Forwarding Gmail to Mail

Hello,
Getting my gmail to forward to mail isn't exactly the issue. My problem is sending Gmail's from Mail. I am able to send mail alright, but one of the Gmail addresses insists on sending 'as' the second Gmail address. If I send a test from [email protected] and from [email protected], the receiver gets two from [email protected] Additionally, any email sent from abc is also sent to xyz - regardless of addressee.
I think this is due to SMTP server settings. I have only one SMTP server set up and in the pop up (edit smtp server list) in the right hand column it says - in use by account abc, xyz. I tried setting two SMTP servers (one each) but got some dialog of conflicts and can't do that. So, maybe I'm wrong (not the first time) about where the problem is, but any help would be appreciated.

chattphotos - Eric
Thanks for the replies.
Chattphotos - I have not deleted and re-added the accounts and no, I'm using POP. I have checked the from field to make sure it's origin is correct.
Eric - I usually capture these dialogs but didn't - it just said 'something' to the effect that two smtp gmail servers were in conflict.
So, I'm going to go and redo this, change to IMAP first and then capture any dialog that comes along.
Thank you and wish me luck .

  • Can't reply or forward gmail in Mail 6.0 (only write!)

    After having done some SMTP-server editing on my MacBook Pro I have problems with Mail 6.0 using Mountain Lion.
    I've 4 accounts connected to the application of which 2 are gmail accounts with IMAP.
    The problem is that after the editing I can't reply or forward any mails using the gmail accounts, only write new messages with them!
    I've tried a few things. Clean OS install, Time Machine restore and different account settings from the web.
    None of them seems to work. As of now I either have to send through my web browser, iCloud or an Exchange account.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Also having email issues.  I used to be able to recieve and send mail through our outlook server.  Now I receive messaes, but cannot send.  It immediately reports it got an error trying to send and the message is stuck in my Outbox.  I tried dropping the user account and recreating it.  Interestingly, when I filled out all the login data, it said it could not verity my outgoing mail settings.  I did have an error.  I fixed it, and when I saved, it saved fine.  However, I still cannot send emails.  I got this phone to use for work, and this is killing me.

  • My gmail is forwarded to my "mail" on my Mac.  I now have over 14000 emails in my "all mail" in gmail on my mac.  When I try to delete them, they keep coming back.  They are not on the gmail server any longer either.

    My gmail is forwarded to my Mail on my Mac.  I now have over 14000 emails in the gmail "mailbox" because I can not delete them.  When I do, they just come back.  Frustrated ...

    This is a Gmail issue.
    It is not possible to delete something from Gmail over IMAP: Gmail doesn't let you do this.  When you "delete" something from Mail, it "deletes" it from the Mac.  However, if you show the "All Mail" folder, you will see ALL your email in Gmail.
    There are 2 solutions to this:
    1)  If you go to your Gmail web account, you can select which Gmail labels are shown over IMAP.  You should disable "All Mail" so you won't see the folder in Mail.
    2)  From the Gmail web interface, you can actually permanently delete emails.  Go ahead and delete them there and they will be gone forever from Gmail, and from Mail.
    This is not something Apple can address.  It's how Gmail implements IMAP, which is totally nonstandard.

  • Forwarding all Apple mail individually to a Gmail account?

    How can I forward all Apple Mail messages individually?
    If I select all messages and go to forward, they all get forwarded in one huge email.
    I just want to forward each message individually to my Gmail account, but not do it one message at a time.

    Hi there,
    Not really an exact answer to your question, but I think this will help you back up or make things available via Gmail if that is your goal.
    Mozilla Firefox web browser has the ability to have extensions installed, one of these is called Gmail Space. This enables you to upload any files from your computer (Mac and Windows versions available) to your Gmail account area(2Gb as standard).It has a simple drag and drop interface, similar to FTP software.

  • 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.

    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

  • I set my gmail to forward to iCloud mail will it send mail

    I set my gmail to forward to iCloud mail.  Is it possible so that responses to email will automatically respond with my gmail address as the sender or will it default to iCloud?  Thanks

    Hello there dinadinadina,
    It sounds like you have modified the password settings for your Gmail account after changing the password. Thats where I would have started too. Next I would restart the device and test it one more time, and then remove and add the account again in Settings:
    Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
    Restart your iOS device.
    Delete the affected email account from your device.
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap the affected email account.
    Tap Delete Account.
    Add your account again.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • How best do I leave Gmail for Mail?

    I've decided I want to take the plunge and leave Gmail for Mail, using my iCloud account. Why? I've lost trust in Google (incl. their search bias, how they handle my privacy, and how they treat the end-user as a comodity to sell rather than a customer to serve). I'd love advice on the best way to swap over. I've done a bit of researching and can't seem to nail the answers to my questions. Your help + advice on any of the items below would be much appreciated. And if you think there's a better way I should be asking the question, please let me know.
    Here's what I'm looking for especially:
    I use Gmail's labels a lot. What's the best way to get the same effect in Mail? Smart folders? (I do wish smart folders synced to iCloud.)
    I have a lot of Gmail labels. What's the best way to export from Gmail without getting oodles of duplicates? Forwarding folder by folder would be time consuming + lossy, and stripping the labels would be counterproductive. Are those my only options?
    I use a lot of Gmail filters. Mail rules seem even better, but is there any way to automate transfering the filters to Mail?
    I use Gmail 'send mail as' with a collection of non-gmail addresses (from my domains). Is there any way to use my iCloud account to send from a non-iCloud address? Or, is my only option to sign up with a different webmail service in order to send from my alternate addresses in Mail? 
    I have my own set of pre-defined Gmail keyboard shortcuts. Do I just need to tough it out and learn the Mail shortcuts, or is there a good, free/inexpensive app for adding shortcuts to Mail? And no, I don't mean through SysPrefs (I know how to do that ). I mean Gmail style single-letter shortcuts, like 'r' for reply.
    Tips for converting Gmail Contacts to Address Book.
    If you've made the switch, I'd also be interested to hear your experience! I'd really like to get Mail up and running sooner and rid myself of Google.

    1: Smart folders won't sync between devices. But you can create regular mailbox folders under the icloud imap folder or at the icloud website which will stay synced.
    2: The best way I see to do the labels is to create the gmail account in Mail. Set it to show those labels in imap in the labels setting section at the gmail website. All your gmail folders will appear under gmail's imap folder in Mail's sidebar. Then you will have options to export or just move the messages from one mailbox to another. I think I would just create a new mailbox under iCloud, then select all the messages from one gmail folder and right click to move the messages to the iCloud folder. Seems it would be the easiest way.
    3: I don't think it is possible to transfer your rules from gmail to Mail. Rules should be very carefully constructed in Mail paying much consideration to the order they are placed. Simplify it as best you can and test it. In Mail, rules only will apply to incoming messages which may be different than what gmail does.
    4: iCloud does not have the option to send other email addresses and retain their identity like gmail does. Best I can say on that is to create the accounts of the other addresses in Mail seperately with their own SMTP servers to send from.
    5: No comment.
    6:You can go to the gmail website and export your contacts.
    Or, open up the AB on the computer and go to preferences. Open the Accounts tab. Select On My Mac in the list and check the box to sync Google contacts. Put your google sign in and password. Your Google contacts should be created on the computer. You can then select all the contacts in google and drag them to iCloud to add them. Once done, deselect the google contact syncing.

  • Mail downloading gmail sent mail?

    This could be a gmail thing and not a .mac but I can't find a setting in gmail that seems to account for this action.
    I check my gmail with Mail and only occasionally use it to send stuff but when I do, at the end of the day, Mail seems to download a CC of the mail that I've sent (which I've not actually CCd or BCCd to myself). Does anyone know if this is a mac preference that I cant turn off somewhere?

    Not sure what you mean. If those messages are being sent using Gmail’s webmail interface (which you haven’t made clear), this is normal Gmail behavior and Mail has no bearing on it.
    Gmail POP access doesn’t work like a normal POP mail server would. Here are some of its idiosyncrasies (#4 could be what you’re observing):
    1. Messages downloaded by any conventional POP mail client are marked as downloaded at the server (but not as read on the web), and no longer available to either the same or any other POP mail client.
    2. To make already downloaded messages available for POP access again, you must go to Gmail’s Settings > Forwarding and POP page, select Enable POP for all mail, and click Save Changes, which causes everything (and I mean everything) still on the server to be downloaded again.
    3. The Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings have absolutely no effect on the messages stored on Gmail’s server. Gmail ignores any requests to delete messages from the server made by a POP client. What happens to the messages on the server after a POP client has downloaded them is determined by Gmail’s Settings > Forwarding and POP > When messages are accessed with POP setting alone. In the case of Gmail (and only in that case), I recommend turning OFF Remove copy from server in Mail, so that Mail doesn’t even try to remove any messages from the server, regardless of whether you do actually want already downloaded messages to be removed from the server after some time or not.
    4. Messages sent using the web interface will be downloaded by your POP mail client as if they were received messages. Although this may seem weird, it's good because it allows archiving all messages locally in Mail, regardless of how they were sent — as long as you don't access the same Gmail account with more than one POP mail client, that is. You can set up a rule in Mail to automatically route those messages to the appropriate Sent mailbox (or to any other mailbox for that matter) if that's what you want.
    5. Messages sent using a POP/SMTP mail client such as Mail are also treated as if they were incoming messages for POP purposes, just as in #4. What prevents them from being downloaded is that Gmail marks them as already downloaded immediately. Since they’re on the server nonetheless, already sent messages would be downloaded together with all the other messages on the server if proceeding as described in #2.
    6. A particular case of #5 are messages sent to yourself. Instead of putting a copy of the sent message in the server’s Inbox and making it available for download, both the sent and the “received” message on the server are actually one and the same, and hence, cannot be downloaded via POP for the reason explained in #5.
    7. Gmail allows POP accounts to be set up in a special way that avoids some of these issues while introducing others. If you only need POP access to the last 30 days of mail, you may configure Mail in “recent mode”, as described in Using POP on multiple clients or mobile devices. Configuring the account this way would allow Mail to download messages marked by Gmail as already downloaded (and download messages sent to yourself in particular), but it would also cause all sent messages (not just messages sent to yourself or through webmail) to be downloaded as if they were received messages.

  • Cant send gmail from Mail

    hi
    sorry for the rather basic question. i can receive but cannot send messages, using gmail, in Mail. my outgoing server was stmp.gmail.com, then i looked up the question in these forums and someone said they could not send with stmp.gmail.com but could with stmp.googlemail.com, so i did that and it worked, but just once. now it doesnt work again. i have it on port 465, because that's how myThunderbird has it setup and it works on there. can anybody tell me what im doing wrong? thanks.

    Log on to the GMail webmail, click Settings, then Forwarding and POP/IMAP. At the bottom, click Configuration Instructions. On the next page, click Apple Mail 3 (Leopard). The correct settings are given there.

  • Forwarding gmail to icloud @me address

    Hi, I have a little problem. I have successfully setup my iCloud on mac with a new @me address which I plan to use as my primary address from now on. Before I have used my gmail address which is included in my apple id as well. I wanted to forward all my gmail incoming mails to the new iCloud email address but when I send a confirmation code to my new iCloud address no message arrived. I have tested my new @me address and it is able to receive emails. Also I tried in gmail to setup another email address as my forwarding address and it worked too. But somehow it doesnt want to work with my @me address in iCloud. As if iCloud was able to recognize that I want to link my gmail to it and it just wont receive an email with the confirmation code. Do you have the same problem or any suggestions of what am I doing wrong?
    Thanks!

    great, push notifications doesn't work for iCloud mail now either so...great:D

  • How can I automatically forward incoming e-mails in my mailbox?

    I would like to forward my incoming mails to my other e-mail address. How can I arrange this?

    Some mail services include this feature in their settings, such as Gmail. However, in some other cases, you might need a program to check your mail and forward it, which means trusting a program or server with your login.
