Imap gmail stopped working

my imap gmail stopped working on both my wifes ipad and my iphone sometime this evening 10 july 2013. says cannot connect to imap server and recommends checking settings.  i noticed a similar problem occurred once in 2012.  Is Apple working on this?

IMAP stopped working on mine as well as two of my employees Macs. Two Google Apps Business accounts and one regular Gmail account. Gmail was down this morning so it might have something to with it. However, accessing mail through the web interface works fine. So something to do with IMAP.

  • Gmail stopped working...Now what?

    I am not trying to get a quick answer without reading the forum. I am just trying to figure out what to do without going through trial and error multiple times. I got my iphone a little less than a week ago. I had gmail all set up and now it just stopped working. What is the best way to get it working again?
    I already tried going through the set up process the exact same way I did on the initial set up. Going to "other" and proceeding from there. After reading some of the recent posts, do I now go to "Gmail" and follow the set up from there? At a loss as to what to do.
    I'm windows XP if that matters.
    Much thanks.

    Nah, I use the phrase "sanity check" all the time when talking my customers through things. I meant it as a quick/easy think to check before going off into other troubleshooting directions.
    Here's are two links regaring setup of Gmail accounts on your iPhone (from Google):
    POP -- http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=72454&topic=12810
    IMAP -- http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77702&topic=12814
    I do not know if those will be of any benefit to you as you seem to have already been able to go through the setup process several times. But maybe they'll point out something else.
    I can empathize with you, because just yesterday when I updated to 1.1.3 the first thing I noticed was my Gmail stopped working. (And Allan did try to help me out there too!)

  • Gmail stopped working out of the blue. Years with no issues. Hoursthrough all support forums, including Google's, to no avail. No phone,email,chat for either.

    iMac 10.8.5
    Thunderbird 24.6.0
    Everything been working fine for years, then one day last week.....Gmail iMap died. Deleted account and added it agagin. Tried different setting under manual set-up to no avail. Changed password, did captcha unlock, got many 2-step verification texts, .....I've done it all. No email, phone or chat support for either side. fed up. I give 20k+ to Google over the years for advertising business and still with no escalation to help with upper tech management etc., and no support on Thunderbird side. Had better luck using Windows Outlook!!!!!!! Ugh. HELP!!!!!!!

    ''Gmail stopped working out of the blue.''
    It would certainly help if you could be a little more specific about your problem.

  • Gmail stopped working

    My gmail stopped working on my phone Thursday or Friday, and I didn't realize it until afer work. When I press the "Sync all" button under settings-wireless-accounts and sync and try to sync them. it doesn't work. I've restarted it a hundred times and have tried several things. Help!!

    Hey,
    Sorry to hear your Gmail stopped syncing with your device.  I had this to happen with my Calendar, but fixed it.  Here is what Google recommends:
    Press your device's < Home > button, then press < Menu >.
    Select Settings.
    Select Applications, then Manage applications.
    Select Gmail and then select Clear data. Answer OK when prompted.
    Return to the list of applications by pressing the < Back > button on your device.
    Select Gmail Storage.
    Note: If you don't see 'Gmail Storage,' press < Menu > again, then select Filter > All. On some devices, you won't see 'Gmail Storage.' It is fine to ignore this step if it doesn't apply.
    Select Clear data. Answer OK when prompted.
    Restart your device. Press and hold the < Power > or < End call > button, then select Power off. Press the < Power > or < End call > button to power on.
    Hope this helps you out.

    Hi,
    Just wanted to say I found out the answer. I should have looked first to see if anyone else was having the same problem but I didn't. 

  • The gmail stopped working in the ipad; when i touch the screen nothing happens, other apps are working

    THe gmail stopped working; when i touch the screen nothing happens, cannot use any funtion with gmail, but other apps work normally

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset
    If it is the gmail app you are using, you might also try deleting and reinstalling it. If you are using the built in iOS mail app, you can try deleting and re-adding the gmail account.

  • Mail with gmail stopped working

    About a week ago my computer stopped downloading my mail from gmail. I can send mail, but it won't receive new mail. I tried deleting the gmail account and adding it again, but that didn't work. I also tried switching it to IMAP instead of POP, but that didn't work either. When I control+click the gmail account and select get info, it says there are no new messages on the server, but I know there are about 90.
    I've tried repairing permissions and that didn't work.
    I have another account for my school mail and it still receives and sends emails perfectly. Only the gmail account is giving me trouble.
    Any ideas?

    Did you upgrade to 10.5.5 just before it stopped working? In my case, I couldn't SEND mail after upgrading. I had to change the smtp port from default to 465, and then it worked again. My son, who also has a macbook, upgraded to 10.5.5, and is on the same network as I am, had no problem. Strange, right?
    Can you try changing the incoming port?

  • AOL and Gmail stopped working in Mail version 4.5 but Exchange still works?

    I did not change anything or do an update but one day my AOL and Gmail accounts just stopped working but my exchange account still works perfectly.  I checked my setting and passwords and everything is set up correctly via IMAP.  HELP please!!!
    Error I get is Unable to Connect - There may be a problem with the mail server or network.  Verify the settings for account and try again.  The server returned the error: The connection to the server "imap.aol.com" on port 993 times out. (same error for gmail)
    Thanks!

    Do you have the check mark in the SSL box in the Mail Preferences under Accounts tab (look in the middle of the page for advanced).

  • HT1430 Gmail stopped working on iPhone5

    My gmail was working fine on my iphone 5 but then it just stopped. I receive a message "Cannot get Mail  The mail server "imap.gmail.com" is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in the Mail setting."
    I have verified and have also re-entered my password... I have turned phone on and off to "reset" i have re-entered my wifi code to try and access that way... nothing is working...
    any thoughts before I take into the store?
    Thanks!

    Gmail has reconfigured its mail service and servers.  Delete the account and set it up again using the Gmail template.  Better, get the gmail app from the App Store, which has more features

  • Gmail stopped working on my iphone but no account settings have changed

    My gmail account has been set up in the "mail" client on my phone for over a year, and then suddenly stopped working two days ago. I get an error that says "The mail server 'imap.gmail.com' is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings" but I  haven't changed my password or settings...I have gone back in and re-entered the password (which it accepts when I enter it) and turned on other SMPT servers, and restarted my phone - nothing is working. Any ideas?

    Yes, this is a known problem.  Google is working on a fix.
    Here's an article documenting it: http://www.macrumors.com/2012/08/10/some-experiencing-issues-with-gmail-on-ios-d evices-google-working-on-fix/

  • Gmail stopped working with dual authentication

    Hello, since I upgraded security with my Google account to use 2 part authentication my gmail has stopped working.  Google drive has authenticated but not the mail account which keeps saying the password is wrong.
    Any ideas people?

    Colrich
    The way you have stated your issue, it sounds as if GMail is having an issue? Or are you saying by implication that iOS 8.1.1 Mail is somehow the culprit?
    Take a screenshot of the error to give us context if you need to let a picture speak a 1000 words

  • Gmail IMAP account stopped working with Apple Mail

    I have Leopard with 10.5.5, just updated it a few days ago.
    I have used my gmail account for a few years with Apple mail with no real problems, but now today, I got errors about an invalid certificate, and a little exclimation point by my gmail inbox. I have an iPhone and another Mac that I was syncing all this to so I don't know something with one of those screwed it up, so I have removed all gmail accounts from everything and I'm just trying to set it back up on my main laptop, but i get an error when setting up the new IMAP account. Now it says logging into the IMAP server has failed and to check my username and password... I am following the instructions from the gmail site really close, and I've even reset my gmail password.
    anybody know why it still isn't working?

    Hmm, turns out my iMac Apple Mail has been resetting the Mailbox activity settings for some random reason which would explain the drafts problem. Wonder why?

  • Gmail Stopped working on my E72!!

    Hi.
    I have had my E72 for 8-9 days now. The first day I configured Mail for Exchange and Gmail on it. Worked like a charm.
    But for 1 or 2 days ago, it stopped delivering my gmail.
    When I log in to email.nokia.com it says that it is a problem connecting to my Gmail account.
    I have not changed my password. And my IMAP setting are correct, and have not changed.
    Have also tried to delete det Gmail-inbox on my phone, and created it again. Still dont get any mail from my Gmailaccount.
    Any ideas? Please help me.
    Regards
    sTerUn 

    I too have the same problem. The updates from gmail just stoped no change in settings at all. A couple of days ago. I can send mail but i do not recive any.

  • IMAP Gmail not working properly after update ?

    I have setup my Gmail account using IMAP on my Mac.
    I also have Gmail setup on my iphone, again as IMAP.
    When I read the emails on my iphone, it is synced with my gmail account, as I see it change on the web.
    However, my Apple Mail still shows it as unread, and does until I read it.
    This has only happened since I updated to 10.5.6
    Has anyone else any similar issues ?

    Bummer. Forget what I said. (Well, you can try it...)
    Working from home today. Mac Mail, Gmail, and Mail on iPod touch. Only Mail on my Mac doesn't get the word on "read" messages.
    I stand corrected and please forgive me.
    Rebuild did this for me, as suggested. Of course, something is broken and one should not have to Rebuild. (It strikes me that it is better/easier just to reread the darn things if, as in my case, we're talking about just a few messages.)

  • Gmail stops working until i delete the offline cache folder. why?

    Using the Apple Mail Client, my G-Mail account stops updating every couple weeks.  I found through forums that if I delete the offline cache folder (it's hidden, library-mail-account) everything goes back to normal.  Why is this happening and why hasn't it been fixed?  I'd appreciate any insight!

    Hi Eric,
    Since it doesn't happen to gMail on several Macs & OSX versions from 10.4.5 to 10.7.4 & beyond, I suspect Disc corruption, or possibly RAM, have you checked either?
