Help with gmail and mail

Hi new to the mac when i put my gmail account into mail it keeps trying to download all my old mail as new, is there anyway I can stop it and just get the mail from now on in the app?

If you are accessing Gmail via IMAP: no. If you are accessing it via POP, then
1) Sign in to Gmail.
2) Click "Settings" at the top of any Gmail page,
3) click "Forwarding and POP/IMAP"
4) select the option "Enable POP for *mail that arrives from now on*"
Good computing.

Help with GMAIL in Mail Program....

Hi,
I am using the Apple Mail Program in Leopard and just picked up a Gmail account. I want to set up my Gmail account on 4 different computers work/home/laptop) that I access all the time and am hoping I can set it up so that wherever I check my mail it looks more or less like it does on Gmail.com with respect to the emails:
1. All mail that I've deleted on another computer is gone from all the other computers when checking mail on those other computers. Is that possible??? Currently, I use a bellsouth.net account and a .mac account, and when I log on to any of the computers via the mail program, it gives me all of my 'new mail', whether or not it was deleted on another computer.
2. Sent mail. Is there any way to send it on one computer's Mail program and have it show up in my Sent box on the other computers?
3. Ditto on Trash and other folders
I did try to set it up my Gmail account using IMAP but I thendeleted the account on Mail because it looked 'weird'. I had a Mailbox in my Inbox for the Gmail account and then also another whole separate, duplicate Gmail account (with All Mail, Drafts, Sent Mail, Spam, Starred, and Trash Folders) further down the left side of mail. In testing an email to gmail account from my .mac account, the mail ended up in two places in my Mail and deleting one did not delete the others.
If this cannot work, I can just go to gmail.com. BUT, I so love MAIL that I am hoping there is a fix to all this.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

My recollection is that unless you are a paid Hotmail account member, you cannot use Mail. Do a search within the discussion group, as I am not an expert, but I recall not getting Hotmail for that very reason.
Perhaps give gmail a try.....
That said....I still need some help with my posting! So please and thank you.

Problems with Gmail and Mail App

Up until now, my gmail account (with 2 step log-in) has worked fine on my iPhone.
Today - when refreshing mail, I got a pop-up saying that the username and password were incorrect and mail couldn't be retrieved from the imap server at Google. So...I went to my account settings on google - revoked the existing application specific password for my iPhone mail and then generated a new one. When I entered it on the settings screen on my iPhone, I got the same message - u/p incorrect!
I deleted my gmail account and started over...same thing!!
Now, I have no access to mail and I can't figure out what to try next!
Anyone got any ideas?? Thanks!

Well...after entering 6 different app-specific passwords and performing 3 separate reboots...mail is back up and running. Next time I'll probably try putting my right foot in the air and spinning around in my chair 3.5 times...stupid Google!

Configuring Apple Mail client to work with gmail and mail relays

I have a gmail account [email protected] and am successfully using this account from both my macbookpro an iphone.
I also have an e-mail relay account [email protected] I have successfully configured the email relay to send mail to [email protected] and get it fine on my mail client. My problem is that when I reply to these emails or create fresh e-mails, I'd like it to use the address [email protected] not [email protected] When I used to use Eudora, there was a setting in the account configuration screen called "reply to" this would change the reply to email account to whatever I wanted, in this case, [email protected] I have scoured the mail documentation and realize that I am missing something simple. I would appreciate any assistance with configuration settings necessary to have my relay alias show-up on my mail headings.
thanks
Art

The first thing to do is to log into the Gmail web site and configure your account so that it allows you to send mail from [email protected]
Then configure your account in Mail so that the Email Address is [email protected] That should do it. This is better than setting a reply-to because the mail will really be from [email protected] and not [email protected]
If you want, you can put both [email protected] and [email protected] in the Email Address (separated with a comma) in which case Mail will show a popup menu labeled From below the Subject. You can then select which address the message should be from.

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?

Help with setting up Mail on 2 Macs?

I'm switching from Mailsmith to Apple Mail. I have exported all my Mailsmith mailboxes and successfully imported them into Mail on the desktop Mac, then recreated each in the On My Mac section and dragged all the pertinent messages from the imported boxes to the newly created ones.
This is my first experience with IMAP and Mail and while I like the fact of being able to access all my incoming mail on both Macs - the G4MDD and the MBP - they run different versions of Mail as the G4 has Leopard 10.5.8 installed while the MBP runs Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with its later version of the Mail app.
What I would like to do is have the same mailboxes on both Macs. Is there any way of exporting or moving the database of the On My Mac mailboxes from Mail on the G4MDD to Mail on the MBP?
I'm not sure how this is supposed to work, but I imagine one keeps the active online version's Inbox etc. fairly lean and archives messages to the appropriate mailboxes in the On My Mac section, but unless one does it on both Macs, one no longer would have access to the archived messages on the other machine. Or does one create all the mailboxes in the online/upper portion of Mail so they will all be online and thus always available to all Macs? But if something happens (server messups do happen, even to Apple) one would then risk losing all past history, since the reference Mail is the online version and not the local ones.
Colour me confused. Newbie to Mail so I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks

Worries
Ok, I've read another article where it says, similarly to the Help bit you quoted:
"In Mail, you can simply drag one or more mail-boxes from your mailbox list onto the icon representing your IMAP server. Mail copies the mailboxes (even nested ones) and their contents to the server, creating new mailboxes as needed."
I can't find any icon representing my IMAP server in the Mail window. Nor do I see any IMAP accounts in that window. I see Inboxes for my various accounts (as well as Sent and Trash) but nothing as described in the above quote. Dragging or Option dragging a Mailbox I had created from the On My Mac section to the upper one dosn't work. Sigh. What am I missing?

I have fixed all my contacts in my address book on my mac...how do I sync with gmail and my iphone?

how do I set my mac contacts list as prime and sync with gmail and my new iphone?

As far as I can see, the gmail contacts list will sync automatically when you access your gmail account. As for getting it on the phone from a Mac, being a PC user, I can't help you there.

Help with writing and retrieving data from a table field with type "LCHR"

Hi Experts,
I need help with writing and reading data from a database table field which has a type of "LCHR". I have given an example of the original code but don't know what to change it to in order to fix it and still read in the original data that's stored in the LCHR field.
Basically we have two Function modules, one that saves list data to a database table and one that reads in this data. Both Function modules have an identicle table which has an array of fields from type INT4, CHAR, and type P. The INT4 field is the first one.
Incidentally this worked in the 4.7 non-unicode system but is now dumping in the new ECC6 Unicode system.
Thanks in advance,
C
SAVING THE LIST DATA TO DB

ENDLOOP.

Hi Anuj,
The unicode flag is active.
When I run our report and then to try and save the list data a dump is happening at the following point
LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
As I say, T_TAB consists of different fields and field types whereas L_WA is CHAR 800. The dump mentions UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE
When I try to load a saved list the dump is happening at the following point
APPEND T_DATA-RAWDATA to T_TAB.
T_DATA-RAWDATA is type LCHR and T_TAB consists of different fields and field types.
In both examples the dumps mention UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE

How do it get my app to show up with message and mail when the user press "share contact" on the iPhone

Hi Everyone
Would like to check if it is possible to let my app show up togather with message and mail app when the user clicks on "share contact" from their contact edit.
Thanks in advance.

Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button

Help with count and sum query

Hi I am using oracle 10g. Trying to aggregate duplicate count records. I have so far:
SELECT 'ST' LEDGER,
CASE
WHEN c.Category = 'E' THEN 'Headcount Exempt'
ELSE 'Headcount Non-Exempt'
END
ACCOUNTS,
CASE WHEN a.COMPANY = 'ZEE' THEN 'OH' ELSE 'NA' END MARKET,
'MARCH_12' AS PERIOD,
COUNT (a.empl_id) head_count
FROM essbase.employee_pubinfo a
LEFT OUTER JOIN MMS_DIST_COPY b
ON a.cost_ctr = TRIM (b.bu)
INNER JOIN MMS_GL_PAY_GROUPS c
ON a.pay_group = c.group_code
WHERE a.employee_status IN ('A', 'L', 'P', 'S')
AND FISCAL_YEAR = '2012'
AND FISCAL_MONTH = 'MARCH'
GROUP BY a.company,
b.district,
a.cost_ctr,
c.category,
a.fiscal_month,
a.fiscal_year;
which gives me same rows with different head_counts. I am trying to combine the same rows as a total (one record). Do I use a subquery?

Hi,
Whenever you have a problem, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) from all tables involved.
Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data, with specific examples.

I am trying to combine the same rows as a total (one record). Do I use a subquery?Maybe. It's more likely that you need a different GROUP BY clause, since the GROUP BY clause determines how many rows of output there will be. I'll be able to say more after you post the sample data, results, and explanation.
You may want both a sub-query and a different GROUP BY clause. For example:
WITH    got_group_by_columns     AS
     SELECT a.empl_id
     ,     CASE
                    WHEN c.category = 'E'
              THEN 'Headcount Exempt'
                    ELSE 'Headcount Non-Exempt'
            END          AS accounts
     ,      CASE
                    WHEN a.company = 'ZEE'
                    THEN 'OH'
                    ELSE 'NA'
            END          AS market
     FROM              essbase.employee_pubinfo a
     LEFT OUTER JOIN mms_dist_copy             b ON   a.cost_ctr     = TRIM (b.bu)
     INNER JOIN       mms_gl_pay_groups        c ON   a.pay_group      = c.group_code
     WHERE     a.employee_status     IN ('A', 'L', 'P', 'S')
     AND        fiscal_year           = '2012'
     AND        fiscal_month          = 'MARCH'
SELECT    'ST'               AS ledger
,       accounts
,       market
,       'MARCH_12'          AS period
,       COUNT (empl_id)      AS head_count
FROM       got_group_by_columns
GROUP BY accounts
,            market
;But that's just a wild guess.
You said you wanted "Help with count and sum". I see the COUNT, but what do you want with SUM? No doubt this will be clearer after you post the sample data and results.

Does anyone know about the privacy policies regarding Notes written on iphone? What about if they are synced with Gmail and get sent to All Mail folder?

I recently found all of my notes (written on my iphone) in my All Mail folder (of my gmail). I think this is because I had selected that my Notes by synced with my Gmail (under Gmail account settings). So I experimented by unsyncing it, then wrote a few more notes, and they stopped appearing in my Gmail All Mail folder. Then, to check, I re-synced it, and wrote some more notes, and they still have not shown up in my All Mail folder. I am freaked out about the unreliability of the systems regarding my personal notes I wrote to myself--both about personal things and to do lists... The fact that it is SO iffy and unclear (Where the notes go and why, where else they may have ended up), is super frustrating to me. What are Apple's privacy policies? Icloud's privacy policies? Gmail's privacy policies? Ergh.
-Frustrated by unreliability and lack of clarity pertaining to personal documents and where they go and where they are stored (even after deletion).

If you go to settings , notes , you can switch we're you want them to go for default. But both your gmail and iCloud have password protection so unless you give someone your password I'm positive nobody can see them. You should also have if you don't already a password on your iPhone to unlock it. Good luck

Gmail and Mail

I was wondering if someone could help me configure my Mail settings, so that whatever I do in the Mail application, will be mimicked online by the Gmail account.
Right now when I delete an e-mail message in Mail, it still stays on the Gmail online, making it really difficult to find things when I need to.
I also can't seem to be able to create folders for my Gmail account in Mail and was hoping that someone could help me change the settings in Mail so that I can do that!
Thanks!

Dr.Gerd,
I would recommend setting up your gmail account with imap settings. Instructions found here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=81379
Hope that helps

Help with Gmail IMAP in Mac Mall: Folders transfered from Exchange server

I'm in the process of migrating a mail account from an Exchange server over to Goggle Apps. I've transfered all old mail and the existing Exchange folder structure over to Gmail. Gmail doesn't recognize folders but instead reads the folder structure as Labels. When the account is subsequently imported into Mac Mail it appears that the orgiginal Exhange folder structure holds on the other side, which was my intent. These folders appear in Mail within the Mailboxes>Inbox.
However, there doesn't seem to be a way to insert a new folder into the Gmail IMAP account within the Inbox folder structure. I have successfully created a new "Mailbox" in Mail, but this appears to get inserted into the local version of the Gmail account much lower on the left hand side bar. It seems that I can pick up the "Mailbox" once it is created and move it up into the intended location, but only as a sub-folder. I am not able to promote it to the desired heirarchy or intended location.
Does anyone have any history with this or possibly a fix or suggestion?
Thanks!
