Google Mail and OS X Mail

I have a Google Mail account and am trying to get it set up in OS X Mail. I followed all the instructions on the Google site on how to configure it to work in Mail but keep getting a password error. I have tried resetting the password and still no go.
Any suggestions ?

Hello,
Did you remember to enable POP mail in the Online GMail settings / preferences screen?
That is often the cause of this problem here. Make sure that you go into Gmail's online settings (in the webmail interface) and enable POP mail checking.
I hope this helps.

How do i get firefox to recognise and allow me to access google mail?

HELP!
my friend uploaded firefox as my main browser a couple of days ago, and also ran a full malware and antivirus check on my laptop. however, since then i haven't been able to access my google mail.
i can get onto google.com but whenever i try to get onto gmail, it comes up with this error message:
The connection to www.google.com was interrupted while the page was loading.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
my internet connection is fine, as to my knowledge, i haven't had a problem with any other websites. and i have literally no idea how to check whether or on my firewall is permitting the website!
p.s my laptop uses windows vista if that's any help.
if anybody has any advice it would be muchly appreciated!
Thank you

Flip4Mac should be able to do that

Sync issues with Google Calendar and e-mail alerts

Hello,
I'm experiencing a lot of problems with iCal while I'm trying to sync it with Google Calendar. I have correctly inserted my Google account information into iCal, but:
when I create a new event and I disable the e-mail alert and save it, it automatically turns on the e-mail alert! Is there a way to disable by default all alerts? I have already tried to go to Settings - Advanced and select “Disable all alerts” with no result;
all the events I create into iCal are correctly synced with Google Calendar and I can correctly read them on the web app, but in my android device they don't have the time information (they are listed as all-day events)

GooSync would do the trick - http://www.goosync.com/
Plz be aware that Goosync nor Google Contacts supports all field from your phone so it is not an 100% backup unfortunately

Go to Settings >> Safari and clear your "history", "cookies" & "cache". Then try accessing Google Mail.

I've dragged my Facebook, Google , Twitter and LinkedIn icons into the Signature box of Mail. Is there a way of adding the web links behind each icon? i.e. like PC Outlook

I've just purchased a new MacBook Pro and am having problems with the Signature section of Mail. I've added Facebook, Google+, Twitter and LinkedIn logos to my Siganture, however the associated weblinks behind each logo are not copying across. Is there a way of adding the website links to each logo in the Signature section of Mail?
Thankyou in advance.

I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

Google mail and foxfire don't wirk well together what can I do

Google mail is NOT SENDING or is very slow attaching small files and then it won't send, it says it is sending but is not sending.

You will have to restore the phone as NEW. You will lose all the data on your phone.

My Firefox won't quit and gives a "not responding" message after I use Google Mail. I have tried starting in "safe" mode and the problem still occurs.

I have an issue where Firefox wont' quit and gives a "not responding" message after I have been using Google Mail. It works fine when I am not using that program. I have tried Safe Mode and the problem still happens when I go to Google Mail, so it is not connected with add-ons, extensions, etc.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. 
Clear the Cache 
'''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"'''''
 and 
Remove Cookies '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy.''''' 
Under '''History''', select Firefox will '''Use Custom Settings'''. 
There is a button on the right side called '''Show Cookies'''. 
If there is still a problem,
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
 While you are in safe mode; '''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''. 
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''. 
Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.

When I use Thunderbird with Yahoo Groups, Google groups, and other email lists, I don't get a copy of my own emails back from the list (I do with Mail.app)...?

When I use Thunderbird with Yahoo Groups, Google groups, and other email lists, I don't get a copy of my own emails back from the list. I *do* when I use Mail, so it seems like a Thunderbird thing. I'd really like to see my own emails come back to me in the conversation so that I know where my remarks fall in the discussion; it's very disorienting when you can't tell if your email has arrived at the list, or not. I can't seem to find the setting, and I've searched thru your help topics, etc., to no avail. Thanks.

It's both gmail and mac.com email accounts, and it's all email lists -- including some privately hosted on servers, that are not Google groups, not Yahoo groups.
I'm not sure what you mean by "saving a copy of your messages yourself" in Mail -- if I email to the lists with Mail on my laptop or iPad, I can see it on my desktop computer too, right in line with other email messages in the thread, after the list resends the message I've submitted. It's only Thunderbird that this "invisible posts" behavior happens, and it didn't use to happen this way. I used to get my emails posting right in the thread.

Google mail, calendar and contacts won't load but salesforce, facebook will - Help

When I hit mail, calendar or contacts words begin flashing so fast you can hardly read them...loading, google, mail etc. in the space to type in a web address. On the screen itself, the word loading flashes on and off, On the tab there is the same very rapid cycling of words, loading, google etc.
Other on line applications seem fine like salesforce, facebook etc.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox to no avail. I can get to my mail through Safari but not through Firefox.
Can you help me?

Never mind... It was indeed something simple that I missed (my icloud account was attached to an apple ID I didn't even know existed -- created for me?? ... fixed it - settings, icloud, sign out, signed back in as my actual apple ID).

Google apps and mail, contacts, calendar setup

I'm trying to setup my mail, contacts, and calendar in Lion with my Google Apps credentials. On my iphone I set things up as an Exchange server, provide my credentials and connect to the server 'm.google.com'. This doesn't work on Lion -- is there another server? Another approach? Is this supported?

I've got mail and Calendar working perfectly with Google Apps and Lion, but Contacts not at all
Spanning Sync seems to be an option but I'm reluctanct to introduce a third party
Surprising in 2011 to still be having problems on something as basic as Address sync!

Apple Mail, Google Apps and One User

Every time I receive mail from one user, and only one user, my email POP freezes and will not download any more messages until the message from that user is removed from the server.
There is nothing special about the messages.
We use Google Apps mail and it also happens when I redirect the message to my gmail.com account.
I must force quit apple mail and reopen after the message is gone. It downloads the message but will not download subsequent messages.
It didn't start happening until this summer and every other message I receive behaves normally.
It is very frustrating because the person is a very important client who sends me quite a bit of mail. Any advise? Thank you in advance!

BTW, it also happens when I redirect to non-google mail (rackspace cloud sites). The messages originate from mx1.cbeyond.com if that helps. Here is the full header with email addresses and subjects redacted:

Norton has actually tried to get a update patch out for Firefox 5.0 back on Tuesday (versus taking some six weeks) when Firefox 5.0 was released. However I think some say the toolbar may not work if patch was installed before Firefox 5.0 and not after.

As for Google toolbar well Google still has not cared to get a new release out yet when they were aware for weeks.

Safari and google mail problem

A couple of days ago google mail stopped working in Safari (it works fine in Firefox). When I use the shift key when composing mail the curser jumps to the To: or Subject: box. I think it started happening after I installed an update. Does anyone else have this problem and is there a fix?

I see katnoodle's post below addresses the same problem. The fix that works is changing version to English US and clicking on newer version.

My other pc has no problems, I have tried clearing the cache and cookies. I have also tried re-installing. Safemode has also been tried

Did you check that you aren't blocking cookies?
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions
If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Imapfilter and Google Mail

Hi!
I recently switched over to mutt and so I needed something that enforced the sorting rules which I had used with Thunderbird.
And obviously there has to be a problem with imapfilter when used with Google Mail (I have used it before successfully with a different Provider)
I know that Google has its own implementation of IMAP, but they (or my stupidity) seem to have a general problem with imapfilter.
Whichever command I use after logging in with one command in my config.lua, I get:
S (3): 1001 BAD Failed to parse your command a28if1389911fak.3
C (3): 1002 NAMESPACE
S (3): 1002 BAD Unknown command a28if1389911fak.3
Login gives me:
S (3): * OK Gimap ready for requests from you_dont_see_my_ip a28if1389911fak.3
C (3): 1000 CAPABILITY
S (3): 1000 OK Thats all she wrote! a28if1389911fak.3
C (3): 1001 LOGIN "[email protected]" *
And the logout:
C (3): 1003 LOGOUT
S (3): 1003 OK Quoth the raven, nevermore... a28if1389911fak.3
The same happens, when I change my config.lua to solely represent my login credentials and use the command prompt.
Even with an INBOX:check_status() I get the above error.
Can anyone help me with this one? Would be appreciated

I did, thanks, I made a new account and everything matches their recommendations. But what I did do is change settings for how the POP mail is forwarded and that seemed to unblock the log jam. After it downloaded 700 or so messages it started working properly. For some reason or other the setting I set in the POP Forwarding don't stick - the buttons turn off when I return to that panel.
