N97 and gmail setup!

Hi guys.
I managed to set up my email account perfectly.
A little too perfect however!!
When I log onto my gmail, my inbox is empty, all messages have been read, however on my phone I have 100's of unread messages.
It seems to include all the messages that are recieved set to "mark as read" through gmail.
I have tried "archiving all of these emails in the hope that the phone would only pick up email in the inbox but with no success.
Is there any way to set the  phone to only access the inbox?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I bought a dinc and liked it a lot. I purchased an app from Xtralogic called Remote Desktop which is a great app! My problem is that the dinc had problems and I(within the 30 days) went with a Droid X. I love the X and wanted to use my Remote Desktop app on it. When the salesperson was helping move everything from the dinc to the X he could not move this app. I got an answer from the Xtralofic people and they said I could use the same email from the dinc and see it in the app store. This is where my problem starts. I could not remember the password for the gmail account and setup another one. Now I have tried to add the original email in hopes I would be able to see the RD app and install it but no joy. When I try to remove the DX gmail it tells me it will reset the phone to factory settings. I can't do that as I have 200+  contacts, pictures and phone numbers and such I dont want to lose. How can I change the default email to the dinc gmail without losing everything?????
Do  you have your contacts synced on your Dinc with your primary gmail email address?  If so, you won't lose them because once you recover your password, you can sync it to your Droid X.  You shouldn't lose your pics if saved to your SD card when you return to the factory settings. I did not when I did it to my Droid X shortly after getting it.

  • Email client for N97 and Gmail THAT WORKS . . . .

    Hi
    After a year, yes, that's right, a year of trying to get my Nokia N97 to work as an email client for Gmail using Nokia Messaging without it just simply stopping for days on end I finally found something that works (or at least appears to so far!). You have to pay US$ 24 for it but you get 30 days free and it really does work inc IMAP push mail. It's called Profimail from www.lonelycatgames.com.
    PS I don't work for them . . .

  • IMAP setup for .Mac account and Gmail

    I've been trying to use my .Mac account and Gmail with mixed results. I have been using Mac mail for some time and have my folder structure setup for personal and work. Now I want to add a work Gmail account and simply have a separate inbox for the Gmail account. I store messages from both accounts into the folders I have in the .Mac account.
    Gmail caused all sort of issues using IMAP in this structure, basically creating another series of folders below the .Mac folder tree. The inbox structure was fine and I could stored Gmail messages into the .Mac folders. But there were duplicate copies of the messages in the Gmail IMAP structure. I wasn't sure if I should just delete the Gmail structure, but the duplicates were driving me crazy whenever I did a message search.
    Now I've backed Gmail down to POP and I have all sort of sync problems between my laptop and desktop systems. On my laptop it shows no mail, but when I check Gmail. There is mail in my inbox.
    Does anyone have an idea about how to use two IMAP accounts successfully in Apple Mail?

    Okay. This has got to be a common issue. And I think I have it solved.
    The secret is using an IMAP prefix of "IMAP" and then creatin labels of "IMAP/Foldername" on Gmail.
    It's all generously explained on these links:
    First setup IMAP on Google like this: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77663&topic=12814
    Then follow the advice here: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2008041016554622

  • Apple Mail and Gmail IMAP

    With the iPhone coming to Verizon soon, I'd like to move back to Apple Mail from Gmail, but still want to keep Gmail as my source because my domain is setup with Google Apps but mostly because of the unparalleled spam filtering Gmail has. My problem is that even though I've configured Apple Mail exactly as Google recommends (shown below), I still have some issues.
    From the Mail menu, click Preferences > *Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors*
    Drafts:
    Store draft messages on the server > *do NOT check*
    Sent:
    Store sent messages on the server > *do NOT check*
    Junk:
    Store junk messages on the server > checked
    Delete junk messages when > Never
    Trash:
    Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox > *do NOT check*
    Store deleted messages on the server > *do NOT check*
    I want to have true IMAP functionality here, but I'm not getting it. Sent messages work fine...if I send a message, it shows up in Apple Mail in the Sent folder and when I go to Gmail it is also in the Sent folder. BUT...when I delete a message in Apple Mail it goes to the Gmail *All Mail* folder (in Apple Mail and Gmail) and never shows up in the Gmail Trash on either Apple Mail or Gmail...where it should. I've tried changing the settings under *Apple Mail > Trash* but that doesn't fix the problem.
    I realize some of you might be inclined to say "It's Google problem...ask there" but I'm hoping a Gmail user here might have had this same issue before. Even as a dedicated Apple person for many years, I still can't give up Gmail and their spam filtering that Apple Mail can't come close to. Thanks for any suggestions.

    Thanks, Andy. I should have posted a closure statement on this thread as I finally figured everything out. The most frustrating thing is Google's own advice at http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78892# couldn't further from correct. After many hours of experimenting with settings, I finally came up with the correct ones. In fact, I'm in the process of writing an article about it since there is simply no definitive guidance on the web that I've been able to find in the time I've searched.
    Your comments are on target...everything on the *Behaviors Tab* needs to be checked (excepts Notes) and the *Delete when* settings must be set to Never. But there are a few other things that must be done, including some changes on Gmail Settings before Mail and Gmail will be perfectly synchronous. I'll post the entire solution on this forum when I finish the graphics.

  • Can I go back to Firefox 7? I want to enable the Google toolbar agai. My contacts were lost and gmail doesn't work the previous way.

    I use Windows 7 Home Premium and gmail with contacts in Google toolbar. The contact list was lost, when Firefox 8.0 is used, and the gmail setup is changed and unsatisfactory.

    To revert to the previous secure version which is 3.6.17, please do the following:<br><br>
    #Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop.<br><br>
    #Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).<br><br>
    #Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox<br><br>
    #Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.<br>
    Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.<br><br>
    After you complete the installation, go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update where necessary.

  • Problem with Apple Mail and GMail

    Can anyone help me with the following problem. I use Apple Mail as my client and GMail iMap as my server. When I create mails I often get a problem (I think caused by the trackpad) where the mouse jumps and I seem to generate a spurious draft email. The result is that I have a mailbox called "All Mail" in the Mail sidebar which contains over 10,000 messages, even though I only have a few hundred real messages (inbox, sent and spam) and my drafts folder is empty. In this mailbox there are numerous versions of the same emails saved during the creation of the email, all slightly different. I just don't understand what is going on.

    Hi There

    POP access on yahoo accounts is not free. A yahoo mail plus account is needed.
    As far as I am aware Hotmail does not allow any POP access at all. I couldn't find any specific information on POP access in Hotmail's help site.
    Hope this helps

    Hi,
    Personally I'm not experiencing this issue with my Outlook with Gmail setup via IMAP.
    Delete the Outlook Profile from Control Panel -> Mail, Open Outlook and setup a new profile, check if this problem persists. You can also try with another account except the Gmail account, test if this is only Gmail related.
    You can also open Event Viewer to research deeper:
    Press Win key + R, type "eventvwr" in the blank box, press Enter.
    Find errors about Outlook from Windows Logs -> Application, this may help find the root cause.

  • Mavericks 10.9.3 and Gmail horror story!

    I am completely FRUSTRATED!
    One week this has been happening. My Gmail is not loading on my iMac, iPhone and iPad.
    Spent days with level 2-tier tech support.
    As an experiment, I created a brand new gmail. Tested it out on all 3 - and POOF! it worked ine a flash!
    I went back and put my original gmail address in and nothing but TROUBLE!
    What is going on here?
    Apple said to call "google" and that my gmail account is not working right.
    Why would one email address be totally fine, and not another?
    FYI: I tried my gmail on my girlfriends iPhone and it did NOT go through. I tried her gmail on MY iphone and it worked!
    Help???

    Take a look at the other issues that appear to relate to this…
    https://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?resultTypes=&dateRange=all&peopleEnabl ed=true&q=gmail+slow+sync&containerType=&container=&containerName=&username=&ran kBy=date&showOnlyAnswered=true&numResults=15
    (that searches for 'gmail slow sync', and sorts by date).
    There seems to be many users with what looks similar… some users found it starts working, others are still lost
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5537223?start=0&tstart=0
    I think you should pick a thread & start going through the suggestions, making a note of what you try to avoid repeating yourself.
    Anecdotally I have Gmail setup on 10.9 & iOS 7, so it can work.
    Create a new user account to the Mac (in System Preferences> Users & Groups), setup Mail in that account and see if it works. Personally I have 'All Mail' hidden in IMAP, Gmail behaves fine, messages do not duplicate on iOS or OSX Mail.
    P.S. I'd also suggest that you avoid handing out the new email if possible, set the old account to forward into it in Gmails control panel. You can read your mail on iOS that way. Just remember you will need to reply from the web interface otherwise the from address will be the new account.
    Sorry this is a lousy workaround, but if gmail suddenly starts to work you can dump the new account if no-one has the address.

  • OS2 Issues: Browser and Gmail

    I just installed the new release of the OS. In Accounts I had no issues to get Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin setup. However, with Gmail it just won't let me, saying that the user name or password are wrong. I have 2-step authentication setup in my Google accounts. Could that be the problem? The device is authenticated, as in I could get it to work via the browser before.
    ...which brings me to the second problem: The browser just won't load. It opens with everything greyed out, after a few seconds the address bar shows and the browser exits immediately after. I tried rebooting, but no luck. Any idea of what could be wrong?

    Good news! I figured out the Gmail issue: If you have 2-step verification enabled for your Gmail accounts, DON'T use your normal password. You will need to use a one-off application specific password...  Instructions here: http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/static.py?h​l=en&page=guide.cs&guide=1056283&answer=185833&rd=​...
    As for the browser issue, I am still stuck. Is there a way to reinstall just the browser?

  • Hotmail and Gmail as Exchanges

    Hi, I have configured hotmail and gmail as exchange accounts so to sync or use my google contacts on my iPhone 4S (5.1.1).
    Latetly when I try sending emails using gmail they are being sent via hotmail exchange instead of m.google.com. I don't remember until when this was working but was working atleast before 5.1.1.
    Currently I have my hotmail account disabled/inactive (by switching off mail) to make my gmail work as it should be.
    Will appritiate your help in addressing this issue.
    I have deleted both accounts and setup from scratch one after another and issue still remains
    Thank you,
    Ravi.

    Try to remove Hotmail account
    *** Power off iPhone ***
    Power on iPhone
    Add Hotmail account and test.
    I had the same exact problem after updating to iOS 5.1.1. I called into Apple Care (2-3 hrs) and went to the Genius Bar (2hrs). They all claimed it was my fault for forwarding email accounts. One suggested solution was to restore and setup as new, yet the problem still occured after I let them restore the iPhone. Some how I believe in iOS 5.1.1 the active sync is messed up. Everyone instead of taking ownership of the problem all says it's Hotmail's issue or Gmail's issue. Why is it not Apple's issue who wrote the code for iOS 5.1.1? Prior to v5.1.1 they didn't have a Hotmail (Exchange) setup. It was setup via smtp/mapi. The simple reboot inbetween adding/removing accounts works. (IMHO, this sounds like an Apple iOS issue to me.)

  • Outlook and Gmail

    I have Outlook 2013 and Gmail account. Whenever I open Outlook, the programme immediately stops. I cannot open Outlook and receive/send any emails. This was not always the case. Office has been uninstalled and re-installed. Is there an issue with the interface

  • Gmail Setup Failed!! Help!!!

    I just got an iphone yesterday and i LOVE it. So much better than my old At&t 8525 which froze 20 times a day. The only problem I have been having though is with my Gmail setup. I click the Gmail button and enter my @gmail.com address and my password. It tries to connect and tells me that it cannot connect through SSL, so I try without and it says that network isn't responding. I am using an original Gmail account, not forwarding another email accounts mail through gmail. Any ideas?

    I already have my POP settings enabled in my account. Still doesn't work

  • "Mail" erased everything and re-setup

    I have no idea what happened. Yesterday I opened Mail like normal and the setup thing popped up. I restarted my computer...just in case. But next time I opened it the same thing. I re-setup with my same gmail account, and then I saw that all of my emails from the past 3 years have been deleted - every saved email. Everything except my RSS feeds. It completely started from scratch. I doubt there's anything I can do - but if there is, please help! *Thankfully, I do still have many of my messages on my actual gmail account, however, I've lost some as well, not to mention the different mailboxes and folders that helped organize the mess.

    The loss of the plist by overwriting can cause this. This can happen if temporarily there is a lack of free space on the hard drive, or if partitioned, on the boot partition. Do you use any video or audio editing software that might use a lot of space suddenly?
    It can also happen if you close the lid on your laptop before Mail has finished its housekeeping tasks.
    When this happens, if you re-enter the account info and decline to import anything, Mail would normally rediscover the existing account folders, which are not overwritten or lost.
    Since most Gmail accounts are set up as IMAP, there should be no loss to remove the account and add it back. However, if the account was set up as POP, and the above situation happens, and you fail to decline the offer to import, the POP account folder can then be lost. But that can be regained as well since it is Gmail.
    More info, please.

  • Yahoo and Gmail are missing push inbox option in iOS 6.1.4

    Dear all,
    I would really appreciate of someone comes with a solution for push notifications using yahoo and gmail on iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.4.
    I am missing option for push notifications in bough email accounts (yahoo and gmail).
    I have read somewhere that it has been cut for the native companies. If this is the case then I am missing some of the most distinguished features on the iPhone because these are the email account I am regularly using.
    I have tried with yahoo and gmail apps but it seems it is ot working for me well. I would rather have integrated email in the mail app.
    Any comments, suggestions and informations will be very appreciated.
    Thank you in advance
    Victor

    Gmail does not support push email in the native iOS mail app. I can't comment on Yahoo as I dumped them years ago because their servers were so unreliable.
    If it makes you unhappy, contact Google and Yahoo. There's nothing anyone else can do about it.
