[Q] Gmail not updating by itself. - Kindle Fire Themes and Apps

I have the latest version of gmail, but I have to hit refresh to get my latest mail to show, and if I delete a mail it is not actually deleted from server. Any ideas?
Note: this may be in the wrong forum, please move if appropriate. Thanks.

Check in settings>accounts>google and see if gmail is set to sync. Sometimes that doesn't get set to sync on new installs.

Yes thanks. Everything else was set to sync except gmail.

Temporary Exchange Work Around for 2.0 Eclair Gmail syncing issues

-After setting up your phone Open the email app (not gmail) Select exchange account.
-For Domain/Username put in "/[email protected]"(or "/[email protected]" or google apps users) without quotes. The password should be filled in from the previous field. The Exchange server is "m.google.com" without quotes. Check both boxes below for ssl and encryption and hit next.
-Select the checking frequency(push will notify you as soon as a new email is delivered) and amount to synchronize (up to a month). then select next.
-Put in an account name and display name, then hit done. If you have corporate calendar installed, then your calendar will synchronize and so will your contacts and email.
Now go to your account sync settings and turn off all syncs for your gmail account, but make sure sync and exchange are turned on so that it updates when new emails or contacts come in.
This is a great temporary fix until on of the devs finally figues out how to get the real gmail sync working
-Thanks to ebg10 via eugene373 for the great idea

I have gotten google sync working in this rom and all other 2.0 roms through exchange. It syncs mail, contacts, and calendar without the need for google apps. To get this working make a new exchange account and put in your gmail email address and password and then select manual setup. Select exchange account. For Domain/Username put in "/[email protected]" without quotes. The password should be filled in from the previous field. The Exchange server is "m.google.com" without quotes. Check both boxes below and hit next. Select the checking frequency(or push) and amount to synchronize. Select which options you want below, then select next. Put in an account name and display name, then hit done. If you have corporate calendar installed, then your calendar will synchronize and so will your contacts and email. Now you have push gmail, contacts, and calendar. Because exchange will only synchronize a month of emails, I also setup my gmail as an IMAP account so I still have access to my old emails. The android email app is not as good as the gmail app IMHO, but it is a temporary solution, and new emails seem to show up faster this way!

I didn't do it, the Above Member had figured it out. Credit goes to him. & All sync to Gapps need turned Off. as Exchange uses it's own sync & it's not apart go gapps at all.
settings>accounts & Sync> Turn off Auto-sync feature.
Slight problem I'm encountering. It doesn't work for me at all. Using a G1 with AOSP17.
And btw, is it meant to be a '/' or a '\'?

/[email protected]
did you check both the check boxes?
Then your setting up your exchange account wrong if it's not working

thats probably not a very constructive reply.
Meh, it just won't work for me properly. I finally made it work but it slows everything down for some reason.
Back to using Auto-Sync turn-on-and-off
I tried this but it keeps telling me authentication failed. All details are correct, checked three times. Any ideas?
I have a problem with exchange... after I set it up, my emails don't come in to the mail app. I have tried sending a new email and it doesn't show up in the mail app. I have also allowed it to sync and it still does not work. No emails show up in the mail app. Is anyone else having this problem?
OK that's strange but after giving me authentication errors earlier it has now synchronised my calendar. Funky..
Google Sync over exchange officially only works in the U.S. That might be causing some of the problems.

questions about syncing

when you sync your facebook what does it exactly do.
Does it just copy all your facebook contacts and put them in your phone contacts?
I know email sync does that because I did it and that and my gmail is unorganized so it made a mess on my phone contacts.
also does email sync delete your emails on your computer as well?
Because right now when I delete an email on the phone it is still on gmail.com
anything else I need to know? I have facebook and email sync OFF.
What OS?

android 2.2.2

When you first run the Facebook app it gives you the option to sync all, sync existing or don't sync. You can change this when you want by opening Facebook and going to settings, sync contacts.
Incidentally, you can also filter your contacts to only show if they have a phone number. This may help if things have got a bit messed up.

so syncing is just copying contacts, nothing else?
It doesn't delete my emails or do anything else?
Facebook only syncs contacts - nothing else.
thanks syncing seems totally useless then.

Stock Email App: Offline IMAP email Issue?

I have the GT-2010 (wifi only) so sometimes I want to create emails, read them, and delete when I happen to be offline. Account I have issue with is a non-gmail account.
I've noticed that the stock email app which does look great actually doesn't seem to work for me in offline mode. I'm using IMAP, and it downloads all emails fine and I can read, delete etc offline, but then when I connect up again all the reads / deletes / moves haven't been registered.
I checked the settings and there doesn't seem to be anything obvious. I've also tried K-9 which doesn't look as good on tablet, but does seem to sync back ok when re-connecting.
Anyone else found this issue with stock app?

Hotmail/Outlook Problems?

Is anyone else having problems with inbox? Since yesterday I changed to outlook.com and reseted my phone, but i'm not receiving anything from the Inbox folder. Any other folder is ok. If I set a rule to move all new mails to another folder, I receive it normally in my WP (still, even after receiving the email, I got no notification in lockscreen. Just tile).
Anyone else?
Im in same boat.

Assuming you have Twitter account added to your WP, try this:
1. Delete Twitter from Email + Accounts list
2. Reboot phone
3. Sync mail
You should see your mail again. I was also able to add Twitter back to my list without losing the sync.
Calendars
I haven't changed my Hotmail/Windows Live email address to the Outlook.com but I did change to the new 'Outlook' style before switching back to the classic style.
I don't know if it's connected but my Windows Phone is only displaying my Facebook calendar. The default Hotmail calendar is in the settings but is not displaying. And my other calendars aren't even in the settings.
How do I get back all my calendars :-S ?
EDIT: Editing the linked Twitter account seemed to fix the problem.
I don't know if re-adding the Twitter a/c will cause the problem to reoccur.

I've also seen this work for other users if they remove their LinkinIn account, re-sync, and re-add the LinkedIn account. This has also been reported as a viable workaround for @msn and @live mail accounts as well.
Does anyone know if migrating from hotmail to outlook will enable flag email function in windows phone? afaik hotmail doesn't have flag option in windows phone but outlook does.

[Q] gmail sync doesn't delete

since ICS update, my gmail doesn't sync what is deleted.
If I delete from Mac Mail it is deleted form the web, but not the phone.
If I delete from the web it isn'r deleted from the phone either, but it is from Mac Mail.
It is syncing incoming mail, everywhere
Ideas?
Try to reinstall it

no change
here's the fix.
Menu/Manage Apps/Calendar Pad & Calendar Storage & gMail/Clear data for all 3.
Accts & Sync/Google/uncheck all/recheck and sync now
That fixes Calendar from there out.
gMail is still weird.
If I delete from the phone, it deletes from MacMail and Goog webmail immediately.
If I delete from google webmail, it deletes from MacMail and phone immediately.
But if I delete from MacMail, it stays in both webmail and the phone.
I guess the MacMail integration isn't quite.......
