Gmail/Exchange Account Not Alerting to New Messages? Not Showing Notification?

So, I had an issue with my phone yesterday and had to reset everything on my phone and start from scratch again. Got everything all set up, set up my Gmail as an exchange account so that I can have my emails pushed to me, but whenever i get new emails, there's no alert tone like i used to have and there's no message showing at the top of my iphone like i used to have either. and yes ive already checked the correct exchange settings for gmail and the notification center. What can I do to fix this?

GMail IMAP account won't download new messages - still can send

Really bizzare bug...I use Mail with two accounts setup, both of which are GMail Imap accounts. Since yesterday I have not been able to download new messages for my inbox whenever Mail has been opened already.
When I first open Mail, it seems to sync correctly and get new messages, but after it's been open if anyone sends me a new message, Mail fails to download the message. Manually clicking "Get New Mail" or using the "Get All New Mail" from menu doesn't seem to help.
Rebuilding my Inbox does help in that it syncs my inbox back up, but after that it doesn't download messages like it's supposed to every minute (preference setting).
Can't think of anything majorly different that I've done in the last day, although I did install RC1 of "Things"....
I'm on OS X version 10.5.6

Has anyone actually done this and had it work? I'm a little anxious to try it given the "Jeez. Good catch..."
If this fix works, why does it work?
I'm running Mac OS 10.5.4 and Mail 3.3 on a MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo with 1GB RAM.
I'm not sure that there is a connection, but Mail stopped downloading email from all my various email accounts shortly after I added a new IMAP account. I've now got 3 active IMAP accounts (one is Gmail), an inactive HTTPMail acct (hotmail) and an inactive POP acct.
I have tried taking all accts offline and bringing all back online at once and each individually. I have quit Mail and re-launched it. I have tried rebuilding each acct's inbox. I have tired re-launching after deactivating all accts but one. None of this has worked. If I click on "Get Mail", the pinwheels spin next to each acct inbox for a second, but no new mail appears.
What is really strange that one or two emails might download from any given account on any given day, but that's it. The one or two new emails that might appear from time to time appear to do so over night - I get up in the morning to check my email and discover at most one or two new emails, even though when I check the accts by webmail there are dozens of new emails between the three accts.
God, I HATE webmail!
When relaunching or taking the Gmail acct online I sometimes get an error message that it's certificate is invalid. I find this hard to believe as Google is no penny-anty operation, but I clikc "connect" and still no new email.

Cannot setup gmail exchange account on new iphone 5, says "Cannot Get Mail"

Cannot setup gmail exchange account on new iphone 5, says "Cannot Get Mail", any advice? (I seem to have tried everything)

HT3748 Can't access gmail exchange account with iPhone 5s

Cannot get messages on gmail exchange account. Error message: cannot connect with server.

Thank for comments. I have fiddled around with oarental control and if I remove the web restriction its fine; when I put it back on its a problem. I tried adding the addresses to the acceptable list, but it must be the https that is the problem.
Instead of WebMail, setup the Account in Mail App, either POP or IMAP, then you'll have control of who they can eMail, & once you OK ot they can get/send eMails.
I have set up in Mail, but not sure how that gives me control of who they can eMail. Can you say a bit more on that?
Thanks

Is there a way to still get audible alerts of new messages without having any banners or text appear in the lock screen?

I'm trying to make sure I am doing this correctly. How do you set up alerts for both text messages and iMessages so that even when the phone is locked you will still get an audible or vibration alert as soon as the message is received? And is there a way to do this without having any text appear on the lock screen that shows who the message is from. My phone stays in locked mode most of the time but I still want to recieve alerts for new messages as soon as they arrive. I'm also concerned about privacy so I don't want any text or preview or even any information about the sender to appear on the lock screen. I just want a vibration or audible alert.

Open the Settings app > Notifications > Messages. Scroll down adn turn OFF "View In Lock Screen". You may want to consider setting Alert style to none, but this will not impact what happens when the screen is locked.

Mail not checking for new messages in IMAP subfolders

Hello everyone,
I am disappointed to see that Mail version 3.0 (912.1/912) displays the same wrong behavior as pre-Leopard versions in the way that it fails to check for new messages in subfolders on an IMAP account (it only checks the INBOX).
One has to manually open each and every subfolder and wait a few seconds to force a resync and display any new message placed there by server-side rules processing.
So far I had been using the excellent IMAPCheck (http://macapps.perniciouspenguins.com/imapcheck/) but this is no longer supported by 10.5.
Does anybody have a workaround for this? Or the power to bug Apple engineering enough to get this solved once and for all ;o)
Thanks much,
teedeepee

This problem is not solved for all cases.
This solution only applies to server-side filtering/redirecting of messages into imap folders.
I'm having trouble with client-side mail.app rules moving new messages into imap folders and not having the new message counts displayed.
This wasn't a problem in the previous version of mail.app.
Here's to hoping that Apple posts a patch to fix this problem soon...

HT2480 set up gmail-exchange account to save contacts now what to do ???? years of contacts

set up gmail - exchange account to save contacts.....now what to do ..lost phone and no support between google and exchange ????

If contacts were synced with Gmail, they are in Gmail.
Gmail does not and has never synced directly to an Exchange server.

Please tell how to do, that when I want to forward a message, a message opens in new tab, not in a new message window in thunderbird. Thanks.

Sorry, but at the moment 'Compose in a tab' isn't yet possible. You'll always get a new windows when composing or replying/forwarding a message.

When starting up Mail 7.3 does not provide a New Message window

When starting up Mail 7.3 does not provide a New Message window as it always used to? Have I inadvertently turned something off?

OOPs! My mistake; I meant New Viewer Window!
The problem is that if I close the Mail window but leave Mail running in the background, the next time I click on Mail in the Dock, I do NOT get the New Viewer Window, just the Mail Menu on the Menu Bar. If I Quit Mail in that state and then start it up from the Dock, I also get on the Mail Menu.
If, however, I Quit Mail when the Viewer Window is open, it will open up again with the New Viewer Window visible.
In the past, I got the New Viewer Window whenever I clicked Mail in the Dock.
Changing settings in System Preferences / General doesn't make any difference.
Not a huge problem, just an annoyance. Ran Permissions Repair; no change in the issue.
Thanks for your response / attempt to help. Sorry again for the mistaken Window name.

Gmail Exchange Account for Contacts

I set up my 4s contacts to come from my gmail exchange account. How do I get it to sync if I make a change in gmail on my computer? Do I need to turn the contact options off then back on? I'm sure there's an easier way!

If you set up your Gmail account as an Exchange account on the phone, any changes made should sync "automagically" over the air. You don't need to do anything.

Why every time i hit my new message or iMessage notification it goes and creates a new message to the person who sent the message

why every time i hit my new message or iMessage notification it goes and creates a new message to the person who sent the message?

Hey Rkbethel
There are two ways to resolve this for you. For the first is go and do a Reset All Settings by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. It will not delete anything on your iPhone, but it will put all settings back to default. If it does not work, the next step would be to restore the iPhone back to factory settings.

Gmail account constantly checks for new messages/spike spinning ball

We have a new macbook pro. I opened my gmail account on the computer, checking Apple's website to make sure I have all the setup items correct. It's good. Updated software so we're using OS 10.6.1.
When the Mail app is open and you check mail, the spiky-shaped ball beside the Gmail account is constantly spinning, although no new mail messages need to come in. Everything seems to work fine, but it won't stop checking/spinning for new messages. What could cause this?

Does the Internet light on your modem/router pulsate the whole time this is happening? If not, then it's probably not checking for mail; instead, whatever processes it was running may have hung up and not terminated properly, such as waiting to login or terminate the connection to the Google server.
You can set the interval at which mail checks accounts for Mail, so if you have it set abnormally short (say, every minute), try changing it to every 5 or 15 minutes.

How do I install a new Exchange account with the same address as my old Exchange account and have my bcc mail not go to the old account?

I have an iPhone 5s running iOS8 and an iPad, up to date. I have recently changed my mail server but not my email address. My "old" mail account is an Exchange account and I have also set up a "new" Exchange account with the same address but with the new mail server details. When I receive outside, third party emails they are routed correctly to the "new" Exchange account but when I bcc myself or receive other emails from any account with my domain name the emails are routed to my "old" Exchange account. I have changed the default account settings to the "new" Exchange account. Also, if I send myself an email from my laptop, through the new mail service provider, it is routed correctly on my laptop but incorrectly on my iPhone and iPad. It appears as though the Apple products have cached my email address and routing and won't look to pick up the new mail server details. I don't see anything in the mail account settings or contacts that allows me to refresh or clear the cache. The result is I now have mail in 2 accounts. If I can get the misdirected mail from the odl account to the new one I will then make the old account inactive. Anyone have any ideas on this one?
Thanks in advance for your time and ideas,
DAA

Can you set up a rule in your old account to forward mail to your new account and then delete it from the old account?

New messages not appearing in the INbox, only in 'All Mails'

Hi,
I'm using Gmail and iPhone 4.2.1. I'm managing gmail on the iphone using the Google Mail imap account.
When my browser is open, new messages are delivered to the INbox, as well as to my 'All Mail' folder, which is normal behaviour. When I feth gmail on the iPhone, same thing: I see the messages in both folders.
But, when my browser isn't open and I fetch new messages on the iPhone first, then these new messages are only stored in the "All Mail" folder and not in the INbox? Later, when I check in my browser, same thing: the fetched messages are missing from the INbox folder, and thus, I have a gap in the INbox.
How can I fix this?
Thanks!
Kris
