Google sync vs. (Google) email send and receive

[lphilpot]

This is just for my understanding... mostly.

Is there any overlap between Google synchronization and email send / receive? For example, if I have my Google sync set to one-way only (from Google to EPIM, not from EPIM to Google), can that affect email updates made by EPIM? Note I'm asking about email ops only, not calendar, tasks, etc.

The reason I ask...

I'm using EPIM for IMAP Google mail, as well as for my Google calendar and contact. I ran into issues with my Contacts getting badly messed up, apparently somehow as a result of EPIM (??). I'm not pointing a finger, that's just the best I could determine. Anyway, that's in the past and no worries.

As a result I reconfigured my Google sync to pull down calendar, contact and task changes, but not push them back up. That's fine because I do all such edits in a browser anyway.

But I've noticed virtually every time I go to my GMail on the web, there are messages in my Inbox that (in EPIM) I've moved elsewhere to other folders days / weeks ago. Those messages in GMail web will have the other folder labels, but they're still in the Inbox. There are also quite often drafts of messages in the GMail Drafts folder I've long ago composed and sent via EPIM, where its Drafts folder is empty.

So it looks (?) like my GMail Inbox and Drafts aren't getting correctly -- or at least fully -- updated.

I would be tempted to think this is just a quirk of GMail but when I used other local email clients they always kept the online Inbox, folders, etc. fully in sync, given a little time.

So is my one-way "update only" Google sync somehow interfering with email sync? (I can't be sure but I think this was happening before I changed from two- to one-way Google sync, though.)

Thanks.

Your one-way sync should not affect email synchronization in EssentialPIM. If you are experiencing issues with email synchronization, I would recommend removing the Google email account from EssentialPIM and then re-adding it. This process can help refresh the connection and resolve any potential syncing issues.

It's not a major issue since it stays correct in EPIM. I just clean it up online if / when needed. But I've already removed and readded the account more than once for other troubleshooting and it made no difference.

Thanks.
