Are you moving things to the trash or just archiving them? I am going to try it again.

For me the longest time was 11 minutes (I timed it) and the shortest was 2 minutes.

I'm switching back...

Am I the only one not having an issue with IMAP? So far it's working just like all my other IMAP BIS accts.

Showing up and deleting.

I have tested this from my coworkers emails, my yahoo email acct and from one of my BIS accts. The BIS acct is an IMAP acct for one of the websites I manage and when I sent an email from it to my gmail acct it was almost instant.

mikeruoc · 10-24-2007, 11:06 AM

I think we are talking about different things here. Are changes you make in Gmail replicating to your BB?? Meaning if you delete a message or read a message in Gmail it disappears or shows as read on your Blackberry?

No, I'm saying it takes several minutes for my messages to be delivered to my blackberry.

Testing that right now give me 10 or 20 minutes

mikeruoc · 10-24-2007, 11:11 AM

Ok. Does it reconcile? Do your changes in GMAIL like an archive or delete make an email disappear in your BB??

I have a 7250, so i don't (i think) have automatic reconcile. BUT, if i select reconcile now on my BB, its instant. I only tried with deleting, it was labeled "IMAP/Trash" in my gmail account.

No problems here either.

floz23 · 10-24-2007, 11:17 AM

Are you getting instant delivery of email to your Blackberry from your IMAP gmail account?

I still don't have the option to use IMAP with my Gmail account, but I'm hoping to experiment with it soon....

Some things still aren't clear to me:

1. I have just under 1GB of mail on my Gmail account. If I use IMAP, will it download all of this content for offline use? Where will it store it? If not, will it download the folder/label hierarchy?

2. How does it handle emails that have multiple labels?

3. What happens when you put an email into a folder on your BB? Is it labeled AND archived?

4. One thing I like about the Gmail client software is that you can easily search your archive. That won't be possible with IMAP will it?

5. One thing I hate about the Gmail client software is that you can't assign labels as far as I can tell. How exactly will labels and folders interact via IMAP?

Those are just a few of my questions. If the Gmail client software let me assign labels and archive messages, that would fit my needs. If I can do that through IMAP, and still search my complete archive, I'm happy.

Gave up, back to POP access.
Problems with imap that I observed
1. no instant email notification like before
2. sent mail from the BB did not show up in the inbox of the web app
The old way worked fine. so much for progress.

Hmm... Tried again disabling POP in my Gmail Acct. But it is always re-enabled after deleting/re-adding Gmail acct to BIS.

I checked out Stinsonddog's Blackberry Tips Site (http://home.comcast.net/~tamsterra/OP/GmailYahoo.htm) and the following is stated:

"Also, subscribers using a Gmail® account are no longer required to enable POP (Post Office Protocol) before integrating their Gmail account with their BlackBerry service. And subscribers now experience virtual real-time (instead of poll-based) delivery of Gmail messages."

It really doesn't say that enabling POP in Gmail is not required at all. Just that you can now integrate Gmail with BIS without POP first being enabled in the Gmail acct. This is true. With POP disabled in my Gmail acct, I was able to integrate my Gmail acct with BIS. Maybe because the integration automatically enables POP in the Gmail acct for you?

For me email sent from BB shows up in web app with label "[Imap]/Sent"

Varies between (almost) instant and a minute or so.

Ok, I've testing your question and yes it will delete/show as read when I delete from the web app to the BB, but it took about 20 minutes for that to occur.
