Help with outlook and Gmail!

Hi everyone,

So I got my new computer , and for some reason my outlook refuses to sync with my gmail.

The error message I get is:
Task 'Synchronizing subscribed folders for [email protected].' reported error (0x800CCCD2) : 'Outlook cannot synchronize subscribed folders for [email protected]. Error: An IMAP command failed. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'

I have 3 gmail accounts set up through outlook, and for each of them I just went through the normal process of setting up an email (they automatically did all the settings, just had to input my emails/pws).

I'm primarily looking to use it for the calendar, but would love it if I can get rid of this error message every time outlook tries to send/receive. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

 

[1] Do you have IMAP enabled in gmail?

[2] ensure you have outlook configured correctly https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78799

[3] It might be that there is just too many emails to sync. There's a couple of things you can do to fix this.

In gmail, go to settings:
[a]
go to tab:Forwarding POP/IMAP
check off the box for Limit IMAP folders to contain no more than this many messages


go to tab:Lables
For All Mail, uncheck the box for Show in IMAP

 

1) Yes, IMAP is enabled under gmail settings (as is POP)

2) Setting up my gmails with outlook required me to do no steps to configure it. I only added my email and password, and outlook did the rest.Looking through the settings, it looks like what outlook's configuration for my gmail accounts were correct.

3) A. I limited the messages to 1000, which was the default when I clicked to limit it.

B. For Labels, All mail - I unchecked it.

Thanks for the info. I'm running send/receive all and will let you know if any of this helped..

 

any other advice? Tried the above and it syncs ssometimes, but errors sometimes...
