Good shout on K9 Dom, like it and solves my email issue. ONLY problem for me is that the widget icons you can have that will show the number of unread on the home screen will only do it per inbox, not collectively over several like the standard built in email. | |

flash the RRU rom (completely stock rom from Samsung) for gingerbread, will wipe everything on the phone. XDA developers is your friend for the rom and how to flash it. | |

If you do a Google there are a few forum threads about users having problems with the updated Touchwiz email client (if that is what you're using). | |

I don't mean in the setting where you click on factory restore, I mean punching the code in that makes the screen flash black and red and basically reinstalls the system to how it left the factory. EDIT: *2767*3855# This one, I dare someone to type it in. [Edited on 24-10-2012 by Brett] | |

quote: What email client are you using (i'm guessing it's not Gmail rather the Touchwiz client)? POP3 based? Is it up-to-date? Was the ICS update official? OTA? Best bet is to have a look on XDA Devs or Modaco; it's doable but if the baseband has changed (likely) then it's going to be a PITA. However i'd do a factory reset first, go through adding your email accounts again and see if that sorts it before peeing around with downgrading. I'd also recommend trying the K9 email client (from the Play store), it's pretty decent are certainly better than the Touchwiz client. | |

I'm wondering if I just do a hard reset if it will restore it to how it left the factory. | |

Yes, you can. How you do it is another topic all together. Google is your friend | |
