GMAIL no longer works in Apple Mail?
I can't receive GMAIL any Apple Mail any longer but I can access gmail and it functions propertly through their web site. I have double checked on the IMAP settings and can't figure it out.
If you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate an application-specific password in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password.

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The Church Email account is an old one that is no longer active...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.Michael Battenfield wrote:

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...

HT2500 links no longer work in apple mail.
links no longer work in apple mail, even though they do work on other mail services?
This is typically an issue of setting the web preference in the WINDOWS preferred programs. In Win7 this is accessed from Control Panel>Default Programs>Set Program Access...>Custom. Maybe these options will give you an idea of the problem.

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 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?

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!RTom90 wrote:

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?RTom90 wrote:

Gmail password stops working in apple mail
Every few weeks I'll get an error message telling me the password for my gmail account is rejected. This even thought I've changed nothing! It's extremely aggravating and wastes time. does anyone know what might be happening? I'm becoming ever more disenchanted with Apple these days. I don't ask for much - just reliability and even this is lacking in the email program.
Use Software Update to update your os and anything else that needs to be updated. You could be missing a Mail update. Your profile shows you are still using 10.6.7.

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
BishanI'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

How do I get gmail to display correctly in Apple Mail?
We sync our Google email to Apple's Mail app on the Mac, iPad, and iPhone. The mail does not display correctly, the text keeps going and cuts off so you have to swipe to the right to reveal the rest of the message. We are syncing gmail through IMAP. Does anyone know how to get Gmail to display correctly with Apple Mail?
Same here. I'm using office 2013. It is hard to believe, That there is still no solution for that problem. Parallels desktop and office 2013 lets you dictate, Though there is still no way to get the new line or new paragraph
command to get to work in word or outlook. Do you think this isn't a apple issue or a Microsoft issue? On Windows in the ordinary editor the commands work well.
I actually changed to mac for this killerfeature and i really need it. Now it does not work in the most common office app.. -
Windows Live Hotmail Plus - Work in Apple Mail?
Can someone tell me if 'Windows Live Hotmail Plus' works with Apple Mail?
Can I send and receive (hotmail) e-mails in Mail without going onto the internet to the hotmail site?
I will still use the online hotmail, when I'm away from my computer.
One on my friends suggested using Gmail, but there's too much hassle changing everything over. And I mean everything... all my internet shopping accounts, all the forums account, all my contacts I have stored... plus I want to keep using Adium (all my friends have hotmail and MSN on Windows, but iChat doesn't work). So I don't want Gmail for sending them all e-mails while still using hotmail to chat... I'd rather they'd all be under the one account (hotmail).
I have set up a "test" account with Gmail. Its ok, but I think because I've been using hotmail for years it just seems really different and I have to say it... I don't like it. (this is on the website site access) - it seems very cluttered, I don't like that replies are kept in threads in one e-mail, you can't customize it... I know I'll p*ss some people of but I love hotmail.
On the plus side, it does what I want hotmail to do... it allows me to view, create and send e-mails in Apple Mail with no problems, while also having the ability to access it online when I'm away from home.
I have/still using Izymail - which can let me view and send hotmails e-mails in Mail, but all e-mails (plain text, or with a photo, or .doc file attached) are all blocked when they reach anyone else's hotmail account - even though the sender is on the Safer Sender list - so it's Izymail part which is being blocked and there's no way to fix it.
Thanks for any information.Please tell me if you've had any luck.
I was receiving hotmail through Mail until two days ago!?!? I've been using httpmail for years and suddenly now it's not working. Actually, it's been acting up since hotmail live went online - it's very geared towards windows users!!
I can't send, receive. It says I need to subscribe to a live account (the error message in mail) - but I have a live account!! I have a plus account!!
I emailed support at hotmail but haven't received a reply.

Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID -
My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.
Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1) When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2) I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3) So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself. -
Is this the most up to date article on up-dating the iPhone OS - is there anything about the problems relating to the up-date to OS 6 - my G3 no longer works and Apple seems to have gone to ground. No Genius bar appointments available for a week!
iOS 7 devices need iTunes 11.1 or newer to sync. Depending upon your computer and the OS it is running, you may not be able to upgrade to iTunes 11.1 based on the requirements for iTunes 11.1. What computer and OS are you running your iTunes on? From the iTunes download pages I see the requiorements are:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Windows System Requirements
PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
400MB of available disk space

Yahoo IM no longer working in Apple Messages.
My Yahoo IM is no longer working in Apple Messages. I am able to log in and send messages to my buddies, and they receive my messages. The problem is I do not receive any of their replies.
I have AOL, Jabber and iMessages working, its only Yahoo that is not working properly.
I tried deleting the account, restarting my computer and creating the account again and it still doesnt work.
I tested the yahoo account with other IM clients (Adium, Trillian) and it works fine.
