How do I search old Gmail in Lion Mail...?

In Snow Leopard, I have three Gmail accounts feeding into Mail. When reading my mail, I could just hit delete and it would remove the item from my inbox, but keep it archived automatically. This would allow me to search all my messages, which I do a lot. Now that I have upgraded my iMac and moved to Lion, all of my old messages in Gmail are not included in my search results. I know I need to figure out the Smart mailboxes, but what about the past five years worth of email? I can't go through and catalog all of those messages that were accessible just yesterday. Any ideas?

How to not "read" Junk Messages In Lion Mail?

In the new setup in Lion Mail, the left column now has the subject line and first couple lines of the message.
To create any kind of action with the message, I have to select it. It then appears on the right and is seen as opened mail.
For most messages, this is okay, but for junk mailing (foreign entitities wanting money etc.), I don't want to open it but I do want to delete it.
Does anyone know how I can delete without "selecting" the message and automatically opening it or do I just have to use the alternate older view of Mail that is provided?

I second this... Some emails I don't want to see at all. (i.e. Prince SoNSo has left me a gazillion dollars, all I have to do is reply...) Is there and edit button in the new mail as similar to the one used on portables?

How can I change from gmail in apple mail settings? Gmail is greyed out.

My internet mail provider is changing away from a google platform. I need to change incoming and outgoing settings. Gmail is greyed out. If I delete the account and add it back, it still finds it on google an automatically enters the settings. I need to change those settings and can't over ride the automatic entry. Suggestions?

Doesn't make since. Who is the new provider? Were their any settings for converting between gmail and the new provider where the new address is forwarded to or included in gmail's settings? Seems somehow the old gmail account and the new account are connected somehow.
When you add a new account, hold the option key down before hitting continue after entering info on the first screen. You will get other options for account types to create.
In mail preferences, Accounts, check the advanced tab of the account and see if the first box for Automatically Detect and Maintain Account Settings is checked. If so, uncheck it.

yes. delete that account and recreate it as an imap account (gmail allows both). when creating the account using the account wizard uncheck the box to set it up automatically. This checkbox creates a POP account and you want imap.

How to get rss feeds in mountain lion mail

I don't see any way to get Apple RSS feeds to show up in Mountain Lion like the previous OSX. Does anyone one know how?

You don't. apple has removed the RSS feed features from Mail and Safari. You have to get a third-party RSS reader now.

How to use Yahoo or Gmail instead of Mail to send emails from Web Browser?

When I'm on the web & want to send a web page or link as an email, how do I change the default so I can use either my Yahoo or Gmail email account?
I don't want Apple Mail to open, but I want it sent from my internet email account.

A rather primitive way to use GMail via browser, is to
get a second browser for use with the web mail, & also
get Google Notifier, so you can select GMail to run in a
browser of your choice via Notifier.
For mine, I use Camino, a decently quick and current
browser; and have chosen it as the system Default
browser (you can do that in Safari) so Camino opens
if/when you click on something that needs a browser.
Notifier can run in the main Menu bar, and does OK.
As my systems all have at least four current browsers,
and I often find my use centers around Firefox, the
second browser used for web mail does not affect my
use of the primary browser when doing online tasks.
And I can hide the open web mail browser in the Dock.
So, this is my primitive cure for using web mail via browser.
This, due to the fact I never use any client Mail application.
And when I leave my computer (it is left asleep) I am sure to
use the Camino browser 'reset' command to wipe sessions.
(If you have your computer set up to require a password to
function on awakening from sleep, that can help keep it safe.)
Not sure how you could handle Yahoo mail, probably with a
login link in a browser, so you can click on it; or have the
Yahoo login a home page in a limited-use secure browser.
Probably there are other and better ideas; since I don't use
an email client app and don't have email other than Gmail,
this is a primitive way to make it work. Gmail Notifier is OK.
Not sure how supportive it may be, but it works in 10.5.8.
{And this allows one to choose an IP or other supplied email
account via Mail, separate from the gmail accounts.}
Good luck & happy computing!

Same old problem in Lion Mail with Fonts

Apple please let us finaly define a standard font familiy for new emails! Since years this is a very simple need from so many users. The problem is, that the sended emails looks very unprofessional in other clients like Outlook, because there is NO font family definition in the source code of the email - the result is, that the standard font of the client will be displayed to the user. In Outlook this is Times New Roman for example.
To write the text first and THEN change the format is NO solution for a everday 100 times process!
The old trick with the definition of a font in the signature and overwrite the first line with the content text also no longer works with Lion, because the cursor goes somewhere by hitting enter on the keyboard if I am in the "signature area".

Yeeeeees. Please - this is unbeleiveably frustrating. Apple, this is the longest standing bug I am aware of.

How do you remove duplicates in OSX Lion Mail?

I know there are a few posts floating around about removing duplicate emails with Mail Scripts, however this software isn't supported in Lion just yet. And I would like to do this now. What's the smartest way to remove duplicates across multiple IMAP folders on 1 account. I don't need something so elaborate that does cross accounts etc.
I've downloaded and installed MailSteward but it seems to only allow modifying a backed up copy. I need to remove live duplicates.
Anyone have any suggestions? Come on Apple, as if you guys don't get duplicate emails that this can't be programmed into the software...
I'd sincerely appreciate anyone's help.
Kindest,

Search Bug in Mountain Lion Mail

After having Mail open for a few hours, when I search for something all of the results in the left colum, which shows the sender, display my name only. I've tested this by searching by the persons name for the most recent item in my inbox, and my name still shows up regardless. If I quit and reopen mail this issue resolves itself, but as mentioned, only for a few hours. Anyone else notice this bug? I've tried to change the settings in Pref, but to no avail.

I have the same problem in 10.8. I have an email account (.domain) that forwards to my .mac account. In 10.7, with "Send new messages from account of selected mailbox" an email to .domain that was forwarded to my .mac account could be replied to with the sender being .domain. Now in 10.8, the same situation puts the sender as the .mac account. Something has clearly changed. Very annoying.
By the way, in both cases, I have one inbox with 4 accounts in it. But with 10.7 the email address it was sent to (even if it was forwarded) was used as the sender. Now it is always the account it was received in.
Not sure which one was a feature and which one is a bug.
Any thoughts on a work around (other than not forwarding) would be great.

How do you setup a gmail account in mail?

My college uses a gmail based mail client using google apps. However, i want to setup IMAP access in Apple mail for convenience. For some reason I cannot find a way for mail to access gmails incoming or outgoing mail client. Any tips? My college website is www.selu.edu. Webmail is located at the bottom of this page.
My email address is [email protected]
I then enter my password and continue.
on the next page i enter account type IMAP
and set the incoming mail server as imap.gmail.com
my username is the XXXX
and the password i enter then continue
after hitting continue the error message at the bottom reads:
"Logging in to the IMAP server "imap.gmail.com" failed. Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct, then click Continue. If the information isn't correct, you cannot receive messages."
Ii continue anyway and the inbox never receives messages and continously asks for a pass word
Any suggestions?

Solved my own problem:
When it asks for the username, you must include your domain, unlike other clients.
So i added my @selu.edu to the end and it worked fine. I'm sure this would work for all GoogleApps users
