In my Gmail account I receive lots of email and I have several filters; the mayority of them apply a label to the message and "archive" the message (Skip the Inbox). I don't want to receive those last messages in my Blackberry but I couldn't find a way to do it. I guess it's related to the IMAP usage of the Blackberry. Moreover, I had visual notificacitions for those archived messages but they didn't appear in the corresponding mailbox but did appear in the main general mailbox. I just want to receive the messages that I see in my Inbox in the Web.
What I did was delete the previously created Gmail accounts and create others with the following procedure:
- Setup → Email settings → Add → Other
- In E-mail address put a wrong address...for example xxx@ggggmail.com (I couldn't find a way to directly enter manually the mail settings)
- In password enter whatever you want
- Press Next. You'll see an error. Now you have the option to "provide the settings"...follow this link
- Email type: POP/IMAP
- Email address: correct the prevously entered address with your real Gmail adress (can be an Gmail Apps or for your domain adress)
- Password: your real password
- Email server: pop.gmail.com
- Username: the same Email Address
I guess this way I'll lost some functionality of the enhanced plug-in or IMAP protocol, but I just need the basic funcionality of receiving the most important mails (my inbox).
You have to enable POP in your Gmail settings.
UPDATE: I have just seen the Manage Labes section in Gmail, has options to show or not labels in IMAP, so I'll try IMAP again.
UPDATE: trying IMAP was a pain. At first try, it failed to configure saying I had to activate IMAP to "All Mail". I did it and I ended up receiving all the email I automatically archived through filters, which I didn't want to see in my Inbox. It seems that even if I manually configure IMAP, it ends using the Enhanced Gmail Plugin which mess up everithing.
UPDATE: I'll try removing the Enhanced Gmail Plugin using CrackUtil.
