Gmail and Yahoo with Apple mail problem

Hi, I read Mail help, wouldn't help. I tried many times but couldn't get my gmail and yahoo accounts set up in Mail. what's exactly the Incoming Mail Server of Gmail and Yahoo, and the Outgoing mail Server of these two? How about Hotmail? Every time it shows Not responding. What's the Account Type of Gmail and Yahoo?
Thanks in advance!
ZMU

Hi There
For Gmail setup using apple mail use this guide
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13275
POP access on yahoo accounts is not free. A yahoo mail plus account is needed.
As far as I am aware Hotmail does not allow any POP access at all. I couldn't find any specific information on POP access in Hotmail's help site.
Hope this helps

Problem with gmail not working with apple mail..

Hi,
i'm trying to set up a gmail account to the apple mail program on mac (still works in iphone and ipad). after many diffrent approaches,
i think i have all the right setnings. But i still cant connect to the google IMAP, both with or without SSL.
i guess perhaps that the problem could be within the google settings.
does anyone have another solution i could try?

it dosn't work.. have tried that at least 5 times..
this is what i get:

OS Update 10.9.1 did NOT fix Gmail syncing issues with Apple Mail App?

Is it just me? Or is anyone else having the same issues of gmail still NOT syncing accross iPad and Mac Mail app in spite of the "update/fix" to OS? My mail on my three Macs and one iPad are still never synced corrctly. When I try "syncronize all mail boxes" in the mail app of the mac, it does not work.
I look directly at my Gmail online thorugh Safari on the Google site and see I have 2 emails in my IN box. Yet on one Mac it has 15 (13 of ehcih were deleted several hours ago). On another Mac it has 18. On the iPad it has it right as that is where I begain looking at end editing email today.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Mike

Gmail account IMAPed with Apple Mail. Apple Mail Inbox now empty! Where would the messages go?!?

I just synced up (IMAP) my Gmail account with Apple Mail. My apple mail inbox is now empty! Where would the messages go?!?

There is a better forum for issues with iCloud.
Apple has a couple tech note articles to help with email, and with gmail as well.
Try there.

Gmail with Apple Mail problem: inbox label in the trash folder

I am using Gmail with IMAP In Apple Mail (3.6), after I deleted a mail from inbox, it correctly move the mail to Trash.
However, when I check it in the Trash folder in my web Gmail, there is a inbox label appear on every mail that I deleted from Apple Mail. Does anyone know how to deal with this issue?
thanks,

Calendar: iPhone calendar syncing between Gmail and Yahoo! Apple ID

Having a problem with sharing calendars between two iPhones (5C to 5S).
My wife shares her calendar with a business partner, and they both shared a calendar on their previous iPhones (both 4S). When they up upgraded their phones to 5 (my wife has a 5C and her business partner has a 5S) and iOS 7, their calendar sharing changed. Here's a quick description of the issue:
- if my wife (with an @gmail.com Apple ID) creates an event on her phone and invites her friend, her friend (with an @yahoo.ca Apple ID) does not receive the invitation in the calendar inbox, but she receives an email in her yahoo.ca inbox. If she tries to follow the link in the email to join the event, it opens a safari window and asks her friend to sign in to Google calendar, which never happened prior to the upgrades. And she can't sign in and join because it's not supposed to be a Google calendar event. Her not receiving the calendar invitations, and only getting them via email and not being able to add them without signing in to Google calendar is the main issue. Why is she receiving emails instead of the calendar inbox invitations?
- if my wife's business partner creates an event, it all works fine (my wife gets the invitation, can accept to join, and can see the events in her calendar on her phone.
I've tried several of the fixes for not being able to send and receive calendar invitations, and made sure receiving in-app notifications was turned on in iCloud on my end (currently waiting for business partner to confirm the same).
Prior to the upgrades, there was no issue with sharing. I'm not sure if it's because all calendar sharing has to go through iCloud, which I am currently setting up on both phones (and may render this post moot). Just wanted to know if anyone has experienced something similar with the receiving emails and not the inbox notifications.
Thanks!

Are all the devices set to actually sync calendar entries to iCloud? If any of them are set to sync with some other service (gMail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) while some of them are set to use iCloud then they can not sync. Or if they are set to iCloud but only set to sync say contact and bookmarks then they will not sync. They all have to be set to iCloud and they all have to have the calendar option selected.

Imap and yahoo with mac mail

I access my Yahoo using Mac Mail. It is set as imap and set for store sent messages on server.
The problem is this:- when I reply to an email I have received the sent message is appended to the incoming email (on the Mac) and is shown on Mac Mail.
If I send an email from scratch it goes into the sent box on the Mac.
The sent emails do not appear when I access Yahoo using a web browser so why is it not saving the sent messages on the server OR have I got imap totally wrong?
thank you,
Gordies

Last I knew Yahoo did not offer IMAP mail except only on the iPhone and to access your account via POP, you needed to pay for the service.

Gmail not working with Apple mail...again!

Hi,
My apple mail keeps putting back all my filed e-mails back into my in box!!!
Whay does the supposed best operating system in the world not support such simple things
Any why does Apple just create a business e-mail account like Google so that you can put your copany name at the end rather than I-cloud.com?
Any ideas?

Can't sync Apple Mail with Gmail and Yahoo

Hi all, I really hope you can help. I have e-mail accounts with Gmail and Yahoo, and I'd really like to set either or both of these up in Apple Mail, primarily so that it will be really quick and easy to send people photos from my iPhoto library.
I've put in the correct info and I've enabled POP and IMAP in my Gmail settings, but when I try and set up it just says "checking connection to server [email protected]" for ages and doesn't acheive anything. When I did somehow manage to set it up briefly, I tried sending a message and it just dissapeared when I pressed send, didn't appear in my sent mail either in Gmail or in Apple Mail, and was not delivered.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm really frustrated that something that should be so simple could be such a pain - setting up e-mail on my iPhone took seconds and works perfectly! Thanks,
Malinna

Problems with Apple Mail and Gmail

Hiya

Many thanks,

Hi,
I want to setup gmail as the default email.I've tried almost everything..google notifier, don't like to have gmail inbox in my mac apps inbox ( I could do that successfuly ).I hate it actually that I have to use entourage to send photos first to my gmail and then forward to friends.There is nothing wrong with mac mail or entourage but I just love my gmail...help please!
Apple needs to fix two things to make their mail more popular ( infact the features are great especially with new iLife'08 ) : one , mac mail should be free like all major email services ( I'll be happy with 4GB free space rather than 10GB which they are offering now with subscription ) and second they should create userfriendly environment to use any email ids as default.
Thx

TS1843 Not receiving apple mail. Connection Doctor says not connected to server. Yet receiving gmail and yahoo mail.

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

TS3276 I have installed OS X Mavericks on macbook pro, macbook air & iMac but I am having terrible trouble with apple Mail. I need to take all accounts online frequently OR worse I have to quit mail and restart computer. Is anyone else having problems?

I have installed OS X Mavericks on macbook pro, macbook air & iMac but I am having terrible trouble with apple Mail. I need to take all accounts online frequently OR worse I have to quit mail and restart computer. Is anyone else having problems?

I just checked to see if the update to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 solved any of the issues outlined in my previous post, and to my dismay, nothing has changed -- all of the previous problems persist.
My iMac (8) -- it's renamed itself eight times since the recent troubleshoot with the Apple tech rep -- shows up as a shared device in Finder on my MacBook Pro, but when I click on it, I cannot establish a connection using "Connect As". So I've attempted to connect using the menu "Go/Connect to Server...", using both (alternately) the iMac's name and IP address, to no avail. I get a message which reads: "There was a problem connecting to the server 'Peter's iMac (8)'. This server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
Here's what I know:
The server -- Peter's iMac (8) does exist;
The server -- Peter's iMac (8) is available at this time;
The server name -- Peter's iMac (8) -- is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
The server IP address is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
The network connection is active when I attempt to connect.
I'm convinced the problems stem directly from the OS X Yosemite update. None of this was ever remotely an issue in the previous OS X's -- any of them. This is maddening! What can be done? Apple?? Anyone???

Solution to yahoo mail setup issues with Apple mail...

There have to be a lot of people out there who have a similar setup as me --- ISP is Verizon (FIOS), and am using an iMac w/OS X, v 10.7.4, and Apple Mail v 5.2. No matter what I did, I could not get Apple mail to connect to Yahoo's smtp server... (Gmail was not working either) I spent hours on this. FINALLY -- I discovered the problem. My FIOS router/firewall was on the maximum security setting, which only allows outgoing smtp mail to port 25! Once I changed that firewall setting (which allows outgoing smtp mail to port numbers other than 25), I was finally able to connect to yahoo's smtp server! Now my Apple mail works just fine. Here are the settings I used:
Incoming mail server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
Incoming port: 995
Outgoing mail server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing port: Used "custom port" set to 465
SSL is used for both incoming and outgoing servers, with password as the authentication method.
Full email address is used wherever it says "user name" in mail preferences
* This is with Yahoo Plus mail. And before you do anything with Apple mail, you have to make sure that you enable "POP" mail in your Yahoo Plus account, under mail - settings.
I hope this saves some people the hours of time that it cost me!!

I have managed to get incoming mail to work. It is the outgoing settings that are still not working on my system. I have tried every configuration. I have gone back and forth between Verizon and Apple Care too many times to count.
Do you have to turn down the security level on the FIOS router/firewall before making these changes? If you do, it probably makes the system more vulnerable to malware, etc.
I have standard Yahoo Verizon mail. I believe you can enable it for POP mail. It certainly always worked for me before. Like you I have tried everything. I was also told that my internet connection is PPPoE versus DHCP which may also cause problems. Like you, I have spent days trying to sort this out.

Gmail no longer working with Apple Mail?

In the lasts 24 hours, without making changes to hardware or software, Mail has quit retrieving mail from my gmail accounts.
While I never receive any sort of warning about passwords or other issue, I simply get this:
And the "activity" window just stays that way... for hours with no result. The Connection Doctor window:
The Church Email account is an old one that is no longer active... I just haven't removed it from my list. But the "verify username and password" message is consistent... Strangely enough, down the same window - the SMTP connection works just fine. I can sent mail from all of my gmail accounts using Mail... Considering that the user name/password is the same for both sending and receiving mail.. SOMETHING is funky with Apple Mail.
Anybody have a guess what to check? This is frustrating.

Did you change any setting in Mail? Did you change your gmail account password? Did you activate 2-step verification on your gmail account?
If you haven't done anything from above, maybe problem is with your network... Did you try to turn off your router for few minutes and then turn ON again?
Did you install any 3rd party security apps on your Mac? Did you enable system firewall? Do you use any proxy servers? Do you use VPN?
There might be more questions...
