Gmail and Mac Mail on Mac Book Pro OS Lion
I have a Gmail account
I have set this up on my Mac Book Pro in Mail
E-mails come in to Mail, I then archive the ones I want to save and then I attempt to delete them from the inbox and the sent box
The inbox then refills all the emails from Gmail
When I look online at my gmail account, it shows all the same e-mails but with "IMAP Deleted" next to it
How can I set it up, so that if I delete the emails on the Mac, they are deleted online and do not continue to refresh and repopulate?
Thanks
Andrew
My question too! I don't see the need to archive messages I want to delete. If want to archive, I should be able to archive them to a folder, which mail apparently does not do like Gmail. I much prefer archiving them to specific folders/labels instead of All Mail. I've never even liked All Mail so I keep it hidden so I can forget it is there.
If I want to delete, it is because I want them Gone, to the trash to disappear for good.
And, I want what I do in mail or on my iPhone to be reflected in my Gmail account and visa-versa. But how?
I only use Mail because I want my gmail emails backed up somewhere in case my account disappears or I am permanently locked out suddenly, like has happened to some people. If I can't get it to work smoothly, after the countless hours I've already spent playing with it trying to figure it out, I will end up just dumping Mail I'm afraid. I'd like to keep using it though because there are some things I do like about it.

My 3G unlocked iPhone is not syncing mail or contacts from my mac book pro, using Lion. I am able to get a calendars and music, only. I get the message that I need to reset the password which I have done 3x's on the phone and on the Apple server.
Good to know that, but what can I do to get the mail and contacts downloaded from Icloud onto my Iphone? I am told that the password needs to be reset and I have erased and reset it 3x's already? Should I Restore All Settings or Restore Network Settings or will that result in a situation where I have to have it re-unlocked again? GRACIAS!

I have a mac book pro running Lion 10.7.4 and every time I use Google Earth The computer crashes by lowering a black curtain and then asking me to hold the power button down until it closes and press the power button again to restart it. Can I fix this? It bugs me when I'm looking at real estate.
I really don't have an answer for that one. I guess that while trying to get things working correctly, I would use the most basic monitor I had which in your case would be the Eizon using the Thunderbolt port and adaptor.
When you boot into Safe Mode the startup is quite slow, but you should get the Apple logo and then the spinning gear below it (release the SHIFT key when it appears.) Then after a little more time you should see a gray progress bar appear below the spinning gear. When that disappears the computer will startup to a login screen. -
Hello, I have an Apple TV, and a Mac Book Pro X Lion 10.7.5 bought it on March 2012. But there is no AirPlay how is it possible? Where do i get it?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button. -
Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all?? Looks like I can set it for one but not others. All, one, or nothing
Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated. -

can anyone help me get my software installed
i need this software to work immediately because without it i am unable to work that is the programs on how i process my photographs and without it i cannot make any money
thank youThat seems to be supported only up through 10.5.7 and probably needs Rosetta for it to run.
Rosetta is not included in 10.7.
If this is the case, you may need to partition your hard drive, install Windows on it, and use that partition for your work. -

Not receiving apple mail. Checked connection Doctor. Not connected to server, yet receiving gmail and yahoo mail.
No, I have a Mac and my email connects via our pacbell account we've had for years. However, something in the Preferences/Accounts is not correct I am guessing. Also, it asks for the password and if I put it in and click save through general or viewing, it's NOT saving it and still not allowing me to get email. My husband tried reading about this through our AT&T acct and said to change the incoming server to imap.mail.yahoo.com and outgoing smtp.mail.yahoo;[email protected], but now I can't receive or send any email on my Mac. In advanced not sure if it should be Port of 465 or 900 something or other and SSL checked or not. I called AT&T and they want to take over my machine by charging $15/mos for a year to fix this. Ridiculous.
So, everytime prior to yesterday, when my husband messed around with it, I was getting a POP needs password box, typed in my password, but to no avail..Then it Keychain password popped up and assumed it was the same, but there's no way to change or modify it even using the new password my husband set up through AT&T. I am at a complete loss.
I can access mail through yahoo mail and it takes me to AT&T Yahoo Mail, but no contacts are there so needless to say this is a pain.
I appreciate any assistance you can give me so I can get back on my email as I have for 4 years.
Thanks Hackintosh...I look forward to hearing from you....you can use the email above and it will come to me through my yahoo web page....Thanks again and let me know if you need any other information. If you respond on here, I may not get the answer from you as I didn't know you responded until I came on discussions. THanks -
E51 Gmail and Yahoo mail box access
Dear All
I was trying to configure the gmail and yahoo mail accounts in the new E51 which I have bought. I have correctly configured the mail setup with the correct username and password. But I am getting an error "Invalid Mail for exchange credentials. Check credential settings". The pop up is coming repeatedly on the phone even if am not using the same.
Please help me out for the same.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
JosephHi Guys!
I'm sure by now your problems are solved. Nevertheless, let me simplify this for you. I have both my Gmail and my Yahoo mail setup on my E51 and they work beautifully. One thing you should be aware of is that while Gmail offers mobile & POP access free, you need to upgrade to a business account in yahoo to avail the same. That being said, here are the settings for each:
For Gmail:
Connection Settings > Incoming E-Mail
User name: Enter your complete Gmail e-mail address including '@gmail.com'
Password: Enter your Password
Incoming Mail Server: imap.gmail.com
Access Point in Use: Select the active data connection
Mailbox Name: Whatever you like
Mailbox Type: IMAP4
Security (ports): SSL/TLS
Port: Default
Connection Settings > Outgoing E-Mail
My e-mail address: Enter your complete Gmail e-mail address including '@gmail.com'
User name: Again enter your complete Gmail e-mail address including '@gmail.com'

What this means is that mails deleted from you phone will continue to remain on your server and will be accessible the next time you access your mail using a PC.
Retrieval Settings:
E-Mail to retrieve: No choice here. Gmail only allows you to retrieve headers first. If you feel a mail is important you can select it and download the entire message later.
Retrieval Amount: Set how many e-mails you would like downloaded
IMAP4 folder path: This is set to 'Unix path' by default. Let it be
Folder Subscriptions: No changes required here
Automatic Retrieval: Select E-mail retrieval and set it to 'Enabled'.

Retrieval Intervalet it to 5 mins if you would like e-mails to get downloaded to your phone almost as soon as they arrive (Like Push E-Mail). Else select a time interval as desired.

We use the Apple mail server to get e-mails from our gmail and comcast mail accounts. Recently we have been getting spam that claims to be sent to a gmail address, but when I check that address directly, there is no such e-mail, either in the inbox or in the spam folder. Is it possible to bypass the gmail account and send directly to the Apple mail server, spoofing the gmail address?
Maybe some info here for you about spoofing. (and much additional info)

Moving over from Mac Mail to Mac Outlook 2011
Hi All - I am in the process of moving from Mac Mail to Mac Outlook 2011. Could anyone please advise how I disable Mac Mail. I want to keep all of the old emails there but just start using Outlook 2011. I would happy for any suggestions. I am a bit wary to start trying touring over all of the emails from Mail to Outlook, I think it would be a very long process.
Sending emails from Outlook is taking a bit of time at the moment, I'm wondering if it is to do with still having Mail sitting there.
Thanks in advance.Hi Loner T
Thanks so much for your reply. I have taken all of the accounts offline. It does say that the messages are being stored on servers.
Do you know is it easy or laborious to export the mailbox? I have not done this before.
Thanks
