Google Mail (Gmail) Sync Issues

After I put my computer into sleep, then wake it up, Mail stops syncing or retrieving new mail from Gmail server. Am I the only one who's having this problem? I tried deleting the account and logging in again, but it didn't change anything.
Any solutions? Thank you!

FWIW, this problem happens for me in Mavericks (10.9.5) too. It seemed like there was a point release or two where the problem seemed fixed, but it's definitely back in 10.9.5. I had hoped that Yosemite would address the issue. (I'm waiting a while until upgrading my main Mac.) The easiest solution that works for me is to quit Mail and open it again.
Out of curiosity, do you switch between Ethernet and Wi-Fi networks often while Mail is open? One of my unfounded speculations is that the frequent network switching I do "breaks" Mail's IMAP updates with Gmail. It'd be great if someone with more time than me logged the IMAP transactions between Mail and Gmail to see if this issue is a Mail or Gmail issue because iCloud IMAP (Oracle) seems to update fine…
Thanks!

OS Update 10.9.1 did NOT fix Gmail syncing issues with Apple Mail App?

Is it just me? Or is anyone else having the same issues of gmail still NOT syncing accross iPad and Mac Mail app in spite of the "update/fix" to OS? My mail on my three Macs and one iPad are still never synced corrctly. When I try "syncronize all mail boxes" in the mail app of the mac, it does not work.
I look directly at my Gmail online thorugh Safari on the Google site and see I have 2 emails in my IN box. Yet on one Mac it has 15 (13 of ehcih were deleted several hours ago). On another Mac it has 18. On the iPad it has it right as that is where I begain looking at end editing email today.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Mike

[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?

10.9.2 gmail sync issue

Like many, I have been waiting for 10.9.2 to cure issues with the Mavericks Mail app when using gmail. Unfortunately, the sync issue has not changed.
Sometimes the Mail app will sync with gmail, but many times I have to close and restart the Mail app to get new email.
Why is it taking so long AFTER the OS release to discover and correct a fundamental bug in a fundamental app within an OS?

To rebuild you go to the Mail pulldown menu. Mail -> Mailbox -> Rebuild. I believe the rebuild will only apply to the account associated with the inbox highlighted at the time the rebuild is done.
You can also try removing an account and recreating it, but I would try rebuilding first and see if that does it.
It looks like Don P. above also had his problems fixed by upgrading to 10.9.3, so I am hoping this does it for you!
I should note that Mac mail has frequently been slow finding new mail on my work Exchange server. This preceeded 10.9.3 for as long as we had the Exchange server at work and continues with it. The problem I had that was fixed by 10.9.3 was that every day or two Apple Mail would completely stop syncing to a Gmail account (I have two and the stoppages seemed uncorrelated). In order to get the syncing to restart, I had to fully quit and restart mail.
Good luck!

ARE YOU AWARE, THAT PROBABLY GOOGLE MAIL, GMAIL, HAS INTERFERED IN LIGHTBEAM'S PAGE SIZE ? I AM NOT ABLE TO SEE ALL THE GRAPH SIGN'S DOWN UNDER. CAN YOU RESET?

Are you aware that probably Google mail, has interfered in Lightbeam's page size ?
I am no longer able to see all the Graph Sign's in the centre of the page because they are now in majority, so almost completely, vertical down the horizontal line. ( although, Reset Zoom level is adjusted to 100% )
Can you reset the page size for me, and also the Graph Logo's back to the centre of the page again. Please.
At the same time:
My touch screen now, from my laptop, is extremely more Sensitive for Static load of my hands, resulting in trouble during the writing process, ... because, now the writing cursor, jumps away unexpected if my hand comes near to the Touch Screen.
It triggers my temper, ... Please, can You help me out here ???
Small history:
After I used the possibilities of blocking several Direct and In-directs followers of my personal Internet activities, it is Google Mail, who is in War with me now, and inside Gmail I am no longer able to sign out.
Because Gmail lay out is partly out of service.
Thank You all for your cooperation.

It is possible to reset the zoom size.Have you tried [[Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages|Firefox's zoom feature]]? This will help increase the size of web pages.
* To make things bigger, press '''Ctrl''' and '''&#43''' at the same time.
* To make things smaller, press '''Ctrl''' and '''-''' at the same time.
* To reset the size back to normal, press '''Ctrl''' and '''0''' at the same time.
You can also use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. add-on to change the default zoom level for all websites at once. After setting your global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
'''Using NoSquint:'''
#After installing NoSquint, make sure you have the Add-on Bar displayed:
#*Right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
#Click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
#*You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but it's not recommended that you go higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.
Please let us know if this helped you!
Thank you.

Gmail Syncing Issues

Outlook cannot find the server. Verify the server information is entered correctly in the Account Settings, and that your DNS settings in the Network pane of System Preferences are correct.
I keep on getting this error. I have checkedmy settings and cannot get this removed?
Is this perhaps due to internet connectivity issues?
Thanks

IPhone, Google & iCloud contact syncing issues

Hi everyone,
I'm having some issues getting my contacts synced correctly between my iPhone and Google account. I have searched a few forums looking for an answer for this particular problem and haven't found a solution yet so my apologies if I'm just missing something here.
I have always synced my contacts via my Gmail account. In my Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars section, I have iCloud set up and then Gmail set up through Exchange for Contacts ONLY. If I added a contact on my iPhone, it would always sync directly to my Gmail Contact Manager. I only noticed that there is an issue all of a sudden because I was given an iPad mini as a gift recently and noticed that not all of my contacts synced. I checked my Gmail Contact Manager this seems to be because any of the contacts I have added on my iPhone since probably last December are NOT listed. If I log into iCloud and check my contacts there, the only contact listed is me as I have always only had contacts listed which are from my Google account.
If I go into my Contacts app and hit Groups at the top left, all I see is Gmail/Exchange, Contacts (checked), Gmail/Exchange Global Address List (unchecked - if I try to click this no contacts appear at all), iCloud, All iCloud (checked). If I go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and scroll down to the Contacts section, the Default Account is listed as Gmail/Exchange. I have tried clicking "Import SIM Contacts" to no avail, changing the Default Account and clicking and unclicking Groups.
Where are the contacts I have added since December(ish) being stored? If they're not in my Google contacts nor in iCloud? How can I make them sync to my Google account again? Is there a way to "push"(?) everything to Google that I'm missing?
Thank you all in advance!

Best way is to use a 3rd party app managing groups. Easy Group is a free one I have developped.
Launch it, all your groups will automatically appear
Tap on "Edit"
Tap on red cross next to the groups you want to delete

Google Mail/Gmail integration for UCM?

Has anyone done, or given thought of how, to integrate checking in GMail to Content Server in a DIS like manner?

There is a problem with the N8 and Gmail (and google apps accounts too).
Mail for Exchange works fine to synch contacts, calendar and emails but replying to emails crashes the application. It doesn't on my E71/E72. As a workaround I have had to setup the same email account twice - once as a mail for exchange to sync contacts and calendar (disable email fetch, google server to use is m.google.com) - and the other as an IMAP for my emails. I am not at all happy with this but it will do for 1 more week after which the phone will be sent back if no solution is forthcoming from Nokia.
Using IMAP you can't have it set to soonest for retrieving emails. You must go in there and set it to 5 mins or longer. Then it will work. If you set it for soonest (i.e. push email) the client will not auto update until you open the email client. Settings for servers and secure ports using IMAP:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=78887
Edit: When setting up email by selecting Gmail, at the end of the setup process you should decline their terms and conditions . Doing so will create a direct IMAP connection with Google. If you accept the terms your emails will be routed through Nokia and then you will experience delays in deleting emails and will be restricted to sending a maximum attachement file size of 2MB.
These are all known issues and the biggest disappointed is that Nokia haven't once acknowledged it or told us when they might release a fix. Nokia should really be ashamed of their poor customer service.

Gmail Sync Issue

I have successfully synced my Google Calendar with both iCal and iOS Calendar. I have also synced my IMAP Gmail between my computers and iPad. The problem I have is that when I use Apple's Mail application to send a message, I can't see that message when I access Gmail via Web access. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just not possible?
The problem arises because my college only allows on-campus access to our Gmail accounts via Web Access in order to minimize security issues. So, I can't use Apple Mail from my campus iMac to access my Gmail accounts. But when I go home, I would like to use Apple Mail to work with both my personal and work email accounts.
Thanks for the help!

I'm having the same problem. It also won't sync when I delete emails in Gmail or on my iPhone - they still show up in Mail.

Still gmail sync issues

Still having 2 issues after 10.9.1. 1) It's slow to sync after sleep and 2) occassionally I'm missing a message until I close the mail app and reopen it. Any ideas on what gmail settings might be troublesome? I don't want to show All Mail.

Hi! I did the Google push and it's all working fine so far. Here the links I follow.

Gmail Sync Issue: Incoming Emails

I'm experiencing an issue with my gmail account syncing incoming emails in the email app. The yellow 'alert' triangle of death has appeared since 2/24/10, when I last received emails on 2/24/10. However, outgoing emails appear to successfully send. I've twice now deleted my gmail account and re-added it in hopes of fixing this problem. Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggested fixes please?
Thanks and Happy Friday. Hopefully the 1.4.0 Update will arrive soon and magically cure my gmail ailment.

I'm having the same problem. It also won't sync when I delete emails in Gmail or on my iPhone - they still show up in Mail.

Exchange Mail Re-Sync Issue

One of our users out in the Far East is having an issue with this ipad where everytime he changes to a new WiFi network the Exchange mailbox reloads and re-syncs? I've seen this happen once on my iPad here in the UK but the issue is happening all the time with the aformentioned user. Has anyone heard of or seen this before?

Thanks Gyrhead.
I understand there are restrictions on the support of the devices from a policy perspective but i wouldn't imagine that this would cause any issues with the mailbox re-initializing or reloading.
Since my first post the user has wiped his device back to factory defaults and then reconfigured the native e-mail client with his exchange account. For the first couple of days he experienced no issues as he previously reported, but now the issue has started again. His exchange account is currently on Exchange 2003 and he is based in Vietnam.
Any ideas?
To re-iterate the issue. User has setup an account with the native e-mail client on the ipad connected to his exchange 2003 account. Whenever he changes to a different WiFi network, the inbox clears down (goes blank) then re-synchronizes/reloads the inbox contents!
Cheers in advance

Google calendar iPhone sync issue

Unable to uncheck a calendar in the iPhone google calendar sync menu. Keep receiving notifications linked to this calendar even though I have disabled notifications.

Outlook is definately a problem. Ive been at it for a couple of days going through this thread and others. Still not syncing.
What Apple has to realize is that windows people have different microsoft offices, i use 2000 because the schedule is shared between everyone, this is an addon in newer copys of office.
When i make a call or recieve a call i would like to see an option to add the caller to the schedule .. When your on the phone with the caller you can just hit a button and it brings you right to the calendar and enters the caller in the schedule where ever you place them.
Anyway i will keep at the sync thing for a while and see what happens. Nothing so far. l8r
