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!

  • Gmail suddenly not working with Apple Mail

    My gmail suddenly is not working with Apple Mail.
    It said my username or password is wrong, but it was okay this morning.
    Nevertheless, I deleted my gmail account, and re-setup it using Internet Accounts from System Preference.
    However, I got the beow message:
    There was a problem setting up the Mail account. An unknown error occurred.
    I am sure my username and password are correct because I just login it using Safari.
    Does anyone know what the cause is?
    Please help~~~

    Gmail not syncing in mac mail is a problem that is also in snow leopard since the new year.
    OSX 10.6.8  is the highest OS that will run on an Intel Core 2 Duo.  Do not try to install Mavericks on this machine! I will install, but turns it into a dinosaur and many programs will no longer run.
    I had an issue with Mac Mail not syncing with imap.gmail.com. and Safari not being able to find apple.com.
    This was resolved by working with an upper level tech support member for several hours deleating particular system library files, uninstalling most addons, reseting system network settings and a whole lot more! (too much to name here)
    Thank you Apple Tech Support.

  • Gmail is not working with Apple Mail

    I am trying to get my Gmail account working through IMAP in Apple Mail on the Mountain Lion operating system.  I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and it is frustrating to not have this working.
    When I attempt to set up my account, I get the below message:
    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.
    I know the server is working because I am able to get into Gmail everywhere else.  It sounds like other people may also have this problem.  Does anyone have a solution for this?

  • Gmail POP not working with Apple mail

    Hi
    I normally have no problem downloading emails from gmail onto mail.
    Unfortunately from yesterday onwards the emails stopped downloading. This occurred suddenly, and I'm not sure why. This has happened once before, and I managed to fix it, but I'm not sure how i did it. Has anyone experience the same, or does anyone have a solution?
    Cheers
    Bishan

    I've seen this problems posted all over the show with no replies, but in one forum the answer was given. Simply go to settings in Gmail, and switch off "enable POP" and save. Then switch it on again. And you can now receive emails.
    Thanks
    Bishan
    (ie in the end i answered my own problem - but i hope it helps someone else)

  • Why is Adobe Flashplayer not working with Apple? Do you have an other flash program you recommend?

    Thank you for your interest in Adobe Flash Player. Unfortunately Apple does not allow Flash Player to be installed on iPhone or iPad.
    May I add, this is the answer I get When I try to Download Adobe Flash Player
    You get the message because that is exactly the situation. Apple has not allowed any Flash on iOS devices.
    What site are you trying to see? Many sites now provide Flash alternatives. For example, if you want to listen to Pandora, instead of using the Flash on the Pandora website, instead you download the Pandora app for the iPad.
    In the future, even if Apple wants to add Flash to the iPad, it won't be able to because Adobe will no longer be making it at all, for any mobile device:

    If you often go to sites that use a lot of Flash and they don't have an alternative, you should write to them and tell them to stop using Flash.

  • Mail.app pops up saying "Cannot get mail" but the emails are downloaded normally....

    mail.app pops up saying "Cannot get mail: The user name or password for "iCloud" is incorrect", that is not true because i can log in on iCloud.com with the same credentials setted in mail.app. But the strange thing is that i can get the email! Let me explain: mail.app download the emails normally but when it check for incoming mail and there are no one, the alert pops up.
    This is not a critical issues, i can get the emails anyway, but that alert is really annoying.
    I've alredy changed the password of my appleID to a new one, but nothing changed.
    Has anyone had the same problem and managed to solve it?

  • Home sharing does not work with apple tv

    Can anyone help me.  I used to be able to stream all content from my home master computer to my Apply TV.  Now it suddenly does not work.
    Apple TV itself works just fine.  I can also airplay using it with out IPADs.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes.  Reset the modem/router.  Reset Appletv.  Tried with Norton disabled.  etc.
    Nothing seems to work. 
    I keep getting the 'Turn on your home sharing in Itunes' message.   But it is on.
    Help is appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Sometimes just disabling Norton isn't enough, you may need to hunt down every last file it has written to your computer then re-install iTunes. I understand Norton can be quite a nasty little intrusion.
    I know very little about PC's or security software as I have neither, but the following article might help you.

  • IPhone (3,3G,4) does not work with Apple Universal Dock.

    I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch that has been upgraded to iOS 4. My iPod Touch will no longer sync via the Apple Universal Dock. Also, my new iPhone 4 also will not sync via the Apple Universal Dock.

    Trust a geek not to give up. I decided to get to the bottom of the "iOS device does not work with the Apple Universal Dock" problem. I noticed that the iPhone 4 and iPad came with slightly different USB-Dock adapter cables. I wondered if that might be the issue. My Apple Universal Dock was connected to my Mac via the original dock adapter cables which are slightly larger. I connected the newer cables between the Mac and the Apple Universal Dock and .... voila! Both the iPod Touch with iOS 4 and the iPhone can now connect via the Apple Universal Dock. Apple changed something in the way the adapter cables function.
    Of course I still have the problem with the car head unit dock adapter ... Sigh. I'll have to call Best Buy ( uughh! ) and find out if they'll do the update for me. The were the vendor authorized installer.

  • 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.

  • Gmail smtp (outgoing) mail not working with apple mail 5

    Hi,
    I have a numbe of gmail accounts, I can receive mail through the new apple mail 5 client but can't send any at all.
    I've tried everything gmail help suggests but to no avail...
    Cheers,

    Have you use the correct outgoing server - smtp.mail.me.com and SSL is required. I would suggest removing the account and starting again, following the instructions applicable to Leopard in this page:

  • 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...

  • Mail Message URLs like message: ... not working with Apple Mail any more

    Links to certain messages are not working for me any more. For example if I drag a Mail to TextEdit Mac OS X creates a correct Link with the scheme: message:<... etc. Those links should open the linked message in Apple Mail. This seems broken for me.
    Is there a way to reenable this functionality, via Terminal or so?
    I have to admit that I used Sparrow for a short time. It looks like this stole the message-linking. Now I completely removed Sparrow, but it is still not working again with Apple Mail. Any suggestions?
    Kind regards,
    Markus

    nope, same result with the flags, and now my eyes are burning from having used outlook mode instead of classic mode.

  • Gmail IMAP *was* working with Apple Mail - days later it's stopped working.

    Hi all,
    I recently started my Gmail IMAP account over in Apple Mail and Mobile Mail in order to get it working properly across an iMac, iPhone and MBP. I followed Gmail's IMAP settings to the letter and the only thing I couldn't get working was for the Trash folder in Gmail's server to take the place of the Trash icon that Mail has. While Sent and Drafts were represented correctly once I did the "Use this Mailbox for..." thing, Trash never moved up there.
    Turns out that when I've been deleting emails in Apple Mail, they haven't been deleting in the Gmail inbox. They just sit there, label free. In the meantime, the fact that the server Inbox is stuffed full of label-less emails isn't reflected in the other applications, and deleting an email in Apple Mail does not delete it from Mobile Mail. Similarly, mails I've moved in Apple Mail from the Inbox to the Gmail folders are not reflected in Mobile Mail, where they remain in the Inbox. Furthermore, on the server the mails appear to have the correct label for the folder I moved them to in Apple Mail, but on the server they are still in the Inbox.
    I'm confused. The Gmail server inbox seems to be acting like All Mail now - in that I move something from the Inbox and into a Gmail folder using Apple Mail or Mobile Mail, but on the server they just stay in the Inbox and have a label added. They sit in several places at once. This is not what's supposed to happen!
    Furthermore, now any emails I write in Apple Mail and Mobile Mail start saving drafts every few seconds then saving these as new emails in 'Drafts', and on the server saving them as multiple different versions of emails. If I send an email, I do not need to save every single variation every 10 seconds. Even if I don't send an email I don't need that. It wasn't doing this before, why has it started now?
    I thought I'd got this all sorted but clearly I don't.
    How do I achieve the following:
    1) In Apple Mail and Mobile Mail, have an Inbox, Drafts, Sent and Trash box at the top, in which changes are reflected on the server and vice versa.
    2) If I move an email in the above software from Inbox to a Gmail folder, the email on the server moves from Inbox to that folder, but remains in All Mail.
    3) If I delete an email on the above software, it's moved from wherever it is to the Gmail Trash folder, where it's deleted after 30 days. It does NOT simply lose a label and remain in the Inbox or even in All Mail. If I delete something, I want it gone EVERYWHERE.
    4) Don't save my Drafts every 10 seconds. Ever.
    It can't be that hard to do this, can it?

    Hmm, turns out my iMac Apple Mail has been resetting the Mailbox activity settings for some random reason which would explain the drafts problem. Wonder why?
