Is there such an option for the native email client built into Froyo?

For example, I might send myself a document to the phone via email, and it won't come through straight away. Sometimes I need that option to check for new emails.

There's no obvious refresh option in the menu.

If you go into the Mail client, go into the mailbox you want to check the mail for, then press Menu while you're looking at the Inbox, there should be a Refresh option on the menu bar.

That definitely seemed to go back to the server and check for new mail when I tried it with the Hotmail account I've got set up in there just now, as it found the message I'd sent a minute before.

  • I have only: delete, list by, move to folder, view mode and account manager. Have Samsung messed with the Email client? – bcmcfc Feb 2 '11 at 10:40

    Mine's a Galaxy S running the Samsung Froyo release, so we should both be seeing the same thing either way. When I press Menu in an Inbox I see Compose, Refresh, Search, Accounts, List By and More (which has Account Settings, Text Size and View Mode). I've only got Hotmail and Yahoo accounts on mine, and I think both these use ActiveSync, are you using POP/SMTP servers as it's possible these may have different options? – GAThrawn Feb 2 '11 at 10:47
  • I'm using IMAP. That must be the explanation, although it seems odd not to have a refresh option for it anyway. – bcmcfc Feb 2 '11 at 11:07

Is the account you're using listed in Settings | Accounts & sync?

If so, you should be able to select the account then choose Menu | Sync now.
