Gmail IMAP fix

Hey all.
So i know that the relationship between Gmail's IMAP feature and WM6 is known to be very bad. I'm having the same problems. Only message headers appear on some emails, with absolutely no body- at all!
I was just wondering if anyone knows of a fix for this problem. I have used the search feature on this forum as well as Google itself and haven't found much of anything.
I've heard of things such as mobi mail (something like that), but im not really sure how it works. Apparently it fixes the IMAP issues with Gmail, but does it require viewing your email by first opening another program? I really like to just go to the messages center of my phone and select the email and go directly to the email. Also, if i were to use this, would the number of new emails show up on the HTC home plugin that i have install on my Tilt?
I know there are alot of questions here, but this is a very frustrating issue, that i'm sure a lot of people have. Thanks so much for all your help! I want to be able to use my Tilt to its best potential!!!

As far as i know there's still no fix for it. I don't understand why google hasn't already fixed this problem.

Android?

I know this isn't really a solution to this exact issue, but I have found the latest Beta of FlexMail 4.0 to have EXCELLENT Gmail IMAP support. You might want to give it a try. The latest Beta has also been much more stable on my device than previous versions of the software were.

I have no problem accessing gMail on my Tilt. whats your issue exactly? Do you have the settings properly configured? -- i;m leaning towards no.

I just use opera mini to access my gmail accont directly.

Hmmm, perhaps rather than replying with this rather unhelpful post you could share your settings.
I too experienced the issue mentioned above. About 50% of my email messages were blank. No problem with Flexmail though. Now perhaps in the last few weeks Google has upgraded their server and the problem doesn't exist, but at the time I reviewed their forums there were SEVERAL others with the same problem and Google's response was that IMAP for WM was not yet officially supported.

Are you using IMAP or POP3, because there a only problems with IMAP. So be sure that you are using IMAP and give then an overview of the configurations you did. If you've got the solution, my gratitude will be great. Thx

ok, using pop3 is just a pain. It doesn't sync with your computer, so you have to read messages twice.... blah blah. That doesnt even seem like it should be an option. Gmail just needs to get their crap together and get IMAP working. there are many other email providers that have excellent support. I have thought about switching, but (other than the IMAP problem) i love gmail!
But, no one has addressed my questions about these other programs. Flexmail and mobimail included. I'm not too sure what these applications are. Could some one explain what they do/ how they work?
Also, will the email notification on the HTC home plugin still function if i do decide to use one of these third party programs?

Google's official statement about IMAP on WM6 (in their gmail help section):
Please note that emails downloaded in HTML format may not be displayed in your Windows Mobile client. We're currently aware of this issue and working on a fix.

well you wouldn't think that it would take MONTHS to fix this problem. especially considering that other ISP's have their IMAP working flawlessly, not to mention the time and effort that gmail has put into iPhone compatibility. How many more Windows Mobile based phones are out there than iPhones????? Yeah.

[Q] Outlook & Custom ROMS

It seems the custom rom I installed doesn't like the LG PC Suite :/ How do you sync the phone now to Outlook 2010?

You don't
You sync it to google.
After that you can sync google calendar to Outlook.
And mail etc..
same is possible with hotmail I think but I don't use that
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App

Eniux is right.. sync it with Google, and then export for what you want...

I see .. and if you don't want all your data online? You're stuck?

Why not simply search on market?
Found this in 27 sec...
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.innov8tion.isharesync

if it is just the syncing of Contacts, Calendar, Organizer, Reminders, Messages....try the MyPhone Explorer....I use it for the syncing with this..through wifi, Bluetooth or USB....works perfect...
NOTE: it does not work for the mails

You can check almost any mail account within gmail: http://www.brighthub.com/internet/google/articles/5655.aspx
Best option, no need to mess with outlook

Looks free.
But only works using wifi, probably not with cable.

Thanks for all the help I went with the myphonexplorer route now ... fantastic little thing, with WLAN syncing and all, very nice! I really don0t understand all this outlook fuss ... synchronize a file with some structure into another file with some structure ... sounds like something a 10 year old learns in a basic class. But there's a million problems with it.... sigh.

I found that if you clear the certificate check box and remove the port number outlook will sync properly using the email app that came with the rom this is for exchange though. Not sure if it will work with the others.

[Help] Memory Full when try Import Contacts!

Hey Guys,
probably is something stupid but I really don't know where looking for and how fix it.
I have my vCard file from HTC HD2 with Android 4.0.4 and I want to import the contacts to my Xperia Z1 and when I click the button Import I got the message: Memory Full. Could not import contacts!
I got more than 1gb free on my phone.
Someone can explain what happening?

Nobody have this problem? WTF? How I do now?

Not sure why you are doing this, why don't you sync you contacts from the HTC to your google account, then they will automatically sync to your Sony phone if you are using the same google account

I never did that and now I can't because my HTC is broken, but I did a backup of my contacts so I don't understand why I can't backup the contacts to my Z1. This is a problem on my phone anyway, why?

I have never been able to import a vcard sucessfully, have you tried searching the net, there are some youtube vids and some discussions on xda?
The easiest way is probably going to be to import the contacts to your computer, then use PC companion to sync them to the phone. Can I suggest in future that you store the contacts in the google account for your phone, that way whatever android phone you get in the future the contacts will be synced automatically after you attach the account.

Of course, one of them is this one: http://www.sonymobile.com/us/suppor...ntacts/backup-import-and-send-contacts-ps101/
Very easy, I click on Phone, Contacts, Menu at the right bottom, I click on Import Contact, I got: Memory Full.
On Sony Web site they saying to select Back up Contacts from vCard, where it is on Z1?

I can't to my computer because my HTC don't working. Also I was never worry to store my contacts in google account because we have the option to backup contacts in Android, the problem is that option is not working, why?
Now I am forced to store the contacts in other ways but how I will back up more than 200 numbers from my vCard Today?
Someone know how extract the contacts from vCard? That will be enough.

I really don't know why we are discussin this, surely you all back your contacts up to your gmail account....

You right, I don't know how but I was just trying to synchronize my gmail account right now and all the contacts appear on my phone. :victory:
I was 100% sure I never did that with my HTC and I remember when I back up to vCard.
Also I logged into my gmail account month ago and nothing happened so I was completely convinced.
Btw, Import Contact don't working but problem solved.
Thread Closed.
Thanks Guys.

Never solved the problem. Like never solved the problem installing (massage:no sufficient memory on phone) updates even if I have space on my internal memory.
I always used vCard because I never liked to store my contacts on a server, kind of paranoia privacy!
..but I give up so now I do not do anything than just log into my google account (play store) and they show up.
I think you have to do the same, log into your account and import contacts.

hmm...better than nothing...some conflicts solved doing so..good..:good:

I'm sorry for digging out so old thread, but I have the same problem on my good, old Xperia Z. I have free space on internal memory, I recieved the e-mail with some vCard attached and I can save or even open it. All I get is this message "memory full could not import contacts".
Do anybody knows how to solve this problem?
Thank you.

[Q] Email failure after disabling magazine

Month old note 3.
Disabled magazine and now get email message "unfortunately, email has stopped" I see from threads elsewhere that this is the issue.
I DO NOT WANT magazine. Is there someway to eliminate all the junk on this phone without killing the apps that work. I thought my Atrix was bad but it isn't nearly as crammed as this phone. I have 26 apps turned off, and some more that wont give me the option. I use this device for work, not play, and only want the apps I need.
Samsung please fix!!! Give us an option to unload all the crap with the next update. You are killing a really nice phone.
Anyone have a work around??????
THX

What email service are you trying to use? If it's hotmail or yahoo, use the Outlook, or yahoomail app instead of stock email app. Gmail works fine with magazine crap removed.

Thanks I switched to the gmail and yahoo apps and for those accounts. Need to find a suitable outlook replacement. The corporate sync that came with phone still crashes and burns.
Thanks and Peace!

I have that also... I froze Magazine with TiBU. When I get the email crash, it will often open the 2nd or 3rd time.

Mine also opens on the 2nd or 3rd try but it is too much of pain. I haven't had time to try another outlook app yet (don't know which is a good one).I hope they fix it soon, my wife needs a new phone for work too, and if this isn't resolved we wont get a Samsung.

No haven't tried anything for outlook yet. The only mail account I have to move is the one on a corporate exchange server. Need to make sure what ever I substitute is secure (as well as can be expected that is). Nothing cloud based.

can I save contacts and images on the phone only without sharing them with google?

Hi all,
I am really tempted by the Nokia 8 and I'd like to get some more details.
Personally I prefer not to share with google my contacts, images, etc and I am not sure that with Nokia 8 it is possible since, If I understood right, it's a stock android.
So my questions are:
Is it possible to save my contacts, images and so on only on my phone without sync them with the google cloud?
If yes, is there a way to sync the phone with ms outlook and my desktop pc?
Thanks for your help

Yes, you can store contacts and images only on the phone. About Outlook syncing, Googling is your best friend. I would suspect that it's possible.

Good news then!
I googled for the "outlook sync" thing. So far, I did not find a solution but I keep searching.
I also looked for an app to backup contacts and the log of the calls to my pc (something like samsung "smart switch") but I did not find anything. I suspect that there's no such app (?)
