Re: Anyone else using WM 6.5 with Gmail IMAP?
Yes, it solved the problem on my phone. When I deleted messages on my Imagio, I won't see them in my email program later (Thunderbird, which may not matter)

Re: Anyone else using WM 6.5 with Gmail IMAP?
Hmmm, well that is darned peculiar. I can't imagine what I can be doing differently, especially since these very same accounts worked perfectly with my WM 6.1 version of the same email app. If it was happening to other Gmail users, then I'd figure they'd changed something about the email app, but it looks like I'm the only one. If anyone else runs across this thread and has any ideas, please drop a reply. I'm completely out of ideas.

Re: Anyone else using WM 6.5 with Gmail IMAP? ***Fixed***
I found the answer. It is an innocuous little setting in the email program on the WM 6.5 phone. First, you must have the 'Delete items off server' setting that Fwaits mentioned in post #3. But that won't work alone.
Open the Email program but don't choose an email account to view. Select Menu/Options. Now instead of choosing a specific account for editing, click the 'Storage' tab at the bottom of the screen for settings that control all accounts. Open the drop-down box under the item called 'Empty deleted items' and choose 'Immediately'. (I had it on 'Manually.) Now your IMAP messages will be deleted from your Gmail inbox when you delete them on your Windows Phone. |

Good find, mine defaults to On Connect/Disconnect and works fine, not sure why yours got set on Manual as I've never had to change that setting from the default. Anyway, glad it's working properly now.

Re: Anyone else using WM 6.5 with Gmail IMAP?
I was all through the phone when I first got it... playing around, seeing what the options were, changing things that seemed reasonable. I don't think the manual choice would have seemed appealing on purpose, but I probably just hit the drop-down arrow to see what the options were and ended up changing it. I'm just glad I finally tracked it down; it was driving me crazy! Thanks for your help along the way!

Re: Anyone else using WM 6.5 with Gmail IMAP?
I'm using IMAP to access Gmail from my PPC. I have another Outlook exchange account. Since I switched my outlook account to sync directly with exchange I have problems accessing my gmail account. It doesn't show any mails. If I make extra labels I see them added as folders so login is correct. It just won't show me any mails. Does anybody else recognize this problem and has a solution?
