Setting up "Archive" in Gmail

I've tried using the archive function with my Gmail account, but Apple Mail keeps creating an IMAP folder called "Archive". Is there a way to configure Apple Mail to where it treats archived messages the same as iOS 4 (sending them to the "All Mail" folder)? This new function in 10.7 could be very useful if there is a way to configure it properly.
Thanks,
W. Stuller

I agree. The Archive feature in iOS simply removes the selected message from the Inbox and keeps it in All Mail, exactly how the Archive feature works on the gmail website. But in Lion Mail, the Archive button moves the selected message to a new mailbox called Archive, not what most gmail users would want.
It seems strange to me that two Apple products would have the same feature and yet have two different outcomes.
The Archive feature in Lion Mail works well with mobileme and other IMAP accounts because with these accounts the Archive functionality on the web does move messages to an Archive folder. But gmail is different. The iOS developers seem to understand this, but I guess they weren't talkign to the Lion Mail developers.
A simple setting in Lion Mail to select how to handle the Archive feature for every account would fix this, as most of us many of us have a combination of gmail and other IMAP accounts.

IOS 8 mail app only archives even when set to delete for gmail

iOS 8 and Gmail is behaving oddly with regard to delete and is still only archiving them. Option IS set to the delete option in the account setup and not archive. I have read the Apple guideance documents on deleting and archiving in Gmail accounts.
In iOS mail app in gmail account , long swipe left (delete), short swipe left then choose trash and short swipe and choose move to trash all have the same effect on message. The message disppears from inbox and if you look in the trash folder for the gmail account you momentarily see message as it syncs with server then the message disappears from trash folder. (looking directly at server shows message not present).
However looking at the "All mail" gmail folder shows message STILL present there.
Compare with the iOS Gmail app. Delete a message from inbox and it appears in trash folder and stays there. At this time it is also still present in the All Mail folder. Choose then to delete forever option and disappears from both Trash AND the All Mail folder.
iOS Mail app with Gmail accounts appears with the TRASH option only to move emails to trash locally but then as soon as sync with server it disappears from the Trash folder with no further action but remains in the All Folder. This is in effect an Archive. It should
work as as the Gmail iOS app - messages deleted or trashed are moved to Trash (from where they can be restored ) and remain there till deleted permantly manually or the Trash can is automatically purged after set time on server.

Seems to work properly for me. Are we looking at the same place? to instruct it to Delete instead of Archive:
In Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > (select account) > Account (select your e-mail address) > Advanced.
Mailbox Behavior for Deleted Mailbox: Trash.
then
Move Discarded Messages Into: Deleted Mailbox.
It wasn't this way by default. Move Discarded was Archive, and it gave the results you described. Changing that to Deleted works for me.
I set the Swipe left-to-right to Archive. So now one swipe will Archive, the other will Delete.
oooh... p.s.... this seems to work as well:

Hi,
According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

If the earlier archive session resulted in error, please try to invalidate the earlier session in archive management and try running archive job again.

Set the archive bit on files in a folder?

While viewing files on my Mac from Windows machines on my network, the archive bit seems to be set on the files in soe directories. Setting the archive bit from the Windows machine appears to work, but the bit doesn't really get reset, as a quick refresh of the directory shows.
Is there a way to (re-)set the archive bit (or any of the read/hidden/system/archive bits) for files on a drive that is neither NTFS nor FAT32? Does OS X allow for the setting of these bits?

No contacts show up after setting up CardDav with gmail- any idea how to fix?

No contacts are showing up after setting up CardDav with gmail. Any idea why?
Here is how i setup CardDav (with no success)
1. I removed my old gmail account that was setup with the Exchange protocol, checked that my Exchange-Gmail contacts were no longer showing in my Contacts app, then rebooted my iPad.
2. I setup my gmail contacts with the CardDAV protocal as per google's instructions (which match everyone's instructions when I googed to troubleshoot). Google's instructions can be found here: http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2753077 .
3. No contacts showed up in my contacts app. I have verified all of Google's troubleshooting tips such as ensuring SSL in enabled, etc. There were no problems or error messages when verifying my username and password. I also checked to make sure my contacts were in Google's "My Contacts" group, which they were.
After pulling my hair out a little, removing the account and going through the steps over and over for an hour, I have given up and gone back to syncing my contacts with the Exchange protocol as per: http://support.google.com/a/users/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740 . My contacts show up instantly with this method.
I would like to get cardDAV working, since Google is phasing out Exchange ActiveSync, and CardDAV seams to support more fields etc (although it is not Push sadly).
Any ideas? Thanks for your reply if you can think of anything.

Hey there AppJunkie ...
I'm having this issue too. The odd thing about it is that when using my iOS devices, all of the contacts (and other address books) all show up exactly as I expect and want them to. Now, on Mac OS X, that's a different story. There doesn't seem to be the same functionality between the two Apple operating systems.
Quite frustrating, as I have clients who expect these to work with no problem on their Mac desktops, since their mobile devices work perfectly. They let me know their mobile devices work, and they want the problem fixed. I have nothing I can say or even suggest. It is very discouraging.
I have not been able to find any fix or workaround for this, unfortunately.

How to set no archive log in MS SQL

Dear Gurus,
I'll already did the support package upgrade and need to run the SGEN.But before that I'll need to set the archive log in MS SQL 2005 database.
Kindly please help me,how to set "no archive log " in MS SQL .Then I can run the SGEN.After that how to revert back to "enable archive log mode".
All the posting told about the archive log with Oracle.
Thanks
/Shah

Hi Shah,
In MS SQL Server, Transaction log is used to write log files.
For eg., Intially if you allocate 10GB to the Tr.Log and can set the limit based on your requirement, say as 11GB. It means it wont grow beyond the point 11GB.
If you take a transactional log backup, the data present in the 10GB file is freed up, but the size of the file would remain same.
This can be truncated by shrinking the log file.
1. Open SQL Mgmt studio.
2. Right click on the DB(SID)> Tasks>Shrink-->Files.
3. Choose "Log" in the file type and "Log File Name" in the Filename column.
4. Shrink Action should be "Release Unused Space"
5. Then Click Ok. The unused space will be released.
The Transaction log can be switched off by changing the Recovery Model to "SIMPLE"
1. Click on the DB(SID)
2. Properties>Options>Recovery Model.
3. If the recovery model is set to Simple, the Transaction log wont be written.
Hope this would help you. Revert for any other clarification.
Regards,
Kamesh

How to handle the "Must set build.archive.dir"?

Hi friends,
When i run my application i see the given bug:
C:\Users\user\Desktop\ticketing\nbproject\build-impl.xml:91: Must set build.archive.dir
i will appreciate it if anybody help me

Right. But the parameter screen is driven by the viewer. Unless you create your own parameter screen and pass the parameters to the report via code.
Another thing I am not sure about:
"Then by code I want to read all the employees id from the report and send email to them with specified pages of the report. (1 page per employee)"
How do you plan on reading the employee ID from the report? I am not aware of any API that will read a value in a report so that you can then decide what page to send to whom.
I think you're approaching this kinda backwards. A question to ask is; can you do what you are trying to do in code in the CR designer? If not, using APIs will not work either. I suspect your approach should be a report that uses an employee filter. Run the report for employee x, get the report populated with the data for that employee and email it. Repeat for employee x1, employee x2, etc.

I cannot get my "send link" option under the File menu to work. Nothing happens. I went under Tools, Options, Applications and set it to my Gmail but no luck. No error messages, but the Gmail window never launches.

Phillipp,
I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.

Setting up email with Gmail with Muse site hosted on BC

Help! I am new to all of this so any help is appreciated! Here is my problem:
Bought Domain name from GoDaddy, threw up a jpeg placeholder, and set up emails using gmail. All worked fine.
I designed a site in Muse, took down the jpeg thru Godaddy, and am now hosting site through Business Catalyst. Now when I try to email something to this address, it gets kicked back with this message:
Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:
[email protected]
Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain consigningwomensc.com by mx.consigningwomensc.com.cust.b.hostedemail.com. [64.98.36.4].
The error that the other server returned was:
554 5.7.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: user [email protected] does not exist
I can log into gmail and send from that account (I am the administrator) but I can't send TO the account without getting a kickback.
Can anyone shed some light or some guidance for this issue before my client notices!?
Thanks!

The domain consigningwomensc.com is redelegated to BC and the MX records are setup to point to our mail servers (which is invalid because you cannot create email accounts in free Creative cloud sites as those are webBasics) and hence the email bounced as the mail account doesn't exist at our end.
I believe you're using Google apps for your email accounts so what you need to do here is to login to your site admin and delete the current MX record and re-create the MX through the More Actions tab while choosing "Use your Google Apps account for email".
Thanks,
Vinayak

Deleted mails on mobile are archived in gmail / go...

I am using nokia messaging with google mail on my E75. Everything is working almost fine. Except I delete a mail from my mobile this mail also disapears from the googlemail inbox, but is being moved to the archived mails. With my old N81 and direct access via IMAP mails were deleted on the server when deleting on the mobile. Does someone know any settings I missed?? Or is it a bug??

Solved!

There's a GMail setting for this behavior. Please see this blog entry on Google's site: archive GMail messages

Why not both trash and archive for gmail? & Save draft?

1. For gmail that I'm through with, I understand I can go to settings and choose to have it either trashed (moved to trash file) or archived (moved to all mail file). But, why an either/or choice? Why can't there be both icons for trash and archive? They are pretty different functions, each useful.
If Mail is incapable of this, is there another email app that can do it?
2. How do you save a draft of an email?

Setting it to archive is a one time step that is applied to the account.
Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calenders>
Sellect the gmail account you want then slide "On" the Archive Messages feature on this page.
From the inbox you do have the the 2 options you're after and both take 2 clicks. One is the archive icon (an arrow pointing into a box. This send mail to the All Mail folder and the 2nd is an arrow label on a folder. The second option is the move function and with 2 click a message is trashed from your inbox.

Deleted Mailbox set to Trash

HT4207 How do I archive my Gmail messages to a certain folder, let's say to "MyArchive" rather than to "All Mail"?

I don't like to use All Mail -folder as a archive folder because then I cannot only deleted messages by OSX Mail. All Messages includes every mail in every folder, not just archived messages.
If I turn archive feature off then deleted messages will be directed to Bin folder that has 30 days permament auto-deletion. If I turn it on then archived messages will go to All Mail -folder. I have tried to use the Deleted Mailbox -setting but it seems there is no function with this setting as it resets every time back to Bin -foldey
I just want to have a one folder for my deleted mails so that those are easily accessible and that those mails do not disappear magically for good after 30 days. I want to have full control of my deleted messages.

Right, so I created a new Exchange account for my Gmail and everything seems to be working fine. But I noticed that if I delete a message on iOS it will end up in to my Trash/Bin folder which has that 30 days auto-deletion feature. I could not find a way to change the behaviour of deleting messages and what folder should be used like it is possible to do with OSX Mail.
So my issue still excists, I do not want to put my trash in to that Google's Trash/Bin folder where my mail items will be destroyed without my consent. Both Exchange and Google Mail setup seems to force deleted mails to be deleted automaticly or to be cluttered into one big mess.
I would love to stop using that Archive function if I could select which folder I can use for my trash mail, like there is a setting for it. That setting seems to be overridden by Google's server settings. Quite amazing really how that has been designed for user "convenient".

Archive without gmail on iphone

My iPhone 4s has ceased to delete messages, only offering Archive when clicking on the filebox. I have Gmail forwarding to the phone via Google (IMAP if memory serves), but only iCloud and Exchange on the phone. No Google calendar. Exchange is only set for Calendar, not email. Any suggestions? Thanks.

paulcb, you're a genius, it worked, thank you so much, you don't know how much stress you have taken off my shoulders, I am constantly on my email in my iphone everyday. Thanks a million, take care. Robert.
