Can't setup Gmail account - "Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server "

Since upgrading to Yosemite I can't add one of my gmail accounts.
It's my business domain which is hosted with GMAIL. It worked before the upgrade. Now adding the email address in 'internet accounts setup' I get the message "Can't setup Gmail account - "Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server "
Mail will not let me setup an email account directly in mail either.
There seems to be major problems with mail in this update.
Also SMTP keeps failing.
Yosemite is a disaster.

Try this. I saw this solution elsewhere on the boards here.
When setting up a business gmail account, something other than @gmail.com, when you try to add the account in Mail preferences, don't select Google as the account type. Choose, "Other." Fill out the name, email and password as usual. Worked great for me after having similar issues trying to get my business gmail account to work in Yosemite.

Hello jerryay,
Thank you for providing all the information on the issue that you are having. This is help ensure that we don't duplicate any troubleshooting steps. I have a tool that I think will help us in the setup process. The name of this tool is called Captcha. It unlocks Gmail accounts so they can be properly setup on mobile devices. Here's a link to the tool.

Once you have followed the steps to unlock your Gmail account then retry on your device and let me know the results.

HT1918 how can i setup my account without a credit card

how can i setup my account without a credit card

Thanks SniperKat but I don't know why for some reason the "NONE" disappeared...
I started to create an account and when I saw the credit card thing I just clicked back and back and so I closed the browser... every free app or something free I get it appears a window : " You have to review some of your information about your account" .... but I don't have an account yet because I didn't create it.... the only solution is to create a new e-mail account and go to iTunes store and create a new account with the new e-mail and be very carefull with the "Free app" this time...

One account each, or one account for all of you to share?
Either way, follow the instructions here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Remember, if you share an iCloud account, you won't be able to maintain independent Contact lists, calendars, bookmarks etc. They will all be synced to all devices setup using the same account.

Enable IMAP in your Gmail account and then use the email app in your Nokia. Did that help?

Mail can't access gmail account since 2 step verification

I can't get Mail to accept my password ever since setting up 2 step verification on Google. I asks repeatedly for my password which doesn't work. I deleted and set up my gmail again, and the problem persists. Oddly, I can send an email to other accounts with my gmail account but can't recieve any in the account. I went to Google settings and made sure all the right check boxes were clicked. Ideas?

You do not have to turn off 2-step verification. The simple solution is to obtain an application-specific password that you will use once to apply for Mail. Use the helpful steps as posted here by Cheesesilk:
Steps for anyone else stuck:
1. Go to Apple icon  (top left of screen) > System Preferences > Mail, Contact & Calendars
2. Delete your current gmail account by selecting it and pressing the "-" button
3. Add a new Gmail Account by pressing the plus and selecting Gmail
4. Type in your account details but when you get to the password stage, generate a new application specific password from:https://accounts.google.com/b/0/IssuedAuthSubTokens#accesscodes
5. Type that new password in (you can copy paste it)
6. Hit Setup and it shoud be now syncing up your calendar and mail account again!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It works!

How do or can I switch gmail account to exchange?

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch. I updated to iOS5 this summer, but some programs/apps got very slow, but the biggest, consistent problem is the Calendar app. I'm thinking perhaps this could be related to email and gmail. So here are my questions about email settings.
I want to try switching my "gmail" account to "exchange." Is this a good idea, would it help with push capability and perhaps be better for calendar too? Will it conflict and be a problem to have 2 "exchange" accounts or will they cause problems with each other?
I have 2 email addresses / accounts that get email on my iPod. They are both @gmail.com addresses set as IMAP.
One is set as: "Gmail" with Mail, Calendars and Notes "ON." This account is my main account and in the last couple of months, my email no long "pushes" to the device (i.e. it won't show up in notifications center, or download at all until I go to the inbox screen). When you go to look at the settings of this "gmail" account there is no slide bar about mail folders to push, it's just not there.
The 2nd is set as "exchange" with "Mail" only turned on. (I read an article way back that said this is the way to have 2 email addresses that stay separate but can be checked on one device.) This email account does "push" new messages as there is a slider bar that has this option turned on.
So the questions are above and here to:
1. Can I switch a "gmail" account set up on iPod Touch to "exchange." If so, how do I do this? Will I lose all data (email, calendar, notes) and info currently downloaded to the device? Will it all come back if I make a change?
2. Will this work with the 2nd "exchange" gmail account? Will it keep the 2 email addresses separate with different inboxes and folders as they are in gmail? Will there be any conflict or corruption or funky problems having 2 "exchanges"?
3. Any sense of whether "exchange" is better for gmail calendar functionality too? I have a horrible time with the Calendar app simply not working, it freezes, it shows everything blank but when I quit and reload it sometimes comes back and all my data is there. I've downloaded other calendar apps (Week Calendar and CalenMod) and they also have problems so I feel it's got something to do with how the wifi sends info to the device.
Thanks!
iPod Touch 3rd generation, iOS 5.1.1. Syncs to MB Pro running OS 10.6.8.

Okay, thanks for the article and the heads up that exchange is going away soon. But that article is talking about setting up a "gmail" account in settings which is what I have already and push doesn't seem possible this way. Is there another or better option to have 2 separate email gmail accounts fetching and pushing data to one device?

Can not setup new account in Azure

I am trying to setup a Azure new subscription.
Log on through the website and try to enter my information but the site is asking for an US state and I live in Australia?? The only zip code is the US I know is 90210 but I would prefer to setup the account with my details. Can someone
point out where I can change the country settings to I and pick and Australian state?

Thanks for the reply Will
To give an update
In the end I called Microsoft Professional Support as I have a Tech Net subscription (yes seems over the top and a waste of a Professional call) and worked out that the problem is my Microsoft (live) account has mutable profiles AU-Personal,
AU-Business, US-Business. I was not getting this information from the normal MS support people.
http://commerce.microsoft.com/
When I tried and setup an account in Azure it's was using the US-business profile, not sure why my account has a US-business profile as I have always been based in Aus but that it the problem.
Microsoft are trying to fix this up as there are a number of people with similar issues when they have moved from one country to another and tried to use their existing account. Eg Xbox or windows phone
http://support.xbox.com/en-US/my-account/manage-account/change-region
So I will wait and see if they can fix my account.

Can't setup pop account and all mail deleted from server!!

Trying to set up a mail account as pop. But Mail is determined to set it as imap.
I've humoured it and gone through the process.
After clicking 'create account' it gives the message that it's downloading 500+ messages. Once it's finished, nothing is in the inbox.
To make matters worse, every single email has been deleted from the server. I do have a backup of my important emails but if this is something which is not isolated to me, then I feel sorry for anyone who does not have a backup.
So...
Is there a way to manually setup my account with settings of my choosing?
Or, is this just a case of Apple deciding whats best for me and resistance is futile?
Cheers

I'm not sure what Mail version you're using and you can't change an existing IMAP account to POP, but you can add a new pop account in Mail 6.0 in a round-about way.
When you're setting up the account it will only try it as IMAP, so in the first segment where it asks for the password, purposely enter the wrong password and click continue. An error message will result, then click continue again and you will see a new window with a pull-down menu to select POP. From there you can manually fill out the rest according to your server's settings. (Don't forget to put in the correct password this time.)
In your case, I'm not sure how your messages left your server, but if you have webmail for the account you can check the trash there. Also, you will have to delete the IMAP version of the email account before you can use the address for the new POP account setup.
Personally, I use IMAP on my iPhone and POP in Mail for a more manual control of my accounts, so I know how you feel. Hope this helps.

How can i setup multiple accounts

Can i setup accounts for my daughters and a guest on the airport extreme?,..this way they can use their own password to log into the wifi connection!

Thanks... I appreciate the reply. Since I wrote the previous email, I actually went and changed my apple id (the main id) and the documentation I looked at said iCloud will set mail up automatically(?)... I had it working before.
Also, I tried to manually set up the ID via the Mail Accounts screen(s) and I can't figure out what my server information is... Pop or Imap? What's the outgoing server and the incoming server?
I typically have never had problems setting up mail accounts (in apple mail) with no problem.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!

Why can't my Gmail account on Mail go online when I turn off SSL?

I need to turn off SSL for my avast! antimalware to scan my messages. This worked fine before, but just recently my Gmail account stopped going online whenever SSL is off.
