Droid X IMAP email issues

I set up my email in the Droid X with the proper IMAP settings. Most of it works, however the following IMAP functionality is not working:
When I delete an email from my Droid X, it does not delete the message from the email server.
The sent messages are not being stored in my Sent folder on my Droid X, nor are the sent emails getting synced through IMAP with my email server.
IMAP is a wonderful technology that saves double work. Nothing worse than having to delete your emails a second time in Outlook, after reading and deleting them from the Droid X.
I'm using Rackspace email. The technician tested my email account using the original Droid and everything tested fine. They do not have a Droid X to test with, but it seems that this is somehow a Droid X issue.
Is anyone else having this issue? More importantly...has anyone figured out how to resolve these IMAP issues?

I have had the same problem since the first day I got the Droid X (I got it on launch day). I have called Verizon several times and have ended up creating a case with Motorola. They were complete **bleep** and of no help. Their number is 800-734-5870 if you want to try. I simply gave up because I don't have time to fight this problem anymore and attempted to move on. I have used MailDroid Pro for the most part even though right now that isn't working anymore either. I am probably going to just wait until I am due to get the iPhone and just replace this phone. Very disappointing. Otherwise, I think the phone has been great!
Let me know if anyone gets through to Motorola to get this corrected.

IMAP email issue with hundreds of phantom emails arriving

Hi guys,
I have seen this phenomenon described on other forums but haven't found a solution as far as I can tell, so am hoping someone here can help us please.
We recently switched to IMAP email with virginmedia (previously had been using POP with btinternet). The whole IMAP thing is taking a little while to get used to but we are getting used to it.
Now the wierd bit.
Every now and again I notice hundreds of emails appearing to arrive (the status bar tells me they are arriving), but nothing lands in my inbox apart from a few real ones.
Although we are on a mac running lion, it seems to be a frequent problem on PC's with Outlook running IMAP. I have used Virgin webmail and checked - there really aren't hundreds of emails anywhere.
Thanks for any insight or advice you can offer.
regards,
Chris

Imap does have folders for sent mail, trash, junk all of which (unless you specifically turn it them off) will end up syncing. Not sure what your problem is but if virgin mail is moving things around on it's own (like to spam folders) those changes will sync to you.

IPHONE5 imap email issues on verizon LTE

I'm a verizon customer using an Iphone5. I have a .me account and two other email accounts. My work email, an imap is not coming in unless I am on a wi-fi connection and then not always. Tried all the reset options, had the device replaced, verizon reset account...nothing. HELP

If this is a POP account, they will not sync. You have to deal with them individually.

Go Daddy IMAP Email Not Functioning Properly. Do others have same issue?

Try as I might with my IMAP accounts on GoDaddy, I have been unable to experience the functionality I have expected from having IMAP email.
I use Apple Mail on MacBook Pro laptop and on my iPad for my IMAP email. When I delete emails in my inbox on one of The devices that action is not mirrored on the other device. The second devise shows that the email has been read.... But the email does not become deleted.
I have read on other forums that in fact this is a glitch on GoDaddy's end.
I have one IMAP email account with Host Gator, and it functions just as I expect it should on my two devices.
Can anyone comment? Or send a link with a solution? Thanks!

Hi,
I'm fully aware of how IMAP works, it helps to know a little when you administer your own server with many different domains on it. Mail v3 appears to do something to the mailboxes when it "Imports" them into the new version from the v2 mailboxes.
To put it simply, no new messages would download via IMAP at all, until the disk cache of all messages was removed.
Ernie Stamper wrote:
If that were the case, you would only need to use the Mail program and remove the accounts, and do nothing in the Finder. That would remove any traces of mailboxes on the Mac.
That is complete nonsense, it doesn't remove ever trace of the account, hence why removing the account and adding it again had no affect what so ever.
The mailboxes stored in the /Users/<username>/Library/Mail folder have to be trashed to get it to work, it is the only way.
I wasn't overly keen on re-downloading nearly 5000 email messages, many with large attachments, but I was more than happy to do so to enable me to get my Mail coming in again.
To be honest, I am not quite sure why you are arguing with me about this, it's easy enough to backup your POP accounts, and then restore them after you have finished.
And, if the idea is that rubbish, how come it has worked for so many people on that other thread, plus the starter of this one?
Point made.
Good evening.

I have an imac with IMAP email. have managed to partially sync up my ipad in that I can receive the same emails that appear on my imac but I can't send from my ipad. Any ideas?

That sounds like a settings issue to me. Check with your IT depatment to make sure you have it configured properly.

E72 IMAP email sent items sync broken - Tech Suppo...

After a frustrating 30 mins on the phone with a level 2 tech support and being fobbed off with an unnecessary patch for MfE I emailed tech support
“i have an imap email account with GMX set up on my e72 using nokia messaging. it sends and receives email fine. however, any email sent from my phone goes into the sent items folder on my phone, but not into the sent items on my email account. there is no option to tell the phone which folder to use as the sent items folder”
The reply was
“In response to your concern, please be advised that the phone's function to save your sent email to the phone's sent items folder and not on the email sent item folder is a default setting which cannot be altered.“
Brilliant eh? I have asked if there will be a fix in future firmware, but no response. This is a serious issue for anyone using the E72 for email.
I know I am not alone. Will keep you updated if I get anything else

Check this lot and tell me its not a Nokia problem.

ICloud/IMAP Sync Issues

I'm running into a syncing problem with iCloud and IMAP clients. I am on Windows 7 and I've replicated this problem on multiple computers and multiple E-Mail clients (Windows Mail, Outlook 2010, Thunderbird).
When I make folder changes using the iCloud.com website the changes do not get reflected to any of the above mentioned mail clients using the IMAP protocol. The folders still display but cannot be edited/deleted - the error returned is "The server responded NONEXISTENT." If the server does not believe that these folders do not exist, why are they being pushed to my client? The deleted folders do not show up under subscription lists. Has anyone else run across this issue?
Someone has the exact same problem I do, explained here...
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-outlook/cannot-delet e-imap-folders-in-outlook-2010-even-as/c1265eca-9791-47a6-9c3f-aa5da6085f0c?msgI d=8e7c41d4-fddd-4368-ae72-aece2be32dc8
... but no one was able to come up with a solution.

I have two imap email accounts configured. One is my personal email on my personal domain and another is my business email. For business we don't use exchange so I configure everything manually. Entering the email and password on the add account screen doesn't work. I've noticed a general slowness since 1.3.1 and I've also noticed that if I have a bunch of messages on the server and for some reason the phone hasn't synched in a while, it stops synching until i remove and then reconfigure the account. Any other ideas?

Have 1 POP3 email account I want to work like IMAP email in icloud. Apple suggested created a new Apple ID just for POP3. Has anyone tried this to see if it works and will delete across multiple devises?

Have 1 POP3 email account I want to work like IMAP email in icloud (keeps my iMac, iPhone, ipad mail in sync). Apple suggested trying creating a new Apple ID just for that POP3 email. Has anyone tried this to see if it works and will delete/update across multiple devises? Would mean keeping up with two Apple ID accounts but only other alternative I know of is paying for monthly service for Microsoft 365.

would I be able to "upload" (not sure how else to say it) my existing folders and subfolders containing all my emails so that they are all available on my new IMAP service, while still being available on my Mac?
Not easily, no. There's no direct transfer option between POP and IMAP, especially across email providers. The best you could do would be to forward all of your emails to your new address, although it's not clear that you need to - dropping your sbcglobal.net account doesn't instantly render all your existing mail void - it'll still be in your Mail client, you can still read it, search it, etc., it just won't be on your provider's server.
I have toyed with the idea of getting a MobileMe account. Would that solve my issue/question above?
MobileMe would be viable, especially if you're interested in synching your various iOS devices. It's not free, of course, unlike Yahoo and Gmail, although you've already discounted them...
I have also toyed with purchasing my own URL, but it's hard to tell from the sites (1and1, Namecheap, etc.) if they come with IMAP email accounts included.
Some registrars offer email hosting bundles with a domain registration. This could be a good way to go. GoDaddy, for example, have a email hosting option for domains you register with them.

Imap emails disappear

I have two IMAP email accounts. One appears to work properly. The other one shows and email only once and then it disappears. It shows that there are emails in the inbox- once you view the email, it disappears. It shows that there are emails still there, but I can't access them.
I looked in the library for this email and see that I have an "Inbox.imapmbox" folder (contains one "message" folder and one "plist" folder) and separate Inbox folder that contains "drafts.imapmbox", "sentmessage.imapmbox" among other folders but it does not include an "inbox.imapbox" folder.
Any idea what the issue might be?

Disregard. Rebuild fixed the issue. Duh.

IMAP email - not updating back at the office

I've been using IMAP email and could always delete or move items around my folders on the iPhone and everything would be identical in Outlook. I could sit in front of outlook and see the items disappear or move as I manipulated them on the iPhone. Not the case since 2.0 update. I'm back to using expunge.exe command to process all the edits done on the iphone.
I know this was an issue in early iphones versions.. and then fixed in a later update.
I have exchange 2000 and can't use the new exchange mail.
Have I missed something? or did 2.0 revert back to the earlier problem?

HHaving the same issue here,im don't think you can roll back.
did it start after crashing while trying to send an email with multiple attachments?

IMAP email deleted on desktop remains in iPhone inbox

Seems like people are seeing a variety of email problems with the new iOS 4. I flipped through the first 6 pages or so of topics and did not see my particular issue.
I am using my university IMAP email service. If I read and delete email using the Apple Mail client on Mac OS 10.6.4, it still remains in my iPhone inbox, showing as unread. I am using iOS 4 on the iPhone 4. I also have an iPad, and using the same mail settings, the iPad inbox syncs fine with the IMAP server. On my previous iPhone 3G, everything worked fine. I did notice similar behavior with the 3G after my iOS 4 update, but I sold that phone soon after, so I wasn't able to test this fully.
I have tried killing the Mail background process, restarting the phone, hitting "load more messages" on my iPhone, refeshing in the inbox, deleting the mail account and re-entering manually, syncing the mail account from my Mac or entering the info manually on the phone. Nothing has resolved my issue.
Interestingly, I also use another IMAP client as well, from FastMail.fm, and I do not notice the problem here. Maybe the bug only manifests itself with certain mail server software.
Anyhow, it looks like another mail bug in the new iOS. Anybody else noticing a similar issue?

they are not blank emails, they just look blank. I just got hit by this yesterday accidentally clicked on am email sent 12/31/1969 and its been a bain. It vanished but later I found it lurking in my drafts folder of my 3G iPhone updated with 4.1OS. It changes dates when you try to delete it. And in one case, it changed its message to show the first line of javascript code. It's installing something or trying to. First line reads $(window).load(function() {2 3 initial... so I assume its starting some initialization process and that its malware.
I am using gmail. Computers seem fine, iPhone is weird. I changed passwords to something the iPhone wouldn't know. I did so on two different computers. And that seemed to stop everything. Ok, it stopped my phones email connection. Till I could figure this out. Or I thought. For last night when on the phone a call got interupted. I called back, no big deal, dropped call, but when I got off the phone I noticed I had an email. Something had come in. It arrived during the minute of that dropped call. It was a nice email announcing the birth of friends first child. Wonderful news. But it shouldn't have shown up on the phone.
Since then I've been to see the Apple Genius' bar, the drafts folder that would not delete, cleared itself out magically before I arrived at Apple, but I have pictures of it and that line of js in my camera. Due to the range of odd behaviors the OS has been reinstalled. Good. Then I restored my phone to a backup version. Fine. And now, with right password set up, it intermittently tells me it does not recognize the password and then try again and its all good and then its not. Some folders update with the time stamp, others don't. I can send but I have not received in the 50 minutes even tho I've sent myself test emails from other devices. Also noticed, I cannot deselect my drafts folder, nor that it is backed up on some other server. Is this normal?
What is this thing and how can I kill it?
But, whatever it is, its not blank, it just looks blank.
Open to suggestions / insights. Would prefer not to completely rebuild from scratch.

Why isnt my godaddy imap email not loading messages?

Why isnt my godaddy imap email not loading messages?

I'm having the same issue, but slightly different - since upgrading to Mountain Lion the Inbox folder doesn't come across. If I right-click on the account and select "Get Account Info", the 'Inbox' folder does not appear in the Mailbox list. I've got a support email into GoDaddy but haven't heard from them yet.
Hey - sorry - I just realized this is an iPhone discussion group. Can't figure out how to delete this post.

Can't set up IMAP email

Greetings,
I'm having trouble setting up an IMAP email account. I have set up a new account through Setup > Email Settings but the Advanced Options says that the Email server type is "POP". How do I change this to IMAP?
This is for a Tour 9630 on Verizon Wireless.
Thanks,
Shane.

Hi SGoodman,
Can you please provide more information? Where are you seeing the POP server type listed? Are you referring to the server name? Have you verified with your mail server administrator that IMAP is enabled? http://bbry.lv/yeEKYS
This article should provide more information on integrating an IMAP email account. http://bbry.lv/pcA7sE
Hope this helps.

Reasons IMAP email account might not show emails?

I'm working with an IMAP email account (provided by Network Solutions) and while Mail seems to be accepting all of the account information (username, login, etc.), nothing is showing up in the inbox. Outbound works fine, but inbound is empty. When I check the webmail interface, there is mail in the inbox... it is just not showing up in Apple Mail.
Any ideas?

I've been having these same symptoms for some time now:
- Standard IMAP account
- iPhone Mail / iPad Mail / OSX Sparrow / iPhone Sparrow / Thunderbird / Web interface all see messages in the inbox
- Apple Mail app does not see any messages
I found a solution that works for me. Look through all the folders in your IMAP account. You should have only one INBOX folder, the main one. If you have any others called "Inbox", move the mail out of them and delete the folders. Beware that you are deleting the phantom Inbox folders and not the real one. This solved the issue for me. For instance I had a folder called "Inbox.Trash" that was separate to the main INBOX folder.
I had to use OSX Sparrow to do this maintenance, I couldn't find any other tool that would give me such control over the folder structure. Preferences -> Organise -> Folders
Hope this helps.

N8 and imaps email account

Hi all.
I have an N8, and I'm trying to configure an imaps email account.
My organization use the imap ssl with a self created certificate for sign the connection. The problem is that in N8 there is no way to say to nokia push servers to use that certificate, and thus during the account creation the configuration fail saying to check the servers name.
Is there any way to have the push mail working?

there is a messaging forum
/t5/Messaging-Email-and-Browsing/bd-p/messaging
so the messaging super geeks might be in there
i know what you mean. i have a self signed certificate on my server and can't use NM with this either. fortunately i just drop mine down to regular imap and it's all fine (save the huge problems with NM, and push over imap) i guess you can't do that.
the other option would be to decline the terms of service as you finish setting up the account., this causes the phone to switch back to a regular email client that connects directly with the mail servers rather than via NM.
there is no push option. but email can be set to retrieve on notify. notify being when it is indicated over an imap idle connection. or you can just set it to retrieve every 5 minutes.
you are still going to have certificate issues. but they may be manageable.
There's no dignity in begging for kudos. Do it for the karma.
