connection wizard
    tried it from my ipod touch running 2.2.1
    tried it from my dev iphone 3g running 3.0b5
    tested and CAN access everything via outlook and OMA
    can add an appointment via iphone, it appears in Outlook, but cannot add from outlook and sync
    have deleted every single appointment/event/anniversary then added one to check for corrupt.
    everything worked fine until a few days ago when the dev iphone had 3.0 installed on it... at first, the calendar was all i could get to sync, we had some interesting firewall setup that was causing confusion for a few things, in an effort to make life easier on the dev phone, the firewall was simplified (removed double NAT). but, in the process of removing and adding and removing and adding my Exchange info, i gained the ability to sync my contacts and mail, but lost my calendar.
    i do not think 3.0 is the exact issue, but i do think it may have caused some kind of problem with exchange or activesync which others have apparently been able to cause with 2.2.1.
    any verbose suggestions are appreciated... i've spent the last two days pulling out whats left of my hair and trying to find someone with a Windows Mobile or other Activesync device that's not iPhone/iPod to test looking for clues. thanks.

  • Emails and contacts information is missing

    I changed computers today and logged into Verizon to set up Outlook Express on the new machine. all of my old emails are gone; as are my contact information. it had old stuff saved from three years ago but nothing recent. Help? how do i retreive my messages and contact info now?

    Anything in Outlook is stored on the individual computer. It will not be stored on the website anywhere. You would need to Export all your emails and contacts from your old computers outlook program. Then take the file it creates and Import them to your new computers Outlook.

  • Clearing Old Emails and Contacts

    I have an old Bold 9870 and now use a Z10. I need to clear all the emails and contacts from the Bold so I can load a new Sim and let someone else use the phone. I cannot see how to clear all the emails from the server or how to prevent the new user reading all my emails and coantacts.
    Does anyone know how to do this?
    Many thanks Steve

    You'll need to do a security wipe on the phone. 
    On your homescreen, follow Options>Security>Security Wipe OR Options>Device>Security>Security Wipe, depending on which OS your phone is running. Once on the Security Wipe page, follow the instructions to clear the phone of all personal data.
    Let us know if that helps you.  
    - If my response has helped you, please click "Options" beside my post and mark it as solved. Clicking the "thumbs up" icon near the bottom of my response would also be appreciated.

  • My iPad opens my husband's email and contact. How do I change identities to me

    My iPad opens my husband's email and contact but not mine. How do I change the identity of my iPad

    I'm assuming you and your wife have different accounts and that hers has somehow been used in the setup of your devices/computers.  (If you are both sharing one account, then you should consider using separate ones for icloud, otherwise everything you do will be shared with your wife.  You can use the same account for itunes to share your purchases, unless you have already made purchases under separate itunes accounts, in which case you'll need to continue doing that.)
    On a device, go to settings>icloud and scroll down to the bottom of the page and tap delete account.  This will remove all icloud data from your device.  Then at the top of the page, log into **your** account and all your data from your account will download.
    Also, settings>itunes and apps stores, log out if it's the wrong account and log in using your account ID.

  • Can't open email and contacts after changing email address in iCloud

    I changed my email address in iTunes and iCloud and now I cannot open email and contacts.  The beachball appears and after about 2-3 minutes I get a message that the program cannot open.  I'm ready to throw my iMac out the window.  It is only a couple months old.

    Back up all data.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

  • Lost my work email and contacts on my 4S

    I got a new Iphone at work and own the 3G for personal use. My work phone was all set up with email and contacts and I decided to bring in my personal contacts, music, etc to my new 4 S Iphone. All my work contacts and email are now gone.
    How do I get that information back?
    Also my phone has all of my kids friends phone #s in it because Itunes put them there. Is there a way to look at your contacts on I tunes and delete people you don't want on your phone. I need to delete 200 of my kids and wife contacts as they have come onto my phone.
    Thanks for your help!

    All iDevices can be synced with one, and only one, computer. If your 4S was set up at work, that's the only omputer you can connect it to. When you connected it to your home computer iTunes warned you about the on sequences of doing that. You went ahead, so it synced the 4S to your iTunes, erasing everything else.
    Sync it to the computer it was originally synced with.

    How do I get my Hotmail account to synch with my droid.
    If I delete an email on my computer --- it still shows on my phone.  If I delete an email in my phone....it does not update on my computer.  I am hitting the refresh but guessing there is something else missing.

  • Email and editor issues

    I am having several issues with Elements 11.  I cant e-mail photos using the share>e-mail, i have tried to use the adobe e-mail service but it doesn't work and does windows live even work anymore?  when I am in the organizer and want to do a full edit it will not open the picture in the editor, it does open the editor but not the picture.

    I'm sorry you're having problems with the email services.  The issue you're describing is related to the timeout feature of the website; for your security, the website will timeout and require you to login again in order to access information and/or process a request (such as sending an email).  The issue of the timeout comes into play when writing a long email or allowing the page to sit without making any movement or changes; typing in the email window does not constitute active movement.  What I would suggest is that when writing a long email, use a word processing program (like Microsoft Word) to compose the email, then sign-in to your email account and copy/paste the message.  This way you will not lose your email or have to worry about the timeout feature.  Also, if you have email programs on your computer (i.e. - Outlook Express, etc.), you can configure those to work with the Verizon email service so you'll no longer have to login to the website for access.

  • Import emails and contacts from a .pst file

    my computer crashed and I was using old microsoft outlook. I have a carbonite .pst file ready to import into Thunderbird but I cannot figure out how to do it because I do not have microsft outlook on this new computer. Only the carbonite file.

    It is not at all difficult to have mutiple mail accounts in Outlook (though you may only have a single Exchange account).  The OST file is only for offline sync of a mailbox ("Cached Exchange Mode") and should only exist on portable machines that need to access existing mail without having access to the Exchange server (eg, read and reply to mail on an airplane).
    As to why he has outside email synced to the computer, he's the CEO.  You wanna tell him no?  I would love to, but such a thing would get me fired.
    It does make sense that the sync of calendars and contacts doesn't affect mail, but it's not completely correct.  The default data file chosen for mail delivery is the data file iTunes chooses to sync contacts with; thus, it absolutely does affect mail delivery.
    Please stop referring to the OST file as a mail destination - it is not, and cannot be.  The default mail delivery destination is currently the PST file, which allows him to sync his contacts and calendars from that same PST file but removes mail from the Exchange server and deposits it in the PST.  If I change the default delivery location back to his Exchange mailbox, his mail goes to the correct place, but he loses access to the PST's contacts and calendar from his phone.

    Hi all,
    I want to get the contact number and the email of the employee.
    How can I get it, from which infotype it is mainatined?

    HI,
    you should maintain it in IT0105 with subtype 010 for email, for contact no you can stor it in IT0006 and also create another subtype in IT0105.
    create subtype  : SPRO > PM> PA> COMMUNICATION> Create communication type.
    once you store the information in respective fields, you can get the report through ad-hoc query.
