IPhone (7.0.4)'s gmail email severely out of order and many possibly missing

A friend's gmail in Chrome is fine and looks good. BUT... in my friend's iPhone 4 iOS 7.0.4's apple mail app, mail is sorted somewhat randomly in the Inbox, except for some new messages at the top, and large blocks of emails are possibly missing (hard to tell because the order is so messed up).
I tried deleting and recreating the gmail acct on my friend's iPhone, but it didn't help. I recently (last 4 days) uploaded lots of messages via IMAP into my friend's new gmail account from an imported PST file in Thunderbird, where the messages look fine.
The same problem occurred on my iPhone 5 just for this gmail account; my own gmail account works fine on my iPhone5.
The odd thing is that everywhere else I tried (in browsers in Win7, OSX and iOS) the gmail looks fine; it's just messed up in iOS 704 mail.
Things I tried:
- deleting and recreating the gmail account on the iPhone 4
- turning the mail part off and on in gmail settings in the iPhone 4
- trying my iPhone (iPhone 5); same problem
- installing and using Google Chrome for iOS (works within the Mobile view; didn't use the separate gmail app; this is just a workaround and a hassle).
- On my friend's Windows 7 computer, all the mail appears ok within Google Chrome and Mozilla Thunderbird (IMAP).
NOTES:
- I uploaded about a gig of email in the last 5 days because this gmail account is new.
- I signed up for Backupify.com on the first day (about 5 days ago) but when I logged in to Backupify today, a prominent message appeared that indexing was wrong for my Backupify account and Backupify was currently reindexing the backup.

Do you have Sync Mail Accounts selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences?
If so and the other email accounts are not available there which usually means you are not accessing the accounts with the Mail.app on your Mac, deselect Sync Mail Accounts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences and select Apply and leave this unselected. This only needs to be done once anyway to transfer your chosen email account settings from the Mail app on your Mac to your iPhone automatically so you don't need to manually enter the accounts on your iPhone. This does not need to remain selected and included with the iTunes sync process with each sync especially if the accounts are already created and being accessed on your iPhone.
After deselecting Sync Mail Accounts followed by selecting Apply, manually delete and recreate the accounts on your iPhone in the order you want the accounts listed.

    I'm pretty sure what you need to do is go to Settings>Messages>iMessage>Receive At>Caller ID, and select your phone number and not your email address.

  • Gmail emails sending out of wrong account without my knowledge in Mail app

    I'm having problems with my Mail app sending out emails out of the wrong Gmail account. This was happening to me in Mountain Lion amongst other Mail app headaches, and I was able to fix it after weeks and weeks of troubleshooting. In Mavericks, the Mail app was mostly working correctly.
    When I updated to Yosemite (did a clean install), I thought my Mail app was working correctly. At the end of November, I had some iCloud issues asking for passwords for all my apps. I had to remove iCloud in System Preferences and I added it back on. Anyway, here is my issue:
    1. I have three gmail accounts, let's called them: primary@gmail, subscription@gmail and business@gmail. Over a year ago, I removed the business@gmail from the Mail app because the job was done. The primary@gmail and subscription@gmail were the only active gmail accounts I had in my Mail app.
    2. The beginning of December, I sent some emails out of [email protected] and the emails were in my Sent folder in the Mail app so I knew they were sent out. I didn't receive any responses to my emails and began to wonder. It wasn't until a friend emailed me on my personal@gmail and asked if I was using my business@gmail account again because he said I haven't responded to any of his emails he sent there.
    3. I went into business@gmail in webmail and there were all the emails responses. I forwarded them to my primary@gmail account and in the Mail app I looked at View>Message>Raw Source and I saw that the emails first tried to use my SMTP from primary@gmail but ended up using my business@gmail account which was no longer active in the Mail app. So when the people hit "Reply" to my emails they were sent to business@gmail in webmail.
    What bothers me a lot is that I was not notified by the Mail app that the business@gmail SMTP would be used and I deleted the business@gmail from the Mail app over year ago so I didn't even think of it. 
    I went through my Mail Preferences Account Information and looked at Edit SMTP List. I had all these Gmail SMTPs there so I deleted all of them to start fresh. I left the iCloud SMTP info as it was.
    When I tried to add a new Gmail account in System Preferences under Internet Accounts, it would only allow me to add one Gmail account and not another Gmail account. After a few tries, I was finally able to add the second Gmail account. I did go and look at Accounts in the Mail Preferences and I properly assigned the two Gmail accounts to only use the Gmail SMPT that is assigned to it.
    Here are my questions.
    Do I need to do anything else to make sure that the Gmail accounts in Mail app settings remain as they are and this doesn't happen again. I've made sure that business@gmail is not in my Previous Recipients or in my Contacts.
    I've noticed that the SMTP for iCloud is listed as "None" some of the time and I have to keep selecting iCloud over and over again. I'm hesitate to remove iCloud from my Mail app because I had to do this at the end of November when I had the iCloud password thing happen and I had a big problem getting my Notes data back.
    If I remove the Mail.plist in Users Library, would I have to go through all the settings in Gmail webmail and Mail App or would some of the settings be there? 
    Any help would be appreciated.  

    You set it up, and you failed to distinguish between the SMTP servers or assign the correct one to your copy of Mail (it doesn't actually know which is which, you need to inform it)
    Open Mail>Preferences>Accounts (NOT Mail>Accounts) and go down to the SMTP server list, choose the correct server for each account then check the box that says 'Use Only This Server' for each account.
    This is not automatic, you get to choose and if you don't then this will result.
    Remove the non functional ones.

    Hello Kizzyk,
    I would start with taking a look at the settings to make sure that you are able to send and receive messages. If everything looks good then the next step would be to remove the accounts and add them back in. Take a look at the article below for more information and details on how to troubleshoot your issue further.

  • When I send an SMS message from my Text Message Forwarding enabled Macbook to an Android, it breaks the message up into several out of order chunks. Is there a solution to this?

    I have a 2012 Macbook Air and an iPhone 5, both with up-to-date software. When I set up Text Message Forwarding, everything went according to plan, until I sent a relatively wordy text to a friend (from my Macbook) to a friend on an Android phone. It chopped the text up into several 2 line fragments, and delivered them in seemingly random order. The fragments were specifically 2 lines, and not 160 characters, which is the "limit" you used to get on old SMS messages. It continues to happen.

    Are you using any emoji, or accented characters? If so, try not to. Also, I recall something about a double space at the very end of the text. Unfortunately, I don't remember if you should use them or avoid them.. Beyond that, there's not much you can do. How the text is delivered is under control of the carrier.

  • Q10 email send out is slow and easy get the phone heat to kill the battery life

    I was happy to get the BB Q10 form day one even pay neary $6000. After that I feel I'm stupid of my choose.
    They have ton of problem which I'm not expect will happen on today BB.
    1) email sent out is quite long and time spend than any BB bold . That's mean when I using  roaming, I need to pay more than double cost to send out my email.
    2) if attachment over 2M size, it taken almost 1 min sent out, some time is longer than that. !!!
    3) poor receiver, that's terrible receiver compare with HTC, Phone and Samsung. This is direct inference the data transmission.
    4) stupid function on touch screen for copy and paste ! Why BB delete that function on key pad on Q10 ?? The user take Q10 instead of Z10 because they like the keypad function instead of finger touch. This is command sense, otherwise they don't need Q10 anymore ! I have no idea what Q10 designer thinking ?

    Legacy BBOS used BIS, BB10 does not. In some regions pricing plans with BIS enabled nearly unlimited data when using BIS as the data channel. Since BIS is not in play, the normal data channel is used, incurring whatever fees are dictated by your subscription plan (which is a matter between you and your mobile service provider).

    BIS provided some compression as well as a somewhat dedicated data channel. The generic data plan has neither of those, and hence is subject to whatever issues may exist on that (network congestion, etc.).

    I do not understand this one..."receiver" is not descriptive enough to help understand what you intend to communicate.

    Consider it this way -- nothing was deleted from the past. Rather, BB10 is a totally new OS, built from the ground up. Many of us would have preferred that the designers took into account many of the legacy features and functions, but alas they did not. But that does not mean anything was deleted, for BB10 is totally new...it is NOT an evolution from legacy BBOS.
    Good luck!

  • Can I downsize my pics as they are too large to email several at a time and take up too much space

    I want to make slideshows or powerpoints that I can email. My pics are so large 4 MB and up, i would like to downsize them closer to 600 KB ...can i do that on I Photo?

    Simply, sharing video via email is not advisable.
    Many email services have an attachment limit of 20mb and some a limit of 10mb. As emails are sent through an array of relays, the effective limit is the smallest file size allowed on any of the relays.  That means that video is rarely suitable for emailing.
    Then there's the whole issue of Codecs and not all machines will have the codecs to play all videos. Plus, folks with slower connections can find it very inconvenient to download large video files.
    Finally, sharing video from iPhoto via email is not supported. All that gets you is the Movie thumbnail. If you feel you must share via email then you'll need to export the video first, and attach that. Use the File -> Export command and set the kind  to Original.
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Other than that your options include:
    Upload it to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and email a link - these will allow the recipient to view the material online. That will avoid the codec issues mentions, and the person can still download the video file if they wish.
    Upload it to sharing services like Dropbox or YouSendIt and email a link. This will require that they download the material to their machines to view.

    I was using my iPhone and 'lost' an app. I restored my phone from an earlier backup, but now can't see some of my apps. They are shown as being on the phone in both iTunes and the app store, but clearly aren't on the phone.

  • Songs out of order and split into several "albums". Only in Grid view upon clicking on album.

    Ok this is getting ridiculous! Until two days ago, all was well in my itunes universe. Not so anymore. All tracks on ALL albums are all jumbled, but only when I use Grid view. List view, OK, as are all the others. All the sorting info seems to check out and nothing seems amiss. When I have 10 songs shy of 7000, going album-by-album through the whole library doesn't quite seem viable as an option. Could there be a corrupted plist or preference file somewhere I could trash? I downloaded the latest version, then spent 5 hours restoring Itunes from my last backup and that was before the problem occurred. What gives? I've tried everything I've been able to find on the internet so far and nothing has worked. I've yet to attempt a reinstall as I'm afraid this bother is hiding somewhere in a file that wouldn't be touched by a reinstall. And I'm not willing to live with it as this is my preferred way of interacting with itunes. I have better things to do with my day off than scour the web for a solution that never should have happened in the first place. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time in advance.

    Nevermind, somehow it's magically back in order.

  • When I am syncing my iPhone 4s it's getting to step 6 out of 6 and then saying that it's "waiting for changes to be applied" and then it just stops and never finishes syncing.

    I also have a new mac book pro. I bought it specifically for this reason. I wanted to make using my devices as easy and streamlined as possible.
    ANY ADVICE WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL.
