How to get sent mail from Gmail server onto my mac

I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. When configuring Mail I used POP ( I prefer it) with my Gmail account and it tediously uploaded all my received mail from the Gmail server to my mac mail program. How do I get the sent mails on the Gmail server onto my computer?

Not sure if this will work as I use IMAP. Go to Mail>Preferences>Accounts> click on mailbox behaviour, uncheck 'store sent messages on server' if it is checked. Then try a fetch mail and see if it works.

I am new to Mac Pro but am purchasing one online. can anyone tell me how to get the information from my Toshiba onto the Mac. there are no stores in the state I live in. Do I need to find a location and will they do a transfer from my I Tunes etc?

I am new to Mac Pro and am purchasing one online tonight. Can anyone tell me how to get my information - Itunes, photos, and videos transferred onto the Mac from my Toshiba. the state I live in doesn't have an Apple store but I could take it to Minneapolis when I go. Any ideas where to begin?

You might profit from a visit to a Minneapolis Apple store. With a brand new Mac, I think they will be most helpful - not just with transferring files, but with other advice as well. And I strongly recommend you invest in a back up drive. The Apple folk can help with that as well.

Select "export' while in Windoz/Outlook and cerate an export file, then while in MacOS/Outlook select "import" and select the same file to import. You can use a thumb drive to sneakernet the file.

How to get internet mail into my server - any advice?

To clear the pipeline and reduce the amount of configuration, I decided to get rid of my private router and plug my server directly into the modem, thus using the server as the gateway/router for other computers in my home. Hopefully this will eliminate the need for an internal/private network DNS configuration as well as an external/public DNS configuration.
I have a registered public domain name of N.com and an associated public MX record for this domain which is also named N.com (as opposed to mail.N.com or something similar).
I reinstalled the Leopard Server software and when the setup asked for a "primary DNS name" I named it N.com (the same name as my registered public domain). I went into firewall settings in the Server Admin and "allowed"/opened port 25 as well as 80 for email and web services respectively.
When I looked in the Mail settings the default domain name is "localdomain" and the default hostname is N.com (the same as my registered public domain). Default user addresses are [email protected]
So here is the problem. I have no problem seeing the server's webpages from the internet, but I still cannot get any mail from the internet to show up in my user accounts.
What more do I need to do?

Not sure if this will work as I use IMAP. Go to Mail>Preferences>Accounts> click on mailbox behaviour, uncheck 'store sent messages on server' if it is checked. Then try a fetch mail and see if it works.

How to import ALL MAIL from Gmail to OSX Mail?

I am trying to migrate my mail system over to OSX Mail from Google Mail, but I can't seem to make "All Mail" show up as an option in OSX Mail, even though I have the folder checked in the Gmail settings to share with outside apps. I am on Yosemite and a MacBookPro.
How are others switching to OSX Mail from Gmail?
Thanks for your help!

You open your email - edit - then select each email to delete.
If you have an imap account you can delete it from the server and it will reflect on yoru phone.

How to get All Mails from outlook

Hi am reading mail from outlook.. It reads only unread mails. But i want to read all mails. if any one knows please help me..My code is..
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class AllPartsClient {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Properties props = new Properties();
    String host = "myhost";
    String username = "myuser";

    String provider = "pop3";
    try {
      Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
      // Connect to the server and open the folder
      Store store = session.getStore(provider);
      store.connect(host, username, password);
      Folder folder = store.getFolder("INBOX");

String disposition = p.getDisposition();
String contentType = p.getContentType();
if (fileName == null && (Part.ATTACHMENT.equals(disposition)

// pick a random file name. This requires Java 1.2 or later.
fileName = File.createTempFile("attachment", ".txt").getName();
if (fileName == null) { // likely inline
p.writeTo(System.out);
else {
File f = new File(fileName);
// find a version that does not yet exist
for (int i = 1; f.exists(); i++) {
String newName = fileName + " " + i;
f = new File(newName);
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(f);
// We can't just use p.writeTo() here because it doesn't
// decode the attachment. Instead we copy the input stream
// onto the output stream which does automatically decode
// Base-64, quoted printable, and a variety of other formats.
InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(p.getInputStream());
int b;
while ((b = in.read()) != -1) out.write(b);
out.flush();
out.close();
in.close();
catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e);
e.printStackTrace();
In this code if Content is Multipart then it is not displaying content..
Thanks

How can I move mail from Gmail to another account?

Mail.app in Mavericks is incompatible with Gmail. I use Gmail. I have about 2GB of mail, most of it in a few dozen archive folders, stored on Gmail, and (I think) duplicated locally on my Mac Mini.
I think my best recourse is to switch to an email service provider that conforms to the IMAP standard (which Gmail does not). Assuming I find one, I will have both accounts, Gmail and the new one, in Mail.app. How can I move the mail from Gmail to the other account?
In Mail.app in Mavericks, All Mail must be marked to show as a folder, and when I move a message from a folder in Gmail it will still be in the All Mail folder.
When all folders are empty, including the Inbox, can I be sure that every message has been moved to the new account, even though every message is still in the All Mail folder?

--> mine's working fine. I know there are issues, but it should work
I think my best recourse is to switch to an email service provider that conforms to the IMAP standard (which Gmail does not).
--> yes, it would be nice if they adhered to standards. That said, mine works great. So far.
Assuming I find one, I will have both accounts, Gmail and the new one, in Mail.app. How can I move the mail from Gmail to the other account?
--> If all you want to do is keep your history, make a local folder on your mac and drag all the mail messages there (both se4nt and incoming). I am not sure what will happen if you later drag those into the new Xmail account
When all folders are empty, including the Inbox, can I be sure that every message has been moved to the new account, even though every message is still in the All Mail folder?
--> Dont look in "all mail". Open your inbox and look at each individual inbox.
Good luck,. But first, try to fix your account.

How to sync sent mail from iPhone to MacBook Air mail?

I have sent mail from my iPhone and I want this sent mail to show on my laptop (MacBook Air). Is there a setting that will allow for this? I use Apple's Mail on my laptop.

Hi,
To do this, you must be using an IMAP email account type.
If you are using a POP mail account it is not possible.

How to important "sent mail" from another account into Mail?

I wasn't sure where to put this question because of the way this forum is organized.
Anyway, here is my problem:
I woke up thinking I may have forgotten to send an important e-mail yesterday. I thought, "No problem, I won't have to drive all the way to work. I'll just set up Mail on my iMac to use the e-mail account I use at work." It's an SBCGlobal account, so I found most of the information I needed about the mail servers and POP and IMAP and all that stuff that could be termed in a lot more user-friendly language so I don't have a conniption fit trying to figure out what it is I'm doing.
I finally managed to get it set up to where all of the messages from the inboxes were imported into my Mail app. One big problem: I need to look at the *sent* mail, and if I didn't send the e-mail I thought I needed to, I need to access attachments that I sent to others.
So how do I important the sent folder from my work e-mail account into Mail?

I wouldn't doubt it. I work at a small church so we don't have much funding, but we're switching to Gmail. I found an older, unedited print copy of what I was supposed to send and made alterations to that and e-mailed it to the people who needed it. The other thing I was supposed to e-mail isn't essential, I suppose, as it's Sunday's bulletin and everyone will be picking one up tomorrow when they come to church anyway. It's just that I'm fairly new at the position, I love everyone at the church and with whom I work, and I want to do everything right 100% of the time to please them because I'm very Type A. I've been really getting a hang of my job, but it seems there's always one thing that I screw up. I guess I'll get better with experience. And hopefully switching to Gmail, if I do this again, I can just access everything from home.
