PCWorld: Trouble With Google Apps-Outlook Sync Tool

The bug causes the sync tool to fail to move some messages from Google to Outlook so that users effected by it don’t see messages at all or find them too late when they check their Google client. A fix is on the way.


“A bug in Google Apps’ Sync for Microsoft Outlook that has apparently existed for months is causing some e-mail messages to remain in Gmail servers and not be downloaded into Outlook, causing end users to overlook messages or see them late.

End users in organizations hit by the bug are having to check the Gmail Web interface periodically to make sure they aren’t missing any e-mail messages in their Outlook PC client.”
