email plugin does not show gmail mails

[deniax]

Hi,

I've setup the CF mail plugin to connect using IMAP to Gmail.
This worked only for 1 time. When all mails were received and were readable, after a new restart of my PC, I could not see any of my mails.

It was as if there was 0 mail in my inbox.

I've tried sending new mail, the mail plugin does say receiving, but after ± 10 seconds it returns to "messages"

I can send emails through the mail plugin, though

I've even tried re-installing Centrafase after deinstalling it.

Help?

post your error.log file in your LocalAppData folder under Centrafuse...

something must have happened with the email database...

"C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Centrafuse\error.log"

My email list is completely empty even though it saying Receiving 1/267

Another thing is counting emails:

Receiving 1/267
Receiving 1/266
Receiving 1/265
Receiving 1/264
Receiving 1/263
..
..
Receiving 2/63
Receiving 2/62


Very strange counting

why not 1/267, 2/267, 3/267

it is removing emails from the list and not storing them... Check how many days you have it set to keep in email settings... It will delete any emails older than todays date, minus that amount of days...

Hi David. Please find attached my log.
I just tried again to recieve mail (15th of April) did not work, but the log does not seem to update itself cause the last entry is of 2 days ago.

Hopefully you can find the problem

Cheers,
Bob

Hi David,

Did you or someone else manage to take a look at this?
It's very inconvenient, because I travel a lot and need to check my mail regularly.

Not strange at all- in your email settings, there is a number of days to keep emails. The first thing the plugin does when receiving emails is filter out all the emails that are older than todays date minus the number of days you chose to keep email. To do that, the plugin needs to get the email header from gmail first. Essentially, the headers are downloaded, then if they are old they are thrown away.

My guess is that the emails are being downloaded from the server in ascending order by date, which is why it takes forever to get through the old emails. IMAP v4 supports some server side filtering. I don't know what version gmail is using though.
