BlackBerry Email Does Not Sync with my Gmail!
- I have been plagued by this problem for a long time (ever since I had BlackBerry)... The BIS updates never fixed it when I had my 9530 and 9630. I figured that when I went to OS7 it would all work out but it hasn't.
The symptoms:
- If I delete a new message on my phone (choose On Mailbox & Handheld) it comes right back the next time I receive mail (sometimes sooner than that).
- If I read a new message on my Gmail it never shows as read on my BlackBerry
- If I delete a message on my Gmail it never deletes on my BlackBerry
- If I read a new message on my BlackBerry it never shows as read on my Gmail
- If I respond to an email on my BlackBerry it does show up in the "thread" on my Gmail.
- If I archive a message on my Gmail it does not disappear from my BlackBerry inbox.
In other words I seem to have absolutely no sync between my Gmail and Blackberry. Can anyone help?08-24-11 10:20 AMLike 0 - I had the same frustration as you did and I'm sad to say that blackberry just isn't 100% gmail friendly...08-24-11 10:30 AMLike 0
- I did a little test series and these were my outcomes:
Test 1: Read on Gmail
Outcome: Does not show as read on BlackBerry
Test 2: Read on BlackBerry
Outcome: Shows as read on Gmail
Test 3: Delete (new mail) on BlackBerry
Outcome: Email is still visible in Inbox but it is also visible in Trash (as unread). It does not show up if I check “All Mail”.
Test 4: Delete (read mail) on BlackBerry
Outcome: Email is still visible in Inbox and is unread. It is not visible in “All Mail”. It is visible in Trash as unread.
Test 5: Delete (new mail) on Gmail
Outcome: Does not delete on BlackBerry
Test 6: Delete (Read mail) on Gmail
Outcome: Does not delete on BlackBerry (or show read)
Test 7: Archive (read mail) on Gmail
Outcome: Does not archive on BlackBerry (or show read)
Test 8: Archive (read mail) on BlackBerry
Outcome: Does not archive on Gmail Inbox (or show read). It still shows as unread in All Mail.08-24-11 10:58 AMLike 0 - That's basically the same results I get on my 9650. It's sad to know they didn't do anything about it on the newer model.08-24-11 11:19 AMLike 0
- I have the same issues, it is infuriating. It works even worse than with the Gmal Plugin in OS6 and OS5. This is a serious, serious flaw on RIM's part.
Also, after several issues, I have come to reliza that if I archive an email it wil break the 2 way syncing with my device, literally it wouldn't work until I set up the email account again.
Edit: Also, I am going to blame VZ on this too, I remember having this exact same issues with my 9650 but non, and I mean ZERO with my 9780 on T-Mobile.
Can you tell me what carriers do you have?

BTW the iPhone handles gmail syncing perfectly.08-24-11 03:24 PMLike 0 - I had this exact problem today when I downgraded from 296 to 261.
I was not getting emails. What I had to do was delete the email accounts from the Email Setup, then re-add them one at a time again.
I got the activation email immediately and emails started flowing properly then08-24-11 03:24 PMLike 0 - I had problems setting up my 9930 with Gmail. I was using the priority inbox and when I setup my 9930 I found I had to go back to classic as I could not make the BB show mail that was prioritized by Gmail to other folders.
Gmail integration to BB has always been sketchy at best. Every once in a while they pop out an announcement that the BIS upgrade is going to majorly improve Gmail integration but it ever seems to do that.08-24-11 03:36 PMLike 0 - Never had problems with GMAIL. mind you, I have always shrunk the GMAIL plugin though. Dont know if that matters. I don't need it and I hate it08-24-11 03:37 PMLike 0
- Du, which is a carrier in Dubai
But what does the carrier have to do with syncing?
The fix is simple as there is a bug somewhere when upgrading / downgrading an OS in OS 7 I noticed
I just delete the accounts from email setup. do a battery pull, then readd them again, works like a charm
I confirm by sending each of the emails a test account and they receive it instantly08-24-11 03:56 PMLike 0 - Du, which is a carrier in Dubai

I have not tried doing a battery pull but I will now. However, I do think is a. BIS issue, again, for some reason this issues are all too familiar with Verizon, I had my 9780 with T-Mobile for 8 months and never had a single issue.
