GMAIL folders/labels not syncing

Hello, have wasted at least four hours trying to fix a really basic problem - it's immensely frustrating, and to be frank I'm at the end of my tether googling for solutions.
I have multiple gmail accounts set up into different filters/folders on my main Gmail - the other accounts forward into them etc.
On my 9700 all emails were shown.
On my Q5 ONLY THE MAIN account gets emails.
This is despite:
- Selecting the folders in the folders option
- Doing all the IMAP settings etc
- Following every single piece of advice on this forum and crackberry
Please, PLEASE can someone tell me a solutions else I burn my Q5 immediately. Thank you in advance!

The very first question is, are the messages to which filters are being applied also being archived? If so, they would be bypassing the device inbox and would appear only in the account sub folder(s). If this is the case, tap the Hub icon (bottom left while in the Hub), and select your main account. Then tap the down arrow at the top right to show the sub folders (aka Gmail labels). Check one that you know should have messages.
If no messages are there, leave the Hub. From the home screen, go to Settings > Accounts and select your main Gmail account.Scroll to the very bottom and select "Edit Folder Settings". Select all, or specific folders where you want the email synced from the Gmail server to your device. Save and exit. Depending on how much you're syncing, it may take a while. If there's a lot of messages, you may want to be on WiFi so you don't use up your data plan.
Give this a try, then report back, please.

Gmail folders do not update in Mail

Ever since upgrading to Mavericks my Gmail folders do not update in the Mail app. I don't have this problem with my iOS devices (iPhone 5 or iPad 3) both running the latest iOS version. Is there a work around.

So i pretty much got ticked at my iphone. Not only was my "sent folder" not updating, the new 2.0 was crashing and hanging all my applications. e-mail photos wont send, got error messesges , at least every application crashed at some point in the last week, even after i did a restore and back-up. SO pretty much i restored to factory out of the box settings and just started as a "new iphone".
as for the whole "sent folder" not updating. I changed the setting to download "Last 200" messeges. Then i kept updating until all 1,000 messeges were downloaded. After that point my iphone would update whenever i sent new messeges. But it would take forever cause it was checking against a 1,000 e-mails for new ones.... SO i give up, i just dumped all my "sent e-mails" to a new folder called "sent archives" ( u can call it whatever u want). I think this is the easiest fix for now.
if i get any more issues.. i'm just gonna go restore my phone back to the software rev before 2.0 came out....

My Gmail account is not syncing

My Gmail account on my iPhone 4 does not remove emails that I've deleted from my computer. I have tried going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Select the Gmail Acct > Advanced button; But I don't have this option: Delete from server like I do with my Yahoo account.
Is it not possible for the iPhone 4 to sync with the pc gmail account? I hate having to delete emails twice. Thanks.

I don't think this is actually an apple issue but a gamil account setting issue
I think both the POP and IMAP are enabled on your gamil account.
Try accessing the settings to gmail via the gmail web site, not your iphone app.
Find the cog symbol on the top left, then go settings>Forwarding and POP/IMAP
then in the POP Download area select "disbale POP"
Save the settings.
hope this helps

Gmail IMAP does not sync

I've had my IMAP gmail account set up in mail.app for a few months. At first, it worked perfectly -- the two would sync up relatively quickly, both in terms of labeling/deleting email, and noting whether they were read or unread. About a week ago, mail.app started synching right after I would open it -- and then it would eventually label/delete email correctly, but would not change an unread message to read if I left it in my gmail inbox. Now, it isn't even labeling/deleting email -- it won't do anything except right after it is first opened. Manually telling it to synchronize has no effect -- the little clock icon in the account list doesn't even appear. I'm wondering if this has something to do with the 10.5.6 update -- after which, I did run the stand alone Mail update, hoping it would resolve this behavior (even though I wasn't having stability problems) -- but it didn't. Any ideas?

Remember, *Gmail is still beta*. That's not an accidental labeling oversight by Google. My sense is that Google is still struggling with reconciling IMAP, which is folder-based, with Gmail's new approach of using tags instead of folders.
I think if you use Gmail via IMAP, you're going to be having sync issues in one way or another. The unanswered question is whether or not the Gmail team has painted themselves into a corner by choosing to reinvent the wheel (tags instead of folders to organize email). Gmail may never make it out of beta, if these problems keep surfacing.
I think the best solution (which I'm having a hard time accepting myself), is to switch to Thunderbird, since the open-source community seems to implement fixes faster than the closed-source community. Thus, as the Gmail team deploys new code, the Mozilla team will tweak T-bird to cope with the change, and probably do it faster than Apple.
Other thoughts? I accept my amazing talent at being completely wrong...

IPhone email sub folders do not sync with Push feature

Greetings all,
I have been working with the iPhone for a while with one of my tasks being to the iPhone Sync Push technology to work well for us.
Unfortunately it only partially works. It will on push to the root of the INBOX and any other sub folders below the INBOX never get pushed to. The only way to get an idea of if there are new email messages in the sub folders is to individually open each on and wait for it to sync. This is not cool at all.
Am I missing something here? I mean if I have rules running on the server to organize my email messages and the mail server and clients know about the new messages, why does the iPhone ignore them.
I have tried the iPhone with Exchange 2003 and with Kerio 6.6 and get no luck with either. I have lots of other phones connected to both and they sync perfectly, so I am lead to believe that the problem is with Apple.
I thought this phone was supposed to be Enterprise ready?
Am I doing something wrong here?
I heard somewhere that Apple only supports push to the INBOX. If that is true, when will Apple fix it so the phone can be used in the Enterprise?
If anyone has any thoughts on this or if this is working to actually push to sub folders inside of the INBOX with notification of new email without having to open the mail app, I would like to know.
Thanks for listening.
Rick

To all,
After reading your posts, i can definitly relate to the frustration of using the iphone in an enterprise environment. i have to agree that the Blackberry functionality compared to the iphones is day and night. meaning, the blackberry has always geared itself towards corporate america. where in the iphone's case, it's a device made to look pretty and have some positive enterprise add-ons. however, it still remains a "consumer" mobile device.
After upgrading the iphone os, i saw that they have addressed the issue with "sub-folder sync". for many of us, that recieve tons of emails a day, its a given that we need to stay organized, otherwise there would be email chaos.
here is the steps to set auto push to your sub-folders...
1. Settings
2. Mail, Contacts, Calendars
3. Click on your corp mail account.
4. Click "Mail folders to push"
at this point you can choose the folders that are currently setup in exchange.
there is still a minor bug to this fix, even though you will be notify via chime of a new email in your folder, there wont be an indicator on the email icon on the main page indicating a 1 or 2 or 3 emails you might have. Once you are in the email account and see your folder structure, there will be a number indicating new emails.
final thoughts... they are getting there. im really hoping the new 3gs address all the issues relating to enterprise environment.

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.

Gmail acct suddenly not syncing

I'd been using Gmail via the Mail app as an Exchange account with no problem, as well as gmail's Contacts and Calendars, and suddenly this morning it's not working.
I can access Gmail in Safari fine, and do not have 2-step verification enabled.
I restarted the iPad.
I deleted the Mail account in Settings, tried to set it up again as an Exchange account (as before, using m.google.com) and got a verification error.
Tried to set it up as a Gmail account, got "user name or password for imap.gmail.com is incorrect"
Tried to set it up as "Other", with server imap.googlemail.com, didn't work either.
Tricks for getting gmail to sync with the ipad Mail app as well as gmail's Contacts and Calendars?

Gmail Folders (Labels) in Mavericks

Since upgrading to Mavericks, I do not seem to be having the problems with my Gmail accounts that many others appear to be suffering.
However, since the upgrade, all my Labels in Gmail, which used to be listed in alphabetic order for each Gmail acount, are now listed in Mail in reverse alphabetic order - has anyone elkse experienced this and dioscovered how to correct it?

Hi MartinJJ,
If you are having an issue with Gmail behavior in Mail for Mavericks, you may want to make sure that you have installed the most recent Mail Update:

Mail.app with Exchange - all folders will not sync - is there a fix or is this a defect

I am tryinf to switch from Outlook to Mail - running Mavericks and new 7.0 mail app. Inbox appears to have synced but other folders within inbox are empty and have tried to rebuild several times. Thoughts? I do have a lot of messages.

Self-hosted add-ons have to be fixed for every new version of Firefox. Two to 6 months for updating an add-on is ridiculous for a program which has a new version release every '''6 weeks'''. If that extension was hosted at the official Add-ons website, Mozilla would take take care of "bumping" that extension, as long as it keeps working, for every new version of Firefox, as the new version is released.
See this thread from yesterday, I posted instructions about how to "bump" that extension for Firefox 7.<br />
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/884484
You can also use this extension to "bump" an already installed extension for compatibility with the currently installed version of Firefox. <br />

Gmail on iPhone4 not syncing with Gmail on apple Mail

Hi. iPhone newb here.
I have a gmail account that I access through apple mail. I just got a new iPhone4 and set up my gmail account on it. My problem is that the two don't seem to sync up. When I read or delete an email on apple mail on my home computer, it doesn't get marked as read or deleted on my iPhone.
Is there a way to resolve this? It's annoying to have to manually keep them both consistent.
Much thanks in advance,
Steve

You need to change your Gmail settings from POP to IMAP (on the Gmail website). AFTER you have made this change, delete the Gmail account from your iPhone and then re-add it. You will need to do the same delete/re-add on your laptop.
After doing these steps, your iPhone, laptop, and webmail should all be in sync with each other.

Z10 Deleted Email not syncing to Gmail

My Z10 syncs email from Gmail, but does not sync DELETED email back to Gmail. What changes need to be made. Please help. Thanks.

Hi and Welcome to the Community! First off, please check your account/hub settings for "Delete On", and make sure it is NOT set to "Hub Only". If that is set, then change it to either Prompt or Hub and Server. If that does not do it, then please with a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (step 1 should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRTKB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless networkPlease wait for one "registration" message to appear2) RebootPre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try deleting and re-adding your configurations for the affected email accounts.
Good luck!

How do you get notified of Gmail archived labels that skip the inbox with the mail app on iOS devices?

If you are fimiliar with Gmail you know that you are able to set up labels/filters. Well i have my filters set up so when a certain person/company emails me the email gets archived into a certain folder and skips the inbox. This works great for me. This orgnazation method to keep an amazing clean/empty inbox works great. It's just like having a Filing cabinant and inside the filing cabinant you have a folder(label) for each file(email). Below is a sample Gmail that has Archived Labels that have content in each Archived Label that as you can see.. skip the inbox completely regeardless if the message was read or not.
If the Archived Label has a new message in it it will have (1) next to it.
Ex.
Client One Folder (23)
Client Two Folder
Client Three (2)
Client Four (5)
Understand how that works? It works great for orginaziaonl reasons..
Here is a photo of what it really looks like. (Info Blurred for security reasons)
On the Gmail end of things this works great if you ask me...only flaw to this is my iOS device won't notify me that i have a new email in my ClientArchived Folder due to the fact that the Mail app preinstalled on the device only checks the inbox for new mail and does NOT check for new mail sent to Archived folders where majority of my mail is set up for orginazional reasons.
I am aware that if i am using my iOS device that i can go to the Mail App and scroll down to account > Gmail > Scroll down and my archived folders for each client are their & shows how many emails are from each client..
but why doesn't it notifty me about this emails that get sent to these organized archived folders in notifcation center?
See the Mail App icon below? Well above it says i have 16 unread emails throughout my Gmail folders/labels.. Why doesn't it give me a red bubble via NC(noticication Center) on the app saying i have 16 unread messages?
My problem isn't that i can't get the emails on the phone.. it's just if i am not expecting an email and someone emails me.. i won't get it until i go and pysically check in the mail account > gmail > archived folder. It's very frustrating seeing as if i like to be quick to respond to emails. Well it's hard to be quick to respond if my phone doesn't notify me about the emails.
Why won't the App notify me when i have emails in folders other than "Inbox"?
Called Apple and talked to a Technician.. He was clueless of a solution.
Does anyone have a fix for this or a work around?
Any help/input is apperciated!
-Thanks

my problem exactly. Did you ever figure it out? I had to resort to turning off labels in the web interface for Gmail. Not ideal

Mail messages after a certain date are not syncing in IMAP

I use IMAP with Intermedia hosted Exchange (set to allow IMAP with Apple Mail). Everything has worked fine with Mail.app for years. All of a sudden, in the last week, mail in archive folders is not syncing. I receive Inbox mail and see Sent mail, but folders where I store archived messages (Friends, Travel, etc.) do not show any messages after July 10. When I go to the webmail server, I see the messages in the folders where I moved them.
I have divided large folders into smaller ones, and done a completely clean download of all mail, and the problem persists. My iPod Touch was also having trouble seeing new messages.
This is a longshot, but the one change on July 10 was that I started using Mail from a different location. Could it have something to do with the Airport base station here or even the cable Internet provider?

Update: it does not have to do with the Internet provider or local equipment. I tried downloading messages from a different network and the problem persisted.

"sent" email on iPad (Google) not syncing with iMac

Lately, when I send email on my iPad (Gmail) it does not sync with the "sent" mail on my iMac. (The "sent" box is not synched on both devices.) Funny... I get the "response" or "inbox" on both devices, but not the "sent" mail. Everything else seems to be synched.
STATUS: iPad1 with latest iOS. iMac with latest ML OS. I have both talking to iCloud.
Any suggestions? Anyone else have this problem?
