GMAIL on Native Mail App

I set up my Google mail in native mail app as a Google mail account and everything worked for a couple weeks. Now the mail app is only pulling mail from 2011 and older. I set up my mailbox on a couple other collegues iphones and have the same issue. I downloaded the Gmail app and checked Gmail through Safari on my phone and the account is fine. The current email is in my inbox. My desktop is the same. The issue is just with the mail app on IOS 8 and it was working for 2 weeks with no issues. I didnt make any changes. HELP!

Not seeing the problem on either my iPhone 6 or iPad Air. Have you tried deleting the account in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar? It's a good first step in troubleshooting email issues. However, given that you've tried to set up the same account on other phones, it may not do any good. Are you using the default settings for Google when you set up the account?

Please help with setting up native mail app using Gmail with alternate email address

I have an alternative email address setup such as [email protected] configured to use with my online Gmail account. In the online account, I use the alternate email services smtp server so emails are sent correctly from that alias.
Is there a way to setup the native mail app to use Gmail for mail, contacts, and calendar and use an alternate email address as the sender? Right now I am syncing contacts and the calendar through the native mail app and using the Gmail mail app for my email. It allows you to select from all of the emails setup on the Gmail account.
But for simplicity sake, I would like to consolidate to the native email app for all of my accounts - I also have an Exchange based work account.
Thank you for the help.

I can't delete e-mail from Apple's native mail app. I am using Gmail.

I cannot delete mail from Apple's native mail app. I can do this in Gmail; but when I switch to the native app, it does not work.

Hello ike39
For issues with Mail, check out the first article below for general troubleshooting steps to get it working again. Also, is it archiving emails instead of deleting? Check out the second article to see if that is set properly.

Can't see some letters from my Gmail box in Mail.app in MAC OS 10.8.5.

Hello, can't see some letters from my Gmail box in Mail.app in MAC OS 10.8.5.

The solution was to remove all versions of Acrobat Pro and reinstall Acrobat Pro XI. I still had the download file in my Time Machine backup. That's a good thing, since the download link from the order listing on the Adobe website under my account would not work.
The problems don't occur with version 11.0.0. I got the work done, now I'm updating to 11.1.0 and will report if they came back.

Send from Gmail alias in Mail.app in iOS 7?

I have a Gmail account with several email accounts that forward into it. I've configured Gmail on the web so that I can send email from those accounts.
I just set up this Gmail account in Mail.app in iOS7 on my iPad.
In Gmail on the web, if I receive an email to one of the accounts that forwards into this Gmail account, and click "reply", it will automatically send use that account as the "from" address (rather than the Gmail account).
Is there any way to specify this as a preference in Mail.app on the iPad? Otherwise I have to remember to manually change the "from" address when I reply to an email sent to any of the accounts that forward to my Gmail account.

I've not heard of or experience any such issue.
Have you tried removing and readding the accounts in question?

Multiple gmail accounts in mail.app via IMAP - how to delete messages

multiple gmail accounts in mail.app via IMAP - how to delete messages so that they are not stored on gmail and not in All Mail therefore either.
i know that dragging messages to the GMail.Trash folder deletes it in Gmail, but doing that for multiple accounts is a hassle!
anybody else struggle with this, solved it?

i have still not figured out a solution to this. very painful - the fact that messages iwill not be using ever again and with large attachments, just sit there in all mails and slow down mail.app for me, fill up search results with stuff i don't want to see and fill up space on the HDD. the attachments as a result often are stored 3-4 times on the HDD!
some geek here must have solved it - come on!

Gmail through native message app?

Is there a way to get Gmail/Google Apps mail to come through the native Messages app?
We've recently switched to Google Apps & GMail from an Exchange environment and the GMail app for Blackberry's has gone down like a brick. It's hated - primarily because of the threaded/grouped message/conversation system.
Can gmail be received through the standard Messages app as we used to use for our exchange mail?
Please say it can...

Try this, open your Messages folder > Menu key > Options > Inbox Settings > and CHECK that email address to be included in the main messages folder.

Native Mail app unable to get new mail after updating to iOS 5.0.1

Just after I installed 5.0.1 (OTA) I've noticed that native ios mail client is unable to get new mail messages anymore. I have three seperate mail accounts (Gmail, Hotmail, iCloud) connected to my iPad2 and none of them works after this software update. All I get is three seperate error messages (Cannot Get Mail) one after another for each account, same kinda of messages as you get once you try to open your Mail app with no internet connection, but this time it's not an issue as my iPad is connected to my home WiFi which is working just fine.
I've tried to restart my device, checked mail settings, made sure all the passwords are ok by typing them once again for all the accounts and I managed to get confirmation that they're ok with no difficulties using the same device.
All other apps that uses internet connection seems to be working with no problems as well.

Any ideas?

Once I got new mail messages to each mailbox it seems that everything got back to normal.

Older post from apple support community delivered on gmail show in Mail App when new notification received

Hi all,
I am using Mail as a client to my Gmail account.
I am registered with such account to receive notification about new posts from Apple Support Communities on which I took part.
However when I receive a new mail notifications, I get a huge list of post, it basically seems the whole conversation.
Even if the grouping done by Mail App shows 1 message only, I can see lot of posts attached to the mail.
Apparently by deleting the group or the very latest mail, it deletes the whole conversation, but everytime a new mail arrives, the conversation shows again.
By doing a search for sender and subject on notification arrival, only one mail shows from the results.
When deleting the mail, the whole conversation gone from Mail App, did the search again with same criteria, and got 0 result.
Why this behavior ? Am I missing something ?

*I figured it out!*
Simple fix, here is what you do - open Mail v4.2 > Preferences
Select your Gmail account with this weird problem (I say select, cause in my situation I have multiple Gmail account setup but was having trouble with 1).
Then goto > Advanced tab
and then just type "/" (forward slash) - and then wait for a minute, it should fix it and allow to receive all the ghosts messages again - which apparently were visible under my online (web based) gmail.com's account also on my iPhone. You might see double messages, don't freak out like I did - Quit Mail v4.2 and restart that should go away as well, like in my case. Strange? Definitely
Anyways, hope this helps!

How to log into gmail with default Mail app

So my gmail has a 2 step verification option to have it more secure, but the default mail app on my iphone 5S does not give me the option to give a second verification so I can't log in.
They continuously say my password is incorrect because of this...
Any way to fix this please?
Ludwig Dory

After more googline I actually found the solution, I'll post it here in case anyone else has the same problem I had:
You have to go to the double verification setup in browser https://accounts.google.com/b/0/SmsAuthSettings and generate an app specific password, this is the only way it'll work.

Using GMail as the mail app doesn't work

I have Firefox 11.0, OS X 10.7.3 Lion. In Firefox, I go to Preferences / Applications, and set the default MailTo app handler as GMail. I restarted Firefox, when I click on a mailto link nothing happens (just the click highlight). I installed Google Notifier, and when I launch the Mail app, I made sure the default mail program is Google Notifier. Still doesn't work.

Interestingly enough, clicking a hyperlink from Safari works great - launches Firefox tab with a new message composed.

[Google Mail] / [Gmail] folder in Mail.app

Like others I'm trying to get rid of the [Google Mail] folder that shows in the folder list (you may have [Gmail]). This is only my tidy fetish rather than some kind of operational issue.
There's some strangeness involved:
Mail.app sometimes shows a sub folder to [Google Mail] called Starred but this has no mail in it - despite there being starred mail in the account. Starred mail only shows in the Flagged folder. **
In GMail's settings, I tried turning off the Starred label from showing in IMAP thinking that the [Google Mail] folder was only showing because it had a nested label. The Starred sub-folder disappeared but the folder [Google Mail] did not.
I have tried two work arounds that I found.
Firstly creating a label [Google Mail] then not showing it in IMAP (this is why I also tried hiding Starred from IMAP in case there was a nesting issue).
The other was setting 'Google Mail' as the IMAP Path Prefix in Mail.app preference. Whilst that got rid of the folder, it also hid all of my labels - these appear to be at the same level in the IMAP hierachy so setting the path via [Google Mail] hid the other labels from view.
I noted that with a label [Google Mail] visible in IMAP, the corresponding folder icon was grey. With the label hidden from IMAP or deleted, the icon is clear / white. Either way though, this doesn't change whether the [Google Mail] label/folder gets shown.
On top of all of this I have a more recently enabled account which does not show the [Google Mail] folder at all. The label and IMAP seetings are identical across the accounts. (Interestingly this account does show the Starred label as a folder at the same level as my other labels - but it is also empty with all starred mail for the account showing in Flagged. **)
Thank you for taking the time to read this far. Does anyone have any other ideas worth trying?
Andrew
** Just a note if you try hiding the Starred label in IMAP... Flag changes in client apps (Mail.app, Mail on iOS) will sync back to Gmail forcing changes in a mail's Star staus. BUT changes made in Gmail will not sync back to changes in the flag status in the client. This means that hiding Starred can quickly mean your flags and stars are out of sync across devices, apps and Gmail. Probably best not to turn it off.

I actually don't see that in my setup. But if it is really annoying you enough, I'd post it on the Gmail support forums.

Does this describe your situation?

Phantom GMail messages in mail.app

Here's my situation:
At one time I decided it would be lovely to point mail.app at my GMail account. I changed my mind about this pretty quickly (once I figured out that it was going to take approximately 11 years to download all of my gmail messages, since I rarely delete anything from gmail).
The "phantom messages" I reference in the subject line are these: references to gmail messages that do not exist on my machine. During the normal course of using mail, I don't ever see them, but they turn up by the thousands when I search for messages or when I create a Smart Mailbox. I'm starting to suspect that they may be implicated in some of the mail slowness that I have been experiencing, in particular slowness of Smart Mailboxes (which, ideally, I would like to use to organize my RSS feeds).
Here's what it looks like:
The little "Show in mailbox" text that looks like it ought to be a link is nothing - can't click it, can't highlight it, nada.
I have recently rebuilt ALL of my .plist files in an attempt to address the "mail won't quit" problem (the one that's NOT related to notes or mobile me - seems to have worked, by the way), so I know that's not going to solve the problem. When I look at /Library/Mail, there is no evidence of a GMail mailbox anywhere.
So. Does anybody know how I can get rid of these? There are literally tens of thousands of them - one search turns up over 16000 phantom messages. I can delete them, which makes them not show up in searches anymore. Interestingly, when I delete them they do NOT show up in my Trash... they simply vanish. So I could manually delete them all, but that would take a really long time.

Bump... anybody have any ideas on this one?
