In my iPad 2 with IO6 today I can not send emails from my gmail account, they go to the outbox directly...why? How can i solve this problem? ..I restarted the IPad but the problem was not solved. Please help.

Greetings,
Questions:
1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue. Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
Try:
Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Ensure all the devices in use are fully up to date: Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update
Make separate backups of critical data:
Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
Reset syncing on your Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
Reply back if that does not resolve your issue.
Hope that helps.

HT1146 I can not delete messages from my gmail account - help please

My deleted messages from my gmail account keep coming back. How can I permanently delete them?

Hello,
Certain Thunderbird problems can be solved by peforming a ''Clean Reinstall''. This means you remove Thunderbird's Program Files then reinstall Thunderbird. Please follow these steps:
#Download the latest version of Thunderbird from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download is complete, close all Thunderbird windows (Click Exit/Quit from the menu button on the right).
#*'''Windows:'''
#** C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\
#** C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Thunderbird from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Thunderbird with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Thunderbird on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ Thunderbird Download Page], simply remove the folder ''thunderbird'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Thunderbird:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to open Thunderbird after clicking the Finish button.
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Thunderbird's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Thunderbird data, including but not limited to, extensions,emails, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Why can I send emails in my gmail account from my mac?

Please help me i need to to figure this out right away!!
I have my gmail account registered on my laptop and im trying to send emails through it, but it keeps saying that gmail is offline, how do i fix that?

GMail isn't offline because I've been sending and recieving email messages all night. It's possible that your settings aren't correct or that Mail is simply screwing up (which is why I don't use it - much to prone to screwing up).
Can you neither send nor recieve messages? Or one but not the other?

Can i delete emails in mail without having to delete them in the original mail program.

I wish I did not need to use my original Llive account to organize and delete emails, etc. I was hoping just to start using Mail and editing everything from the Apple mail program instead of having to do it in both Mail and in Live. Otherwise, it accumalates a lot of email in both places. It is supposed to make it easier so I do not have to do everything twice.

Option 1.
In Mail Preferences, select Advanced tab for your Mail Account and check the "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message" option. This will delete all your messages from Live.
This selection will only remove new mail (i.e. mail received after you make this selection)
Option 2.
Right click on your Mail Account in the Viewer Window and select "Get Account Info". This will allow you to select and delete messages from Server you don't want and keep the ones you do.
This is no different from going to the web interface and deleting the mail from there.
If the OP wants to keep the webmail and mac mail in sync then Live is the wrong system, an iMap or Exchange system is needed.

I have accidentally deleted my IMAP password from my key chain, therefore i can no longer access my emails using mail. I can access my email through my Gmail account no problem, so how do i fix this as i cannot remember my IMAP password.

I have accidentally deleted my IMAP password from my key chain, as a result i cannot access my google email using the Mac Mail. I cannot remember what the password was for IMAP, so can anyone help to resolve this. i can access my mail by going directly to Google Mail.

The password for use in the Mail application would be the same password you use when accessing Gmail by using an internet browser. The exception to that would be if you have 2-step verification enabled for Gmail. If that is the case then you would need to use an "application-specific password." If you are using 2-step, you can revoke the previous application-specific password and get a new one as described in https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en

Can't Delete Email from .Mac

Hi,
I'm having an issue where I can't delete email from my .Mac account using the web interface or the Mail client. I receive the following error message when I try to delete messages:
"Mail was unable to remove the deleted message in the mailbox ".Mac" on server "mail.mac.com". The server error encountered was: The connection to the server "mail.mac.com" on port 143 time out."
This problem just surfaced today and I can't find any information on the .Mac website. Thanks for any help.
Cheers,
Ignats

I was hoping that it would be a temporary issue but it is still continuing 24 hours later. I'm fairly certain that it is not an issue with the Mail client because I can delete email from my other accounts; still can't delete email from my .Mac account. I continue to receive the error message in my original post.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Thanks m.bode for responding to my question.

Can't delete emails from "read only" Mail account

I am trying to delete emails to clear hard drive space.
On one of my computer's accounts (ONLY one), the mailboxes have the heading "read only", and I can't delete emails. I don't remember selecting this setting, and I can't find it anywhere.
Can someone please point me in the right direction--how do I turn off the "read only" status of the InBox? And--is that why I can't delete emails??
Thank you!

I've had trouble with JavaMail starting on July 21st. I've used the same code for months, but all of a sudden, I can't delete messages from Gmail using the DELETED flag. I open the folder as READ_WRITE, grab the messages from the folder, set the DELETED flag, double check to make sure the DELETED flag was set, then close the folder (setting EXPUNGE to TRUE). Nothing happens. No exception is thrown or message is given, and no messages get deleted from the inbox (they just remain sitting there). I've tried calling the EXPUNGE method manually after setting the DELETED flag, but then it complained that the underlying implementation could not execute the method because the message was READ ONLY!!! I'm out of ideas. I've posted on Google's forums, but every other .NET and command terminal commands seem to still be working. I'm wondering if Gmail altered their configuration to become more compliant with the IMAP protocol, and JavaMail (or its underlying implementation) is still not 100% compliant?
Thanks for your consideration.

Mail can't send email from 123-reg accounts

Hi all,
I've got an issue with Mac Mail can’t send email from 123-reg accounts.
I know there is a lot of articles on simular matters and some I have tried out with no luck, others are just speaking a whole other language.
Any help would be greatly recived, here's my situation below:
Running a iMac 2.8GHz Intel Core i5 on OS X 10.8.3
I’m using 3 accounts on Macs Mail client, one is my iCloud account that is working fine and the other two are my 123-reg accounts that I use for business purposes. I’ve been working like this for a couple of years now and about 6 months ago I upgrade my operating system from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
2 or 3 months ago I randomly got a problem where I was unable to send any emails from my 123-reg account, I could only receive emails. I checked my settings and they were all correct and unchanged so I attempted to delete them and recreate the account but with no such luck.
I then decided to check if it was a problem at 123-regs end and attempted to log into web mail. This worked and was able to both send and receive emails so eliminated that possibility.
I also have these accounts set up on my iPhone, so checked if there was any issues and everything was working fine. I then checked my iphone details and made sure the same was on my desktop and still no such luck.
I’ve tried out some of the articles I’ve found on here (the ones written in plain English) still no results. I’m not very IT illiterate and just wondered if anyone else has got any ideas, whether there is something specific with 123-reg accounts and Mac Mail?
Many thanks.

Thanks
I just had another hunt around looking at posts and discovered that it was because I recently changed to BT Infinity and they had a block on.
I didn't even think to question the ISP.

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.
