Re: [iPad] iPad Mail not searching beyond the downloaded itemsI found a ton of references to this issue, but not one fix. It did seem to be more common amongst G-mail users than anyone else. Are you using a G-mail account by chance. I would hate to think that Google is purposely causing an annoyance in the native mail app in hopes of forcing people into using the G-mail app. I for one only use my old mobile me (iCloud) acct. and do receive the "continue to search server" message. |

i have gmail setup as exchange account, it syncs only 1 month local to ipad, and I just searched for a 3 year old email and it was found immediately |

I recall trying to use Exchange on iToys about a year ago, but for some reason (I can't remember) I didn't like it and reverted to IMAP. Can you let me know what negatives there might be. I wish I remembered why I undid it |

I dunno, Google's IMAP support sucks IMHO and using it confused the hell out of my wife.
Setting up as Exchange made things 'just work' for my wife. Google is moving away from ActiveSync support on free gmail accounts.
The basic problem is that Google created its own mail system and Gmail doesn't use a standard like IMAP, it only supports it for compatibility reasons (along with POP and Exchange ActiveSync). |

said by not quite right:I would hate to think that Google is purposely causing an annoyance in the native mail app in hopes of forcing people into using the G-mail app. Quite the opposite, actually. The original implementation of Google's ActiveSync didn't support this functionality but it was recently added (within the past 6 months or so). |

No active sync was only for business accts. Otherwise you had to set G-mail up as an Exchange acct. which the ability to do so has been removed by google with the introduction of the G-mail App ... |

Set up Exchange on iPhone, it works. Set it up exactly the same on iPad and nothing shows up in Mail Am I a moron? I deleted the exchange account and added it again, four times. I rebooted the phone I held iPhone up next to iPad to make sure I was doing it the same way Frustrated Does it work on iPad? |

I deleted the Exchange account again and I'm copying every item from iPhone and it still doesn't work. I even deleted the account from iPhone and added it back and it works perfectly (just to make sure I was doing it the same way) How can this be? How can iPhone work and iPad not? Thanks |

Thanks...so if I understand it correctly, setting up an Exchange account (which is frequently recommended here) is not really an option anymore. For some reason, I was able to set it up on iPhone, but not on iPad. Just wondering if the iPhone eventually stop working? |

Its my understanding that some devices are grandfathered in, its only new devices that won't be able to use Google EAS. Now after reading several articals on this I'm not so sure if anyone but paid Google Apps customers will be able to use EAS. |
