IPhone :: POP Or IMAP?
Jan 15, 2010
I've about had it with having email on 2 devices.I use Gmail and I have my laptop and my iPhone. I'd like to receive a copy of the email on BOTH devices every time I receive one and then DELETE the email FROM THE SERVER when I delete a message.
I'm tired of going 2 weeks without touching my iPhone and then the next time I pick it up I have 50 messages, all of which I have read and deleted on my Mac.Why can't anything be as easy as Apple's approach? I'm gritting my teach and on the verge of paying for mobileme.

What do you guys use to get push IMAP on your iPhone (probably via an Exchange service)?Does anyone have any experience with NuevaSync.com?Anyone use anything different?

I just got an iPhone and am trying to set up my Yahoo email account. I've tried multiple times and failed. The error message I'm receiving is "The IMAP server '[url].." is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "Incoming Mail Server Field".
I didn't have to enter any info for the incoming mail server (nor is there an option for it). Also, my phone's WiFi is working so I'm not sure what the problem is.

I am only able to set up my personal emails accounts as IMAP on my iphone. any ideas why? Using IMAP results in my e-mail messages that were first downloaded to my iphone, not to also download to mac mail on my laptop. I need all my messages to come to my laptop...

I have a gmail account and email is currently being synced from my outlook to my iphone, but sent messages from my iphone are not being synced to my outlook. Do I need to enter an IMAP path prefix?

My mail on my iPhone was set up fine as POP, I used my Mac to get mail and only the iPhone if I was away without the Mac, so it only downloaded email not received on the Mac yet. I had to change my password with my provider (Virgin Media) and my mail account on my iPhone wouldn't recognise it even though it was correct so I deleted the account to set it up again. However, it won't give me the option of POP, only IMAP and now it keeps downloading hundreds of old emails. I just want to go back to POP! I've seen sites which show how to set up a mail account and they say "now choose POP or IMAP" but my set up never gives me that choice, it just takes my settings, verifies them and sets it up as IMAP.

I was in gmail and I thought all of the e-mails in the All Mail folder were old/deleted emails. I checked the first hundred and they were all old. So I deleted them and that moved them to the Trash. Then I deleted the Trash. Apparently ALL of my e-mails were in the All Mail folder.. but that's not what it appeared when I looked in the All Mail folder to make sure that wasn't the case.
I use IMAP with my gmail account. They are gone when I log into gmail. They are gone in Thunderbird. But I have not updated my mail on my iPhone...any chance I can recover them from there?

For the past 3 days it has been saying either my IMAP is failing or my outgoing server is failing. I don't know what to do and I need my emails for school. I have a 4s but I just recently updated and it seems like it all started after that. I have internet and my emails work on the computer so it has to be something with my phone itself.

I have a hotmail account and gmail account already on my phone which work fine. I am trying to add a different account using IMAP. The account receives mail but I cannot send any mail from it. The message says the recipient was rejected by the server.

So my gmail address list or contacts seems to have been hacked and all my contacts who are still talking to me have told me so.So I changed my gmail password.No more complaints, and probably no more friends as contacts.Â
But seriously, I have been able to get gmail (web) working with my new double authentication password(s). Also, my outlook for MAC is working using the special "generated App Password". (because Outlook cannot do the double authentication thingie)Ditto for the gmail app from google on my iPhone. (it works too).BUT I cannot get the iPhone Mail App to connect to Gmail.
I have deleted (i thought) my existing gmail setup from my iPhone. When I try to re establish the gmail settings, using either the password generated by the MAC / iCloud keychain generator or the App password, I get the message "My Name" is already added.
It looks to me that there is something in the iPhone that matches my gmail address, even though I deleted the account.Â

I've recently setup my email accounts on my Iphone 3GS to use the IMAP protocol.I have 3 email accounts (different domains) all hosted with Ehosting.The problem I'm having is the same for deleted or moved emails, and only happens on the Iphone.Whenever I delete or move an email, it is removed from my inbox, and appears in the trash or deleted items folder, or the destination move folder on my Iphone.However when the Iphone next checks for email, the messages all reappear in the inbox (as read)If I delete or move them again, I end up with multiple copies in the deleted or moved folder destination on the iphne, for however many times I delete or move the mail.The deleted and moved folders on my Iphone, only organise themselves correctly once I check my mail on my mac, or windows laptop, and that deals with the changes made.The problem then starts all over again once the next series of emails are received on the Iphone.Very frustrating when your out and about and you continually receive mail prevously read, deleted or filed in your inbox (albeit read), and not able to access the mail from a mac or laptop.
On my mac (and a laptop) the mail accounts work perfectly with the imap protocol, behaving as I would expect deleted are moved the to the trash or deleted items folder, until such time as I permanently delete them.Messages moved to a different folder phsically move to that folder.Ehosting are suggesting it should work fine, and the problems lies with the Iphone, although I'm not convinced.As a test I also have a SKY.com email address which I never use, but last night I set this up on the Iphone.This is in affect a gmail account, badged up by sky.This account worked and behaved as I would expect on the Iphone (contrary to the problems others experience with gmail accounts), with deleted or moved messages, being placed in the correct folder on the Iphne, and not re-appearing in the Iphnes inbox on the next check for mail.Hopefully I've explained the problem with enough details for someone to offer a fix or resolution, and before anyone suggests it, I dont want to revert to POP emails.

Those who have upgraded to new FW 031.023, could you please tell me if there are any major issues with IMAP email support ? I am on FW 021.024 and email works perfectly. I cannot use MFE for my office email and so have to depend on IMAP.

I have a N97 and have set up my IMAP email and all works ok, the only problem I have is that I can't find where to set up the sent mail folders. Currently I have to copy myself in on emails and have set up a rule in outlook to move these to the sent items folder. There must be a way of syncing the sent mail folders?? Can anyone help please.

I've had Blackberries for several years on T-Mobile, and I was always able to set up my mail accounts as either IMAP or POP3. I've switched to Verizon and when I set up my email accounts, they default to IMAP. I own my own domain and both IMAP and POP3 are supported.
I tried deleting my email accounts and setting them up again with an incorrect password so I could enter my own settings. However, I'm not given the option to select POP or IMAP. I prefer POP so that if I delete a message on my handlheld it will also be deleted from the server.

I'm having trouble setting up an IMAP email account. I have set up a new account through Setup > Email Settings but the Advanced Options says that the Email server type is "POP". How do I change this to IMAP?
This is for a Tour 9630 on Verizon Wireless.

A company I consult has FINALLY moved from POP3 email to IMAP. They are hosting with Network Solutions and NS just added the service to their account for an up-charge. The server information isn't changing at all, just the protocol.
When we reconfigure Outlook to use IMAP, will we also have to reconfigure all the Blackberrys or will they simply pickup the IMAP protocol from the server automatically?
In the past when I have set up Blackberrys I don't remember there being a distinction between POP and IMAP in the setup--if I remember correctly, POP/IMAP was always the same selection.

Why doesn't this feature exsist for IMAP servers that support PUSH in the latest iOS? Will it be added to iOS in the future, or is Apple not supporting it so you have to use Message or something else? It's quite anoying not being able to have my mail show up as fast as it does on my Windows email client using push on my IMAP account. My first experience emailing on an iOS device is that it's a bit stone age with IMAP support. Change this, and I'll be more likely to buy Apple products again in the future , if not, I will be ditching it

I am having repeated and seemingly inconsistent (though currently consistently) problems with gmail saying my password is incorrect. It's not. I tried this with push, and then resorted back to imap (with gpush app) and it now won't accept my password with imap at all. Gmail is not working with my iphone at all!What is the problem here? in the past two months gmail and my iphone don't play together well at all anymore!

What should I do to create an ordinary IMAP account with N97 S60 mail application? It used to be easy, but now the account setup is some kind of automated process - optimized for Ovi Mail, Gmail and such services. My email account surname is not my email address (fist.surname@gmail.com type) but something like "fisurnam". The result is that I give my password in vain, no connection established.
What should I do to create the account? It is also not clear, am I giving my password to Nokia service or is it going directly to the email account provider. This is an important thing as my work email password may not be given to anyone, not even to Nokia.

I use IMAP with my email account and set it up on my N97 (firmware v21.0.045). I have a lot of IMAP folders since i ready many mailing lists, they contain about 3000 mails at the moment. After setting it up on my N97 my C: went down from 15 MB to 1,4 MB! Although I set the memory to be used to E:. And IMAP does not download the whole mail, but just the header. So i wonder, why does IMAP on the N97 fill up C: so much? Why does it not completely use E: when told so? I use the internal mail client, no Nokia Messaging. Any hints on this?

I've recently got a BlackBerry Bold 9780, I am used to have smartphones with my company email all the time, changes I do in my desktop/server I want them in my smartphone and viceversa, we don't use M$ Outlook in the company, we have IMAP accounts.This is, maybe, the most basic feature of a smartphone but until now it seems that BlackBerry just has a 1-way email synchronization, changes that you do in your desktop/server do not reflect in your BlackBerry, if this is true the only thing I will miss wil be the BB messenger.
