No mail in gmail inbox on iphone

My inbox in gmail on iphone is always empty. Messages from inbox that I delete on computer will show up on iphone in deleted box and sent messages show, but not inbox. Why? and How to fix?

Hi folks,
I wonder if you can help my receving email problem after spending 3 hours on phone to Apple trying to configure my Sky email to work on my Iphone 3g. Basically it wouldn't let it set up as either a pop or imap account via iphone set up - wouldn't validate properly. I've enabled IMAP on Sky as well as pop. So in the end we tried syncing via itunes. This worked but then it wouldn't accept the Sky password. So then we changed the password and that seemed to work - well now I can send emails and also receive emails from myself - ie if i email myself from my Sky email on the laptop it arrives in iphone box but nothing else does and inbox is constantly empty!! Please help if you have any ideas. I just don't know what to try next. My inboxes on my iphone work fine using a google email and mobile me but it just doesn't seem to accept the one email i need it to - Sky!! Many thanks for any tips.

How do I keep duplicate messages in Mail and Gmail?

For the past few years messages would appear in both my Mail and Gmail inboxes. If I deleted a message in Gmail, the duplicate would REMAIN in Mail. Therefore, I could keep some messages in my gmail account that pertained to work and delete their duplicates in Mail (since I wouldn't need them at home). Likewise, I could keep some messages organized in my Mail folders and delete their counterparts in the Gmail account.
At some point I must've downloaded an update or something because the accounts are now totally synced. If I delete a message in my Gmail inbox (or even move it to a Gmail folder), it vanishes from my Mail inbox.
I know this is how most people like these programs to work together, but is there a way to revert it back to the way it was? I tried toggling off POP, then testing it (didn't work). Then I toggled off IMAP (still didn't work). Then I toggled both of them off (still didn't work). My Mail account is listed as IMAP for what it's worth.

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.

I synced two of my email accounts via gmail's POP3 thing. But now my iphone's gmail inbox shows a random selection of emails (not most recent ones that are in my inbox). How can I make my iphone inbox match what I see when I log on using a PC?

I synced two of my email accounts via gmail's POP3 capabilities. But now my iphone's gmail inbox only shows a random selection of emails (i.e. right now it is May 31, 2013 but the emails in my inbox are a couple from Nov 12, a few from Oct 12, and then some way older than that and so on.When I log into my gmail from a computer, I see all my emails in the logical, standard order. How can I make my iphone inbox match what I see when I log on using a PC?

If you're trying to decide between using POP and IMAP, we encourage you to use IMAP.
Unlike POP, IMAP offers two-way communication between your web Gmail and your email client. This means when you log in to Gmail using a web browser, actions you perform on email clients and mobile devices (ex: putting mail in a 'work' folder) will instantly and automatically appear in Gmail (ex: it will already have a 'work' label on that email the next time you sign in).
IMAP also provides a better method to access your mail from multiple devices. If you check your email at work, on your mobile phone, and again at home, IMAP ensures that new mail is accessible from any device at any given time.
Finally, IMAP offers a more stable experience overall. Whereas POP is prone to losing messages or downloading the same messages multiple times, IMAP avoids this through two-way syncing capabilities between your mail clients and your web Gmail.

New mail in Gmail doesn't apper on iphone 4s without forcing it to download new messages

New mails in GMail doesn't appear on iPhone 4S without forcing it to download new messages
I was using hotmail in my iPhone 4S but many people suggested me to use GMail account because it is good for Syncing. I also have Mac so i ditched the hotmail and configured GMail account. Now everything works fine on my Mac but not in my iPhone 4S. When a new email comes to my inbox, my Mac display it normally but as far as my iPhone 4S is concerned, it doesn't show even a notification. However when i force it to download the new message by clicking the cricular arrow, it load them and shows them as well. It is not normal because it should do the same thing automatically, not manually. Do you know,how to fix it? AOL mail comes right though, both have the same settings.

DId you try, settings, notifications?
under your gmail or whatever mail you have you can choose to fetch every 15 minutes, hour, or manually. Sounds like you are on manually, when you open your email.
MAnually does save battery though.

Apple Mail, iPad & iPhone mail with GMail imap

Hi,
I'm using a MacBook Pro 13", a iPad 4 (actual retina) and an iPhone 4.
I have issues using apple mail with my Gmail imap account :
Only the inbox seem to be fully compatible with every device I use, but the outbox, for example, seem not to be the same box on all device.
when I send a mail from my MacBook, the sended mail doesn't appear in the Mail's classical outbox but in a sub-box of Gmail box on the bottom, and I can't find any trace of the mail on iPhone/iPad.
Is there anything I can do to make that I have the same Inbox, Outbox, Draft, Spam and Trash boxes in all my device and server.
I tryied with iCloud mail account and this works perfectly !!
If it's not possible, is it possible to set my icloud mail account to be with my own domain name as it is on my Gmail acount ?
thanks

On iOS, there is no local configuration for the Sent Mail. for Gmail, it automatically goes to the Sent Mail folder. But Sent Mail only shows up when you tap Gmail under the Account setings, not in Inboxes. For OSX, however, you may be able to configure a designated folder (that can be either on the local machine or on the account server). To be honest, I can't recall where that configuration is, and do not have the MBP in front of me. This article may help (or provide links to instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5361

Iphone Mail with Gmail

Hello,
I just received my Iphone and managed to set up my gmail Imap account quickly and efficiently, it works beautifully.
The problem is I have another alias on the same account and I would like to add it in.
I was told that in the settings page I could go to email address and put a comma in plus the alias and it would all work... it doesnt.
There is no comma option in the email address box for the account.
Can someone help with this? Am I adding it to the wrong box?
In an idea world I would like to be able to choose whether I send with the alias or the main address within mail without having to add a new account
Thanks in advance
Alex

Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password. On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

Why aren't all incoming messages going to Gmail- Inbox, but they're in All Mail?

Sorry if this has been answered, I haven't seen a suitable answer anywhere.
I have lots of incoming emails I can only view in the All Mail folder nested under Gmail, but they never showed up in Inbox. Is there a reason or setting new emails are only seen in All Mail but not Inbox? How can I fix this?
I'm using the newest TB, don't know anything about imap/pop settings. I really appreciate any info you can provide, thanks!

First thing I'd check are the filters for that account. Both in T-bird and on gmail itself. Tools > Message Filters
Next, I'd check to see where they actually are. Open (click on) your "All Mail" folder > Right click the column header > Check "Location" (see image). This will add a column that indicates the folder(s) in which your messages are located.
Once you check these 2 things we can go from there. Screenshots may help http://www.worldtruth.org/document/69/screenshot-how-to/
T-bird will usually use the correct IMAP/POP settings automatically using the Mozilla data-base.

Mutt/Offlineimap Sent mail is showing up in Gmail Inbox

Hi,
I am just starting my journey with mutt and quite like the interface thus far but I am having trouble with sent emails showing up in my Gmail inbox. It is a little annoying to always have my sent emails appear as unread in my inbox. In my search for a solution I have found that this behavior sometimes occurs if you have Gmail filters that are set to never send to spam, I checked and do not have any such filters. This could also happen if I had $record set, but I have specifically unset record. My muttrc and offlineimaprc are as follows (I used several tutorial sites to help create these) (I have hashed out some personal details):
muttrc

I use msmtp to send the emails (and they do send) but as far as I know that program should have nothing to do with my folder labeling.
What happens exactly: When in mutt, I press 'm' and compose an email and send with 'y'. Oddly enough, the email appears in my gmail inbox (the webmail) even before I sync mutt with offlineimap (I don't automatically sync). Once I sync, I see the email in both my sent mail and inbox.
Any thoughts would be appreciated

You have unset the record variable.

TS4083 My folders that message rules divert emails to don't update when I open Mail on my iPad or iPhone. Only the inbox does. I have to click on each folder for it to update. Is there a way around this? The folders update on my mac fine when i check mail

My folders that my message rules on iCloud divert emails to don't update when I open Mail on my iPad or iPhone. Only the inbox does. I have to click on each folder individually for it to update. A real pain as I have about 30 folders. Is there a way around this ? The folders update on my mac fine when i check mail without having to select each one of them. Can the iPad and iPhone do the same thing?

My Mac has 4 mail accounts coming into it, but you are correct, one of them is a POP account, (and unfortunately it is the main @ account, and is the one associated with my apple id, since we've had it for years). I couldn't figure out how to replace this with the Imap version, short of deleting that account entirely.
Is this what I have to do?
Thanks for your help!
