    I use gmail account and have it set to imap, so if I send mail from mac mail on my iMac or MBP, the other machine has it as a mirror so they are always the same. If I send a mail from my iPhone it appears in sent items on my phone, but does not appear in gmail so neither the imac or MBP can pick it up.

    Another problem is that for some reason the inbox on the phone has a huge blank from the 22nd Aug - 6th Sept on the iphone, yet the mails are on both mac and in gmail:confused:

    I googled 'till my fingers bleed, deleted the account of the phone and set it up using the auto and manual settings on the gmail config page, but the problem remains. So can a MacRumours guru put me out of my misery, and help me out or am I doomed to having to cc myself on every email I send from my iPhone.

    Try setting the account up as Microsoft Exchange on your iPhone.

    Email: your email
    Domain: leave blank
    Username: your email
    Password: your password
    Description: whatever you want

    Tap "Next"

    I'm going to bump this thread because I'm having the same problem and have no idea on how to solve it. Starting today, there was a 2 week gap in my inbox on my iPhone only (December 15th-26th, the mail is there on the server and on my Mac. I've tried deleting the account and re-adding it. I've tried to set it up at a true imap with no luck.

    I've tried restoring my phone from a backup and no luck with that either.

    I did set it up as an Exchange and that created its own problems (only the most recent ~30 messages were showing up, and no outgoing messages were showing up).

    Any help would be great.....wife is 9 months pregnant, and I need access to my email while in the hospital.
