Help Email Getting Mixed up Between Accounts

[Sparkslord]

I have Gmail and Yahoo Email Accounts. Yesterday some of my Yahoo messages showed up in my Gmail account using the Mail app on the home screen. When I choose Gmail, the messages are listed. I cannot select, view, or delete them. The same messages have already been viewed through my Yahoo account. I tried restarting the EVO. I tried refreshing the accounts in the settings. When I open the official Gmail app they are not displayed there. What can I do to correct this?

Question, are you using the stock mail app for both your yahoo and gmail accounts?

Yes, I am able to change which account it shows by tapping the the title bar. Its been working fine for the past two months I've had the EVO.

Might I suggest deleting the gmail account from the stock mail app? Then adding that gmail account to it's native gmail app?

I deleted the Gmail account from the stock Mail app. Then I set up the account again and it was corrected. If it occurs again I'll just use the dedicated apps.

I found if I edit account for mail server type, it resets the inbox and gets rid of the wrong email headers.

1. Goto Settings.
2. Pick a different server type (ie: go from POP to IMAP)
3. It will error out and let you hit continue.
4. Put it back the way it belongs.

This is a lame process, but saves time in deleting it out and resetting it completely.

spw0776 hit it right on the head. Worked perfectly for my mixed up accounts. Thanks.

There must be a step missing. I do not see a "Server Type" setting on the Settings screen.

I figured this out. You go into the mail account screen, then Menu->More->Settings.
