Can't get gmail

Setting up a new iMac with Lion and I can't get any mail. The message says password not working, but I can access my gmail online ok, just not with Mail program.
Thanks for any help.

Hello, is this POP or IMAP?
Likely a Port, Authentivation, or other problem, see this & check your settings...

New phone, can't get gmail to work

I'm having problems trying to put my gmail acct on my droid 2. I create a new acct with new password and then I get an error msg. The funny thing is I'll go to google accts and do exactly what they prompt me to do and I still can't enter it on the droid. Weirder still is after I log out online I can't re-access the new gmail account. Anyone else having this problem? Oh and of course, there is no one at google to talk to......

No it is not a stupid question. I tried every possible combination. I even checked the box on googles site about forgot user name. Google sent my user name to my hotmail address. then I went in and reset the password with my user name. So then I tried to set it up on my droid and kept getting an error msg. Went back to google online to login and got an error msg there. Great, by now I'm thoroughly frustrated so I thought I would create a new gmail acct to get it to work on the phone. Same thing happened. Gmail gave me an error msg even though I just created a new acct. So I can't log on my pc or phone and there is no one to contact a google to find out what is wrong.

Delete the account and re-add it, this time add it under the "other" tab with all the correct info and settings.

Thunderbird can not get gmail emails

I do not konw what happen when I move to Gnome3 from KDE , my thunderbird can not get email or fetch mail from gmail . and I do not see error s and everything is good .
how I can understand this problem is not depend on thunderbird .
I have Android phone and I can check my gmail

- open a terminal and see if you can access GMail's ports with telnet from the "faulty" machine
(# telnet google.com 995), for example
if you can, try to check your thunderbird's setup for your account

can't cjange gmail in Firefox from Mobile to desktop.

Hello  ,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
<b>WARNING:</b>Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

Can't get gmail to work on iPad

I have 2 gmail accounts which have worked fine on my iPad for a while- 1 is personal and the other is professional. Recently, the personal one was hacked and I had to jump through all sorts of hope to get it work correctly. I set up the 2 step verification process which quickly complicated things even more and long story short, I ended up getting rid of that and basically deleting the account and starting over, using the same address. I thought I had everything squared away but for some reason, I still cant seem receive email on this account through the imap server. I have to log into google which is extremely annoying. Thank goodness, at this point my professional gmail account seems to be fine. I know the password is correct but somehow, iPad is not recognizing it. I am at my wits end and really don't want to have to give up this email address.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. The email associated with my apple id is also non functional, thanks for any guidance !
<Email Edited By Host>

Try turning the email account off and then turn it on again. Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>select your gmail account>Off. Go to the mail app and then come back to the account in the settings and turn it on again.
If you can't find any other way for the iPad to accept the password, delete the email account and then add it back onto the iPad.

Can't get gmail in Mavericks

I've read about all the issues with gmail and Mavericks. My issue is that none of my gmail downloads into mail. I've tried deleting and then setting up my gmail account again, but I can't seem to get any gmail to download into mac mail in Mavericks. This pretty much makes my MBA useless since I can't receive any gmail on it.

Same thing happened here. I performed the upgrade, opened mail and witnessed the DISASTER that Apple (what used to be a good company) has executed on with Maverick. I don't care if it's free. Charge me $19.99 and make it work. This may be the worst upgrade I've ever seen in any software....EVER.
In addition to the myriad of things I'm experiencing.
Mail has been displaying "undocumented features" (bugs) in the following ways.
Smart Maiboxes are not working properly
Mail is not displaying that is there (I can see it on other non-upgraded devices)
Response times are very long for basic tasks
My favorite feature is how you can click on the mail app and it takes several seconds for it realize it needs to do something.
I seem to have found something that helps get things to a semi-functional state.
Rebuilding the mailboxes. Just select the InBox you are concerned about.
In the mail application select Mailbox---->Rebuild
I seemed to get myself to borderline functional state.
Still having sent messages sitting in the outbox.
Have mail conficts showing up from 2010.
Other mysterious items.
Apple - please get a fix quickly. It appears your developers are part of the same team that built the National Healthcare website.

Why can't get gmail account to set up on iMac

This morning I can't seem to get emails to download on my IMac. I deleted the account and tried to reinstall and it still gives me the same message. I went to the google account and made sure the server (IMAP) was entered correctly. It worked fine until this morning.

You are not alone. There seems to be a hiccup on the gmail servers.
Not much we can do but wait for it to be sorted out.
If you need to check your emails, try to get in through Safari. It will still ask for your password, but at least it won't be rejected this way.
If the link is not displayed in your browser, try this: https://mail.google.com/mail/?tab=wm#inbox

How can I get gmail to automatically check for messages every 5 minutes on my 4S?

I am new to my Iphone 4s. I use gmail for my mail application. One special from address is urgent when I get a message. I have flagged this address as a VIP and assigned loud tones and notifications in the notifications function but a message was sent to me but nothing "arrived and nothing happened" until I opened mail again. I need this message and the notification to be intrusive!

There is no option to Fetch email every 5 minutes.
The options are:
Every 15 Minutes
Every 30 Minutes
Hourly
Manually
These settings are in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data
The only other option is to set the email account up as Exchange so that as new emails arrive they are pushed to the device.

Mail can't get gmail anymore.

I get the following error message through the default mail app:
The mail server "imap.gmail.com" is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings.
This happened Friday night. I never changed any settings, an restarting my phone hasn't done the trick.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Go to settings>Mail contact and settings. From there go to the mail account you are having issues with.
Delete the account. Once deleted, add the account back to your device.
Good luck.

Can't get gmail to work on 4S

Hi,
No matter what I do I cannot set up my gmail account on my 4S (ATT). I've read the gmail threads on Google's website re this issue, and followed what their YouTube clip says to do re 2-Step-Verification for gmail on iPhone's (generates a password to use with the iPhone) but not even that works. Any ideas? (I really don't want to use to Google's iOS 5 app, but am for the time being. Would much prefer to use the mail setup program for gmail under the phone settings).
Thanks!
Dorington

Phew! Found the answer elsewhere on the discussion forum - disregard my posting. Thanks!

How do I link my google contacts if I can't get my gmail to connect through the exchange

My gmail account which was connected to the exchange and out of nowhere stop working saying that the server has failed. I have tried several things (deleting and resetting up, etc) and can't get it to work. I need to find a way to link my contacts even if I can't get gmail to work.
Also why did my server fail all of the sudden

You follow the instructions on google's web site and set up Card-DAV. Google has terminated support for Exchange Active Sync on non-paid gmail accounts.
