IMAP-GMAIL still not working

Well, I really would like to use Apple-Mail and it (imap-gmail) just doesn't work. Whatever I do; I have deleted and created gmail-imap over and over again,as the gmailhelp tells me, but all my labels are NOT visible in Mail. They're just not there. Same for 'drafts', 'sent' etc. In my labels I have
like 200 organized emails all together and in my inbox/incoming mail about 7.
Those seven is all I see in Apple Mail. The GMAIL on the left sidebar is gray
and there are no maps. The mailactivity though, is active; I see when
creating imap-account again, the 200 mails coming in, but I don't know where!
They are not visible! Now what??

Hi Ephra,
GMail's IMAP is working for me; it's one of the reasons I finally switched over from Entourage. I have 12 email accounts, and I've got them all forwarding to one GMail account. That one GMail account is now the only account I have set up in Mail. I have it set so that all incoming emails come into my Mailbox Inbox. I also have 62 folders, subfolders, and sub-subfolders (aka 'labels' in Gmail) set up under the [GMail] folder. I set them up via Mail (not via Gmail.com) by clicking on that lower left corner + sign and selected "New Mailbox." Initially, I was told that GMail wouldn't take subfolders, but they work just fine. It does take some sections for them to appear, because it needs to map them to GMail's server, but eventually they show up.
Also: moving all the mail in my local folders to these new GMail folders/Labels took some time. Like you, I have 1,000s of emails in these 62 folders and it took awhile to upload them (I'm talking hours). And often GMail's server would "time out" and only 1/3 of the emails of a folder would copy up/over. But I just kept dragging and dropping and eventually all the emails are now in my GMail server account.
I'm probably not using the right language to describe all this, but it's now all working. And man, I don't know how GMail does it, but their spam filter is simply amazing. I also use SpamSieve, but it doesn't have much of a job any more.

  • ICloud IMAP email still not working.

    I can get to my email via https://www.icloud.com but accessing it with Mail.app still reports that:
    "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “iCloud” or try again.
    The server returned the error: The connection to the server “p99-imap.mail.me.com” on port 993 timed out."
    I am experiencing this on 2 different macs at the same time.
    Anyone else running into this issue even though Apple's System Status page ( http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/ ) reports that "All services are online." as of 10/13/2011 12:08 PDT.
    This is an alarming trend.... .Mac launch fails; Mobile Me launch fails; now iCloud...
    Let's get it right Cupertino.  Are you going to let the folks at Google and Microsoft mock a 3rd failure?

    Mine stopped working from 10am yesterday morning (UK time) and I reset the password a couple of hours later. This still didn't work. I just reset the password again and it's all started working again instantly on my phone. Still to try icloud.com, ipad and macbook as they are at home but its looking good!

  • Gmail does not work with Mountain Lion

    Since I installed Mountain Lion, Gmail does not work properly. I still receive emails, but everytime I try to send an email through my gmail account a window opens and says:
    "Cannot send message using the server smtp.gmail.com:[email protected]  Sending the message content to the server failed.  select a different outgoing mail servre from the list below or click Try later..."
    Any way, the only smtp mail that works is my Icloud email. Exchange server works too.  Yahoo does not work either.
    I appreciate any insight to this problem.
    Thanks

    You likely have corrupted settings for your  "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" for each of the failed Accounts.  Open Mail>go to Mail's Preferences>Accounts>select an Account in the left column to work on>then set up your Outgoing Mail Server which will INCLUDE resetting up your Password, as its asking you to.  Click on "SMTP Outgoing Mail Server" near the bottom of the Accounts window while your mail account is highlighted in the left hand column.  When you click on SMTP... you will see a drop down box icon offered at the right side of the line.  Click it and then select at the bottom of the the list "Edit SMTP Mail Server".  Fill in the required settings for your ISP mail account using their recommended settings.

  • HT201320 why my gmail is not working?

    why is my gmail is not working?

    same here, gmail IMAP now takes forever to sync with the mail client, and not just Mail, but the slow-sync also happens in Thunderbird. perhaps Google's having imap server issues... i've given up on the Mail client, too unreliable, i just use the browser instead.

  • Gmail suddenly not working on iPad

    I installed an update for the Pages app yesterday on my iPad, it rebooted after the install, and since then gmail does not work.  I get the "imap.gmail not responding cannot connect to server" message.  I haven't changed any settings.  What do I do?
    Thanks!

    Try removing your gmail account from your iPad in settings, email and accounts. Then adding it back on.

  • BT mail still not working

    My BT mail has been out of action for three days now, reading My BT account news section the problem has been resolved. My email is still not working, i have cleared cache and cookies as suggested and also reset login password but still not working. Can anyone help ????
    Solved!

    Hi T28CEY
    Because of the recent problems with BT Mail it seems as though BT have put some accounts back onto Yahoo. This would appear to be causing problems with the settings on phones and some computers.
    The correct settings are here
    http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/44917/kw/bt%20mail/c/346,6588,6591
    and you should use the password that you use to log onto webmail.
    If you have a look at the following thread, the poster deleted the accounts from his devices and reset them up. I am not sure as I have not seen what the device is logging onto but I suspect it is using the "old" settings for BTYahoo.
    If you do decide to do that be aware that if your account is a POP3 account you will need to back up your emails that you have saved on your devices as you may loose them.
    If it is an IMAP account you should not have any problems with loosing them as they should still be on the server, which you can confirm by logging on via webmail.
    Once the problems have been resolved and you are re-migrated back to BTMail you will probably need to change the settings on your device again so that you are using the BTMail settings and not the BTYahoo ones.

    I had to install Dell Wireless 1702 WiFi +
    Bluetooth Driver
    The wireless adapter was defined by this driver, however, the Bluetooth still has an exclamation mark in front of it, and when the Dell WLAN and Bluetooth client installation finished, a pop up message said that Windows couldn't install the device
    well, although there was a folder added in documents folder named 'Bluetooth Folder'
    Yes, the Bluetooth was named with 'Generic Bluetooth adapter' before installing 'Driver above'. However, after installing the driver above, the Bluetooth adapter named with ' Dell wireless 1702 Bluetooth v3.0". But as you see it's
    still not working will.
    The sceen shot shows the device manger before installing  Dell
    Wireless 1702 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver
    These screen shots shows the device manger after installing  Dell
    Wireless 1702 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver
    I've lit windows detect the operating program for this device on the internet, it said "Windows has detected that the operating  program of this device is up to date. As this screenshot shows.
    What should I do because nothing lift to try? If you have a look at the ninth drivers in my previous message, you will see that no other drivers for Bluetooth lift.
    Also, I have tried  to install Intel
    Centrino Wireless-N 1030 WiFi Driver 
    But I have been told that "the installation is blocked', This package of installation cannot be installed on your system' I don't know what this
    means, is it because Dell Wireless 1702 WiFi +
    Bluetooth Driver is being installed
    Could you please take some of your preciout time out to read carefully my points below to finish this problem?
    first:
    Yes, if you had a look at my first post, you would have seen that I really have downloaded and installed the drivers suitable for bluetooth, which was only Dell
    Wireless 1702 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver, which made the bluetooth recognized by Windows 7(64Bit). However, the bluetooth in the device manager still has an exclamation mark as it is shown in the device manager.
    I don't have any other drviers which can do more than the what Dell
    Wireless 1702 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver did because I have tried all the drivers listed under 'Network', exept the what are for Etherent.
    Yes, when I have tried adding the bluetooth between two laptops(Mohammad and Nasreen).  the bluetooth was added for both laptops as you see in these screenshots below:
    The Bluetooth devices of Nasreen's laptop whose bluetooth is having some problems in Device mangage.
    The Bluetooth devices of Mohammad's laptop  whosse Bluetooh is defined well in device manager.
    But there is still problem in the device managre as shown in the screenshot listed before.
    Second: (Important) That when I want to send files or recieving between two bluetooth added in either laptop, I could send them. Also, when I open the Mohammad's bluetooth added in Nansreen's laptop( screenshot
    below), I can show what is inside it.
     However, when I open the the Nasreen's bluetooth addd in Mohammad's laptop, I noticed  no reponse at all because as you see that disconnected is written in fornt "Nasreen-Pc" as this screenshot: 
    Although sometimes Nasreen-Pc gets connected as screenshot below, but I am still not able to open the Bluetooth folder of Nasreen-pc from Mohammad-pc. When trying to do that, no response is there.
    In other times, Nasreen-pc gets connected for a while, but it comes back disconnected.
    Third:: I noticed that the name of Laptop whose Bluetooth was added listed in 'My computer' for the laptop whose Bluetooth is having some problems in the device manager.(First Screen shot below)  However,
    the name of the laptop whose Bluetooth is having problems wasn't listed on other laptop's "my computer"(Second Screen shot below)
    Finally: : when I clicked "right-click" on "Nasreen-PC" and then clicking on "detecting and troublshooting issues", I found that windows informed me that :
    But which driver should I reinstall because I have already installed the Dell
    Wireless 1702 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver almost twice?
    A man should convert his anger and sadness into strength to continue living in this life.

    Certain driver packages contain drivers from some of the essential services only and for additional services, separate drivers must be installed. Additionally, the service is installed only if a compatible device is installed (or paired).
    Therefore, you are seeing the error.
    If you are using the Bluetooth L2CAP Interface and Bluetooth Remote Control services and not able to install the services, you can try unpairing the device, restart the PC, pair the device and then check. If that too fails, you need to install a suitable
    driver, sometimes even other OEM drivers solve the issue. You can Bing/Google about this. You can also contact Dell Support for more information.
    Balaji Kundalam
    Thanks a lot,
    I really didn't understand what you mean with in your first part the service is installed only if a compatible device is installed (or paired).
    The Bluetooth is integrated with
    the laptop, then  where other services will come from, all service are related to Bluetooth.
    If there are some additional services not related to Bluetooth,
    then how can I either let them functioning well or disable them in order to get rid of the yellow exclamation mark
    on the name of my laptop in the Device and printers.
    Also, I really have installed a
    BCBT7(Broadcom Bluetooth) for HP which really defined the same Bluetooth issue,
    Device manager after installing the entire setup of driver BCBT7(Broadcom Bluetooth) on HP laptop
    but  when trying to install the same
     BCBT7(Broadcom Bluetooth)  on Dell,  I faced the error below, although there is an icon for Bluetooth in
    the system tray. Also, the Bluetooth is integrated as
    you have seen in the device manager. 
    You didn't answer me: Third:: I noticed that the name of Laptop whose Bluetooth was added listed in 'My computer' for the laptop whose
    Bluetooth is having some problems in the device manager.(First Screen shot below)  However, the name of the laptop whose Bluetooth is having problems wasn't listed on other laptop's "my computer"(Second Screen shot below)

  • IOS6 WIFI bug, still not work now, exhausted,help...

    Been like this a week now, tried every possiable way still not any help at all, it can connect the wifi, internet works for 1or 2 minuts then will faile again, changed one router and tried all different settings as still not work, someone told me they don't have this problem they are using different router,maybe it's because IOS6 have sort of confict with some brand router? I am using TPlink, should I keep invest different router and try? Or should I wait for bug fixed?
    Apple didn't give any suggestion to customer and time schedule for bug fixed, this is really **** me off...
    I will try to visit apple store to check if they can change a new one with IOS5 for me.

    They will not change you back to iOS 5. I asked.
    I spent almost 1 week trying to resolve this. Reboot the ipad, reboot my router, delete the network, rejoin the network. Nothing seems to work. I called the Apple support, spent 2 days. After trying every single solution (that I've already done before calling.. duhhh)..
    They told me to:
    - Go to iTunes.Back up all your data, transfer all purchases to your computer. Of course when I tried to transfer all my purchases, they stuck for hours, then crash everything. I had to redo this 3 times. HOURS!!!
    - Restore your iPad from your iTunes. It will erase everything in your iPad, then start fresh as new
    - Turn off your iPad
    - Turn off your router, give it 10-15 minutes, turn on your router
    - Turn on your iPad, join the network
    Even though finally it looks ok. I am still going to return this iPad and get a replacement. I just don't feel confident with the device anymore. I just bought my iPad less than 3 months, still got the box. The support told me I could swap my iPad, all I need is to see the Apple Genius. So I made appointment, otherwise the Genius won't see you.
    I got tons of questions again from the Genius. He said it is my router problem. Basically, I have a crappy router that came from my internet provider. He said that since they opened the store, he only knew TWO people came in with WIFI issue. I told him, all my other devices connect just fine... but of course, they're "oranges" not Apple.
    I thought I'll be getting my replacement right away, but no.. Genius had to place an order first, and they will call me again, and I have to make another appointment to pick it up. I wonder why they don't have one in stock. It's the NEW iPad!!! I hope they're not getting my replacement from some kinda refurbished factory.
    This is my first purchase with Apple. So far it is not a pleasant experience.

    Try this article if you haven't already
    This is the only possibility that came to my mind when reading about your issue:
    "If an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is not recognized in iTunes on Windows, the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) may need to be restarted"

    Hello Kierasully,
    I would start your troubleshooting with the article below for issues of not being able to log in to your Mac. Start with booting up in to Safe Boot as well as resetting PRAM on your Mac. If that does not work, then verify the hard drive with booting to the Recover HD and go to Disk Utility to verify it.

I have looked through many support communities for answers.  I added an iPad 2 almost a year ago and all was fine until my upgrade to the "cloud services" and upgrade to new version.  I have been without iTunes on my PC for a month.  Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

    I too have only recently encountered this problem. I have been able to burn disks before but it keeps making all these weird sounds. It might be a hardware problem but the fact that everything else that uses a disk works I doubt it.
