email being deleted automatically - Desire General

I have discovered that if I leave some emails in the inbox for more than a few days, they all of a sudden disappear. After the first time, I tried keeping some as an experiment and today the ones I had kept from early this week have now gone. And they are not in the Trash folder.
I'm using POP3 not imap so they should be stored locally on the phone.
Any ideas?

When in your inbox press Menu>More>Settings>Send & Receive and then change the Download Options to however long you wish to keep emails for.

Ah! I thought that was for how many emails you wanted to download, not how long you wanted to keep them for. Thanks!

in my phone the emails all of a sudden disappear but I don't see the menus options as described running gingerbread 2.3.6

Tilt 2 IMAP issues

Hey all, I just recently got the Tilt 2 after upgrading from the HTC Fuze and I'm very happy with it. I flashed over EnergyROM "Leo" with 2.5 and have been having a great time with it.
I did notice one little nagging issue that's driving me crazy. I added my work IMAP account and set it from downloading the last three days to download all messages. I did the intial Send/Receive and it got alot of my emails, but I noticed that there were some at my office inbox that didn't make it to the phone as well as no emails in any of the IMAP folders even though I know that they should be there.
I tried looking through all the settings I could think of, messaging, email accounts, options, everywhere I could think of. I know there must be a way to do it because I flashed my Fuze all the time and it always downloaded all of my emails once I set it up.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Just an update. I flashed a different ROM today just incase that was the issue but I'm still having the problem. I haven't tried it on the stock ROM yet, but I really don't want to go back and need the emails for work.
Anyone have any ideas?
You might need to select each sub-folder in "Manage Folders" under "Tools". Press each folder for a moment or two until the menu pops up. Try this for your inbox as well. The per-folder settings supersede the global one AFAIK.

How choose several mails in Gmail?

In Gmail - how can I choose several emails in one go, to either delete them all or mark them all as read? Its bit frustrating to go throught the mails one by one... Any one knows how to do it?
You press on the tick on the left hand side of the message.
You press the MENU button while in GMail, and you get the option to delete a bunch in one go. I had this problem when I first used the Desire lol.
ok...
Thanks works great when I need to delete!
I still need to do it for those I want to 'mark as read'... there is no tick on the left!
Thanks

Either you are missing the obvious or you have some sort of messed up version of Gmail there's always been a tick on the left to select Emails, right from Android 1.0

I was using a different widget that has all mails alwaus open on the scene. Switched it now to the other u referred to.. works ok. Thanks
Slightly off topic, but related to this one.
Does anyone know how to multiple select email that has sync'd from Exchange? The standard mail app doesn't seem to offer this, or I'm going blind
Thanks

I actually decided to go back to the HTC mail widget as it gives notification for incoming Google mail... but its bit irritating as you cant choose several emails as in the above mentioned GMAIL app. Hope someone could figure it out!!
This is similar I use at moment:

There's no setup for it because it's push... probably much better for the battery than checking every x amount of minutes. You just get an email pushed to the phone when you get a new one.
That sounds cool... but how can I disable that for night time? When I got the phone there was a setup somewhere (lost it now!) where you can choose peak and non peak time updates - wonder if that can be used for Gmail?
Thanks
just turn the internet off at night time.
add the widget to the home screen and switch it to off when you go to bed.
from the home screen, menu>add to home>widget>settings>mobile data
So there's no way to select multiple/all emails for delete/'mark as read' using the HTC mail app?
I'd like to know this aswell, I havnt found a way either

no, i don't think the HTC Mail application does not give you an option to select many emails at once.
its silly really lol specially in the morning when I have around 12 rubbish emails from overnight

You can select multiple emails for deletion in the exchange mail app. Just select menu>delete and you then get selection boxes next to all your messages

Odd. New mail indicated. Can't see it.

I had 2 new mails in my Gmail. I read one, and couldn't see the other one, even though while I am in the vanilla Gmail app it still says 1 new mail at the top of my inbox. Ordinarily I would have just assumed a glitch and moved on.
Except right now I'm sitting in front of my computer and logged on via my computer. Sure enough, I do have a new mail that I still haven't read. I go back to my phone and the notification bar isn't showing any new mail but inside the Gmail app it shows one unread email. Though the view shows everything greyed out and the new mail which came today is not visible.
No refresh, exiting and re-entering or moving around the screen can fix it. I wish I could keep it like this to test what is going on, but I need to read and respond to the mail.
This is a strange one.
Same problem
I hadn't yet worked out the details, but I am almost certain that I've had the same problem. I certainly seem to see nothing new, even although the app says 1 unread.
Looks a bit like a sync error with the cloud. Anyone else got any thoughts?
[EDIT]
I just looked at my Desire and it told me I had 8 unread messages. Opening GMail it said the same in the title bar but only showed 6.
I opened GMail on my Mac and sure enough, I had 8 messages; there was nothing obviously different with the 2 missing ones.
I used Search on my phone to look for the 'missing' messages and to my surprise, they came up! So they are there on the phone, but not showing in the list? So my idea about a sync error is not so good!

Are the extra emails in the inbox, or do you have a rule which applies a label to them and moves them out of the inbox?
Good suggestion.
I know in my case (I just checked) it wasn't labelled and wasn't due to skip the inbox.
I think I may have had this once before and it is rare. But it is strange.

In my experience it happens sometimes but I have solved opening from the web browser Gmail, then you'll find the unread email. Once the unread email is opened, the notification will disappear. But maybe this is a different situation. I hope this can help you.

Yes, this happens from time to time. It's not a desire thing, it used to happen on my G1. I think it's normally a mail within a threaded mail that does it. Annoying but logging into the gmail website usually reveals the answer.
I had the exact same thing happen, not sure why it does it BUT i found the emails...
So SOLUTION/LOCATION of hidden emails are... in email app press menu, goto view labels and hit All Mail, this shows up the messages that didnt show up in the Inbox...
Hope this helps

[Q] Facebook 1.50 push notification

Hi
On Facebook for Android facebook page they announced push notification.
Some of the comments says it works on Desire, and some dont.
I cant see any push notification on my Desire. (Modaco Rom v9)
Can someone confirm that it works or not?
May be being stupid, but where should we see it, any ideas?
apart from chat, I can't see any differences.
Same here. Just chat. And can choose between notification 30 min, 1 hr ..... and never.. No option for push

And btw about chat: I personally never use it, but since this update I noticed, that it goes "online" to "offline" every couple seconds, when im on facebook on my PC. Facebook 1.5, no thanks.
Does that online without the update, FB chat is a waste of time
Running 1.5 and it's fine so may as well update
i always have my chat on web set to offline - I hope this one doesnt keep making me online...
perhaps they'll be a 1.5.1 soon to fix the missing push
Push is chat only, apparently (cause of needing to know when someone replies). Rest is still as before
i get notifications in the notification bar for comments, not sure on likes yet, this is a new feature, once clicked it sends you to the notifications tray in the Facebook app, next time i get one i'll post a screenshot

i beg to differ. Messages, pokes, etc, all are instant now. unlike before where you had to wait half a day to get a message lol.
I did say 'apparently'
I've never has a notification for a poke, only for messages/friend requests
Can't say I've noticed them coming in as soon as the email does but I'll keep an eye out. I was just going on what others have said on other forums
How is your notification settings? 30 min... 1hr??? or on Never? I don't have the "push" option. Do you?
No cause you don't get that option. Push just means that as soon as you get a message/friend request FB will push the notification to your phone. Otherwise it'll continue to sync at its selected time, e.g. Every hour
Tested it.
Still no notification at all.
Startet Facebook, and pressed the home button. But no notification. And I can see on web browser thare are people have comment on my posts.

It's not for pokes, just poked myself from my other FB account and got no notification
Did also try to send my self a message to inbox. No notification.!!
Does not get any notification at all. Only when someone try to chat.
Then I get notification in statusbar

I tried it last night after the update with a few friends. All instant
Do you not have it set to notify? I get messages/friend requests but I turned off event invites as I get too many...I get an email and a notification when either arrive

Pokes definitely not working on my phone, and there's no notification option for pokes. Only Messages, friend requests and event invites so you can't get any more unless you have the option to activiate them

[Q] k9mail push (imap idle) inconsistent

I am having some weird issues with k9mail client with push mail not working consistently. Does anyone else have this problem?
Random times during the day, mails do not get pushed to me. I can't really discern a particular pattern of when it works and when it doesn't so I haven't been able to "reproduce" the problem at will. I've also turned on debugging and have been looking at the logs via aLogCat.
For Example
Let's say I start watching the logs at 1:00pm and this was the last time anything was logged by k9mail. Then I get an email to one of my accounts at 1:10pm (I found out via desktop mail client) but this mail does not get pushed to me so I don't get notified and k9mail is still not logging anything so there's no activity by the mail client.
1:25pm comes around, which is over the 24 minute imap idle refresh time configured but I still don't see any mails being pushed to me.
Sometimes the mail finally gets pushed, sometimes it doesn't get pushed for over an hour.
Anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions?
I am currently confined to using k9mail because it allows me to reply to emails received at one account with another account without using gmail's "Send As" feature.
Thanks!

At the times you're expecting the mail to push through, is your phone on or idle? Do you notice any discernible difference between the two?

Yes, the phone is on but it doesn't seem to matter if it is on (screen on) or idle (screen off).
This would be the sequence of events:
1) The phone is on but screen off (idling)
2) I notice that I received an email through my desktop PC
3) Look at my phone, LED is not blinking so it has not been pushed the email
4) I turn the screen on and unlock it, still is not pushed
5) I opened up the k9mail app, still not pushed
At this point, I can turn the screen back off and eventually I would get notified but when this problem is occurring, it takes too long for the mail to get pushed to me and this problem really defeats the purpose of push mail.
Thanks for the reply!
newalker91 said:
Seems like you're not the only one with this issue. I would completely remove the application, wipe cache on the phone in recovery (power + volume up if not rooted), reinstall and set it back up. If that doesn't fix push, set it to poll every 5 minutes.

I've definitely seen reports of this issue. Really not sure if it's the OS, phone, or k9mail.
Here's a k9mail bug that was reported that I added onto with logs:
http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/issues/detail?id=3847
If anyone else is having the same issues, please add a comment so that it get some more attention.
Could this be the same issue described in detail here?
code.google.com/p/k9mail/issues/detail?id=4347
This issue has recently appeared on my phone as well. I had been using K9 for my work email for over a year on my Evo 4G without any problems. About two months ago I picked up a Samsung SG3 (Sprint) and installed K9 on there as well, with no problems whatsoever. All of a sudden around September 5th, I started noticing that I would get my desktop notifications before my phone would receive my emails, which I couldn't recall ever happening in the entire time I had been using K9. I had not make any network changes, system changes, or anything like that. It just stopped working as it normally did one day.
Long story short, I've been having the same issue as you described in the OP. I've tried installing and uninstalling multiple versions of K9 (4.119, 4.200, 4.201, 4.304, 4.306) with the same results.
My work email is hosted by GoDaddy (yes, they are terrible) and as you can expect, I tried getting some support from them and they said that everything was working as it should. I've also tried sending the K9 devs a few emails regarding the issue along with a bunch of catlogs, but not one of them has responded to me. Oh well, it was a great app when it was working.
Oh, and for what it's worth, I had tried setting up 3 different imap email accounts on K9, my work account hosted by GoDaddy, a Gmail account, and a Yahoo account. The Yahoo and Gmail ones pushed emails immediately, whereas the work one would only push at the "refresh idle connection" intervals.
