Gmail Message ID

If you know the message ID, you can search for the message in Gmail by using the following search scheme: rfc822msgid:<XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX> . You may need to include the domain name during the search (rfc822msgid:<54126538.1818.0@wordpress.com>).

Outlook Error Message

” Task “anybody@gmail.com” – Receiving reported error (0x800CCC90) : ‘Your incoming (POP3) e-mail server has reported an internal error. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP). The server responded: – ERR Unable to retrieve rfc822msgid:xxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Every message in Gmail has a message ID assigned to it. You can find the Gmail Message ID by opening an email message and then clicking the down arrow beside the “Reply” arrow.

More than likely the issue is that Outlook downloaded the message but Gmail says the message was not downloaded yet. This results in the error message referenced above. 

Here are the steps I used to resolve this issue. 

Step One: Log into Gmail on the web. 

Step Two: In the search box, in Gmail, search for the message referenced in your error message it should look similar to this: rfc822msgid:<31799347-9C90-4BBB-917D-CF95CCC21451>. Make sure to type the message ID exactly how it is referenced in the error message. Depending on the message ID you may need to add @domain after it like this: rfc822msgid:<54126538.1818.0@wordpress.com>  .

If you typed everything correctly, you should find the offending email message. You can double check to make sure the email message ID matching the message ID of the error you are receiving in Outlook.

Step Three: Delete the offending email message from Gmail.

Step Four: Go back to Outlook and do a Send/Receive. The error message should disappear. If the error message does not disappear you can check out this older post about this issue or perhaps their are multiple messages that need cleared from Gmail. 

I hope this helps. Sound off in the comment section if it helped or if you have additional questions.

This is very useful if you accidentally forgot to attach a document or having the wrong recipient for the email. I would recommend enabling this feature. It may save you some embarrassment down the road.

Here is how to enable “Undo Send” for your Gmail account.

Step One: Log into your Gmail account.

Step Two: Click the gear in the right hand corner and go down to Settings.

Step Three: Once Settings is opened click the General tab and you will see an Undo Send Option.

Check the box enable undo send. You can specify how long you want Undo Send to be available. You can choose between 5-30 seconds.

Scroll down to the button of your page and save settings.

Now when you send an email you will have an option up top to undo send. 

If you decide to recall one of your email messages you will see the following pop-up.

I created the video below on how to setup your Gmail account as POP3 in Outlook 2013. However, if you would rather follow text instructions you will find them below.

Before we open Outlook lets visit your Gmail account.

Log into your Gmail and go the gear in the right corner and select Settings.

Go to the Forwarding and IMAP/POP setting tab. Enable POP for all mail.

Next go to this Google site https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps and select enable less secure apps.

Now lets open Outlook.

Open Outlook and select Manual Setup or additional server types.

Click Next.

Select POP/IMAP

• Enter your name and email address.
• Account Type: POP3
• Gmail server settings
  • Incoming Mail Server: pop.gmail.com
  • Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.gmail.com
• Enter your Username: you@gmail.com
• Enter your password
• Click More Settings

Click Outgoing Server tab and select “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication” also make sure “Use same settings as my incoming mail server” is selected.

Go to the Advanced tab

Gmail Outgoing Server settings: 587

Select TLS for encryption type for outgoing server.

Click OK when you have the settings entered.

Click Next and Outlook will test your account settings. If they test successfully, click Finish. Microsoft Outlook will then open up and you will be ready to send and receive email.

A customer was receiving this error message in Outlook 2007 the other day.

” Task “anybody@gmail.com” – Receiving reported error (0x800CCC90) : ‘Your incoming (POP3) e-mail server has reported an internal error. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP). The server responded: * OK Gimap ready for requests from (IP Address).

The customer was using a Gmail address in Outlook. The account was set up as POP3. I wasn’t sure what the fix for this big error code was going to be. It is actually quite simple.

Solution: 

Step One:  Open Outlook and go File > Account Settings

Step Two: Click the email account you are having trouble with and select Change.

Step Three: Go to the More Settings button.

Step Four: Click on advanced tab and change the Incoming server port to 995. Save your settings.

Once I changed the port to 995 the error disappeared and the customer was able to receive emails.

HatTip: Google Forums

Step One: Right-click on your Gmail account in Outlook and click new folder. Name the new folder All Mail.

Step Two: Right-click on your email account select Update Folder List. 

Your email account will synchronize your folders and will now bring down your email into your “All Mail” folder.

That was the “fix” that worked for me. If this didn’t fix your problem you can also try the following suggestion.

Right-click on the [Gmail] header and select IMAP folders. 

Now click query to show all the available folders. Make sure All Mail is listed and you are subscribed to that folder. If you aren’t subscribed to the “All Mail” folder, click subscribe and OK. You should be all set!

Traditionally, when you want to email someone you needed to get their email address. Google announced a few changes this week on their blog. Gmail will now suggest your Google+ contacts as recipients even though you don’t know their addresses. Lets stop and think, who really needs this? My friends have my email address and the people that don’t have it, really don’t need it.

By default for most people, Google has the “Email via Google+” option, set to “Anyone on Google+” can email you.  I am going to set that option to “only my Circles” can email me, without my address. I would recommend you to do the same. Most people I know can’t keep up with their email inbox already. Why would you want more random email? Don’t you get enough social updates about people you don’t care about already? 

Here is how you change the setting of who can send you email via your Google+ account. Drop down the little gear icon in your Gmail account and click Settings. Click the General tab and you will see half-way down the page, the option, Email via Google+. Click the drop down menu and you can choose between Anyone on Google+, Extended Circles, Circles, or No one. Choose the best option for you and save your changes.

This isn’t the worst thing to happen, but why does Google automatically set the option to “Anyone on Google+” can email me. You think they would respect our privacy, but then again Google is Google, and they can do anything.

This is strictly my opinion, by techspeeder.
