Deleted a duplicate gmail account on iPhone, contacts disappeared!

Somehow I had 3 duplicate gmail accounts in Mail on my iphone 4s. To clean up the duplicate messages, I deleted one of the identical accounts. ALL of the contacts suddenly disappeared from my phone. I tried turning Contacts off and on in iCloud, but it didn't recover the contacts. I synced in iTunes. Nada. I went to my laptop to check out my Contacts from Gmail. The Contacts I have there are at least 3 or 4 years old, no recent contacts. How can I recover my iphone contacts???? Help!!!

relog with the previous account. contacts have a weird connection with identifications and emails and all that. go to settings>mail>recieve mail at___> it should reappear if u connect to itunes
~hope it helped

  • Massive emails in gmail account on iPhone

    Although I have emptied the various folders (inbox, all mail, spam, delete) of my gmail account via my mac, when I check my mail on iPhone, my gmail account on there says I have over 4000 messages waiting. I have no idea how this happened, where these messages are, or, worse, how to get rid of the 4000. Can anyone help? thanks — Pierre

    This setting has moved in iOS 7.  Go to the Mail settings and select your GMail account as before, but then tap "Account" and then "Advanced" and you'll see the option for where to send your discarded messages.

    I thought maybe you had a restriction set to Accounts but if you can get to the final screen that's not it. I'd try resetting the phone. First do a hard reset. Turn the phone off then press the Home button an Power button at the same time and hold for 10 seconds or so until the logo appears. If that doesn't work go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. That will basically restore the phone to a like new condition but keep your data, music, photos, etc. intact. Do a back up first though.

  • Two inboxes for my Gmail account in iPhone mail

    I recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 5 and found one problem. I set up my Gmail account on my iPhone and see two inboxes for it. They are identical, I delete one mail in one inbox, the deleted mail disappear in the other inbox too. It's not a big problem just kind of annoying thing.
    Does anyone here has the same problem?

    I had the same issue.
    I eventually fixed it by setting up my email from scratch, after removing it from my IOS device, but this time set it up using "Other" rather then "Gmail". I used the details from http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78799 (if this link does not appear in English, try searching for IMAP settings in GMail's help). After set-up I had to match sent, drafts and deleted folders with the ones on the server. I also had to close e-mail and settings apps, start e-mail, sync all, then go to settings again in order for the IMAP folders to appear in the advanced settings for matching.
    Note, using IMAP like this may require an update of your GMail settings on how to delete vs. archive mail when using IMAP, or you may end up never deleting e-mail unintentionally.

  • Alias label on emails for gmail accounts on iphone

    I use an alias on my gmail account with Entourage on my MacBook Pro that shows up when sending & replying in Entourage. However, I have not been able to use the alias email labels for messages on my iphone. Is there a way to accomplish this, so that emails originating, forwarding, & replying from my iphone via GMail display the alias email account?

    Go to your archived section and you should delete emails on your account on your computer so you can mark all of them to delete and it can go by faster but does not delete all mail at once.

  • How do I remove duplicate Google accounts in the Contacts application?

    I reinstalled 10.9.
    I entered my iCloud credentials, and prevoius settings, including the Google account information appeared.
    I tried to log in to mail.google.com and Safari asked to add this account, to which I confirmed.
    Now I have two Google accounts in the Contacts application, but only one in the iCloud prefs. panel.
    It is somewhat annoying, is there a mehtod to fix this?

    The manual doesn't address it because there is no way to do it on the iPad. You can create groups in iCloud.com in a web browser, but that does no good either because the built in mail app will not let you use groups.
    Look at these two apps for that functionality

  • My Thunderbird pulls in emails from my gmail account even when those emails have been deleted in my gmail account. I do not have them synced. How do I fix?

    I go into my gmail account first and delete messages I don't care about. Then I will later use Thunderbird to pull in messages I want and be able to store them locally. I do not have TB and gmail synced. However, when I "get messages" in TB, it pulls in a whole bunch of emails that I had previously deleted from gmail. How do I prevent this from happening? Thank you.

    Can you empty the trash in Gmail? Maybe you need to do that first?

  • Setting up gmail account on iPhone.

    Hi, I have a new iphone and I'm trying to set up my gmail existing account. I'm using the same gmail password that I'm using to access my gmail account on my Mac Book laptop, but my phone keeps rejecting the password. I don't have any other passwords so I'm not sure of what to do or whom to ask for advice. I'm hoping there is someone clever and helpful out there in Apple Land who can point me in the right direction. Many thanks, your answers are very much appreciated. Martina.

    Copied from Google Support:
    Invalid Password Prompt. If you see an error message that reads "Invalid Password", it's likely that you'll need to unlock your account by solving a short CAPTCHA. Go to https://www.google.com/accounts/UnlockCaptcha and, if asked to, fill in your email address, password, and the letters in the CAPTCHA box.
