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 Pop and Apple Mail 4.2: Doesn't Download all New Mail at Once

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone encountered this issue. I currently use GMAIL and am popping my mail onto my Mac Mail 4.2. Everything seems to be working fine except that when I download new mail, it downloads it in small chunks. It doesn't grab all the new mail all at once.
So for example: I check GMAIL web and I know I have 10 new mail messages.
When I click "Get Mail" in the Mail app, I get 3 new messages. I click on "Get Mail" again, and then it gets 4 new messages. And then I do it again, and then it gets the final 3 messages.
Is there a reason why it does this? Is this a GMAIL config or Apple mail config issue?
Thanks

First of all, confirm that you have set the Gmail account up as POP -- the default in Mail 4 when newly setting one up is IMAP, but POP setup can be accomplished. If the account was the result of earlier version, and merely now the result of an Upgrade Snow Leopard, then previous setup as POP should have carried over. Open Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information to confirm Account Type.
Then via browser access to your Gmail POP/IMAP settings, confirm that the appropriate Enable selections have been made.

IMAP and Apple Mail - not working properly

Hi all,
I am using Apple Mail and want to use my GMX account with IMAP and are facing 2 issues:
(1)
While all changes I make directly at www.gmx.ch are being made in Apple Mail on my MacBook Pro, the changes I make in Apple Mail (like moving mails to subfolders, deleting mails, etc.) are not reflected on the GMX server.
(2)
Sent emails are often put in the Drafts folder AND Sent folder. They are sent, but still appear in the draft folder as they were not sent.
Any idea how to solve these issues?
Thanks a lot & best regards!

You aren't giving us all the relevant information, are you? I bet you access your Gmail account from more than one computer, don't you?

Multiple gmail accounts and apple mail problems

I have upgraded to Lion, I have upgraded MobilMe to iCloud. I have multiple email accounts, including Google Apps and Gmail accounts. I now cannot get my regualr Gmail account to work in Apple Mail. I always get wrong username or password error. Anybody got any ideas?

Yea, I am having email problems across the board. I have Yahoo +, Gmail, Apple mail, corp email, and I use a lot of apple products, iPhone, iPad, MacBook Air, Time Capsules, Airport Extremes, Apple TV's and all in multiple locations. PLUS I travel a ton. Not to meantion I have to use a Blackberry solely because of BBM. So, the last couple of weeks have been interesting. My Yahoo Mail + account deleted all my contacts a few months back and has never been the same. I didn't, Yahoo did and then had the nerve to say 'sorry, you should have backed up'. So much for trusting the cloud. Now, Google and Apple seem to be having issues now after updating my MobileMe account to iCloud and YES, I have multiple Apple ID's and so you know what a mess that is. I could not be the only one with such a broad array of products and now having such problems. What a mess? I went to the 'cloud' 8 years ago after traveling in China a lot and getting tired of giving all my 'info' to the Chinese. So, I wipe before I go and wipe when I get back. Clould email seemed like a good bet but now............. ****, almost makes me want to re-activate my Hotmail account and see if it works now!!!! Never. I live in Brasil now most of the time so maybe I should just relax and go to the beach.......but I have to go to NYC, then Europe, then back to the Mid-East next week......Starting to think about going back to good old snail mail.....;)

Using Gmail Domain Name Within Apple Mail??

I REALLY need your help. What am I doing wrong?
I want to be able to send mail "From" [email protected] vs [email protected]
I've redirected my [email protected] to my gmail account.
The problem is when I set up Apple Mail with my Gmail information, I can't send "From" [email protected]
I have already changed my "settings" in google & added an account making [email protected] the default. Also the always reply from default address is checked on.
What am I doing wrong or is this even possible?
Thanks

What you are asking for is not possible, as directly as you are trying to do, but you can achieve the same results you seek with the tools you have.
You can easily separate the two email accounts and use them separately on your iPhone. I currently have about 25-30 separate email accounts configured on my iPhone and each one receives its own mail, and sends out its own replies.
The second option I can think of wold be for you to setup the separate account as mentioned above, but to continue to forward the email to your GMail account. When you reply and want the message to come from your domain account, just tap the "From:" line and select your domain's account and send the reply from there. Yeah, it will go out using your hosts server, but it will allow you to send from a different account than received the email.
One more thing that might work for you is to use Google Apps. I help administer a domain for a local group, and they use Google Apps (standard) which is free, and it has their domain essentially hosted by Google. When I receive mail, it comes in to my [email protected], and I send out from my [email protected], even though it uses the GMail servers. I just have to login to the mail server using my full credentials for both sending & receiving. This would require you to use Google for managing your domain, and would still require you to have 2 separate email accounts like the second option above, but they both have their own login accounts on the GMail servers and the Google servers handle all the traffic.
Of these options, the last seems to be the best fit, as you no longer need to forward all your email to a GMail account to access it, it is hosted by Google for you, and you just use their servers for your domain email. If you really want to have a GMail account that does nothing by masquerade as your account at your domain, then the second option seems to be a closer fit, but it requires you to do a little more work to manage the masquerading you desire.

TS3276 20GB gmail IMAP account in Apple Mail 4.5 is very slow

I have several users with large Gmail IMAP accounts (10GB - 20GB). these accounts work fine from web browser, but one user (87% of 25GB gmail account) experiences frequent slow downs and delays both sending, receiving and worse filing mail in Apple Mail 4.5
I assume this was to do with volume of mail, but other users are fine. I have repared permissions and rebuilt the index, which has made no difference, any ideas what could be causing this?
All users are running recent Imacs with snow leopard sufficient disk space and memory.

Hi, I am striking out in getting to the bottom of this issue and need advice.
I have a macbook (08) running mail 3.6 and have no problem w/ my gmail/aol/att accounts.. but with my wifes new macbook 10.6.4 (4.3 mail) Gmail constantly reloads all mail I delete and I can not receive any new emails. Mail is setting up automatically as IMAP settings even though I have my other email as POP and have no issues. I can not find any help via Apple and searching the internet seems just as bad. I have also tried ports 465 / 993 / 995 none seem to work. I have tried the unlock method as well. I will have to try this auto setup to POP as I can't get IMAP to work.. but it seems like I have tried almost everything! I have seen your responses in a number of areas to this issue but thought I could ask directly. Please help.

IMAP, Gmail and Apple Mail in Leopard

Has anyone got Gmail IMAP to work properly in Apple Mail in Leopard?
Although IMAP is still being rolled out, it's arrived on my 'spare' Gmail account so I tried it out in Mail on Leopard - with very mixed results.
I followed the official Gmail instructions here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77663&topic=12761
then looked here: http://5thirtyone.com/archives/862
for some additional help.
It does sort of work, but Messages don't usually appear in the InBox and setting Gmail folders to be for sent mail, deleted etc as per the second link doesn't seem to work that well.
Anyone had a good experience with this? Got any tips?
Thanks

I am using it. It is working pretty well. You do have to set up your account manually. Note the following recommendations from Google:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78892
I have a post detailing my setup here:
http://pt.withy.org/ptalk/archives/2007/11/gmailimap_on_myiphone.html
The one problem I am having with Leopard Mail is that despite setting my account to not move deleted messages to the trash, and having Show Deleted Messages enabled per:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/9911.html
When I delete a message it disappears from my InBox immediately, and there is no Undo Delete Message action available (as there used to be in Tiger Mail). The message is still available in my All Mail folder under [GMail], but I sorely miss the ability to quickly un-delete a mail message... Hope this will be fixed in 10.5.1!

Assuming this is an iCloud mail account, sign out of iCloud in its preference pane, then sign back in with the new password.

Changed email from pop to imap in entourage 2008 and apple mail and have lost a lot of messages

Changed email from pop to imap in entourage 2008 and apple mail and have lost a lot of messages. I am a rookie and don't know what to do to correct the situation

I found this great set of mail AppleScripts:
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
It includes one script to delete duplicate messages. So if we can't find a way to do this right, then I'll just download all the duplicates then delete them. Of course I don't want to actually do that, lets call this the nuclear option.
So can anyone think of a way to make an IMAP account for my gmail without it downloading all the messages again that I have already downloaded?

Squirrelmail, IMAP folders, and Apple Mail

Squirrelmail as included with Mac OS X Server lets you remotely access your Inbox via a web-browser. It also automatically creates sub-folders to store drafts, sent, and trashed emails as done during a Squirrelmail session.
These have a folder structure like this
Inbox
...Drafts
...Sent
...Trash
When you look at this in Apple mail you will see a triangle next to your Inbox and turning it down reveals the same sub-folders.
The purpose of this posting, is that I believe this structure is not the same as the default Apple Mail structure and as such Apple Mail and Squirrelmail will not automatically be using the same IMAP folders to store drafts, sent and trash.
It is possible in Apple Mail to select one of these Squirrelmail created folders, and go to the Mailbox menu and select the "Use This Mailbox For..." command to make it the folder to use for that purpose. It is also possible to edit the Squirrelmail config.php file to adjust its settings which as default will be
$defaultfolderprefix = 'INBOX/';
$trash_folder = 'Trash';
$sent_folder = 'Sent';
$draft_folder = 'Drafts';
My question is what if any, would be a better setting for Squirrelmail so that Squirrelmail puts the folders in the right place for Apple Mail and uses the right names for Apple Mail so that an Apple Mail user does not have to change anything?
The benefit would be that rather each and every user having to alter the Apple Mail setup, I could do one edit of the config file for Squirrelmail and this would then apply forever for all users.

Ok, I may have worked out the answer myself.
Apple Mail in the Apple Mail program uses the folder names
Drafts
Sent
Trash
However it appears to use +on the server+
Drafts
Sent Messages
Deleted Messages
So it appears that in order to get Squirrelmail to match the settings Apple Mail uses and therefore save the Apple Mail user the hassle at their end you need to do two things.
1. Change the IMAP folder path in Squirrelmail from the default 'INBOX/' to '' (nothing)
2. Change the special IMAP folder names in Squirrelmail from the default to match Apple Mail
Therefore in the the Squirrelmail config.php you will go from the default
$defaultfolderprefix = 'INBOX/';
$trash_folder = 'Trash';
$sent_folder = 'Sent';
$draft_folder = 'Drafts';
to
$defaultfolderprefix = '';
$trash_folder = 'Deleted Messages';
$sent_folder = 'Sent Messages';
$draft_folder = 'Drafts';
which matches what Apple Mail is using.

Actually I have found a way for at least the instrument plug ins to be accessed.
I was able to set up an instance of Sculpture in MS2 and record it in LE using Soundflower.
Route the audio from MainStage to Logic and record onto an audio track in Logic as follows:
If not already installed, get SoundFlower. After installing it.
A) Setup the sound you want in MS2 and audio output to Soundflower (remember to Apply Changes or it does not hold).
B) In Logic Express set the audio input to Soundflower and create a new audio track for recording. Important: set Soundflower's audio output to however you listen to your audio or you won't hear anything.
C) Press RECORD and start playing, LE captures Mainstage's sound.
I have not tried to wire LE's output to MS2 to take advantage of Space Designer. but since this functions, I'm not sure why that couldn't work as well. It is still flipping though a few screens though...might just be easier to get Logic Pro from the App store....

Has anyone using a PowerMac and Tiger got a Phaser 8570?

Has anyone using a PowerMac and Tiger got a Phaser 8570?
There are drivers for IntelMac 10.5 and 10.6, but nothing for PowerMacs.
I was thinking of upgrading from our 8550 - if there's a driver that will do - anyone able to help?

Additional information.
Had some problems with the 8550 and decided to take up a Xerox trade-in offer.
The ColorQube 8570 not only works perfectly with Tiger, it's a lot faster and quieter than the 8550.
Which answers the question.

I'm afraid this is by design.
You cannot Airplay Mirror a DVD using DVD Player - Apple block screen mirroring of certain image data which might be protected.
I've a funny feeling Airplay mirroring can potentially be interecpted and decoded so someone could potentially copy the video stream (which would be poorer than DVD anyway).
Try VLC Player:
