Mail 5.1 and Gmail POP problem

Firstly I'm not sure if this question has been answered previously, if yes, please lead me to that thread. I've upgraded to Lion and I'm currently using Mail 5.1 to download ALL my emails from my Gmail account. Everything is working as normal, but when I ask Mail to fetch it from Gmail POP, it downloads just a few and stops. I have to again command Mail to fetch new email everytime and it does the same thing - basically it doesn't download all emails till the last received email.
I am looking for some answers and can't seem to find them. Can anyone help me please.

Ok, so it took some time, but I guess you can't use POP with the new mail, so I just limited the imap to 1000 messages through the Gmail settings. I guess that will work, but it is a little frustrating that it is not more customizable.

  • Mail 3.6 and Gmail POP - Can't connect

    I have been having problems sending mail with a POP Gmail account in Mail 3.6. It worked for a couple days and has been on and off the past 2 days. Now I can send nothing, but can receive. Here are all the settings I can find.
    Under the "Account Information" tab
    Account Type: POP
    Description: Gmail
    Email Address: [email protected]
    Full Name: name
    Incoming Mail Server: pop.gmail.com

    -Use only this server is checked
    Under the "Advanced tab
    -Enable this account is checked
    -Include when automatically checking for new mail is checked
    -Remove copy from server after retrieving a message is NOT checked
    Under the Account Information tab for smtp.gmail.com

    I had an issue (and still do on a rare occasion) where gMail doesn't recognize the password anymore. I've had to go into my Web-version account and re-create/change my password. It's not a Mac issue (my dad has had to do the same on his PC), it's a GMail issue. If it might help, here are my settings for eMail for my GMail account:
    Accounts: Account Information Tab: (won't list everything, just stuff that might matter)
    +eMail adresse: [email protected]
    +Incoming Mail Server: pop.gmail.com
    +User Name: [email protected]
    +Password: •••••••••
    Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): ("use only this server" is checked)
    (Choose "Edit server list" from the dropdown menu.
    Account Information tab:
    +Description: (don't think it matters)
    +Server Name: smtp.gmail.com
    Advanced tab:
    +Use default ports
    +Use SSL
    +Authentication: password
    +User Name: [email protected]
    +Password: •••••••••
    After clicking OK, go back to the Advanced tab.
    +Enable this account: checked
    +Include when checking eMail: checked
    +Port: 995 (Use SSL: checked)
    +Authentication: password
    I hope that helps. I'm using Mail 3.5, but hopefully it's the same. Also, having connection issues due to sharing an ADSL line can make a difference especially if the networking is sloppy or other people are moving huge files.

  • How do I synch iPhone 4S, Apple Mail 3.6 and Gmail?

    I believe this is the simplest way to phrase this:
    I want everything that I do to my Gmail account, no matter where I do it (iPhone 4S, Apple Mail 3.6 on a MacBook Pro, and Gmail on the web) to synch across those three platforms.
    Now on to the more complicated part and multiple questions:
    Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the only way for iPhone 4S, Apple Mail 3.6 and Gmail web to behave completely "in synch" is to use ONLY IMAP...and therefore, the first step I took was to DISABLE POP on Gmail web, and ENABLE IMAP on Gmail web.
    Problem #1: My Apple Mail account was originally set up as POP. Therefore, I created a "second" gmail account in Apple Mail, using the same username and password, but choosing to use IMAP rather than POP. So now MAILBOXES in Apple Mail has 2 "sub inboxes" under my Inbox, which I named "Gmail Pop (for archival purposes only)" and "Gmail - IMAP." There is also "DRAFTS" (unchanged), "SENT" (unchanged), and "TRASH" with 2 "sub trash cans" - Gmail Pop and Gmail IMAP.
    * Since POP is disabled, at this point is it safe to completely delete the entire POP account from my Apple Mail? If I do that, will "Gmail Pop" disappear as a "sub inbox" and "sub trash can"? I would like to have only 1 INBOX and TRASH under MAILBOX in Apple Mail.
    * Once I am ONLY using IMAP on my MacBrook Pro, what happens when I have no wireless / internet connection (for example, when I'm out of my condo and riding on the train)? Is there any way to actually download my Inbox, Drafts, Sent and Trash folders to Apple Mail on my Mac using only IMAP - so that I have the option to work offline?
    Problem #2: I figured out how to change the setting on my iPhone so that I can actually delete messages and not just archive them to "All Mail" on Gmail Web and make them disappear from the iPhone Inbox.  The issue is that on all 3 devices - iPhone 4S, Apple Mail 3.6 AND Gmail, with IMAP enabled I now have 3 "trash folders":  I'm not exactly sure where everything is going depending where it's deleted from, but I ONLY want it to go to TRASH (and not the weird [Gmail]Trash folder nor the newly created "Deleted Messages" option in Gmail Web) - regardless of how it's deleted.
    * How do I get rid of the [Gmail]Trash and Deleted Messages options across all 3 clients (iPhone, Apple Mail and Gmail web) - so that whether I'm running my thumb over the message in my Inbox and choosing "Delete" (iPhone version) / pressing the "Delete" button on my Mac (Apple Mail version) / checking the box next to the message in my inbox and then clicking the Trash icon that comes up (Gmail version) - so that no matter how I'm deleting my mail, all that happens is that it goes into just one Trash area (on all 3 clients) - so that it gets permanently deleted after 30 days....Basically, I don't want messages lingering in a bunch of different trash folders, where some are permanently deleted and some aren't - I just want 1 "centralized" trash area!
    Problem #3: In Apple Mail --> Mail --> Preferences --> Mailbox Behaviors: If I want the solutions for problem #1 and problem #2 to work, which boxes should be checked?  I don't really understand why you would or would not put everything on "the server"... nor do I understand what "server" they are talking about.
    Problem #4: Since I've started using IMAP on my Mac, my internet connection in general, as well as my Apple Mail, has slowed down quite a bit. Will this go away once I completely rid my computer of the POP files? 
    Problem #5: Doesn't it seem pretty simple that someone would want all the same things to happen to you whether you're using Gmail web, Apple Mail, or your iPhone? Why don't Google and Apple work together to make this a MUCH simpler process?

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

  • Mail.app and Gmail POP download problem

    I'm in the process of overhauling my entire email world. At the moment, I'm trying ot download all of my Gmail emails into Mail.app using POP. This isn't working well at all.
    My Gmail inbox has over 2000 emails and All Mail has over 9000 emails. POP is enabled in Gmail's setting for "all mail", not just "new mail".
    But when I go to download everything Mail.app's activity window tells me it's downloading x of 427 messages (and I have WAY more than that in Gmail!). So, what's going on?! Supposedly Gmail downloads in batches, but even if that's true, it's hanging terribly, even while just working with 427 emails.
    Does anyone have experience with this? I'm trying to figure out where the problem lies.... on the Gmail side, or the Mail.app side.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Since you do not need the All Mail folder when in Mail, you can select via browser and Gmail setting for POP & IMAP to exclude it entirely.
    Do a Google search with Gmail and Advanced IMAP Controls. To enable this particular exclusion, sign on to your Gmail account, click on Settings, then on Labs, and enable advanced IMAP control. Once that is done, you can then click on Labels tab in Settings and make some selections.

  • Upgraded to apple mail 4.5 now gmail pop doesn't work

    Have a MacBook Air...was on the fritz. Took it to Genius Bar. Seemed the OS was corrupted, and they gave me a free upgrade to 10.6.8
    Nice.
    Only problem is, am now having all sorts of trouble getting my Apple Mail 4.5 to work with Gmail POP. Some days are okay, but then for no reason it just stops downloading incoming...Can send. But receive just stops.
    Any suggestions?

    Any developers follow this forum? Any in site? Want any troubleshooting on my end or extra info?
    Looks like i'm not the only person with a problem.

  • Apple Mail 3.2 and GMail IMap

    Hi,
    Yes, I know this topic has been discussed on this forum before, but I have not 100% been able to put the pieces together.
    I can get Apple Mail 3.2 running Gmail via IMAP with no problem by following the instructions on the google site:
    http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=81379
    Then I set my account as directed by Google for recommended account settings:
    http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78892
    I am able to send and receive email. But I see some quirks:
    1. When I send a message, it is not stored in the Apple Mail "Sent" box. It just remains empty. Why?
    2. When I sent my first message the "Store Sent Messages on the Server" became checked even though I unchecked it during account setup. Why?
    3. If I have multiple gmail accounts that I set up in Apple Mail 3.2, will they all be under one Apple Mail 3.2 "Inbox" combined?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello Hal:
    I think you will get a better answer to your question by contacting G-mail. In my case, I use AOL mail in Apple's mail application. AOL catches the vast majority of spam/junk and it is placed in a spam folder. The few that get through seem to be trapped by Apple's mail and placed in the Junk folder.

  • Mail.app, movamail and gmail

    hi
    I use gmail for my main email account, which I access predominantly via mail.app. I've recently started using movamail on my mobile phone to check email periodically and I've realised that this marks the gmail messages as 'downloaded' in some way (although the messages are still marked as unread on gmail), so that when I check for new messages via mail.app, it does not download the messages that I've viewed on my phone.
    Is there some way to set mail.app to download all new unread messages? Or is there some setting on gmail or movamail that anyone know about?
    any help gratefully received.
    thanks

    Hi Jamie.
    This is a Gmail issue that you can do nothing about if you want full POP access to your Gmail account from more than one computer. Gmail POP access does not work as a normal POP mail server should. Here are some of its idiosyncrasies:
    1. Messages downloaded by any conventional POP mail client are marked as downloaded at the server (but not as read on the web), and no longer available to either the same or any other POP mail client.
    2. To make already downloaded Gmail messages available for POP access again, you must log into your Gmail account with a web browser and re-enable POP downloading for all your messages, which will cause everything (and I mean everything) still there to be downloaded again.
    3. Any Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings have absolutely no effect on the messages stored on Gmail’s server. The reason is that, after being downloaded, those messages are no longer available to any mail client, not even to the same client that has just downloaded them, not even for deleting them or checking whether they are still there.
    4. Messages created and sent using the web interface will be downloaded by your POP mail client as if they were incoming messages. You can set up a rule in Mail to automatically route those messages to the appropriate Sent mailbox (or to any other mailbox for that matter) if that's what you want. Although this may seem weird, it's good because it allows archiving all messages locally in Mail, regardless of how they were sent -- as long as you don't access the same Gmail account with more than one mail client, that is.
    5. Messages created and sent using a POP mail client such as Mail are also treated as if they were incoming messages for POP purposes, just as in 4. What prevents them from being downloaded is that Gmail marks them as already downloaded immediately. They would, however, be downloaded if Gmail settings were changed as described in 2 above.
    6. As a particular case of 5, messages sent to yourself will appear in your Inbox on the web, but won’t be available for download by any POP mail client either.

  • Nokia Lumia and gMail account problems

    Hi all 
    I have a Lumia 800 and I come from an iPhone.
    I've noticed, after a week of use, that the gMail sync is not "a real push".
    I've done a lot of test, and the results are not good.
    With the iPhone the mail is noticed immediately, with the Lumia 800 could pass a lot of time.. sometimes 15 minutes!!!
    I've also tried to set the account as an Exchange type, the results are the same!!
    The sync settings are correct: "as item arrives".
    Any suggestion?
    For Nokia and Microsoft: please try hard to solve this issue!!
    I'm really disappointed, besyde the battery problem now the gMail sync problem!

  • How do I sync Mail with Outlook and Gmail in browser?

    I really like the Mail app in OS X, but I've noticed that it's not synced with the browser version of my email accounts, so anything I do in Mail (e.g. read an email, delete/trash it, etc) is only reflected within the app and not in my browser.
    Just in case I didn't explain that properly: For example, if I read an email in Mail, and then switch to my Outlook account in Safari to check if that email has been marked as read, it would still appear as unread. If I delete and trash and email in Mac, that same email appears exactly where it used to be in Outlook, completely untouched.
    This bothers me for two reasons. One, even if I were to stick with Mail and not touch my Outlook/Gmail accounts in Safari again, I still wouldn't like the idea of my inbox being all messy if I were ever to log back in. Two, Mail doesn't seem to have any options to create folders and subfolders as far as I'm aware, so my emails which are very neatly organized in Outlook are all lumped together in Mail's inbox. So even though Mail is a neat little app, I still have Outlook and Gmail bookmarked.
    I'd like to know if there's a way to sync Mail with my email accounts in-browser, so that any changes I make in the app also show up when I log into my actual accounts? Maybe I'm just missing something or if this is not possible at all, please let me know. Thank you!

    You have to set those accounts up as IMAP. Right now you probably have them set up as POP3 accounts.
    Pop3 account are one way. You download your mail to your computer and send mail from your computer and it all stays on that particular computer. Imap stores everything on the mail providers server. Incoming and outgoing mail is always on the imap server and can be gotten on multiple devices. All sent mail is store on the server also and can be viewed from multiple devices.
    With outlook that might not be possible. Not sure if individual outlook accounts can use imap. I do know that the office365 side can as that is what my company uses and some people are using macs and other email program other then ms outlook.

  • Embedding html in mail to yahoo and gmail.

    I have been sending html pages via email to clients through safari/mail contents of page and so on. The pages are on my server. They contain simple images and a flash file. The problem I am having is that I cannot get the pages to view in Yahoo or Gmail. The preferences are set to view images and allow html. Thanks for any help.

    This appears to be the same actions as I used to successfully send.
    Attention must now fall back to the SMTP server you are using as the Outgoing Server -- are you using more than one, and if so please list?
    Is the message stored as any other in your Sent mailbox?
    Also, if you wish, you may send me a message that should contain the site, and I will send you the same, afterwards to see if it gets through to you, from my SMTP. My address can be found by clicking on my name to the left of this post, and looking in the bio line of my Profile.

  • Apple Mail 1.3 and gmail issue. PLEASE HELP!

    Hi All,
    I just bought a g4 imac for my dad and am trying to set up apple mail for him with his gmail account. I have tried everything and I keep gettin this error no matter if it's set for POP or IMAP.
    Applemail 1.3.11 Panther 10.3.9
    Please help a brother out..
    The POP server “pop.gmail.com” is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the “Incoming Mail Server” field. If it still doesn’t respond, the server might be temporarily unavailable.
    If you continue, you may not be able to receive any email.

    I have had a lot of trouble with the Apple Mail application and OS 10.3.9 and finally just downloaded Mozilla's Thunderbird mail program and it automatically set itself up to work with my .mac mail account. Maybe that would work for you too.
    You can get Thunderbird here, for free.

  • HTC Mail for Android and Gmail Issue

    Greetings.  When using the HTC Mail App which came preinstalled with my phone I have not been able to receive or send mail from my default account (Gmail) since September. 
    I get one of two different error messages in the notification Bar. 
    When trying to send = "Unable to Send Mail   The account setting is incorrect"  ----when I click this the Edit Account Screen pops up.  It asks for:
    Email Address
    Account Name
    Your Name
    I type these in, hit Finish Set Up and I get a pop up that says the account settings have been saved.  But nothing changes.
    I try again this time opting to click the update password box.  Hoping that once I enter my correct password for the gmail account that all will be well.  Nope...I get an "Warning: 401 Unauthorized
    When trying to retrieve....I get an Alert box that Says Log In Failed.
    This gmail account works perfectly fine on my PC and on the third party installed gmail app on the phone.
    I can't delete the account as it was the one used upon initial set up of the phone.
    The only thing I can think is that I did do a Cache wipe back around the time this issue started.  I did this because my wifes Incredible was having memory errors and I thought that I was being preemptive of the same issues with my Inc2. 
    I have searched far and wide for a remedy and have had no luck.  I would really rather not have to perform a factory reset.  Please help?

        Hi Irishbri!
    Email access on your device is very important! I myself use email on daily basis, so I know how frustrating it can be when your receiving error messages. Let's get this fixed. Google recently released a new verification process for Gmail accounts that allows the account to become more secure.  The process is called 2-step verification, 2- step verification allows the customer to ONLY sign into certain Gmail programs with their normal password.  Other applications requires the user to actually go onto a website to create a temporary password. You can turn off this feature http://bit.ly/SMZaWg. Once you have turned off this feature attempt to add the gmail account to the device. Keep me posted.
    Thanks,

  • Can not connect to iTunes and gmail imap problem

    I've been having these two problems in the last few days. Before I had nothing at all. Now I can't open iTunes or get gmail emails unless I'm on wifi. I'm on iPhone 4S and this problem is very new. Is there anything I can do to fix it or is it a common problem happening right now?

    If you're on 3G, then that's your cellular data.  If iTunes works over wi-fi, then there's no reason it shouldn't work over 3G.
    Quit & relaunch the app, restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  Test the issue after each point.

    You should not use "imta.filter" as the destinationfilter file-name. imta.filter is the reserved for the MTA-wide sieve filter file-name:
    http://wikis.sun.com/display/CommSuite/Mail+Filtering+and+Access+Control#MailFilteringandAccessControl-ToCreateMTAWideFilters
    When I send email from anonymous i want delete old Return-path and add new return-path. The problem is that i see on header the new return-path but i see the old also. The "Return-Path:" header is automatically added by the MTA after the sieve filter has been evaluated which is why you get two Return-Path: headers in the resultant message.

    Shane.
