  • No contacts show up after setting up CardDav with gmail- any idea how to fix?

    No contacts are showing up after setting up CardDav with gmail. Any idea why?
    Here is how i setup CardDav (with no success)
    1. I removed my old gmail account that was setup with the Exchange protocol, checked that my Exchange-Gmail contacts were no longer showing in my Contacts app, then rebooted my iPad.
    2. I setup my gmail contacts with the CardDAV protocal as per google's instructions (which match everyone's instructions when I googed to troubleshoot). Google's instructions can be found here: http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2753077 .
    3. No contacts showed up in my contacts app. I have verified all of Google's troubleshooting tips such as ensuring SSL in enabled, etc. There were no problems or error messages when verifying my username and password. I also checked to make sure my contacts were in Google's "My Contacts" group, which they were.
    After pulling my hair out a little, removing the account and going through the steps over and over for an hour, I have given up and gone back to syncing my contacts with the Exchange protocol as per: http://support.google.com/a/users/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740 . My contacts show up instantly with this method.
    I would like to get cardDAV working, since Google is phasing out Exchange ActiveSync, and CardDAV seams to support more fields etc (although it is not Push sadly).
    Any ideas? Thanks for your reply if you can think of anything.

    Hey there AppJunkie ...
    I'm having this issue too. The odd thing about it is that when using my iOS devices, all of the contacts (and other address books) all show up exactly as I expect and want them to. Now, on Mac OS X, that's a different story. There doesn't seem to be the same functionality between the two Apple operating systems.
    Quite frustrating, as I have clients who expect these to work with no problem on their Mac desktops, since their mobile devices work perfectly. They let me know their mobile devices work, and they want the problem fixed. I have nothing I can say or even suggest. It is very discouraging.
    I have not been able to find any fix or workaround for this, unfortunately.

  • Having trouble setting up Mail with a POP account

    I am trying to set up Mail with my Universities webmail service, and according to their tech page I need to set it to POP. I also made sure that I have the incoming and outgoing mail servers correct, and i've made certain that I am entering my username and password correctly. But when it loads and trys to get my mail it says that the password I supplied is incorrect, but I know that's not true. I am absolutley sure that both the username and password are entered correctly.
    Does anybody know how I might fix this?
    p.s. my girlfriend is having the exact same problem, so it isn't just me entering something wrong

    I know you said the usernames/passwords are correct but, (if you can), login via webmail using those same strings, see if that works.
    Write the text to a note and copy and paste from there so you are sure you've not input something wrongly.
    Failing that do a quick keychain first aid too.
    If that don't work then I'm out of ideas, (for now at least).

  • Help setting up Mail - to work with my MSN and Hotmail email accounts.

    Can you walk me through the entry steps in setting up Mail to recognize my MSN and Hotmail email accounts. I don't know how to do this. Please keep it simple, what entries I need to make, screen by screen. I'm indebted to you.

    Hi,
    First of all you might want to double check the settings you are using for the POP3 account in Mail with Microsoft's instructions:

  • Can't sync Apple Mail with Gmail and Yahoo

    Hi all, I really hope you can help. I have e-mail accounts with Gmail and Yahoo, and I'd really like to set either or both of these up in Apple Mail, primarily so that it will be really quick and easy to send people photos from my iPhoto library.
    I've put in the correct info and I've enabled POP and IMAP in my Gmail settings, but when I try and set up it just says "checking connection to server [email protected]" for ages and doesn't acheive anything. When I did somehow manage to set it up briefly, I tried sending a message and it just dissapeared when I pressed send, didn't appear in my sent mail either in Gmail or in Apple Mail, and was not delivered.
    Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm really frustrated that something that should be so simple could be such a pain - setting up e-mail on my iPhone took seconds and works perfectly! Thanks,
    Malinna

    Hi Malinna,
    Did you follow Google's instruction on how to setup Mail.app and GMail?

  • Apple Mail, iPad & iPhone mail with GMail imap

    Hi,
    I'm using a MacBook Pro 13", a iPad 4 (actual retina) and an iPhone 4.
    I have issues using apple mail with my Gmail imap account :
    Only the inbox seem to be fully compatible with every device I use, but the outbox, for example, seem not to be the same box on all device.
    when I send a mail from my MacBook, the sended mail doesn't appear in the Mail's classical outbox but in a sub-box of Gmail box on the bottom, and I can't find any trace of the mail on iPhone/iPad.
    Is there anything I can do to make that I have the same Inbox, Outbox, Draft, Spam and Trash boxes in all my device and server.
    I tryied with iCloud mail account and this works perfectly !!
    If it's not possible, is it possible to set my icloud mail account to be with my own domain name as it is on my Gmail acount ?
    thanks

    On iOS, there is no local configuration for the Sent Mail. for Gmail, it automatically goes to the Sent Mail folder. But Sent Mail only shows up when you tap Gmail under the Account setings, not in Inboxes. For OSX, however, you may be able to configure a designated folder (that can be either on the local machine or on the account server). To be honest, I can't recall where that configuration is, and do not have the MBP in front of me. This article may help (or provide links to instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5361

  • Iphone Mail with Gmail

    Hello,
    I just received my Iphone and managed to set up my gmail Imap account quickly and efficiently, it works beautifully.
    The problem is I have another alias on the same account and I would like to add it in.
    I was told that in the settings page I could go to email address and put a comma in plus the alias and it would all work... it doesnt.
    There is no comma option in the email address box for the account.
    Can someone help with this? Am I adding it to the wrong box?
    In an idea world I would like to be able to choose whether I send with the alias or the main address within mail without having to add a new account
    Thanks in advance
    Alex

  • Setting up email with Gmail with Muse site hosted on BC

    Help! I am new to all of this so any help is appreciated! Here is my problem:
    Bought Domain name from GoDaddy, threw up a jpeg placeholder, and set up emails using gmail. All worked fine.
    I designed a site in Muse, took down the jpeg thru Godaddy, and am now hosting site through Business Catalyst. Now when I try to email something to this address, it gets kicked back with this message:
    Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:
        [email protected]
    Technical details of permanent failure:
    Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain consigningwomensc.com by mx.consigningwomensc.com.cust.b.hostedemail.com. [64.98.36.4].
    The error that the other server returned was:
    554 5.7.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: user [email protected] does not exist
    I can log into gmail and send from that account (I am the administrator)  but I can't send TO the account without getting a kickback.
    Can anyone shed some light or some guidance for this issue before my client notices!?
    Thanks!

    The domain consigningwomensc.com is redelegated to BC and the MX records are setup to point to our mail servers (which is invalid because you cannot create email accounts in free Creative cloud sites as those are webBasics) and hence the email bounced as the mail account doesn't exist at our end.
    I believe you're using Google apps for your email accounts so what you need to do here is to login to your site admin and delete the current MX record and re-create the MX through the More Actions tab while choosing "Use your Google Apps account for email".
    Thanks,

  • Using Mail with GMAIL (Pop)

    Has anyone experienced the following issue? I have set up my two gmail accounts to work with Mail on my new MacBook and for some reason the Mail program is not receiving all the mail. I know I am getting more mail than what is showing up because GMAIL is also set up to work with my blackberry. My BBerry will jingle with a new email message and then I'll sit there and wait for Mail to receive the message and it will never arrive. I have Gmail set up to work with Outlook on my Dell PC and it is working fine. For some reason all the bloody messages are not making it to my inbox on the MacBook and I can't think what it is. I'm using PoP on the Gmail end because the Imap seemed to slow.

    Okay, things are progressing somewhat. Mail has now imported my messages on from my primary account and seems to be okay (using IMAP). I decided to add my secondary gmail account that I use for work related messages and that (also using IMAP) doesn't seem to be working so smoothly. So far Mail has crashed 3 times and had to "re-import" all 13,000+ of my messages. I have no idea why. Also, any mail sent to the second gmail account is not showing up in the primary inbox and isn't giving me a "new mail" notification via the red number that shows up in the top right hand corner of the postage stamp. Any ideas?

  • Duplicate emails in Mail with gmail

    Hi, I keep getting multiple duplicate emails in my inbox. Even the one's I've deleted keep coming back. They appear across my folders and it's really frustrating as I'm unable to stop it. I've checked the discussions but cannot see an obvious solution (unless I'm looking in the wrong place) other than to disable my POP account in gmail settings, which I've done. Can anyone offer any help please?

  • Mail with gmail

    I have synced my gmail to "mail". When I delete mail from my gmail account via safari it does not seem to recicate to mail. Hence, I have these e-mails in the inbox which I have already deleted on the web. Whats up with this?

    Igor_G5 wrote:
    When you delete mail on gmail online it doesn't delete it from your mail inbox unless you deleted them online without opening mail first. Once it downloads to your inbox it's there until you delete it from mail.
    That is incorrect, GMail synchronizes with Mail's inbox at whatever schedule you set.

    Apple Mail: Setting up Workspace Email
    Date Submitted: 3/2/15
    Apple® Mail lets you check your Workspace Email accounts on your desktop.
    This article uses information from Mac OS X 10.9.5, but previous versions use similar settings.
    NOTE: After adding multiple email accounts to Apple Mail, you can toggle between them using the sidebar in the left.

  • Setting up Mail with College E-mail

    I've been trying to set up my college mail with the mac mail program. I type in the imap account as mail.uncw.edu, the smtp as smtp.uncw.edu, and it never is able to recognize the server. Could the problem be coming from the fact that my school uses outlook mail if you were to just go to the mail.uncw.edu web site and attempt to check it?

    As a UNCW alumnus, I really wanted to help you out. The only thing I could find out (through a google search) on how to set up UNCW email on your Mac was a mention on this page:
    http://www.uncw.edu/itsd/macsupport.htm
    I don't know how current the page is, but they state that:
    +Entourage 2004 is the first native OS X Email client that allows Macintosh users to connect to the UNCW Exchange server, on or off campus.+
    Hope this helps.

  • Setting up Mail with Optimum Online

    I'm trying to set up Mail to work with the internet service provider Optimum Online on a brand new MacBook running OS X 10.5. This is a "first time" set up for Mail. I think I entered all the information correctly but I cannot connect to the Optimum Online Mail server. I can't complete the setup. I'm sure I have the correct user id and password to access the mail server. Mail just won't complete the automatic set up of the account. Does anyone have any ideas I can try to fix this? I can't use Mail at all, since I can't get past the automatic set up screens at all...
    Thanks!

    Thanks again for the advice. I was able to finally connect to receive email, so I know I'm connected to the incoming mail server. I still can't send email though. I'm not able to connect to the outgoing server. It is a POP3 account. I've entered what I think are the correct server names, but I can't connect to the outgoing mail server. I did delete the com.apple.mail.plist file and restarted Mail, but the start up screen still had some information already added in the fields. After my latest attempt to set up the account, after waiting for quite some time, I did an message saying "unable to connect to smtp server. Make sure username and password are correct, etc. I clicked continue and was able to get into Mail. For some reason, this particular ISP uses the same server name for both incoming and out going email. I haven't run across this before. Also, in Mail Preferences, under Accounts, the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): field has the correct server name followed by (Offline). I can't seem to take this server online. Going to the advanced tab shows the "Use default Ports" (25, 465,587) radio button selected. Authentication: Password, etc.. I don't know if this helps you or not. Thanks again for the advice... Ed
