Help Gmail conversations don't quite sync

My dad just got a new Galaxy Note 2 and is having an odd issue with his gmail.

If he replies to an email from his phone the email goes through, however if he opens the email later on his computer at gmail.com the reply does not show in the conversation list. It does however show up in sent mail. He uses his phone for business use so not being able to see the whole conversation on the computer is a potential disaster waiting to happen.

Tried with multiple gmail accounts, seems to be something on the phone causing the issue not the account.

Ideas?
 
I just tried this ...change the setting in your gmail account on your computer under the "general" tab.
Scroll down to "conversation view"
check the box for "conversation view on".
Then save changes.


I tried it with and without the conversation view.

With it set to "off" my replies sent via my phone would end up in my "sent" box on the computer.
With it set to "on" my reply sent via my phone is still in my inbox on the computer.

Could that be it? :)

By the way, Welcome to the forums!!! :D
 
Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately it was already set to conversation view. It all works correctly if he replies from webmail. Only gets screwy when he replies with his phone.
