Mac mail not recieving gmail account

I have a problem recieving gmail into my mac mail, it is constantly asking me to verify password which I know is correct. I have tried differnt IMAP settings withing my gmail, but nothing seems to change which my constant trouble to send and recieve mail.

Does it ever let you send mail? Like if you type it in does it send the mail? Or if you type it in does it receive the mail?
I would guess its two step verfication. Try this page: http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=ch_b%2F0%2FSmsAuthCon fig&answer=185833
This is your two step verification page (its kind of hard to find a link):

  • Moving mac mail messages to gmail through imap

    Newbie question so be gentle
    Looking to move my Mac Mail to Gmail through IMAP - this is to ensure I can access my mail from any machine whilst I'm on the road working plus if my hard drive dies (which it did a year ago) I won't loose any messages/folders.
    Currently have a couple of email addresses coming straight into Mac Mail and have numerous folders set up. Want to know if I link the Mac Mail to my Gmail account using IMAP will all my messages plus folders simply sync online with no issues? Will the folders remain intact (I understand Gmail uses 'labels' as folders)?
    Looking forward to hearing from you and thanks in advance for your time.
    Peace
    DK

    you can configure your gmail account as an imap account in mac mail. Then you can drag and drop either way between the 2 accounts. Once you have done that when you login to gmail webmail the mail will have been added there.
    If you want to configure gmail webmail to recieve mail from a different mail account other than your gmail then you need to goto the gmail website for answers as this is not related to apple.

  • 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'?

  • After installing Mavericks Acrobat reader stopped working, Skype stopped working, lost a bunch of e-mails in my gmail account in Mail.

    After installing Mavericks Acrobat reader stopped working, Skype stopped working, lost a bunch of e-mails in my gmail account in Mail. Anyone has a fix?  I can't open PDF files anymore...

    Do a backup.
    Take notes of all account information or take screen shots. You may need to set the accounts up again. Quit Mail.
    Copy the line below.
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Select Go/Go To Folder from the Finder menu bar. Paste the line into the window. You won’t see it.
    Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
    Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there. 
    Information learned from Linc Davis.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library Directory in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion & 10.8 Mountain Lion
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • 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.

    Do a backup.
    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.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

  • I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

    This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
    The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
    Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
    I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
    http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

  • 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.

    Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

  • Mac Mail stops recieveing mail with Gmail Accounts and Google Apps

    Hi,
    We're having some chronic issues with our corporate Google Apps / Gmail service when used with Mac Mail. Regardless of the OSX version... when it's not one thing it's another. It's nice to see that 10.9.4 finally correctly inserts the proper, full username in the SMTP field for Google Apps users.
    We still have some problems where users stop receiving mail silently in the middle of their workday. It wouldn't be such an issue, except that Mac Mail pretends nothing is wrong and suddenly the person realizes they are 3 hours behind on their emails. Magically, quitting and re-opening mail resolves the issue. Even more disturbing, is this article on apple support which lists this stupidity as the official workaround
    OS X: New email messages not received until Mail is quit and reopened
    I suppose one could argue that Outlook 2011's integration with gmail accounts is even worse. There's something to be said about "AirMail" being the #2 app in all the appstore currently. Clearly Apple and Google aren't putting their best foot forward to make this work.
    I guess what I'm looking for is something concrete other than "Restart Mail to get mail coming in again". Is there some workaround to see the connection status to see if something is stalled?

    Googles version of an IMAP system works poorly with most clients. If you are going to use it then choosing a client that works the way Google wants them too is a wise course.
    Of that breed MailPlane is easily the best, AirMail is a solid second.
