I have a 2 gmail accounts configured as IMAP on outlook.

Each time I receive an email on these accounts, it will appear as UNREAD for a short while, then, after a couple of syncs, it will turn to READ, even if I do not read it, hover over it, click on it, etc...

I thought that could be a sync problem with my iphone (the same accounts are also configured as IMAP on my iphone) so I switched off the iphone. Same problem
I thought that could be a sync problem with the web interface of gmail so I logged off my accounts on my firefox web browser and exited the browser. Same problem.

I have no other device that connects to my gmail accounts neither in pop nor IMAP.

I have a third email account configured on outlook as pop, and this one works perfectly.

The problem happens on outlook for mac 2011 version 14.3.5 and 14.3.6 (just updated outlook to that version).

I am on MAC OS 10.6.8

This has been happening since I decided to use IMAP for my gmail accounts (I was using pop before).

It is very annoying as I regularly miss time critical emails.

Anyone who can point me to a solution or a work around will have my eternal gratitude!!

THanks :)
I cannot find a tutorial on setting up IMAP account in Mac Mail. Currently I am using POP which is not ideal for my situation.
Yesterday I changed what folders are visible in IMAP for my Gmail accounts.  The only ones I show now are: inbox, sent, draft, trash and starred.  

I am now getting a duplicate folder name error 1025 in /Gmail/Spam/.  I have hidden those folders from IMAP and in the case of the one below the root, I removed.  Under advanced/folders I said move junk mail to trash.  My Outlook version is 14.2.3.  Apple mail does not have this problem nor does Outlook for Windows.
bonjour  puis je changer le  compte Pop en Imap  sans perdre les mails ? ...
merci pour votre  reponse

I am set up with and IMAP account, so all my Macs are synced.
I had problems with outlook from the outset. Mails disappeared. Somehow got it back on track.Outlook started downloading mails from IMAP. Towards the end when almost done, it disappeared from DECK and also from the application folder in Office files. Kindly help

I see in my inbox from my Gmail account only emails not older than 2 weeks. I would like all my messages in the inbox to see even older. Where can I change this? I use IMAP. I clean my inbox regularly, the amount was never more than a full screen.

Outlook for Mac 2011, deleted emails from inbox gets downloaded again into inbox.  I am using yahoo imap account (Subscription account).

version is upto date 14.2.5. What might be causing the issue and what needs to be done.
