My new Samsung Galaxy S2 is useless when it comes to dealing with Emails from my main Email provider . . . It picks them up but if I'm on the PC at the time . .. they just disappear off the phone and also if I was out and about and say 3 appeared on the phone screen . . the second I click on the icon they appear and disappear almost as fast. I think I've only been able to open a couple in the 2 weeks I've had the phone. It's also upset my email settings on my PC and a lot of my emails are just sitting on my server, and not coming through to my Outlook Email screen. Yesterday there were 17emails on the WEbmail server that hadn't come through.

As a result I have deleted my main email address off my phone but kept the Googlemail one that I had to register on there . . . what I would like to know is . . Can I have notifications from this Forum sent to both my email addresses i.e. my main Virgin.net one and also my new Googlemail.com one that comes through to the phone . . . this way I could keep in touch with the Forum and replies while out and about.

If anyone knows if this is possible . . please let me know how to go about adding the other email address.


Also, how do I upload my Avatar - I've tried a few times. I've chosen the one I wish to use and clicked the Upload button but to date it hasn't apperaed on my Posts?

As far as know it is only possible to register one email address with Groundspeak.
However, it is VERY easy to set up forwarding in Gmail.
Change your Groundspeak account settings to use your Gmail address, and set up filters in Gmail to forward caching related emails to your existing address using the settings tab.

Many thanks for your quick response. Just off out at the mo - but will check out the links when I return.
In an ideal world I would like to leave the email address as it is and set up forwarding from virgin.net to G'mail.
If I get my head round Gmail to Virgin I may be able to work it in reverse.

Any ideas where I have gone wrong with the AVATAR Upload??
I actually run my own Bird Club Forum and when creating an AVATAR there is usually a "SAVE" button I click to save and upload any new/amended informaiton - can't seem to find a similar button on the Avatar page???

I have my gmail address listed here, and set up forwarding of any emails with [GEO] in the title to my wife's gmail account, with the result that we both get notifications to both phones! Couple of clicks and the new caches are loaded in neongeo and we then decide....

edit - just noticed you want notifications from this forum - as I have no idea that's even possible, but if the forum does provide notifications, forwarding should be a doddle!

You can register more than one email address to associate with your geocaching account. Only one of them, however, can be selected as the 'primary' address. This is the one that any logs written on your caches will be sent to. You can have PQs and 'notification' sent to one of the alternative addresses, though.

Today I just made a new geocaching address, added it to my geocaching account, verified the new address, made it my main email and then deleted the old address from use on this site. So you can change the email you have registered here, I just did! :-)

Once uploaded, your avatar will only be seen here after you log out of (and in again) the FORUM not just GC.com

I've got a Samsung Galaxy S2 and don't have any of the problems you describe.

Try setting up your mail account on the phone using IMAP rather than POP3. That's how I've got mine setup and I have emails synchronised between my phone and 2 different PCs

Do a bit of Googling to find out how...

I'd also look at an alternative mail client such as K9 (which is free) rather than the very limited built-in version.
