iPhone 1.1.3 changes Gmail access to IMAP, affects mail deletion

Is anyone else having trouble locating a contact in map by selecting the address in contacts? b4 update it worked fine, (the contacts/locations i did b4 still work btw) but now maps says it can't find location when address is entered from contacts, finds them fine when address is entered manually.

moo - No you can still change where Mail puts deleted messages by going into your Advanced settings.

Although there is a setting, under advanced to map Trash to All Mail; it doesnt seem to work and reverts back to being mapped to Trash. I messed around with this for a little while last night, before finding the Google/gmail article that says:

If you like your email Archived when you hit delete on iPhone, set it up as an IMAP acct through OTHER (or just leave it alone if that's what you had set up from 1.1.1/2 days);

If you want your email actually deleted, when you hit delete on iPhone, just set up a new IMAP acct on iphone via the Gmail button/link in the iphone setup wizard.

ok after searching on gmails help site i think i found that "threaded" emails are always shown as individual with all pop or IMAP. if thats the case im screwed it looks like.

I had gmail set up with 1.1.2 under "other" like many of you are saying, and it worked great. now that i've installed 1.1.3 im having trouble. emails that are under the same string (ie: lots of re: to and from the same person) show up as individual re: emails in my inbox and not the single email like it should be. its frustrating me like crazy...anything i can do?

The way around this is to set your iphone "Trash" folder (in Advanced) to [Gmail]/All Mail.

The information in the article is incomplete. My deleted messages still go to the archive. The Gmail team gives a more accurate explanation: https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=86615

This post kind of implies that Gmail no longer makes POP available, but it's certainly still working on my various computers and smartphones (not iPhones). Is Gmail POP unavailable now on the iPhone and iPod Touch?

moo - No you can still change where Mail puts deleted messages by going into your Advanced settings.

Zak - you can still copy to your All Mail folder...or wherever you want to. The phone will still keep cached copies just like it used to under POP...just not always with attachments.

Island - Mail will only download the number of emails you specify in the Advanced settings...the 25 newest emails I believe is the default. And again, I don't think it always keeps attachments cached.

I'm glad this has changed!! It's completely pointless to have messages that I send to the TRASH not being deleted along with other Gmail trash messages!

If I wanted it archived, I'd move it to All Mail!


What's the big deal? :S

To Island: No, I think by default, mail will only download the 50 most recent (at a time?). It's an option in the mail settings.

Also, if you delete something from the inbox on gmail, you still have a copy in the "All Mail" folder. The "Archive" button on gmail works the same as the move to trash command on the iphone in this case - both simply remove the inbox copy while preserving the archived copy.
