BIS GMail Bug!

Like many people I had a problem (recent) adding my gmail account to my Blackberry.
When setting it up on the BB the error message pop-up was "Update Failed" after entering my username and password.
When trying to set it up via the Digicel BIS I got an invalid username/password error.
I tried the CAPTCHA workaround, to no avail.
I tried disabling Advanced IMAP in my GMail account, still no progress.
I tried adding a different GMail account that I used to administer a club website and that worked flawlessly!
So, something specific about my own GMail account.
After much trial and error I tried entering my GMail account without the "." that separates my first and last name. And voila! It lets me in.
However there are still issues. It won't find my Google Calendar since that seems to insist on identifying itself with the "." in the email address, and likewise it can't sync my Contacts.
So there is clearly a BIS/GMAIL bug handling a "." in an email address (before the @gmail.com of course!)
So who do we yell at to get that fixed? It's a stupid bug that was introduced recently as I had previously used my GMail account (period and all) on the same Blackberry and it worked fine.

Since your post basically boils down to this question, here's the answer. All formal support for BB's is provided by the carriers and authorized resellers. Therefore, that would be the proper channel for pursuing your chosen course of action (though I can only wonder how they will take to getting yelled at).
Good luck!

Apple Mail and gmail bug when sending attachment?

Hi,
And now for my own Mail question. Wondering if others have run into this bug?
Mac OS 10.5 MacBook Pro.
There seems to be a bug when trying to send Mail with an attachment (via a gmail account).
Over and over, Mail just hangs there.
But it works when:
1. Using Mail, the same email can be sent when I Remove the attachment.
2. Skipping Mail, and using gmail itself, the email and attachment are sent within seconds.
2. Email with attachment can also be sent from another email service (such as Earthlink).
Only when I am using Apple Mail, sending via gmail, With an attachment, is there a hitch.
Thanks again for your attention,
- Ross

Perhaps this problem is confined to Mail 3.0 and later, and Leopard. I cannot send attachments using gmail as the smtp server. I can log in to my gmail account, download an attachment, and send, with no problem as Ross has experienced. I get an eternal hang when trying to send the same message with an attachment from Mail. Any solutions yet? Thanks!

IPhone Gmail bug

If you add a new Gmail IMAP account using the "Gmail" logo option, you don't have the ability to change the behaviors of the "Sent Mail" from the Advanced Tab. However, if you add a Gmail IMAP account using the "Other" option, then you do have the option to change the behavior of "Sent Mail" from the Advanced Tab.

The "bug" part is that if you include an IMAP Prefix and you don't have the option to set the "Sent Behavior," then any mail you compose will not be visible under "Sent Messages." It's puzzling why a creating a standard IMAP account gives you more advanced IMAP options than when creating a Gmail IMAP account on the iPhone. Also, if you sync your mail.app settings through iTunes, and mail.app has a Gmail account with an IMAP Prefix and specific "Sent Mail" behavior, none of these particulars get synced to the iPhone. Thus, you have to setup these Gmail particulars manually on the iPhone.

Curve 9360 - BIS Gmail - No reception of email

Hi!
New owner of a bb, have not found the answer to my issue on the forum yet.
I got a Curve 9360, with two email account in the BIS. One professional, and Gmail. It worked well.
For 2 days, I am not receiving any emails from Gmail through the BIS and push. I can send Gmail emails, receive and send professional emails. But I do not receive any Gmail emails anymore.
I deleted the account. setup the account again. Rebooted many times, hard and soft boot. Deleted the filters. Reconciliation is checked.
I have no more idea ... I was wondering wether this could help : http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/viewdocument.do?noCount=true&externalId=KB05010&sliceId=2&cm...
But I do not want to uninstall my professional email.
Any help is welcome
Happy friday,
Bastien.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well ... seems I eventually understood why. The firewall was activated for gmail. It is working so well that it was blocking any email.

Gmail contact addresses not syncing properly in iOS 4

Since updating my 3GS to iOS 4, I've noticed a change in the way contact addresses are entered: there is a separate field for each individual address component. The problem is that all my contact addresses are now populating the fields incorrectly. The street address line goes into the street address field okay, but then the city, state and zip all get put into the "city" field. If a contact has an address with two "street" lines, then the first goes into a "street" field correctly, but then the second "street" line goes into the "city" field, and the city, state and zip all go into the "state" field.
I use Google Sync to sync up my contacts with my Gmail account, and since address entries in Gmail are free-form, I wonder if this might be an issue with Apple parsing the address data incorrectly. It seems it's just spitting up the data into the fields using line breaks (which is quite clumsy, IMHO).
_Address in Gmail:_
12345 Sesame Street
New York, NY 10022
_Shows up in iPhone contacts as:_
Street: 12345 Sesame Street
City: New York, NY 10022
State:
Zip:
If I fix the address so each component is in the correct field on my iPhone, each address component displays on a separate line in Gmail, which looks ridiculous.
Example:
12345 Sesame Street
New York
NY
10022
Has anyone else experienced this issue with iOS 4? Is this an Apple bug or a Gmail bug?

You are not alone!
I use mobileme to sync my contacts data, as opposed to gmail... so I am unable to provide advice.
However a quick search on here shows that you are not the lone ranger:

Browse some of those pages mate and see if there are any resolutions that will work for you.

The JB installation experience and findings (possible bugs?)

MOST IMPORTANT - if you phone appears hung - leave it alone! I would personally say if it appears hung longer than 15 minutes then it probably warrants a manual reboot at that point.
I was on the road when I decided to start the OTA pull. I was on 4G and my phone switched to 3G (in an area I always have 4G) and there it stayed until the OTA update was downloaded. Took me ~45 minutes for it to finish downloading. It rebooted - ran through it's little droid robot status bar thingy. When it reached the point of "updating apps" it appeared frozen. The little circle hour glass wasn't spinning. It sat there for ~5 minutes and then the phone rebooted. When it came back up a window appeared stating "updating 3 apps". Then the phone continued to load on up. Immediately I started getting application updates available. Google+, Google (something else or another) and a few other apps I run such as Astro File Viewer.
Under the hood of JB I found they added a new contact widget which I so badly missed having from my RAZR MAXX. I immediately added that and added the new contacts. Took the dog outside to pee and when I came back the first contact I added to the widget now also populated the 2nd spot (3 spots available). So it repeated itself. I went to edit it and then it changed back to the original contact I had put there. (bug?) I rebooted and the changes stuck.
I've noticed the phone "hitches" (sliding gets a little jerky) when sliding screens when an announcement appears. This particular instance was when a new mail from my Exchange server was announced as well as gmail. (bug?)
I benchmarked ICS and the best I could get with Quadrant on a fresh boot run was ~4900. I just ran it on JB and pulled 6097. That's pretty substantial gains right there folks!
I also noticed the shutdown/plane mode/restart menu has changed. It actually makes better sense now IMHO.
Over all I'm thankful Verizon "finally" got this update out. If I continue to have minor "hitches" I just might perform a good ole fashioned restore/wipe.

Smart Mailbox rules broken in 10.9

Ever since installing Mavericks, one of my Smart mailbox which shows emails in the last week with a Rule:
Date received, is this week
shows an empty mailbox.
Is this a known bug? There's lots of discussion around the GMail bugs, but this is a different issue.

Same problem here and this was working great with other versions.

Yosemite imac mail

Running yosemite 10.10 on my iMac. Mail does fetch new emails.
Can this be fixed? How can I download a new version of the Mail app for my iMac?

My error. I had used:
https://miapple.me/fixing-mac-os-x-10-10-yosemite-gmail-bug-mail-app/
but did not realize that my Gmail account needed to be put back on line.
In the Mail app, next to the Google inbox was a small icon on the right hand side.
I clicked on it and it asked me if I wanted to put Google back on line.
Now Mail is fetching new emails correctly.

Updated Mavericks Mail, Version 1.0 (1822) has killed all accounts

I have a Yahoo account, an ATT account (via Yahoo), a gmail account and an iCloud account.
They worked fine after upgrading to Mavericks. THEN, the gmail bug fix came out and Mail updated. Now, I can't access the Yahoo, ATT or Gmail accounts.
Mail keeps asking me for the passwords and I input them. I've triple checked them directly. But Connection Doctor says they are invalid.
Everything continues to work fine via my iPad and iPhone.
I haven't paid any attention to Mail for years. It's been working just fine... All of a sudden I need to get back up to speed and, frankly, I'm a bit lost.
Any advice would be helpful.

iCloud was working, but Mail wouldn't save passwords for *other* Internet Accounts (Gmail, Yahoo!, etc.)
I fixed the problem serendipitously by resetting my keychain.

"Invalid Account. Please Validate." for Curve 9360

Facing this issue since I bought the device since last Thursday. The issue is recurring, and even the successful account setup attempt never pops up email account message box on home screen and after some time the status is same - Invalid Account. Please Validate.
I have spoken to the Starhub care but to no use. I know it's certainly not the device issue, somewhere Blackberry server or my Gmail server is at fault or I am not doing it the right way (now impossible as I have tried all the troubleshooting posts I managed to find on Google).
It's very annoying now, why am I paying only for the BBM. I need email connectivity as well.
Can anyone please help.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Did you do this sequence?
Check setting are correct in Google.
Delete the Google account from the BB.
Recreate the BIS Gmail account., then logout.
On the BB go to options advanced options, Host Routing Tables, click to enter. DO NOT click on any listing.
Press menu key, and select register now.
You will get a registration message. Then go to email settings and send service books.
Some models like the Curve 8330 and Pearl require logging into the carriers BIS site
via PC.
You will get an verification email for your gmail account.
Verify the device and Gmail are working.

UIDFolder.getMessageByUID(UIDFolder.LASTUID) throws A4 BAD Could not parse

I get a Folder from an imap store like this
          Properties props = System.getProperties();
          props.setProperty("mail.store.protocol", "imaps");
          Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
          Store store = session.getStore("imaps");
          store.connect("imap.gmail.com", USER_NAME, PASSWORD);
          Folder folder = store.getFolder(folderName);
Then I try to get the newest message in the folder:
          UIDFolder uidFolder = ((UIDFolder) folder);
          Message lastMessage = ((UIDFolder) folder).getMessageByUID(UIDFolder.LASTUID);
The last line throws this Exception:

nested exception is:

     ... 2 more
Google turns up nothing for this Exception message.
Has anyone else seen this?

Could be a Gmail bug.
What version of JavaMail are you using?
Can you add "session.setDebug(true);" and post the protocol trace showing
what command is causing the exception?
Also, be sure to read the JavaMail FAQ entries about Gmail.
Finally, you probably want to use Session.getInstance instead of Session.getDefaultInstance,
although it has nothing to do with this problem.

IPhoto zeigt Bilder aus RAW Format (Nikon D5100) nur noch komplett schwarz an

Hallo,
beim Importieren über SD-Karte ist mir iPhoto vermehrt abgestürzt. Der Fehler tritt nur in Verbindung mit dem RAW-Format (Nikon D5100) auf. JPEG funktioniert tadellos. Falls der Import doch erfolgreich war (Anzahl der Bilder stark reduziert) sind diese alle schwarz.
Auch eine andere SD-Karte zeigt identisches Verhalten.
Ich nutze ein MacBookPro Early 2011 auf dem Yosemite läuft.

Schwierig Vorstellbar, dass das Problem ausschließlich bei mir Auftritt.
Wir hatten hier schon mehrere Berichte, dass das neue RAW update dieses Problem verursacht hat.
Du könntest versuchen, ob es einen Unterschied macht, wenn du den Update direkt herunterlädtst anstelle ihn vom AppStore zu installieren:
Hier ist die Software Update Seite: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01
Ansonsten bleibe bei Version RAW Camera Update 5.07, bis diese Bug durch einen neuen Update behoben wurde (Re: Aperture crashes after launch despite rebuild).

gmail IMAP
Inbox on my Mail Desktop does NOT match what iphone, ipad, or web mail shows. Because it is NOT getting mail or syncing. Still doesn't when I hit the get mail button, get new mail, get all new mail etc.
Connection doctor says gmail IMAP is green.
Troubleshooting already performed: Restarted mail. Rebooted computer. Deleted gmail account and re-added it ... TWICE. Downloaded and installed new mail app (which was acually the same one I already had). Spent an hour on the phone with Mac support.
How can you act like this isn't a WELL known problem:

"Invalid Account. Please Validate"

I recently had my storm replaced due to an issue with the female connection with the wall charger (it wasn't accepting my car charger or my wall charger.) I am having trouble setting up my gmail account on my phone. I cannot receive emails on my gmail account, and when I go to Email Setup, I get "Invalid Account. Please Validate" in red under my gmail account, and requires my email password again. I type in my password and get 'The application has encountered an error and cannot continue.' (Keep in mind that I have done a battery pull more than once) I figured I might go around this hiccup by going to http://www.blackberry.com/go/vzw and delete the account and add it again there. I successfully deleted it, then upon adding the email I got "user name or password is invalid, if this problem persists please contact your provider (gmail)" but after a few tries I got it added again, but still having the same invalid account problem on my storm..Any suggestions?
BTW my yahoo account is working just fine..
Sorry if that was difficult to understand..
Solved!

Email being sent as Gibberish

Folks,
Encountered a strange problem recently, emails sent from a Corp Email address to a particular Hotmail recipient received as Junk.
Sender:
Handheld: BlackBerry 8900 (Generic) with Latest OS
Network:    Etisalat, UAE
BES:          Corporate Email ID (BES)
BIS:            Gmail (BIS)
Recipient:
Handheld: BlackBerry 9000 (Generic) with latest OS
Network:    Orange, USA
BIS:            Hotmail (BIS)
Sender sends an email from Gmail (BIS) to recipient to his Hotmail Address, it's received fine i.e.. Readable.
Send sends an email from the Corporate Email Address (BES), Recipient receives garbage.
Whereas, if the sender sends an email from the Outlook from the same Corporate Address to the recipient it's received as normal.
Another users on the same Corporate BES sends an email to the same hotmail address for recipient it's received fine.
Already tried the following
1. Deleted the Stored Contact & all the emails (to / from) the recipient.
2. Fresh Enterprise Activation (without restoring the backup)
3. Changed the 8900 with a Brand New 8900
Result: Issue still persists.
Interestingly, all other communication to all other addresses is OK.
Has anyone seen this issue before ? Any recommendations ?

I have previously had to modify a user's entry in the AWL file for the same reason (user forwarding to junkmail account rather than redirecting). What started as an answer for this forum got a bit big and so I've stuck it up on my web site (hope this is ok for forum)...
http://www.redpaw.co.uk/server/2009/07/viewing-and-modifying-spamassassins-awl-a utowhitelist-file-in-105-panther-server.html
snappy little page title
Basically there is a problem with the location of the active auto-whitelist file in that it is not in amavisd's home folder (set by 10.5 in /var/virusmails), so it is not accessible by running the required spamassassin commands under sudo -H -u amavisd since this uses the wrong location. A work-a-round is necessary. If anyone can see another way to address this, I'd be obliged to hear about it.
