Gmail Sync and Attachments?
Is anyone else having problems getting attachments with gmail sync? I've been receiving them fine until around 1pm pacific time. Now, no matter what kind of attachment i send though, the email shows up as if there is no attachment at all.
Can someone using gmail sync please try to duplicate the problem? Thanks. |
Re: Gmail Sync and Attachments?
Ya I've been having randomness with push etc. I believe there servers are getting slammed as they underestimated the demand of this service and that it is in beta.
Things seem to work themselves out. |
Re: Gmail Sync and Attachments?
I am getting the same issue here. Email with attachment just shows up like it did not have an attachment on the phone.
|
Re: Gmail Sync and Attachments?
Ever since I switched to gmail sync I haven't been able to receive attached files. I don't know what the deal is.

Well... I've decided to disable gmail sync and go back to regular IMAP with the IMAP idle pusher service. Too many problems right now. There's quite a bit of delay at times. I'm also getting duplicates. Trash isn't mapped correctly in exchange, and still no attachments.
IMAP with the IMAP pusher service works perfectly (google has been running IMAP for quite some time now, so they've pretty much got it all worked out). Sometimes mail gets pushed to my phone so quickly that the email pops up on my phone before it shows up in thunderbird... on my computer ;) For those of you who would like to do the same and get your gmail pushed while we wait for google to work out the kinks in gmail sync... just uncheck the "E-Mail" box under your active sync settings. Then do the following steps: Add your gmail account as a normal account. It's pretty self explanatory, but you can find directions here if you get confused along the way: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/a...n&answer=78886 Make a directory in your program files folder and extract the files in the attached zip to that directory. Run the ImapPusherService.exe file from your phone and put in your information. Once that's done, your mail should push instantly and you'll get your attachments back. To make sure the service starts every time, copy a shortcut to ImapPusherService.exe and paste it in your startup folder. I've also found that I get better battery life by going into activesyc and changing the sync schedule to every 4 hours. Since you're only synching calendar and contacts (or one of them.. or neither of them) there's really no need to have it sync as new items arrive. Imap Pusher Service will take care of email separately and instantly (instead of synching contact, calendar, and email all at the same time) and you'll have less battery drain. Let me know if this helps you guys out. Also let me know if you have any questions about the setup. |

I might give it another shot in a month or so to see how it's doing. But then again, I might not. Gmail sync has quite a few issues from what I can tell and IMAP is already solid, so what's the point... |
Re: Gmail Sync and Attachments?
Thanks. You got me converted back to IMAP.
cpl. questions What is your workaround for the Sent Mail folder being blank in wm6.1? I created a filter/label in gmail called SntMl to show all sent from my email address and used it to keep in sync. Since ImapPusher takes care of incoming mail.. what is the recommended setting for the send/receice frequency? ideally.. i'd like the sent mail to be sent right away in true sense!! Another question. Where to set 2 weeks of email instead of 7 days or 30 days?? once again.. ur post brought back my sanity. Quote:

Re: Gmail Sync and Attachments?
No problem ;) Most of the time I spend on this phone is for e-mail, so it's pretty important to me.... and I know there are tons of you out there who do the same.

Outlook's "Sent Item's" folder will always be empty, unless you enable "save a copy of sent messages" which just causes a different set of problems. It also isn't necessary to check that box since with google, anything that goes through SMTP is automatically flagged as "sent" and stored under your "sent mail" filter. We just have to wait for microsoft to either give in and give us proper IMAP support, or wait for google to finish with sync. I was hoping that microsoft would cave before google did, but alas...

Welcome back to IMAP :) |
Re: Gmail Sync and Attachments?
It's a known issue they are working on: http://www.google.com/support/forum/...49d4&hl=en#all

However, it is not the only problem that users are experiencing right now. And they haven't really given us any kind of time frame on when it'll be fixed. IMAP works just fine as does the IMAP pusher service. No need to wait around when we have something that already works. I'm sure google will work things out in the coming months, but in the meantime... lets get some email! |
Re: Gmail Sync and Attachments?
double bonus in an hour. thank you. thank you.=D>
1 more question. Is there a setting to pull 2 weeks of email instead of 7 or 30 days? I do have a 8gb card but worried abt system slowdown due to large mailbox issues like a desktop outlook. Whats ur experience? Quote:

My suggestion would be to try 30 days, see how you like it. If it doesn't work for ya, then just switch back. But definitely search to find out if there's a way to add a 2 week option. |

Re: Gmail Sync and Attachments?
One problem with Gmail Exchange push is: your reply address is your gmail address, cannot be set to one of the verified alias.
|
Re: Gmail Sync and Attachments?
is it possible to setup 2 gmail accounts w/this, or will entering settings for a second overwrite the 1st..?

Re: Gmail Sync and Attachments?
I have been having lots of issues with google sync where it keeps deleting all my emails and resyncing and somehow still missing some of the latest messages. I attempted to use the IMAP pusher service, but as soon as I click it I get an error message:
File or assembly name 'ImapPusher, Version=1.0.3354.36827, Culture=neutral, PublicToken=null' , or one of its dependencies, was not found. Any ideas? I tried reinstalled .NET CF 3.5, but that won't reinstall although it appears to be working fine (other programs that depend on it, like Pocket Shield, still work). |
Re: Gmail Sync and Attachments?
FUUUP, thanks for posting this fix, it works great!
|
Re: Gmail Sync and Attachments?
Hi fuuup:
Thank you for this effort. Could you please change it to restart after 10 minutes or so? One minute is too short and drains battery fast. I have to live with this imap idle push, because Windows Live insists on sending heartbeat every 5 minutes which drains battery too fast. Without Live pushing, my Diamond idles for 24 hours and consumes less than 10% battery; with Live on, my battery goes down to 10% in 5 hours!!! Exchange push is even worse than Live, in terms of heartbeat interval and battery life impact. |

Thanks for the "u" version of Imappusher. I have using this for a while but when I installed WinMo 6.5 I was running into some errors but the version you posted fixed that for me.
|
Re: Gmail Sync and Attachments?
Maybe you all can help me. I set up activesync with using SSL, m.google.com, username@gmail.com, my password, and nothing in the domain as it grays out when I put in username@gmail.com.
But the sync fails. The phone connects to Windows Mobile Center in Vista but doesn't sync. Help? I'd really like my contacts imported into the new phone! :) Thanks! |

1. Created folder Gmail under Program Files (main memory) after I added an IMAP account following the google link. 2. Unzipped the attached file in the above folder 3. Ran ImapPusher.exe file. Put a shortcut of that file into Startup folder. I tried testing it by emailing myself and nothing happened. I had to hit Send/Receive manually. Also, none of my contacts nor calendar items synced. It didn't even ask anywhere to set it up. What steps do I need to take to fix this? Thanks for your help. |

I didn't have tasks nor email set. However, I did have calendar checked. Once I removed it, I got my gmail contacts on my phone.
I have another problem. Now the phone shows that I have one new email but when I go to check them, there is nothing new in there. Do you know what could cause it? EDIT: I checked email in activesync to read that Tips/Tricks email. Then I deleted it and unchecked email in active sync. One problem solved. Also, I'm still not receiving my emails immediately unless I manually hit Send/Receive. By the way, when I ran .exe file with settings. I tried to run it again and it won't execute. Has anyone had this? |
Re: Gmail Sync and Attachments?
I deleted ImapPusher to start everything anew. However, now it won't execute. Is there a special way to delete it? I think some files are sitting somewhere.
