How do I add a gmail account as a second email account?

I am trying to add a gmail account as a second account to my .me account on my icloud. I followed prompts but get an error message that I can't connect to the server. I have deleted the account to start from scratch. Any help is greatly appreciated :-) Thank you!

Open Mail and in the Accounts preference pane click on the "+" button at the bottom. Add your Gmail account. You'll need to know server information, etc. but you can add it. Then you can use Mail as your email client for Gmail:

How do I add a Gmail account to my Mail program

Hi
Until now, I have only had @verizon.net email accounts. I now how a @gmail.com email account
I don't know how to configure my Mail program so I can receive gmail to my computer, and not have to get it using a Browser.
I have attended to configure, but it does not work: I get the following:
For Incomgin Mail Server I use:
mail.gmail.com
I get this response:
The POP server “mail.gmail.com” is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the “Incoming Mail Server” field. If it still doesn’t respond, the server might be temporarily unavailable.

First off Gmail supports "imap" which will allow you to keep your computer Mail app, and gmail account in sync. I would suggest you setting gmail up for imap instead of POP.
1. Open Mail go to preferences, select Accounts.
2. In the account window in the left pane "Accounts" press the "+" button at the bottom to add a new account.
3. An Account window will appear asking for information, select IMAP for account type, Description put what ever you wish such as "Gmail IMAP" or if you are going to have more that one accunt fro gmail the "User Gmail IMAP", Enter your Name, and your new Gmail address ex. "[email protected]".
4. Enter the information for incoming mail. In the incoming mail server box type: imap.gmail.com, Your user name should appear in the User Name box automatically if it is incorrect the correct it, enter your password that you use to access the mail from the web with gmail. Then press Continue.
If all the info is correct it will let you continue, as mail at that point actually goes out to that gmail server and attempts a login with that account and password, if it fails at this point then some info like your user name and password are incorrect. If it all goes well go to step 5.
5. The next screen will be the Outgoing mail, in the Outgoing mail server: box type: smtp.gmail.com, select authentication and put in your username and password for that account like you did on the prev step. Then press continue. Mail will again go out to that server and attempt a log in to very the information. If all goes well then mail will come back with an account summary window, you can then press continue.
That should do it, if it doesn't work post back.

How do I get my Gmail account to behave like a POP account???

Ok, I've been using gmail as a POP account on my Mac for a while. Just got my first iPhone (3Gs). I synced it and set it up and everything was hunky dory. Then I decided to try out IMAP so I made a new IMAP account for my Gmail and disabled the POP account in Mail and removed it from the iPhone. After trying that out I realised I prefer to use POP. So I deleted the IMAP account from both Mac and iPhone... But when syncing my old POP account it behaves like an IMAP account on the iPhone... It doesn't have the same settings as my other non-gmail POP accounts... and loads all the folders from gmail... I have disabled IMAP in my Gmail account too... Still the iPhone seems to refuse to add a gmail account as anything but IMAP? I've even restored my iPhone to no avail...
Now if I delete a mail on the phone it never gets to my computer and I wanna be able to delete stuff from the phone without affecting the computer... gah!
Any suggestions?
< Edited by Host for language >

I gave in and am now using IMAP but I still find the behaviour a bit wierd...

The seller needs to follow this procedure:

If she refuses, then as Tim suggested the iPhone is probably stolen. You'll need to contact your local police department and ask how to proceed.

Mavericks mail will not allow me to add a gmail account

Help!
I am using running OSX Mavericks, including the new version of Mail 7.0 (1822). I cannot add a GMail account. Going through Mail: Preferences: Accounts, I give the information, but then get told:
There was a problem setting up the account.
Unable to verify account name or password.
If I click ok (the only option), Mail quits, so I cannot use the Connection Doctor to see what else is happening.
All my other programs that access the internet work, and I can access google calendar, for example, via BusyCal.
There must be something simple happening.... By the way, Mavericks Mail works perfectly on my machine at work!
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Roger

I had the same issue...I called apple support and they gave me the following instructions. Seems to be working perfectly fine.
- Go to Apple Mail
- Hit on Preferences, go to Accounts and hit the "+" button
- Select "Add other mail account", and hit continue
- Enter your Full Name, email address, and password (DO NOT HIT CREATE)
- Push down the option key, and while holding down the option key hit "NEXT"
- It will route you to the Incoming Mail Server Info window, here you will type in the Mail Server as: imap.gmail.com. Again type in your user name (complete email) and password. And again, hold down the option key, and while holding down the option key hit "NEXT".
- Then it wil route you to the Outgoing Mail Server. Type in the Outgoing Mail Server as: smtp.gmail.com, and again your email and password.
-Hit Create
Once you see the email account on your Apple Mail sidebar, go to compose a new message and send yourself an email to the new email account from your new email account
This worked for me and synced all my folders. Hope it works for you as well.

How do I add a smart mail box for my email account on my iPone?Is that possible?

How do I add a smart mail box for my email account on my iPone?Is that possible?(I mean mail box that sorting specific emails from my inbox)Thankssss.

You can't add a smart mailbox, but depending on your iOS version you can add a server stored mailbox with an IMAP or Exchange account for sorting received and sent messages by category. Not possible with a POP account.

Spending $ on iTunes ... How do I add $ to my account

How do I add $ to my account without going to the store to to purchase a redeemable card?
Where is the email address where I can email support with this question?

How do I add $ to my account without going to the store to to purchase a redeemable card?
This question does not need a response from the iTunes Store. The only way to add to your balance in your iTunes Store account is with a prepaid card or gift certificate or, if you're in the US, you can set up PayPal as the payment method. The iTunes Store has no facility for doing a direct transfer of funds from a credit card or bank account, if that's what you where thinking about. You can, of course, purchase an iTunes card from the online Apple Store and it will be mailed to you.

TS3899 How do you fix a gmail account on an iPhone 4G that stops downloading messages into the InBox?

How do you fix a gmail account on an iPhone 4G that stops downloading messages into the InBox? My gmail gave me a notice that said imap.gmail.com is not responding. Can send emails out but cannot download new messages into Inbox.

Hi! So I finally found a disk cleaning kit and tried it out. No luck : (
The exact thing that occurs is:
Put disk in. It does not show up. Cannot get it out.
Turn computer on and off.
Message comes up saying it cannot read the disk and if I would like to erase the disk or eject it.
Then I eject it.
That's the whole of the cycle.
So do you think that just means it;s busted and no other way I can solve it but go with the external drive at this point?
I appreciate the help.

Yosemite mail won't allow me to add a gmail account to it. Help?

After downloading Yosemite, I changed the password to my school gmail account. Shortly after I realized that Mac Mail would not allow me to send or receive messages. I deleted the gmail account off of my mac mail, and tried to add it again later in order to circumvent the problem. It did not work, as I now cannot add my gmail account back on. Accounts immediately replies "Unable to verify account name or password", or "cannot discover the account settings for the mail server ---." Any advice??

Hi njs72,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you are not able to re add the email account to Mail. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.
