Massive emails in gmail account on iPhone

Although I have emptied the various folders (inbox, all mail, spam, delete) of my gmail account via my mac, when I check my mail on iPhone, my gmail account on there says I have over 4000 messages waiting. I have no idea how this happened, where these messages are, or, worse, how to get rid of the 4000. Can anyone help? thanks — Pierre

This setting has moved in iOS 7.  Go to the Mail settings and select your GMail account as before, but then tap "Account" and then "Advanced" and you'll see the option for where to send your discarded messages.

    Everytime I try to send an email from my gmail account on my phone it says "The connection to the outgoing server "smtp.gmail.com" failed. Additional Outgoing Mail Servers can be configired in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars."

    Can you try to set up your email account again? Delete it from Genereal > Mail, Contacts,... > click on your Gmail > Delete Account and set it up from start.

  • Alias label on emails for gmail accounts on iphone

    I use an alias on my gmail account with Entourage on my MacBook Pro that shows up when sending & replying in Entourage. However, I have not been able to use the alias email labels for messages on my iphone. Is there a way to accomplish this, so that emails originating, forwarding, & replying from my iphone via GMail display the alias email account?

    Go to your archived section and you should delete emails on your account on your computer so you can mark all of them to delete and it can go by faster but does not delete all mail at once.

  • Moving email from gmail account to exchange account on iphone

    I have two accounts set up on my iPhone4S, gmail and exchange (connected to Exchange 2010).  Is it possible to move an email from the gmail account to the Exchange account?  I am unable to find a way to accomplish this.  I can move an email from Exchange to Gmail but not the reverse.

  • I am sending an email from one account on iphone 4s but the replies are coming into another account on my phone

    I have had an iphone 4s for about a year and have 4 email accounts that come in on it: verizon, gmail, my work, and icloud.  Periodically, I send an email from one account, it shows the message as sent from that account in my sent mail, but the recipient receives it from the gmail account and therefore replies to the gmail.  Has anyone had this happen?  It is almost as if my messages are bouncing into gmail when I send them, although on my phone it shows as having been sent from another account.  I have not had this happen on my computer where I have all of these emails coming in as well.  I thought perhaps it was me not being careful about which account I was sending from when using my phone, but the mail I sent this morning I was very careful to make sure was from verizon, the sent mail on my phone shows it was sent from verizon, and the reply came in on gmail.  Gmail isn't even the default email address- verizon is! My iphone is using version 6.1.3. Does anyone have any ideas? This is a major problem for me so I appreciate any ideas!  Thank you!!!

    I am not sure whether this is related, but I had a problem with Gmail where each time I sent and email via my iPhone it would bounce back in my Gmail account as unread. You migh want to check this Google article explaining why this happens and how to avoid it:

  • Failure sending email from MobileMe account on iPhone

    I cannot send emails from my mobileme account on my iPhone, the following error appears: connection to the outgoing mail server 'smtp.me.com' failed.
    I have my gmail account set up and this works fine, any ideas?
    Thanks

    One thing that might help out.
    Try a reset by holding down the home button and power button at the same time until you see an apple logo.
    If the reset does not work, one more thing to try.
    Remove the account from the iphone by going to settings > mail, contacts calendars > your MobileMe account.
    Scroll to the bottom and tap the delete account button.
    Reset the iphone by using the 2 buttons again.
    Now set the MobileMe account back up on the iphone.
    Hope this helps.

  • Two inboxes for my Gmail account in iPhone mail

    I recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 5 and found one problem. I set up my Gmail account on my iPhone and see two inboxes for it. They are identical, I delete one mail in one inbox, the deleted mail disappear in the other inbox too. It's not a big problem just kind of annoying thing.
    Does anyone here has the same problem?

    I had the same issue.
    I eventually fixed it by setting up my email from scratch, after removing it from my IOS device, but this time set it up using "Other" rather then "Gmail". I used the details from http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78799 (if this link does not appear in English, try searching for IMAP settings in GMail's help). After set-up I had to match sent, drafts and deleted folders with the ones on the server. I also had to close e-mail and settings apps, start e-mail, sync all, then go to settings again in order for the IMAP folders to appear in the advanced settings for matching.
    Note, using IMAP like this may require an update of your GMail settings on how to delete vs. archive mail when using IMAP, or you may end up never deleting e-mail unintentionally.

  • Setting up gmail account on iPhone.

    Hi, I have a new iphone and I'm trying to set up my gmail existing account. I'm using the same gmail password that I'm using to access my gmail account on my Mac Book laptop, but my phone keeps rejecting the password. I don't have any other passwords so I'm not sure of what to do or whom to ask for advice. I'm hoping there is someone clever and helpful out there in Apple Land who can point me in the right direction. Many thanks, your answers are very much appreciated. Martina.

    Copied from Google Support:
    Invalid Password Prompt. If you see an error message that reads "Invalid Password", it's likely that you'll need to unlock your account by solving a short CAPTCHA. Go to https://www.google.com/accounts/UnlockCaptcha and, if asked to, fill in your email address, password, and the letters in the CAPTCHA box.

  • Deleted a duplicate gmail account on iPhone, contacts disappeared!

    Somehow I had 3 duplicate gmail accounts in Mail on my iphone 4s. To clean up the duplicate messages, I deleted one of the identical accounts. ALL of the contacts suddenly disappeared from my phone. I tried turning Contacts off and on in iCloud, but it didn't recover the contacts. I synced in iTunes. Nada. I went to my laptop to check out my Contacts from Gmail. The Contacts I have there are at least 3 or 4 years old, no recent contacts. How can I recover my iphone contacts???? Help!!!

    relog with the previous account. contacts have a weird connection with identifications and emails and all that. go to settings>mail>recieve mail at___> it should reappear if u connect to itunes
    ~hope it helped

  • Unable to create new email from Gmail account in Mail

    I just installed gmail to retrieve messages within Mail: I can receive gmail messages and reply to gmail from Mail. However, I cannot create and send a new message in Mail using my gmail account; when I do I get the following error message:
    Enter Password for Account
    smtp.gmail.com:xxxx[account name]
    The SMTP server "smtp.gmail.com" rejected the password for user "xxx[account name]"
    Please re-enter your password, or cancel.
    No matter how many times I add it correctly and click OK, the same message returns.

    Google provides instructions for setting up a Gmail
    account in Mail here:
    http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13
    275
    Make sure you’ve set up the account as described
    there.
    That is what I used to set up my gmail account in Apples Mail App before your post. Those instructions say that when you click on the Advanced Tab that the port will switch to 995 - which it did for me. I do have a minor problem though. Is there any way to prevent emails sent from Mail via gmail from showing up in gmails web page? I don't really like web mail whatsoever!
