I have set up my Gmail account with Outlook 2010 SP1 using IMAP. One problem is bugging me like anything here is the sync problem. When I hit "Mark All as Read" in outlook for gmail account, outlook becomes non-responsive for several minutes. On the other hand Windows Live Mail is setup with same gmail account in same machine, but it is quite fast in this operation.
I let outlook automatically set up my gmail account, but I don't know what's going wrong here.
Following is my system spec
Win7 ultimate 32 sp1
Outlook 2010 sp1
MS Security essential
Comodo firewall [IMAP ports are open, as WLM is working fine]
Can anybody please suggest me some workaround here to speed outlook up? I have searched a lot in Google and MS Office help site, but nothing is of good help.
How many messages are you syncing to your Outlook? Every single message from Gmail, or only the last couple of days or so? – iglvzx – 2012-01-07T20:33:45.583
I have over 2000 mails in Gmail, but all them except the recent 20 mails are all READ. I am trying to mark those 20 messages as READ from outlook. Same operation is happening in WLM in just moments, but outlook seems to take forever!!! – Anindya Chatterjee – 2012-01-07T20:40:00.830
I usually use this option for Spam and Trash folders-"Download holders only" and for Inbox and Drafts-"Download complete item including attachments".This prevents Outlook from downloading mails and attachments that are marked as Spam by Gmail. – Ahmed Bilfaqih – 2012-01-07T20:53:32.987
