I deleted my gmail POP account, then went through the setup for a
gmail IMAP account. When I clicked "Finish", SM crashed. I filled out
the crash report, restarted SM - same story. Rebooted, tried again,
same story.
What's going on?
I don't know .. try to create a pop/smtp access to your gmail account.
If this is working, try to change it into an imap access ...
I'd been using a pop/smtp access to the gmail account for a couple of
years, but wanted to change to an imap account so I could access it from
my desktop PC and my iPad. There did not appear to be anyway to change
the pop account to an imap account, so I removed the pop account, then
tried to add an imap account, and the crashing began.
You can simply add a imap account (in SM) without deleting the old SM
pop account. It just needs to have a different folder name, which
happens automatically if the old account is still on disk.
You might have to reconfigure gmail for imap (but I don't think so).
Maybe what happened is the old account folder was re-used by SM, and
some residue caused a conflict.
To work around that, start in offline mode.
Then define a new SM account, before deleting the old one. It will be
in a new location, and should work without problem.
Be sure to delete or deactivate the old (pop and imap) SM accounts
before changing to online mode. Trying to download from the same
account from google at the same time could cause a problem. (Google
will probably detect that as a breach of security.)
You do have to select either POP or IMAP in your gmail account, which
I've done. The IMAP account on my iPad works correctly.
I anticipated problems with having a pop and imap account for the same
email account, so that's why I deleted the pop account. I'm still
puzzled that adding an account can crash SM as I finish setting up the
account and before I even try to use it.
I'll try Rob's suggestion to delete the IMAP folder from SM, which was
created automatically, and has three IMAP accounts in it for the three
times I tried. I just noticed my profile's Mail folder has a
mail.gmail.com folder that was used by the pop account. I'll delete
that, also.
