Anyone else using Gmail (IMAP) with Apple Mail having this problem?

I've been noticing the last couple months that whenever a new incoming message arrives from an ongoing thread/conversation in my Apple Mail client, it makes all prior emails in the same thread show up again as "unread", instead of just showing the latest message as unread. This means I tediously have to go and mark all prior messages in the thread as "read" again each time. When I log into gmail where the mail is hosted (as an IMAP account), the thread in question is hi-lighted to indicate a new unread message (including the email count for the number of messages in that thread), yet it seems only the most recent email is shown as unread. Somehow it seems Apple Mail is interpreting this message count in the Gmail thread as all being unread messages again each time.
Any settings I need to change or is this a bug that Gmail or Apple has?

racb,
First check your on-line Gmail to see if the mail is sent / received. -
Sometimes Gmail will not send to itself or goes into the spam folder.
It also could be a corrupt preference file.
First save the mail in your inbox – in a new mailbox on your Mac.
Close mail.
Go to Home folder (the house) - Library folder- Preferences folder –
Look for - com.apple.mail.plist
Drag it into a new folder on your desktop – just incase you might need it latter.
You will need to go back into mail and recreate you Preferences/accounts again.

Gmail account IMAPed with Apple Mail. Apple Mail Inbox now empty! Where would the messages go?!?

I just synced up (IMAP) my Gmail account with Apple Mail. My apple mail inbox is now empty! Where would the messages go?!?

There is a better forum for issues with iCloud.
Apple has a couple tech note articles to help with email, and with gmail as well.
Try there.
This is just WORKSTATION forum.

Is Apple Mail having a problem ?

Is Apple Mail having a problem ? I can't send or receive Mail on my iMac.

Apple "Mail" is an App on your computer. We would not know if your "Mail" app is having a problem. Your Profile above says you are using OS X 10.4.10 :Is that accurate? If not, could you please update it so we can help you correctly. If you are really running 10.8, and are referring to iCloud's mail service, the problem is most likely in your settings in "Mail">Preferences>Accounts. That has to be correctly configured to send and recieve thru iCloud.

Use of SSL with Apple Mail 3.4 on FIOS

I can use SSL with email to and from comcast.net, me.com. and gmail.com, but not to and from verizon.net, using FIOS. I have been using FIOS since August on my Mac PPC G5 and OS 10.5.7. Of the threads I have checked, the consensus seems to be that SSL will not work with Apple Mail. However, when I log in via my browsers, the connection is secured via SSL. Anybody out there know if one can use SSL with Apple Mail via verizon's servers? If so, what are the port settings?

Sad, but true.

Comon Verizon, other ISPs have had e-mail over SSL for years. Please, get with the program.

Gmail settings with Apple Mail

Hello,
I have some problems in configuring the Gmail settings for Apple Mail.
Following the instructions on the Google site, under Settings->Mailbox rules I have first of all unchecked everything apart form junk. Please check the enclosed image where I show my Google mailbox settings (sorry it is in Italian but the order is the same as in the English version).
Please find below the folders view of my Apple mail following above configuration. As you can see, there are two trash folders, one on the Mac and one IMAP. But when I delete one message, it does not move in either two and it does remain on "all mail" folder.
I simply would like to make deleted messages move into a trash folder that I can empty when I need, in order to get rid of them.
Can anyone please advise, how to properly set Mail? Than you so much, daniele

I did try it recently and it worked for me. Did you type “recent:” in the User Name field or in the Email Address field? It should be in the User Name, which is what is used for logging in. The Email Address is used only to determine what should appear in the From header of messages sent from that account and is irrelevant otherwise...

Disappearing GMail messages with Apple Mail for iPad

I'm using Mail for iPad to access my GMail account. When I organize messages into different folders using Mail, I often find that some of those messages simply disappear, unless I search for them. This happens regardless of when they were sent (they're not older messages cached on the server).
As an example, a message I received Sunday was placed in a folder. When scrolling back through that folder, the message does *not* appear anywhere, not between the Monday and Saturday messages. However, if I search for that sender, the message *does* appear and says it was received on Sunday, as it was.
I wish I understood why this is happening, as it doesn't seem to make much sense. Thanks for any help!

I have each device to leave message on the server. We have it set up this way so that my wife and I can see all the mail that comes into our own devices. Then we can delete off each device as desired. I go in to the server once a month and delete old mail.
So to recap: My wife's macpro uses apple mail. it retrieves the mail from the server; but leaves it on the server. However, though the email is still on the server, the other devices cannot retrieve the email. it is like the email is old email that your device has already uploaded; but it hasn't uploaded to the other devices because my wife's mac opens the inbox on server first.
I know that this sounds confusing. it did not always work this way. for a long time any of our devices could open the inbox on the server, retrieve the messages and leave the email on the server inbox for the other devices. this issue is new.

Pop gmail issues with apple mail

I have one pop gmail account for two macs and two iphones. Normally we can retrieve email from each device. however, when my wife's macbook pro retrieves the messages using apple mail, the messages remain on the server but none of the other devices can retreive the same mail. My gmail is set up for pop. So the messages stay on the server until i personally remove them.
why can't our other apple devices retrieve the email that is still on the server after my wife's macbook pro accesses the server and retrieves the email?
thanks for your help.

Gmail IMAP through Apple Mail 6.0

I have been using POP for several years, have decided to use IMAP as it's supposed to give you much more flexability with use va gmail.com or mail.app
In order to switch over, I had to create a new IMAP acct, and delete the POP acct.
Everything worked fine, except, I would actually like to have "ALL Mail" load into my acct's inbox. It does show up under the Gmail tab on bottom.
Anyone iron this minor issue out?
Thanks!

The Inbox in Mail.app automatically reflects the inbox of the IMAP account to which it is connected. You need to get all the messages into Gmail's actual Inbox. If you visit gmail.com in a browser, you can go into "All Mail", select all the messages, and click "Move to Inbox".

IPhone 4 with Apple Headphones having volume problems/speaker

I'm already on my second iPhone 4 showing the same problem. When using the Apple headphones, the volume randomly stops working. The controls go up and down but the sound remains at the same level. Sometimes there is no sound, and sometimes the speaker won't work either. The only thing that will make it work properly is turning the phone off and on again, sometimes a hard reset. This happens while listening to the iPod (in both airplane mode on or off), and on calls.
I'm already running 4.0.1, and since it's the second device this is happening to, I'm wondering if it's a software problem or am I just unlucky twice and need to exchange the device again.
Thanks!!

I listen to my iPhone 4 a lot while bike riding. About two or three weeks ago, the operations of the headphones became erratic. They were new headphones that came with the iPhone 4. I took the headphones back to the Apple store and they replaced them. Yesterday the same problem occurred again. You are correct that turning the phone off and on seems to correct the problem - at least temporarily. The problem does return. I think that there must be some kind of electrical short in the headphones themselves that causes the phone to behave erratically. The buttons on the headphones cease to work almost randomly. Another factor which I think supports the electrical short theory is that once I restart the phone the problem may reappear when I turn my head.
I guess I'm heading back to the Apple store.

Problems with Apple Mail and Gmail

Hiya
I'm keen to integrate my Gmail Account with Apple Mail via POP3, however having followed the instructions given by Google - it doesn't seem to work correctly?
I would appreciate if someone would kindly help me. I look forward to hearing from someone.
Many thanks,

Hi,
I want to setup gmail as the default email.I've tried almost everything..google notifier, don't like to have gmail inbox in my mac apps inbox ( I could do that successfuly ).I hate it actually that I have to use entourage to send photos first to my gmail and then forward to friends.There is nothing wrong with mac mail or entourage but I just love my gmail...help please!
Apple needs to fix two things to make their mail more popular ( infact the features are great especially with new iLife'08 ) : one , mac mail should be free like all major email services ( I'll be happy with 4GB free space rather than 10GB which they are offering now with subscription ) and second they should create userfriendly environment to use any email ids as default.
Thx

Anyone using gmail imap and and Apple Mail?

Can you tell me if, when you use Apple mail for imap gmail access, what address source does it use?
Does the imap pull up the address auto complete of gmail or does it rely on your address book on your mac (or both)?

I'm using Google IMAP with Mail and it uses the addresses I've got in my Mac's Address Book. Can't tell you if you can also use addresses from Gmail but I'd be inclined to think you could. Joe Kissell provides an excellent, if lengthy, explanation of how to get Mail and Gmail to work together here: http://db.tidbits.com/article/10253

Gmail IMAP account stopped working with Apple Mail

I have Leopard with 10.5.5, just updated it a few days ago.
I have used my gmail account for a few years with Apple mail with no real problems, but now today, I got errors about an invalid certificate, and a little exclimation point by my gmail inbox. I have an iPhone and another Mac that I was syncing all this to so I don't know something with one of those screwed it up, so I have removed all gmail accounts from everything and I'm just trying to set it back up on my main laptop, but i get an error when setting up the new IMAP account. Now it says logging into the IMAP server has failed and to check my username and password... I am following the instructions from the gmail site really close, and I've even reset my gmail password.
anybody know why it still isn't working?

Hmm, turns out my iMac Apple Mail has been resetting the Mailbox activity settings for some random reason which would explain the drafts problem. Wonder why?

Anyone else using Gmail (IMAP) with Apple Mail having this problem?
