Solution to IMAP Email!
- Okay, when setting up email, instead of putting in the incorrect password, set your username to [email protected]. It will then let you configure your settings, including IMAP, manually!
This is not my original solution. Someone else came up with it in this forum. I cannot seem to find the post so if that person reads this thread let me know and I will give credit. I was just trying to get the solution out in the open so all could see.11-24-08 11:36 AMLike 0 - I have imap, I just type my email and password and the email setup will do everything else automatically. Doesnt matter if it is imap or pop3, it will be pushed.11-24-08 11:38 AMLike 0

my way of getting "push" is to have all my emails forwarded to the blackberry device email with its reply-to set as my original email address....
and that method gets emails much faster than the 'imap' method stated above.
i wish it did work though so i could delete on device and have it appear in my email client like that.11-24-08 05:03 PMLike 0 - 11-24-08 05:59 PMLike 0

- I have the same problem. However I called Verizon and had them set it up for me.

- Yeah I did it all as they said....I finally got it to go through, but guess what...nothing has changed. It still acts like POP. I realized that my problem is probably that I am not "just" gmail...its my domain with google apps. And that seems to be giving everyone a total fit.
I cannot get my folders, I cannot get anything. The one way sync is driving me batty too. My bf just showed me his wondows phone all decked out with his IMAP settings (same thing - his own domain on google apps) and it has all his folders and everything...made me want to beat him - but I didn't say that out loud!!! LOL
SO what can we do? I read BB site - doesn't seem to be anything they suggest...I can't find anything on ANY boards that shows a solution...and I am getting cranky!11-26-08 10:11 PMLike 0
