gmail imap working?

Has anyone else noticed their gmail imap email messages populating correctly now?

Are you referring to the HTML/RTF issue with Pocket Outlook preventing message bodies from displaying properly in the Inbox?

It works with the new 3.16 gps rom... woot woot

really that is sweet! i hate how with Gmail and POP i get messages i sent in my inbox on the next send/recieve -- i just set up IMAP and it works great.

Nice! I remember being disappointed that it didn't work when I got the phone because my work doesn't use Exchange yet but at least I figured I could use IMAP on my personal account.
Just set it up and it seems to be working just fine.

Quick question about this: Is there any way to set it to mark things as 'read' once you read them on your mobile device? I'll deal with it if there isn't a way but it kinda sucks to read my messages on my phone and then have to log into gmail to re-mark everything as read.

I just did a test to make sure i was right -- once you read the messages on your phone, the next time you send/receive they will be marked as read in gmail. if yours is not doing this i don't know why. (this is using IMAP not POP)

Ahh... I didn't give it enough time. I have it set to check only every 15 minutes so it didn't get a chance to report back. Thanks.

Hmmm... Worked for me all day but now I am getting SSL and sync errors.

I have had the same problem (imap)....not receiving the body of the email. I believe it is a known issue with gmail and they are working on it. I just turned off the send and receive feature till they fix it. When I need to, I just log into gmail through IE to check my messages.

What ROM are you running. It works with the test ROM. I had some issues with syncing but I soft reset and I was OK. It was mainly giving me issues when I tried to send anything this time.

Gmail IMAP server down

I normally use the Email app instead of the Gmail app to access my Gmail (uses IMAP). However, sometime tonight, I found I can't connect to the server anymore. Any of you checking your Gmail through the Email app and seeing the same thing?
When I try to check my Gmail through the E-mail all/IMAP, I get the following error: "Cannot connect to server. (Expected string, none found.)"

I have the same problem. When I try to download my e-mails thru Mozilla Thunderbird it doesn't seem to work either.. Very annoying..

Trying to check my Gmail through the email app it just said connection error. Deleted the account and now I keep getting Cannot connect to server. (Expected string, none found.)

IMAP Issues
As previously reported and as at 09:50am 25th May (UK Time) the IMAP servers at Google still seem to be down....
However the POP3 servers seems fine . Its a pain but you can (as I have) just reset up the Email client to use POP3.....
L

Still down...
Yes, I too cannot connect via IMAP on my Samsung Galaxy S.

Isit working now? because I don't seem to be having any problems with the Samsung E-mail app as I've been receiving push messages all day.

Nope
No, I'm afraid there's no change.
G.

Well I don't see what the problem is as mine works fine.

Can you explain what you mean by "Samsung Email app"? I am using "Enhanced Mail" a tweaked version of POP/IMAP app that comes with the phone...

it is weird but i am getting the above Error- connection error- expected string not found. on my Asus ee pad transfmr- stock email on 2 gmail accounts but not aol acct-
not getting the error on my phone Samsung Galaxy using K9 or on my pc with outlook.
All 3 are set up as IMAP.

If you mean the stock E-mail app that comes with the SGS2 besides the official gmail app then yes that is what I'am using and as tony also pointed out, my IMAP works just fine.

You guys are spreading false info.
1. If you claim Gmail IMAP global server is down... please, let's see some proof!
EE is the only application as far as I know having any issues. My Evo stock email and K-9 are having no problems with Gmail Imap, nor is my PC running Outlook '10.
So please don't post this, you have the EE dev now believing Gmail has a problem, it's actually some specific apps.

My K9 on my samsung Galaxy works with no probs, but i did just try the stock email on the samsung and only aol is working, not the Gmail accts, Same issue on the EEpad. k9 works with 2 gmail and 1 aol. but on stock EE only aol works, not 2 gmail.
Not sure who you are referring to about false rumors- i assume someone else.
But i am only adding my issue to the thread to help if i could as well as looking for answers. So please take it down a notch.

Actually my EE app also works fine with Gmail. If I wasn't at work and were also bothered to do so, I could take a SS of the last sync time and post it here.
My Gmail works fine on EE, it's just you guys experiencing problems, and the IMAP servers also work fine everywhere else.

Same problem Evo 4G with Cyanogenmod's mail app

QUESTION: Are you running Gmail through the stock email on the EE. As that is where the problems are. I am having this issue out of no where on two diff devices stock email programs with gmail. Doig a quick google search- so are alot of other people on various devices with stock email programs.
just saying....

I'm using the app that came with the stock firmware, not the gmail app. And I've been receiving push messages from it all morning.

Did anyone mention EE on here or did they mention the stock email app?

To everyone saying gmail imap is not down this is OBVIOUSLY going to be location specific since gmail has a different server for almost every part of the world.
Here is proof that it is NOT accessible even from a pc
Code:
$ telnet imap.gmail.com 143
Trying 74.125.159.109...
telnet: connect to address 74.125.159.109: Operation timed out
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

For the dissenters, this isn't an isolated issue. I started a post on Android support forum less than 12 hours ago, and as of this morning, TONS of people are seeing this issue. And for several, they are seeing this issue since last night, which is exactly my situation as I had 0 problems previously:
http://www.google.com/support/forum...ad?fid=14e9ec7ab723b8170004a41bef9538d4&hl=en
My Push Hotmail account and IMAP Yahoo account are working perfectly btw.
Lastly, how are you setting up Push E-mail through the stock E-mail app for Gmail? From what I can tell, the Gmail IMAP setup is Pull only, if you're using a Push method, please do share.

Thanks for that. Clearly, some people in here believe if they have no issues, then everyone else in the world must be doing something wrong.

[Q] Update to 3.1 breaks exchange mail

I had an ota and it upgraded to 3.1. Now my exchange mail gets stuck in the outbox when replying. The only way to make it go is to forward or uncheck show quoted text. Anyone else have this problem?

nope not here

thats wierd because my xoom also has a broken exchange after 3.1 HC update.

don't know what rom you are using, however it works very well with stock 4.10.40 rom including with o/c kernel.
eventually i would suggest that you do a dalvik cache cleanup, and also remove all data from your email application in settings, and setup your exchange account again.
also where do you find the show quoted text parameter, i have no such parameter in the standard ACER email application, which i am using for exchange, and it always worked without any problems.

thanks for the info. Exchange was working fine once the corporate account release updated my acer. It only stopped after 3.1 HC came out. Same thing on the xoom, worked fine pre-3.1, post-3.1 broken. I may try to load up an old rom until this problem is fixed.

it still works fine as i told you with 4.10.42 now.

Wow, I am on 4.10.13. I hope it gets updated soon.

I have the same problem with 4.010.40.
However I realized the following:
1- sending new emails is fine.
2- forwarding emails is also fine.
3- if you reply to emails, the reply gets stuck in the outbox forever, never sent.
I tried the trial version of Moxier, and it works fine with no issue, so it is not a problem with my email server (same settings). Moxier is nice, but I prefer the stock client as it is free, and the most important is that it allows me to reply or forward emails in HTML format.
any help here? or is it a bug in the client that need to be corrected by Acer?
Update: it seems the problem happens when I reply to HTML emails (which is almost all emails), but if the email is plain text, or I opt to not include original email, it is not sent.
This is silly, as the mail thing I liked here is being able to reply with HTML formatting preserved!!!

same thing happening for me. Any news or any other threads tracking this?

From what I have read 3.2 for the XOOM fixed the issue for them.
For us.. I don't think 3.2 is out for a few weeks? (just got mine so I am trying to get caught up on these threads..)
I found this...
http://androidadvices.com/fix-exchange-activesync-problem-on-acer-iconia-a500-after-rooting/
Anyway Not sure if anyone tried this or not.
This is a really PITA I was hoping for a fix but I am not having luck finding one so far.

I just tried setting up touchdown for exchange. Auto setup nor manual work. Used same settings as as on Dell streak 5.
Seems like I would need to down grade to stock for it to work properly.
Are any of you folks rooted or using superuser by chance? Just trying to think outside the upgrade box for possibilities.
If I find a way, I'll share. Best of luck folks.
Cheers.

Exchange Emails - New Touchwiz update

Has anyone had any issues with Exchange emails after the update. The old email client worked with no issues. Once I updated I must refresh manually to get emails. Everything is set to push - same way it was before. I've tried a reset on the tablet. Deleting and recreating the account and still have the issue. Tried with and without SSL and still same thing. Honestly I liked the older version better than this one.

I have had the same problem, actually. I saw that it was also complaining about the security policy, so I deleted and re-added the account. I did this last night, so I don't know if it's fixed the issue. (My tablet isn't with me.)
Joel

I had to delete the account and readd it to now everything seems fine.

I have had no problems with the update, works just fine.

Same issues here. It seems to update when it wants even though its set to push. I have deleted and readded acct which didn't help. Gave up and went back to touchdown which I was using previously.
Sent from my gtab 10.1 with wiz.

Similar problem here - it's constantly refreshing the whole inbox and then displays no e-mails at all.
After about 5 min., e-mails are back - but 5 min. later, all are gone again and the resync process starts.
Tried to delete and re-enter the account a number of times, no change.
Seems, the implementation is choking on my 1800+ inbox subfolders...
Touchdown HD works flawlessly!
Any ideas regarding that?
Best regards,
Klaas.

The Exchange connection is buggy. I've tried it on the Xoom, the original issue Tab and the TouchWiz Tab. Lots of problems.
I didn't want to use Touchdown but since the native email app isn't working that's what I've been doing. Touchdown works good, it's just that the interface isn't nearly as polished as the native email app.

Agreed, I havent used moxier mail personally but it is another alternative as well. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moxier.mail.tablet.trial

There is the issue with the different versions of exchange.
I think my firm is on exchange 2010 and my email syncs fine without an issue

But does your email widget update properly if your tab is not touched for a few hours but connected to wifi?

I tried Moxier and the workflow isn't as good as Touchdown.

Mine is working now. Not sure what did it. I removed the weather and time widgets from my home screen (use beautiful widgets now) and for some strange reason when I went back into the market (it had been set up and used previously) it asked again which gmail account to use. Try going into the sync settings and confirm all entries for Google account or recreate google account and see if it works. Not sure why it would affect Exchange emails but now it is working.

[Q] Email App Not Syncing

I have my work email synced to the Note 3. It's an exchange account. However, it does not sync properly. When I view an unread email on my computer, it is not marked unread on my phone, nor does the notification that came with the email go away. When I open the app, however, it all syncs up just fine and shows everything as read. Am I doing something wrong here? My notification tray just keeps piling up with email that I've already read on my computer. Thanks in advance.

I have the same problems with the stock app. It's 50% chance whether or not it syncs. I didn't have that problem with my Droid Bionic that I replaced.
Since I'm a Zimbra user, I just bought Horizon Mail from the Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vmware.ewsc.android
It's awesome for Zimbra users because you can search back as far into your email as you need to (ie-an email from last year still on your server) Also, you can check a co-workers schedule before sending meeting invites. Lastly, you can access online files in your Zimbra Briefcase.
FYI - we host with zmailcloud.com but Zimbra is open source if needed

I know this is an old thread, but....
I am a T-Mobile customer trying to help a Verizon Wireless customer get his zMailCloud email working. Everyone in the office on T-Mobile has no issues, but the one VW phone only works when on WiFi. I suspect that Verizon is blocking the ports or the IP addresses of zMailCloud.com but I'll try Horizon Mail if you think it would help. I don't see it in my Play Store and that link you provided does not work for me. Is it because only Verizon customers can get it, or is it a defunct project?

I was disappointed that VMware sold Zimbra & discontinued support for Horizon Mail - it's now gone, but was the closest app to my Zimbra browser based experience.
I now use MailWise
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.syntomo.email
I'm very pleased but it has a few bugs every now & then (it is a beta app) and it does not have direct access to my Zimbra Briefcase.
I have not found any problems that appear to be Verizon related - should work over 4G or wifi.
