  • Why do some emails show up when I go to gmail directly, but not when I open Mail (which uses gmail as my only email account?

    Sometimes I don't receive a message in Mail (which uses gmail as my only email account) so I have to go to Gmail through Google to find it. This just started recently. Can this be fixed? 

    This is an IMAP account?
    DO you have rules set up on mac? If Mail is closed and not talking to gmail and you use your browser it will not have processeed all the rules, junk, spam, etc?

    Mountain Lion: on the Notification Center notification and Mail:
    how to limit notifications to an email account?
    At least, is it possible to choose what email account, the arrival of a message launch a notification.
    When running more than a dozen e-mail accounts, it may be appropriate to display only the notifications of one or two major accounts.

    Which os are you using?  Which Mail version are you using?

  • Must enter Mail password everytime I open mail App.

    Please, anyone. What's up with this?? Everytime I open the mail application, it ask me for my password before it will check mail. I searched the help pages and only came up with a potential link to the latest upgrade 10.4.8, but NO FIX!
    Does Apple know about the problem???
    Any help appreciated,
    Jeff

    Jeff,
    You appear to be saying the Incoming authentication and receipt of messages may be OK, you recognize that the request is related to the Outgoing -- is this correct?
    Let me first observe that Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced provides the points to choose authentication of Incoming servers.
    Secondly, let me ask if you are selecting the smtp.mac.com as Outgoing Server? If so, be aware that many ISP limit the relaying of third party SMTP on Port 25, so you should present the smtp.mac.com on Port 587, for best results, in most cases. I cannot yet tell if this is the situation you find yourself in, or not, but what SMTP are you using, and what Port have you assigned to it?
    See also:

    Although you are apparently not blocked, I think it could relate to the request for Password.

  • Everytime I open Firefox it asks me to download a new version and install new plugins.

    I do this and yet when I turn my computer on the next day, it asks me to do it again. Also clicking on Update the plug in produces a Adobe Security Bulletin webpage but it's just a black page. Also, everytime I sign in to Yahoo mail, it asks me to install the Yahoo Mozilla add-on, even though I've installed it everyday for the last few days. Thanks.

  • Weird glitch. Everytime I open Photos app, it instantly creates a new email

    Empty address bar and what isn't even the newest picture in the roll. I even deleted all instances of the picture it is using and it still does it. As soon as I open up Photos, I just tries to email that same picture everytime. It's annoying having to click cancel, then delete draft every-time. I checked my drafts folder too, empty. What's going on?

    SEEMS TO BE FIRST CASE OF THIS GLITCH, SOLUTION AT BOTTOM!
    I feel bad because I can never remember the names of the people I talk to at customer support but thank you to the very nice lady who helped me. (Rita?, Lisa? Linda? Sorry!)
    Anyways, she said it was the first case of this she had seen as well (chalk it up to early adoption) so she had to ask higher ups, not something I think anyone enjoys doing, and refused to have me take "just restore" as an answer.
    The suggestion of deleting the email account that was being used by the glitch to try sending the email, then re-adding, worked!
    Details: Gmail account that was added under microsoft exchange for push support.
    Had already deleted all instances of that picture on phone, then all instances on gmail and mobileme accounts by her suggestion, yet it was still popping up instantly when Photos launched. Still not sure where that was cached.
    Anyways, looks like this is the first case of this. I tried calling back to thank her, but apparently we had gone past closing time while on the phone (hope you got some overtime!)
    So if you ever read this, thanks from Javier @ 707,
    SOLUTION:
    Delete email account being used by the "glitch" when it tries to send the picture email, check to make sure it's fixed. Took a few tries for me but finally cleared up without reboot or anything. Then just re-add the email account.
    In this case it was a Gmail account but set up under Microsoft Exchange to use Push. I also had a mobileme account attached but not for email. So other accounts shouldn't matter if not being used for email. If you have multiple email accounts being used for email, just find out which email is being used to actually send it by letting it send the picture. Then delete accordingly. Re-add.

  • Mail 8.2 Sending Messages from Wrong Email Account

    This has been happening more often than not lately on the Mail 8.2 app. It's driving me crazy, and really messing up my business since I have a professional email (using Outlook) and a personal email (Gmail).
    Both email accounts are setup on my Mac Mail. What has been happening is that when I write an email with my professional email (Outlook) and hit send everything seems fine and it will send (like it should!). It shows up in my sent messages in the Mac Mail app under my Outlook account and everything, great!... Oh, but the thing is, it doesn't really send from my Outlook account.
    When I log into my Outlook account on my web browser, the email is not shown to have been sent. But, When I log into my Gmail account on the web... What?! There is the message in my Gmail sent folder! How??? It has my signature from my Outlook account and everything. To add to the strangeness, when I look at my Mail app on my iPhone, it says that the email was sent from my Gmail, and not my Outlook...
    So, Mail on my Mac says sent from intended email account (Outlook), but in reality it somehow gets magically sent from my personal Gmail account... and shows up on the webpages and my iPhone as sent form Gmail... This doesn't happen every time. Just when Mail feels like it I guess, HA!
    This is frustrating. Since it doesn't happen all the time, I never know if people are getting my emails, but I finally got the fluke to happen with a friend. Voila, in fact when this happens even though it's being sent in Mail though my Outlook account, my friend receives the email from my Gmail account with my Outlook signature...
    What is going on? Is anyone else having this issue?
    I need my personal and professional messages synced to my iPhone and Mac, or I would just say good riddance to the Mac Mail app.
    I will just have to start sending my professional messages form the Outlook webpage until this is fixed. This is really unprofessional Apple. I never had this issue prior to Yosemite.
    Hope this made since, it's the best I can make of it.
    Thanks!

    From the Mail menu bar, select
              Mail ▹ Preferences...
    The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
              Send new messages from:
    choose
              Account of selected mailbox
    Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
    If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
    In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
              Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
    If there's only one server in the menu, select
              Edit SMTP Server List...
    and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
    Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
              Card ▹ Make This My Card
    from the menu bar.

  • Mail is being sent using a deleted email account

    Hi - I am having problems with my iMac. I had my brother's email account loaded while I was helping him with some work. I then deleted the email account. Now my emails are going out showing that they come from his account (which isn't there) and not my email default account. Any ideas where the residual link is that I need to delete?

    From the Mail menu bar, select
              Window ▹ Connection Doctor
    Look for the disused SMTP (outgoing mail) account in the window that opens. Double-click it. Another window will open, showing a list of all the outgoing mail accounts. The unwanted one will be selected. Click the minus-sign button to delete it, then click OK.
    If there's more than one unwanted account, repeat.

  • Since update, my iPhone 3 and iPad give me a mail server error for one of my email accounts.  It says I have to correct mail settings, but I always use to get this email before.

    I receive a "cannot get mail" message when my iPhone and iPad try to retrieve one of my email accounts.  Since updating, it says to verify account information in mail settings.  I haven't changed information. 

    Rarely data and settings are corrupted during an update.  What happened when you verified the mail account settings as suggested?  Even if they appear OK, I suggest deleting and reinstalling the account.

  • Mail won't  work from  att.yahoo  email account in Northern California

    I am in the S.F. Bay Area and use ATT phone service (and broad band, I think or DSL, I am not sure) and I have a yahoo email address ([email protected]).
    To set up Mail I have tried all different combinations for Outgoing Server, something like SMPT:att.yahoo.com or something like that, I can't quite recall. Anyway, it would not send. What am I doing wrong ? I have also tried
    smpt: yahoo.com and many other combinations and no luck.
    I also have a Mac email address ([email protected]) and that is set for my incoming server. I was told by someone that all I need to do is to set my outgoing server to the phone-server that I have (which is ATT). Hope the question makes sense. I am computer novice. I hope you can reply with an answer that I can understand ! Many thanks .... Dr. Know Not All

    This is kinda what you need;
    I would try to setup a new account
    check this>
    account type POP
    description: pop account
    Email address: [email protected]
    full name: your name
    incoming mail server: pop.att.yahoo.com
    User name: (your name)@sbcglobal.net
    Password: whatever yours is
    Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): smpt.sbcglobal.yahoo.com
    Click on "Server settings" then
    Server port 25
    authentication: password
    user name: your user name
    password; your password
    This is the current setting for my Mail program.
    Att and sbc are one and the same.
    Yes it is DSL.
    good luck

  • Connecting my "mail" app on my mac to my email account on the net

    Hi, if you could help me I'd be very grateful!
    I have Mail on my mac - but for some reason whatever I do on it does not seem to affect my actual email account (with hotmail) so if I edit things or file it away it that will not happen on my hotmail account. My iphone is synced with my hotmail account and so if I do anything on that it affects and would be affected by my email account but not my mac version... when syncing my iphone I can sync it to the mail account on my computer that still leaves me with the problem of if I need to access my account on another computer I would have who knows how long backlog of emails unopened....
    So the question I really want answered is how do I sync my computer "mail" to my actual email account?
    Thanks!
    Tash

    Welcome to the Apple Community Tash.
    iCloud is only intended to sync iCloud email across your devices, it doesn't sync 3rd party accounts such as hotmail.
    Email is synced between devices because the account is an IMAP account, you might consider using your iCloud email address for mail instead if yo want it to sync, or...
    You might contact hotmail, they may be able to upgrade your address to an IMAP account, some providers can and some can't.
    Changing your known email address is always a pain to some extent, but it's a simple choice between missing out on the features you want or accepting the pain.
    If you are using a mail application as opposed to a browser based service, you should be able to move your archived mail folders quickly and easily. Many people you mail will use the reply feature and start using your new address without thinking and you can email everyone in your contact file your new address for those of your contacts that use their address book instead of the reply feature. You could send them your new vcard too to make the process simpler for them.
