Mail not coming in from Gmail

I know there are a zillion discussions dealing with Mavericks email and Gmail (which was all working fine before the upgrade!), but I would like to talk about one very specific show-stopper I am experiencing. That is - new email is often simply not appearing!
I can see the new email at Gmail via the web. I can see it in iOS 7 Mail on my iPhone 5 and iPad 2. I can see it if I use the Airmail application on my Mac. I can see it in the Gmail app on my Nexus 7.
But in Mavericks Mail the new mail is simply not appearing in my Inbox.
Right now I see new mail directly via the web in 3 accounts, but they aren't appearing in  Mavericks Mail.
Because of this I keep returning to Airmail (after all, a guy's gotta check his email), but that application also has its own eccentricities and bugs and until those are worked out I think I would prefer to work in plain old, sedate Mail.
But if new mail doesn't come in what can I do?
I don't have anything customized (like those old Tidbit articles saying to turn this or that Gmail folder on or off). Just standard settings.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Doug

Sue, I'm glad you tried this. I had been considering trying what you did, but after reading your note I finally decided to give up the ghost on Apple Mail. It just got severely broken with Gmail accounts in Mavericks. Mail was never what I would call "robust" to begin with. I hate those very long "database upgrades" when you upgrade your OS. And I've had it completely fail when attempting to restore once from Time Machine, and had to get my data retrieved from my CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) backup instead. So I feel pretty skeptical about Mail.app now.
I'm sure Applel is aware of it, which is why they released a "fixed" update of Mail. Unfortunately it didn't fix it.
In my case, I've switched to the Airmail mail client, available from the App Store for just $1.99. It has its own quirks, but it also has some really nice features that Mail doesn't have, and the developers seem to be more actively interested in upgrading it all the time.
I also tried Thunderbird, which is much improved over the last time I tried it years ago, and is worth looking at, and free. But I found it rather slow compared to Airmail.
My recommendation would be to try Airmail for now. You can also download their "beta" instead of the version from the App store. That is free, and keeps you on the leading edge of bug fixes.
Since it is IMAP, if you don't like it, you can always go back to Mail or another client if you find something better. But at least Airmail works with Gmail and your mail reliably comes in!

  • Not coming out from DB Tools Execute Query

    When I am removing my Ethernet connection and again connecting[for server client communication ], then sometimes the DB Tools Execute Query.vi function stucked inside and not coming outside from this function for infinite duration.
    How can I come out side this function when some network issue will come?
    When network connection is OK then that time there is no any problem, it actually occurs when network connection lost during the program ececution.

    It's hard to say what the problem is. One recomendation would be to drop usage of the database connectivity toolkit as it adds a lot of complexity and limits your options for troubleshooting problems. There is an alternative here. Read the discussion and download the drivers...
    Also, what kind of database are you connecting to?

  • Managed Server is Not coming UP from STARTING state

    Managed Server is Not coming UP from STARTING state

    Hi,
    Please try the following options:
    1) Apply -D_Offline_FileDataArchive=true
    The WebLogic Diagnostics Framework creates the diagnostic store (DAT) file which is used for different purposes. The initial size of the store file is about 1M.
    Here are the details of the parameter suggested: -D_Offline_FileDataArchive=true
    The above parameter is a (undocumented and unsupported) system property that disables WLDF indexing on the log file.
    Engineering has delivered an undocumented system property to disable the file archive indexing task (-D_Offline_FileDataArchive=true),
    This property will disable incremental as well as full indexing of WLDF archiving, if property is not properly applied, you can see a File Indexer timer kicks in for every 30 seconds.
    2) WLW page-flow event reporter may be creating several entries in the diagnostics store
    apply -Dcom.bea.wlw.netui.disableInstrumentation=true
    3) Disable JDBC profiling. (Under JDBC/datasource_name/diagnostics uncheck all the options there)
    If JDBC profiling is turned on, it inserts profiling data into the diagnostic store, which can cause it to grow.
    4) Disable Harvesting (change the value for Profile Harvest Frequency Seconds to zero)
    5) try setting the "synchronous-write-policy" parameter in the server configuration to "Cache-Flush". This bypasses the "direct I/O" code in the file store.
    Servers--->Configuration--->Services--->Default Store you can set the synchronous-write-policy to Cache-Flush
    Synchronous Write Policy:
    The disk write policy that determines how the file store writes data to disk.
    This policy also affects the JMS file store's performance, scalability, and reliability. The valid policy options are:
    * Direct-Write
    File store writes are written directly to disk. This policy is supported on Solaris, HP-UX, and Windows. On Windows systems, this option generally performs faster than the Cache-Flush option writes.
    * Disabled
    Transactions are complete as soon as their writes are cached in memory, instead of waiting for the writes to successfully reach the disk. This policy is the fastest, but the least reliable (that is, transactionally safe). It can be more than 100 times faster than the other policies, but power outages or operating system failures can cause lost and/or duplicate messages.
    * Cache-Flush
          Transactions cannot complete until all of their writes have been flushed down to disk. This policy is reliable and scales well as the number of simultaneous users increases.

  • HT4356 Why can I not print attachments from gmail on my ipad mini, it will print photos and anything from safari

    Why can I not print attachments from gmail on my ipad mini, it will print photos or anything from safari?

    For Gmail attachments, if they are PDF files (as well as many other formats) when you are viewing them on the iPad in Safari there is an option to "Open in iBooks" just below the tab you have open (at the top of the page).
    From iBooks you can print them to a wireless printer easily.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT4061 I am receiving return e-mails saying undeliverable mail was sent using my e-mail addy as the "from" addy. It is spam mail and some has been sent to U.S. military. It is not coming directly from my e-mail/ i-cloud account. How do I stop it?

    I am receiving returne postmaster e-mails saying e-mails were not deliverable, and some say they were blocked as being spam mail because they were sent to U.S. military addresses. The e-mails are coming from an outside source and are not being sent directly from my e-mail, but whoever is doing it is putty my address in as the sender. How do I stop this?

    at this point the best you could do would be to delete your email account, or ignore the emails

  • Mail timeout for emails from Gmail accounts

    This past week we've been getting complaints from clients that mail sent to us gets returned with a message saying it is unable to be delivered and will be retried. Eventually these emails arrive, sometimes 2, even 24 hours after being sent - not exactly the best advertisement for responsive customer service!
    The common factor seems to be that they are all from Gmail-hosted accounts. I see there have been other threads on this subject, such as <a href = "https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5029574?start=0&tstart=0">this post </a>, which may provide a clue. I'm running 10.5.8 Server 1.1, on a Quad G5, with spam and virus protection on, and tried turning it off to see if it helped. Inconclusive, but I got a lot of spam!
    My hunch is that Gmail is expecting a server response within a certain short timeframe and ours times out. But you can't take on city hall, and it's up to our server to provide a timely response to Google, which should be totally possible on a fairly fast machine on 100Mbps fibre, even from here in NZ.
    I'd appreciate any thoughts.

    I don't know whether this will help any of you having the problem with Gmail, but we were able to resolve our issue by deleting a bunch of emails in the inbox, around the date that the email stopped coming in. It seems there was a corrupted file in the inbox, throwing things of for Mail (though not the iphone, as mentioned above).
    How I got to the bottom of this was I set Entourage to receive emails from the att.net account. As happened in Mail, the emails stopped coming in around Feb 11, but we were able to send with no problem. Unlike Mail, however, Entourage provides an error code when it runs into a problem (in our case -16999, if I remember correctly). I searched on the code and found a discussion somewhere which named a corrupted file as the problem. It turned out to be our problem.
    So even if it's not the same problem, perhaps you could try setting up Entourage (if you have it) or another email program that supplies error codes, and hopefully this will give you a clue to investigate further. Good luck!

  • TS3899 Mail not getting messages from specific address

    I am consistently not receiving emails from a specific address in my Apple Mail inbox, but I have no filters enabled and the emails are not showing up in my spam and trash folders. If I follow directions for retrieving an email header in Gmail, I am able to see the email, but this doesn't correct the problem! This problem seems to have surfaced spontaneously. What is going on?

  • Mac Mail Not Picking up Current Gmail In Inbox

    I hope you can help me.  I am a brand new Mac user and am setting up my new iMac running Mavericks.  I added my gmail account successfully and wish to run it (as I did in Outlook) as a POP account (not IMAP).
    However when I first added the account, it only downloaded an odd group of old emails from 2011 into my new inbox rather than any of the current mail sitting clearly on the gmail server in my Gmail Inbox.  The old 2011 emails are not even in my Gmail inbox.
    Any ideas on what is causing this and how I can get my current inbox of Gmail to "deliver" to my new Apple Mail Gmail account box?
    Thanks!

    I'm not sure but do you need to change your E-Mail Preferences in your Gmail-Account to use POP.
    See here hope helps: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20041110192454841

  • Nokia Messaging not deleting emails from Gmail ser...

    When I access my gmail account via Nokia Messaging on my E72, any emails that I delete using my nokia are not deleted from my gmail account - instead they are being transferred to my All Mail folder, which is where I keep email that I have ARCHIVED, not email that I have deleted, so it's messed up my archived mail and also means that when I access my gmail via POP in Outlook, items that I have previously 'deleted' on my mobile have to be downloaded and sorted through again. Is there a way to change this behaviour? At the moment the gmail app is a better option.

    Unfortunately this didn't work for me (E75). I created an extra label. I also subscribed in imap to this folder. When I want to delete a message, I move it to this folder / label. Every now and then I delete all these mails from gmail on my PC.
    Suyogmh wrote:
    This is well known behavior of Gmail and not problem with Nokia Messaging as such.
    Gmail has different way of handling emails with labels instead of folders. So "All Mails" means all mails except Spam and Trash. Check following link for more details.
    http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en &answer=77657
    Check if following settings are in order in Gmail - settings - forwarding and POP/IMAP in web browser.
    Status: IMAP is enabled
    Auto-Expunge : Do not automatically expunge messages
    When a message is expunged from the last visible IMAP folder:  Immediately delete the message forever
    Folder Size Limits: Do not limit the number of messages in an IMAP folder
    Now head over to email.nokia.com and login with your username/pwd
    Under My Email Addresses, for your gmail account , click edit settings
    Now in "Mail folders to sync" Please ensure that you select "All Mail" , "Spam" and " Trash"
    You can also select other labels , max upto 10.
    Click Save changes and log out.
    Now in your Nokia Phone, Open Nokia Messaging and Sync again.
    Go to Gmail and these new labels should appear there.
    If you want to delete a message from all folders, move it to the [Gmail]/Trash folder.
    If you delete a message from [Gmail]/Spam or [Gmail]/Trash, it will be deleted permanently.
    So I know it's little extra effort but we can do it. I hope you find this useful.If yes, don't forget to give me Kudos 

  • Mail not Receiving Emails from Hotmail

    Dear all,
    I am using MacBook Pro, Intel Core i5, 4GB, OSX Yosemite 10.10.1 and my Mail Version is 8.1.
    I am trying to import mail from my Hotmail account but it is not working properly. I have setup Mail to Pop (pop3.live.com) , removing the messages from the server after receiving mail.
    However, after a few days using this configuration, there are still 39.000 messages left in the Hotmail server and the newest messages on my Mail software are dated on 25/09/2013, which means it is not getting messages from the Hotmail server as it should.
    What could be happening here?
    Thank you,

    Uninstall the hotmail account and install it again.
