emails only showing 'indox' in preview plane (gmail)

What do you mean with "preview plan"? Stand by screen?

what i mean is when you go into messsages with the screen open, on the right hand side of the sms inbox it shows you a preview of messages, the same for sent items and reports.

But when i select my mailbox all i get displayed is 'inbox' rather then a preview of my emails.

I am using this Gmail IMAP for traveling outside country. Roaming internet is expensive and i prefer free WIFI to check my emails.

Inside country, I use Black Berry push email. BB GMAIL account is ok, I have direct preview in the right side.

ummm im sure ive seen some screen shots somewhere which shows all emails when the mailbox is selected thats why i asked.

I guess its not the case as your getting the same thing 🙄

This 'only showing inbox' issue appears when you use IMAP rather than POP3. I know, because I tried setting gmail up using both.

My best solution to this is to set up the mailbox for simply sending emails, and use the gmail app for actually reading them, or set up using POP3, and setting gmail to archive the email when you "delete" it.

Also, the problem with IMAP is that it doesnt download your new emails when it connects, only the headers, which kind of makes it as use(less)ful as the gmail app itself. Oh, and the gmail app doesn't let you add attachments.
