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!

Unable to create new email from Gmail account in Mail

I just installed gmail to retrieve messages within Mail: I can receive gmail messages and reply to gmail from Mail. However, I cannot create and send a new message in Mail using my gmail account; when I do I get the following error message:
Enter Password for Account
smtp.gmail.com:xxxx[account name]
The SMTP server "smtp.gmail.com" rejected the password for user "xxx[account name]"
Please re-enter your password, or cancel.
No matter how many times I add it correctly and click OK, the same message returns.

That is what I used to set up my gmail account in Apples Mail App before your post. Those instructions say that when you click on the Advanced Tab that the port will switch to 995 - which it did for me. I do have a minor problem though. Is there any way to prevent emails sent from Mail via gmail from showing up in gmails web page? I don't really like web mail whatsoever!

After installing Mavericks Acrobat reader stopped working, Skype stopped working, lost a bunch of e-mails in my gmail account in Mail. Anyone has a fix? I can't open PDF files anymore...

Do a backup.
Take notes of all account information or take screen shots. You may need to set the accounts up again. Quit Mail.
Copy the line below.
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Select Go/Go To Folder from the Finder menu bar. Paste the line into the window. You won’t see it.
Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.
Information learned from Linc Davis.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library Directory in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion & 10.8 Mountain Lion
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Cannot add a gmail account to mail

My new Macbook Pro 13" laptop arrived the other day and I have not been able to add my gmail account to mail (other mail providers have worked - outlook etc).
I used an application specific password (as I had 2fa enabled) and then I disabled 2fa and tried my normal password. The following happened on both instances.
I select 'Google', type my gmail address into the correct field and my password into the correct field. As soon as I press 'Set Up' both fields clear. I re-enter the information and try again, both fields clear upon pressing 'Set Up'. No error messages or anything.
Please help, what am I doing wrong? Like I said, I've successfully added other accounts. It just seems to be gmail.

Copy the forwarding and privacy settings in the account that worked on your primary account. Start by making sure IMAP is enabled.
This is Google's info about setting it up: https://support.google.com/mail/troubleshooter/1668960

GMail account in Mail Receiver Adapter

Guys,
I'm trying to configure a gmail account in mail receiver adapter. Checking in the internet, I've found the smtp server information:
Address: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 587
Security: TLS
So I set the address in receiver mail adapter as smtps://smtp.gmail.com:587/. I'm using smtps:// as sugested in SAP Note 856599, to use SSL encryption in the SMTP server. However, it doesn't say anything about TLS encryption.
Though the audit log of the message in the adapter engine in Message Monitoring has status Successful (meaning it succesfully connected to the mail server), I never got the e-mails.
Any sugestions?
Regards,
Henrique.

Guys,
I tried this scenario again and was even able to make the message reach Gmail SMTP server (using port 465).
However, even though I'm able to receive the message at receiver e-mail, I'm having an error message logged in audit log, and thus the message is set to retry. I think it is due to some SSL/TLS incompatibility.
The error message is "<b>failed to send mail: iaik.security.ssl.SSLException: Record version mismatch: 32:31</b>"
Has anyone seen this before?
Regards,
Henrique.

Having Issues with More than 1 Gmail account in Mail

I successfully added my 2 Gmail accounts to Mail in OS X and only one account required an "application-specific password", which was actually extremely easy to figure out. The other Gmail account that I added, it accepted the regular password I would use if accessing this Gmail account from any web browser. The problem lies in the fact that for the account that required the "application-specific password" allows me to select all options to Sync (ie. Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Messages, and Notes). However, the account that only required my regular password will only allow me to select "Calendars" and " Messages". If I click "Mail" or any of the other unchecked options, they immediately uncheck themselves. Any I totally overlooking something or can anyone possibly help me out?

mea culpa!
I forgot to change the description for the second (new) IMAP account.

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.

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!

Mavericks Gmail account - new mail showing up in Archive but not in Inbox

For a Gmail account, new mail seems to be showing up in the "Archive" folder for that account (which seems to be mapped to Gmail's "All Mail").
However it isn't showing up in the Inbox for the account.
The settings seem identical to another Gmail account where mail is showing up in the Inbox.
Any thoughts of what I might do to get these mails to show up in the Inbox?
Thanks,
Doug

I don't know. I've given up for now and am using Mailplane. I will be doing a write-up on it, but it seems to be working much better than Airmail even.
The funny thing about using Mailplane, which is a lot more directly connected to Gmail than any of the other clients, is that for the first time I'm seeing that even the iOS Mail app, which I thought had no problems, is actually lagging quite a lot behind the actual Gmail contents!
I think Mail.app is hopeless at this point. Maybe it's good if you want to transfer an an entire IMAP set of folders between accounts if you are migrating (as is Thunderbird). But basically it's become extremely unreliable under Mavericks. I can't believe Apple let it out of the door.
