I do like the way gmail works but the IMAP stinks! It works justKarl, I know we are supposed to try and help people with the actual
fine for a few days and then like today it almost stopped working. I
hope this will make the list.
So I am looking for something I can buy that works almost all the time.
questions they ask but the problem with that is that when people are
having trouble they often become frustrated and attribute the problem to
a wrong cause and seek a solution based on that.
It would probably be more productive and likely to get better answers if
you would make a more detailed trouble report. Detail what is happening
that you think shouldn't be happening, what isn't happening that you
think should be happening and any other things, like confirm that you
still have a connection at the time the problem occurs. Symptoms.
I remember you mentioning trouble with Gmail IMAP access not too long
ago and at that time you mentioned someone was fouling it up for you. If
there is a chance your password was compromised, you'll just continue to
have trouble with that account until you change it. But, you can't rely
on everyone reading this who might be able to help you to remember any
history involved, so a good trouble report is very important. I realise
it takes time and trouble to write it out. Took time for me to type this
advice too but that's why we come here.
One thing you might do is open another account with a strong password
and see if it works the way you want and expect. Also note what poster
Tommy Trussell mentioned about trying the web interface. If you need an
invite to make it easy to open another account, I imagine one of us
would send you one.
well at the moment. The time I thought someone had interfered with my
IMAP, it was Google that was broken, not someone else causing just me a
problem.
Yesterday I received 8 large emails that IMAP was not working on.
When I tried to send mail it would take a minute to process through
Gmail's SMTP. These are signs that IMAP is failing.
Well, large email have always been problematic. Of course, I don't know
how you define large. :-) If they were coming down at the same time as you
were trying to send, your broadband bandwidth may have been saturated and
thus slow to respond.
Do you have gnome-system-monitor on your system, if so you could look at
the Resources tab and get a graphical representation of upload and
download in the Network History graph.
