Email on Android

50Twuncle

I am trying to find the "sent mail", "deleted mail" and "draft mail" boxes on my Android powered Samsung and can't - I am using POP3 mail .....

I am used to a Symbian powered Nokia, which, though old is simple to understand and use.....

Could someone please help ?

Hi,

On my Samsung S2 it has a 'go to labels' button which is where my email folders are, this is on Google mail.

Mine is a "note" - using the built in email utility
The user manual doesn't help either......

Is there a special app for your email provider?

In my Desire for the general email app (that I don't use) the manual says:

To open a draft email, in the email account Inbox, press MENU, and then tap Folders > Drafts.

I guess other folders are there too.

No - not Talk Talk - It's got nothing to do with them - the problem is how do I find the mail boxes on the (standard supplied) mail system on the phone ........
I have actually set up my mail and it works !!

POP3? Yuk, what is this, 1995?

Anyway, there's only so many places it can be. First off all I'd try hitting the menu button and seeing of a folders option is there. On the AOSP email client for ICS there is simply a 'folders' icon to tap, nice and easy... why do manufacturers have to !!!!!! things up :rotfl:

On my Note, when you see you inbox message list, press on the Inbox and it will give you a list of folders

Maybe how about : get the inbox on screen - press the left hand of the buttons on the bottom of the phone - maybe a choice menu comes up one of which is folders - open that.....

Surely you should be using IMAP if you want to see the folders on the server? POP3 is a leftover from the dark ages and just picks up individual mails and drops them in your inbox.

OP wants to see the folders on the phone, not the server.
