Duplicated Notes using Gmail (IMAP)

Last friday was a huge day for my little Macbook. It received 10.5 and I switched my GMAIL configs from POP to IMAP. Thanks to another post, I have solved a major anoyance in Mail (Drafts not erasing), but something is still weird.
I starting using Notes, but it gets duplicated. I have 4 copies of the same Note in Mail and 22 on my online GMAIL account.
Anyone else got the same problem? Is it a "feature", a config somewhere or a bug?
Thanks

Yes. I have this problem too. When I create a note it gets duplicated. First it appears as a blank "New Note" in the "All Mail" folder. After adding text to the note it appears once in my Gmail-Inbox and again (this time with the full text included) in the All Mail folder.
In Mail.app, I have set my "Composing" preferences to create Notes and To Do's in Gmail (rather than On My Mac). This is a great way to transfer notes and to do's to my iPhone. I've been messing around with different configuration options with Gmail IMAP, iPhone, and Mail.app since Google rolled out IMAP a couple of weeks ago.
If you haven't seen this article yet check it out. This de-mystified the process a lot for me. Please post if figure out why Notes are being duplicated.

Reply/answered flags using Gmail IMAP

Does anyone know if Apple Mail now syncs reply/answered flags when using GMail IMAP? I know it was an issue in the past. Has it been resolved? If not, does anyone know of a workaround?
Also, is anyone aware of any guides to optimizing the use of Apple Mail with GMail IMAP? I know there are some quirks. Just wondering if anyone has worked through them all.
Thanks

Just to be clear, gmail does not support the \Answered flag on its IMAP implementation, so there's little Apple can really do to fix it. Here's the gmail page explaining what features are missing:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=78761
I'm not aware of any guides, but my #1 suggestion: use the Google Labs feature which allows you to turn of individual mailboxes on IMAP, and turn off the All Mail box (and possibly Starred, etc.) Having these in Mail will cause some serious confusion, as searches will return two copies of emails, changes in one box will affect another, and so on. Note that the All Mail box will still be available through the web interface, which is nice.

Using gmail imap & sympatico ISP

I'm using an iMac running 10.3.9
I'm having trouble setting up Mail 1.3.11 using gmail IMAP. I just get a message saying that imap.gmail.com could not connect.
Does it matter what ISP I'm using? I use Sympatico in Toronto. Presumably I'm not required to have to route email through their servers?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Are you following Google's help pages for setting up Mail?
http://gmail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78799&topic=12920
There's no specific page for Mail 1.3, but there is one for Mail 2.0 if it helps:
http://gmail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77663&topic=12920
Also, did you remember to enable IMAP in GMail's setting prior to trying to configure Mail?

Using (Gmail) IMAP account from 2 different Macs using Mail ?

Would it be feasible/useful to access an (Gmail) IMAP mail account from 2 different Macs using Mail on each Mac?
My current situation:
- My main computer is an iMac in my bedroom on which I use Mail for my Gmail IMAP account.
- Sometimes (ex: late at night) I can't work from the bedroom and use a PowerBook and the web interface of Gmail. However, I don't like the threaded view for managing emails and therefore prefer the Apple Mail interface.
Question:
Would it make sense that I use Apple Mail on the PowerBook to access the Gmail account instead of using the web interface?
What would be the inconveniences?

Doing so is pretty easy, and standard. That is what IMAP accounts are for, and many computers can access the same account, and what email client they choose doesn't matter.

Turning on "Junk Mail Filtering" Crashes Mail when using GMAIL IMAP

So I thought I had my Gmail IMAP satisfactorily set up through Mail, then I turned on Junk Mail filtering through preferences. Immedaitely Gmail stopped synchronizing (I still can't get it to sync) and Mail starts hanging on basic tasks and will not quit properly. In fact, I have had to "Force Quit" the application ever since changing this status.
Anyone else having this issue?

I have now confirmed that when I turn Junk Mail filtering off via preferences, Gmail will start syncing again and the application will quit properly.

Anyone using gmail imap and and Apple Mail?

Can you tell me if, when you use Apple mail for imap gmail access, what address source does it use?
Does the imap pull up the address auto complete of gmail or does it rely on your address book on your mac (or both)?

I'm using Google IMAP with Mail and it uses the addresses I've got in my Mac's Address Book. Can't tell you if you can also use addresses from Gmail but I'd be inclined to think you could. Joe Kissell provides an excellent, if lengthy, explanation of how to get Mail and Gmail to work together here: http://db.tidbits.com/article/10253

Can not add pdf files to my e-mail-it just grinds on a 851kb file (11kb worked)not using gmail. windows xp. recently wnld java update.

downloaded some java update for downloading support from Ontrack. SInce then firefox will not attach pdf files to my e-mail. not using g-mail, using yahoo. Windows XP. It will add small files (11kb) but just grinds on a 851kb file and never attaches it.If I choose to unclick "enable java" - the "attach files" box disappears from the attach files menu.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

Apple Mail not showing any emails in Inbox when using Gmail IMAP.

I am using Mail to check my Gmail which is set up in Google Apps. The problem is that it never seems to synchronize properly with Gmail. Right now, if I click on Inbox in Mail, it is empty. Not one mail. But if I search for something in the search bar, the mails in Inbox appear. This happens on two computers, an iMac and a Macbook Pro, both running Snow Leopard.
I am using about 1.7GB of space on Gmail, so I do have a lot of mail, but for some reason Apple Mail never seems catch up and just run smoothly. Other people on the same domain hosted by Google Apps, also using Apple Mail are fine. Please let me have any ideas.
Operating system: Apple OS X 10.6.1
Program and version you use to access Gmail: Apple Mail 4.1

Welcome to my confusing and problematic world. We currently have 20-odd users on the Google Apps domain. 3 of them are using Apple Mail to access their mail. 1 is having problems. The only thing different about this user is that we imported messages in from Outlook using the Google mail importer. This is the only thing I can think. The importer seemed to ignore certain folders, even if we retried, and it created folders as inbox/insurance_ etc. I changed all the folders to INBOX in caps, as that is what Mail preferred, and removed the trailing underscore.
This is the only thing different about this user.
On a web browser looking at Gmail, I have:
Inbox
Starred
Sent Mail
Drafts
[Imap]Drafts
Apple Mail To Do
Deleted Items
Deleted Messages
Follow Up
INBOX/folder1
INBOX/folder2
INBOX/folder2/folder1
etc...
INBOX/Folder113
Junk E-mail
Misc
Priority
Sent Messages
4 More (containing Chats, All Mail, Spam, Bin)
I did another "Account Info" and got this: http://gallery.me.com/rtaxerxes/100023/Screen%20shot%202009-11-04%20at%2010.19.5 9%20PM
You'll notice, now it does have an Inbox. But the folders it says are 0 messages and 0 KB do actually have stuff in them on the web browser.

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.

Garbled messages in Mail.app (using Gmail IMAP)

Several of my archived messages in Gmail are displaying with garbled headers in Mail.app, which is configured to access my Gmail account via IMAP. Here's what the headers look like:
------=NextPart_000_001601CA70CE.4D0AAE80
+Content-Type: text/plain;+
charset="us-ascii"
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit+
And here's an excerpt from the body:

Note that the message displays perfectly in Gmail on the web.

Yesterday I tried to move all my messages from Gmail to MobileMe to work around this. I created a new label "Archive" in Gmail web and marked all my mail in "All Mail" with this label so they would show up in IMAP. In Mail.app I disabled "Move messages to Trash" to avoid having them deleted.
Unfortunately I could not move my messages, around 1 out of 50 had the problem described above, so MobileMe did not allow me to upload them because of the missing headers. These were old messages, never opened by Mail.app earlier, and it was true that they missed some headers: they were exported from Outlook and Opera Mail years ago. But still they had all the header fields a mailer would display (To, From, Cc, Subject). Anyway the fact Mail.app cannot display these properly is perhaps acceptable in this case.
However the problem being unable to display certain recently received, archived messages on my Gmail account still applies. Those messages were not modified in any way, only Gmail and Mail.app were used to access them.
Needless to say, the old messages mentioned above that went through Outlook and Opera Mail look OK both on the web and in Thunderbird, too. At least I knew that I realized early that I could not move all messages this way to MobileMe. I am going to try moving my messages again with Thunderbird now.

Anyone else using Gmail (IMAP) with Apple Mail having this problem?

I've been noticing the last couple months that whenever a new incoming message arrives from an ongoing thread/conversation in my Apple Mail client, it makes all prior emails in the same thread show up again as "unread", instead of just showing the latest message as unread. This means I tediously have to go and mark all prior messages in the thread as "read" again each time. When I log into gmail where the mail is hosted (as an IMAP account), the thread in question is hi-lighted to indicate a new unread message (including the email count for the number of messages in that thread), yet it seems only the most recent email is shown as unread. Somehow it seems Apple Mail is interpreting this message count in the Gmail thread as all being unread messages again each time.
Any settings I need to change or is this a bug that Gmail or Apple has?

racb,
First check your on-line Gmail to see if the mail is sent / received. -
Sometimes Gmail will not send to itself or goes into the spam folder.
It also could be a corrupt preference file.
First save the mail in your inbox – in a new mailbox on your Mac.
Close mail.
Go to Home folder (the house) - Library folder- Preferences folder –
Look for - com.apple.mail.plist
Drag it into a new folder on your desktop – just incase you might need it latter.
You will need to go back into mail and recreate you Preferences/accounts again.

Messages Auto-Send every minute using Gmail IMAP

When I try to compose or reply to a message, it seems Mail sends the draft every minute or so to the recipients. When composing an email over the course of a few minutes, the recipient has already received several copies...what could be causing this?

I think I am having the same issue. I recently got a iMac and am just trying to select which folders sent and deleted items are supposed to go. It appears as if there is no such option which seems odd to me because I was able to do that on my iPhone and it works exactly how it should with gmail. In Mail on the iMac though without being able to do this it created like 5 new labels in my gmail account for deleted, sent, junk, and imap/gmail or something like that. I did find this site http://www.hawkwings.net/ which appears to cover everything in Mail, however I have not had time to really go through it and had no luck in the few searches I tried.
Please help!

Show Sent Messages in Mail thread (using gmail and imap)

I'm trying to get my email set up so that I can use gmail imap and also have it show my sent emails within each thread. I can see it within "all mail" but not within my "inbox." Also, ever since I started screwing around with the settings my inbox now takes forever to upload mail or to register that I have read it on my laptop and when I send something from my iphone it shows up on my browser's gmail as "sent mail" which it never used to do. I'm just frustrated and would love for someone to tell me their settings if they're getting the thread view to work well and for a quick refresh! Thanks so much!!!!

I have a similar problem where the threaded messages feature does not work for me unless I reply from my iPhone. If I login to gmail from my computer and reply from the web browser the message will not be in the thread.
I just want my emails to be threaded just like they are in GMail in my web browser.

Multiple notes when using gmail??!

I tried using gmail IMAP with mail and whnever I tried to edit a note a new one is created so I have a million notes why??

...so look in the Event editor (just hit E ) and see if the doubled notes are on the same or on different midi channels. If the doubles are duplicates (same length, same velocity, same channel) then you have a MIDI loop and need to set your keyboard to local off, as pointed out.
To get rid of the duplicates you already have, select all notes (⌘-A) in the editor and hit D .
