Email Force Close/All emails go buh-bye

[tfleming23]

I have had zero issues connecting my Droid with my corporate exchange client, which has been fantastic and refreshing, however, in the last week I have had email tell me it had to force close 3x.

Each time it does, when I go to re-open everything is gone, it goes back to the sync an account/enter email address set up. Each time I do it on the far left the bars are a different color (what does this mean), right now they are the color of this smilie .

Anything I can do to stop this from happening? Are there other email apps that might work better and have this not happening? I keep 2 weeks worth of emails on my phone so when something like this happens it is not a quick fix to get back where it was.

Thank you for any help on this

I have not experienced this issue but another Droid owner in my office has lost his exchange settings several times.

Like I said, when using the vanilla exchange setup on the Droid I was fine, but I wanted to have use of tasks as well so I went with Touchdown, it works great. You can give it a free 5 day trial and see if it will work for you.

I've had mine about 2 weeks and it has lost it's exchange mind 3 times. I have a client with one that has had this happen at least once. While I haven't heard about the force close part of it. It just seems that the exchange settings disapear requiring a re-sync of all the exchange "stuff".

So far hasn't happened at a critical time for me but I have to assume it will in the future.

I'm also surprised by the lack of similar issues being posted around???

I've had mine for almost 2 months and had no problem with 2 email accounts set up (work and Comcast) until a couple days ago when I started getting the Force Close error. After some research, there is speculation that it has to do with an attachment that is too large (don't believe that since I regularly get 5M+ attachments all the time) or a bad header. Anyway, the "fix" is to go into Applications and filter Running Applications, choose the email app and do a Clear Data. You have to then readd the accounts. This worked for me, even though I had tried removing the account and readding it earlier. There must have been something corrupt in there.
