I want to use GMAIL instead of ICLOUD mail.

I keep getting annoying windows that open up everytime something comes through gmail.
Are these notifications letting me know that this stuff is being downloaded to my computer?
Everytime I click on something to create or send an email it asks whether I want to use icloud or gmail...what a hassle...
Anyone have a workflow so I can just have GMAIL my mail email use for sending stuff from my computer but only use gmail to check email when I log in to GMAIL through safari...

Yes I have done that.
I just want to GMAIL to integrate into my computer, but when I have GMAIL account enabled i start seeing all this notification of 10s of thousands of GMAILs and can't figure out if this being mirrorred so I can see it or if ALL that is being downloaded to my computer; the constant bombardment of notifications was driving me mad.
So, a few months ago I disabled GMAIL cuz I couldn't figure out that simple thing and ENABLED the mail for icloud.....
So now since MAIL is more readily integrated on our MACs but any email reply opens in MAIL...I have to fill in the reply to email which is my GMAIL account and so on....otherwise everything goes to yet another email account at icloud...geeeeez louieeeeezeeee
Any ideas?

HT5262 how do i merge my icloud info/ backup to itunes info/backup? i want to use itunes instead of icloud

how do i merge icloud ifo/backup to itunes info/backup. i want to use itunes rather than icloud or how do i transferitunes music (from computer) to my phone which is backed up from icloud

Its not entirely clear what it is you want to do. You can't actually "merge" backups; each back up is a snapshot based function and a discrete file. Some of these articles may help, you could could pst back with a little more detail about what you want to accomplish.:

I want to use gmail rather than yahoo mail to send a like to someone.

When I bring up applications under options it does not show a mail app as described in a lot of answers on the internet.
I only have an expired yahoo mail account so I cannot sent a link to someone.

Using gmail - multiple copies of mail being written are forwarded to the trash -did not have this issue with 10.6.8 -

I have two Imacs - the master one is plugged in directly into the modem, it runs with 10.6.8 and works fine (this computer is not connected to Icloud)- the other is connected to a router which is connected to the master unit and the modem. that unit was upgraded to 10.9.4 and it is connected to Icloud - both Imacs use gmail accounts for e-mail.
The "slave" unit running on 10.9.4 creates multiple copies of mail being written and sends those copies to the trash file. We have had up to fifty copies of one e-mail in the trash. That computer worked fine under OSX10.6.8 - We have visited the apple store genius bar with this Imac, and consulted the apple phone support service to no avail.
while it does take a long time to transmit the e-mails, addressees get only one copy. Your help will be appreciated.

9/16/14 update - another call to apple phone support revealed that this is a known issue that has no solution at this time.

I want to use gmail calendar as a default instead of iCal when I create new appointments

So, I love the fact that my macbook calendar also shows my gmail calendar items. But I like many of the features that gmail offers over ical. I setup my iphone so that new calendar entries that I create a defaulted as gmail instead of ical. But I can't seem to find out how to do this on my macbook.
I went into the settings (calendar, mail) - tried to disable the icloud calendar, but it tells me that if I do this all my ical events will be deleted. I don't want to go back and fix each and every prior entry before doing this.
Any suggestions on how I can best accomplish this?
Even if you feel I'm best not using gmail over iCal, let me know that too. I'm new to macs - having been a PC developer for over 20 years.
Help?
Thanks!!

I might not have made sense trying to ask this question.
Here's an example: When I create a calendar event on my mac - I can choose, via an event dropdown item, which calendar to apply the event. By default, its set to the iCloud calendar. I am now finding myself clicking this listbox and changing it to my gmail calendar for every appt I create. I was hoping there would be a way for me to have this default to my gmail calendar instead of the icloud.
Does that make better sense??
Thx

HT4436 I want to turn on Notes on my iphone, but it keeps saying that I have to create a new icloud account to do so. Why? I already have an apple account that's @gmail instead of @icloud.

Yeah. So. Basically what the giant-*** title that I didn't think was just a title said: Why should I have to create a new @icloud account? And how do I make my idiot phone not ask me to do so?

It's not asking you to create a new iCloud account or AppleID - it is asking you to create an iCloud email address within your existing iCloud account.
You need to create an iCloud email address because that is where the Notes you want to use are stored and how they are 'synced' between devices and iCloud.

Can I use gmail instead of yahoo in combination with Adobe Reader

Adobe Reader has the ability to attach a pdf to an email. It is defaulting to Yahoo mail. I have changed the default email in firefox to gmail, but that does not seem to impact anything. I have also tried to change the email client within Adobe Reader, but couldn't do it.
Is there a way to use gmail as the email client?

I realize it, but is sending me now to yahoo.com. Why can I not sent it to gmail instead of yahoo.
Also, if I were to use outlook how would I set that up? I cannot find a place anywhere to make changes to the email client Adobe Reader is using.

How to use own domainname with iCloud mail

I want to use my own domainname email address with iCloud mail and not the iCloud address.
This is important for my business. Can't use a @icloud.com for business.
Thanks

How do they want to come into the business level within.
They don't. iCloud, like MobileMe before it, is specifically targeted at personal users. If you want business email you would be much better off with a proper business service with a guaranteed uptime and properly accessible support.

Does anybody have any idea of how to back up your Gmail accout to iCloud mail

I want to know how to backup your mail in Gmail to your icloud accout but no rush i just want to get a better mail experience.

Profiles are stored on your system drive, in the folder called "Documents and Settings". Open it up and look for the subfolder with your account name. That's what you want to back up.

Can Gmail pick up iCloud mail?

When I was using MobileMe, I had my Gmail account set up to pick up MobileMe mail. That was convenient because I could get all my mail at one location. Since migrating to iCloud, Gmail gets 'authentication errors' when trying to get mail from my iCloud email account, even though the email address and password are the same as that of my MobileMe account. I read that Pop accounts could not pick up iCloud mail, but I don't have Gmail set up as a pop client. Is it possible for me to get my iCloud mail in Gmail? If so, how do I set that up?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

I don't know about GMail's ability to pick up from other accounts, but iCloud and MobileMe are not the same. The server settings are shown in this page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
and are different from MobileMe; and note that SSL is required, which wasn't the case with MobileMe.

I want to use Thunderbird without saving e-mails to PC. How is this possible?

I want to use Thunderbird without saving any e-mail to local folder in my PC.
Can you please help me on this?
thanks.

There are two types - POP and IMAP
You would need to logon to your webmail account using a browser and select the option to use IMAP forwarding - assuming that option is available.
Pop mail accounts can only access the server Inbox.
Emails are downloaded to your computer and stored in your Thunderbird Profile folder. So this type may not suit your requirements.
IMAP mail accounts offer a remote view of folders and emails stored on the server.
You subscribe to see those folders. Then Headers are downloaded and when you select to view an email, the email is downloaded to a temp cache.
Subscribed folders that are synchronised, download a copy of the folder and store it in your Thunderbird Profile. But these folders are constantly updated to reflect what is stored on the server.
So your best option would be to create IMAP mail account, subscribe to see folders on the server, but do not select to synchronise those subscribed folders.
Emails stored in your Thunderbird Profile on your computer load faster than those that have to be retrieved from the server each time.
Info on synchronising, so you can see how to enable/disable.

I notice that it's possible to have sticky posts in these forums. See

the Concurrency forum for an example. Posting a link to the FAQ in a sticky post might reduce the number of FAQs asked here by maybe 1%? Or posts like this one might do well as a sticky?

Can I use Thunderbird instead of Apple Mail application

Hi,
I like Apple's Mail application but it is slow in communicating with AOL. Thunderbird does pretty well and
will both read and send emails via AOL.
But when I use iPhoto or another application and want to share
a picture via email it opens the Apple Mail application by default. Then I must wait for it to talk to AOL, forever.
Can't I somehow make Thunderbird the default outgoing mail app?
Ed

I think the problem is that iPhoto won't let me select Thunderbird as the email application for sending photos. Apparently it only will use Eudora, the AOL reader, Mail, and i think one other program but not Thunderbird.

I want to use Dreamweaver instead of Godaddy. Are there any templates already made for Dreamwaver that I can modified? How do I start?

Where or how do I start building anything on Dreamweaver?
I want to dump my Godaddy account, but I don't know where to start with Dreamweaver....
And I don't know how much space do I have to build pages?
Can hosting from Adobe load different websites on my Creative Cloud account?
Trying to contact Adobe over the phone to ask question is a problem... waiting for 45 minutes just to review my account and didn't get anybody...

What can I tell you Ken?
So far the issue is kind of solved... waiting for email instructions on how to transfer my Muse files to be able to host them with Catalyst.
But.... what a disappointment with Adobe right off the bat....
My CC subscription includes hosting to up to 5 websites.....
I called Adobe customer service, and they couldn't tell me what did my subscription included, instead, they sent me to Catalyst to purchase a product I already had....
Then I called Catalyst and they tell me to call back Adobe because my package already include a small subscription to Catalyst.... You think this guy Catalyst will get fired for not trying to sell me something I already had??!!
Seems like customer service from Adobe, and some of the people at the forums are obsessed on trying to sell you something before looking at the real issue.
My previous experience on Adobe forums was on Acrobat from which I asked how to position a table in the file, some dude answer that I needed to buy some other program when all I needed was to press Shift + Arrow........
People must be careful with Adobe.... they have good programs, but they will milk every dollar you have before paying attention to technical solutions their customers can use with their apps.

I want to use Gmail with ACT! by Sage. Can I configure Firefox 3.6 to use POP3 and SMTP features of Gmail so I can send emails directly from ACT!? Thank you.

# 1: I am quite unsophisticated with digital technology--some would call me ignorant in this regard, just so you know.
I use contact manager ACT! by Sage. I have upgraded to a version that allows emailing from within the ACT! application. I would like to use my gmail account and Firefox to send emails from ACT! The people at ACT! say I can use any email service that offiers POP3 and SMTP. I checked and gmail has both. However, gmail says that they do not have instructions for configuring Mozilla Firefox for use with (if I understand correctly) gmail's POP3 and SMTP. So what I want to know is: has anyone done the ACT1, gmail, Firefox connecting and can they send me step-by-step instructions on how to do it? Thank you.

Thanks. I've made progress. I have set up ACT! to to use my gmail account. But a problem arose. Do you know if ACT! is set up for SSL related to POP3? I completed the first two items on the test email and failed the last two.
Also, I went back to Tools Preferences E-mail tab and clicked E-mail system set up the window is blank (my gmail account is gone) and I cannot get to Page 3.
Any thoughts?
