G(oogle)mail and Apple Mail: Cannot receive messages

Hello,
I have a googlemail account. My email address ends with "@gmail.com".
I am trying to configure the Apple Mail application in Mac OS 10.2 (Jaguar). I can send but not receive messages.
The German website says, i should set the server to "pop.googlemail.com", enter my password and use my email address "including '@googlemail.'" as username.
Well, I think that is the reason why I cannot connect to the server, my Email address is gmail not googlemail.
But whatever I enter in the respective fields (pop.googlemail.com, pop.gmail.com, pop3.....) all fails.
Stupid as it is: event copying my settings from my smartphone does not help.
What are the correct settings for me?

Thank you,
that really solved the problem.
For all German customers, who participated in the public beta test of Google Mail ("invited users") and who have an email address, which ends with "@gmail.com",
the correct servers are "pop.gmail.com" NOT "pop.googlemail.com"
and "smtp.gmail.com" NOT "smtp.googlemail.com".
Their German website is wrong in these cases. Moreother, the hint is missing, that SSL has to be activated for incoming mails as well.

G-Mail and Apple Mail problems

I have had tons of problems with my Mail app and Gmail. A window pops open and asks for my password and then does not have any effect on allowing retrieval from the server. Often times I cannot download my mail from gmail at all....have you had similar problems??
OK....
this gmail/mac mail problem caused me a ton of suffering.....but I think I have it figured out....
I think the problem stems from the fact that if you use gmail through a browser and send messages, for example if you are away from your computer, then those sent messages eventually get stored as new conversations. When you return to using your mail app the messages you sent will appear in your inbox as new mail, sent by you.
I am not quite sure how the next step happens but after a lot of fidgeting what I found was that, after erasing my inbox in gmail(this is probably not necessary), after backing up the messages, I went into gmail's preferences and in POP and Forwarding I selected allow POP for all mail. What happened next was unusual....even though the entire mail box on the gmail server was empty.....when Mail started to get the messages it showed that there were over 300 messages to download. The interesting thing was that most of these messages were sent by me to someone else and had an attachment.
After downloading and erasing all these old messages that were causing this case of Mail constipation I went into Mail preferences>>>accounts>>>advanced and clicked the box "remove copy from server after retrieving message" option and then "right away"in the pull down menu. I also clicked the "remove now" button to clear all previously downloaded messages from the server. I noticed on the Mail app that this happened almost immediatly as Mail went about removing all these old messages from the server.
Since this I have not had any problems. I believe that the problem lies somwhere in the way that Gmail creates "conversations". Somehow sent mail gets spirited away in some nook on the server and accumulates, eventually causing a case of constipation. These backed up messages somehow cause the Mail app to not be able to retrieve new messages. If you find this happening do as I have and see what effect it has. Allow your Mail app to down load all the messages it "sees" and keep an eye on what they are(this may take several hours). Often they will be old and previously sent/downloaded mail. Erase them and make sure that they are erased from the server using the advanced option in Mail preferences.
Maybe someone with a more technical background can explain this phenomenon better.
Good Luck.

"A search for Mail AND Gmail in these forums (or a
search for just Gmail restricted to this particular
forum) could have saved you a lot of time and would
have provided you a better understanding of what's
going on (note, it should be "Gmail", not "G-Mail")"
I wonder what the purpose of this reply of yours could be. If it is that something I've said has upset you, I don't know what it could be and I really wouldn't care if it wasn't because your statements could mislead other users into misunderstanding how Gmail actually works. There is nothing in the post that originated this thread that has not already been discussed recently in this forum, except for false assumptions that I'll have to clarify now.
First, choosing a setting in Preferences... > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server after retrieving message has no effect on a Gmail account, absolutely none, no matter whether you choose "Right away", or "After a month" or anything else. Yes, Mail will no longer see those messages, but neither would it had you chosen to leave the messages on the server instead. The messages are simply no longer available there for any POP mail client after having downloaded them. The messages are still on the server, however, and you can read them with a web browser. That's how Gmail works.
Second, clicking Remove now in that same preference pane in Mail has no effect on a Gmail account either, absolutely none. The reason this doesn't work is the same as before. The messages on the server have been hidden by Gmail after downloading them and POP mail clients can no longer see them, nor delete them, nor do anything with them, until you go to the Gmail web site and configure your mail account to make all messages still there available for POP download again.
Third, the only way to get a message deleted from the server with a Gmail account is to log into your account with a web browser. Now, if you want your messages to be deleted immediately after being downloaded by Mail, you can accomplish that by choosing the appropriate setting in the web account settings page -- and you are limited to the options provided there. Mail's own settings will continue to be completely and utterly ignored by Gmail.
Now, had you searched these forums as I suggested or just followed the links I provided in my first reply would certainly have saved both you and me and probably anybody else that chose to read this thread a lot of time.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.

I use Go Daddy mail for work, and I can no longer receive mail to Apple Mail, no matter what I try. Help?

My work uses Go Daddy for our mail server at work. Up until 2 weeks ago, it was connected to Apple Mail using IMAP just fine. Then I stopped being able to receive mail to Apple mail or my phone. Completely. I've tried deleting the account and re installing, with SSL and without, different ports, everything. It just won't sync, and I can't receive mail whatsoever. It's tedious going through the browser at work, and even more not being able to get emails to my phone. I've even tried sending mail, and it shows like it's sending, then does not send. It happened out of the blue. Can someone help?

I tried something similar by adding a new mail account doing the apple id etc but it worked in that it would look for mail but no mail would come even though mail still goes to my phone I was loath to delete my original account just in case the new one did not work as well. So I guess I am a little stuck now.. I hope you can help me to sort it out.
Thanks

Cannot receive mail in Apple Mail 3.6

Hi, I've just recently set up my mail in Apple Mail (my own domain through my web host Media Temple). I can send mail just fine, but I'm not able to receive mail and I can't figure out the problem! Just in case any of this is wrong (which I don't think it is), here is how my account info is set up:
Account Type: IMAP (I have to use this per my web host)
description: (my email address)
email address: ( my own domain email address)
Incoming Mail server (access domain of my webhost)
user name: (my email address)
passowrd: (correct password)
outgoing mail server (SMTP): (my own domain email address)
box checked 'use only this server'
If you know of anything I can try or fix, please let me know!

The settings you entered, while secure, are also very vague. However, you can check and make sure Mail is using the correct settings for incoming mail. To do this:
Go to Mail → Preferences… and Click on the Accounts tab.
Click your account to select it (if it's not already selected)
Click the "Advanced" tab
Confirm the proper port and security settings for that host (i.e. the proper port number; is SSL enabled; etc.)
If all is good there, try Connection Doctor (In Mail, go to Window → Connection Doctor). Confirm that Mail can connect to the IMAP server. If not, check for error messages (rejected password, can't connect to host, etc.). This should point you in the right direction for troubleshooting.

If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

How can I get a copy of my childs incoming and sent yahoo IMAP address e-mails in Apple Mail? It has to be without each being able to affect the other meaning ( if something is deleted in one it doesn't affect the other).

Thanks in advance for your help it is much needed!

How do I keep my Cox mail and MSN mail from all going into the same in box on Apple mail

I have a Imac and Mac Book. The Imac apple mail works great. I also have a Mac Book. The Apple Mail is set up the same as the Imac. The problem I have is that both Cox mail and MSN mail go into the same inbox on Apple Mail on the MacBook even though the accounts are separte. From what I see, the settings are the same as the Imac. I tried to reinstall the apple mail. No luck! Should I try again. Any ideas?

How do we transfer contacts and mails from apple mail and address book to Microsoft outlook on my mac

From Contacts, anyway (the new version of Address Book) you can export to a .abbu file and import then into Outlook. I'm not sure about Mail as I only really use Outlook...

Is it possible to highlight text in Apple Mail for incoming mails and outgoing mails?

Is it possible to highlight text in Apple Mail for incoming mails and outgoing mails?

If you mean that you wish to highlight messages from certain people or domain names, then if you select Preferences under 'Mail' (top left hand corner next to the Apple logo when you're in the mail application) and then select the right hand icon marked 'rules', then click on Add Rule and hopefully the rest is fairly self explanatory.
Best of luck
