PCWorld: Bug Fix For Google Outlook Sync Tool Comes Sooner Than Expected

It was initially expected that the fix for this bug effecting some users of Google’s tool for syncing Google Mail to Outlook would take some days, but the company started rolling out the patch on Wednesday.


“Google has found a fix for a bug that affected Google Apps’ Sync for Microsoft Outlook by preventing some e-mails from being downloaded from Gmail servers to the Outlook program on end-users’ PCs.

Since users were unaware that not all their e-mail messages were being replicated to Outlook, they often failed to respond in a timely manner to affected messages, according to problem reports posted to the Google Apps discussion forum.”
