Apple Mail not receiving Gmail replies

I've been using Apple Mail with one of my Gmail accounts and it seems that for some reason its not picking up personal emails that are being sent to me as a reply? I'm still receiving corporate emails such as twitter, soundcloud etc. but there is no sign of the replies that are being sent from friends and colleages. When i log into the actual Gmail site there is no trace of the email i sent being sent either aswell as the no trace of any email being received.
Connection doctor is green for every other account accept for this one in which it says 'Trying to log in to this SMTP acount failed. Verify that username and password are correct' and i know 100% that the password and username aren't the problem.
Thanks in advance

Apple Mail not received by Optonline etc.

I send and receive mail using Apple Mail program with several email accounts (Comcast, Gmail, Mac/Me) I have a couple people who never get my email if I send using Mail, but if I send using Gmail's web browser interace, it works. I have Mail setup so it is not formatted text. I have no known problems with 99% of my email contacts.
The two people can send me stuff fine but my reply or fresh email to them never arrives and never gets bounced back, so neither of us know that something went wrong. Just goes into oblivion. Only way I know is I ask them if they got the email and they say no.
They use Optonline and Network Associates for their ISP, and botha re lcoated on East Coast.
Are there settings on my end to make my outgoing email more friendly to picky ISP or email cleitns on their end??

you are doing everything just right.
it sounds like the problem is on the receivers end, they may have a setting that is preventing this. you isolated it by stating you sent the email to yourself with the quoted text, and the quoted text showed up fine. you are good to go, the receivers need to do the troubleshooting.

Apple Mail not received as sent to Outlook

I am puzzled. I send a reply to an email, and the receiving party only receives what I typed, not their original email appended at the bottom. I highlighted the original post, which I thought meant it would be included. This is NOT an attachment, but in the body of the email. The receiving party uses Outlook for the PC. The receiving party is actually several email addresses. I have included myself in the To: and I receive the entire email as I sent it with the original email. The other parties do not. My mail server is Gmail, as is my address. In my Preferences, Composing, Responding, I have both "Quote the text of the original message" and "Include all of the original message text" selected. Can someone direct me to solve this problem? Thanks!

Apple Mail not sending Gmail Imap

Hey I have Gmail on my Apple Mail using Imap and it was working fine until about a week ago when it stopped sending so I tried re-adding an Imap account but cant even create one
Anyone else had this problem, any ideas?

Hello,
What size are these attachments & what extention/file type are they?
gMail has been known to refuse say .zip files, & of course attachments over a certain size.
One big drawback on Apple Mail is that if you have a malformed or non compliant eMail, it'll prevent anything beyond that, just keeps trying & failing to progress to the next one.
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

Apple Mail not receiving emails after OS X update 10.6.7

Hello,
I have a strange problem. Apple mail has stopped receiving incoming messages after I did a software update of OS X 10.6.7. Outgoing mail is working fine.
Funnily enough the same settings are still working on my Iphone where I continue to receive incoming email.
I performed a rebuild on the mail and have done a combo update as well without any success.
Please help!!
Thank you

Attachments in Apple Mail not received by addressee. Same attachment sent via Google mail received ok. Why?

I sometime need to send attachments such as pegs to a Uscg.mil address. The attachments do not show up to the addressee, and it is probably due to a security firewall on the military side. However, the same attachment goes through fine if sent using web mail (Gmail). There must be some difference in the way Apple embeds an attachment that causes it to be rejected by the military security firewall. Any thoughts on this?

Did you ever find a solution to your problem sending email with attachments? I am getting the same message - "please select a different server" when I try to send emails with attachements...VERY FRUSTRATING...!

Apple Mail not synching Gmail

I'm running 10.9.4 with no virus software running and for some reason in the last week my gmail stopped synching to my laptop, but it still synchs to my iphone and ipad. I've tried deleting and reloading the account, quiting mail, restarting my computer, etc. nothing seems to work. I know I'm not the only person with this problem does anyone have a solution?
Thanks.

Hello Paul.
The thing is, Mail wouldn’t be able to remove your mail from Gmail’s server even if you told it to do so. Gmail POP access doesn’t work like a normal POP mail server would, and one of its idiosyncrasies is precisely that Gmail ignores any requests to delete messages from the server made by a POP client such as Mail.
Your Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings have absolutely no effect on the messages stored on Gmail’s server. What happens to the messages on the server after a POP client has downloaded them is determined by Gmail’s Settings > Forwarding and POP > When messages are accessed with POP setting alone. If your messages are being removed from the server after Mail has downloaded them, it has to be because you’ve configured Gmail (not Mail) that way...

Apple mail not receiving from icloud

Just got a new MBP, input my icloud user id and password, it brought in all of my old emails but has not been receiving all of the new emails. Any idea of what to do?
Thanks in Advance,

Nevermind, it started working.

My apple mail is receiving my outlook/ company messages, but not gmail. Message is "take account online" but it won't. Outgoing gmail messages work.

My apple mail is receiving my outlook/company messages but not gmail. It says the account is offline, but won't go online. gmail messages do send. Help!

Remove the account and put it back again, use Internet Accounts (in System Preferences) to do this.

Blank Emails with Attachments from Apple Mail if received into Gmail IMAP.

Hi
I have noticed that if I receive an email with an attachment from someone using Apple Mail to my Gmail IMAP account (in Apple Mail) the body of the text is blank. I get the attachment but the only way to read the body of the email is to show the Raw Source. Has anyone else had the same problem and does anyone have a solution?

Not me and I use gmail's IMAP service with Apple Mail frequently. You're probably better off posting this question on google's gmail forum which you can get to via the help section on the gmail.com web site.

Mail sends but will not receive gmail

I just upgraded to a new iMac and transferred all my data via Time Machine. My mail app will send emails but not recieve them. yesterday after reading on here that making a new account, I could fix this, I found that I I now cannot see any of my past received emails. That's very troubling.
Anyway, any ideas on why mail would send but not receive gmail?
Thanks!

What do you see for that account if you invoke Mail's menu option Window > Connection Doctor?
Pay particular attention to the settings under the "Advanced" tab for that account in the Mail preference "Accounts" panel.

How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book?

How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book? Everytime I write an email on the Apple mail app (as well as in Gmail) it recommends a bunch of emails that are not my contacts. I want it to just autofill for the contacts that I have in my address book. Is this possible? Thank you. I have an Imac Intel version and an Iphone 5 phone.

Apple Mail vs. Gmail IMAP disagreeing counts

A friend has two iMacs (10.6.5), iPad & iPhone (iOS 4.2) recently switched to gmail for his primary email service.
The problem is that not all the devices “see” the same Sent, Drafts and Trash mailbox.
Working with other IMAP services, I never see issues like this, so I know this is a gmail specific issue - there’s a disconnect between the way Gmail organizes it’s IMAP mailboxes vs. the way the Apple Mail does.
For instance, when you configure Apple Mail for a gmail IMAP account, it assumes your Sent mailbox will be called “Sent Messages”. And on the gmail web side, a Label always gets created called “Sent Messages”. My experience is that without any intervention, when you send email, it shows up in Apple Mail in the proper “Sent” mailbox, but in gmail it shows up in “Sent Messages”, NOT gmail’s Sent mailbox.
For some reason, with a gmail account, the old trick of Mailboxes > Use this Mailbox for doesn’t work because the options are grayed out.
So, how I’ve improved this situation is to open up PropertyListEditor and edit com.apple.mail.plist. There is a key called ‘MailAccounts’ under which is an “item” representing the Gmail account. Underneath, there’s an entry for ‘SentMessagesMailboxName’. I’ve tried changing this to both “Sent Mail” or “[Gmail]/Sent Mail” and both work in the sense that any email sent from Apple Mail ends up in gmail’s Sent mailbox, and NOT in “Sent Messages”
Here’s where the mystery deepens.
In my friend’s situation, when I do this, when path is set to [Gmail]/Sent Mail, I see two Sent mailboxes
in Apple Mail, I see 886 messages in the Sent under ‘Mailboxes’, and 823 in ‘Sent Mail’ under GMAIL section
in gmail, the ‘Sent Mail’ mailbox has 651 items and there exists a “[Imap]/Sent Mail” mailbox which has 609 items
When I edit the plist and change the path with PropertyListEditor to just “Sent Mail”, Apple Mail only shows one Sent mailbox with 823 messages items, but is missing the message sent within the past couple days.
Any ideas how to make sense of this?

No real answer to your problem, but I can confirm the problem exists...I've been chasing it forever. Another issue (that is equally as perplexing) is that no matter how you configure deleted message behavior in Apple Mail, when you delete a message it NEVER shows up in the Gmail TRASH folder. If someone would just create a definitive guide for using Gmail and Apple Mail they could probably sell it.

How can i get apple mail to recognize gmail and pac bell mail servers?

how can i get apple mail to get gmail and pacbell mail?
it says it doesn't recognixe the certificate, so i restarted which usally works but not always
please help
thank you

Google has a support notice that may explain the problem here: http://support.google.com/mail/answer/82350?hl=en
Apple has a built-in method for setting up Gmail accounts that makes sure that they are set up properly.
Go to System Preferences under the Apple menu and select Mail, Contacts & Calendars. In the left-hand sidebar select the Add Account… item. In the main window select Gmail. Enter the information in the drop down sheet.
As for Pacbell I don't know what the proper settings are and could only find these from a third party so proceed with caution. http://www.emailserversettings.com/category/pacbell
