Gmail is not updating in my Lion Mail software.  Are there settings I should check to determine why??

About one week ago, the Mail software program on my iMac (running Lion 10.7.3) stopped updating my email from my Gmail account.  I didn't knowingly change any settings, either on Gmail or on Mail.  The Gmail updates as expected on both my iPhone and my iPad.
Does anyone have suggestions for settings I might check (or actions I might undertake) to resolve this?
Thank you so much!

It does have the online/offline option.  It's online.  I've switched it on and off and on (multiple times in the past, trying to get it started again) and recreated a duplicate mailbox (which only exhibits the same behavior... able to send email but not able to download received emails).
Gmail is set up as IMAP.
The mailboxes at the bottom of the sidebar are...
All Mail
Drafts
Important
Sent Mail
Spam
Starred
Trash
Thanks for your suggestions and pondering!

    Quick update, the duplicate of the comic-con episode downloaded succesfully, and so has the first episode of Supernatural season 8. Blue dots appear to their left in the library.
    All the Vampire Diaries episodes (except the bonus comic-con double) have vanished, but I paid for them !
    They're not anywhere on my harddrive either.
    Which is new by the way, this is a new MacbookPro, literally set it up today.
    So it would seem this is a case of purchased and pseudo-downloaded episodes that ended up beinge gobbled up by some iTunes black hole, leaving me with no money, and no episodes.
    Need help, confirmed.

  • I can not update my N95 using Nokia Software Updat...

    I can not update my N95 using Nokia Software Updater.
    The error message "unable to update the software" will appear.
    I have version 12.0.013.
    Come with ideas, I have contacted Nokia's support and they want me to send the phone to them but it may be the final solution.

  • My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install.  Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

    My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install.  Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

    I get the impression that most of the users on older hardware experiences similar temperature issues on Lion for a long time now. Awaiting for confirmation from the original poster.
    In the meantime I'm just cautious with regards to pushing the machine to such extreme temps, since something tells me such behaviour which includes monitor flickering and the likes is nothing but abnormal for any type of use...
    Any clues if 10.7.5 does anything on this? If not I'm afraid i see myself going back to SL for good...

  • Can you take the SIM card from an IPad and transfer it to a NEW Ipad (not yet purchased) without any problems? Are there any complicated steps involved? Thanks.

    Can you take the SIM card from an IPad and transfer it to a NEW Ipad (not yet purchased) without any problems? Are there any complicated steps involved? This is for my boss.
    Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

    Simple answer is YES.
    The only caviat is for instance in the UK some iPads are locked to a specific network provider and therefore if the new iPad is locked then it will only work on the specific network it is locked to.

  • Gmail does not work with Mountain Lion

    Since I installed Mountain Lion, Gmail does not work properly. I still receive emails, but everytime I try to send an email through my gmail account a window opens and says:
    "Cannot send message using the server smtp.gmail.com:[email protected]  Sending the message content to the server failed.  select a different outgoing mail servre from the list below or click Try later..."
    Any way, the only smtp mail that works is my Icloud email. Exchange server works too.  Yahoo does not work either.
    I appreciate any insight to this problem.
    Thanks

    You likely have corrupted settings for your  "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" for each of the failed Accounts.  Open Mail>go to Mail's Preferences>Accounts>select an Account in the left column to work on>then set up your Outgoing Mail Server which will INCLUDE resetting up your Password, as its asking you to.  Click on "SMTP Outgoing Mail Server" near the bottom of the Accounts window while your mail account is highlighted in the left hand column.  When you click on SMTP... you will see a drop down box icon offered at the right side of the line.  Click it and then select at the bottom of the the list "Edit SMTP Mail Server".  Fill in the required settings for your ISP mail account using their recommended settings.

  • IPhoto will not update after Mountain Lion install

    Installed Mountain Lion last week. Running software update results show an update available for iPhoto but iPhoto will not update to the latest version using the APP store update interface.

    Have you bought it in App Store or in a disc? If you bought it in a disc, download iPhoto 9.3 and iPhoto 9.3.2. If it has been bought in App Store, delete and install iPhoto

  • RSS Feeds not updating in safari (and Mail)

    I have just realized that my RSS feeds (bookmark bar) stopped updating a few days ago.  If I "view all RSS articles," nothing more recent than several days ago appears.  Even when I hit "Update Now" under actions, I get nothing.  I know there are recent articles becasue I sync bookmarks across two MBAs and the other is updating just fine.
    As an aside, my mail feed is not updating reliably either. 
    I updated to 10.7.2 on friday, but my feed worked until Saturday morning.  Any idea what might be casuing this issue?  I'm stumped.
    Thanks.

    I have a similar problem. Some of my safari RSS feeds are updating whilst some aren't however if I go to the website and click on feeds again, it shows the latest ones. I think there's a bug in safari. I am running the latest version of Safari & OS X (as of this date). If anyone has a fix on this, it is greatly appreciated.

  • My ipod touch(3rd gen) will NOT update due to "The ipod software update server could not be contacted" Please help

    I have quite literally tried everything. My ipod touch just will not update.
    My internet connection is more than fine, my ipod functions as it should, and I can connect to the itunes store.
    It will not, however, connect to the update server.
    I have spent around 2 hours tonight troubleshooting and i still have nothing.
    Please help.

    In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server

  • I am unable to print only the first few lines of an e-mail. Also, it will then print in a very small type and will also include extraneous information on the screen that are not part of the e-mail. Is there anything I can do about this annoying problem?

    I can only print the first few lines of an e-mail, even when it is on "Full View" on my screen. Moreover, it prints with very small print that is hard to read and also contains additional material on the screen that is not part of the e-mail.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Since the first day I started using Firefox

    I talked to Adobe Support tonight and found this issue to be a known problem with some of the Adobe Cloud products when using older hardware, in this case the C782.
    So, we found a workaround. Unfortunately the work around isn’t efficient and adds more steps to their normal printing routine
    Open InDesign and create, modify delete the card
    Select FileàExport
    A window will appear. Pick the location you wish to save the file
    Once the File is saved another window will appear
    “EXPORT Adobe PDF”
    An Export to Adobe PDF window will appear. Accept all defaults. MAKE CERTAIN “VIEW PDF
    After EXPORTING” is CHECKED
    Select Export
    Once EXPORT is complete the file will open automatically in Adobe Acrobat
    Most likely the screen will be very large
    Select the + - sign at the top of the page to adjust the page size to view the image
    Select FileàPrint
    The Print window will appear
    Select the printer from the drop down
    # of COPIES is just below Printer
    Select OK
    I hope this helps anyone who is having similar issues
    Thanks

  • HT4889 My new iMac says that my old Macbook is not updated to the latest Yosemite software so it won't let me migrate files. But I have checked my Macbook and it says that it is updated. What should I do?

    I am trying to migrate files from an old Macbook--which is already updated with the latest Yosemite software--to a new iMac that also has the latest Yosemite software. But I keep getting an error message that says that my old Macbook is not updated. What should I do?

    If the 2 computers have the correct cable connections, try the Target Disk Mode.

  • HT4906 Aperture 3.1.2 is not updating to 3.2 via software update

    my Aperture 3.1.2 is not updating via software update.  How do I update to 3.2?

    If you purchased Aperture outside of the Mac App Store, then be 100% sure it is located in your Applications folder.  By far the most common source of problems is if you create a subfolder inside Applications (i.e "Photo Applications") and move Aperture there.  Software Update won't see it then.
    If you purchased Aperture via the Mac App Store, then use the MAS to update Aperture, as Software Update won't update stuff purchased through the MAS.

  • HT1444 My programs will not update because of the current software?

    My iTunes will not update because its not supported by my software.  How do I get the program to update.

    iTunes 10 through 10.6.3 require at least Mac OS X 10.5, which requires a G4 or better Mac. Mac OS X 10.5 DVDs might be obtainable by phoning Apple and are available on sites such as Amazon or eBay.
    iTunes 10.7 and newer requires Mac OS X 10.6 or newer, which requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB of RAM. It's available on the online Apple Store.
