Gmail account and mail.app

Hi,
I have strange situation on my iphone. Mail received messages until last friday 19:38. Everything after that can not be viewed.
I have tried, removing account, and adding it again. - Nothing.
I have updated iphone to 4.3.3. - still the same
I have added another gmail account, and it work just fine.
If gmail work on my imac, why not on iphone 4? Why until that date, and for just that account?
I wrote also to google 10 minutes ago and waiting for someone to reply.
Thank's for help!

to those who may have this same problem, there are two different solutions here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=546338
one is to make some changes to the gmail POP account settings on the iphone and computer, and the other is to set up gmail as POP on the iphone and IMAP on the computer. hope this is helpful for you!

Multiple gmail accounts in mail.app via IMAP - how to delete messages

multiple gmail accounts in mail.app via IMAP - how to delete messages so that they are not stored on gmail and not in All Mail therefore either.
i know that dragging messages to the GMail.Trash folder deletes it in Gmail, but doing that for multiple accounts is a hassle!
anybody else struggle with this, solved it?

i have still not figured out a solution to this. very painful - the fact that messages iwill not be using ever again and with large attachments, just sit there in all mails and slow down mail.app for me, fill up search results with stuff i don't want to see and fill up space on the HDD. the attachments as a result often are stored 3-4 times on the HDD!
some geek here must have solved it - come on!

Mac Mail stops recieveing mail with Gmail Accounts and Google Apps

Hi,
We're having some chronic issues with our corporate Google Apps / Gmail service when used with Mac Mail. Regardless of the OSX version... when it's not one thing it's another. It's nice to see that 10.9.4 finally correctly inserts the proper, full username in the SMTP field for Google Apps users.
We still have some problems where users stop receiving mail silently in the middle of their workday. It wouldn't be such an issue, except that Mac Mail pretends nothing is wrong and suddenly the person realizes they are 3 hours behind on their emails. Magically, quitting and re-opening mail resolves the issue. Even more disturbing, is this article on apple support which lists this stupidity as the official workaround
OS X: New email messages not received until Mail is quit and reopened
I suppose one could argue that Outlook 2011's integration with gmail accounts is even worse. There's something to be said about "AirMail" being the #2 app in all the appstore currently. Clearly Apple and Google aren't putting their best foot forward to make this work.
I guess what I'm looking for is something concrete other than "Restart Mail to get mail coming in again". Is there some workaround to see the connection status to see if something is stalled?

Googles version of an IMAP system works poorly with most clients. If you are going to use it then choosing a client that works the way Google wants them too is a wise course.
Of that breed MailPlane is easily the best, AirMail is a solid second.

Unable to re-add gmail account to Mail app

I'm trying to re-setup a Google email account that I deleted from my Macbook Pro (Yosemite). I get the following message when trying to set it up in Internet Accounts:
There was a problem setting up the Mail account.
Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server "mydomain.com".
If I click OK, my contacts, Calendar, and Messages accounts are all configured. Only the Mail account isn't checked (or setup in Mail). When I try to check the box, it immediately unchecks with no error given.
I noted the following log entries in the system log, not sure if they are related:
11/9/14 1:23:38.770 PM com.apple.preferences.internetaccounts.remoteservice[3960]: Neither of UserNameIsEmailAddress or UserNameMatchesEmailAddress were set for [email protected], pretending that UserNameMatchesEmailAddress is set

(The connection to service named com.apple.CrashReporterSupportHelper was invalidated.) UserInfo=0x7fb90b4236d0 {NSDebugDescription=The connection to service named com.apple.CrashReporterSupportHelper was invalidated.}
I've tried setting the account up manually ("Add Other Account...") but that also failed. I've tried repairing within Disk Utilities. I've restart multiple times.
I've verified that IMAP is enabled for this account. I am able to set this account up in the third party app Postbox (another email client for mac) with no issues.
There must be something wrong with my local configuration and I'm out of ideas. Help?

precisely the same issue on 2 computers on 10.9 and 10.10
- the accounts are google apps for business accounts
- imap is on
- 2 step verification is off
- upgrading the 10.9 machines resulted in the same issue/error
- running onyx and cleaning out everything did nothing
- trashing mail prefs nothing
- creating new user account on the macs...same issue
- i can setup the accounts on my own 10.10 machine (ios also works for those 2 accounts)
completely dead in the water....my next step to try is to clean install the 2 effected machine....

Gmail account in mail.app

Mail will not allow me to set up gmail as a POP account. It forces an imap account. The problem is that imap insists on downloading all gmail folders from the online account including the content of the spam folder. gmail has an excellent spam filter but the imap account insists on downloading this garbage to my iMac. I don't want to see the spam, that's why it is fltered. Is there some way to force mail to set up a POP account and/or some way to keep the spam from downloading to my local iMac?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Don

IMAP is really the best way to use GMail, but I agree that having to see the Spam and All Mail mailboxes in Mail is annoying. See my recent blog post, Hiding GMail’s “All Mail” from Apple Mail, for info on hiding those so you won't have to see them.

Hotmail accounts and mail app on mac

hi guys
why does buzzword go to my mail app on os x
is their any way i can go to my hotmail account instead
thanks

Hi Andyvj.
My guess is that you're trying to "Send email to sharing list" (see screenshot) which would cause the mail app to open.
Instead, click on the "Share" button. It'll open up a dialog where you can enter email addresses. That way, Buzzword will send out emails to your list. When people respond to the sharing email, replies will go to the account you've registered with Buzzword. If you register your hotmail account with Buzzword, then replies will go to your Hotmail account.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Vbuxi.

Send from Gmail alias in Mail.app in iOS 7?

I have a Gmail account with several email accounts that forward into it. I've configured Gmail on the web so that I can send email from those accounts.
I just set up this Gmail account in Mail.app in iOS7 on my iPad.
In Gmail on the web, if I receive an email to one of the accounts that forwards into this Gmail account, and click "reply", it will automatically send use that account as the "from" address (rather than the Gmail account).
Is there any way to specify this as a preference in Mail.app on the iPad? Otherwise I have to remember to manually change the "from" address when I reply to an email sent to any of the accounts that forward to my Gmail account.

I've not heard of or experience any such issue.
Have you tried removing and readding the accounts in question?

Gmail account on Mail

Hi,
I have an POP Gmail account in Mail.app (2.1.3), that suddenly stopped downloading the e-mails. No settings changed (nor in Mail, nor in Gmail), and e-mail sending works fine. Other accounts (including other Gmail accounts) present no problems.
How can I solve this? I don't want to change for IMAP, nor do I want to have to dowload the over 2Gigs of e-mails again, having to mark hundreds of mails with flags or read/not read signs…
Thanks!

I'm sorry, I didn't explain myself correctly...
I have over 50 new messages on the account that I can only see via HTML. On Mail Account Info I can see all the messages that have already been downloaded, plus one that appears as received today, but that isn't nor on mail nor in HTML (with unknown sender)
Could it be that this message has an invalid date or is otherwise malformed and
that’s why webmail doesn’t display it where you’d expect it to be? Have you
tried searching for it using words that appear in the subject?
It may be, but now I ran the Account info, and the message that appeared before with unknown sender and wasn't in either HTML nor Mail, being the last message displayed the last one downloaded (and missing the other new over-50 messages).
I've tried deleting the last one downloaded from the server (using Account Info), and it unlocked the other "pending" messages! Problem seems solved!! =)
Sometimes Mail chokes on a message it cannot download and that prevents it from
downloading the rest as well. Solving this problem may require removing the
problematic message from the server, but I don’t think you’ll be able to do
that if you cannot even see the message via webmail. If this was a normal POP
account, you’d probably be able to remove the message from the server using
Mail’s Account Info window, but Gmail ignores any requests to remove messages
from the server made by a POP client...
I guess you were right! But indeed I was able to use Account Info to delete the message!
Sure you don’t see there all the messages on the server that have already been
downloaded, do you? What’s the date of the messages that do show up in Mail’s
Account Info window?
I could actually see all the messages that had been downloaded! Dates from 2004 until the last received message (from about a week ago).
Also, first you say “On Account Info, there is only one message sent today that
isn't downloaded”, and now you say “All the messages displayed appear as
already downloaded”. These statements cannot both be true, can they?
It was true, because the above mentioned "unknown sender" message appeared as downloaded, but it didn't exist anywhere..! And now it's completely gone, including from "Account Info".
Anyway, the key was in that choke in the last message! The tip was right, thank you for the help, and congratulations for the accuracy! =)
Hope I can help you the next time! Greetings!

Exchange and mail.app

Has anyone had this issue with a MS Exchange server? On a Mac I am able to send mail out to any email address using Outlook Web Access but using the same exchange server with a POP account and Mail.app I cannot send mail outside the school district(@af.k12.wi.us). When I try, I get "The message could not be appended to the Outbox".
Is this a problem with the Exchange server setup or Mail.app account? How do I fix it?

We also use Intermedia.net and I've yet to get mail.app and Exchange to work together. The KB and support offer very little more than what you see posted here already. The "Mail for Mac OSX" are not even close to being accurate for our dedicated hosting plan (we don't have mail.domain.com type names).
Mail.app doesn't give you much to go on either... I plug in the information and it just never connects or never goes online. If I open up the Activity window I see it try and connect but then just drops the connection. No failed password or other error message.
Anyone else have any experience with Intermedia or success with Exchange?

I need to save an online file to my ipad and then email it as an attachment from my school email? It is my college gmail account and I can't add it to my mail app.

I need to save an online file to my ipad and then email it as an attachment from my school email? It is my college gmail account and I can't add it to my mail app. This was an assignment for class to make sure we could use the BB email system.

You can use your gmail account within the native Mail app using IMAP
Make sure you've enabled IMAP in your main Gmail settings
Open the Settings app on your device
Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars
Tap Add Account...
Tap Gmail
Enter your account information, being sure to use your full Gmail address, including '@gmail.com'
Tap Next
Tap Save

Problems with Gmail and Mail App

Up until now, my gmail account (with 2 step log-in) has worked fine on my iPhone.
Today - when refreshing mail, I got a pop-up saying that the username and password were incorrect and mail couldn't be retrieved from the imap server at Google. So...I went to my account settings on google - revoked the existing application specific password for my iPhone mail and then generated a new one. When I entered it on the settings screen on my iPhone, I got the same message - u/p incorrect!
I deleted my gmail account and started over...same thing!!
Now, I have no access to mail and I can't figure out what to try next!
Anyone got any ideas?? Thanks!

Well...after entering 6 different app-specific passwords and performing 3 separate reboots...mail is back up and running. Next time I'll probably try putting my right foot in the air and spinning around in my chair 3.5 times...stupid Google!

Just set up my new ipad Air and cannot set up my gmail account into mail ?

Just set up my new ipad Air and cannot set up my gmail account into mail ?

EASY SIMPLE FIX....
The problem is Google.
I had the same problem, couldn't install Gmail on my ipad or iphone and kept saying wrong / incorrect password, error messages. Worked for hours and hours on this.
It is Google's (optional) 2-step verification system that is to blame.
Google won't tell you this, and instead, they have come up with work arounds, and even telling people to install the Gmail iPhone/ipad app, which then limites the iphone/pad functionality when not using iphone's native mail.
FIX:
Logon to Google...
Go into your Google account preferenes
DELETE your cell number used for 2-step verification...... leave it blank
(it is optional, Google does not require you use 2-step verification)
Thats it. Your'e done.
Now set up your Gmail (now called Google) as usual on your Apple device.
You don't need 2-step (optional) verification.
There are other secure ways to do this. It is an option, but Google goes out of it's way not to tell you this.
(and a great way for Google to gleen your personal information, in the name of security)
Hope this helps someone.

Importing mail from Gmail into new exchange account in Mail App

Hi, all,
I have just started a new consultancy, but until now I have been using my personal Gmail account for emails. The company has just set me up with a company email address, to use with Outlook Webmail Access and the native Mail App in my Macbook Pro (running Lion - 10.7.5).
So I have about 200 emails in my personal account which I'd like to put into my company account.
I have filtered and labelled all the emails I need in Gmail, I just need a way to get them into the company account, either using the Webmail thing, or the Mail App.Can anyone tell me a better way than to individually forward each email to the new address?
Cheers,
Ed

Hey Dave, let me see if I understand, you want to forward a certain date range of messages to your local email client, from your virtual email client(gmail)?
As far as I know, Gmail is in beta form and has been for over a year. there is currently no feature for the purpose you specified. I have submitted a suggestion to the beta team that reads as follows
"Provide a means to select multiple emails you have archived or otherwise, from any date or date range, and send them to one or more email addresses of your choosing.
This should be an option either after a search result of your email is returned, or by manually selecting (check box) the emails you have stored, to be forwarded to any specified recipients."
I'm sorry there is no current solution for your situation at this time, outside of using your mac to access your gmail account, and individually selecting each email and choosing "forward" to sent it to your mac email account. A Mac is a very powerful machine, and you can utilize the "automator" to create a custom script to handle the task for you.
I am not sure what you are wanting to do with your emails once they are in your mac account, but if the end result is to print each one, you can do that from within gmail itself. If you just want a copy of them, they are perpetually saved in gmail also, until you reach your 2 gig limit.
I think if we knew more details about what your end result or goal is, we could come up with a means to an end in either a non-traditional, or more creative way. (not to mention you get 2gig of gmail free, and you have to pay for your storage on .mac)

I have 4 email accounts in apple Mail. My mail is sending from the wrong account. even on "reply" it sends from a different account. I have 3 gmail accounts and one exchange server account. I choose which account to send from and it still sends from the same gmail account. Help.

I HAD two accounts because of this problem. I completely removed the problem account from the Apple Mail client. Guess what is happening?? That's right - Mail is still sending from the other account that no longer exists on my computer, and I have absolutely no idea how this is happening. This is incredibly frustrating. When a recipient chooses to reply to my message, quite often I won't get it now because it is going to the other account that has now been deleted from my system. COME ON APPLE!!! WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THIS???
