Gmail IMAP and POP3 in an infinite  sync loop - HELP!

Since installing Snow Mail has gotten one of my gmail accounts into an infinite spinning wheel. I am not sure if it is stuck or if it is actually doing something but I can't stop it. My other gmail IMAP account works fine in Mail, it's just this isolated account.
I have tried both POP and IMAP with no luck. I have deleted the account in question and reconfigured it... no luck. HELP!

The full question was which type of access is enabled in the web settings page? And the question derives from the fact that setting up a Gmail account defaults to IMAP, but if you were previously accessing as POP, and wish to continue accessing as POP, then some other steps will need to be taken during setup.

  • I have a Domain name with email forwarding to my Service Provider which worked very well when I had a PC. Now I have iMac and have changed to IMAP from POP3 so I can sync. between iMac and iPad but how?

    I have a Domain name with email forwarding to my Service Provider which worked very well when I had a PC. Now that I have iMac I have changed the account type to IMAP from POP3 so I can sync. between iMac and iPad but how?
    I do receive emails into my iMac for which I have 3 email accounts but am struggling on how synchronise between iMac and iPad so that both are up to date at all times.  I have also set up a iCloud email account thinking this was the way to go but have drawn a blank.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Linc Davis,
    I have set up my email address both within my iMac and my ISP as IMAP accounts and I receive all emails without problem on my iMac. I have also set up an iCloud email address using my iMac.
    I have enabled the email within "setting" on my iPad and have used the iCloud account.  I have sent emails from the iMac to iPad using the iCloud account address and vice versa.  I have also sent emails from the iPad to the iMac using my non-iCloud email address and they have gotten through.
    The one thing I would like to have is for the iPad "mail" mailboxes to mimic the iMac "mail" mailboxes and both to be "in sync".  I am not really interested in using the iCloud email address for my email but would really like to use my "normal" addresses as these are what most people know me by.
    Do I need to set additional accounts within the iPad which are the same as the email accounts I have within the iMac and my ISP?  I have reached the end of my knowledge as regards email synchronsing.
    Thanks

  • HT4872 My gmail contacts and my iphone contacts are synced.  I want to un-sync them

    My gmail contacts and my iphone contacts are synced.  I want to disconnect this function from my phone and be able to edit and remove all those contacts that are just email addresses.  How can I do this?

    Settings > mail, contacts, calendars > Gmail > contacts > off > select "delete from my iPhone."  This will delete all of them. 
    If you want to selectively edit out what you don't want, keep them and manually edit your contact.

  • I cant get my itunes librairy and mozilla firefox bookmarks to sync. Help?

    I cant get my itunes librairy and mozilla firefox bookmarks to sync. Help?

    What?
    Well that must be a trick I've missed.
    As far as I'm aware, you cannot sync "the iTunes Library" (the media - songs, videos, etc.) with Firefox, since Firefox's bookmarks are the locations of websites that you've marked in order to access them quickly. iTunes doesn't "visit websites". What am I missing, I'm curious to know?
    What information, in iTunes, are you trying to sync with Firefox bookmarks?

  • Thunderbird email client times out making IMAP and POP3 connections to gmail and hotmail.

    After autoconfiguring several gmail accounts with Thunderbird, and then using them, they stopped working after I switched to Verizon High Speed DSL.  All of the accounts time out while trying to get email.   Non list an error.  While trying to auto configure a hotmail account, it failed during password loggin.
    Disabled Windows Firewall
    Disabled Norton Firewall
    Disabled modem-router firewall
    checked IMAP settings in Thunderbird.
    deleted and then reautoconfigured the accounts to reset the passwords.
    enabled IMAP manually in gmail and POP3
    checked SMTP ports and IMAP default port numbers
    checked for normal password
    checked for SSL/TSL text
    Checked with Verizon support who said that they don't help Thunderbird clients.
    Tried logging in manually to all of the accounts to make sure the passwords and usernames were correct ...works.
    help! "connection to server timed out"

    Not exactly the same, but I am pretty sure the fix will be the same. 
    give it a whirl and let us know.
    Solution for sending MS Outlook and SMTP e-mail through Verizon FIOS for GoDaddy e-mail
    The FIX...I had to log onto the xxxxxxxx(at)verizon.net e-mail account via the WEBMAIL version for Verizon.
    I then went to Options-->More Options on the top, right menu.
    Go to the Accounts menu on the left.
    Click Add Account button toward the top.
    I only entered information for Sending Mail.
         Account name (any name you like...I called it GoDaddy)
         From Name = my display name
         e-mail address = my GoDaddy e-mail address
         I then moved my cursor to the username field in the Receiving Mail just so my cursor wasn't in the e-mail address field anymore.
    Verizon couldn't even help me with this.  This should be a standard check for them whenever they receive a call for SMTP issues.  I think they are trying to get everyone to use their (at)verizon.net e-mail account as their primary account.  This will help them retain or gain future business.  I think it's bad for business overall.
    ==========
    Note the "Test Account Settings..." button failed on the test send of a message, but all other tests passed fine.  My messages are sent fine even with this part of the tests failing.
    The above is true for a lot of third party email providers (not programs but email providers) 

  • GMail, IMAP and sending messages from the iPhone

    I have recently switched from POP to IMAP. My ISP doesn't support IMAP, and so I get GMail to pop my ISP, and then download the messages from GMail with IMAP. Within GMail I have set things so that by default I can send a message through my GMail account using +my normal ISP's email address+; recipients are therefore unaware of my use of GMail - which is how I want it.
    BUT ... messages sent from the iPhone show up as having been sent from my GMail address. Is there any way that I can change this, so they appear to have come from my normal address? I don't want to set up a second a/c on the iPhone, as I want all of the messages to stay within the GMail IMAP system.
    GMail's web based >> >Settings >Accounts >Send mail as: >> facility does not seem to appear within the iPhone.
    Or am I missing something?
    Any assistance gratefully received

    Many thanks for your reply - and I think that I understand what you are saying; however the GMail system does allow me to send a message using another "reply to" address so long as I have authenticated that email address within GMail first. I've been through that process, and I can send a message which appears to be from my normal ISP's address but in reality is sent through GMail (what some might refer to as using a spoofed address?) - but I can't do this from my iPhone.
    If the restriction is insurmountable for the iPhone, I'll just have to revert to POP instead of IMAP, as I can then separate my normal address and my GMail address - it's just that a combined IMAP system would have been a more elegant solution ...
    Kind Regards,

  • IPhone Gmail IMAP and Document Attachments

    Hi, first post....
    I've recently set up my iPhone's mail app for Gmail IMAP which is great apart from the fact that Word.doc attachments now appear inline with the text of the email complete with lots of garbled letters and numbers, rather than as the neat attachments I received when using Gmail with POP. Strange because it seems to work OK for photos.
    I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this issue, whether this is a feature of the way IMAP works, or whether there is some setting in Gmail or in mail on the iPhone that I am overlooking which might solve the issue.
    Any help would wonderful

    So to start to answer my own question, this seems to only be a problem when sending mail from the Mac mail client to iPhone mail client via Gmail, with other services (web mail, outlook) there isn't a problem!
    However it does seem to be a Mac mail client wide issue (10.4.11) since sending from my Mac to iPhone using a different account (not Gmail) yields the same result

  • Gmail IMAP and my BB - not showing messages marked as read

    I have a Blackberry Curve 8530 with v5.0.xx installed. I just setup my Gmail IMAP on my BB and when I read a message on my BB it doesn't show as read on my computer and visa versa. Anybody know why this is happening??
    Thanks much

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Not exactly. What I am saying is that your BB reconciles against your email Server. Your PC client as well reconciles against your email Server. The BB and the PC client do not reconcile against each other OTA -- the Server is always in the middle. What the BB will reconcile (against the server) is governed by the KB I linked you to. What your PC client will do is whatever it will do (I've no idea what your PC client is nor what it's capabilities are to reconcile things against your email server).

  • Problems with Gmail IMAP and 'use this Mailbox for..'

    Basically trying to re-setup Mail for Gmail IMAP after having to Time Machine back to a previous date after something or other stopped it working. Only thing that remains wrong is the Mail Trash. I have remapped the Drafts and Sent folders correctly, however the trash does not appear.
    I am using the Gmail Labs feature that lets you show or hide any of Gmails folders.
    If I try and delete a message it doesn't seem to go anywhere - if I delete it again it does dissapear (but I don't know where to!). If I force the Trash to appear in the sidebar (command 5) the little circular progress thing appears when i do the delete, but clicking on the Trash can shows no contents.
    Should I 'show' Gmail's Bin and set that for the Trash in Mail?
    I've obviously done something wrong here remapping or whatever so can anyone help me to sort it out? Please!

    No ideas?

  • Gmail IMAP Not Receiving, Only Sending on BB - PLEASE HELP!!!

    Hello All!
    This is my very first post and I'm really hoping someone can help me. 
    I have been using gmail as my personal email and it's been syncing wonderfully via IMAP with my blackberry. My company just migrated over to a hosted gmail and I've added the email address to my BB and have configured the setting to IMAP enabled. I added the additional Lab to make sure the "show in imap" is checked off. However, I'm not receiving any emails. The ironic thing is that I'm able to send emails via my bb but when I reply from the outside address (reply via online), the reply message arrives in my actual inbox but not on my bb. 
    I have a Bold 9650, Verizon carrier, OS 6. 
    SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!

    Hi mishael53 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
    You indicated you are using OS 6 on your BlackBerry Bold 9650.  Are you referring to the handheld software or the BlackBerry Desktop Manager version?
    As well, can you send me your PIN via Private Message?  I can take a look into this further to see why you may be having problems receiving your work email.
    Thanks

  • Gmail IMAP and autosave

    OK, I've been trying to figure this one out for weeks, and I'm tearing my hair out -
    As stated, i'm using IMAP with Gmail and Mail.
    I don't want to have all of my messages "archived", when I delete a message, I want it deleted.
    So, I am "moving deleted messages to the Trash mailbox", and "storing deleted messages on the server" for this account.
    When I am writing a new message with this account, I end up with a copy in the account's trash (on the server) for each minute I take to write the message. This will sometimes be many minutes, hence many messages. It is resulting in unneccesary network usage when using my iPhone with the same account, as there is almost always a ton of messages in the trash to be synced.
    I can't find any info pertaining to this behavior, has anyone got an idea of something I can try - I am at my wit's end
    Thanks
    Jake

    There is nothing "general" about Gmail and how it works with any email client -- it is neither true IMAP nor true POP.
    Gmail service has the All Mail folder, and when accessing as IMAP it is included in the Sidebar. That folder can be excluded from use in Mail -- Do a Google search with Gmail and Advanced IMAP Controls. To enable this particular exclusion, sign on to your Gmail account via your browser, click on Settings, then on Labs, and enable advanced IMAP control. Once that is done, you can then click on the Labels tab in Settings and make some selections, including to exclude the All Mail folder.
    Where in the Sidebar do your see folders relating to Send -- I am unclear about your description of that, and that makes all the difference in what to suggest?

  • Drafts folder relocation Outlook 2013 and Gmail IMAP and multiple saves to trash folder

    Hi,
    I have Office professional 2013 32 bit running on Win 7 64bit. I have an issue that I know has been discussed but I see no resolution.
    The drafts are saved on the server not locally and the trash folder fills with multiple copies of the draft, the number of copies appears to relate to the time of editing the draft. I have to go in and delete these copies in Trash after writing an email.
    Outlook 2013 does not allow me to remap the drafts folder I click unsubscribe and it says the folder is a special folder and cannot be unsubscribed in Outlook. I use the account on my iPhone and this allows me to unsubscribe from the folder.
    Has anyone found a solution or is anyone working on a resolution for this problem?
    Best regards,
    Clive
    Regards, Clive

    I am having a similar problem with trash receiving multiple copies of some drafts. In last 20 minutes 19 copies of a draft have been included in trash. It seems to happen when I view a draft --but not solely

  • Problems with gmail imap and not seeing new messages in inbox

    I have done countless searches and have not been able to find anything that works. I am gathering that mail on the iPhone 4 and the ipad is not illy compatible. Here is what I am having trouble with:
    I recently switched my gmail from pop to imap. The reason behind this is that I could not have mail running on my MacBook and still see my messages on my iPhone 4 or ipad at the same time. What would happen is that any new messages would download onto my MacBook and I could not see them in mail in the inbox on my iPhone and ipad. So, I switched to imap so that I could leave mail running on all my devices and be able to see the same messages no matter what I was viewing them with. Here is the next problem. Now for some reason, only some messages go to the inbox, all of the rest go to the"all mail" folder. Is there a way to fix this so that I can view all of my messages in the "all inboxes" in mail?
    Maybe I am misunderstanding how this is supposed to work but any help is appreciated. I have checked the filter settings in gmail (which I had none) and the labels and still nothing works. I have also verified from the gmail help my mail and gmail settings.
    Hopefully this makes sense. Thanks for the help!
