IOS Mail App receives duplicates from gmail account

Everytime I receive an email using my gmail account, it comes in duplicate. Same time stamp. Both copies are in my inbox. It should have 1 copy in my inbox and 1 copy (the same copy) in my Google in box in my mail app. This happens on the macbook, on the iphone and on the ipad. So that if I delete the copy in my inbox you would expect the on in the Google inbox to delete as well, it does, but then there is still one more in my Inbox. Today I made a reservation with Supershuttle and used my gmail email addresss. I got to copies of the confirmation on each device. How do I eliminate the duplicate emails. I went through the google community and they say it is an Apple issue, not a google issue. So who to believe!

Remove the gmail account from one of the devices, and add it back. Does that issue go away on that device?

Mail app not connecting to gmail account

Hi
So I have 2 gmail accounts where our company domain uses gmail for its email service. Mail was working fine on both the accounts till last week.
I had configured both the gmail accounts very easily by just selecting Google on the Mail App on my Macbook Air 7 months back. I just added my email id and my password and the Mail App automatically configured both my accounts.
Last week one of the gmail accounts stopped updating on the Mail app on the Macbook. I was recieving mails on my iPad and iPhone so I knew there was something wrong. The second gmail account was working just fine. I tried various things but that account refused to work. So I deleted that account and tried adding that account back. I could not add that gmail account this time round and kept giving me an invalid username password error or some account not valid error. I go to the online version of Gmail and login with exactly the same information.
Then to probe more I delete the working gmail account and try to add it again. That account also does not seem to be adding now. Same error as the first account. So now I cannot access both my gmail accounts on the mail client.
I just realized that I updated to OSX Mavericks 10.9.2 on 28th Feb and am pretty sure that all this has happened immediately after that.
Anybody else with similar issues? Any ideas on what I should be doing?
Cheers

Mail timeout for emails from Gmail accounts

This past week we've been getting complaints from clients that mail sent to us gets returned with a message saying it is unable to be delivered and will be retried. Eventually these emails arrive, sometimes 2, even 24 hours after being sent - not exactly the best advertisement for responsive customer service!
The common factor seems to be that they are all from Gmail-hosted accounts. I see there have been other threads on this subject, such as <a href = "https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5029574?start=0&tstart=0">this post </a>, which may provide a clue. I'm running 10.5.8 Server 1.1, on a Quad G5, with spam and virus protection on, and tried turning it off to see if it helped. Inconclusive, but I got a lot of spam!
My hunch is that Gmail is expecting a server response within a certain short timeframe and ours times out. But you can't take on city hall, and it's up to our server to provide a timely response to Google, which should be totally possible on a fairly fast machine on 100Mbps fibre, even from here in NZ.
I'd appreciate any thoughts.

I don't know whether this will help any of you having the problem with Gmail, but we were able to resolve our issue by deleting a bunch of emails in the inbox, around the date that the email stopped coming in. It seems there was a corrupted file in the inbox, throwing things of for Mail (though not the iphone, as mentioned above).
How I got to the bottom of this was I set Entourage to receive emails from the att.net account. As happened in Mail, the emails stopped coming in around Feb 11, but we were able to send with no problem. Unlike Mail, however, Entourage provides an error code when it runs into a problem (in our case -16999, if I remember correctly). I searched on the code and found a discussion somewhere which named a corrupted file as the problem. It turned out to be our problem.
So even if it's not the same problem, perhaps you could try setting up Entourage (if you have it) or another email program that supplies error codes, and hopefully this will give you a clue to investigate further. Good luck!

Mail.app sycs with one Gmail account, won't with another

I've searched throughout the forum and couldn't find anything (although a ton of issues with Mail/Gmail exist).
Today is the first time I've had an issue with Gmail connecting to Mail.app, however, I have two Gmail accounts, yet my main one will not connect. Here's the error message:
"+Logging in to the Gmail IMAP server “imap.gmail.com” failed. Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct, then click Continue. If the information isn’t correct, you cannot receive messages+."
I check my login/password, and it's correct. I can login to Gmail using Firfox and Chrome. My secondary account can receive and send in Mail.app, but nothing in the primary.
Anyone have an idea?

I just downloaded Thunderbird and tried to setup my primary Gmail account, and TB has issues logging in, saying the password is invalid, yet it's the same password that I use when I login in a browser, whatever the browser may be. Here's the setup window with the error, and anything else that may be relevant (I have absolutely no knowledge of mail anything; POP, IMAP, all that jazz is pure Latin to me):

Sorry for the link, but I'm not familiar with the forum code here to embed an image (if it's at all possible).
My Mail app on my iPhone works just fine, sending and receiving, but any desktop client I use kicks back a login issue, so it looks to be on Google's end, but I can't be certain.

Exchange server not receiving emails from gmail

we can receiving email from yahoo, hotmail, aol or other mail server But, just gmail account we can not receive email. plz help us, how can i do.
Thanks

Hi Beigi,
According to your description, I understand that Exchange cannot received the message from Gmail, however others works well.
Great checklist from Hotaka.
Additional, I want to double confirm whether any other antivirus and protection software in your environment, also the
Anti-Spam
or
Transport rule settings, for example sensitive words, IP block list and attachment filter, so that the message from external trigger constraints and be rejected. Meanwhile, please double check in OWA.
Besides, please use message tracking log to get more details for this issue. It’s more helpful to narrow down the problem, for your reference:

Email Folders & iOS Mail App

As I have quite a few cntacts on my email account I have folders set to recieve e emails from specific coontacts. I noticed that folders don't appear and junk mail doesn't get sorted for my hotmail. But I was wondering do other supported email providers show custom folders users may have on their account? I attached a screenshot (pixelated a few things) to show my folders (that you see under my Inbox. I am wondering If any email providers supported by mail can show custom folders like mine (scouts, sent 2 myself, online news and so on are custom folders I have). DO any email accounts from suppor providers show custom folders like mine in the screenshot in the iOS mail app?

Is your Yahoo account a POP email account? If so there is no way to sync the folders to your iPhone. Only IMAP accounts sync folder. The best you could do is log in through Safari.

Why mail can't receive email from gmail today, but yesterday was fine and yahoo is fine.

why mail can't receive email from gmail today, but yesterday was fine and yahoo is fine.

It's a risk if you're using POP3 mail. You can archive mailboxes to another location for safe keeping.
Or, just try adding new versions of the accounts without deleting the old ones (you can have duplicates, name them different so that you can tell them apart). If the new ones work, then you can just drag the mail folders from the old to the new and then delete the old.

In iPad 1 ios 4 may have two ipad Apps the same from two accounts itunes

In iPad 1 ios 4 may have two ipad Apps the same from two accounts itunes one free other paid account, hence one free App and another paid App the same App?

If both accounts are authorised on your computer's iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer) then you can download the books from both accounts to there (download the books from one account, then sign out of it via Store > Sign Out, log in with the other account via Store > Sign In and download the books from the other account), and sync them over to the iPad's iBooks app via the Books tab.
Or you might be able to sign out of your account on the iPad by tapping on it Settings > Store and sign in with the other account and download the books from that account - I think that it should work, but it's not something that I've tried so I'm not 100% sure that it will

I have 2 hotmail accounts on my mail, when I send from one account I receive the reply in my other account, how can I stop this from happening?

I have 2 hotmail accounts in my Mac Mail, when I send from one account the reply comes back to the other hotmail account, how can I stop this?

You should be able to open both accounts.
I believe Hotmail T&C may expect you to have only one account, but possibly multiple alliases.
You may have problems opening two separate hotmail accounts at once in Firefox. Try using a new private browsing window for the second one. With any look that will separate them enough for you to use both at once.
(With other account holders permission.) I sometimes open my own and another persons hotmail account by that method.

Cannot open Inbox in the IOS Mail app

Hello,
Anyone else, besides me, unable to open the Inbox in the IOS Mail app this morning? I can view the emails in Yahoo mail on my PC, but I don't see any emails in the IOS Inbox on my Ipad Air 2. I deleted on my Yahoo Mail account on my Ipad, and then reactivated the account. However, my emails still don't display. To try to find a solution to the problem, I also activated my Gmail account in the IOS Mail app, but the emails for that account do not display as well. Accordingly, I wonder if there is a glitch in the IOS system today.

Any glitch in iOS mail would be in iCloud mail, not the mail app itself and that's what you seem to be experiencing. IIf you ever want to check to see if there are problems with any apple services, you can check here.
https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
Start with really basic troubleshooting steps. Close the mail app and reset the iPad. If that fails, reset all settings.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Reset all settings..... You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

Mail App randomly re-asks Gmail passwords (all devices)

Hello all
I have a MBPr 13" Late 2012 (OSX 10.9.2 all updates installed) an iPhone 4S and an iPad 2 (both with ios 7.1), I use two Gmail account on MPB and iPhone and only one on iPad. I added the second GMail account on MBP and iPhone about 3 weeks ago. At the same time I set same account on iPad as the only acccount since I use this only for work.
It's about a week that Mail App randomly stops connecting to my Gmail accounts and asks again the password for one or both of the account. This on all devices. It may happen for instance that iPhone and iPad works fine, and on Mac I have to redigit the password. Or MBP and iPad works fine and iPhone aks the password. Or for a while all of them woks. To make it short, the malfunctioning seems to be random, using Wi-Fi, 3G, at home, at work, in the car.... in the morning, at evening...
Also if I don't care to digit again the password and I click on Cancel in the dialog box, after a while may happen the connection starts work fine again.
It seems to me that the problem is on Gmail Server, I don't know may be Gmail updated the services and Mail App needs an update, or big G is making a sort of maintenance?
Or maybe Mail App doesn't turns unstable with 2 gmail account?
I don't know... I wrote to ask some advice and to query if this is happening only to me, or someone else is experienced same problems.
Thanks

With IMAP, all mail syncs across multiple platforms.

GMail, however, has its own interpretation of how things should be, and what they call IMAP isn't exactly what everyone else understands it to be. ;S
Not true. The POP protocol deletes the email from the email server when it is downloaded to your email client, unless you specifically set your email client to leave a copy of the downloaded email on the server. So by default the popped email is only available on the first device to pop it.
What is GMAIL's interpretation of IMAP? IMAP and POP are email protocols not GMAIL interpretations.

Delete emails on Mail.app and remain on gmail server

Hello,
I have 128 GB HDD and many emails syncing by Gmail IMAP. Thousands of emails are stored on my HDD and most of them I will never use in the future. Despite this I'd like to keep them in gmail server, just for case...
I was trying to reduce size of my Mail.app for very long time and nothing works correctly.
Ideal situation would be something like this:
E-mails older than 2 months will automatically delete from Mail.app but not from server. Or it doesn't have to be automatic, but I have to keep them on gmail.com. I'm not sure if it is possible with IMAP.
Please, do you have some experience with this problem?
Thanks,
Jan

Hi jvaclavik,
Mail that is kept in an IMAP account will show in your mail account on the Mac but it stays on the server. See this article -
iCloud: IMAP
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2585
You may want to use the Mac OS X Mail Archive feature, described here -
Mail (Mavericks): Archive messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14894
Gmail has its own Archive feature, described here -
iOS: Understanding Gmail Archive
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4207
Though the article is in support of iOS devices, the archive feature applies to Macs as well.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
