Setting up HTC one m8 email help

Charlieboyoo — Sun, 01 Jun 2014 08:53:46 GMT

Hi everyone i upgraded my s4 to a htc one m8 and im having a bit of bother.I used the app from the play store htc transfer tool and truthfully it has been a bit of a nightmare.I managed to get my pics and contacts transferred but not the texts messages.Then i had to spend hours trying to find a way to do it and i found an app to solve it.The problem im having now is setting up my email account.I have it set up but i can check my old emails.For some reason i can only see yesterdays.Anyone any ideas?Truthfully as nice as the phone is is turning out to be a bit of a curse.In two minds here to return it.Thanks

Hi

I'm not sure if this is your issue but when I first started setting mine up I chose IMAP instead of pop3

I would if it was me delete the email settings and go again.

Good luck.

I'm using yahoo through Bt mate and some of us here are having these issues.

I get late e mails or batches of them when someone replies to one of the posts I've replied in. For example I should have for one for your reply but none has come through.

Some think it's the lithium software here.

I know Bt are moving away from Yahoo and setting up BTMAIL but mine has not been moved over yet.

E mails from other places to me seem to come through fine though.

I downloaded a yahoo mail app and it works on that.The htc mail app is rubbish.

I use the htc app without any issues.
In the app settings you have a section called sync, send and receive. Make sure you choose your desired download options in there.

MI5 by any chance do you know have to put personal message tones instead of the default ones.I dont have a clue and checking online not giving many answers.

You can either connect it to your PC and drag them into the notifications folder or I use Zedge. Some good tones on there.

Good heads up @jonsie

I use Zedge too as it's not a subscription service etc.

Apple dared to remove my tri~tone alert sound from iOS 7. 😞

Cool,thanks for your help.im actually starting to really enjoy the phone now.Just a bit of a curse to set up.

On the HTC they need to be in the Ringtones folder (for calls) or notifications for text message, email alerts.
I use es file explorer to copy and move files between my phone and SD card and place them in the correct folders etc.

It's more raw android than Samsung give you so that's why it appears different.

Many curse the Samsung TouchWiz interface but it's not until you use a different system that you realise that some of the stuff Samsung do make things really easy.....
