Email app makes no sense to me on either sync or folders

I have 2 email accounts set to sync manually
I just set up gmail, it connected, downloaded messages and shows the (labels)
however, nothing shows in some of them even though email is sitting in them. The inbox is properly filled.
there are 4 sitting in spam, but on the phone, this one is empty.
sent items on hotmail are empty. So see what i mean?
ALSO, sync. Right now I manually click sync and nothing happens.
ALSO personal hotmail folders are missing.
I have quite a few standard gmail folders and they showed up. I added a 'test' folder(label) in gmail. click sync to see if it shows and nothing.
the phone ought to say 'connecting' but does not.
I am on the wifi and can browse, so it is connected

The email app works fine for me (i use gmail). I think what is happening is you are getting lost with the 'days to sync' option. That option in email settings sets how many days back to sync your mail. You have the option to sync all mail, but i wouldn't recommend it, i bet it would take a very long time to sync (especially if your account is an old one). So, perhaps in some of those folders, you have no mail that is recent enough to be within what your phone is set to sync. I don't use the email app anyways, i'd rather just access it through the browser (or on a computer) but thats just me. If you want alerts to when you get email, certain email services allow you to do so (i know gmail does), and its just a simple text telling you that you have mail and the email (as simple as forwarding your mail to [email protected] really..).

  • How can I make the xfinity email app my default email for my 4s?

    I have set up hotmail and yahoo email on my iPhone.  They work fine and show all folders that are on my desktop on the Iphone.  When I set up my comcast email it only will show the inbox and deleated folders.  Comcast is my main email client and I need to see all of the same folders that are on my desktop on the Iphone.  When I install the xfinity app on the Iphone all of the folders are available on the Iphone, but I can't make the xfinity email my default or primary email on the Iphone.  Any Help??

    That's correct, & why there is a separate app.

  • Nokia 1020 - email app issues

    The app does not show the email headers properly e.g. the From: header is not visible unless you click on the top line (the one in extremely thick font, evidently designed for nearly blind people) and then it shows it.
    This means that you cannot identify spam - because all you see is the email body which always looks "right". You have to click on every email's top line and check if the From: address makes sense.
    Is there any config for this, or is there another email app which works in a simpler clearer way AND which gets used in the Share / Email context too?
    Most smartphones have alternative email apps even though in most cases they will not replace the default app in the "Send To" context.
    The other thing is that the 1020's email app always downsizes images to about 300k in size, so they always end up poor quality - much too poor for seeing on a PC. Where is the config for this?
    I have spent 2 days setting up the phone and despite being a software developer for 35 years I cannot find any of these config facilities.

    Is there really no 3rd party email app for the 1020?

  • Yahoo Mail push problem with stock email app

    It is nice to see that Verizon is offering push services for yahoo mail (and possibly for others as well, I only tried yahoo) on select phones now, the Droid Charge being one of them. If you add a yahoo account in the stock email app, it configures it through "Verizon email gateway server" and the messages will be pushed to the phone just like gmail had been, and you will get your new messages almost instantaneously.
    I previously had an htc incredible and that phone did not have that feature. My e-mails were being checked at an interval that I could select, but not pushed.
    What this email gateway does is (as I understand it): 1) your phone sends your credentials to the gateway server where they are stored, 2) the server connects to yahoo mail servers with your credentials, and 3) whenever there is a new message, the gateway server retrieves and pushes it to your phone, in other words it pretty much acts as the middle man that has a notification capability. The gateway server only accesses your inbox folder and it only does incoming services. For other things such as sending messages or checking other folders, your phone connects to yahoo mail servers directly. My incredible on the other hand used to connect to yahoo mail servers directly for everything including inbox access and unfortunately those servers do not have the push capability to mobile devices.
    I got the Charge over two weeks ago and enjoyed push on yahoo for about ten days. But then suddenly it stopped working. It would no longer update my inbox even when I selected refresh through the menu. If I went into other folders, they would update and I could send emails. However, my inbox would not update. I waited a day, then I went into settings/apps/manage apps and deleted the cache and data of the mail application to fix a possible glitch. (It works on the market app when all of your downloaded apps disappear from the list every once in a while due to a glitch)
    I ended up with a blank inbox that couldn't download any of the messages. Then I removed the yahoo account and tried to readd. Now I get the "Fetching mailbox failed, retrying. . ." error and sometimes it retries for up to a half hour (until I manually stop it) or sometimes it says "Unable to connect to server" after a couple of minutes.
    Following is a list of things I tried:
    1) Set up a different Yahoo account:
    Works without a glitch, push enabled
    2) Try the original email account with wrong password:
    Gives a credential error, so password authentication is not the problem
    3) Manual configuration through selecting "Others" rather than "Yahoo Mail" in the add account menu:
    Unchecking "Use Verizon email gateway" makes it work, but without push. My phone is able to connect to Yahoo servers directly with the same exact settings
    I am pretty sure the problem is with the Verizon gateway server having a glitch with my email account. So someone in charge of that server has to go through the list of accounts set up and either reset or delete mine, so I can set it up again through my phone.
    I called Verizon support the other day and finally talked to a level 2 rep after having to do the restart, take battery out and all that nonsense. It took them a while to understand the actual situation. It's not their fault really, my problem is complicated and a level 2 rep simply does not have that kind of knowledge. They tried to connect me to Samsung representatives, which was a waste of time, because there is nothing wrong with the hardware as it works with a different yahoo account with no problems, and it also works when connecting to yahoo directly. After spending two and a half hours on the phone, and after the rep talked to her supervisor and the samsung reps to learn more about the verizon gateway server, she finally told me I was right about the issue, and assured me that they would fix it and call me within two hours.
    It has been two days, I haven't heard a thing.
    What frustrates me is that there wasn't a single person there who could even grasp what could be causing the issue. They had never heard about the email gateway, I had to explain to them. I am not mad that the level 2 rep or her supervisor didn't know, but I am pretty **bleep** that they could not put me in touch with a person who did.
    I know there is at least one person at Verizon who manages the gateway server, but the question is how can anyone contact him???
    Verizon keeps offering these new services that are really cool for the most part, but their support system is very disconnected from their engineers/technical staff. The customer service is unable to fix problems other than billing issues, and their answer for everything else is to "take the battery out and restart the phone".
    For now, I set up my account manually, without the Verizon email gateway, so I don't have "push" working. It's a shame because it is such an easy thing to fix only if I could get in touch with the right person.

    UPDATE:
    After waiting for about ten days, I tried setting up my e-mail the regular way (by selecting yahoo mail) again yesterday. To my surprise, it went through without a glitch. I guess the cache of the gateway server must have been reset.
    I have been enjoying push for yahoo mail for the last 24 hours again. But I just noticed now, that the problems might be starting again. There are recent e-mails that don't show up on my phone, but do through yahoo's web mail page. When I select "refresh" through the menu on the phone, I see the circle in the top corner spinning for as long as I wait, but the e-mails don't get downloaded. That is exactly how my problems had started in the first place. I will give it the benefit of the doubt and wait and hope that it fixes itself.
    There might be a compatibility problem with yahoo servers and the verizon email gateway because I have two gmail accounts set up with the stock e-mail the same way, both using verizon's gateway server for push, and they have both been working with no problems for almost a month. (Even though sometimes the "push" is delayed by up to 5-10 min, most of the time it is within a couple of minutes and that's fine, I'm not that picky) And when I do "refresh", ti only takes a few seconds to complete the request.
    And I still haven't heard anything from Verizon.

  • HT202213 I am told that I have authorized 5 computers already (this is my first time) and I have to deauthorize this computer inorder to get home sharing. Help! this makes no sense. What a pain Apple tv is.

    I have almost never used my appe tv--passwords and id get so confusing--it makes me tierd and I give up and walk away. But now I need to use my Home Sharing feature and am told by iTunes that I can only authorize 5 computers to do this and according to their count, I have already done 5. I have only two computers so I know this is not correct. But what can I do about it? I am told by a pop up that I should deauthorize this computer--the only one I want to use for this project--it makes no sense to me. This has already eaten up my day with reseting passwords, ids etc. I'm almost ready to throw Apple TV out. This $100.00 object has already eaten up more than $100.00 of my time! Help.

    Simply deauthorize all, then authorize your computer.

  • How can I get a search bar added when trying to archieve emails in my IPhone's email app?

    My IPhone email app is connected to my Outlook email system in which I have many archieved folders, when I want to place an email in my archieved folders on my IPhone I have to scroll a long list of archieved folders to find the right one, how can I get a search bar added to find it easier? My colleague' s Samsung has that function already and can't believe that Apple can be behind Samsung on this.

    You probably will not be able to get a refund. The iTunes Store makes it pretty clear that gifts are redeemable only in the same country, and the terms of sale say that all sales are final. But you can contact the iTunes Store and ask:

  • Why do we still have no pro-grade email app for the mac platform?

    This is a combination of a question and a rant, I suppose. When I first came to the Mac platform back in 2003, I looked to see what the best email clients were and was surprised to find nothing that I thought was really strong. I started with Mail, hated it, switched to Entourage, and then since that time  I've used or demoed about everything I can find. Powermail, Eudora, Mailsmith in years past, and more recently Postbox and Sparrow.  I find all of them sorely lacking and it just keeps begging the question in my mind: why hasn't anyone yet created a truly professional-grade email application? I honestly think there's a huge market for it, and I think a lot of people would be willing to spend $30-50 for an app that got it right.
    Right now, I use Mail with the add-ons MailTags and Mail Act-On, and  I've got my workflows and practices down to a pretty tight level. I am an adherent of inbox zero concepts/GTD and I practice them. Like many of you I get a lot of email, probably 200-300 per day.  There is no application I use on my computer more intensively than email, and yet it's the one app that is probably the most lacking from a development standpoint.
    here are some of the things I'd love to see:
    - support for IMAP, POP3 and Exchange
    - an attractive, Mac-like user interface. Could Mail get any uglier? Why yes, yes it could, we now have Mail in Lion! Holy crap, were they incentivized to make it as dull and unattractive an app as they possibly could? If so, that team must be getting huge bonuses this christmastime.
    - industry compliant tagging
    - robust search functionality. Let me do quick spotlight-based searches, or give me a search dialogue box where I can construct more complex queries.
    - robust smart folder functionality. Mail does ok here, but it could be a lot better.
    - global rules (which Mail has but an app like Postbox doesn't), and then the ability to either have the rules applied automatically to all messages, or to fire a rule "on-demand" with respect to a single selected email (in other words, build in Mail Act-On functionality)
    - integration with social media. Postbox does a nice job with this. Hit their info pane button and you see a nice summary of all the links and possible social media interactions available via that selected email
    - integration with cloud-based file storage, and apps like Evernote, DevonThink, Omnifocus, etc
    - an intuitive, flexible layout that allows me to see my accounts and folder structures the way I want to see them, not the way the app forces me to lay them out.  Mail does a much better job of this than Postbox, for example.
    - integration with industry-standard archival practices. For example, integrate with MailSteward.
    Mail is honestly not that far away, but they've been "not that far away" for the last 8 years I've been using a Mac.  I keep thinking SOMEBODY has to get this right and step up to fill this need, and nobody does. What  I'd really love to see is the OmniGroup (the guys that make fine apps like Omnifocus, Omnigraffle, Omnioutliner, etc...) step up and make "OmniMail". Give me an interface and a user experience I look forward to using, not one I use in spite of the interface. Give me a simple, efficient structure with depth and power under the hood that I can customize and tailor to my workflows.
    if any developers read this, I am begging you: create this product. I've read every email app review I can find, visited a ton of blogs, user forums, etc..., and I think there is a huge demand for this kind of an app. If I did such coding, I would take the project on myself, but I'm just a user, not a developer.
    Hope it happens someday. From my perspective, it's sorely needed.

    I agree completely; email applications on the Mac lag (and I agree with the OP's frustration with responses as well).
    I also have settled on Mail with Mail ActOn and MailTags; this functionality should be incorporated into the OS. I actually like using Outlook in Win 7 better; it's super easy to connect files, contacts, email and other stuff right from one application. And Win 7 has better preview and tagging built in, better than QuickLook. On the server side we desparately need gmail to use tags, but I don't see that happening. I still prefer the labeling scheme it has over Apple's mail, however. But I also find that it confuses many users (labels vs folders).
    There are also other applications that integrate email functionality, like SOHO Organizer, or Contactizer. Good, but not the email holy grail.
    I'd like to see communications built into the Finder or system, which badly needs an overhaul. It hasn't changed much since the 90's and shows it. Communication, whether it be email, tweets, social media posts, sharing, etc, is such an integral function of all work you do on a computer it should be better, um, integrated into all applications. You should be able to send data from any application to others in a variety of formats without having to go into an email application. Sure, you can now do this to a certain extent with either built-in menu items or services, but it's clunky. For example, when you write something you can either "save" and write to disk somewhere, or "export" in a different format, or maybe "email." All of those choices should at least be part of one dialog; it's just as likely you want to email, post, share or tweet what you just wrote, so just  having a "save" dialog is way outmoded.
    So, yeah, somebody get on this.

    when I send a 2 page email mavericks makes it 65 pages long! what to do?

    If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
    If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Email-Marketing/EBlast.html
    This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

    The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

  • Windows 8.1 email App (Metro)

    Is it possible to change the Metro email app from the default live.com account you get to an Office 365 account? I have an O365 account with my own domain which is <user>@domain.com. When I setup Win 8.1 I sign in with my O365 account - <user>@domain.com
    - and get my desktop. I also get OneDrive etc and life is good.
    However, the email app defaults to a live.com account. I cannot get the email app to sync my O365 account. The option to delete the account in the app is grayed out. If I try to add the my O365 account i get a message that the account is already added.
    Can this be changed? I have read these two articles:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/pauljones/archive/2013/10/07/windows-8-1-mail-app-without-microsoft-account.aspx
    http://blogs.windows.com/itpro/2013/11/05/mail-app-enhancements-for-the-enterprise-in-windows-8-1/
    -but none of them seems to provide an answer.
    To sum it up; how do I make my Windows 8.1 sign-in account connect to my O365 email using the same email address? I should add that my machine is not domain joined but in a workgroup.

    Hi,
    According to your description, you were suffering a problem with Mail APP sync email. You want to remove it and attach it again to fix this problem, isn't it?
    In my opinion, it's should be Mail APP communicate with your domain exchange server problem, not Mail APP itself problem. That's to say, even yor remove and add it again, the problem won't be fixed. You can try to add another Mail Account to test if the
    app could sync email successfully.
    To fix this problem, firstly, try to use ping command to ping your domain exchange server if there was any packet loss. This could help us identify where the problem it is.

  • Iphone email app size

    I see that my email app is 1.8gb while my google mail app is only 34mb. Why is the mail app size so big in comparison. Deleting emails seems to make no difference.

    I've done that and I've also logged into gmail to delete emails and empty trash there as well.

  • OSX Mountain Lion Email APP

       I have a problem with ny retina macbook pro I updated to OSX mountain Lion after update the EMAIL APP in the area when you see the new emails if you scroll up or down begins to see deteriorate like garbage then I made a click in that area and the garbage dissapear and I can see the list of emails but is so bad because if I scroll down to see old emails I can´t see nothing because I see garbage and that garbage disappear when I make a click making useless this problem the email app. Any suggestion on how to fix that issue?
       Note: Is just the problem with email app other apps and whole system are running perfect.
      Than you

    I solved doing from that link https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4145777?start=0&tstart=0
    this:
    1. Bring up System Preferences, go to iCloud and uncheck "Contacts"
    2. You need to remove the folder /Users/<your_name>/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
              If you have issues removing, quit Mail and Contacts
              If you don't have contacts in iCloud, try renaming the folder
    3. Reboot the machine
    4. Bring up System Preferences, go to iCloud and now check "Contacts"
    Now when you bring up Contacts, it should sync with iCloud, Mail and Messages will work fine.
    Then:
    After trying everything listed in this thread without succes, deleting the following finally solved my problem:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
    This solved the issue.
    Thank you anyway
