I'm using yahoo mail via imap, the star is used to flag a message. the only time i see that is when i have no internet connection.

Does anybody know of any way around it?i'm not sure about the syncing disabled. How inconvenient, doing the same job twice. That is, if you deleted mail on the PC, it's still there, on the phone, and the same the other way around. Does anybody know of any way around it?Īnd, finally, I've seemed to confirm that, unlike with a BB, email on the PC and on the phone are independent from each other. Does it mean that the only way to delete email is one-by-one?Īnd, finally, I've seemed to confirm that, unlike with a BB, email on the PC and on the phone are independent from each other. What else could I possibly do for enable syncing? What am I missing?Īlso, what is the purpose of these stars to the right of email titles? If you tap on them, they turn yellow, and one would think that the checked email could be deleted as a batch, but, on that screen, there is no delete option.

I went and checked both 'Background data' and 'Auto-sync', and still couldn't, still 'Syncing disabled'. Well, for the first time, I tried to email a pic from the phone, but couldn't b/c of 'Syncing disabled'. As I primarily use my desktop for dealing w/ email, I had to deal w/ it on the phone only rarely, but it seemed to work, even though every time, the mail was d/l'ed, there was 'Syncing disabled' across the top of the screen. The idea was to d/l each account's mail manually, as needed. In 'Accounts & sync'/'General sync settings', originally, I had both 'Background data' and 'Auto-sync' unchecked. Please help! I use it only for my POP3 accounts of which I have three.
