How To View Email Inbox folders on Gallaxy S3 Android 4
I cannot open inbox or any folders on my galaxy tablet. Help.
Hi H; Sadly this would be a completely unrelated problem. I would go to the android SETTINGS then ACCOUNTS, find your email account and remove it. Then try reading it. If that does not work, try to uninstall / reinstall the mail program you are using.
Dear All,
I am able to see all my folders inside inbox but I have to make some clicks to see them everytime. Is there an option to make them visible by default all the time in the folder tree? For eg.
Inbox
-A
-B
I am on Andriod 6.0

Hi Arvind; As far as I can tell, there are a few clicks required to open the folders in the tree.
Just for others help-
I have galaxy note 2 and only the inbox was getting auto synced, all subfolders had to be manually synced.
I found the path to change the sync settings of individual folders, it is quite hidden-
1. Click menu
2. Click settings
3. Account setting
4. Click on your account name
5. Go all the way down and press "More Settings" button
6. Click folder sync setting
this should show the folder tree structure and you can change individual folders sync setting to "push" from "manual".
I recently bought a Samsung galaxy pro. My problem is in my university mail, subfolders always indicate number of emails contain there though I have read them all. But number of new emails appear on the inbox disappear soon after opening as I wish.
Please help me how to remove number of emails appearing on the sub folders after reading.
Thanks a lot for your Thoughts!
Hi Dissahie;
Sadly I do not have an answer to your problem as I do not have this issue :(
I can see all the folders using the suggestions given above but when I want to move a message to a folder I am only given a choice of a few folders - and not the one I actually want. Solution?
Just found another forum they suggested changing the pop3 to IMAP, I did this and it auto dowloaded all my subfolders.
Hi Keyomi,
The vast majority of people do not have access to IMAP, but I am glad it worked for you. Perhaps others will find this useful.
Hi. My Samsung s3 just updated to android version 4.3 I have followed the screen shots and tried to click on the icon not the text but nothing happens??? Is this direction now different with the new update?
Thanks
Using Android 4.3, you click the three small horizontal bars at the top left of the screen (or just swipe from left to the right), select SHOW ALL FOLDERS and expand the folder you are looking for.
Keep in mind that this will ONLY SHOW YOU A FEW WEEKS OF RECENT EMAIL, depending on your settings (2 weeks in my case). Many people have only OLD email in their email folders so they will see a nice empty folder. This may be your issue.
I have another problem,
when an email comes to my inbox (ex:2 emails), I saw the number 2 on the email client icon on my android S3, but the problem is that if a new email come to a subfolder directly (using a moving rule in my outlook), the notification number didn't increase on the email client icon, so I should always check the subfolders for new incoming mail.
Anyone have a solution?
Thanks
I have confirmed with Samsung directly that this is not possible with the integrated mail app. I understand that TouchDown email app for Android does what you want but it is not free.
Hello,
i am using samsung galaxy s3 in order to get all my official emails. The problem is that now when i received two to three email in inbox. After that they are automatically remove. i means after receiving two to three email my email history going to none.
can you suggest so that i can manage this . Before that i have full record in inbox even more then fifty.
Thanks
I have not seen or heard of this behavior before. If you device is a corporate asset, let me know and I will get you in touch with Samsung business support.
Thank you for the original tip.It worked wonders.
I am using Office 365 Exchange and Samsung Galaxy 4 Android 4.3
On Feb 12 2013 Robert in the USofA described a problem I am also having.
Clicking the icon displays all the folders. There are parentheses indicating number of unread emails. On my PC I have 'rules' moving unread emails to their correct subfolders but I also have a search folder for Unread emails on my PC. Can I create a similar folder on my phone?
But the parentheses do not appear until I click on the sub-folder that has unread email.
