Gmail in Apple Mail. Messages to self don't go to inbox..

Hi. I have a gmail account that I access using Apple Mail. It is IMAP
I frequently CC or Blind CC myself on outgoing messages.
Most of the time the messages appear in my inbox when I check mail. Sometimes (1 out of 3) they do not appear in the inbox. They do appear in the Gmail>All mail folder and in Gmail on the web.
Any ideas?
Thanks

The problem is that Gmail moves "deleted" messages to the All Mail category. The trick to avoiding having 3 copies of a message in your client (Apple Mail, iPad, iPhone, etc) is to configure Gmail's IMAP settings. Go to Settings-->Labels and look at the right side where it offeres a series of checkboxes labeled "Show in IMAP". You can turn the various labels off or on to control which messages ("mailboxes") your IMAP client app will see. At a minimum, you probably want to have just Inbox, Sent Mail, Drafts, and Trash. Maybe Spam if you want to manage that on your cllient in addition to the Gmail web interface. The key one to turn OFF is the "All Mail" label.
This is not a new "problem" in Lion... Gmail's IMAP has been this way all along. But I do believe that Apple Mail in Lion auto-configures itself for Gmail so perhaps you're now seeing the problem for the first time.

Problems exporting historic Apple Mail messages to Gmail

Hi folks,
I am in the process of leaving Verizon for another provider and wanted to use the opportunity to move to Gmail. I would like to export roughly 4,000 historic messages that I have on Apple Mail 2.5 to Gmail. I have set up Gmail on Apple Mail as an IMAP account as I think this is necessary for the export process (though going forward I will generally want to use the Gmail site to access email rather than using my Apple Mail).
While it was simple to import my verizon.net emails to Gmail, I am stuck on how to get the many older messages on Apple Mail exported.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? (And please be very specific! For example, though I generally have been informed that I should be able to "drag and drop" the historic messages, it is not at all clear to me what folders I need to access to do so, or how and where to drag them.)
Sorry to be so dim on what seems like not a terribly difficult question!

It is possible to do this without external tools, but it is a tremendous faff. See

The easiest way, however, is to use Mail Exporter Pro https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mail-exporter-pro/id675131616?mt=12 which will convert the email for you from one format to the other, and comes with an excellent manual.
A third possibility is to connect Apple Mail to an email account via IMAP (this doesn’t have to be your usual account, you can just create a Gmail account for the purpose) . Copy all the messages into it and they will be uploaded. Then connect Outlook 2011 to the same account, via IMAP again, and let the messages download, then copy them to wherever you want to keep them and disconnect from that account. This is slow but preserves the attributes of your email (e.g. read/unead) better than any other method.

Several days ago some of the links in my Apple Mail messages stopped working. Specifically, the links going to some variation of "response beacon" don't work. All I see is a blank screen. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Using Gmail with Apple Mail.

Has anyone else encountered strange behaviors retrieving your gmail through Apple Mail. The issue I'm having is it seems to pull in the last couple days worth of email every time I open apple mail to check my mail. Pretty annoying when you get a lot of email. Any suggestions?

Couldn't wait. Found it under Preferences -> Accounts -> Advanced.
I changed it from One Week (the default ? ) to One Day.
That should help.
I have my Apple Mail program set to FORWARD every message that comes into Mail to a Gmail address, and on Gmail I have preferences set to reply to all messages from the email address they are sent to, so my email that goes to Mail generates replies that look like they come from Mail.
Allows me to keep a record of all emails I receive.

ChrisK21,
Make sure your settings match up with this:

if wouldn't hurt to delete the account entirely and just re-set it up in preferences.

Why can't I print just a selection of an Apple Mail message?

I have a MacBook running OS 10.5.8 (with the latest updates). My preferred browser is Firefox 15.0.1. I have always been able to print just a selection of a document, and I can do so in Microsoft Word, Google Mail, everything, it seems except Apple Mail. I have a little HP inkjet printer and a new Brother laser printer (HL-5470DW). I've searched their Help menus and manuals, as well as the Help menu for Mac and have found nothing about printing selections of Apple Mail messages. Is there a way to do that? Or do I have to copy the selection into a different document, like one in Microsoft Word for Mac? Or Google Mail? I prefer not to do that last option. The formatting choices are not the greatest.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Jenny

Thanks BDAqua. It seems so silly that it's so easy in other contexts, but it's good not to keep on trying something futile
Best,
Jenny

How do I embed YouTube or Vimeo video in an apple mail message

Is there an easy way to embed YouTube or Vimeo video in an apple mail message?
I've tried using command+i (same with share feature) on a YouTube page ... looks great except I get missing plugin error on video.
I'm up to date on Flash plugin, running Safari 6, OS X 10.8. No old Flash files in the internet library.
Any help is appreciated!

There's an HTML validator built in to the editor and it will, by default, throw out all but the simplest HTML tags.
The Apple document, Mac OS X Server, Wiki Server Administration V 10.6 explains all the gruesome details. But here's the solution that I use:
Change to the Wiki Server's directory by using
cd /Library/Application\ Support/Apple/WikiServer
If it doesn't exist, create a file called whitelist.plist:
sudo touch whitelist.plist
The file will be owned by root and all members of the _teamserver group. The latter is required for the Wiki service to have access.
Then edit the file with any appropriate editor -- I like vi:
sudo vi whitelist.plist
The file needs to have very specific formatting. This one should get your YouTube embedded HTML working:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>protocols</key>
<array>
<string>scp</string>
</array>
<key>styles</key>
<array>
<string>font-size</string>
</array>
<key>tags</key>
<dict>
<key>object</key>
<array>
<string>width</string>
<string>height</string>
</array>
<key>param</key>
<array>
<string>name</string>
<string>value</string>

<string>src</string>
<string>type</string>
<string>width</string>

<key>script</key>
<array>
<string></string>
</array>
<key>hr</key>
<array>
<string></string>
</array>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>
After making changes or additions, save and close the whitelist.plist file then restart the Web service using the Server Admin application.
If you aren't at all familiar with vi, then you may want to instead create a text file on your desktop, put the content into it, then move it to the right location and change its ownership and permissions.
Hope this helps.

Cannot add Gmail to Apple Mail in Mavericks

I cannot add Gmail to Apple Mail in Mavericks. I have tried adding it as a Google account AND as an "other" account. I have tried manually filling in the settings, using the instructions from Gmail's website:
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
imap.gmail.com
Port: 993
Requires SSL:Yes
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires TLS
smtp.gmail.com
Port: 465 or 587
Requires SSL: Yes
Requires authentication: Yes
Use same settings as incoming mail server
I have tried with both part 465 and prt 587 for the outgoing mail server. Still, it tells me, "There was a problem setting up the account."

Go to Mail->Preferences->Accounts and create an account

Can I import my contacts from Gmail into Apple mail (Snow Leopard)?

That says Reset Documents and Data, not Contacts.
I want you to go to www.icloud.com, login and see how many contacts are there, because they are all the iCloud contacts. Any contacts that are not there, are not on iCloud.

Apple Mail Message List Font in Mavericks

Hi all,
Is there a way to increase the size of the Apple Mail Message List Font in Mavericks when *NOT* in classic mode?
- the parameters seem to have no effect in this mode

Turns out that there is no way to change this unless uing the classic mailbox... We're stuck with the default setup on the new style.

Why I cannot assess deleted Apple mail messages in time machine after installing mountain lion from snow leopard.

Ever since I installed Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard, I cannot retrieve my deleted Apple mail messages from Time Machine. I could do it in the past using Snow Leopard. The effective date for the the non-retrival of deleted messages is the date I installed Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard. Any thoughts?

It was origionally a local folder for things like receipts from the Apple Store, etc
I'm still not sure what you mean . . . is it listed in the "On My Mac" section in Mail's sidebar, like these?
Mountain Lion appears to have given it an icon very much like an Archive box and put the "on My Mac" folder within that "Box" on both the back ups and the new Mail program - in fact it did it 6 times, which was the origional problem.
Can you post a screenshot?
I could restore inbox messages although they came in as a new mail box called Time Machine rather than into their origional mailboxes (there are 7 different addresses)
Yes, that's how Time Machine restores Mail messages, so it doesn't erase the current contents of an existing mailbox. You can then move them into the desired location.

Trouble sending mail through Gmail with Apple Mail

I am having trouble sending email through Gmail using Apple Mail. I have entered the correct password thorugh the two step verification from Google and the Connection Doctor says that I'm connected to the IMAP and SMTP, but I get the error that my email address was rejected by the gmail server.
Any thoughts?

Google has instruction posted for setting up your iPhone with gmail. I followed these directions and it worked perfectly.

Cannot SAVE Apple Mail Messages

Until recently I was able to SAVE Apple Mail messages as rtf files. I can no longer do this. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone have a solution?
Thanks.
Mary

Hi Mary,
That just started happening to me as well. I came to the forums to see if there was an answer. For the time being a temporary solution is to drag the mail from a mailbox to the desktop where it copies it to an .eml file which includes all attachments etc.
I'm on a Mac Pro 10.5.6 and use Mobile Me to sync an iPod Touch, MacBook Pro and my Mac Pro. I'm mentioning that because I wonder if this might be some snafu with Mobile Me?

Printing Apple Mail messages without header

Is there a way to print the body of an Apple Mail message without the header information? I can do a copy paste into Pages and print it from there, but just wondering if there is a faster method. Thanks.

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Until Apple implements the common-sense menu option of View -> Message -> No Headers, you'll have to open Mail's preferences, select the Viewing icon, and set "Show header detail" to "None". Once you've printed the message, you'll probably want to change that setting back to its original value.
