Ok I have a 8525 with the schaps 3.60a rom. I don't think the rom really matters as this problem has been going on since day 1 and i've been through 2 stock at&t roms and 2 3.60a cooked roms all with the same issue. I have the gmails pop settings enabled and I have no issues at all receiving email from gmail on my device.
The problem is that they don't stay in the inbox for more than a day. It seemed they stay in there for awhile when the email is initially setup but after a few days it goes back to clearing the inbox on its own. Gmail settings are set to receive all mail starting on 8/2/07. I innitially thought I might be causing a conflict with having the same email account setup in outlook07. So i've created another email account and I have that account setup in outlook and in the gmail settings I have it set to forward my main gmail account to that one. This way when I receive email on my home pc it doesnt use the same pop account as my 8525. This doesnt solve the problem though.
Anyone know of a solution or has encounted this problem? It seems others should be having this problem as I don't believe it is specific to my device and gmail being a pretty popular email service would lead me to believe I'm not the only one. Any help is appreciated.
Edit: NM I found the solution.
what's the solution...?
if you do a search for gmail on the main hermes forum. There is a thread called "missing gmail emails" or somethin. Basically when you set the username on the hermes for gmail you need to add "recent:" without the quotes to the beginning of your username. this is automatically added when you detect gmail settings and I changed it to my normal username as I didn't think it would work with "recent:[email protected]". But I was wrong apparently you need to leave the setting alone and this resolves the sync issues with gmail and hermes.

does this apply to all pop mail or just gmail?
Can someone please give me some simple instructions on how to set up googlemail push. I have googlemail set up and email frequency box is set at 5 minutes, it gives no option for push. I have not found the option to sync contacts etc. Maybe I am having another senior moment!! Thank you.
Check out the beta section on google sync website -That should give you the info you need. I have not got it to work yet though.

if you create an new email account, don't select the gmail option. You need to create an active sync (exchange) connection... then you have push mail. instructions are indeed on the google sync beta page....
Many thanks, I will head over there now
in activesync app, type your gmail email and password, server is m.google.com ., go thru options for cal, contacts, and email, frequency, and peak times.

Now got the phone to push, new problem is that the notification sound does not work with it at present, could this have anything to do with still having the ordinary googlemail on the phone?? Do I need to remove it????
Getting in a mess here I deleted the original googlemail, now I have none.

dont think so. I prefer using activesync for google contacts and calendar, and setting up gmail but without push in the email inbox. You should get email noises, no matter if both are there. Go to home screen, settings tab, menu, all settings, sounds and notifications, tab sounds, scroll to new email and check options are ticked as needed.
I can't get the push to work despite having hard reset the phone a couple of times. ( now got to get my music and photo's back on)
Contacts not so bad as they will sync with myphone.
I think I am going to have to go back to normal google syncing every 5 minutes. unless someone has another solution.
Thanks for your help
it may be your network not allowing it. make sure proxy is off in connections (settings, all settings, connections, connections, manage , edit, proxy)

Can you maybe post a small howto on the setup (srver and client site)?
I think that this would help a lot of users who would like to have this!
If I use GMail, but use my own domain instead of @gmail.com, can I still do Push Email?

Your provider will need to support this.
It's NOT a normal thing they do.
Only "free" push providers that I know of are Gmail and Hotmail (live)

Sure!
This is what worked for me after lots of attempts.
I deleted the original IMAP googlemail account
Iwent to activesync
Put in my googlemail address ie [email protected]
Password xxxxxxx ignore tha fact that it then adds extra digits.
Save password
leave domain name blank
username will come up as santa, this needs changing to [email protected]
edit server will come up and this is m.google.com
Choose the data you want to sync
Choose schedule as items arrive
The forst sync I had to press send and receive thereafter it worked.
What was confusing me before was the fact that I had the phone charging in the computer as I set up, it would not sync until I unplugged it. After unplugging it only pushed new mail not the mail already on the server.
I hope this makes some sense I am very new to this.
Ok.. Looks easy. Did you set anything in your gmail account on the server?
Also. I'm not sure if thats your true e-mail address, but if so, and if you do not like spam, you better remove it from your post!
Lot's of spam bots WILL get your e-mail address, and use it for sending spam to you!
Ok I managed to get it working after a bit, but syncing still seems slow. Also when I send a message from the phone it shows up in my mail client inbox anyway to stop this happening.

No not my real email address it is of course santa's and he does not mind mail!
Did not set anything on server.
did anybody try to send a mail with some attachment to your gmail push account? When i get the mail on my device, i can see the attachment, however, i cannot open it or save it. When i click on the attachment it says downloading... but still cannot open or save it? does it work for you guys?
So I set up my Gmail account and everything was working fine, then after I rebooted my mail wont show up! I though the account might have been deleted somehow but no its still there, it wont show my mail though, when I press inbox It only has 2 options, SMS/MMS and Setup Email, no option for my Gmail. Also when I go to account setting, my Gmail is there, not sure what the problem is. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Did you set it up using ActiveSync or creating a new inbox?

Did you install SWYPE?
I had the same problem with it cos it seems in that leaked version passwords and general entries arent saved regulary. It just saves entries by time.
Use the normal keyboard and your accounts wont disapper in the tab.
The account is still there.
just go to email tab and click ->menu->account settings
Then you will see the accounts and when you click on it you will see that the important settings are missing (like imap and smtp server settings)
You can now enter the settings again and the account and inbox will be accessable again from your email tab.
My hint:
Just uninstall SWYPE and use the regular keyboard.
The problem starts today 13 June, my Gmail just won't push, I already tried to "Clear data" on Gmail storage and Gmail application from the "Manage applications" option. But I can't sign in and get an error message "Cannot establish connection bla bla bla".
I even tried to reflash my ROM three times already, did the factory reset. no use. Finally I restored the nandroid back up that I have, it's signed in but Gmail still won't push. Internet 2G 3G Wifi all Ok, but Gmail won't push...
Does Gmail server down??
Any suggestions?!
Thanks! =)
Hey, I can sign in and Gmail works fine when I'm connected to VPN...
I do live in China, so I think it's the local server of Gmail... Isn't it?
my gmail pushes fine... would suggest you make sure under settings/accounts that your gmail is set to sync your mail?? might try signing out and signing in again on phone
Oh ok, thanks for your reply, as I expected, the China server of Gmail has a problem and moved the address of host. If anyone of you experiencing the same problem, email me, I'll help you solve it =)

I assume you have IMAP configured correctly?
Sent from Bonsai v 5.0.3
It's not going to.
One method is to use an email client that support IMAP. Then when you sync your email on your computer, the client will make the changes you have made on your phone and vise a versa.
Google search imap gmail for more info. I can't post a link yet.
My phone has has had issues with Gmail as of the last month or so.
Would not delete emails on my Gmail account, but would from within the Gmail application.
Read emails sometimes wouldn't be listed in the Gmail application on my phone.
Opening the Gmail application would automatically bring me to the first unread email rather than the inbox.
A simple phone reboot resolved the issues each time. It all usually happened when I had a phone uptime of 25+ hours.
Stock DI18, not rooted.
Use "m.google.com/sync" as your server, this turns your e-mail into push.

I also don't run into any problems. I use the Gmail app, and when I delete an email out of my inbox on my phone, it instantly happens on the web based email too? I have never configured IMAP, nor any other functions. Just used the stock gmail app that came with the phone.
