Gmail doesn't work with Mail

It's been long time that Gmail doesn't work properly with Mail application. I don't have 2-step-verification process, so I do not understand why. It happens with Hotmail as well.
Mail says:
The Google IMAP server “imap.gmail.com” is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable. If you continue, you might not be able to receive messages.
Pleas, can anyone help me?

HI,
These are my settings for Google STMP.
Port 587 using SSL and Password Authentication.
As mentioned before at Google I have no 2 Step verification set but I do have the Less Secure app setting set.

  • I have an AT&T Email Account that doesn't work with Mail for Lion

    I've had this email account with AT&T for a few years and it has worked with Mac Mail with no difficulty for a few years. Recently the account has been able to receive messages. Every time I hit Get Mail it asks for a password. I have installed all the latest updates through Software Update. I have a Mac Mini with OS Lion. After struggling for awhile, my inbox eventually comes in. I have reset all the incoming and outgoing POP Server accounts, as well as used the Webmail version through Yahoo.com and it all works fine. What is going on and how can I continue to use this program.

    Go to the AT&T support site and verify that you have setup Mail with the correct confuguration, i.e., ports, server names, etc. Otherwise, you haven't provided enough details to be of much assistance.
    Rcommend that you get a .me account and start using IMAP email in lieu of POP3. You can then configure your existing AT&T account to forward all email to your .me account.

  • Gmail doesn't work with Yosemite on Mac mail

    Since upgrading my Macbook Pro to Yosemite, I have had continual problems with both my gmail accounts via Mac Mail.  I also have Outlook and a ISP mail that I access via Mac Mail and there are no issues with both of these.
    I also have my gmail accounts on my iphone and iPad and HAVE NOT upgraded and have no issues with gmail on these devices.
    Whilst some may think it's gmail (continually asking for stupid 2-step verification when it has been disabled), I suspect it's the way that Apple is 'speaking' to gmail??  I'm not sure....I'm no techo. Just a hunch.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to rectify? I have googled the issue and solutions posted only seem to address gmail, not gmail AND Yosemite issue, so nothing works.
    As it's now causing my mail to crash I have removed gmail from my Macbook.
    I dare not upgrade software on my iphone or iPad !!

  • N96's Mail Applicattion doesn't work with mail add...

    Hi all
    I've been using N95 & N95 8GB for 18 months, now I've moved to new N96 and my corporative e-mail address is 31 characters one.
    N96 Mail Software lets me to fill up the 31 characters but once I came out of the Mail Application and get into again only the first 30 characters are showed (the last "m" of the .com has disappeared). As mentioned I used N95 & N95 8GB and I could use the Mail Application without any problem.
    Probably the Nokia SW developer has decided to cut the length of this field, but in my case I cannot change the corporative e-mail address. Is it possible to generate in the new firmware a patch for this??
    Thanks to all
    Chicho

    If Mail complains that it timed out on port 0, that means there is something wrong with your network and/or account settings.
    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
    Also, try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc., and see whether that makes a difference.
    As to the logs, Mail doesn’t make it easy to get them. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console and do either File > Open Console Log, or File > Open System Log, or both, so that Console displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
    Apparently, you can tell Mail to provide detailed log information as described in the following article (I haven’t tried it myself):
    Enable detailed Mail.app logging options
    Also, Mail comes with a Turn On Logging AppleScript that I haven’t tried either, but that was discussed in the following thread:

  • Correct password doesn't work with Mail interface, but works with web interface.

    Mail claims "The POP server “mail.nykayak.com” rejected the password for user “valerie”, yet when I log in through the web interface the password works. All other accounts work. Has anyone experienced this and found a solution?

    Mackie, Welcome to the discussion area!
    On your iMac G3, go to the AirPort menu and select the network name. It will prompt you automatically for the correct type of wireless encryption password.
    I wouldn't trust selecting an option from Internet Connect.
    In AirPort Admin Utility, what type of wireless encryption have you enabled? If it is WPA2 the iMac G3 won't be able to connect.
    Also ensure that your AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) is configured to work in an 802.11b compatible mode. The iMac G3 is only 802.11b.

  • GMail is not working with Apple Mail App: Login correct, says "no e-mails"?

    HI everyone,
    I just switched from my iPhone 5 to a new iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.1.2. After I put the latest backup to the new device everything was set up fine. Unfortunately Google Mail doesn't work with the Apple Mail App any more.
    I have two factor identification switched on and use the 16 digit long password which I set up with my Google account. The configuration details work (login, password, server details), the account is accepted, no notifications tell me that anything is wrong. The thing is, that the Apple Mail App doesn't show any mails. Also it's impossible to send any emails. The strange thing is, that the GMail App works fine.
    I really tried everything: deleted the account setup, changed mail server from m.google.com to smtp.google.com, set up a new app specific password through two factor identification... no emails appear!
    With my iPhone 5 I was a lucky user of push email, thanks to Microsoft ActiveSync. So I keep trying to configure the GMail account as an Exchange account (I know that Google switched off ActiveSync some time ago, until now everything worked fine with my iPhone 5, even push mail worked!).
    Does anyone of you know how to solve the problem? I don't like the GMail App and really prefer using the iOS Mail App..
    Thanks in advance!

  • What apple email program works with OSX 10.6.7?  I have Apple mail 4.4, but it doesn't work with OSX 10.6.7?

    What apple email program works with OSX 10.6.7?  I have Apple mail 4.4, but it doesn't work with OSX 10.6.7?

    The reason you're seeing this is that you have somehow gotten an outdated copy of Mail on your system.  One possible reason is that you moved Mail out of the Applications folder (or into a sub-folder inside the Applications folder), in the process preventing it from being updated.  You'll want to put Mail back directly in the Applications folder if this is the case.  The other possibility is that you have somehow installed, restored or copied an old copy of Mail on your machine.
    In either case, as long as Mail is in the right place, applying the combo updater will update Mail to the current version.  Software Update cannot do that because Software Update sees that you are using the current version of the OS and believes there is no need to update, while the combo updater "forces" installation of all updated files.

  • Reply sometimes doesn't work in Mail 3.0

    I upgraded to Leopard by doing an archive and install, and everything seem to be working great! However, the 'reply' function quite often doesn't work in Mail. If I quit and restart the program, then the reply is saved under "drafts", but doesn't contain any text - including the wording of the email I was trying to reply to. I get the following error-messages from the console:

    I've been having the same problem (though I haven't looked at the console yet to verify the same exact error).
    There doesn't seem to be a situation that I can identify to cause the problem (i.e. waking from sleep mode), so it's difficult to reproduce consistently. The error seems to happen randomly. Last night I was getting the error every time I sent a single message. So I'd create and send a message, and then the next message I'd try to create or reply to, I couldn't. I'd have to quit Mail and start it again to gain functionality.
    When I do have the problem where the compose window isn't created when replying, I also can not start a new message, note, or forward a message. Basically, no new windows can pop up besides the windows that are already there in Mail. When I quit mail, every window I tried to create by replying, making a new message, or forwarding, appears in the draft folder, just before the program closes. Then, the next time I open Mail all the windows appear that I tried to create, with no text in them. Very strange. Looks like this poster has a similar problem.

    I'm curious if this is a bug, or something our machines just can't handle? I see that we all have very similarly spec'd PowerBooks.

  • IPhone 5 doesn't work with Mac OS 10.5.8 - do I need to ugrade to 10.6 and then upgrade to Mountain Lion or can I just upgrade to Mtn Lion right away?

    iPhone 5 doesn't work with Mac OS 10.5.8 - do I need to ugrade to 10.6 and then upgrade to Mountain Lion or can I just upgrade to Mtn Lion right away?

    At least to 10.6.8. You must do this to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

  • Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro

    Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro when plugged in with a dvi to mini dvi cable. Any ideas what to do to make it work? I lugged the 23" 2500 miles into the wilderness and I need help

    Okay, here's an update: the DVI to ADC adapter does work with the Apple displays that I have tried, but it won't work with the Formac. I have tried multiple time to contact them, but to no avail... they don't even respond to threats of posting my opinion of them, which is this:
    DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM FORMAC! They make quality products, but their customer service is a big time joke! They won't take care of you.

  • Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac. Tried every settings, My iCloud only works with Mail.app

    Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac or any other Mac. My iCloud will only work with Mail.app. All the clients I tried work perfectly well as long as I sign in with somebody else's iCloud account. But mine won't work no matter the client (Postbox, Unibox, Airmail...) and no matter the computer.
    I can access my account on iCloud.com, but I can't use email clients without getting error messages prompting me to check my password or login.
    I was able to use those clients in the past but a couple of months ago I got logged out of Airmail and the issue started just like that!
    I tried every possible mail server settings including the following:
    IMAP information for the incoming mail server
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
    Port: 993
    Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not [email protected])
    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
    Port: 587
    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, [email protected], not emilyparker)
    Password: Your iCloud password

    Those are the correct settings, and they work with any email client that supports Imap.
    Try again.
