IMAP gmail mail problems

[hellejoep]

I have configured my Outlook mobile to work with gmail's imap service. Some of the e-mail are perfectly readable but some I recieve don't even have a message body, it is completely empty.....
Is anyone experiencing the same problems?
Cheers,

HJ

I have set it up to headers only of the last 3 days and it works fine!

It worked well for 24 hours, now i can see only attachments and msg header, body unfortunately is gone. :(

That is exactly my problem, is it a problem @ gmail?

Think so. Cause many people have this problem.

I just sent a help question to Gmail support, let's see what comes up

I am using FlexMail 2007 on my WM6 device with Gmail IMAP4 and all of the message body appears without a problem, regardless of the format of the original message (plain, rich, HTML), so it might be the WM6 e-mail client that is causing the problem.

Here is the Google mail support team answer:
Hello,

Thank you for your report.

We are aware of this problem, and our engineers are working diligently to
find a solution. We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have
caused.

Sincerely,

The Google Team

Let's hope they get it fixed soon!

I also have this problem.
Gmail that is html or rich text will not show on my Kaiser. if its plain text it works fine, otherwise its a blank screen.
Also just noticed that I received an email with a pdf attachment. the attachment supposedly opened up just fine but the pdf file had the lines (it was an invoice) but no text whatsoever.
I sure hope Gmail fixes this soon, its a royal pain.

Anyone have better luck if you use the POP option with Gmail instead of the IMAP option ??

POP3 works fine for me.

Yeah this problem has been around ever since they've used imap. pop works fine, but when you send a message, it will appear as one of your inbox items.

I run the same setup, but I run gmail imap on 2 mobile devices, the TyTN II and a Nokia E65.

The E65 works well by downloading the header and then if i want to view the email it gives me the option to download the content.

The TyTN downlaods some of the emails but not others.

I went this morning into Manage Folders and then Select and Hold so that the sub menu appears and then select folder options, this brings up another menu page that gives the option to download header or full email content.

I have not managed to test this as i only have issues with emails from facebook ironically but it might solve the problem.

Its a known GMail issue with WM6. Nothing you can do on the device end will fix it. Check out the Official Google Blog.
