Email question

[Shofar]

New to Samsung from Htc and not likeing it.

With Desire email, the mail stayed on the device till I deleted it (2X).

With Galaxy S2, as soon as it is downloaded on my pc it dissappears from my device. Any way to stop this.????

mine stay on

how long is it set up to sync emails for??

go to email>account settings>period to sync email - by default mine was set to 1day and so they disappeared after 24hr, now have it set to 1 month so they hang around.

is this what you mean or do they disappear straight away?

My email stay. You need to check out your email settings.

Thanks for the help but I do not have the "Period to sync email" on my account settings - I have "email check frequency" but that is something different.

I will look under wireless and networks but so far no "period: - that much be why it dissappears.

or
accounts and sync, click on account under manage accounts, account settings, gets to same page

Ahh right.
I use the GMail icon, and this is not under there.

Whats the difference between using the Email and GMail apps?

ooh, too technical for me. something to do with servers and how the emails get to your phone.

i set up a gmail account when i got my s2, but found issues with emails disappearing and not syncing well when accessed on pc etc
activesync exchange email seems to keep instantly uptodate no matter where you access it, and seems to be much better for me.

Gmail is not the issue as it syncs OK - the gmail contacts don't seem to sync to the phone.

It is my POP 3 mail that keeps disappearing.

This must be a Samsung thing as I had the "period to sync emails" on my htc Desire.

There has to be a way????

This is controlled by a setting on your e-mail client. For example, in Outlook under the Advanced account settings there is an option to "Leave a copy of messages on the server" and you can specify a period of time. If this is not checked the mail will be deleted from the server when it's downloaded.

Oooo about 15 mins?

With Gmail your mail gets pushed to your phone instantly. With other mail providers you have to specify a time that your phone syncs with the server.
