Gmail not showing up in mail

so this is getting out of hand.
all mail accounts are using IMAP
background:
- ipad 2, iphone 4s and ipad mini: work mail account shows up on both. i can view / move / receive / send e-mails
- iphone 6: work account shows up, folders are visible, but messages do not show up. can send, but not receive messages. i have deleted the account and added it back, no difference. it pulls folders from the server but does not pull messages.
now on the mac...
- macbook pro: gmail shows folders, but all folders are empty. no messages display, can send but not receive (they just don't show up)
- macbook air: gmail works as expected
i checked ~/Library/mail folder and the gmail box is there, it has folders, folders have messages... but the corresponding folder in mail.app does not show any messages. (see screenshot)
anyone else experiencing this weirdness?

Messages located in sub folders do not show in iPad Mail

Using iPad mail with Microsoft Exchange sync works great at the inbox level but any messages that are in sub folders do not show up in Mail on the iPad. All of the sub folders show up but do not show messages. In addition, I am not able to collapse the parent folders, the result is a very long list of empty folders. The exception is emails that I move to the folders on the iPad do show up if the folder is selected on the iPad. Looking for solution.

Has anyone else noticed the following?
I've synchronized with Exchange and am noticing some odd mail behaviour:
- I have folders in my PC Outlook inbox
- when I have mail open on my ipad, and a new message comes in, if I happen to be an a subfolder (example a special folder for messages from my boss or whatever) all the new mail goes to that folder instead of the inbox.
- even weirder, it stays there when I go back to my PC and Outlook.
Not very useful long term since I end up with seriously misfiled mail...

What do you mean by waiting voicemails? It tells you a number that includes missing calls new calls voicemail too. If its red circle under messages or the phone it means something is new.

When pasting from Excell the table border is not showing in Yahoo mail

Dear Sir/Madam
I am mis execitive , preparing the reports in Excell and sending it through email. But when i paste something from Ms excell , the table borders lines is not showing in Yahoo mail.
Please help

Dear All ,
Even I got annoyed due to this stupid thing ,
Let me share you how i worked around this ,
(1)Once you copied the table from Excel or Open office Calc, to thunderbird mail , It will appear the table with dotted line.
(2)Now you have to double click in any single cell it will prompt the ‘Table properties’ box .
(3)Now click on ‘Table ’ tab and under ‘Borders and Spacing’ Section set ‘Border’ ‘1’ instead of ‘0 ‘
That’s it ... it will show you the border lines of table copied from source file 

Double clicking a new e-mail does NOT show whole e-mail

double clicking a new e-mail does NOT show whole e-mail unless I go to forward or reply. In other words, I may see a couple sentences, then it's just blank, no scroll bar either. This gets annoying. Anybody else get this or know how to overcome this?

Well, there is no such thing as an AOL type account in Mail. Such an account must be set up as either POP or IMAP. Nevertheless, knowing that the ISP for one of the accounts is AOL is useful because it seems that other people also have this problem with AOL -- see Chuck Coulson's and smackwell's posts in this thread.
I don't think I'll be able to help you with the AOL account other than telling you to try rebuilding the mailbox -- select the mailbox and choose Rebuild from the Mailbox menu. Have you tried that?
The problem shouldn't happen with the POP account, however. Do you experience the same problem with it as well?

TS3276 Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

Not sure if this is a fix, but I tried sending myself a test email from only the Bcc field, and lo and behold it now shows the Bcc field in all sent item previews;
...maybe leaving the 'To' field blank on purpose forced Mail to show it.
Rebooted the Mail program, still there - rebooted the machine, still there. Hope this is still relevant and it works for you too - J.

Gmail mailboxes not showing up in Mail

In Mail, I see all of the mailboxes for "on my mac" but there is nothing for Gmail. At the top there's a place showing my Gmail inbox, but nothing showing any folders. Not even "Gmail" with an arrow to click. It's just "on my mac" and "RSS". I've looked at numerous discussions and made sure all of the settings are correct both in Mail and in my Gmail account. I even deleted the account and re-added it. I also have other e-mails linked to Mail, and none of them have any mailboxes that show up. When I try and add a new mailbox, having it under Gmail or any other e-mail account other than "on my mac" isn't even an option. My end goal is to add the mailboxes from "on my mac" into Gmail. Help!!

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...

Gmail messages not showing in Apple Mail

My employer just got me a brand new 15" MBP (Oct. 2013 model), running Mavericks 10.9.1. I'm going to use my old 2009 13" MBP for home use. I used Mail.app to view my work email and gmail accounts on my old computer. I had gmail configured in POP, with the idea of not deleting any messages from the gmail server so I could go back if I ever needed to to find a message. Well now I want to keep my email synced between devices, so I configured gmail as IMAP. After about 3 days of continuous downloading, I had the IMAP gmail set up (over 50,000 messages). It was working fine.
I also have a lot of old messages from an old work email account that I like to keep in Mail.app for reference. I imported these from my old Mac to the new mac. No problem. But after I did that, my gmail mailbox showed an unread message count of 50,000 + whatever it was, but no messages were displayed. Unfortunately, I don't have a timemachine backup for this new computer. I deleted the Envelope Index file in the Library/Mail/V2/MailData folder, as someone suggested in a different post and re-imported all messages, but this didnt work.
I have a time machine external drive with my old computer's backups. With the backup drive plugged into my new computer and with Mail.app active, I can click on the time machine icon at the top and select "Browse other backup disks...". I select the old backup drive and it will first show "Today" with the Mail.app open. I can see all my gmail messsages here. Time machine says "Click restore to recover the inbox for Gmail" or something like that. But the "Restore" button is grayed out, cause it's today.
I messed around with .plist and things in the Mail libraries, but nothing changed. Somewhere in my messing around with things, the message count went away. the mailbox setting have not been changed from what they were previously. I know all my messages are still on my mac cause the "[email protected]" folder is still 8.51 GB, which is what it should be.
I was able to import all the gmail emails in to mail via File->Import Mailboxes..., but this puts everything in it's own Import folder and not in the gmail inbox.
Also I can't receive new messages in gmail via Mail.app.
My work email (also set up as IMAP) is working just fine.
I don't want to remove the gmail account and reinstall, spending another 3 or 4 days downloaded all the messages (I don't know why it took that long).
Any help is appreciated.

I "fixed" the problem by copying the entire mail folder from the library on my old mac onto my new mac, replacing the newer mail folder. My old mac had gmail working just fine. Now everything works on my new. This didn't really fix the problem though. I'm not sure what was wrong with it.

Gmail Not Showing up in Messaging or Universal Mailbox

All my other apps and e-mails (Corporate Sync, Cox, Facebook, Twitter, Text Messages) all appear in my Messaging shortcut, but my Gmail account does not. I've looked at seeing if I can add it, but there's no option (that I can see). I have syncing enabled on my Gmail account for contacts and mail.
What do I need to do to get it there?
Thanks,
Patty

How do you add the account? I've tried and it hasn't worked... I wonder why it would not autmatically just be in the Universal Mailbox? I have to say, I Love Love Love that feature of having all mail go to one central location. Is there a way to set up my work e-mail to do the same as well? i tried the coroporate thing, but that didn't seem right since I didn't know the server and all that Jazz...

MobileMe acct not showing up in Mail

hi all - yesterday i got a new iPhone 4 and synced everything from my 3GS. no problem.
this morning i noticed that my mobile me account was not on the e-mail list (i have a few other gmail accounts). i'm not sure if it was on last night, i was too busy enjoying FaceTime i checked and it seemed like it wasn't on. so i deleted it, and then added it again on the iPhone. it's on the settings (under mail and contacts) list, but when i go into Mail, no MobileMe account is showing.
i thought maybe it was the SMTP server, so i went back into mail & contacts settings. this time i was puzzled when i saw that there was no SMTP info listed? i checked my gmail accounts and all of them showed the SMTP info - just not the one with MobileMe. i've tried restarting but no luck.
i've never had any problem with MobileMe acct on my 3GS. help, please? thank you!

I figured out what was wrong. The change I made in System Preferences/Mobile Me wasn't saved. You'd think I would remember that step.

MobileMe folders not showing up in Mail

I have created two folders in MobileMe to save email in. They are showing up on my iPhone and my iPad, but not in Mail. My me.com email address is set up as an IMAP account but isn't showing up like my Gmail IMAP account does in Mail with its own set of folders, etc. Any idea what I need to do to make this work in Mail? My me.com email comes into Mail in the Inbox so at least I can read it from Mail, but I have to leave it in the Inbox if I want to see it online or on my iPhone or iPad.

Date Sent not showing in Sent Mail

After a certain date, using Mail application, the Date (sent) is not showing in the header along with To & From & Subject. Why?
I have tried to get it to show using view prefs. Doesn't work.
I have changed to using a network time server. Doesn't work.
I've tried moving it to another folder. Doesn't work.
I need the date to show so when I print, I have proof of date and time sent...
Anyone?

Not sure about the time stamp problem, but the missing "Sent" mails problem is not uncommon. This problem is one that a lot of people have and in my opinion, I think it's a problem with Apple's mail application, nothing at the user's end.
Does this happen only when you include an attachment or does that matter? Also, does it only happen when your outgoing message is delayed a bit? Check your junk/spam folder to see if your sent messages went in there.
This doesn't fix anything, but you might change your e-mail settings so that all new mails are automatically sent Bcc to yourself.
Sometimes the "missing" sent mails are not going in the right folder. I'm sure you probably already know, but in the left-hand column in MAIL, under Mailboxes, there is a second "sent" folder way at the bottom, depending on your other e-mail accounts, such as Yahoo or Gmail). Many people have discovered their missing "sent" e-mails in those.
It is a big hassle, for sure, and has been officially reported. Users with complaints are being told that Apple's Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP) systems block the connection from a user's e-mail client when it attempts to store outgoing e-mails, which contain attachments, to the users' sent folder.
This is supposedly due to the Mac OS/Mac Mail sending non-standard or erroneous commands to the server, emulating the activity which would be generated by an attacker attempting to abuse an exploit in the IMAP server. I doubt you are doing anything wrong, so it's just a matter of waiting for them to FIX this annoying issue.

BCC will not show recipients in Mail app - for IMAP client user

Our office iMac was just upgraded to Mavericks. The Apple mail app (which we use via IMAP to receive our gmail) will not show BCC recipients on sent mail. Not sure what other info you might need.
Yes it did work prior to Mavericks upgrade --lots of other quirks that are just user preference issues but this is by far a concern because we need to keep track of school sent emails. So far the only solution has been to use the gmail client via web interface -- hoping there is a different solution!
Thanks for any help

John -- Thank you for your reply.
When we send the email we (our user end) can see the recipients in the BCC field (good)
When the email is delivered they (the recipient) cannot see all the other emails (good)
"Susie" (who was on our original BCC list as a recipient) calls and says I did not get the email - We go to our sent folder and click on the sent email to verify the email address we used but (and here's the issue) it says "No recipients"
Prior to installing OSX Mavericks -- it listed ALL the recipients in our sent folder copy of the email (this was very helpful to us)
To date the ONLY solution has been to use the web version of gmail -- My question is (and please know I have done a number of checks on this process) Why did it work BEFORE upgrading to Mavericks and why does it not work NOW? Our school secretary is convinced it is "my fault" for upgrading the system -- I am convinced there is a user error since she NEVER lists anyone in the TO field
She will NOT use the web interface because it takes "too much time" -- for this my response is -- then fix it yourself! (Sorry 10 days left of school -- tech coordinator frustration creeping in -- tired of id10t erros -- should have waited to upgrade until no one was around and NOT tell them!)

Friend's profile picture not showing in Mac mail messages

So recently I updated a friend's profile in my contacts with a picture. As expected, future correspondences through e-mail would now show his picture in the upper right hand corner of each message, as did mine when I sent one. At this point, I only had ONE e-mail address (a Apple/iCloud address) for him but through a discussion we were having he told me that he actually used another one more often, which was a gmail address. So, naturally I added it to my contact profile of him but then I noticed that his picture would not appear in the future emails I got from him. I thought perhaps it was a prioritization issue within his profile so I simply reversed the order of the emails with his gmail one showing first, then his iCloud one. Still, nothing.
So, any theories as to why this is happening? Obviously this is NOT the end of the world but I'm still curious as how to fix it so his picture shows up in emails.

Yes. In fact BOTH old and new email address are in his contact profile. So, in the begining there was only one address, his old address which I learned he doesn't really use anymore. So then I added the new one but kept the old one just in case. Here is the order I kept them:
1) old email
Then, once I learned of his new email:
1) old email
2) new email
After I learned the that the old email wasn't really used anymore, I switched the order:
1) new email
2) old email
I'm not sure if the order in which the email addresses are listed matters but I thought I'd mention it in case it does
