Z10 Issues with GMail Imap / Microsoft Active Exchange

Hi,
I have seen lots of posts coming in on here and on crackberry.com about issues with emails. But I couldn't find any posts on the issues that I am having.
Just purchased a new Z10, coming from a BB 9900.
I would like to setup my gmail account on here but I am getting unexpected results. I have tried many different ways, gmail, imap, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and pop3.
What I find different from everyone is that I have a bunch of filters set up that auto direct some emails away from the inbox and into labels (folders). So I know things have changed from the 9900, but the way it happened on there was that a new email would show up in my unified inbox on the BB whether or not it was filtered. Then after reading it, I would have to search for it because it wouldn't actually be stored in the inbox. Which I was fine with.
We'll have my email description setup as "Personal"
Issues that I am having:
Imap set up:
- When I go from hub to my "Personal" box, it is a duplicate of my inbox. Looks the same as my inbox in mail.google.com, all nice and dandy.
- Emails that go directly to my inbox show up nice and quick and give me a notification in the hub etc.. that an email has shown up.
- Now when I receive an email that is being filtered. Gmail.com has it right away in my labels. So I know it's there. I can wait the 15/30 minutes that is setup for the sync, but I never get a notification of the email. If I go to the folder (by clicking on the drop down by the email description) then it shows up there with the yellow mail saying that it's a new mail. But there still isn't a notification saying I got a new email.
So that's IMAP.
M$ Exchange ActiveSync set up:
- Initially, going straight to my personal box from the hub makes it look somewhat like what it did on my 9900. Inbox, and filtered messages all showing up in the default view.
- If I receive a NEW (not part of a conversation) message that is/is not being filtered it shows up in this default view and I get a notification in the hub.
- Once I read that email, then go back to the default view. IF it is a msg in the inbox, it disappears and the only way I can find it is by going to the drop down then to the Inbox. But this seems to be random, sometimes it stays, sometimes it disappears. Also, if it gets moved directly to the inbox and I get a reply to that message I don't get a notification for a new email.
- If the email is a filtered email, it stays in the default view.
- Now if I get an email that is part of a conversation to a filtered email, I don't get a notification that I have a new email, but if I go to it from the hub, it's marked as a yellow mail symbol stating that it is new. Read that email, it stays in the default view.
So that's M$ EAS.
Email:
*******@gmail.com, so not a Paid Account or anything, just a regular gmail account. IMAP settings turned on and setup.
Hub Settings:
Display Style: conversation
Display order: name, subject
display message count: on
display new message indicator: on
show filed messages: on
show sent messages: off
Download images automatically: off
delete message confirmation: off.
Oh when I tried the gmail setup I believe it just used the same settings as IMAP. Pop3. just a disaster, all my messages were brought in (sent/receieved) marked as unread. Won't even bother with Pop3.
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong with my setups, or that this is the way it is designed. I really don't want to have to check each folder everytime to see if have a new email. And I don't want to change my gmail setup so that nothing is filtered. I thought I had solved it with the M$ EAS but with the random moving of messages to other directories, it's a no go aswell.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for me it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm the author of the article linked to above. I appreciate the reference, but I don't think my article solves the OP's particular issues. To date, I've not found a way to enable notifications on new content in subfolders. I think this is a limitation in the BlackBerry 10 email client.
Since the paint is still wet on this OS, we can expect to see some improvements in forthcoming service releases. CalDAV for example is known by BlackBerry to be broken with Google Calendar. No ETA to fix at present. BlackBerry will have to address that, and soon.
I don't yet know if OS 10 is going to gain the traction the BlackBerry needs to survive in the market. If it does, I suspect we will see some third party email apps appearing in BlackBerry World in the future, with enhanced IMAP functionality. There's some precedent for this and we've seen similar happen on other mobile platforms. In any case, until BlackBerry does some email client rewrting, or an enterprising developer plugs the gap, I think the OP's niggle is going to remain. At the time of writing, BlackBerry World is showing a White Screen of Death. Figures.
One thing I'd urge all Google Apps users (especially of free accounts) to bear in mind is that Google will be pulling the plug on ActiveSync in the very near future. I've blogged about this in more detail, in a followup to my previously-mentioned post: Gmail + Google Apps on the BlackBerry Z10.
I hope this clarifies the position, even though the reality is less than satisfactory.

Mail 6.2 having issues with Gmail Imap

I have issues with Gmail IMAP online on mail 6. Restarting Mail helps getting new messages but soon become offline and cannot be reset. Read may post and tried what was discussed but yet could not find any firm answer. The problem seems started new after upgrade to osX10.8.3

If your Gmail account cannot be added to the iPhone, it might be locked, try unlocking it.

Mail won't synch with Gmail IMAP

Same problem as so many other loyal Mac users on these forums...
New Macbook Pro 2013 running Mavericks 10.9.1 and Mail 7.1 (1827).
It's been synching fine with Gmail IMAP for months. Then two days ago, was no longer to synch incoming mail. I can still send Gmail fine. just won't receive new mail.
Yes, I checked my settings. They're fine.
I've spent hours on these forums looking up and trying the various home remedies: Repair Permissions, Take All Mail Offline/Online, Uncheck SHow All Mail Imap, nothing works.
Can we just get the %&*%&$ Mail to WORK?
What else can I do?

Mac Mail stopped synching my inbound GMail last evening. Was working fine for several months on 10.9.x. Non-GMail accounts worked okay. Connection Doctor was all green. Restarted Mail and the laptop a few times. Tried Safe Mode, repaired permissions and system disk.
There's a link to Google support at the bottom of the Mail > Preferences > Accounts window so I clicked it, poked around and found this troubleshooting suggestion on the Known Issues page a few minutes ago (link is below):
IMAP client stopped syncing mail from the server
If you are experiencing problems with your IMAP client, try changing the visibility of “All mail” and “Drafts” labels from the (GMail web) settings:
Click the gear icon in the upper-right and select Gmail settings on the top of any Gmail page.
Select the Labels tab.
Ensure that the "Show in IMAP" checkbox is selected for both "All mail" and "Drafts".
Neither of these were checked as I didn't want "All mail" sent down to my Mac. But changing these settings caused unsynced mail to be delivered. Permanent fix? Who knows? Thought I'd mention it though.

Mutt new tags issue with Gmail via IMAP

Hi all,
I've been using Mutt for a while and I very much like it.
However, Gmail's IMAP implementation is a bit weird and causing me some troubles. I'm accessing my Gmail account directly via Mutt (NO offlineimap and NO trash patch). In particular, I'm getting lots of emails marked as new in my All Mail folder that I've already read.
I've realized that if I receive an email, then read it (or remove the new tag), mark it as deleted and then sync-mailbox, when I go to the All Mails mailbox it's still tagged as new.
If I read the message, sync-mailbox (note this additional sync), mark it as deleted and then sync-mailbox once again, then it doesn't appear marked as new on the All Mails mailbox.
Any clues? This is really driving me crazy. I must be doing something really wrong but I can't figure out what. I've already tried setting delete_untag without luck.
Thanks in advance.
For the record, I'm using Mutt 1.5.20 (with IMAP support but no trash patch). Here's my .muttrc:
set realname = "..."
set from = "..."
set imap_user = $from
set imap_pass = "..."
set folder = imaps://imap.gmail.com/
set spoolfile = +INBOX
set postponed = +[Gmail]/Borradores
set smtp_url = smtp://[email protected]:587/
set smtp_pass = $imap_pass
set copy = no
set certificate_file = ~/.mutt/certificates
set header_cache = ~/.mutt/cache/headers
set message_cachedir = ~/.mutt/cache/bodies
set sort = threads
set sort_aux = reverse-last-date-received
set pager_index_lines = 6
set markers = no
set timeout = 120
set delete = yes
set beep_new = yes
bind index y imap-fetch-mail
macro index pr "<change-folder>=INBOX<enter>"
macro index pe "<change-folder>=[Gmail]/Enviados<enter>"
macro index pb "<change-folder>=[Gmail]/Borradores<enter>"
macro index pt "<change-folder>=[Gmail]/Todos<enter>"
macro index ps "<change-folder>=[Gmail]/Spam<enter>"
macro index pp "<change-folder>=[Gmail]/Papelera<enter>"

I have this same issue using gmail with offlineimap -- because of the multiple tags, removing the INBOX tag (deleting from the inbox) doesn't remove the Unread status from the version stored in the All Mail (or archive) folder. I think we'd need a macro that detected the duplicate mail and marked both as read -- not sure if that'd work or not.
I'd also like to figure out how to tell if an incoming message was automatically tagged with another label by my gmail filter (display what other labels are assigned to a message in any view).
Anyone got any ideas?

Help with Gmail IMAP in Mac Mall: Folders transfered from Exchange server

I'm in the process of migrating a mail account from an Exchange server over to Goggle Apps. I've transfered all old mail and the existing Exchange folder structure over to Gmail. Gmail doesn't recognize folders but instead reads the folder structure as Labels. When the account is subsequently imported into Mac Mail it appears that the orgiginal Exhange folder structure holds on the other side, which was my intent. These folders appear in Mail within the Mailboxes>Inbox.
However, there doesn't seem to be a way to insert a new folder into the Gmail IMAP account within the Inbox folder structure. I have successfully created a new "Mailbox" in Mail, but this appears to get inserted into the local version of the Gmail account much lower on the left hand side bar. It seems that I can pick up the "Mailbox" once it is created and move it up into the intended location, but only as a sub-folder. I am not able to promote it to the desired heirarchy or intended location.
Does anyone have any history with this or possibly a fix or suggestion?
Thanks!

My recollection is that unless you are a paid Hotmail account member, you cannot use Mail. Do a search within the discussion group, as I am not an expert, but I recall not getting Hotmail for that very reason.
Perhaps give gmail a try.....
That said....I still need some help with my posting! So please and thank you.

Gmail IMAP on Mac/Exchange on iPhone HELP!

Hi.
Hopefully someone can tell me my best option here. On my iPhone I have my Gmail account set to use the Exchange active sync...however if I try to use the settings I have in my phone for Mail.app the server just times out. Since the iPhone works fine I'm only going to talk about my Mac.
I'm running 10.8.2
When I first set it up using Preferences > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, I made sure that I cleared out any possible old keychain entries as I used to have this account set up as IMAP on my Mac. When I first set it up, it simply said that the server (m.google.com) was unavailable (I had that set as both the internal and external server). In looking at the ports, which were set to 443 and 80, I changed the 80 to 443...that at least got mail checking the server but then it just times out.
The main question is does anyone know how to set up GMail Exchange on Mail? I have a feeling the issue is getting the proper Internal and External server paths.
If you do you might be able to help....the problem is further complicated by the fact that I'm using Gmail to handle mail from my own domain...so its not [email protected] but [email protected]
Why the settings my phone uses aren't sufficient is beyond me...
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

True. And that doesn't help. It only messes things more. I guess Both Google and Apple want things their own respective ways and that's creating trouble for us.
yes, they do and yes, it does.
I don't have an iphone so don't know how things work there but here is how things work with Mail and gmail.
1. you mentioned something about suffix. it should be set to
[Gmail]
2. go to webmail gmail interface->settings->labs
and enable the "Advanced IMAP controls" lab. then go to settings->labels and remove the "ll Mail" folder from being offered from IMAP download. there is no reason to have it downloaded as all it will do is download everything the second time and eat up your hard drive space. you can also optionally do it with the Spam mailbox.
3. an important thing to understand is that gmail and mail create their own folders for several things and insist on using them by default.
Gmail default folders: Mail default Folders:
Sent Mail Sent Messages
Trash Deleted Messages
there is no way to force webmail gmail to use nondefault folders. but you can do it with Mail. i suggest you do that to keep things synchronized between webmail and Mail
select the "Sent Mail" folder in the IMAP section of gmail. then go to mailbox menu->use this mailbox for->sent
do the same with the "Trash" mailbox in the gmail section and set to use it for Trash.
after this you can delete Sent messages and Deleted messages mailboxes from the gmail IMAP section unless you want to keep looking at them for some reason.
The drafts mailbox is called the same both in Mail and gmail so you don't have to rename it but I suggest you choose the option not to keep drafts on the server. but that's up to you. same for the junk mailbox. I have the option NOT to keep junk mail on the server.
I had to do this one every mac I use to access gmail via Mail but it's all pretty sane and in sync now.

Mail rebuild mailbox issue with Gmail

I set up Mail 4.6 to receive and send e-mails to and from Gmail as per the instructions on the Gmail site and used additional information on this forum.
What is happening is whenever I rebuild the gmail folder it downloads again all the files I have deleated. I rebuild after deleting a lot of Spam and e-mails I no longer need.
As recommended the account is set as a imap account.
Under the mailbox tab it is set:
DRAFTS: Store draft messages on server - box not checked
SENT: Store sent messages on server - box not checked
           Delete message: dropdown set to: One day old
JUNK: Store Junk messages on server - box not checked
          Delete message: dropdown set to: One day old
TRASH: Move deleted message to the Trash mailbox - box is checked
             Store deleted messages on the server: - box not checked
             Permanently erase Delete message when: dropdown set to: One day old
Under the Advance tab it is set:
Enable this account - box is checked
Include when automatically checking for new messages - box is checked
Compact mailboxes Automatically - is greyed out - box is checked
Keep copies of messages for offline viewing: dropdown set to: All messages and their attachments
I am not sure is this last item of 'Keep copies of messages for offline viewing' refers to the the Gmail server or the mail box - if it is the gmail server then I guess Mail is just syncronising with this; thus any mails I delete will be down loaded again. ((All the other mail servers I use I set under Advance tab to 'Remove copy from server after retrieving message' - but this option is not shown for gmail.
Two things are happening:
a) When I delete files in the Mail, Gmail folder the next time I rebuild the mail box I get 1000 + emails down loaded; even though I may only have deleted 30 or so.
b) At other time mail will show downloading e-mails in the blue download indicator, but no new emails appear.
Would welcome some direction on how to resolve these issues; thank you.

The issue with g-mail became cronic. Now I can't delete e-mails received to my gmail account.
When I try to delete emails in the gMail or Mail inbox the following message is show.
The Message could not be removed to the mailbox (null)
The destination mailbox "(null)" does not allow messages to be moved to it.
This started after following the recomendation I found in the forum to sync gmail folders to the Mail - folders.
I am looking for solution to get back to the original condition that while not what it should be it is better than now.
Was hoping for solution were I wouldn't have to delete gmail account from mail then start again.
Any ideas welcome as I would like to delete emails in the gmail folders in Gmail without logging into Gmail every time.
Thank you

Constant security issues with gmail in firefox and no words on buttons.

I have firefox 10.0.02. I did a clean install on my system and installed bitdefender immediately afterward. I have been having constant security errors since then with regards to SSL certificates. I will get the error messages for invalid security certificates constantly, but only with a few sites (mozilla add-ons and gmail/google images sites specifically). Additionally, some of these sites will only load in plain text without styles as opposed to html. Finally, often gmail, or google images will have issues with loading certain artifacts, such as the test on the forward reply and other buttons in gmail, and the images in google images will often not load with only grey rectangles instead. Bitdefender's root certificate will also not install, despite constantly prompting to close firefox and install, which I occasionally let it do, with no result.
I've tolerated this problem for several months now, but now that I am working on a business and a website constantly with multiple email accounts, it is getting completely frustrating.

You need to take that up with Bitdefender support or uninstall that program if you can't make it to work properly.

A different sort of problem with GMail IMAP on Mail.app (Tiger)

I setup my GMail account using IMAP under Mail.app (Tiger). At first it worked fine. But now it just hangs when I go to the Inbox. I get the clock or pie or whatever that is next to Inbox. In the Activity Monitor I see...
[[email protected]] Performing pended
Copying Message
[INBOX - [email protected]] Opening mailbox...
Opening mailbox...
I have let these sit for hours (we're talking over 12) and it gets nowhere. I have removed the account, deleted the associated files under ~/Library, recreated and it just comes back. I can use Thunderbird without any problems at all.
Any ideas what might have happened? I did uncheck saving drafts, trash, and junk on server as Google suggests.

Try this to determine the scope of the problem:
1. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts and create a new user account for testing purposes.
2. Either log out of your main user account or just quit Mail so that it does not interfere with the other user account.
3. Log in as the newly created user and set up the Gmail IMAP account there.
4. Check whether the problem also happens when logged in as another user.
<hr>
Do you have any Mail plug-ins or system utilities that could interfere with Mail? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/StartupItems/
/Library/LaunchDaemons/
/Library/LaunchAgents/
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/LaunchAgents/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
To make accurately reporting this information easier, you may open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/StartupItems /Library/LaunchDaemons /Library/LaunchAgents /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/LaunchAgents ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

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

Mavericks Mail update (build 1822): constant folder syncing with Gmail IMAP

The Mail update to build 1822 seems to fix previous major problems for Gmail IMAP. I've changed my Gmail settings (on the Gmail side) back to my original setup: "All Mail" now is turned off for display in the Mail client. That allows me to search messages and see search results in Mail that show the folder in which search result messages reside...instead of "All Mail" for every message matching the search criteria, as it showed when "All Mail" was turned on.
Two remaining problems for me.
1 -- Regularly and frequently, Mail goes out to the Gmail IMAP server and checks every single mail folder and syncs with them. It doesn't matter that the folders haven't been changed or that I haven't sent, received, or viewed any mail...if Mail is open, it checks and syncs frequently. Now, very few folders have new filed messages, so bandwidth use of this behavior presumable is low...but it sure is annoying. You can see it happening by choosing "Activity" under the Window menu, and watching for a while.
2 -- I can't change the display order of Gmail folders in the left-hand column of the Mail app display. The order is fixed and it doesn't seem to follow any rule I can detect. The folder display certainly isn't alphabetical or by date.
Suggestions or insight about these two challenges are welcome.
Thanks!

I've got no solution on problem one (sorry for both of us), but might for problem two.
I have four IMAP accounts in mail: 2 gmail, one google hosted app, and one Corporate. Mavericks mail (with update) constantly checks all IMAP accounts, whether gmail or not.
This contant IMAP freak out may be related to the solution I have for you on Gmail folder sorting. I've tried diabling the account (in preferences), quitting mail, then restarting mail, and then re-enabling the account. Let mail finish its IMAP freak out, then drag the folders where you want them. They may or may not appear to change succesfuly. Wait a while (so Mail does the IMAP dance again), quit Mail, restart Mail. If it looks good great, if not, do the whole disable / re-enable account thing. Sounds mental, and pretty much is, but it worked for me. I cobbled this together from hints on previous Mail version / IMAP problems.
My pet theory--which is entirely unsubstantied by any evidence whatsoever--is that Mail's local cache is not being updated properly while in use, and the flood of IMAP traffic is leaving the folder structure changes in limbo until you force changes with the quit / preference change. Whatever the cause, it seems to affect non Gmail as well (for at least me).

Issue with Reset Password from Active Directory Integration Pack

I seem to be having some issues with a subscription in the Reset Password activity from the Active Directory Integration Pack. The "User Password" field refuses to take a value from a subscription provided earlier in a Generate Random
Text activity. As you will see in the screenshot below, when the Reset Password activity runs, the User Password value is blank.
Any idea why this might be happening? It looks like a possible bug with the Active Directory Integration Pack.

Hi John,
I think this is not a bug, this should be by design because the password is a secure string. If you look for the Published data for Reset User Password activity at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh553463.aspx it is not listed there as well.
If you need the the string (e.g. to send it via email) use the
data from the "Generate Random Text" Activity.

Proformance issue with 'sid generation on activation'

Hi Gurus,
In our BW(NW 2004) system we are using Cognos as reporting tool, due to process chain failure at DSO level we unchecked 'sid generation on activation' and chain running successfully after that.
unchecking will be a performance issue due to generating sid's at run time as per SAP.
My question is as i am using Cognos in place of BEX. what are the possiblities of effecting the performance and alll?
Please provide your valuable suggestions.
Thanks in Advance,
Suresh.

Hi Suresh,
Irrespective of what is the reporting front end you use, if you use this DSO for reporting it would generate the SID values at the runtime which will have huge impact on reporting performance. Just removing the SID generation option would temporarily fix the load issue, with quick activation of DSO but it will affect the most important area reporting performance.
Try to solve the issue with SID generation error while activating at the BW side which could be because of the special character issues and once you fix that your process chains would load fine with a far better performance while reporting on this DSO.
Regards,
Mani

Mail unexpectedly quits immediately with gmail imap

I added my gmail account as imap to mail and now mail immediately quits when I open it... Now I can't get to my company mail because of this. I'd glady remove the gmail account since it appears to be the problem but can't because the app quits so stinking fast.
anyone?

After a lot of head-scratching, and experimentation, it turns out that the problem was with GrowlMail. Even though I had swithced Growl off, and disable the GrowlMail plugin, it still appeared to be loading, according to system.log.
I had to uninstall Growl, and manually delete /Library/Mail/Bundles/GrowlMail.bundle. That FINALLY did the trick, and Mail appears to be working OK now.
Once I've successfully sync'd with GMail, I'll try reinstalling Growl, and see what happens.
