Gmail Problem on iphone 4S

Hi All,
I encountered the following problem when setting up gmail on my new iPhone 4S:
a. Successfully setting up Yahoo mail
b. Successfully setting up Gmail
c. I set the number of messages to display to 1000
d. Noticed the Archive option for Gmail on my iphone was off
e. Noticed the number of unread mail on my gmail account kept incrementing, all the way to 23,000
f. Went back to my Mac and accessed my gmail through Safari, noticing the total number of email in my inbox was only 11,000
g. Not sure where the remaining 12,000 mail items were coming from
i. Thought I did something wrong, deleted the Gmail account on my iphone
j. Added the Gmail account back in
k. Same thing happened all over again
Any advice on how to fix this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! /Kenny

sometime caused by dropped of internet network connection while email service pulling emails from email provider, usually its resolved after a consistent internet connections.
suggest to off & on the iphone, else remove and re-add the email account.

  • GMAIL Problems with Iphone

    I keep getting an error that says gmail cannot get mail because username and password not accepted. However I do get my email about 50% of the time, I seem to get that error whenever I have only 1-2 bars. Whenever I am home on my wi-fi network I get all my email no problem.
    Also iphone is trying to download all my messages off the server and last time I looked it says I have over 2 billion messages in my inbox, I have nothing close to that in my inbox.
    anyone know how to fix these problems

    cant help you on the first one, but on the second one, go to gmail.com and click settings. click "forwarding and pop" and click "disable pop," then save, then click "mail from now on." it cuts down the load. also, on the phone, go to settings, mail, gmail, advanced, and make sure "recent mode" is on. you should be good.

  • Gmail problem on iPhone

    I set up my 4S(with IOS 5.1.1) to connect to my Gmail account and the set up went fine. However, all new mail goes into the Trash folder on the phone, and the email icon doesn't get flagged. Checked all settings and everything is as it should be,(I think). On my PC, I use Mozilla Thunderbird. Any ideas?

    Did it work out in the end? My iPhone stopped picking up emails too, but only from one of my gmail accounts, the other ones are working as they should, furthermore I can send emails from the account - and I can log on via Safari and also pick up mails from that account from other devices, not just from my main device. Very frustrating - especially as it just happened out of the blue.
    And yes, I have restarted and so forth.

  • Gmail connection problems with iPhone 5C

    I cannot connect to Gmail with a new iPhone 5c (8GB, iOS 8.1.2, carrier is Verizon).  Have had no problems connecting to Gmail with previous iPhone 4 for last two years; have had this new problem with two different 5c phones in the last week since I upgraded the phone.  Verizon supplied a 2nd 5c phone when they could not resolve the problem with the first one, but the results have been the same.
    The specific message I get when entering my Gmail password is "cannot connect to imap.gmail.com".
    Gmail access is fine when using my Windows computer, and my iPad.  I have signed out of my Gmail account on my computer and signed in with the same password, with no problems.
    Verizon has tried the following troubleshooting, with no success:
    - Gmail account was listed in settings/mail,contacts,calendars/Gmail on phone when I initially restored new phone after activation (email address and password were both listed) but still got "cannot connect ...." message when tried to access email and password was requested.
    - changed IMAP to POP
    - deleted email account on phone, powered off phone, then added account back
    - initial problem was with as-supplied software 8.1.1; tried after upgrade to 8.1.2
    Gmail can be accessed using the Gmail app for iPhone, but cannot be accessed using the email icon on the phone; to activate the Gmail app, I have entered my email and password, and it was accpted without a problem. 
    Calendar function has mixed results when connecting to my Gmail-based calendar; it did not work for a while but now has worked for a while.

    With the Gmail app or with Gmail open in Safari or using the native iPhone mail app?

  • I was facing the issue in configuration gmail id in iphone 4 some error smtp u cant send email

    Error in configuration gmail id in iphone 4

    Yes, I have the same problem only with one sender.  Not sure why it is happening, very fustrating, and sure would love to know the solution.  I have been trying to resolve this for a few weeks now.
    the sender told me they just switched providers to Time Warner Road Runner   (carolina.rr.com)
    Emails from this sender always come in to me as:
    "This message can not be displayed because of the way it is formatted.  Ask the sender to send it again using a different format or email program. message/rfc822

  • How do I send video (via gmail) from my iphone?  my laptop does it easily

    I receive video & pics from my friend's attphone (they don't have an iphone) - through my gmail on my iphone.
    I want to respond with a video, but don't know how.
    How do I send (from my gmail on my iphone) a video attachment to my friend?
    I can send them text & pics, no problem - but I'd like to send video clips that I have on my iphone as well.
    I can send video clips from the same gmail account on my computer. How do I do it on my iphone? Is the imap/smtp thing set up wrong? I have outgoing imap and incoming smtp. Is that wrong?
    Thanks for your help

    oh, thanks - that's really sad.
    You'd think they'd have the technology to make that possible.
    I wonder why they don't allow us to work with video.

  • Gmail problem with Mail

    Anyone having problem Syncing iPhone to Gmail? Read/Unread mails doesn't seem to instantly update on the iPhone after I've viewed them on the computer. (I know non-push isn't 'instant' but right now it's taking minutes) And I only get 5 or 6 mails showing in the inbox, it used to display a lot more history in my Gmail inbox even though I've it set up to display 100 messages. (I've tried Push or no Push, same deal). Only been happening this week...

  • Reception / Battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

    There are major reception and battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1.
    I can not believe that Apple did not test this for major bugs like this one is.
    I am a business user and can not effort to have bad reception. Apple wants to gain in the business clients... I never had this with my former BlackBerrys!
    I need a reliable phone not a play thing like this is right now, it just needs it to work propely. And if a major bug like this comes along, fix it immediately. After the iPhone4 story, now this...incredible! Going back to my reliable BlackBerry! It just ain't reliable and takes forever to fix a problem.

    I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
    I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
    I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public.

  • Can I use Google Sync to transfer only my contacts from my IPhone 4 to my gmail acct? I don't want to sync info from Gmail to the IPhone. Can the sync work only one-way? I have 0 contacts on my gmail as I'll only use it as a back-up 4 my IPhone contacts.

    Can I use Google Sync to transfer only my contacts from my IPhone 4 to my gmail account? I do not want to sync info from Gmail to the IPhone. Can the sync work only one-way? I have 0 contacts & 0 calendar events on my gmail account. I opened the Gmail account specifically to for the Google Sync and wil only be using this account as a back-up for my IPhone contacts. Please Help!!

    You do realize that the SIM only contains account information for your wireless account.
    Moving the SIM from phone to phone does not cause any of your iTunes content, contacts, email, etc to magically appear on the device.

    Anyone having problem with iphone getting a not delivered message after sending pic and it really is getting delivered to recipient.

    Same problem here with and I've done everything shy of a total reset which I also find unacceptable. This problem exists on all iMessage platforms (iPhone, iPad, and Mac) so I don't see how restoring my iPhone would help the problem.
