Mac Mail, Groups & Google Aps

Trying to send a group email through mac mail, using google apps account. the group has 41 members. i keep getting "cannot send messages using this server" error, which does not come up when sending to individual addresses. Thoughts?

In Mail's sidebar there will be a subsidiary set of folders (located below the main Inbox/Sent folders). Click the down arrow to expand it, look for an inbox in there, if it exists and if it contains the mail do this. Select it, go to the Mailbox menu and choose 'Use This Malobox For' and choose Inbox.

Mac Mail - Grouping Mailboxes

Hi, is there a way to deal with each user account on it's own rather than have the 'Mailboxes > Inbox, Sent etc' set-up followed by each user account below that? I have read time and again people suggsting setting up smart mailboxes but this seems a bit unnecessary when outlook for mail has a simple option to 'group similar mailboxes together' or not as the case may be. Before you suggest just using outlook for mac I already am but need a separate mail application to deal with different email accounts as I currently need to keep track of 10 user accounts and would prefer to separate them, I was hoping mac mail would make my life easier!

Let's see if we can work through your problem.
A Smart folder's contents will NOT sync to other devices. It's a way to view messages on one device.
An IMAP folder will sync to other devices. IMAP folders do NOT show up under "On My Mac".
A folder under "On My Mac" will not sync to other devices.
The Friends & Family, insurance etc folders work fine and still show up on all devices. It's only the smart mailbox that seems to 'hide' my mail from her on my other devices.
The account is an IMAP account.
The Friends & Family folders exist only as it states "On My Mac". They do NOT sync. If you move messages to these folders the changes will not be reflected on other devices. While you can create the same "On My Mac" folders on multiple devices, they are not created via the server.
Please verify that both your accounts types. I suspect at least one is set as POP on this computer.
Open Mail > Preferences > Accounts > select account > you should see account type
You need to assign the Alex XIVVI folders.

Mac mail and google problem

My gmail has worked fine up until now, and now it's not working. I logged into gmail successfully via the internet, but using that same information, it doesn't work with the mail app. What's wrong?

I found out what the problem was, I had to turn off my Mac for a while and reset. This solved all of my problems

Using Mac Mail with Google Apps email reply to all deleted internal recipents

When I have received a message from an external user with internal company recipients as CC, upon clicking Reply to all, it deletes all internal recipients. Every time, on Maintain Lion and Snow Leopard.
I have tried looking through Google results and community pages. I find nothing on the issue. It's 3 separate computers all doing it. 2 are Snow Leopard and 1 is Mountain Lion.

When I check my email (gmail&mac mail)

On my ipad,
1. I can't see the smart folders I created on my MBP. I have Gmail & MacMail folders. Solution?
2. If I save an email as a draft, I can't find it again.
3. When I send email, I want it to always be with my gmail account/signature. How do I change this?
On MBP:
1. Can I merge my Gmail & Macmail folders under one group? I only use gmail, but I guess a long time ago, I unwittingly created folders under my Mac mail group in apple mail - the mail program that comes with every MBP
2. I have been creating regular folders, then setting rules to ensure incoming mail is organized into the right folders. But I also see the option to create a "smart" folder. What's the difference?
Thanks for your help!

The Smart Folder that you have created on the Mac will not sync to the iPad. Those folders are for local storage on the Mac only.
If your Gmail account is IMAP - and I was under the impression that it was, but I do not use Gmail - you can create folders in the mail app for that account. You cannot create folders for POP accounts.
If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
Any folders that you would create on the server in your Gmail account should sync to the iPad - if the account is in fact IMAP.

Have a google aps account. I can not get it to work in my mac mail anymore

Everything was working fine with my google aps account. I have an email that's connected to my website. It's no longer working in mac mail now.

Actually your suggestion is for Enabling the Accessibility Option to use the Keyboard for Mouse functions. Not to enable the use of a USB Mouse.
Please do some research on the topic before posting misinformation.
Thanks.

Go to System Preferences/Accessibility/Mouse and Trackpad, and tap on the Enable Mouse Keys. After you tap on the box, your MBP will give your mouse priority in pointing and clicking on your computer; hoever, this also deactivates your Touch Pad - so you can use only one at a time.
I'm sure this answers your question, but I'm wondering why you choose a mouse over a touch pad?

When I use Thunderbird with Yahoo Groups, Google groups, and other email lists, I don't get a copy of my own emails back from the list (I do with Mail.app)...?

When I use Thunderbird with Yahoo Groups, Google groups, and other email lists, I don't get a copy of my own emails back from the list. I *do* when I use Mail, so it seems like a Thunderbird thing. I'd really like to see my own emails come back to me in the conversation so that I know where my remarks fall in the discussion; it's very disorienting when you can't tell if your email has arrived at the list, or not. I can't seem to find the setting, and I've searched thru your help topics, etc., to no avail. Thanks.

It's both gmail and mac.com email accounts, and it's all email lists -- including some privately hosted on servers, that are not Google groups, not Yahoo groups.
I'm not sure what you mean by "saving a copy of your messages yourself" in Mail -- if I email to the lists with Mail on my laptop or iPad, I can see it on my desktop computer too, right in line with other email messages in the thread, after the list resends the message I've submitted. It's only Thunderbird that this "invisible posts" behavior happens, and it didn't use to happen this way. I used to get my emails posting right in the thread.

How do I make Mac mail and iOS Mail sync to each other with a google apps (not traditional gmail) mail account?

I have a google apps mail account in the form [email protected] I have successfully set up both my mac (A1342) Mail and my iPhone (5c) mail so I get my account on both devices. However, when I read an email on my iphone, it remains unread on my mac (and vice versa). But if I read an email on either, the copy in my Gmail inbox on the web is correctly changed to read. How do I set up my mac Mail and iOS mail so they interact with eachother?
I am running OSX 10.9 and iOS 7.

Set the account (on the Mac) as an Imap account, it seems as though it is currently set as POP.

Can I set my iCloud email as the outgoing mail server for my google apps email account in Mac Mail?

I have a google apps email account from an old client, all my work emails have been going to it for years. As I'm no longer affiliated with this client I'd like to make a transition to using my iCloud account for work. I asked people to use my iCloud address but as they've been using my google apps address for years it's what automatically comes up when they type my name.
I figure the easiest way to make a transition is if I reply to all the emails that arrive at my old address from my iCloud address and gradually they will start using my new address without realising it. But I can't find a simple way to do this.
In Mac Mail preferences > accounts > Google IMAP (my old account name) > Account information > Outgoing Mail server (SMTP) I'd like to set my iCloud SMTP server. But although my iCloud account uses its own outgoing mail server for its own account , it is not in the server list when I select my google account. I've tried to add it to the server list as smtp.mail.me.com but it caused my whole iCloud account to give me error messages until I force quit Mail...
Any ideas?

In iCloud/Mail, have you tried going to Preferences (select with gear at lower left)/Composing and setting a Send from address there?

Delete email in mavericks mac mail doesn't work with google app

Hello,
I've got a macbook pro retina. I've received it with mavericks pre-installed, I've done the update to 10.9.1.
I got a google app account it was use previously with mac mail on mac os X 10.8.
I've resetup it with the all mail settings imap shown. The "Auto-Expunge on" is set to "- Immediately update the server. (default)"
The problems are:
- each time I delete a message in inbox it re-appear if I click on another folder (like sent) and go back to inbox.
- if I move a message from inbox to a local folder it doesn't move it, It copy it. Before mavericks that feature was working.
Could you tell me what are the right settings in google app mail to set to work well with mavericks?
Thanks a lot, this new mac mail app is hard to work with...

I have been stung by a WhatsApp scam on my email account and changed my password. All mail sent is held in the outbox with actually sending. gmail account in Google works OK. How to restore Mac mail?

I have a one year old MacBook Pro, using Yosemite OS. In my Mac mail account I use gmail. I have recently been stung by an e- mail scam using WhatsApp. When I changed my password I was able to move on with mail on my phone and laptop. I now find that all the mails I sent yesterday have got stuck in my Outbox and have not actually been sent. i have since opened up my gmail account via Google and have pasted i the messages and successfully sent from there.
How can I now restore my Mac Mail on the laptop to send my mail?
I would interested to hear views.

Hello Nicholas,
It sounds like you are suddenly unable to send email from the Mail app but can log into your webmail and send the emails without issue. I recommend you use the following article, to help figure out what the issue is, named:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Can I set up Groups of contacts on Mac Mail?
Thanks markinnyon

Yes, you can. Is "Mac OS X (10.7)" still your current system?
You can create groups from the File menu in the "Address Book /Contacts" application.

Creating a "work group" for mail in mac mail?

what is the term in mac mail or in address book for creating a list of four or five or ten people in order to address a mail to all at once so i don't have to find all their names every time i send something? i can't remember where this is or what it is called.
also, any good tutorials on leveraging these kind of "business oriented" needs or describing additional timesavers that may be available in mail?
THANKS

Go to Contacts/File/New Group. Then drag the desired contacts into the group. In Mail, type the name of the group.

Sent message from Mac Mail work email shows my personal gmail account as Mail to: and account summary shows outgoing mail server as smtp.google while incoming shows imap.google

sent email from work through Mac Mail shows to the sender Mail to: (personal gmail). Account summary shows smtp.google on outgoing server and imap.google on incoming

Is there a way to add this automatically?
For a semi-permanent change, the Sending Server is named as "OutGoing Mail Server SMTP" on the Preference pane for each Mail Account.
To change its specifics, move the mouse cursor over it and choose "Edit SMTP Server List" from the drop-down Menu. Then choose the SMTP Server you wish to inspect/change and its information will be shown. If using similar ones for two different email accounts, change the description field, e.g., change "gmail" to "gmail (work)".
