Lion Mail - impossible to properly setup multiple Gmail accounts?

Hi all!
VERY frustrated here, for the third day now. I have been trying to set up my Mail application on MacBook Air running Lion, to sync 4 separate Gmail accounts.
Firstly, I had HUGE problems finding the info on how to go about this and not receive multiple emails in Inbox, drafts/trash/sent all over the place etc. I found a way to do that and now my MAILBOXES part of the pane is showing 4 inboxes, 4 sent, 4 trash etc. Everything seems fine, right? Not quite. Mail gathers emails into threads, just like Gmail does and here is where problems happen (it gets a bit difficult for a non native English speaker to explain the problem).
A thread may have for example 7, 8 messages from my friends and 3 different replies by me. One of these replies will show up in my Inbox 4, 5, 6 times one after another, with parts of the body message in all of them. Onle the one that was finally sent has all the body text.
It seems to me as if Apple Mail application saves drafts every so often and Gmail (or A. Mail) puts these partial drafts into Inbox?? How can I solve this?
Cheers and many thanx!

  • In the new mail app for OSX v10.7 Lion it seems I can only setup my gmail account as an "imap", when I need to set it up as "pop"... PLZ HELP I NEED MY MAIL TO WORK!!!

    In the new mail app for OSX v10.7 Lion it seems I can only setup my gmail account as an "imap", when I need to set it up as "pop"... PLZ HELP I NEED MY MAIL TO WORK!!!

    Go to System prefs
    Select Mail Contacts and Calendars
    Then select Other
    Then select "Add a Mail Account and click create
    Then go to google for the settings you need:
    First here for the settings online at gmail http://tinyurl.com/du3fu
    Then here for the setting in mail http://tinyurl.com/38fevm8
    These are instructions for Mail 4.0 but all of the necessary settings should be listed.

  • Why is the "From:" field being changed in Mac Mail.  I have multiple gmail accounts setup and it seems to change the "FROM" field even though I've selected which account to use to send the email.

    So
    I've got multiple gmail accounts setup in Mac Mail.
    Somtimes when I send or forward emails, it uses the wrong FROM field even though I'm declaring
    specifically which account to use.
    This becomes apparent when the person replies to my message and it goes to the wrong account

    Check you accounts in Mail and make sure each account has the correct outgoing server address. Check the box to use only that server.
    Second, go to the gmail website and in settings under the account tab, make sure you have the correct settings for replying to messages.

  • How to setup multiple Exchange accounts in Mail with the same username/password

    Okay didn't see a place to ask a Mail question so I am placing this here.
    I work for a helpdesk that requires me to monitor 4 different email accounts throughout the day. They are all Exchange accounts. The first one setups just fine but when I go to setup the others I get a message that states that the username and password are in use for the other account. Is there any way to setup multiple Exchange account when using the same LDAP creds for all the accounts?

    Csound1,
    I need to add a second Exchange account to my MBP using Mail.  Both accounts are with Rackspace, but each email address is unique (i.e., two different domain names).  When I use Preferences to attempt to add the second account, it recognizes the new credentials, finds the server and autopopulates the necessary address information.  But, as soon as I click "Done" after setting which functions are active on the account (mail, cal, contacts, etc.), the screen shows only my original Exchange account.  The new one is not added, yet there is no error message saying that it can't be added.  Any idea what is going on?  Shouldn't Mail be able to have multiple Exchange accounts, even if they are hosted via the same Rackspace server (in this case: connect.emailsrvr.com)?
    Many thanks,
    Wally

  • Mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select

    mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select:
    i'm using mail on osx 10.7 with multiple gmail accounts. when i create an email, i check to be sure i'm sending/replying from the correct account. after i send it, somehow it actually sends it from a different account, other than the one i've selected "from." this is evidenced by the reply email i receive. how can i fix this?
    in preferences, i have "send new messages from : account of selected mailbox"

    From the Mail menu bar, select
              Mail ▹ Preferences...
    The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
              Send new messages from:
    choose
              Account of selected mailbox
    Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
    If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
    In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
              Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
    If there's only one server in the menu, select
              Edit SMTP Server List...
    and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
    Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
              Card ▹ Make This My Card
    from the menu bar.

  • Syncing Multiple Gmail Accounts including Labels to the Apple Mail program

    First please point me to the correct thread if previously discussed;
    I currently have multiple Gmail accounts; with each account I have several "labels". I am trying to sync my multiple Web-Gmail accounts and labels(folders) to the one Mail program (i.e. Have each gmail account/labels show up in Mail as they do in Gmail). Is there a way to sync/coordinate the Gmail accounts & labels with Apple Mail and sync vise-versa (ie. move to an email in Apple Mail to a Gmail label(folder) then it sync the same in Gmail, or move an email in Gmail then it updates the same in Apple Mail)?
    Appreciate the help!

    i have it working now.  i have gmail forwarding my email to my me/icloud email, which are then pushed to the device instantly, when i respond it shows as coming from my gmail account since i disabled the apple outgoing smtp server and am using the gmail one.  i just tested it a bunch of times, gmails are definetly being pushed to my iphone and ipad, coming thru instantly.
    the only problem i cant figure out is why the iphone 5 is so slow to send thru the gmail server when the ipad sends instantly.

  • Multiple gmail accounts in mail.app via IMAP - how to delete messages

    multiple gmail accounts in mail.app via IMAP - how to delete messages so that they are not stored on gmail and not in All Mail therefore either.
    i know that dragging messages to the GMail.Trash folder deletes it in Gmail, but doing that for multiple accounts is a hassle!
    anybody else struggle with this, solved it?

    i have still not figured out a solution to this. very painful - the fact that messages iwill not be using ever again and with large attachments, just sit there in all mails and slow down mail.app for me, fill up search results with stuff i don't want to see and fill up space on the HDD. the attachments as a result often are stored 3-4 times on the HDD!
    some geek here must have solved it - come on!

  • Multiple GMail Accounts Contacts and Calendar Questions

    I have a few GMail accounts, one of which I just created to keep a cleaned up version of my contacts on which leads me to my first question.
    Is there a way to set the iPhone 3G up to be able to use my Contact list from GMail account A and yet when I click on Mail it gathers mail from GMail account B?
    Also has anyone been able to setup Push communication with Google Calendar to be able to sync Google Calendar back and forth with the iPhone 3G without using software like Outlook?

    Someone must have multiple GMail accounts; I am going to tamper around tonight and see what I can come up with but my main GMail account has contacts that don't need to be on my phone (and I can cut my list in half easily by getting rid of them).

  • Multiple gmail accounts on Iphone4

    Hi, i've managed to set up gmail account easily, but I want to send out mail from different account than gmail.. This different account has been added to gmail acc., and as my mobile operator seems to not have SMTP server, i cannot do it directly! is it possible to send mail from address [email protected] from gmail account on Iphone?

    No. Email account providers prevent you from sending mail out from another account (mostly because that's how spammers work). Some email clients do allow you to use a ReplyTo field, but the iPhone does not.

    Is my Gmail app on my iphone preventing my mail app from connecting to my gmail account?
    Whenever I try to type in my information to my Mail app it will not verify my gmail account- it says my username/password is incorrect when it isn't.
    Please help!

    it may be a two part security verification.  contact the email provider and see if you need a special password.
    some users find simply changing the password resloves the issue.
