Auto Gmail IMAP not working?

[dgalanter]

Okay, I'm creating a new thread because I think this isn't about the gmail app, but about gmail the service.

I began in this thread (http://forum.androidcentral.com/droid-incredible/12833-gmail-app-not-refreshing.html) but I've now tested a bit, and I can only get gmail in both the Gmail and HTC Mail clients by doing a manual refresh. If I then delete something I have to do ANOTHER manual refresh to make it disappear in my web inbox.

Can anyone else duplicate this?

Okay, I guess this isn't a problem for anyone else. I'll head to the verizon store I suppose, after work. :-(

Mine isn't working either. It stopped working though after I tried to send a large email (17 pictures and a video), and hasn't worked since. That was on May 15th.

It now just says at the bottom "No connection. Retry". I've been retrying to no avail. I read on some other board that I might have to do a factory reset to get it to work again. I did the "Clear Data" thing in manage applications, didn't work and I can't delete my main email account without resetting it, so.. I might just have to give that a try.

I'm not getting No Connection. I can send fine, and can receive MANUALLY, but gmail won't get email on its own.

And now it's working again... nevermind.

I did the phone storage reset.

My HTC app is working, but not my gmail app.

(Well, the HTC app works, but not fast. I'm really confused.)

Well, after clearing all storage on the account, turning OFF IMAP online, then rebooting and turning it back on, I seem to be working again.

VERY odd.

Well first off you have two apps for mail on your phone by default "HTC Mail" and "Gmail".

HTC does not push to your phone it pulls, so it will only check by default I think once an hour. The GMail app pushes to your phone via gmail every time you get an email.

If your online access is configured for imap it will not work correctly, you need to set it to pop access and forget about it. AFAIK IMAP is not fully supported on the incredible.

 

[dgalanter]

Um... but it IS configured for IMAP and has been working and is working again so... now I'm really confused.

 

[Qazme]

It works in IMAP, but you don't have all the options of IMAP that I'm aware of. I use the simply pop3 with gmail and everything works golden. If it works then don't worry about it, may have either been a either a temporary ID-10T error or could have been gmail throwing a fit.

Then why this?
