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.

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.

Need help with Rules for mail accounts

Today I deleted a rule for a mail account and now I cant receive mail in 4 of 8 accounts. I'm not experienced with Mac's Mail program. Id there something you have to do for multiple accounts to recieve all mail? I can send but not receive.
Help!
~ Tammy

It's hard to believe that deleting a rule could have a bearing on the ability to receive messages from any account... unless that rule did something that prevented subsequent rules to process the messages that you apparently can't receive now.
That is, either having deleted the rule has absolutely no bearing on your problem, or the problem is that those messages are now being processed in an unexpected way by some of your other rules.
What type of accounts are these (POP, IMAP, .Mac)? What does "I cant receive mail in 4 of 8 accounts" mean?

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!

Connection failures with GMail in Mail 6.0

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, Mail transferred my accounts to the new format and since then I have been having connection issues with my GMail accounts. The strange thing is that they connect fine as soon as I open / restart Mail, but fail to connect after some time, with no apparrent solution. I've triple checked all settings, which worked fine under Lion and still work fine initially. I've never seen a problem like this where the accounts stop working after a certain time, so I'm stumped. Any help would be appreciated!

Thank You iPatA
You solved my problem!
I just wanted to add a second option for people who find this thread but want to keep their 2 step verification with gmail & upgraded Mountain Lion - Mail6.0.
From other thread...
Found solution, Yeay!   Mail 6.0, Mountain Lion (osx 10.8, upgraded) is not compatible with Gmail if one has 2-step verification set up on their gmail security settings.
There are 2 options to solving problem
1)   https://discussions.apple.com/message/19109209#19109209)
This will take you through the process to disable 2-step security feature on gmail security page. Thank You iPatA.
2)   http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=ch_b/0/SmsAuthConfig& answer=185833
This will take you through the process of assigning an "application specific password" to upgraded Mail 6.0 for successful communication between Mail 6.0 Mountain Lion while Keeping a 2 step verification process if you prefer.
A looking for way I can give you "This solved my question" check & points. Let me know if you know how I can do this.   Option not popping up in thread.
You Rock

Help with OSX server mail setup

Please if anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong, I would be very grateful. I have a company with an externaly hosted website and an an internally hosted email (OSX server). I have everything kind of working, but some things don't seem quite right. I'll explain below:
I have a purchased domain: mycompany.com hosted by godaddy.
I am using Godaddy name servers: ns65.domaincontrol.com and ns66.domaincontrol.com
The external godaddy DNS has an a name entry for my mail server: mail pointing to 123.123.123.123 (which is my companies external static IP address).
There is also a null (@) a name record for my website hosting service (squarespace) pointing to 456.456.456.456
There is a cName record www pointing to the squarespace domain "www.squarespace6.com" (know this is unusual, but it is how squarespace asks this to be set up and does not work otherwise)
There is an MX record with priority 10 and host name @ pointing to mail.mycompany.com
I have a airport extreme router with the appropriate ports forwarded to the OSX server.
The DNS servers on the router are pointed to the internal IP address of the OSX server
I did not change the domain name on the router (mistake?) it is currently san.rr.com
On the OSX server I have set up host name to be mycompany.comDNS is set up with primary zone being mycompany.com
Primary Zone entries include
nameserver = mycompany.com
machine record host name is mycompany.com and the IP address is the internal IP address of the OSX server
another machine record with host name "mail" and IP address is the internal IP address of the OSX server.
Finally, there is a mail exchanger record with mail server "mail.mycompany.com" and priority 10
There are 2 entries autocreated in the Reverse zone
Mail is setup and running on the OSX server providing mail for "mail.mycompany.com"
Users are setup with email address: [email protected] (note: without the mail subdomain - I think this is OK?)
I am using self signed certificate.
In my clients (windows Thunderbird, Mac Mail, iOS mail), the settings are for the incoming mail server host name to be "mail.mycompany.com" and the outgoing also to be "mail.mycompany.com"
I woud have expected this to be imap.mycompany.com and smtp.mycompany.com respectively, but it doesn't work when I input these values and works with the former. Have I set this up wrong?? imap seems to require SSL on port 993 and SMTP seems to require TLS on port 587.Outlook on PC gives me an error that after googling appears to be a problem with not recognizing a fuly qualified hostname form the SMTP client. I see the fix, but wanted to know if that meant that my server didn't have a fully qualified host name and whether I should change that rather than just remove that restriction???
The final problem is that my outgoing emails seem to be getting caught up in other people's spam filters too frequently. What is the main reason for this? Is it because I have set something up wrong and it brings up flags or is it simply because I am not a huge hosting company, or somethign else althogether?
If you've gotten this far, big thanks! If you can help me, even more thanks!

Well, actually they are both getting caught up in spam filters and bounced back. I actually realized that part of the problem is that I have a dynamic IP address, but it doesn't change. Regardless, on the bounce back it looks like hotmail and other domains are rejecting email from my IP and recognize it as dynamic. This was a test server that i would by physically taking to my business where there is a static business IP address (Cox).
Sorry for the very long original message, but it seems that most people don't post enough information for the problem to be solved in their original posts and I was hoping to provide as much detail as possible.
The other is the question of "are things set up right?" It seems strange to me that both my outgoing and incoming servers are "mail.mycompany.com" and not imap.mycompany.com and smtp.mycompany.com and I wonder if this is going to cause me to have problems?
Is it a problem that my email addresses are [email protected] and not [email protected]?
Was I supposed to change the domain name on the router?
Also is it going to be a problem that I am using a self signed certificate?

Safari won't open web page on my domain with apple e-mail program open

Mail Version 3.2
Imac 2.4 ghz 3 gig ram
Mac OS x 10.5.2 up to date
After installing Safari 3.1, I have had an issue that I thought was going to drive me mad. If I have the mail program open, I cannot access any webpage on my domain. Lets say my domain was vvv.com. If I have the mail program open I cannot access www.vvv.com, no any subdomains on there. If I close the mail program and then just refresh the page in the browser, it works just fine. I have searched thru the forums, but cannot identify a solution. If anyone has an idea for me to try, I would appreciate any feedback and helpful hints. Yes, I know that I can just close the email program, but I am in the process of starting up a business website and having to remember to open my email program every so often is something I don't need.
And by the way, the problem also affects firefox also.
Thanks in advanced..

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

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?

Please help with structure of my program

I am hoping someone can help me with a motor control program that I am
writing. The program is too large to post here, but I attached a
rough outline of the program. I think the problem is with the
higher level logic, so hopefully that will provide the necessary
information.
I have a front panel with lots of buttons to control the motors (eg:
power, stop, start). There is an event structure that contains
most of those buttons (power, start, etc), but if that structure is
exectuting, the other buttons won't work. I need to be able to
stop the motors and exit at any time (for safety), so I made another
event structure that contains the stop and exit buttons. Is this
the right way to do this?
Also, I want all the loops in the program to run continually until the
exit button is pressed. Since the exit button actually calls
exit.vi and closes the whole program, I just wired a F constant to the
stop on the while loops so they never stop. Could this be causing
my problems?
Hopefully I provided enough information here, but if not, please write back and let me know.
Thanks,
Kasey
PS. In case anyone wonders why the whole thing is in a sequence, I need
it for other aspects of the program (safety lights, etc...). I
doubt it makes a difference, but I wanted to include it.

This is the first time I have seen a case where it is useful to have two or more event structures in one program. Since they are in separate parallel loops, I would think there would not be a problem. I like the idea that the program can be stopped in the middle of an event, for safety reasons. Great structure, Kasey. The only thing I would add is to make sure that your exit vi gracefully shuts down the program. Like if files or references are open, they get closed before terminating the vi. Just be on the look out for race conditions since you have 3 events that can happen at one time. One event might affect some indicator that is being handled by another event. Also, instead of wiring a false to the other loops, maybe you could use local variables of one general stop boolean. Since your exit vi stops all execution, it may not make much of a difference.

Help with a Word Counting Program..

I need some help with a program I am trying to write
The program is being written in BlueJ.
Im just starting the program and am completely confused on how I should write this...
But here is what I have to do..
I have to use a scanner to scan a Text file and count the # of Words the number of Vowels (including Y when it is) and the # of Palindromes (Word spelled same forward and Back) as well as which Palindromes are being used.
It would be good to have a class to clean the text and a seperate class for the tasks...
I do not want to use anything other than "If" statements and while loops (no "for" loops) and only use Printwriter as the output file writer.
Thnx to anyone in advance

I have a basic Vowel coding that doeswnt work...
public class vowel{
String word = "heyyou";
String vowels = "aeiouy";
int[] countv = new int[vowels.length()];
int countv2;
int i=0;
if(i<word.length();) { i++ {
if (int j=0 && j<vowels.length()) {
return j++;
if (word.charAt(i)==vowels.charAt(j)) {
countV[j]++; countV2++;
for (int i=0; i<vowels.length(); i++) {
System.out.println("Vowel "vowels.charAt(i)" = "+vcnt);
System.out.println("Consonants = "+(word.length()-vtot)); }
I also have a basic Palindrome code that works as a boolean but I need to make it return what the palindromes are and how many of them are there. I wanna know how I would do this.
public class Palindrome{
public static boolean isPalindrome(String word) {
int left = 0;
int right = word.length() -1;
while (left < right) {
if (word.charAt(left) != word.charAt(right)) {
return false;
left++;
right--;
return true;
I would also like to know how to actually start writing the word counter.

Help with 7 segment led program

hey, I need some help with my program. The program is supposed to make digital numbers display randomly with a possible decimal point in it. If the decimal # has a leading zero, then the zero needs to be not displayed. also, when you click the change color button, the numbers and decimal point are supposed to change to one of three preset colors. I've got the numbers changing colors, but I can't get the decimal point to change color, nor can I get the numbers to change randomly.

Your code does not compile.
EDIT:
for instance your Main class alone has a several glaring problems that suggest that you are foundering here. Please see comments in code below:
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
        JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
        MyJFrame mjf = new MyJFrame();
        // why use "while (true)"??? Swing is supposed to be event driven and doesn't need loops like this.
        // do you need to use a Swing Timer instead?
        while (true) {
            int deci = (int)(Math.random() * 3);
            int num = (int)(Math.random() * 1000);
            // why is the method below being called as if it were a
            // static method when it's not? This is not a legal
            // expression
            Digit.DisplayNumber(num, deci);
            // why is the method below putting the event dispatch thread
            // (the EDT) to sleep. While this is legal, it's not a smart
            // thing to do
