Getting Gmail in Apple Mail on AT&T

This issue began with release 7.0.1.
The issue is:
- using Apple Mail
- with a gmail LDAP account
- sometimes, upon opening mail, I get an error message twice indicating my username and/or password is incorrect (the second appears almost instantaneously after the first--both are open at the same time)
- this seems to occur most often when I am using AT&T with no wifi, but does occur occasionally on wifi.
- the rest of the time, the mail works fine.
In addition (and may not be related), there are many times when my phone will show no service while sitting on my desk in my home. At other times, in the same place, it will show three of four dots.
I have deleted and re-setup gmail.
I have replaced the SIM card.
Can't tell if it is an iPhone issue, a gmail issue, an AT&T issue, or is multiple issues. Any ideas?

Using Gmail with Apple Mail.

Has anyone else encountered strange behaviors retrieving your gmail through Apple Mail. The issue I'm having is it seems to pull in the last couple days worth of email every time I open apple mail to check my mail. Pretty annoying when you get a lot of email. Any suggestions?

Couldn't wait. Found it under Preferences -> Accounts -> Advanced.
I changed it from One Week (the default ? ) to One Day.
That should help.
I have my Apple Mail program set to FORWARD every message that comes into Mail to a Gmail address, and on Gmail I have preferences set to reply to all messages from the email address they are sent to, so my email that goes to Mail generates replies that look like they come from Mail.
Allows me to keep a record of all emails I receive.

How to get notes from Apple Mail to iPad Notes?

Greetings,
I can not seem to find any way to get notes from Apple Mail on my Mac to Notes on my iPad.
What the heck do I have to do?
There is no Notes sync option in iTunes.
Also, I can not sign in to MobileMe in my System Preferences. It alway says the member name or passowrd is wrong. How do I find out what my member name is? I only know my Apple ID which is an email addres, and that does not work. I am able to sign into MobileMe on my iPad.
Help

On your phone. If you have Notes turned to On in Settings>iCloud, and also had notes on the phone prior to turning on this setting, you should have two accounts in the notes app: On My iPhone and iCloud (listed as your iCloud ID).
Did you have notes on your phone prior to turn on Notes in Settings>iCloud? Is Notes turned to On in Settings>iCloud now?

Cannot add Gmail to Apple Mail in Mavericks

I cannot add Gmail to Apple Mail in Mavericks. I have tried adding it as a Google account AND as an "other" account. I have tried manually filling in the settings, using the instructions from Gmail's website:
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
imap.gmail.com
Port: 993
Requires SSL:Yes
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires TLS
smtp.gmail.com
Port: 465 or 587
Requires SSL: Yes
Requires authentication: Yes
Use same settings as incoming mail server
I have tried with both part 465 and prt 587 for the outgoing mail server. Still, it tells me, "There was a problem setting up the account."

Go to Mail->Preferences->Accounts and create an account

HT2500 Can I import my contacts from Gmail into Apple mail (Snow Leopard)?

Can I import my contacts from Gmail into Apple mail (Snow Leopard)?

That says Reset Documents and Data, not Contacts.
I want you to go to www.icloud.com, login and see how many contacts are there, because they are all the iCloud contacts. Any contacts that are not there, are not on iCloud.

ChrisK21,
Make sure your settings match up with this:

if wouldn't hurt to delete the account entirely and just re-set it up in preferences.

Gmail Google Apple Mail Set Up Problem

I have had my Gmail POP account working successfully for about a year. I recently switched my internet provider and since then I can not get Apple Mail of my Jabber iChat account to work.
The problem I get with Apple mail is: Connection Failed The server error encountered was: The connection to the server "pop.gmail.com" on port 995 timed out.
The iChat message is: Could not connect to Jabber. Could not connect to host talk.google.com
I sent many emails to Google showing them my set up and they could not help. They said I should contact my internet provider.
Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix this?
Thanks, Nick

My new ISP provider which is ERSnet.net could provide now help. I am forced to use them because of my stupid apartment complex. I miss comcast Anyway, ERSnet.net say everything Apple Mail should work but they admitted that no one at the company understands or uses Apple Computers. Their website www.ersnet.net has a section for FAQ which is pretty bad as well.

How to retrieve deleted gmail in apple mail.

During the process of deleting thousands of emails in apple mail, I accidentally deleted all the email. Can this be undone or can I retrieve those deleted emails? The trash has been emptied.

In the mailbox list, below the word "MAILBOXES" and the standard mailboxes (Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash, & Junk), you should have some lines like "SMART MAILBOXES", "REMINDERS", "RSS", "ON MY MAC", and a line with the name of each of your mail accounts. Each of those lines may have subordinate lines indented below it, or they may be hidden. Before Lion, the top-level lines would have standard disclosure triangles to their left like folders, but Lion Mail removed that visual clue in favor of a word "Show" or "Hide" to the right that appears only when you mouse over it.
The Gmail Spam folder you seek is two folders deep inside your Gmail account.
Here's my Gmail account listing:
It has 41 unread messages. If I hover my cursor over the oval with "41" in it, the oval shifts left and "Show" appears. If I click on "Show", I get this:
If I click on the disclosure triangle left of the "[Gmail]" folder, voila!
By the way, this intermediate "[Gmail]" folder is specific to Gmail, Google Apps mail sites, and other mail sites using Google's Gmail code, as is the All Mail folder. Other servers will have their own folder structure.

Gmail's Apple-Mail-To-Do's no longer appear under Reminders

I use gmail as my mail utility (set for IMAP).
Before the upgrade to Mac OS X 10.5.7, my To Do's appeared in Apple Mail under Reminders > To Do > Gmail. They also appeared in iCal. On my iPhone they appeared in the Apple Mail To Do folder. If I added a new To Do, everything synced.
The other day, all of my gmail folders temporarily disappeared from Apple Mail, however, they began to automatically re-appear over several hours. (A problem with a gmail server?) (BTW, before this occurred I noticed lots of activity under "Mail Activity", copying To Do's between gmail and my mac, even though I had no recently added, edited, or deleted a To Do.)
All is restored, except my To Do's no longer appear in Apple Mail under Reminders > To Do > Gmail. (My To Do's still appear on my iPhone under Apple Mail To Do, and they still appear in Apple Mail under Gmail > Apple Mail To Do.)
If I add a new To Do (by highlighting Gmail under Reminders > To Do, then add the new To Do) the new To Do fails to appear in my "Apple Mail To Do" folder and thus can't be viewed on my iPhone.
All I want is to be able to track a list of To Do's on my Mac (in both iCal and Mail) and on my iPhone.
Help!

UPDATE:
Hmm, well it seems to have recreated the weird folder 'ToDos.mbox (Server)' (that is the name of it on the server).
I have successfully moved my to dos from Apple Mail To Do to ToDos.mbox, so now my question is, as I have deleted Apple Mail To Do and just have the oddly named one, how do I get Apple Mail to rename it and use a more user-friendly name like it used to. Basically I just want it back to being called 'Apple Mail To Do'. (Renaming it on the server will just confuse Apple Mail again.)

GMAIL ON APPLE MAIL AND IPHONE - IMAP VS. POP

I used to have an email with my internet service provider. I switched to Verizon FiOs and needed to switch every website and contact to the new email. Its a pain. I decided to just get a Gmail account so I don't ever have to switch again.
Anyway, with the Cox account, I used to check my email on the iPhone or on my iMac. I could get an email, delete it, and then check my email on the computer hours later and it downloaded again (for editing word documents, etc.).
When I switched to Gmail, I configured Apple Mail by letting it automatically configure the account. On the iPhone, I used the Gmail automatic setup in Settings>Mail. I sent a couple of emails to the address to test it. Most all of them came to the iPhone but only some were there later on the iMac. I read online about the IMAP and POP settings but I don't really understand the differences or benefits.
Basically, in the end I want to be able to check my email on the go and delete them on my iPhone but later go home and check again to have them all there. Which settings do I need to have on the gmail server, the phone, and the computer to make this happen?
Also, is there any way to delete the annoying extra folders and "All Mail" system on the Gmail server and just use the inbox.
Thanks in advanced

Use "recent mode" on Gmail for both devices. That solves the problem. Only issue is that will cause all the emails of the past month to re-download to all your devices, so you'll end up re-deleting a huge pile of mail. But once that's done-with, all your devices can all access the mail fresh from now on.
Look for instructions in Gmail help. Basically it means adding the text "recent:" to your POP login info, as in recent:[email protected] instead of just [email protected]

Retrieve Gmail in Apple Mail

Have a gmail account with my own domain name. i want to get the mail in Apple Mail. It won't set up. I get an authorization password from gmail but when I put it in it isn't recognized. I can send mail in the account but can't receive - I have sent test messages. I have Outlook for Mac on the computer and I think there is a setting in gmail or somewhere that Outlook is my default mail client which I can't figure out how to turn off. When I send a test message it appears in Outlook but not in the Apple Mail client which I suspect is being caused by the outlook-is-my-default setting.

But with Outlook it works, yes?
So then, enter the very same details into Apple Mail's account settings as you find them in Outlook. Let me repeat:
See that you have Outlook's Preferences open while doing so, and there the Accounts window with all the details of the Gmail account, so you can "copy" them properly.
Make sure the Gmail account will be an IMAP account, not POP.
Then just make sure that fields of the same or very similar names, check boxes, etc, in Apple Mail's account settings end up being the same as in Outlook's account settings.
You should be able to access, amend or change all settings and parameters anytime, even if the initial "automatic" setup wasn't successful.

Gmail on iPhone4 not syncing with Gmail on apple Mail

Hi. iPhone newb here.
I have a gmail account that I access through apple mail. I just got a new iPhone4 and set up my gmail account on it. My problem is that the two don't seem to sync up. When I read or delete an email on apple mail on my home computer, it doesn't get marked as read or deleted on my iPhone.
Is there a way to resolve this? It's annoying to have to manually keep them both consistent.
Much thanks in advance,
Steve

You need to change your Gmail settings from POP to IMAP (on the Gmail website). AFTER you have made this change, delete the Gmail account from your iPhone and then re-add it. You will need to do the same delete/re-add on your laptop.
After doing these steps, your iPhone, laptop, and webmail should all be in sync with each other.

Can no longer access Gmail from Apple Mail in OS 10.7.5

Apple Mail stopped playing nice with my Gmail account.
I have IMAP enabled. All accounts are online. But there's no communication between Mail and Gmail. Whenever I try to update my mail, I get the following error message:
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “imap.gmail.com” on port 993 timed out.
Incoming mail server: imap.gmail.com
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): gmail
It's almost as if Apple Mail thinks I'm offline.
What can I do?

Double-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
imap.gmail.com
Launch the Network Utility application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Network Utility in the icon grid.
Step 1
Select the Lookup tab and paste into the address field (command-V). Press return. Post the output that appears below – the text, please, not a screenshot.
Step 2
Select the Ping tab and do the same. Please enter the same input as you did in Step 1. Don't use the output of Step 1 as input to Step 2.
Important Note
Some web browsers and mail clients will automatically convert a domain name such as "www.example.com" to a clickable URL, such as http://www.example.com. That will interfere with the test. If necessary, edit the input in the Network Utility window to remove any added characters.
