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 have followed directions several times to setup pop email (gmail) on my phone.  I keep getting message that my user name or password for popmail is incorrect.  Any suggestions?  I've checked both & they are correct.

    Did you enable POP Mail for your Gmail account settings via webmail access using a browser on your computer?

  • I'm unable to save preferences for mailbox behaviors for Gmail accounts in Mavericks mail

    when I uncheck the checkboxes beside Drafts, Sent and Junk and save the changes for my Gmail account they end up checked again. Why is this and how can I make it accept the changes?

    I think it's trying to open it in a gMail eMail & is losing your gMail password that it needs log into gMail, but not 100% positive.
    Have you tried Right clicking or Control+click on the eMail link & choose Copy? Works on some, not others.

  • HT201320 Added a gmail account on iPhone IOS 7 software.

    Added a gmail account on iPhone IOS 7 software.  Success but it downloaded over 163,000 emails. How can I restrict it to downloading only the most recent 50?

    Thanks.  It did not happen in IOS 6.1.  I am going to check around.

  • Delete gmail account from iOS mail

    gmail shows up as an inactive account in my ios mail settings.  however, gmail still  loads into my inbox.  I want to eliminate gmail completely and only get icloud mail.  I can't find a way to do it.

    Since you are in the Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks) forum but are asking about iOS (iPhone, iPad, etc), I'm not sure how to answer.  So, here is how to do it in either:
    In Mavericks (i.e. on a Mac):
    Open "System Preferences" > "Internet Accounts"
    Select your Google account in the left sidebar
    Click the "-" icon at the bottom left to delete the account
    In iOS (i.e. on an iPhone):
    Touch "Settings"
    Touch "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"
    Touch your Gmail Account
    At the bottom of the screen, touch "Delete Account"
    That's it.  If you delete accounts per the above instructions then there is simply no way for your Gmail to continue to come in to Apple Mail on Mavericks or iOS.  The only way that could happen is if you have set up your Gmail account to forward mail to your iCloud account.
    I hope this helps.

  • I'm unable to connect my Gmail accounts to Apple Mail.

    All - I've been working on this for hours.
    All I want to do is connect my gmail accounts to Apple Mail.  I'm running a new Macbook Air w Mountain Lion, Apple Mail 6.5.  I can access the accounts on my ipad and iphone.  I've spent hours reading forums and help areas.
    Mail repeatedly asks for my password.  In the account settings it does not save my password. 
    I've gotten the message that Mail cannot connect to Google imap server, but I do not believe this is a "timing" issue
    Here's what I've tried:
    Apple Side:
    -  Tried adding and deleting accounts several times within mail application
    -  tried using System Preferences > Mail/Contacts etc.
    -  Changed imap.gmail.com to imap.google.com
    -  changed to custom dedicated port for outgoing mail (587)
    -  closed and relaunched Mail
    -  Rebooted and safe rebooted computer
    -  set up and deleted accounts
    -  turned off gmail on phone and ipad
    Google Side:
    -  Enabled IMAP
    -  Not using 2 step verification
    -  Checked Captcha

    If you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate an application-specific password in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password.

  • Hello, I can no longer access my gmail account through the mail icon.  When I use the icon gmail tells me my password is invalid, however when I log in through Safari I have no problems.  Any suggestions?

    Hello,
    I had no problem accessing my Gmail account through the mail icon until two weeks ago.  I can still access my Gmail account through Safari, but when I attempt to access my Gmail through the mail icon, Gmail tells me that my password is invalid.  Any Suggestions?  Any help would be greatly aprecieated.
    Thanks,
    Frank

    I see you are using LastPass. Could that add-on be interfering with your login?? You could try disabling it temporarily under Tools > Add-ons to test that theory.

  • I have 2 gmail accounts on the mail app but only 1 is working

    I have 2 gmail accounts on the mail app but only 1 of them are working. the default account isn't working and emails are coming from the other account.
    They are both working on the iPad. How do I get the non working account back on my iPhone?

    I get a message saying the server imap.gmail.com is not responding. Verify the correct account info in mail settings. ...it looks fine to me, how do I know what I need to fix?

  • Pop gmail account using Mac Mail has stopped receiving email.

    I have two pop gmail accounts using Mac Mail.  One has stopped receiving email while one is fine.  Both are set up exactly the same.  Any idea how to fix this issue?

    I saw on Yahoo's site the following:
    http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-40.html
    Does that address your problem?
    I see you're using the UK version and that there's no similar page on the Yahoo UK site but perhaps it helps anyway. Have a look here as well: http://help.yahoo.com/l/uk/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/pop/pop-30.html

  • My iphone has started reporting incorrect username or password for my gmail account

    I have re-entered both and checked that they match the ones which I use succesfully in Apple Mail on my Mac. I have also deleted and re-added the account with no effect. I notice that in Apple Mail the gmail account is set to use POP for incoming gmail whereas on the iPhone it appears to be set for IMAP, as the error message when I re-enter details refers to imap.gmail.com.
    I can still send email from the gmail account on the iPhone and incoming gmail still works on the Mac.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the suggestion. Thankfully it has not been necessary to make use of it as the problem solved itself.
    Some research on another thread suggested a similar problem in August 2012. Some suggested that it was a fault at Google and that it cleared up of its own accord (without Google ever admitting it had happened). This appears to have been the case again on this occasion. I went to bed having failed to solve it and woke up to find it working again without so much as a re-boot.
