Lion Mail unable to receive Gmail anymore after upgrade

After upgrading my system to Lion. I launched Mail 5.0, the app went through the conversion process and opened fine. Once in there I can't receive email from my Gmail account, but I can send. Anyone know a fix? My current settings are:
Incoming Server: imap.gmail.com
User Name: my gmail address
Port: 995 with SSL
Outgoing Server: smtp.gmail.com
User Name: my gmail address
Port: 465 with SSL

+1 also... No idea why this isn't working. Everything is set up exactly as it was in mail previous to my Lion upgrade. All of a sudden, no gmail connectivity at all...

  • Why is Mail unable to import existing messages after upgrade to Tiger?

    After upgarading to Tiger, I opened Mail and was informed that all existing mail messages needed to be imported in the new version. Everything started out fine until 'sent' messages were being imported. The time for the import went from a few minutes to 14+ hours and the count remained stuck at 1,634. I cancelled the import and tried it again but each time the sticking point is at 1,634 messages

    The conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.x is broken. Here’s an example of the most common variant of this problem and how to proceed in those cases:
    Just upgraded, Most of my old Inbox is gone!
    Your problem, however, is different in that you don’t even get past an incomplete conversion. If Mail stalls during the conversion process, you may try to identify the mailboxes that Mail is choking on, quit Mail, move those mailboxes out of ~/Library/Mail/ (e.g. to the Destkop), and trash any Envelope Index-named files you may see in ~/Library/Mail/, so that Mail re-creates the index and tries to import the remaining mailboxes again, then manually import the problematic mailboxes as Other.
    <hr>
    Alternatively, you may want to set up Mail from scratch and manually import your mail back afterwards. This would allow you to use Mail normally while solving the problem of importing the old mail as you see fit:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/. Move (not copy) the entire Mail folder out of there, to the Desktop.
    3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop.
    4. Open Mail and set it up again from scratch. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and check that everything works fine.
    5. You’ll have to re-configure all your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
    6. Do File > Import Mailboxes and follow the instructions to import your mail from the old Mail folder that’s now on the Desktop. Import the Mailboxes folder first, then each of the POP-username@mailserver account folders, if any.
    There are two ways to import Mail 1.x mailboxes into Mail 2.x. The obvious one is importing them as Mail for Mac OS X. But Mail 1.x stored mail in standard mbox format plus some additional support files, and this allows Mail 1.x mailboxes to also be imported as Other, i.e. as generic mailboxes in standard mbox format.
    Importing as Mail for Mac OS X produces the best results when it works, because it takes into consideration all the files in the mailboxes, not just the mbox files where the messages are stored, and hence, allows information such as status flags to be preserved. Importing as Other, on the other hand, may work in cases where importing as Mail for Mac OS X doesn’t, because it looks at the mbox files only, ignoring the support files which is what Mail 2.x usually chokes on, but precisely because of that, information such as status flags is lost and previously deleted messages may reappear.
    Hence, you may try importing as much as you can as Mail for Mac OS X, then import the problematic mailboxes as Other.
    Note that what Mail asks for when importing depends on the format chosen. Mail always asks for the folder that contains the “things” to be imported. If Mail for Mac OS X is chosen as the data format, the “things” to be imported are the *.mbox folders, so you must choose the folder that contains them, not the *.mbox folders themselves. On the other hand, if Other is chosen as the data format, the “things” to be imported are the mbox files, so you must choose the *.mbox folders that contain them in that case.
    Note also that some of the mailboxes now on the Desktop may have already been partially converted to the new *.emlx format during the previous (failed) attempt to convert them in place. If you tell Mail 2.x to import as Mail for Mac OS X a mailbox that already has a Messages folder, Mail will simply ignore the Mail 1.x files present there. If the mailbox was successfully converted to the new format, that’s fine, but if the conversion was incomplete, that’s not what you want.
    As a result of doing all the above, some messages may be duplicated. Andreas Amann’s Mail Scripts has a Remove Duplicates script that you may find useful.
    If all is well and you don’t miss anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

  • Unable to receive gmail through apple's mail app 4.3 on Mac Book Pro

    I am unable to receive gmail through apple's mail app 4.3, on my MacBook Pro although I can receive my email on the gmail web site. *I can send email through Mail with no problems I just can't receive any e-mail in Mail.* Recently I got a message that my user name or password was incorrect. I made sure the information was correct but still I can't receive any e-mail in Mail. Could somebody please help me?
    Here are the settings. Are they correct?
    Account Type: Gmail IMAP
    Incoming Mail Server: imap.gmail.com

    I had the same problem. The unlocking mentioned above worked for me. Right now mail.app is downloading the messages.
    I've also on other message boards found a link for correct setup: http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/answers/howto_setup_gmail_imap_andmail.app1/
    The key here is to go to labs and enable advanced IMAP settings.
    I'm not cheering yet if I hover over the folders / labels that are synced I get de message "Unable to open "foldername""

  • GMAIL Lost after upgrade to IOS 8.3

    I have lost access to my GMAIL accounts after upgrading to IOS 8.3 !
    IOS Settings does not provide me a way to enter a new application password for the account - there is NO PASSWORD box displayed anywhere in the GMAIL configuration. So I tried deleting the account and re-adding it but i get stuck in an endless loop of two-step confirmation and it "appears" to add the account (prompts me for which features - mail, notes, calendar, etc.) but then when all is said and done NO GMAIL ACCOUNT shows up in my list of accounts.  WTH?
    And trying to navigate Apple's support screens has become an exercise in frustration and futility!
    Anyone got any ideas how to fix this mess?

    Just wanted to add to this thread.  I found out that this might be related to using the iCloud Keychain on iOS and with a computer using Mac OS X.  Due to how iCloud Keychain stores all passwords across all synced devices, which can be both iOS devices and Mac OS X computers, the methods for accessing and updating those passwords has changed.  Not sure whether this is intentional by Apple or not, but it seems that the ability to update passwords stored in iCloud Keychain is not something you can do through iOS (or at least, I have not been able to find a way to access the keychain and view/update any of the passwords stored there).
    If you have a computer set up to use iCloud Keychain, you can use the Keychain.app to view/modify any passwords that are stored there, which "should" update the passwords stored on the iOS device, if that keychain item is actually synced to the iCloud Keychain. (Tested this and confirmed)
    The problem appears to arise specifically if you only have one iOS device (or only have iOS devices) using iCloud Keychain.  The option to update passwords seems to be missing.  Not sure it this is new to 8.3, but this is the first time I have run into this problem, and cannot seem to find any reports detailing this problem anywhere else.  In fact, to a greater degree, most articles/sites that discuss the iCloud Keychain only refer to the usernames and passwords stored by Safari, which are not the only passwords and information stored by the iCloud Keychain.  This issue being a prime example.
    I did notice that when re-adding my gmail account using my iPhone, the login page was actually just a webkit presentation of the gmail login page (webkit being the underpinnings of Safari, used for displaying HTML, but not actually the full app or Safari), which is where I entered my username and password, which I am assuming is now stored in my iCloud Keychain.  I even checked in Settings>Safari>Passwords&Autofill>Saved Passwords, and my gmail username and password are NOT listed there, so iCloud Keychain is storing some items somewhere else, which is not accessible by the end user through the UI.

  • HT1688 My iphone 5 does not ring anymore after upgrading to ios 7.0.2

    My iphone 5 does not ring anymore after upgrading to ios 7.0.2.  It did not happen right away, but maybe 2 weeks ago.  I tried turning the "do not disturb" on and add allow everyone to call as well as turning it off but it only vibrates when calls come in.  I also turned my phone off and it still only vibrates when calls and messages come in.

    I found another feed and said there is a silent button next to volume bar.  That was the problem.

  • Mail: Can't receive email anymore (spinning wheel)

    Hi,
    My mother can't receive emails anymore from the Mail application. I live on a separate continent and remotely logged into her machine, had a look at Mail preferences, reset the Gmail password, etc. to no avail.
    The mailbox's grey wheel would spin continuously and the new messages never show up.
    I tried the Connection doctor, but, it too, can't work. I get a message saying it is connecting to the account (in French, so my translation my be off). See the screenshot of the Connection doctor.
    Do you have an idea of what went wrong? I do not think my mother changed any settings, although it is not excluded (she's old and clueless about computers).
    Thanks in advance
    L.

    Sometimes Mail chokes on a message it cannot download and that prevents it from downloading the rest as well. Solving this problem will probably require removing one or more messages from the server.
    You may want to try to download those messages with another mail client such as Thunderbird first, to avoid losing them — and use Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to import them back into Mail afterwards if you wish.

  • Lion Mail unable to find "excerpts"/"character subsets" of email addresses (worked in 10.6)

    Hi,
    I recently started using Lion and feel that Mail search has been downgraded.  In Snow Leopard, I could search for an "excerpt"/"character subset" of an email address, but this does not work in Lion, and when I called Apple Care about this issue, they confirmed this is proper operation of Lion Mail search and didn't seem to think this was an issue of concern. 
    For example, I have an account with First Arkansas Bank & Trust.  I've received email from FABT from four different email addresses:
    First Arkansas Bank and Trust <[email protected]>
    FIRST ARKANSAS BANK & TRUST <[email protected]>
    First Arkansas Bank and Trust <[email protected]>
    Account Services <[email protected]>
    In Snow Leopard, I could search for "Arkansas" and limit to "From" field, and all emails from FABT would show up.  Now in Lion Mail, when I type "Arkansas" in the search field, Mail automatically searches all of my email content, so I get all my FABT emails but also emails from United Airlines talking about fares to a city in Arkansas and so on.  I am then given the option of limiting my search to "First Arkansas Bank and Trust <[email protected]>" or "FIRST ARKANSAS BANK & TRUST <[email protected]>" but not "First Arkansas Bank and Trust <[email protected]>" or  "Account Services <[email protected]>."  If I do a search for "from:arkansas," I get results for all but "Account Services <[email protected]>."  I can only retrieve that email address by searching for "from:aservices" or "from:first" because they appear at the beginning of the email address.  Apple Care tech support confirmed that Lion Mail cannot search for an "excerpt"/"character subset" of an email address like "arkansas" in the case of [email protected].  Is it also like this in Mountain Lion?  Is there any way to request that Apple improve its search functionality? 
    Snow Leopard Mail search had no problem searching for subset character strings.  e.g. doing a search for "rkans" (including full text search) brings up zero emails in Lion, whereas it worked perfectly fine in Snow Leopard.  I'm also not pleased with the loss of the scroll bar arrow buttons in Lion... :/
    thanks for any advice you may have

    I am sure they will read it, but it's impossible to know whether they will take action.  I would guess that having a large number of people ask for something increases the chances.
    For questions relating to how Mountain Lion behaves you should ask in its forum:
