IMAP support is ON in GMAIL even if you cannot see it in preferences!
I was pleasantly surprised to find that IMAP support is fully enabled in my gmail account, even though I cannot see it in the settings page! Try it....your mileage may vary!
QUESTION: Having now synchronised my entire Gmail account on one computer I want to copy all of the synchronised/downloaded mail *AND* the mail/account settings from one computer to another.....so as to avoid having to repeat the 1.5GB download on the other machine.
How to do that? Is it "just" a matter of copying ~/Library/Mail and replacing the folder on the other machine? Anything else that I need to know/copy?
...in case you have not discovered it yet...getting to see the preference in Settings just needs you to set English US as your language.....not that there is any need because there is just one meaningful setting (Enable/Disable IMAP)...and it is ENABLEd by default!

I've recently upgrade my E61 to 3.0633.09.04.
First of all, for the first time I can connect to a IMAP server without the messaging application closing itself when updating the mailbox. That said, IMAP support is still *way* too buggy to be usable. Anyhow, they're on the right track, maybe 2 or 3 more updates and I can dump POP3.
Bugs so far:
Application freezes after updating imap folder and does not come back.
After trying to update, nothing changes and now you cannot open messages, open the options menu, go back etc. The application refuses to close. You can change the selected message though, so it's not exactly freezed. Maybe it's a variation of the bug above.
When trying to retrieve the messages, they seem to be retrieved (the icon changes), but their date is changed from the date the imap server gives to the current date. You cannot open the message afterwards (it will just re-retrieve it)
(Feature?) It's always closing the connection; every time you want to do anything you have to reconnect. This may be inconvenient when using wifi, but can also be more expensive when using GPRS, 3g, etc
I am not sure about this, but I think there's still no support for imap read/replied/forwarded flags..
BTW: VoIP now has NAT traversal? That's a surprise, since it still doesn't work with services that work perfectly with, for instance, x-lite, behind the same NAT. Anyway, gizmo voip works, and that's what I use. The new Internet Telephony application is also a big step forward.
cheersVery interesting. I just did some testing use gmail and it works. So, something is odd. This makes me believe something is reported different and Mail 3.0 is not handling correctly. Say like treating system flags as case sensitive, which it should not. Sure enough,
gmail sends:
* OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Draft \Seen \*)]
My imap server sends:
* OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\answered \flagged \deleted \draft \seen \*)]
I changed my server to return:
* OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Draft \Seen \*)]
It all works now. Bad Mail.app developers please read rfc3501

Snow Leopard have better Gmail IMAP support?
I haven't bought 10.6 yet, but I wanted to know if Mail now has better IMAP support for Gmail, like an automatic setup or something. In 10.5 it can be a little quirky to set up and get all the folders correct.
I haven't noticed any difference. Then again, I didn't re-set-up my IMAP when I upgraded, I just kept using IMAP.
Mail in general is quite a bit faster in Snow Leopard.
Note, the reason Mail.app is weird with Gmail's IMAP is that Gmails' IMAP is weird It is highly nonstandard. -
Hi all,
I am using Mail as a client to my Gmail account.
I am registered with such account to receive notification about new posts from Apple Support Communities on which I took part.
However when I receive a new mail notifications, I get a huge list of post, it basically seems the whole conversation.
Even if the grouping done by Mail App shows 1 message only, I can see lot of posts attached to the mail.
Apparently by deleting the group or the very latest mail, it deletes the whole conversation, but everytime a new mail arrives, the conversation shows again.
By doing a search for sender and subject on notification arrival, only one mail shows from the results.
When deleting the mail, the whole conversation gone from Mail App, did the search again with same criteria, and got 0 result.
Why this behavior ? Am I missing something ?*I figured it out!*
Simple fix, here is what you do - open Mail v4.2 > Preferences
Select your Gmail account with this weird problem (I say select, cause in my situation I have multiple Gmail account setup but was having trouble with 1).
Then goto > Advanced tab
and then just type "/" (forward slash) - and then wait for a minute, it should fix it and allow to receive all the ghosts messages again - which apparently were visible under my online (web based) gmail.com's account also on my iPhone. You might see double messages, don't freak out like I did - Quit Mail v4.2 and restart that should go away as well, like in my case. Strange? Definitely
Anyways, hope this helps! -
Yahoo IMAP support ... sneaky!
I found several references to IMAP support by Yahoo about a year ago (imap.next.mail.yahoo.com, imap.mail.yahoo.com) that worked for a while and then stopped, presumably because of the resources required to support that protocol on top of pop. Then, with their offer of IMAP access to even free Yahoo acounts because of Apple, I read somewhere the new server was imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com. Problem is, it only works IF you use the Yahoo configuration option in Mail settings. If you use a regular IMAP configuration option, it does not work. (Why would I want to use Other? Because I dont want the @yahoo.com as the reply-to address).
So, it seems that behind the scenes, the iPhone is configuring to the correct (and unknown to us) Yahoo IMAP server OR it is embedding some sort of prefix/suffix to our IDs that authorize it to log on to the Yahoo IMAP server ONLY if you use the iPhone configuration tool. I am speculating. Any thoughts?I found several references to IMAP support by Yahoo

Someone who has an iPhone should connect it to a WiFi network on which is a computer running an Ethernet Packet sniffer, and then capture a connection from the iPhone to Yahoo mail.
For ordinary POP3 and SMTP access Yahoo use SSL versions, the IMAP SSL port is normally 993 but they could be using a non-standard port. They could also be doing something strange to the authentication, e.g. using MD5 instead of just password or something else like adding additional text to the password e.g. it sends apple.password instead of password, again a packet sniffer like Ethereal might reveal this.
Unfortunately the iPhone is not yet available in the UK so I cannot do this testing myself.
Google should wake up and add push IMAP support themselves, fancy letting Yahoo grab all the glory. -
I've posted about this here repeatedly and never gotten confirmation that anyone else is seeing the problem, but it's getting worse, so if nothing else, perhaps that can save someone else all the time I have wasted on this issue. Yahoo's IMAP support is ridiculously flaky, and should probably be avoided until it stabilizes. I have an "swbell.net" email address, which after a chain of acquisitions is now managed by Yahoo. When I enter my email address it sets up IMAP email by default. I can't check the server name right now because I am once again locked out of the account, and at this point am wondering if it will ever come back.
Once the email is set up and synchronized, one of 3 things happens on a regular basis:
New email simply stops coming in, with no indication as to why
I start getting repeated login attempt failures because it says my credentials were rejected
The entire contents of my inbox simply disappears. Sometimes a resync will go get all the email again, and sometimes it won't, but it causes email to get "orphaned", leading to steady growth in the disk usage for email and eventually to the app install failure if not cleaned up
When I give up and delete the account to try to re-add it again (after manually cleaning up the crap left behind because of #3 above), I typically get a login failure with the following information: "Invalid security token: N NNNN N" (where those 'N's are numbers). Once it took until the next morning before I could get back in. This time, it IS the next morning and I STILL can't get back in. Like I said, it may simply never come back this time.
I've been round and round on the phone with both AT&T (my actual ISP, but Yahoo manages the email aspects of the account) and Palm, and while Palm was definitely more knowledgeable and attempted to be more helpful, in the end no one really knew what was wrong. AT&T refused to even believe that they provide IMAP support, and the IMAP server has "palm" in its name, so its clear this server was brought online specifically to handle IMAP support for the Pre, but I don't know if its available to free Yahoo email accounts, or only ot paid ISP accounts through AT&T and others.
The first 2 above seem like they almost have to be a Yahoo server problem, but the fact that stuff is getting orphaned in #3 above sounds like a bug in the Pre's email app -- it's not clear whether the emptying of the inbox is some bad response from the server or a misinterpretation of an error by the email app. The failures when I try to re-establish the account are curious, becausethey seem to imply a handshake problem -- the IMAP server is up and responding, but doesn't like what the Pre's email client sent. But the fact that it comes and goes would really seem to point towards a server issue, because I seriously doubt that the email client randomly varies what it sends to the server.
I think at this point I've probably got no choice but to give up and go to POP. Email needs to just work, and not be something I am constantly fighting with and wasting time on -- that completely defeats the convenience of having email on my phone to begin with. I really like the benefit of alternate folder support with IMAP, but Yahoo has a pretty good mobile webmail interface, so I guess I can always check other folders that way.
Any insight here from Palm support or other users fighting this same problem is more than welcome. But if nothing else, hopefully this will save someone else from wasting hours of their life on this nonsense.

Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)OK, so the plot thickens. I decided to give up and set up POP, and when I did that, my login got rejected even then the first couple of times! Now that I think about it, I've had times when I've been unable to log in to webmail from the browser because my credentials were rejected, even though I know they are correct, because I use them all the time on various PCs. The 3rd time it eventually accepted the login for POP, with the warning that it couldnt validate SMTP settings and that as a result I might not be able to send email from the Pre. And sure enough, after testing it turns out that I cannot in fact send mail -- my creds get rejected by the SMTP server. Out of frustration I removed the account yet again and tried setting it up with IMAP again (in other words sticking with the defaults for my email address), and that time it worked.
I'm really beginning to wonder now if there's not some issue with SSL communications on the Pre. I can't think of any other reason why both POP and IMAP would fail intermittently, using completely separate servers, as well as even logging in via the web interface on the Pre's browser.
Getting email on my phone was one of the biggest draws for me of going to a true smart phone, and man, has this been a huge letdown. I don't know where the problem lies, but some link in this chain of technology is simply not ready for prime time.

i currently have a macbook 2.1xersion 10.6.8 and want to update. what can it support? Everything i try, it won't support! I can't even download IPhoto! I can't open anything in my ICloud account either! its not on my current browser nor am i able when logging onto my ICloud account. Can anyone give me some advice besides buying a newer laptop?
Lion 10.7.5 is as far as you can go. You must have at least 2 GBs of installed RAM.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. Or you can order directly on the online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply. -
Keep getting asked to allow google talk on gmail even though i click allow & remember
When I enter gmail (even if i use the new inbox version as well) it will show the bar at top asking to allow google talk plugin to run. I click allow, then another bar asks allow this time or allow always & remember. I click always and remember so it doesn't ask again yet everytime i visit after closing browser it will ask again.
Also does the same for sites that want to run silverlight plugin, even if i set to remember it will ask again next time..Now i find in my plugins section on firefox it shows 'ask always' on every plugin.
No idea why it doesn't save my selection when i choose via the site but i set them manually on this page & hope it stays that way. -
For the last week or so every time I go to gmail (even when I've left the tab open) I am required to sign in. This is an unnecessary step that I really don't want to do. I don't like the gmail app. And I feel like this sign in issue is forcing me to use the app. Why is this happening? Is there a way around this?
Thank you for any input.Can you post back here a screenshot from this issue?

No phrase or multi-term search feature? I am using iBooks 4.1 on an iPad Air I thought an eBook reader would support complex key word searching (even Adobe reader supports phrase searches in PDF files) is iBooks really just limited to searching for one key word at a time? Am I missing something basic in the search interface?
Greetings NoNameGiven,
If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

I'm trying to download my work email to my iPhone 5s. IMAP is enabled in my Gmail account; however, my phone keeps saying my IMAP username or password is incorrect. They're not incorrect. What do I do?
There is probably 2-step authentication set.

Don't bother trying to get Airplay to work even if you have all the latest updates etc..if your computer is a MacBook Pro 2008 or earlier..The Apple staff have decided they are too old and not worth supporting...
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.
Patrick is either mistaken or describing basic airplay and not mirroring. -
Using Gmail in iPhoto and cannot find any of my groups to email. I have at least seven or eight groups that I email, each containing over 50 addresses. Is there a way to locate my email groups using iPhoto to send out mail in Gmail? Using version 9.5.1 (902.17) OS is Mavericks 10.9.1.
Your question and description is not very clear to me, so hopefully something here will help:
1. Gmail is a service not an app or a place. So you need to access the service with an app - that can be iPhoto, Mail, Outlook or any other mail client, or even a Web Browser like Safari or Firefox.
So you can't "go to GMail" as you write, but instead you go to an application set up to use the GMail service.
2. iPhoto is not a mail client. It's a handy way to email pics to Grandma, but for what you're doing you need to use an app that supports all of the Gmail service. iPhoto doesn't. There is no way around that.
3. How to send to groups will vary depending on what app you use to access the GMail service. All of these apps can receive photos from iPhoto, either - as in the case of Mail and Outlook, via the Share function - or, in the case of all the rest - via a Media Browser.
For help sending to Groups using any of these other apps you need to ask omn their respective forums. But the workflow is quite simple:
Using Mail or Outlook set in the iPhoto Prefereneces:
1. Select the pic(s) you want to share.
2. Choose email from the Share function
3. Make your selections re size etc
4. The email opens up in Mail or Outlook
- from there you need to figure out how to use the email client.
Using any other app:
1. In the mail app create a new email
2. Click on the Attach button or link
3. Use the Media browser to select the pic(s) you want to send
4. Attach them
- from there you need to figure out how to use the email client.
