Since getting Mavericks, I can no longer rearrange my gmail mailboxes in apple mail, either by dragging them or renaming them. This is a bother! Any fixes?

I've been having this problem on all my devices since using mavericks. And it's not only with gmail - also with private mail-clients. Looking for a descent fix!!!

  • Apple mail in OSX Mavericks not saving preferences changes

    Earlier today Apple Mail went buggy, refusing to send messages, displaying no email messages in any box, and hanging.  I deleted the com.apple.mail directory in an effort to salvage my email.  I got the email back, but now Apple Mail will not save changes made in preferences and will not allow me to reinstall MailTags.  I have no idea what is going on here.  Any help would be most welcome.

  • Problem with Apple Mail since OSX Mavericks

    Hello Folks,
    since i've updated my mid-2012 iMac to OSX Mavericks, i have a problem with Apple Mail: When i start the Apple Mail, the program says that it could not connect to the icloud mail server, and that i should enter my icloud passwort. When i do this, everything works fine. But that annoys me, because it worked without any problem under OSX Mountain Lion.
    Has anyone an idea what i can do to fix this?
    Regards,
    Alex

    In the iCloud pane of System Preferences, uncheck the box marked Mail and check it again.

  • HT1277 I can't seem to get gmail from my apple mail account. I have removed the account and added it, but it says I have the wrong password. I close gmail and get in just fine. What's up?

    I can't seem to get gmail from my apple mail account. I have removed the account and added it, but it says I have the wrong password. I close gmail and get in just fine. What's up?

    I meant that I sign out, sign back in ok. Ergo, I know my password. Someone here on the support page  (you?) told me the culprit is the 2 step verification process which I had on. That makes a lot of sense as Apple mail won't get a code thereby jamming up the process. I could not even start a new account until I took that 2 step process off. Everything fine now thank you.

  • Why can't I automatically forward from Apple Mail to Gmail?

    Why can I no longer automatically forward mail from Mac Mail to Gmail account automatically. This worked fine till a few days ago but no longer. I hadn't changed any settings.  have asked about this in Gmail forum but no useful answers, I have now changed various setting but makes no difference. Most of the Gmail help is oriented to Mail 4.0, I have 3.6, so that doesn't help (can I upgrade, I have OS10.5.8), I uploaded MailUpdate but it would it wouldn't let me install).
    Maybe there is a way via Mail Forward but that seems for forwarding _from_ webmail _to_ Apple Mail.
    All help gratefully received.
    Thank you,

    I suppose Gmail is forwarding to Apple Mail but not v versa, hardly anything at all is landing in Gmail.
    My Apple Mail is a POP account, but IMAP -enabled in Gmail if that makes sense, Gmail help says that's what you should do to forward from POP to Gmail.
    I want to forward them to Gmail so I can read my POP mail on my PC at work, as I said this worked beautiflly since I started in Feb till last week, then stopped for no apparent reason... As alternative I use mail2web which is just about okay but very slow, no outbox, no spam or other filtering, keeps timing out.
    Yes something is doubling up but not sure what...
    In my Apple Mail I have two accounts, both POP, one my regular apple mail account, the other my Gmail account, but settings are different according to Gmail help but not sure if they  are right any more..
    thanks again

  • Gmail settings with Apple Mail

    Hello,
    I have some problems in configuring the Gmail settings for Apple Mail.
    Following the instructions on the Google site, under Settings->Mailbox rules I have first of all unchecked everything apart form junk. Please check the enclosed image where I show my Google mailbox settings (sorry it is in Italian but the order is the same as in the English version).
    Please find below the folders view of my Apple mail following above configuration. As you can see, there are two trash folders, one on the Mac and one IMAP. But when I delete one message, it does not move in either two and it does remain on "all mail" folder.
    I simply would like to make deleted messages move into a trash folder that I can empty when I need, in order to get rid of them.
    Can anyone please advise, how to properly set Mail? Than you so much, daniele

    I did try it recently and it worked for me. Did you type “recent:” in the User Name field or in the Email Address field? It should be in the User Name, which is what is used for logging in. The Email Address is used only to determine what should appear in the From header of messages sent from that account and is irrelevant otherwise...

  • How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers?  People with Outlook have all of their old and new emails.  My old emails have vanished from Apple Mail.

    How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers?  People with Outlook in my company have all of their old and new emails.  My old emails have vanished from my Apple Mailbox on my macbook and other Apple devices.  I do not have my mail backed up in time machine recently nor did I export my emailbox recently.  Any ideas?

    Try looking in your User folder.
    Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2
    If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I have to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • TS3276 changing gmail password in Apple mail

    I would like to change my gmail password in Apple mail. I was able to chage the gmail password on the goggle web site but it the same password was not accepted in Apple Mail.

    Problem solved, I deleted the 2 step verification in google and my password was accepted in Apple mail.
    NOW
    When I installed the last mailbox, I noted a lot of "Mail Activity" and several hundred messages were incoming. In my mailboxes, I see the names of the mailboxes but there is no numbers next to them indicating the number of emails in the box. I also see that there are about 200 junk emails, several of then are not junk
    Any suggestions. Hopefully the screen shot comes thru

  • I'm unable to connect my Gmail accounts to Apple Mail.

    All - I've been working on this for hours.
    All I want to do is connect my gmail accounts to Apple Mail.  I'm running a new Macbook Air w Mountain Lion, Apple Mail 6.5.  I can access the accounts on my ipad and iphone.  I've spent hours reading forums and help areas.
    Mail repeatedly asks for my password.  In the account settings it does not save my password. 
    I've gotten the message that Mail cannot connect to Google imap server, but I do not believe this is a "timing" issue
    Here's what I've tried:
    Apple Side:
    -  Tried adding and deleting accounts several times within mail application
    -  tried using System Preferences > Mail/Contacts etc.
    -  Changed imap.gmail.com to imap.google.com
    -  changed to custom dedicated port for outgoing mail (587)
    -  closed and relaunched Mail
    -  Rebooted and safe rebooted computer
    -  set up and deleted accounts
    -  turned off gmail on phone and ipad
    Google Side:
    -  Enabled IMAP
    -  Not using 2 step verification
    -  Checked Captcha

    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.

  • Until yesterday I was getting mail through my gmail acount on Apple Mail.. Today I am unable to recieve any mail No settings have been changed, using valid password etc. Any thoughts?

    Until yesterday I was getting mail through my gmail acount on Apple Mail. I am now not getting any email. No settings have been changed, using a valid password. Any thoughts?

    I found the following advice at: http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/230/Common+issues+with+Apple+Mail#gs/not-rec eiving-email
    Not receiving email
    Once in a while, your Mail.app (sometimes referred to as "Apple Mail" or "Mac Mail"), stops receiving new mail. You may be able to verify that you are getting new mail via webmail, another email client or computer, or even via a mobile phone. When this happens, the fix is extraordinarily easy!
    Here's how: From inside the Mail.app, click the Mailbox menu (see Figure 1):
    Choose "take all accounts offline", and wait 10 seconds.
    Choose "take all accounts online".
    Figure 1: Follow these steps to refresh your Mail application.
    You should begin seeing your new mail flow into your inbox.
    It worked!

  • 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.

  • I can no longer send from my apple mail since icloud.

    I have made a mess of things. I can no longer send from my apple mail since icloud.  My outgoing mail remains offline no matter how I reconfigure it.
    How do you check your tls certificate?  Is is me.com or mac.com?
    I am so frustrated.

  • How can I export email addresses from apple mail?

    How can I export email addresses from Apple Mail?
    Just to be CRISTAL CLEAR please don't reply with export instructions from the address book.....not interested in this.
    I have customers that fill-out a request form online, then the data is sent to our database on our server, and another copy is sent to my email account. The server database got corrupted and is now lost. The only data left are in my email app called APPLE MAIL. I have created Filtered Folders so the data is just in one Folder, not mixed with all other emails. Is there a way to export the email names & addresses from APPLE  MAIL to a CVS file or Excel file?
    Again this is not a question related to Apple Address Book. This is ONLY for Apple MAIL exporting!
    Thanks

    There is a collection of AppleScripts called Mail Scripts you can download at this link.
    http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
    The script to use from the collection of scripts is Add Addresses (Mail) which adds addresses found in the selected messages (in the header fields "From", "To", "Cc", and "Bcc") to the Address Book. This is much more flexible than the "Add Sender to Address Book" available in Mail and provides a convenient way for creating mailing lists.

  • I know I have new mail why can't I see it in Apple Mail?

    I know I have new mail why can't I see it in Apple Mail?

    Oh.
    This seems to be a common problem with Yahoo (search this site)
    I only have one piece of advice to offer. Change your email provider to one that is not Yahoo.

    Try a restart.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.
