  • Deleting Gmail from Mail.

    I read somewhere that there's a way to delete your gmail from Mail. Is this true? And if so, how would I do this?
    Thanks

    Since you access a Gmail account as a POP type account with an email client such as the Mail.app, the Mail.app includes a setting for removing messages form the server when downloaded as with other email clients for POP type accounts.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Advanced tab for the account preferences, select "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message:" and the choices below are:
    Right away
    After one day
    After one week
    After one month
    When moved from Inbox.
    In addition, select the button with a gear icon at the bottom of the mailboxes drawer and at the bottom of the menu window that appears, select Get Info.
    Select your Gmail account via the Account selection and under the Messages on Server tab will display all messages available on the server in the account's Inbox mailbox and you can remove selected messages from the server.

  • Removing gmail from mail

    i want to remove my gmail account from mail but it doesn't even appear as an account in my settings or in mail preferences.  any ideas?

    nada in other folders.  i can't remember what the difference is between pop or imap but i originally added the account to mail on a 2006 imac that has since been stolen.  when it was stolen, i was making changes to passwords, etc. when it occured to me that i didn't want gmail being checked any more.  i first tried to eliminate the account from my phone but it wasn't there.  i forgot about it for a while until a few days ago when i was setting up my new imac for icloud.  icloud is working cherry but its the only account showing up in preferences yet my gmail emails are still appearing in mail. connection doctor only shows a connection to icloud.

  • Cant send gmail from Mail

    hi
    sorry for the rather basic question. i can receive but cannot send messages, using gmail, in Mail. my outgoing server was stmp.gmail.com, then i looked up the question in these forums and someone said they could not send with stmp.gmail.com but could with stmp.googlemail.com, so i did that and it worked, but just once. now it doesnt work again. i have it on port 465, because that's how myThunderbird has it setup and it works on there. can anybody tell me what im doing wrong? thanks.

    Log on to the GMail webmail, click Settings, then Forwarding and POP/IMAP. At the bottom, click Configuration Instructions. On the next page, click Apple Mail 3 (Leopard). The correct settings are given there.

  • Sending GMAIL from Mail.app generates multiple items in Trash

    I just recently began using Mail.app for my Gmail and I’ve got a problem. I noticed that when I draft a short Gmail and send it out, I get multiple copies of the e-mail in Trash. But each copy there contains only a few words from the original. For example, the first copy may contain only the first three words of the original. Subsequent copies in Trash display the remainder of the original. I sent out a 20 word e-mail and it was broken down into 10 different entries in Trash. Anyone else have the same problem?

    jackgm,
    I have to Gmail accounts; a free account, and a university Google Apps (.edu) account. Both accounts behave exactly the same on three different Macs.
    The bottom line is it's a pretty well known issue with Apple Mail and Gmail. The easiest solution is to turn off "Save Drafts on Server".
    It's a minor annoyance but hardly a major issue. For a long while, if you mapped Sent in Mail.app to the Sent Items folder in Gmail, you'd get duplicate copies of all your sent e-mails--Apple has since fixed this (thankfully).

  • Cannot send or receive yahoo mail or gmail from iPhone . installed ios 6 recently. tried rebooting the phone and deleting the email account and adding again but nothing works ! can someone suggest a solution?

    cannot send or receive yahoo mail or gmail from iPhone . installed ios 6 recently. tried rebooting the phone and deleting the email account and adding again but nothing works ! can someone suggest a solution?

    Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
    Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password.  On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
    See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
    Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

  • How to download the "Sent Mail" folder from Gmail to Mail 4.1?

    Since updating to Snow Leopard I no longer have any mail in my Sent Mail folder
    when using IMAP in Mail 4.1. In fact just a few (258) of all my sent messages (3732)
    were properly downloaded.
    I noticed that after configuring my Gmail to work with Mail/IMAP some new folders were
    created. They are: [Gmail]/Sent Mail/Sent, [Imap]/Drafts, Sent messages, and Deleted Messages. Apart
    from those, my Gmail account has always had standard folders such as Inbox, Sent Mail (the majority of my sent messages are in here), Drafts, Spam, and Trash. Apparently Mail is only downloading the messages from the new "Sent messages" folder and not the standard "Sent Mail", wherein all my sent messages actually are.
    Another issue it that the spinning gear next to the Gmail Inbox in Mail 4.1 keeps spinning incessantly as if checking for new messages all the time even though it is set to check for new messages every 5 minutes and all messages has been downloaded. I have another IMAP account for my university's email which is working perfectly (neither problems with Sent Mail folder nor spinning gear). I will post the spinning gear problem in a separate question.
    In my old MacBook I didn't have this problem when using Gmail with POP. This is the first time I'm using IMAP.
    Is anybody having the same problems?
    I appreciate your help in advance.

    you can change Your Sent mailbox to "Sent Mail". select Sent Mail mailbox, go to mailbox menu->use this mailbox for->sent.

  • Both inbox and outbox from Gmail ends up in my gmail/pop/mail inbox

    Both inbox and outbox from Gmail ends up in my gmail/pop/mail inbox; how to resolve?
    - So: the mail I send via gmail comes also in my inbox of mail in which I use the gmail pop account.
    Please help!

    This is a Gmail issue. Gmail POP access doesn’t work like a normal POP mail server would. Here are some of its idiosyncrasies:
    1. Messages downloaded by any conventional POP mail client are marked as downloaded at the server (but not as read on the web), and no longer available to either the same or any other POP mail client.
    2. To make already downloaded messages available for POP access again, you must go to Gmail’s Settings > Forwarding and POP page, select Enable POP for all mail, and click Save Changes, which causes everything (and I mean everything) still on the server to be downloaded again.
    3. The Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings have absolutely no effect on the messages stored on Gmail’s server. Gmail ignores any requests to delete messages from the server made by a POP client. What happens to the messages on the server after a POP client has downloaded them is determined by Gmail’s Settings > Forwarding and POP > When messages are accessed with POP setting alone. In the case of Gmail (and only in that case), I recommend turning OFF Remove copy from server in Mail, so that Mail doesn’t even try to remove any messages from the server, regardless of whether you do actually want already downloaded messages to be removed from the server after some time or not.
    4. Messages sent using the web interface will be downloaded by your POP mail client as if they were received messages. Although this may seem weird, it's good because it allows archiving all messages locally in Mail, regardless of how they were sent — as long as you don't access the same Gmail account with more than one POP mail client, that is. You can set up a rule in Mail to automatically route those messages to the appropriate Sent mailbox (or to any other mailbox for that matter) if that's what you want.
    5. Messages sent using a POP/SMTP mail client such as Mail are also treated as if they were incoming messages for POP purposes, just as in #4. What prevents them from being downloaded is that Gmail marks them as already downloaded immediately. Since they’re on the server nonetheless, already sent messages would be downloaded together with all the other messages on the server if proceeding as described in #2.
    6. A particular case of #5 are messages sent to yourself. Instead of putting a copy of the sent message in the server’s Inbox and making it available for download, both the sent and the “received” message on the server are actually one and the same, and hence, cannot be downloaded via POP for the reason explained in #5.
    7. Gmail allows POP accounts to be set up in a special way that avoids some of these issues while introducing others. If you only need POP access to the last 30 days of mail, you can configure Mail in “recent mode”, as described in How should I use POP on mobile or multiple devices?, i.e. by typing “recent:” (including the colon but not the quotes) at the beginning of the User Name field (not in the Email Address field) in Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information. Configuring the account this way would allow Mail to download messages marked by Gmail as already downloaded (and download messages sent to yourself in particular), but it would also cause all sent messages (not just messages sent to yourself or through webmail) to be downloaded as if they were received messages.

    How can I transfer e-mails from Mail in Mac to Outlook in a PC that is in a different city?

    If all those emails are still on the Google Gmail system, IE they show when you log on to Gmail withb a web browser, then all you have to do is setup IMAP in Outlook and all of them will be downloaded to Outlook in the folder structure that appears on Gmail.

  • Calendar information other than iCloud is not showing in Notification center from Mails such as Gmail, Exchange, Yahoo

    Hi,
    After iOS 6 update on iPhone 4S I'm unable to see any information on Notification Center regarding any calendar information from mail boxes such as Gmail, Yahoo, Exchange server etc. But, calendar information is available only from iCloud mail box.
    Please help me to get the calendar information in Notification center from mail boxes other than iCloud too.
    Regards,
    Srini

    Read thier own support document on the subject then
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1795
    This document was written as an answer to all those who complained about it as paying MobileMe users
    They ignored us then and when MobileMe became iCloud they ignored us again, and just carried on with a system that will not update the e-mail read status across all devices
    That's how it works,   and like you 1000's of loyal Apple users cant believe it either but there you go

  • Gmail will not send emails from mail

    On my Gmail account I am unable to send emails from mail on my iMac. I have OS X 10.9.1
    I have tried several times turning on and off 2 - step verification.
    I have also entered the generated password in the SMTP server as well.
    Message says: SMTP-server.gmail....  Could not connect
    When I edit SMTP server list how do I fill that in.
    ie Description, server name TLS Certificate.

    Does this mail ID supports either POP or IMAP protcol? Report this issue to your carrier they will raise a ticket to RIM for resolving the issue.

  • HT1277 I can't seem to get gmail from my apple mail account. I have removed the account and added it, but it says I have the wrong password. I close gmail and get in just fine. What's up?

    I can't seem to get gmail from my apple mail account. I have removed the account and added it, but it says I have the wrong password. I close gmail and get in just fine. What's up?

    I meant that I sign out, sign back in ok. Ergo, I know my password. Someone here on the support page  (you?) told me the culprit is the 2 step verification process which I had on. That makes a lot of sense as Apple mail won't get a code thereby jamming up the process. I could not even start a new account until I took that 2 step process off. Everything fine now thank you.
