GMail/Google goes IMAP - Page 2

I have this option, but it's not working as well as I would like.

I have moved over to it, but on my WM6 device, any HTML formatted email does not show any body text on my device. The headers display, but no body of any kind. Plain text works just fine.

My previous IMAP solution rendered HTML just fine in WM6. What is it about GMail that doesnt' work right?

Same results here.
I have enabled it on Outlook and my Mogul. It works the way IMAP is supposed to but it's a little slower on Outlook and no HTML on the Mogul. Hopefully they will be upgrading the service in the coming weeks. Can't beat the price!

Came here to see if I was alone in this problem. Happy to see it's not my setup. Looking forward to an update soon to fix this. In the meantime I flip over to my Java version of gMail which is REALLY slick when I need to.

Cheers to IMAP though!

I personally don't like how Google has their IMAP setup. Their folder layout to me, sucks. LOL Instead of just having the same exact folder layout in IMAP as it is when you sign into GMail on the web, they got a couple of folders, then a GMail folder with the sub-folders. I use Outlook for my email client and I am a bit miffed at the fact I got to have two sets of folders to deal with; the one set being the Personal Folders from Outlook because of SMTP and then the IMAP set of folders. I could setup a new profile using when I was using HTTP to access my hotmail via Outlook and even the same thing with their Outlook Connector and I would not have to deal with the Personal Folders. I find it easier to stick with POP and only use IMAP on my Mogul.

When I set it up on my Tilt, I can not get the body of messages.

Im using Flexmail 4 and i have it set to download only the headers. Then if i want i can tell it to download the body to the email that i want to view. Im assuming that u r using Outlook, try to open the email and then see if it gives you an option to download the rest of the email.

I've noticed that the body of my emails are also not always downloading. This just started the other day. I currently have Gmail set to download the entire message, but some are still not showing up...
