Adding Gmail to Mail without setting up Contacts

hi everyone-
Is there a way to set up my gmail account in Mail without adding my gmail contacts?
I would like to start using Mail to access my Gmail account without adding my Gmail contacts. My gmail has 5,000 random contacts, and I don’t want to bring that mess on to my mac. I’m unable to uncheck contacts and calendar because it’s gray’d out. (see screenshot).
Using OS- 10.8.2

Gmail "send mail as" setting not working from iPhone

I added a second gmail account to Mail. This gmail account has the "send mail as" setting set to show a different "from" address than the actual gmail account, and works fine when I send mail from my desktop. When I send mail from that account through Mail on the iPhone, it does not pick up this setting and the actual gmail account appears as the "from" address. I don't see any place in Settings or Mail to set this, and I couldn't find previous discussions of it here. Any help? Thanks in advance.

Anyone?

I got this problem when I tried to configure out-going email and add an account to farm administrator group.
I configure out-going email according to this website http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288949.aspx
Here are the screen shots.
The SMTP server and email accounts work out OK when I use Outlook 2010 to test.
Anyone can help me about it? Thanks.

The e-mail address I have tested it for several times and there is no problem.
Anyone has any clue about this error?

Hi.
This I have seen before...
It can be that the SMTP relay server is configured to only allow certain IP ranges or addresses.
It can be that the firewall on the SP server does not allow for SMTP traffic (normally 25, for example for Exchange).
It can be that there is an Antivirus on the SP server(Client AV) that prohobits the Timer service to send email from this server. I have seen MacAfee do this. Needed an policy change.
If, its the builtin SMTP service you are using, check this link:
http://blog.sharepointrx.com/2010/11/18/setting-up-the-iis-smtp-server-for-sending-email-from-sharepoint-2010-on-server-2008-r2/
Check that and try again.

Cant add nor edit Contacts since added gmail account by google apps

Time ago I´ve used to have only 1 mail account set on my blackberry, a gmail account ([email protected]), and used the google sync (http://m.google.com/sync) to synchronize contacts between the smartphone and the webmail account. It has been working like a charm for a long time. At that time, I could create and edit contacts and the changes got synchronized in both sites.
A month ago I decided to create through Google Apps an email address with my own internet domain ([email protected]), and decided to add this email address to the smartphone to check both accounts. The first surprise came when I noted that adding this email address (following the procedure to add any email address) has caused the BB to activate it, like BES mode, against the gmail server.
Suddenly I discovered that I cant create nor edit contacts in BB, but I can in the webmail interface of the google apps email address. The contact created using the web interface is syncronized to the BB.
The issue is that I cant create nor edit contacts in the smartphone!
Have anyone experienced something similar to this?
Any idea will be greatly appreciated
Ariel

HT204053 how do i set up different devices on the same apple Id without merging the contacts from the separate phones

can i set up multiple iphones on the cloud without merging all contacts?

Not if they are all syncing contacts with the shared account. You could allow them to merge, then create separate groups for each person's contacts on icloud.com. Then each person can adjust their settings to only show the group that their contacts belong to and hide the rest.
Another option is to keep the devices on the same shared primary account, and add different secondary account to each person's devices by going to Setings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and enter a separate ID. Then each person can turn on contacts syncing in their secondary account and leave contacts syncing turned off in the shared primary account (in Settings>iCloud).

Can I sync my Outlook 2010 contacts to my IPhone without overwriting the contacts already on my phone? I sync my mail to exchange

I have an IPhone that syncs to my Outlook 2010 via Exchange. The email and calendar syncs automatically. I would like to sync my contacts but currently have that setting turned to "off" because I want to add my Outlook contacts but not lose my contacts on my phone. If I sync the contacts will it just add the new ones and not overwrite the existing contacts on my phone?

I do not follow what you're trying to do.
The device is already syncing contacts from an Exchange account? Or you want to be able to sync contacts from an exchange account without deleting the contacts already on the device?
Adding a new account to sync contacts does not affect the contacts already on the device.

Hi, did you set it up as POP or IMAP?
It's normal that all eMail on the server will download to the computer you setup a new account on.

How do you set up Mail without a mobile me account?

I am trying to set up my sister's new Macbook so she can send and receive mail.
She does not have a mobile me or .mac account.
She had been using an older powerbook, using Safari and a yahoo account.
Now, with this new Macbook in Snow Leopard, I want her to be able to use Mail but am unable figure out what settings to use.
Her ISP is something called HEMC. On the older machine, in Entourage, the account name looked like this: username@hemc(POP). Though she did not actually use Entoourage, she used web mail (Safari or Firefox and her Yahoo account.
For incoming mail server I have tried mail.yahoo.com; and pop3.yahoo. com; and mail.hemc.com
None of these work.
For outgoing I have tried all sorts of variations of smtp. Smtp.yahoo.com; smtp.hemc.com;
Meanwhile, if I use Safari and log in to her mail account there, all is working.
I ran into this before trying to help someone else. This is a snap if you have a mobile me account. But not if you don't.

Yahoo! Mail Settings
Yahoo Mail offers standard POP3 access for receiving emails incoming through your Yahoo mailbox, by using your favorite email client software. To setup your email client for working with your Yahoo account, you need to select the POP3 protocol and use the following mail server settings:
Yahoo Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.mail.yahoo.com (port 110)
Yahoo Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - smtp.mail.yahoo.com (port 25)
POP Yahoo! Mail Plus email server settings
Yahoo Plus Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 995)
Yahoo Plus Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 465, use authentication)
Google GMail Settings
The Google GMail service offers email client access for retrieving and sending emails through your Gmail account. However, for security reasons, GMail uses POP3 over an SSL connection, so make sure your email client supports encrypted SSL connections.
Google Gmail Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.gmail.com (SSL enabled, port 995)
Outgoing Mail Server - use the SMTP mail server address provided by your local ISP or smtp.gmail.com (SSL enabled, port 465)

I can't send emails via mail. I can receive but not send. I have set up gmail on mail. Any ideas? No problems with the set up previously to this.

Go to Mail Preferences- Accounts and confirm you are providing Gmail what they require to send and receive mail. And DON'T specify Secure Socket Layer. Some mail accts don't like SSL
Good Luck to you.

On your iPhone you need to change your password in 2 places:
- Incoming Mail Server and
- Outgoing Mail Server
To get to the password entry for the Outgoing Mail Server you have to tap on cell smtp.live.com and again on the second view.

Why has my iPad downloaded over 7000 spam messages into a folder called gmail/all mail? I have not set up a gmail account on my iPad

Why has my iPad downloaded over 7000 spam messages into a folder called gmail/all mail? I have not set up a gmail account on my iPad

No you will not have to set up the iPad all over again. Resetting the iPad is like rebooting your computer. You will lose no apps, data, settings .... Nothing at all. I like to use the expression that it's like "clearing out the cobwebs" on the iPad's memory.
The reason I am suggesting this is that there are some other sort of bizarre issues that occur in the mail app and the reset seems to clear up those issues. So I think it is worth a try.
On the other hand, if you have restored the iPad to factory settings, I don't know that it will help. If nothing else works, try going to your web mail using a browser and see if you can't deal with this in there.
