Fake mail appearing in every gmail notification widget

I don't know what happened or how, and searching online and here in the forums has yielded no solutions or even examples of others experiencing the same problem. Here's the story:
I use GotMailG in dashboard to check my mail, as I have multiple gmail addressed, both at gmail.com and via google apps. It would be a nightmare to try to check email across so many different addresses if I had to log in and out in the browser, so dashboard is perfect for me. (I used to use a different widget until it stopped working.)
This morning, when I first booted up everything was fine. Then, about an hour or so later, I went to dashboard and it was showing 1 email for every account. VERY unusual, so I clicked one to check and there was no new email at all. Clicked another, same story. Every email address now shows 1 new email when there is nothing there, and to make matters worse if I DO have a new email it does not go up to 2.
I searched for other widgets and found g4me, which yields the same result, BUT I can see a snippet of the fake email. It's an ad for Roxio Toast 10 Pro, from [email protected] Sounds like a spam email address to me, but ***, I can't get rid of it because it doesn't exist on the server?!?
I also tried the Google Notifier, which seems to work fine, so the problem must be originating on my machine, not on the gmail servers. I found instructions for running multiple copies of the Google Notifier, but it looks complicated, especially when I have to do it for 6 different emails.
Has anyone seen this problem on their own machine? I am at a loss for what to do.

I think I've found a fix.
I didn't test it thoroughly but at a first glance mail notifications seem to be working correctly again.

Basically, log in to gmail, and change in the settings for labels the following. Uncheck "show in IMAP" for starred and important.

Mavericks mail keeps resending old Gmail notifications

I've installed the new update as of this morning, but I'm getting mail notifications for mail messages that are several years old in my Gmail. It looks like it is running through all 20,000 messages that I have already viewed How do I get it to stop? It seems to keep doing the same thing several times a day.

I found my answer to this same question here and it worked for me: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23729408#23729408
Paul7 says: Navigate your browser to Gmail and disable the "Important" mailbox/lavel by going to Settings -> Labels -> uncheck "Show in IMAP" for the "Important" System Label.

Unread email notifications do not appear in my Gmail account on Mac Mail?

I am driving an iMac (intel), OS 10.9.3. My unread email notifications do not appear in my gmail account. I have tried everything that I can think of...

Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

Try re-indexing the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

When we attach photos to an email in the Apple Mail app, the photos appear tiny on gmail accounts.

When we attach photos to an email in the Apple Mail app, the photos appear tiny on gmail accounts. They are unable to download the file as the size sent. We have tested this in multiple gmail accounts and we have tried sending as different sizes and actual size with no difference. Other photos attached in other ways come through fine. This seems to be a a result of the recent iphotos to photos app update.
Please advise on if this is a bug with how mail is ending the photos or how gmail is receiving them.

Try using Mail as the email client for iPhoto and see if that will fix the problem:

I get double the amount od gmail notifications in notification -- both from new mail and all mail. What can I do?

I get double the amount of gmail notifications on my iPhone 4 or iPad 2 using iOS 5. Any ideas how to fix?

I Think that you have system sounds muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Outlook mail appearing as garbled text

Recently we have shifted from gmail to outlook and what earlier worked with gmail now is appearing as garbled text in outlook.
A mail notification is triggered from TACTIC ( a web framework ). It worked well earlier. Seems to be related with text encoding but not sure where or how to do that. How should I go about it( have normal text appearing).
Using Exchange server as backend. Microsoft outlook web app in front.

Is the mail appearing fine in other clients like ActiveSync/Outlook Web Access?
What is the version of Exchange server you are running?
Can you paste a screenshot of what you notice on gmail and what you notice on Outlook by removing all the personally identifiable information please?

[Solved] Awesome 3.5: gmail vicious widget does not work

I updated my awesome from 3.4 to 3.5. I noticed that vicious.widgets.gmail does not work anymore. When I move my cursor on mailicon, I can only see N/A. Obviously in my home there is ~/.netrc file:
machine mail.google.com login MYMAIL password MYPASSWORD
This is how I configured the widget: Solved someone this or has someone any idea about how to solve?
-- Gmail
mailicon = wibox.widget.imagebox(beautiful.widget_gmail)
mailwidget = wibox.widget.textbox()
gmail_t = awful.tooltip({ objects = { mailwidget },})
vicious.register(mailwidget, vicious.widgets.gmail,
function (widget, args)
gmail_t:set_text(args["{subject}"])
gmail_t:add_to_object(mailicon)
return args["{count}"]
end, 120)
--the '120' here means check every 2 minutes.
mailicon:buttons(awful.util.table.join(
awful.button({ }, 1, function () awful.util.spawn("urxvt -e mutt", false) end)
Bye! ^^

mailicon.set_image(beautiful.widget_gmail)
That's what he has.

Mail app crashes every time - never starts up

I sync'd and updated iphone with podcasts mp3s etc
after that sync, my mail app will not launch. It seems to get the # of e-mail showing on the notification on the mail icon; however, it will not launch once touched.
It seems to try to launch but shows a white screen, delayed about 2-5 seconds then back to the main screen
I have re-booted the phone 3-4 times and doesn't help it
I haven't re-synced the phone b/c that computer that I sync with is at work and not home. so, will try that later when I get to the office.
Other thoughts or has anyone had similar issues?
TIA!!

Well, I tested a few more things in regards to my problem.
Before the reset which you had suggested above, I had already turned off my e-mail accounts and made them 'inactive' --- except for one ...
I finally turned that one off or made it inactive then turned on another one - and my mail worked on my other account(s) (I have about 7 or so mail accounts setup)
All of my mail accounts are using GMAIL.
Now, I start toggling ALL of my mail accounts back on - all work.
I get to my main account (which was failing before) -- and sure enough, I go to INBOX and it crashes the mail app.
I narrow it down to where I can go to a lot of other folders on my main account, it works. ONLY when going to my INBOX on this one account does it fail... and then, I guess the MAIL app tries to recall where it was b/c it continues to crash until I make that mail account 'inactive'.
So, I think somehow this particular GMAIL inbox is corrupted with my iPhone mail app - I have no idea on this other than maybe deleting my account and re-setting it back up on my iPhone.

I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
Disk Utility can verify my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
Good luck!

I'm having troubles with Mail. Some mails (in particular to gmail addresses) are not sent.

I'm having troubles with Mail. Some mails (in particular to gmail addresses) are not sent. When sending an email, Mail apparently works for a while but does'nt sent anything. I repeated sending the mail with the same result and 2 or more mails in the draft folder. Yesterday I discovered that the mail had been sent 4 times!. Now I have the same problem: the mail has not been sent, it appears in the draft folder, I try to delete it but the mail remains in the draft folder. This happens after updating to Mac OS X 10.7.2 and migrating to iCloud.
I have MacBook 2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 Mb ram memory, Mac OS X Lion (10.7.2).

If those music are greyed out in iTunes on your laptop, are you able to play the music? If you cannot, it means that you probably deleted the mp3 file or moved it to another location where iTunes can no longer find. If they are greyed out on iTunes and cannot play them, I would just right click and delete it. Then re-sync with your iPad.

Mail not loading new gmail message

I have Apple Mail 4.3 and since 22 November it is not loading new gmail messages. New messages are appearing in gmail and iphone, but not in Mail - any ideas why this would be

I'm facing the same problem since 27 Dec 2010, can't find and fix for this problem.
I can download other mail accounts except imap.gmail.com, it just show loading and nothing happen, and it also choke up almost all my internet bandwidth.
I gave up and switched to outlook for mac and no such problem.
Hope apple can look into this problem and I'm sure there are more out there having same issue.

Safari/Mail certificate problem with gmail/google

Here is my problem:
I have set-up Mail to use my gmail account through POP. Since yesterday, when I try to get or send mail, mail gives me the error:
Unable to verify SSL server pop.gmail.com
Mail was unable to verify the identity of this server, which has a certificate issued to "pop.gmail.com'. The error was:
You might be connecting to a computer that is pretending to be "pop.gmail.com', and putting your confidential information at risk. Would you like to continue anyway?
I then have the option to show the certificate,cancel or continue. If I hit Continue, nothing happens and mail set itself to offline. If I force Mail back online (Menu Mailbox/Go Online), when it goes on the next automatic check, it turns back offline. After hours of google search, I also tried the option to show the certificate, then drag the icon of the certificate to the desktop, then open the certificate with Keychain in order to add it to the keychain but this did not work for me, keychain refused to open it and if I double-click it on the desktop it opens as a clipping content. If I change the typre/creator to force Keychain to open it, then I got an error "Unable to import an item".
I then tried to access gmail within Safari (not through POP) and I got this error when I tried to login:
Safri cannot establish a secure connection to www.google.com
At the same time, I had no problem to access it with Firefox. Back to google search, I tried to use Safari debug menu to set the security to "Performs Lax Certificate Checks" and then I could access my gmail with Safari. However the problem persists in Mail.
I believe this is a system-wide certificate issue (Firefox not affected because of a diffrent handling of certificates?not much knowledge about certificates). I tried all the standard troubleshooting:
re-boot, logoff, repair permissions, reapply latest security updates, reapply latest OS update, reset Safari, clean-up caches, discarded all mail preferences,clear-up keychain of any google/gmail.
Finally I also found in my searches to try ro download a certicate from Thawte (ThawtePremiumServerCA.cer) and add it to my keychain but this does not solve the problem.
Help will be greatly appreciated
System info: iMac G5 1.6, 1Gb RAM, OS X 10.3.9 (everything up to date according to Software update), internet connection through Airport extreme base station.

Are you saying that this is a well-recognised issue?
Can we assume that the reason for not fixing it is that Nokia want people to use Nokia Messaging instead? It came free with my phone and I did try it. It connected & synchronised well but contacts in headers kept appearing in quotes ("") and when I checked my email from my main IMAP client my sent items included incomplete versions of my emails as well as the finished email - as if it was sending drafts.
I guess I'm sticking with MfE for calendar and IMAP for email...

Anna - Notifications widget bug ?!

After updating my E7 to Anna the notifications widget on my homescreen is somewhat buggy...when i get new sms or missed call they dont appear in the widget as before in the old version. It is somewhat frustrating, they only appear on the upper right end corner, the small icons appear there only.
Any idea how to fix this ?!
I tried removing the widget and putting it back, restarting the phone...
thank you

Hi LuxLuxLux,
Thank you for your post.
In Belle, the notification widget has been replaced by a pull-down notification bar on the top of your homescreen that gives you fast and easy access to missed calls and other information.

Line tool marks are appearing on every page

I received a mortgage disclosure statement that I have to sign. There is no security on the document. When I use the Line Tool to check off some of the boxes though, the lines appear on EVERY page of the document. I only need it on ONE page. I checked some of my other PDF files and this problem is not happening on those documents. I am using Acrobat 9. I would appreciate any help on this.

I'd rather not share it because it's mortgage application with lots of personal data on it. It was a PDF file E-mailed by the mortgage company to me. I have to sign a bunch of pages and return.
I guess I could print it as an image to a new PDF and then sign and comment everything that way.
I'm trying to scan all the manually signed documents now, and it is taking forever because it is so many pages.
