Email retrieval nuisance "feature"

After installing OS 4.2.1, I have the following strange situation with mail. If I delete several "new" emails, the phone goes out and retrieves the equivalent number of very old emails that are stored on my email server. It's now going back to March of 2010! Never did this with the old OS. Any ideas on how to stop this annoying feature?

I have had a similar problem in that old emails are reloaded onto my iPhone as unread emails. Usually the emails are several weeks old and this occurs only with my POP mail, never my yahoo or Exchange mail. It does not seem that Apple has a fix for this.
Although, my problem has been going on for at least a year, maybe longer. I don't really recall. I recently added a couple of other email accounts and it is really become a problem just due to the number of accounts I am working with. Still a nuisance whether its one account or seven.

Bug with automatic email retrieval (don't want to ...

Please tell me where to report bug?
When I set automatic email retrieval on my N71 after retrieving email phone stay connected and don’t want to disconnect automatically so i need go to inbox and set disconnect. Its a stupid way of automatic retrieval it suppose to connect, check mail and disconnect. I try it on my N95, same problem. It's spending battery too much. And it’s a big bug.
Best Regards.

Hi Rumcajs,
Any ideas why the connection is not lasting for the day instead of 10-30mn?
Or let me re-phrase: How can I have the e-mail client on my E75 to pick up e-mails on the e-mail server all day long and instantly as it works for web-browser or using thunderbird client? As a user I want to turn on my phone in the morning and then select the "connect all" option either on my Wi-Fi network or 3G network and then get my e-mails all day long without having to re-connect every 1/2 hour (in my case 5mn).
I'm using multiple e-mail accounts: my work account (IMAP idle), gmail and windows live.
If I select the "connect all" option it usually connect to only one of the mailbox and never to the three of them.
I usually have to repeat the "connect all" operation 3 times. Why and what (if there is one) is the fix so that the connect all does connect to all your e-mail accounts in one go?
The connect all is an option from the main e-mail screen, where you can see the icons of all your different e-mails accounts and the settings, new and help icons.
Last, it would be good to be able to use Nokia's "destination" for e-mail account. The "destination" feature work with other application and it is very appreciated to prioritise the connection (Wi-fi 1, Wi-fi 2, ... Wi-fi x, 3G) to use.
Any ideas if this will be supported soon?
Regards,
Benoit

Manual Email Retrieve being Ignored??

I am in Thailand, and I just got a message from AT&T that my data bill is $500 after 30 days. I have had Data Roaming turned "OFF" for the majority of my trip. I have Email retrieval set to MANUAL at all times.
I have turned on Data Roaming for a split second to send someone an email, and every single time, my phone repeatedly - repeatedly - repeatedly retrieves my email despite the fact that its set to MANUAL retrieve. I do not remember it doing this automatically when I first got it.
The AT&T reps (3 different ones) told me that mail WILL BE RETRIEVED NO MATTER WHAT unless I have both DATA ROAMING "Off" and "MANUAL" selected. Think that sentence over for a moment.
Either this phone is not working properly (as per basic logic), or something is very wrong. When data roaming is ON and MANUAL is set, it should NOT retrieve email unless I initiate it. Period! What is the point of a manual setting if its going to automatically retrieve?
I now have a $500 data bill. Who is going to pay it? Im sure not!

Okay so your response is "Cuz".
Guess what? Before they added the "Turn off Data Roaming" option four months ago, "the way the software worked" was to have data roaming on all the time, and people got bills for $50,000 (literally). Helpful people like yourself could have said "Thats just how the software works".
If it isnt painfully clear at this point, I am raising an issue that "the way the software works" is faulty.
As for your hindisght and equally unhelpful continuous mention of the "Manual", may I remind you that Apple brags about the iPhone being so intuitive that a manual is "not needed" and therefore intentionally does not include one with the sale of the phone. In addition to this, the day I bought mine, I asked the apple store rep if I should get the manual and he told me "Nah! The phone is meant to be user friendly, you really dont need it". Well guess what...
The bottom line is this: JUST LIKE the data roaming OFF button needed to be "added to the software" a few months ago, the software needs to be modified to NOT download "DATA" without user permission. I should be able to send an email without downloading 25 emails from my inbox against my will. This is no different than people being billed $50,000 for data that the phone downloaded against their will, and the Apple people agreed. Sorry that you don't.

Does Safari's email this page feature work with opening gmail in the browser and not in Mail?

I use gmail, not mail, as my default email client. When I decided to give the "email this page" feature a try, it only opens up a new gmail compose window/tab in safari but doesn't actually include the link to whatever page I wanted to send. Is this the correct behavior? Is there anyway to go about getting this to work? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

I have the exact same question.

N97 mini, email retrieval, and definition of "home...

Could somebody please explain what is meant by "home network" in the automatic email retrieval settings? I can't find any place to define this "home network" and I can't find info in the manual about it either. At home I'm connected to my WIFI network but at other places I'm either connected via GPRS or via other WIFI networks, so it's impossible for the Nokia to just know what my home network is.
What I did notice is that automatic email retrieval only works if I set "Email retrieval" to "Enabled". If I set it to "Only in home network" then it doesn't work.
What I really want to achieve is that email is retrieved automatically only when I'm in a WIFI network and not when I'm using GPRS.

Hi Justasking,
Availability of firmware updates is dependent on carrier and country variants. If your phone is branded (e.g. Vodafone is your carrier and has there custom wallpapers / apps etc), then Nokia release the firmware to your carrier and it is up to them whether they will work on and release the update to you. If your phone is a country variant, this means that Nokia releases the firmware to your country's Nokia, and it is up to your country whether to add their own country requirements / custom apps etc. If your phone is branded, contact your carrier for an update schedule and availability, but if your phone is a country variant, contact your local Nokia Care point and ask them about availability.

Email retrieval (pop) N95 8GB

I have configured my Gmail account and have managed to retrieve only some old email, the newer ones won't push through. Also I don't seem to be able to send email via Gmail.
It must be configured right, I've set it for automatic retrieval now but when I got the old messages earlier I retrieved them by pressing the "retrieve email".
Is it possible to have them push through automatically like I did with my old E65 or do I have to request them each time?
Thanks
David

there are two kinds of automatic retrieval, Polling and IMAP IDLE. these are not well differentiated in the software and are labeled like this:
Email notifications (this is IMAP IDLE)
Email retrieval (this is polling on a schedule)
which one did you enable? if it is the first one (notifications) then, someone please correct me if i'm wrong, this is only going to function with IMAP (rather than POP) access. you can easily enable IMAP in gmail, just like you enabled POP.
if you chose the second option, 'retrieval' then you should see new mails arrive on the schedule chosen (5 minutes is the most frequent available option on my N95-1). if this is the option you chose, then it's the right option for POP access. if the messages are failing to arrive, then perhaps there is an issue with the access point you've defined for automatic retrievals?
i've never owned an E series device, can't say anything about the comparison of how they work or why the same procedure doesn't result in the same functionality across the two devices - but i CAN say that using the IMAP protocol, and 'Email notifications' works properly on my N95-1, with one major exception.
the only issue i have is that the mail client must be connected at all times in order to receive new mail notifications. this is true of other mail clients (even, ie Blackberry email requires this, just the connection can be hidden from the user as it is a dedicated service). no problem, open messaging, connect to gmail, sit back and enjoy the inbound message notifications.... but if the connection drops for any reason (ie: on edge and place/receive a call; on 3g and travel through an area of limited/no service; etc) the mail client doesn't even try to re-establish the connection. so, if the connection is dropped you get no new notifications because you aren't connected to gmail's servers anymore. this is where 'email retrieval' might be better, because it fires on a timer, effectively guaranteeing that you won't be offline longer than the interval you've setup.
i wish they allowed both to function simultaneously: enable notifications so if you're connected you get push email; enable retrieval so if you're offline the mail client will reconnect after X minutes. sadly there's no way to legitimately do this with the native mail client.
if you're still awake after my dissertation on mail settings, i congratulate you. i'm done procrastinating (should be working), so you're safe from more long-winded responses for the rest of the night.

N95-1 ---> N97-NAM ---> N900 ---> E7-00 + N900 (I use them both)

Automatic email retrieval interval ~ E65

Within the email settings on my E65 I only have the option of setting my automatic email retrieval interval to a maximum of 30 minutes.
Why wouldn't you be able to set it much higher like down to 15, 10, 5, or even 1 minute.
This drives me crazy. Does anyone have a workaround?
Thanks,
J

It's probably not much consolation to you, but if you use imap instead of pop you can reduce the automatic retrieval time to 5mins.

Automatic IMAP email retrieval not disconnecting o...

Hiya
Have setup an IMAP mailbox with a 15 minute auto mail retrieval on my N95. Unfortunately, after it's checked for new emails for the first time it never seems to disconnect from the server and constantly maintains the GPRS/3G connection, sucking battery big style.
Is there a way to get the phone to disconnect once it's checked for new emails? It seems to work this way when using pop, but not with imap.
Is this a bug, intentional or have I done something wrong?

Deleted emails with iCloud feature

I know there is a way to view/retrieve deleted emails from the iPhone via the searchlight/spotlight feature. However, once iCloud is set up on the iPhone where can I view deleted emails as it appears that iCloud does not show up on the searchlight/spotlight feature. Am I able to view/retrieve deleted emails once iCloud is set up? Thanks!

Right clicking on a person's email address no longer allows me to "copy email address" a feature I used a ton. How can I do this now?

Hello, We use a program called Zimbra for work which houses our email and calendar systems. I used to be able to hover over someone's email address, right click, and an option would pop up to allow me to "copy email address". This feature stopped a week or more ago and I called my business tech support and they said it is not a feature of Zimbra so perhaps it is a Firefox issue. Thought I would ask. I do a lot of copy and pasting of email addresses for our job listservs and this was a helpful feature.

Thanks Barney. Yes, duplicating the file is a work around and I will use it for now. I was hoping that I could set a preference or something to have TextEdit save new files like it used to. Not sure why a redesign would limit options for saving files. That, to me, is crazy. Using the duplicating feature means more clicks to get it to do what I used to be able to do more easy. I hate "improvements" like this to an app.
I have "Documents and Data" checked in my iCloud preferences and when I uncheck it warns me that unchecking means that if I turn it off then all documents stored in iCloud will be deleted from the Mac. Not sure if I want to do that or nor. I don't like using iCloud for storage, but I think my photos from my iphoneare on there and I am not sure I want to keep those deleted off of this Mac as I use some photos for work related items and this is a work related Mac. What do you think?
I would like to try a "save as" option, but that does not even come up when the "File" menu is selected. Using the command key does not make it appear either.
And thanks for the advice about a hidden preference for iCloud. I have not found it, but I amnot sure why they would hide such a preference either.
I switched to Mac a few years ago because they were so much better than PCs. Now, they seem to be creeping into PC **** with unnecessary changes to apps that do not make any sense to me.

To change the Email retrieval logic for MSS in Portal

Hi All,
In standard MSS Business Package for employee selection Iview, under column email, manager get an option to send mail to employee by clicking on highlighted send option.
At present the option "SEND" get highlighted if the email value is maintained in IT0105 and manager is able to send mail to employee on the same email address.
Now in my scenario instead of getting the email address from IT0105, I need to get the email address maintained in transaction SU01.
And the problem in doing this is, for highlighting the "SEND" link under employee selection ivew, standard SAP code uses a
method GET_EMAIL_ADDRESS of class CL_HRWPC_SER_EMAIL in which they use a function module HRWPC_READ_CONTACT to check if the email address exist in IT0105 or not.
I can overite this check by using a implicit enhancement in method GET_EMAIL_ADDRESS based on email in SU01. But my concern is, if use an implicit
enhancement, then all the application using this method will retrieve data based on SU01 entry, instead of IT0105.
This email address retrieval based on SU01 entry is only required for MSS and it is not a common requirement.
So please suggest me a solution, so that i can get the "SEND" option highlighted only for email address based on SU01 entry only for MSS.
Also suggest me how to check the which all application are using method GET_EMAIL_ADDRESS.
As where used list only give me interface where this method is called and interface is called dynamically.
Thanks
Namit

Hi Namit,
I think your question is more related to in another forum (HCM).
This is not a portal specific question, but more or less related to function modules and BADIs.
But maybe someone else can help you on this one. I think there is no list of applications that use GET_EMAIL_ADDRESS. As far as I can remember, the only application that sends emails in ESS/MSS is this teamoverview page.
Kind regards,
Noel

Mail: email retrieval from 2 different servers

I retrieve emails to MAIL for my 2 email addresses from 2 different servers (gmail and 'workspace'). I try to keep the email on the servers to a minimum by deleting emails, but I want all the emails to stay in "Mail" on my Macbook pro. When I delete email on the gmail server and then 'check mail' in Mail, if it's not on the gmail server, it gets deleted in Mail. Under 'preferences:accounts:advanced' I've selected 'all messages and their attachments' under 'keep messages for offline viewing'. I thought this would preserve all emails in Mail, but it doesn't. What should I do to make sure all the emails I want to stay in Mail, stay there regardless of whether they are still on the servers or not? Thanks.

Email retrieval from IMAP trouble

Hi. For some reason my 5800 phone has recently stopped retrieving emails from my IMAP inbox. No changes on the servet but I have recently installed the latest firmware 50.2.005 and all applications are up to date.
The problem is I go to inbox click on Connect and it says updating mailbox, sometimes it will download the new messages and sometimes I have to do it several times. Also the connection to the mailbox is immediately droppped. There is no "exiting will disconnect from mailbox" prompt when I exit so that shows that it is not connected. Then when I try to open a new or even an old message it connects and says updating mailbox and then sometimes the email application closes, sometimes it does not do anything and goes back to message list, sometimes it will show the message with no body and sometimes it shows an error saying could not display message. After trying several times sometimes I get to see the message content. Each time I try to open the email it attempts to connect to internet as it asks me which connection to use so it is evident the phone cannot maintain the connection open.
I have noted that after some firmware upgrade now I only have the option to download headers. Before I believe there was an option to download part of the body aswell.
when trying to delete a message from phone & server it tries to do it but finally just shows a red slash on the message icon. The message is not deleted from server either.
I tried selecting messages from memory card and phone memory and tried deleting the email account and setup from scratch but it is the same everytime.
I am using the default email client. The new Nokia email program is useless because it does not support secure connections which i need to use.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I tried selecting messages from memory card and phone memory and tried deleting the email account and setup from scratch but it is the same everytime.
I don't understand what do you mean? "its same everywhere". Better reconfigure it one more time by deleting the mailbox.
I have noted that after some firmware upgrade now I only have the option to download headers. Before I believe there was an option to download part of the body aswell.
No, it wasn't there, you can only retrieve Headers.
when trying to delete a message from phone & server it tries to do it but finally just shows a red slash on the message icon. The message is not deleted from server either.
Probably the connection to the IMAP server would have dropped, the next time you connect it will be updated.
