    Forgive me if this is the wrong forum to post this in

    I have two Gmail accounts, I'm trying to sync all the folders in them to view them on my blackberry

    When I view some folders, it shows some emails but not all, and some folders don't even have any emails.
    I have already enabled folder sync

    Thanks

    Can you tell us what device and OS version you're using? The steps will depend on your device.

    Hey guys

    Sorry for the bump, I have moved all my emails and contacts to outlook.com, which really I would love to keep gmail

    Anyways, if I set my sync limit to forever, my emails in folders disappear"?

    From your description of all your Gmail folders being synced, but not all emails showing in those folders, it sounds like the sync time period is the culprit. Example, one of my Gmail accounts is set to sync 30 days worth of email. So, messages 31+ days drop out of my sub folders. My main Gmail account is set to "forever". All messages remain, no matter how old. (I have a fiew going back as far as 2004.)

    The setting "Initial Retrieval Amount", which determines how long messages stay on your device for an IMAP account like Gmail, is only available when setting up the account. It can't be edited afterward. So, if you want to stick with the Gmail account, you'd need to delete and re-add the account, using the advanced option to specify "forever". Then, after you've synced folders, everything will stay available on your device. Depending on how much email you have, you might want to be on WiFi when you do so, so you don't kill your data allowance.

    Hope this helps.

    I have set it to forever however that doesn't seem to work

    I've read that gmail uses labels instead of folders

    I have moved emails to my "folders" on the web in Gmail instead of just labeling them

    Do I have to file them on my z30 to the folder?

    I've set my "folders" on gmail as "Show in IMAP" but that doesn't seem to work

    Edit: also how can I sent a different reply as email if I only have one account setup on the device, but have two emails on gmail web?

    Thanks

    OK, let's address these points separately:

    Due to Gmail's "creative" method of dealing with email, Gmail labels become folders on your device. So, if you apply more than one label to an email message on Gmail/web and archive it, that email will show in each folder on your device under the corresponding folder. A message with a label assigned to it that is not archived will show in your device Inbox (and Hub). Filing on device equates to archiving in Gmail.

    So, if on Gmail you label a message "Work" and archive it, it will show under the folder "Work" on your device.

    ***Note that the "All Mail" label will not show on your device. So, don't archive any messages without labeling them, if you want to access them on the go.

    Also, if you wish to have Gmail on device set up so that email deleted on device deletes within Gmail, take a look at this article. http://crackberry.com/how-get-gmail-...hout-archiving

    As for "send as", BB 10 (like most mobile OS's) does not support sending as an alias.

    Thanks

    However I don't know why I still have the problem of having no emails on the device in the folders

    What's weird is that I have them in inbox but not under say.. "Work"

    As for alias, I would have to add multiple emails and have duplicate emails showing up in hub?

    Edit: I just reset BlackBerry Hub via the swipe gestures and all my emails showed up.. weird (I still have that alias question though)

    Thanks

    Is that for all attachments, or one type of attachment in particular.

    Let's try a hard reboot. Press and hold the volume up/down buttons until the screen shot notice appears, the device powers down, powers up, and you see the startup animation. Wait a few minutes, then try opening the attachment again.
