Mail and Google Mail Problem

After I bought a MacBook (in addition to my iMac), my Google mail got forwarded to Mail on one or the other machine (depending on which "checked" Google first)but not both. I then learned of Google's "recent mode" setting which enabled me to get all my messages on both machines. Unfortunately, it also sends my outgoing messages back to my Mail inbox! I don't need this since I already have these in my (Mac)Mail sent folder. Thoughts on fixing this "problem"? Thanks.

I am not sure if there is a way to prevent this with any setting. You could write a Rule to ignore the send back of Sent messages, I suppose. Also, the only way that the messages you send get on the Gmail servers, is by using the Gmail SMTP. If you use the SMTP provided by your ISP as the Outgoing Server of the Gmail account, then the sent messages are never on the server.
All-in-all, Gmail does a bad impersonation of an IMAP account without being one

  • Google Maps Navigation and Google Music problem

    Hello,
    I love the LG G2 but it has a few concerning issues. First, is the squealling, hissing, cracking, popping, etc. during phone calls, but I have seen that brought up by others.
    The second problem that I've discovered, and the most upsetting to me, is that when using the Google Maps Navigation and Google Music All Access at the same time, whenever the navigation voice instructs a direction, the music shuts off. It is then silent until the navigation voice instructs the next direction OR when a new track starts. This was not a problem on my droid bionic, so it must be an LG G2 issue. This is a huge problem to me as I travel a lot for work and usually use GPS to find where I'm going, and I subscribe to Google Music All Access so I listen to music in the car. This problem makes that impossible to do (I have to choose).
    A related issue, is that my Alpine CD player displayed track information (Artist, Song, Album) with my Droid Bionic, but with the LG G2 it displays 'UNKNOWN'. I find it hard to believe that a two year old phone has capabilities that a brand new phone wouldn't, so I'm hoping these issues will be fixed with a software patch.
    Has anybody else experienced these issues, or does it work fine with your LG G2?

    Hawaii is a part of the USA so you will be fine there. Mexico on the other hand, you will be roaming for data there and could see extra charges for international data.

  • Firefox and Google Chrome problem

    I updated plugins in Firefox - including Shockwave and now my Google Chrome browser crashes as soon as I open it. I uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome, but it still won't work. For a split second when I try to open Chrome I get an error that says something about Firefox, but it is not on the screen long enough for me to read or hit continue. I like using Chrome for one of my email accounts and some other stuff. Any one else having this problem?

    Normally there's no connection between Google Chrome and Firefox. Do you have any Chrome add-ons that interact with Firefox in any way, for example, to share data such as bookmarks, history, etc.?
    Chrome has an integrated version of the Flash plugin, so updates for Firefox or IE usually have no effect on Chrome.
    Does Chrome have a command-line switch to start up with a blank page instead of your regular home page? Or a "safe mode" with add-ons disabled? If so, you might try those.
    Perhaps if you use a screen recorder (like Jing) you can record that fleeting message and reply back with whatever it says.

  • Firefox 8 and Google Maps problem!

    Ever since upgrading to Firefox 8 (I don't recall this problem using firefox 7.01) using maps.google.com if I search for something like watertown, wi or greendale, wi it will work the first time or so. Then afterawhile it will just say "loading" and stop working. This is on Windows XP Pro 32bit.
    I have completely re-installed firefox from scratch (deleted all settings) and started over. But, it does the same thing!
    Help!

    I have this same problem with Firefox 9.0.1, but not with explorer; "problem" = destination and location markers in Google Maps don't appear and hence can't be clicked and dragged, really limiting usefulness. Problem began a few weeks ago, maybe when Firefox updated. Haven't added any new add-ons. Tried opening Firefox in safe mode, tried the add-on posted here, tried the various Tools>Internet Options suggested here, none worked.

  • Verizon Cloud and Google Account Problems for Turbo

    I purchased the Droid Turbo yesterday. My previous phone was registered for a backup account through my gmail account. Upon registering my new phone with the gmail, my contacts were not updated in my phone and it seemed that all of my data was lost. I was under the impression that since my phone had a backup account setup with Google, that all of my contacts and data would be transferred once I registered my new phone with the same account. If anyone has advice on how to fix this, please tell me. I am quite upset that the verizon clerk assured me it would work perfectly and that everything was set up.
    Also, I am unable to access the verizon cloud on my phone. It keeps giving me an Error 4547 code. I have done some research and it looks like there is a possibility that my phone isn't compatible with the cloud. I don't know how this could be possible. Please let me know if I am wrong and provide some suggestions on how to fix this.
    With all the advancements in technology it is ridiculous that switching to a new phone hasn't become any easier.
    Thank you for any help.
    Adam

        bseballfrk35, I know the importance of having your phone content transferred successfully. Sorry to learn that you're having such difficulty. While we don't have access to your Google account infomation; you can definitely check your Gmail account for contacts by signing in at www.google.com/contacts.
    Regarding your Verizon Cloud application; when are you seeing this error message appear? Is your phone connected via Wifi or though our mobile data? Please share details so we can help.

  • Apple mail and google 2 factor authentication

    I am using 2 factor authentication to connect with gmail. I receive messages without a problem, but when I try to send mail I frequently get a cannot connect error asking for the password to be re-entered. I will then get a new application specific password for gmail and replace the SMTP password. That will work for a day or two, but then it will again fail for sending messages.
    Does anyone know if there are particular problems using 2 factor authentication with gmail and OSX mountain lion mail> Am I missing some setting?
    thanks for any insights.

    I had looked there several times - and it didn't specifically discuss 2 factor authentication - that is why I posted my question. I had followed instructions and continued with problems.
    Yesterday there was a Macworld article posted online about gmail imap. One thing mentioned in the article that is in addition to what is on the google site is that under system preferences there is a mail contacts panel where the gmail password can also be entered.
    I generated a new app specific password and entered it in all three places (sys pref panel, imap server, and smtp server.)
    At this time that seems to be working.
    Will have to see if it sticks.
    Google also had a help item suggesting that if the ask for password dialog pops up when attempting to send mail then get a new app specific password and enter it into that box.
    Hopefully the issue is resolved. will give it a few days to be sure.
    Thanks

  • Apple Mail and Google Apps (personal domain) - 554 554 Denied Mail Delivery Subsystem (Intermittent Failure)

    Hello,
    I am having problems with my Apple Mail and Google Apps and I don't know what to do.  I have been using apple mail with google apps for a few months now with no complications.  In the last week I have recieved a handful of messages from the Mail Delivery Subsystem citing error "554 554 Denied". I know that the emails I have tried to send to are real emails and are entered correctly. I tried to send directly from google apps to one of these people today and it worked so I assume the problem is with Apple Mail, or is intermittent. Adding to my frustration is that it works with some people and not with others so it's hard for me to see exactly what is causing the problem.
    Any ideas?
    I'll include a copy of one of the Mail Delivery Subsystem emails I recieved - excluding the email address and message body.
    Thanks for your help!

  • 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.

  • Many syncing and e-mail problems.

    Hi folks, lots of syncing and e-mail problems here:
    Syncing: My phone won't sync iCal (it tells me my phone is disconnected), my safari bookmarks or my email accounts. I've been through the threads here, tried resetting iSync, tried deleting calendars and resetting to 10 days instead of 30 -- still no luck. For e-mail, initially iTunes saw the e-mail accounts but did not sync theml. I tried the one-time advance settings and now it's not even seeing the accounts and still not syncing them. and for Safari, no luck with the bookmarks at all even thought the check-box is checked.
    Also, the iPhone won't receive e-mail from any of my POP accounts, even the one I set by hand (because none of the settings synced.) I used the same settings that I have on my desktop, but no luck. I use RoadRunner, so I know I can't send off it. But I went to the genius bar today and they told me to just leave the SMTP server field blank and I should be able to receive, but all I get on wi-fi and edge is a message that says, "Cannot Get Mail, the connection to the server "pop-xxxxxx etc" failed." even on my home netowrk, with five bars, it can't seem to connect. (btw, it does seem to be working properly on my .Mac account, but I don't use that account for most of my correspondence.)
    As far as the sync problems, the genius bar told me to reinstall iTunes, which I did with the new update that just came out this evening. Still no luck.
    any thoughts? bum phone? some setting I'm not catching? any help would be appreciated.

    You will find the iPhone will freak out over any kind of perceived data corruption. Calendars seem to the worst for this (windows or mac)
    Test in a new user and try sending info in each direction. If it works - then your phone works fine.
    Other users have reported having to basically copy the contents of their calendars into a sticky or text edit window. delete the calendars and create brand new ones. they then just transfer the data back.

  • Mail Problems before and after 10.4.6

    On Friday, running under 10.4.5, Mail started acting strangely (it would have the gray wheel around my main accounts -- from two different servers). I would have to force quit. At the same time, address book stopped opening (it would require a force quit as well) and iCal similarly began to have problems (it would not accept new events and would also require a force quit). I upgraded to 10.4.6 and now Mail (2.08) will not open at all and the other problems continue. I have verified the permissions. there is plenty of free space. I am not keen to reinstall and since the problem occurred without any other apparent problem, I wonder if anyone has a solution.

    I'm having the exact same problems -- plus Safari is repeatedly crashing. Strangely, it's only happening on one side of the two user set up!!
    I reinstalled OS 10.4.5 Monday (4/3) to try to fix the Mail issue, and later that night 10.4.6 was automatically downloaded and installed. That's when the other problems started.
    Question: Are fresh versions of just Mail 2.0.8 and Safari 2.0.3 (or later) ONLY available for downloading somewhere?

  • E71 E-Mail Key and Related Mail Problems

    Since my E71 was updated to the latest firmware (at a Nokia Service Center) around 6 months ago I have had a number of odd mail problems, which manifest themselves as follows:
    After an initial boot everything with mail and messaging works fine as expected. However at least once or twice a day the phone switches unpredictably into an odd mode with the following symptoms:
      1) E-Mail key stops responding to short or long presses.
      2) New e-mails and sms messages which arrive do not appear on the home screen as usual, though they may (or may not) appear as small icons in the top right corner of the screen.
      3) For new e-mails only the title/header is downloaded, whereas usually I have it set to automatically download the first 2 K of each message.
      4) New messages still appear as 'unread' even after reading them. Manually setting them to 'read' works, but only after a long delay.
      5) The flashing navigation key light which warns of new messages/mails gets stuck in flashing mode and will not stop until the phone is rebooted.
    Problems 1-3 occur every time, and 4&5 occasionally, but all can only be cured by rebooting the phone, after which it works fine again - for a while.
    Since I first saw this problem I have updated the firmware twice (it is currently on the latest version), but the problem persists. I wonder if anyone has seen this problem or has any idea how to fix it? It's a great irritation with an otherwise excellent phone, especially since it was all working fine when I first purchased it. Thanks for any comments or suggestions

    For anyone who is interested, I've found the answer to my own question, though not the solution to my problem. After several days playing with mail settings I noticed that when Retrieval settings > E-mail to retrieve is set to 'Headers only' or ' Msgs & attachs', there is no problem. However, if it is set to 'Size limit' with a setting of say 2K or 5K (i.e. just enough to capture the first few important paragraphs of any message) then receipt of many types of formatted mails larger than the specified size causes the mail program to crash, and the OS to switch into the odd mode described in my earlier post.
    This is particularly irritating since I travel frequently overseas in Asia where roaming GSM data use is expensive (and there are no caps or limits on roaming fees), and due to the nature of my work my e-mails typically come with long threads and large attachments. Therefore I am left with the choice between:
         A) Downloading mail headers only and waiting till I can find a WiFi connection to find out what the message actually says
         B) Downloading the whole message and paying many hundreds of dollars a month in data roaming fees
         C) Using the fixed mail size limit setting and accept that my mail program will crash several times a day and
              require the phone to be rebooted each time to restore normal functionality
    Anyway, it seem this problem is clearly due a bug with the Nokia mail software in recent builds, since it worked fine with these exact same settings for the first year I had the phone, and repeated clean re-installs of the latest firmware do not fix the problem. Therefore, if any Nokia developers are monitoring this board you can add this to your bug list, and you know where to start looking for the bad bit of code.

  • More and more mail problems

    What a disaster. I've written about my mail problems before with mail before and I know what I managed to do this time is my fault, its something "I" don't understand about mail. But man am I screwed.
    I use my imac 98% of the time and I get 100% of my email on it (mobileme, concast, gmail). All works fine.
    A week ago I have an emergency appendix surgery and am doing rather poorly so I'm in bed on my macbook air. I need to get my email on that computer. I enable the email accounts so I can get all my "new" mail. Ugh, it starts syncing and bingo 2 weeks worth of mail on my imac is gone. No where to be found. Tons of work mail, important mail, lordy this is a mess.
    I know it had something to do with syncing.. the only account that is imap is my mobileme but I lost a ton of mail in that and its not on either computer or on the mobile me page either. It's just gone. And so is the gmail on the imac and again that isn't imap its a pop account and it was mail that was not in my inbox, I had received it weeks ago and put it in other mail boxes I created (like the work folder). And it just is all gone.
    IF anyone can shed some light on what I did and how to avoid this, I'd love that. Should I have just gone to the websites to check the mail (gmail site, comcast.net, mobileme site?)
    I am really in trouble with this email thing I lost stuff that I can't recreate. What a huge huge mess.
    thanks for any insight,
