Mac Mail Not Picking up Current Gmail In Inbox

I hope you can help me.  I am a brand new Mac user and am setting up my new iMac running Mavericks.  I added my gmail account successfully and wish to run it (as I did in Outlook) as a POP account (not IMAP).
However when I first added the account, it only downloaded an odd group of old emails from 2011 into my new inbox rather than any of the current mail sitting clearly on the gmail server in my Gmail Inbox.  The old 2011 emails are not even in my Gmail inbox.
Any ideas on what is causing this and how I can get my current inbox of Gmail to "deliver" to my new Apple Mail Gmail account box?
Thanks!

I'm not sure but do you need to change your E-Mail Preferences in your Gmail-Account to use POP.
See here hope helps: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20041110192454841

  • Mac mail not working with gmail 2 step verification in yosemite

    Every couple of days my 2 step verification seems to drop off the mac mail (and calendar) radar. Ive been using mac mail with 2 step verification (gmail account) for about 8 months, no problems. About 1 month ago my mac started asking for my gmail password. I have revoked and regenerated my password about 6 times recently to try to overcome this issue. The new password works for a couple of days and then mail and calendar start asking from my password again.

    Not quite a reply, but I'm not sure how best to add to my first comment.
    One of the issues with this (and there are multiple) is that I can't use handoff to work on something on my mac, started on my ipad, if it is working through my gmail account eg notes, calendar, email.
    This bug is totally crippling the productivity and flexibility that came with ios8/yosemite developments.

  • Duplicate Mac Mail notes

    Whenever I sync my BB with my notes in Mail.app on my Mac, I end up with multiple copies of notes on the Blackberry. There's only one copy of each note in mail.app, but even if I reset iSync history, reboot the Mac, wipe all the notes from the Blackberry and then select the "Replace all notes on this Blackberry device" option in Blackberry Desktop Manager, I still end up with multiple copies. What is going on? Has anyone else seen this behaviour?
    If I then edit one of the notes on my Blackberry, then run a two-way sync, I end up with 3 copies of the note, of which 2 are original and one the edited version, and 2 copies on the Mac.
    I'm running:
    Bold 9700 v5.0.0.321
    Blackberry Desktop Manager 1.0.2 (build 8)
    Mac OS X 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard)
    However, I had this problem previously when I was running Leopard and a Bold 9000.
    Any ideas on how to fix it?

    I've recently come across a couple of good threads which have info on this problem:
    1. There seem to be some issues between Mac Mail and IMAP access to Gmail which cause notes to be saved in different places (under different labels in Gmail):
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=407306
    2. Making sure Notes are only created "On My Mac" can help:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1376224
    However, even after following all this advice (and doing other stuff like wiping the databases on my Blackberry), I still get 5 copies of each Note on my Blackberry, when there's only 1 in the Notes. So I thought I'd try a spotlight search for some of the text in one of my notes, which happened to be "Corelli Mandolin". Hey presto, 5 copies of the "Mail Message" (e.g. Note) turn up in different archive folders in Mail. See attached screenshot. 
    After deleting the 4 other copies of mail (except the one in ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Notes.mbox which is the real one), the problem is fixed for me.

    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.

  • Hyperlinks in Mac Mail notes?

    How do I embed a hyperlink in my Mac mail notes?
    I can't find the info in various Mac Help resources.
    Thanks

    There is no "Edit/Add" on the Mail Edit menu in compose, in OS 10.3
    I've looked and re-looked. Not greyed out, not there.
    I'm thinking it is just not possible to create a hyperlink in OS 10.3's Mail.
    However, I see that I can copy-paste hyperlinks from other notes I've received into a note I'm composing, and it still appears as a working hyperlink. So I'm trying to figure out a workaround that takes advantage of that fact.
    Any ideas?

  • Mac Mail not downloading emails

    Hello. My mac mail is not working. It appears to be an issue with the Exchange 2007 server. The only way I can access my emails is via Thunderbird (which stinks). Neither Mac Mail nor Outlook will download my emails.
    Connection Doctor status: Mail was able to connect to the internet.
    I see that this is a common problem for many other folks. Has this issue ever been solved? I have spent a considerable amount of time on forums, talking to Apple Support, and Google searching -- no luck finding a solution. Its very frustrating -- I am using Thunderbird to get me by for now. I have a new Mac, Lion 10.7.4.
    Help!! Thanks.

  • Gmail on mac mail not staying in sync

    I've been having issues using my gmail account on the mail app, and they have persisted even since the recent update.  Sometimes, mail that I read on another device (iphone/iPad/gmail.com) and then either delete or move to all mail will still appear in my inbox on the mac Mail app.  I try to synchronize the account and quit and relaunch mail but this doesn't work.  the only thing which TEMPORARILY helps is removing the account all together and the re-adding it, but after a while the sync gets out of whack again.  Its hard to say exactly, but I believe this is mostly for mail i sent to All Mail rather than delete.  I have two gmail accounts and they both have this issue.  I did notice the mail app had created a label called Archive which I removed on my gmail settings b/c I kept confusing it with Gmail's own All Mail label.  I don't see why this would cause the problem, especially since the last Mail update is suppossed to fix issues for users with custom Gmail settings, but i'm not sure.  Anyone else having these issues?  Can anyone shed any light on this?  It's becoming very frustrating!

  • Mac mail not importing mbox archive from gmail

    Hi, I'm terminating an email but want to import my existing email messages to date into Mac mail. I have the archive of my emails via google, which put them in .mbox format. When I open my mail program, click on "Import mailboxes" and choose the .mbox archive file it acts like it is going to import, but never does.
    I've searched threads on here and have not found a solution. Someone please help? Thx!

    Not sure what OS you're on, but if that mbox contains .emlx files, Import emlx to mbox, See if this helps...

  • Mac mail won't download my gmail anymore.

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion and everything was fine for a couple of weeks. Now suddenly, for no apparent reason, mac mail can not download emails from my gmail account anymore. It's downloading emails from my business account just fine - but not gmail. I didn't change anything in the settings. It just stopped. Any clue why?

    My hubby's computer did same thing on March 12, 2013.  I tried many things, including 75 min with an Apple Genius who couldn't figure it out, but here is what finally worked:
    First of all - Do a back up with time machine to make sure you don't lose what you currently have!!!
    Try this solution for corrupt/problematic emails on your POP server... In OS X Mail, click on the In Box of the problem account in Get Info (Ctrl-I).
    The Account Info window will show up and list all of the emails on the server.
    Highlight the "Sender Unknown" "No Subject" emails in the list.
    Click the Remove from Server button at the bottom of the window.
    Before trying this I also tried:
    1)  Turn off Mail, shut down computer, unhook from electric for 5+ minute - then reboot computer & then reboot mail.  No change occurred.  So I moved to ...
    2) I went to online server to see that messages were actually there that hadn't downloaded because my mail (lower left screen kept showig 103 emails downloading - even though they didn't - even got the little "ding" mail incoming sound)  Emails were on my Frontier web page - but wouldn't download.  
    I went to Mailbox in Menu and went down to activate "REBUILD" - all it did was rebuild what was there and did not download the 103 emails on the server.  No change occurred.  So I moved to ...
    3) Went to computer of another family member and sent to frontier acct (the one having problems) and Gmail acct.  Gmail received the email but the frontier acct would not download the email I sent from other family computer that also has frontier acct.    No change occurred.  So I moved to ...
    4)  Went into "home" > Library > Preferences> and found:   com.apple.mail.plist and pulled it to desktop.  Still it would not download new emails.  Then set up new mail acct using frontier acct info - it downloaded all the old ones, but still did not download new ones.  ~ ~ Mac genious was frightened that I did this but I saw it on another forum as a possible solution.  No change occurred.  So I moved to ...
    5)  Made sure the little "offline" (wavey line)  "~" was not present, indicating the acct was offline, even though I'd already intentionally taken it offline and then put it back online from the menu.  No change occurred.  So I moved to ...
    6)  Did a "force Quit" of mail by holding down "apple" and "option" buttons while hitting "esc" button.  Still did not help.    No change occurred.  So I moved to ...
    Finally found a forum that suggested the "get info" and delete the Sender Unknown emails from server.  This worked.  I only listed all the other things I tried because they did work for some people, according to other forums, so I thought I'd save you searching all over and you can try them in any order, but if you do try them, I'd do #4 LAST since the "genius" was aghast that I'd tried this.  Hope one of the "fixes" works for you. 

  • Mac mail not able to access Hotmail

    I am having problems with Mac Mail. I can't access my hotmail account and mail keeps asking me for my password despite it being kept in keychain.

    Same here. I am so tired of typing in Hotmail passwords over and over, deleting and recreating Mail hotmail cookies is no use.
    For someone saying they are tired of Apple, that is strange. Mail is working flawlessly for me picking up emails from various domains/servers of mine, couple of Gmail, a Yahoo, an InBox.com, and sundry other mail accounts just fine. Only screwy hotmail from screwy Microsoft is the one that used to work, then stopped working when they changed policies, then worked again, and now does not fully work.
    If anyone does not like Mail, try using MS Outlook on Windows. In my Office in just 4 months' emails, it can take a minute to find emails with search. With Spotlight, and even Mail's own search, 20 years of emails (I imported all my old Eudora emails too), still respond faster in search.
    Hotmail cookies is my main frustration with Mail right now.

  • Mac Mail Smart Folders triplicate messages (Gmail-based mail server)

    I can't get Mail Smart Folders to work well with my Virginmedia mail server, which seems to use a Gmail type of system. (I'm using IMAP).
    It is easy to set up an instruction to select mail e.g. from defined individuals only, or any other qualifier.
    However, I get all mail in triplicate: from the normal Inbox, but also from Gmail-type "All Mail" and "Important" inboxes. I know these mailboxes exist on the Virginmedia server, and also, virtually, in Mail, but I don't ever look at them or need to.  There might be a way of not having all mails defined as "Important" on the server, but "All Mail" exists by default and can't be removed, for obvious reasons.
    I have tried various additional instructions in the Smart Folder such as include if "Message is in Inbox", but that selects all messages. Also, if "Message is not in Inbox", so that I get only two sets of messages, but that has produced strange results such as messages marked as in Spam folder, which seem to have nothing to do with the defined instructions.
    Is there anything "smart" I can do about this, or is it just a matter of Mail not being up to speed with Gmail-based servers. It's just an annoyance, more than anything.

    Nope. Gone.
    I went to my second mac. Opened Mail, it refreshed its previous state, with 1100 messages in the Inbox, I was relieved and while thinking about my backup options, Mail started its new activity cycle and POOF....Gone. One test message in the Inbox.

  • Replied Arrow in Mac Mail not synching properly between Macs

    Hi there
    We have a mac pro and a macbook both with mac mail. The email account is a gmail account and the two Macs are synchronised by mobileme. I have noticed that the macbook does not show reply arrows on emails replied to on the mac pro and the mac pro shows some reply arrows of that replied to on the macbook but not all.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks, Donna

    I signed out of iCloud, deleted every mail account I had added into the mail app on my mac, restarted the mac and signed into iCloud again.
    What it did was sync ONLY my iCloud account's mails. My 2 gmail accounts and one hotmail wasn't synced into the mail app. It was strange because under 'Mail, Contacts & Calendars', I could see every one of those accounts, but when I attempted to tick 'Mail', the spinning icon would appear and thats it. It would spin indefinitely.
    Doesn't iCloud keep ALL my email accounts seamlessly synced across my devices, and not just the Apple-certified email accounts that end with '@icloud.com'?
