If you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate an application-specific password in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password.

  • Apple mail can send through gmail, but thunderbird cannot

    I have apple mail setup and working both with a POP3 account and gmail. I installed Thunderbird. It works fine with POP3 both send and receive. Gmail not so good. I can receive emails but not send. I setup outgoing smtp as: smtp.gmail.com; tried ports 25, 465, and 587; authentication method is normal password; connection security is SSL/TLS.
    This can't be a network issue if apple mail works right? I did notice apple mail is set to default (25, 465, 587) and I am guessing it will try all three.
    I followed the troubleshooting page, I cannot telnet to port 25 but I get responses from 465 (connection refused by smtp.gmail.com) and 587 (appears to log in or something).
    So, what is wrong?
    my system:
    Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.9; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/24.3.0
    Application Build ID 20140131124303

    Do you get any detailed error message information?
    Google's online help page ([https://support.google.com/mail/troubleshooter/1668960]) lists these settings for the outgoing mail server:
    Server: smtp.gmail.com
    Use Authentication: Yes
    Port for TLS/STARTTLS: 587 ''(I think this is preferred)''
    Port for SSL: 465
    For your account name (user name) you need to include the @gmail.com part (this various from service to service).

  • Apple Mail: Can't receive mail

    I can't receive mail, or set up new mailboxes. I can send mail. Here is a picture of what I'm receiving. I've troubleshooted on my own, changed ports (993, 143, 538), used connection doctor, checked and unchecked SSL, and still no success. Here are a few images.

    These are the settings you should be using:
    Incoming:
    AOL Mail IMAP server address: imap.aol.com
    AOL Mail IMAP user name: Your AOL Mail screen name (the part before "@aol.com" in your AOL Mail address; if your AOL Mail address is [email protected], for instance, the screen name is "me")
    AOL Mail IMAP password: Your AOL Mail password
    AOL Mail IMAP port: 993
    AOL Mail IMAP TLS/SSL required: yes

  • Apple Mail no longer receiving Gmail messages

    Hi
    When I upgraded to Mavericks over Christmas I could no longer send or receive messages via my Gmail account.  I recreated it and it worked fine until 21 January when I stopped receiving any messages.  I can send them OK, the Connection Doctor says "Connection and login to server succeeded" for the Gmail SMTP account and the same for the Google IMAP account.  I have 3 non-Gmail accounts which are using the Gmail SMTP as the outgoing server and they work fine.  I downloaded the Airmail mail app and set up my Gmail account and it's sending and receiving messages with no problems.
    I read on a forum that rebuilding my inbox might help, and now I've got no Gmail messages at all!  This is driving me crazy, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    In System Preferences > Notification Center, select Mail in the left hand column, and check the box, "Badge app icon" toward the bottom on the right.

  • Why mail can't receive email from gmail today, but yesterday was fine and yahoo is fine.

    why mail can't receive email from gmail today, but yesterday was fine and yahoo is fine.

    It's a risk if you're using POP3 mail. You can archive mailboxes to another location for safe keeping.
    Or, just try adding new versions of the accounts without deleting the old ones (you can have duplicates, name them different so that you can tell them apart). If the new ones work, then you can just drag the mail folders from the old to the new and then delete the old.

  • Apple Mail 3.2 and GMail IMap

    Hi,
    Yes, I know this topic has been discussed on this forum before, but I have not 100% been able to put the pieces together.
    I can get Apple Mail 3.2 running Gmail via IMAP with no problem by following the instructions on the google site:
    http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=81379
    Then I set my account as directed by Google for recommended account settings:
    http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78892
    I am able to send and receive email. But I see some quirks:
    1. When I send a message, it is not stored in the Apple Mail "Sent" box. It just remains empty. Why?
    2. When I sent my first message the "Store Sent Messages on the Server" became checked even though I unchecked it during account setup. Why?
    3. If I have multiple gmail accounts that I set up in Apple Mail 3.2, will they all be under one Apple Mail 3.2 "Inbox" combined?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello Hal:
    I think you will get a better answer to your question by contacting G-mail. In my case, I use AOL mail in Apple's mail application. AOL catches the vast majority of spam/junk and it is placed in a spam folder. The few that get through seem to be trapped by Apple's mail and placed in the Junk folder.

  • ICloud + Apple mail; can I see content in mail folders on my mac?

    Question for those who know iCloud.
    If I am using iCloud + Apple mail; can I see content in mail folders on my mac?
    Have 2 email accounts currently (yahoo and gmail), and use smart rules to move my email to them for organization automatically, issue is then I cannot see them on my iPhone mail, they are there, then "gone" when moved to the iMac folder.
    https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-MltXmqSQAXI/UkjrwPwtQmI/AAAAAAAAQk8/qwuOU7FFj dI/s720/iMac%2520mail.jpg

    I don't see any evidence of an iCloud account there - do you actually have an @icloud.com address? iCloud syncs only its own email, it has no relationship to any other service.
    However, if both your Mac and your iPhone are receiving, for example, Gmail, and you move a message on your Mac from the Gmail mailbos to a mailbox in the list under 'On My Mac' then this removes it from the GMail mailbox and as it's only on the Mac the iPhone cannot see it. In order to do what you want you have to create any new mailboxes on the GMail account itself and move the messages there.

  • How do I synch iPhone 4S, Apple Mail 3.6 and Gmail?

    I believe this is the simplest way to phrase this:
    I want everything that I do to my Gmail account, no matter where I do it (iPhone 4S, Apple Mail 3.6 on a MacBook Pro, and Gmail on the web) to synch across those three platforms.
    Now on to the more complicated part and multiple questions:
    Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the only way for iPhone 4S, Apple Mail 3.6 and Gmail web to behave completely "in synch" is to use ONLY IMAP...and therefore, the first step I took was to DISABLE POP on Gmail web, and ENABLE IMAP on Gmail web.
    Problem #1: My Apple Mail account was originally set up as POP. Therefore, I created a "second" gmail account in Apple Mail, using the same username and password, but choosing to use IMAP rather than POP. So now MAILBOXES in Apple Mail has 2 "sub inboxes" under my Inbox, which I named "Gmail Pop (for archival purposes only)" and "Gmail - IMAP." There is also "DRAFTS" (unchanged), "SENT" (unchanged), and "TRASH" with 2 "sub trash cans" - Gmail Pop and Gmail IMAP.
    * Since POP is disabled, at this point is it safe to completely delete the entire POP account from my Apple Mail? If I do that, will "Gmail Pop" disappear as a "sub inbox" and "sub trash can"? I would like to have only 1 INBOX and TRASH under MAILBOX in Apple Mail.
    * Once I am ONLY using IMAP on my MacBrook Pro, what happens when I have no wireless / internet connection (for example, when I'm out of my condo and riding on the train)? Is there any way to actually download my Inbox, Drafts, Sent and Trash folders to Apple Mail on my Mac using only IMAP - so that I have the option to work offline?
    Problem #2: I figured out how to change the setting on my iPhone so that I can actually delete messages and not just archive them to "All Mail" on Gmail Web and make them disappear from the iPhone Inbox.  The issue is that on all 3 devices - iPhone 4S, Apple Mail 3.6 AND Gmail, with IMAP enabled I now have 3 "trash folders":  I'm not exactly sure where everything is going depending where it's deleted from, but I ONLY want it to go to TRASH (and not the weird [Gmail]Trash folder nor the newly created "Deleted Messages" option in Gmail Web) - regardless of how it's deleted.
    * How do I get rid of the [Gmail]Trash and Deleted Messages options across all 3 clients (iPhone, Apple Mail and Gmail web) - so that whether I'm running my thumb over the message in my Inbox and choosing "Delete" (iPhone version) / pressing the "Delete" button on my Mac (Apple Mail version) / checking the box next to the message in my inbox and then clicking the Trash icon that comes up (Gmail version) - so that no matter how I'm deleting my mail, all that happens is that it goes into just one Trash area (on all 3 clients) - so that it gets permanently deleted after 30 days....Basically, I don't want messages lingering in a bunch of different trash folders, where some are permanently deleted and some aren't - I just want 1 "centralized" trash area!
    Problem #3: In Apple Mail --> Mail --> Preferences --> Mailbox Behaviors: If I want the solutions for problem #1 and problem #2 to work, which boxes should be checked?  I don't really understand why you would or would not put everything on "the server"... nor do I understand what "server" they are talking about.
    Problem #4: Since I've started using IMAP on my Mac, my internet connection in general, as well as my Apple Mail, has slowed down quite a bit. Will this go away once I completely rid my computer of the POP files? 
    Problem #5: Doesn't it seem pretty simple that someone would want all the same things to happen to you whether you're using Gmail web, Apple Mail, or your iPhone? Why don't Google and Apple work together to make this a MUCH simpler process?

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

  • If someones is using my account/apple id can they receive calls or messages too?? and how can i notice  if someones using my apple id??

    if someones is using my account/apple id can they receive calls or messages too?? and how can i notice  if someones using my apple id??

    You cannot make your @icloud.com address the login address for the ID. However you can change your ID, currently a Gmail one, to any other functioning non-Apple email address. The Gmail address would then no longer access your account, and so even if someone were to obtain posession of it (is that even possible) it wouldn't allow them to get into your account.
    If you want to change your ID to another email address please follow the procedure outlined below, particularly noting the first step.
    Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
    Create a new email address, for example  at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
    Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
    Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
    Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
    I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

  • Can't receive gmail

    Hi,
    I know a lot of other people appear to have had similar problems.
    I can't receive gmail. If just sits in the checking mode. I can send though it takes a long time. I haven't changed any settings. Started to happen about a month ago when I tried to send a attachment that was too large. It wouldn't send and now I can't receive the emails.
    I can also not delete the gmail account. And as far as I can see all my settings are as suggested.
    I did find a recovered messages file where it had the message with the large attachment that wouldn't send in it up to 73 times in it. I have managed to delete those. But still not improvement.
    Can anyone help?

    I have also taken that account offline, added the gmail again as a 2nd account, and it is still doing the same thing.
    I ran the test that gmail suggests and it appears fine so they say it might be something with my ISP.

  • Apple Mail - Can't Send - Buttons do not respond

    I have a new mac on the network,I setup a pop3 account in Apple Mail. It received fine but will not send.
    No errors are reported. When I create a new message and click the send, it doesn't nothing. Same response as if I click save as draft. I have tried just changing the smtp settings but it doesn't make any difference. Any suggestions?

    Are you really running Mac OS X 10.4.1, as your profile indicates? If not, then please update the Operating System field on your My Settings’s profile (and click Save), so that it accurately reflects the version of Mac OS X you’re running now. This is essential information that should always be provided when asking for help.
    This problem in Mail is usually caused by some Launch Services cache or preferences corruption that affects the built-in spell checker. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services — the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
    Resetting Launch Services
    If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, take a look at this other article for general troubleshooting and cache-cleaning procedures. Actually, you should also verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described there:
    Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
    The most appropriate utility for this particular problem probably is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
    Side effects of System cache cleaning
    As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
    1. Quit all applications.
    2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
    3. Go to Maintenance > Reset and check LaunchServices database.
    4. Un-check any other pre-checked options.
    5. Click the Execute button.
    6. Restart the computer.

  • Can't receive gmail in mac mail

    I recently changed passwords in my gmail account (hack attempt) but now I can't receive mail from that account in Mail. I have several email accounts and they all filter into Mail for ease of access. I've tried many things (e.g. resetting keychain, entering password in Mail account preferences, etc.) but nothing works. Any help is much appreciated!

    I should also add that when I try to send a Gmail message to myself at my Gmail address using the Gmail smtp server, the message activity bar goes about 1/2 way across and then just stalls.. Then I have two spinning gizmos - one next to my Sent box and one next to my Gmail box. I just tried sending out of my mobile me acct and that doesn't seem to go out either now.
    I should also mention that yesterday I accidentally drug in a whole Project out of iPhoto to send a picture to someone and didn't realize Mail was trying to send the whole project. I saw under Mail activity that this was going to take forever, so I tried to cancel it. That may be part of the problem. Bad things started happening after that. I do also in my Gmail acct under the Sent Folder, a solid circle to the right of it with just a tiny part of it showing white, like it was at the beginning of sending something big, but never finished. Is there a way to clear all this out, as I'm suspecting something went amiss there - just a guess.
    Thanks,
    Mark

  • Mail can't receive email from Gmail server even it knew

    I have an account in Gmail and I set up a POP account in Mail, and it works! But that's was last week time, now I can't receive any new mail but I still know I have. Why? Mail always alerts me that "You've new mail". When I check the "Get Info" of Inbox, it showed me that I have about 20 emails that are not download yet. I keep on clicking "get new mail" & wait, but no mail is show up! Things I tried:
    - restart my Mac.
    - reset up my account by checking "receive all mail" in Gmail settings.
    - del my recent account & create again.
    - send an email to myself.
    But it doesn't work.

    Sometimes Mail chokes on a message it cannot download and that prevents it from downloading the rest as well. Solving this problem will probably require removing one or more messages from the server.
    You may want to try to download those messages with another mail client such as Thunderbird first, to avoid losing them — and use Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to import them back into Mail afterwards if you wish.

  • Apple Mail can receive but not send.

    Hopefully someone can help me. I just recently purchased a new iMac (upgraded from the mini). I set up my mail and it's been working fine for the past few weeks. Now, all of a sudden, I cannot send email. I am receiving just fine. I'd like to point out the mini still has the same mail account set up (imap) and it is working just fine. Both computers are on the same wireless and have the same firewall and overall configurations. I've checked my outgoing SMTP settings 1000 times and they are correct and i've reset everything I can think of (modem, router, mail, mac, ect) and it still will not send. Any ideas?!?!
    Both computers are running 10.5.6 and Apple Mail 3.5
    Message was edited by: embdaw

    Ok I fixed the problem and hopefully this will help anyone else experiencing the same thing. I called apple support and they had me drag the caches folder from both my user and admin account into the cache and delete them. Then I moved library->preferences->com.apple.mail.plist to my desktop (and later deleted after confirming new set-up worked).
    I reopened mail and it had me set up my account again. After that, emails sent without a problem. I just want to note that I am using IMAP so all my stuff is secure on my server, if you use pop, it might delete your saved emails so becareful!
    I hope this helps!
