Mail can't see my gMail

My Mail app can't see my gMail a/c, my main mail a/c, except for items in the inbox that I have not filed.
Background: I switched from a previous IMAP supplier to gMail IMAP last year, a slow business as gMail does not like the transfer of large numbers of messages at a time. Also, as my ADSL is very slow I did a lot of it away from home on an iBook running Tiger. As a result of this I ended up with a rather odd collection of folders that looked different on my iBook and iMac - some of the folders were white so I could not move new messages into them.
At the weekend I had a sort out of the structure except for one folder, which heaving emptied it, would not delete.
Then, all of a sudden almost all of my folders except the inbox vanished on both Macs, but to my relief all the mail still seems to be there on the web interface.
I have opened Mail again, but am afraid of a syncing disaster deleting my mail on the server.
Any ideas what is going on, I hate using the web interface?
Cheers, Colin

Because they are not iCloud mail. You can see iCloud mail (and only iCloud mail) in iCloud.
iCloud can back up your gmail and outlook mail account parameters (e.g., username) but not your message contents.

ICloud + Apple mail; can I see content in mail folders on my mac?

Question for those who know iCloud.
If I am using iCloud + Apple mail; can I see content in mail folders on my mac?
Have 2 email accounts currently (yahoo and gmail), and use smart rules to move my email to them for organization automatically, issue is then I cannot see them on my iPhone mail, they are there, then "gone" when moved to the iMac folder.

I don't see any evidence of an iCloud account there - do you actually have an @icloud.com address? iCloud syncs only its own email, it has no relationship to any other service.
However, if both your Mac and your iPhone are receiving, for example, Gmail, and you move a message on your Mac from the Gmail mailbos to a mailbox in the list under 'On My Mac' then this removes it from the GMail mailbox and as it's only on the Mac the iPhone cannot see it. In order to do what you want you have to create any new mailboxes on the GMail account itself and move the messages there.

I can't see my gmail messages

I can't see my gmail messages in Safari 5.1.4. I can see them in FireFox. Any ideas. Things were fine until two days ago.

Hi...
Check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info.
If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

I can't see my Gmail messages or attachments in Firefox, only the subject line, but I can in IE or when accessing from my Android.

I use Firefox 7.0.1 on my desktop using Windows 7. As of yesterday I can no longer view my messages in Gmail when I click on them using Firefox. A window comes up, but it just shows the subject line, not the rest of the message. I can see them in Outlook, and I can see them in Gmail from IE or from my Android.

This is only happening on my e-mail account, My mail will open in Explorer fine, but in Firefox it only shows the subject, it shows the rest of the message in a separate tab if I try to print the message.
My wife was able to open her gmail on a separate tab, and hers loaded just fine, subject and the rest of the message but on mine, I can only see the message and the Google adds, grrrrr please help!!! is this an Issue with Gmail???

How do you send a video via Gmail? Since upgrading to ios7 on my Ipad, ican't send .can only receive on the Mail.Can do both on Gmail but when I go on attatch it only accesses my pics not my videos

Since upgrade to ios7, I have not been able to send messages via Mail. I can only receive.I can do both on Gmail but when I try to attatch, it only accesses photos not videos,any idea how I can attatch a video?

Here's a troubleshooting article from Apple: iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
It doesn't seem to cover your specific issue, but have you tried using a different network (either a different wi-fi network, or switching from wi-fi to cellular or vice-versa if you have a wi-fi+cellular iPad)?
For GMail, iCloud and Yahoo, copies of messages are stored on their respective servers, so you could try deleting the account on your iPad, then re-adding each account one at a time to see if that resolves the issue.

Mail: Can't see addresses of senders

I cannot see the sender's email address for any incoming messages, nor can I see that in the results of a word search in either a specific mailbox or in all boxes (without looking at the Raw Source). Therefore, unless the sender puts that address in the body of the message (which is very unusual) I don't know who sent it to me. The sender's address seems an essential feature of any email client. Here is an example (the person is not in my Address book):
Of course, if the sender is in my Address Book, that sender's name will appear (as "Joe Bloggs"), but otherwise, not. This fault is present on both the Classic and the default layout system of Mail. (My version of Mail is 5.0)
A very clumsy workaround is to start the process of replying to the message, so that the sender's address appears in the "To" field. But surely Apple can do better than that.
Have I missed something in Mail > Prefs or somewhere? I really want this info to be readily available.

The email address is visible in the full message on the right pane, not the message list that you're looking at, which is just a short summary of the message.

SOS: Mail messages there, but Mail can't see them!

Hi folks. My wife just changed ISPs. She had three email addresses through her own domain.
Now she can send and receive emails from all three, but in two of the three mail accounts all the emails that were in her account are 'gone'.
But they're not actually gone completely though - when I go to Users/xyz/library/mail the accounts are still there, and I can work down through the various inboxes etc and see the messages - when I doubleclick to open them they open in Mail.
It's not that they're in the wrong spot or anything - I can see that new emails are also going into those very same folders, so Mail's still 'pointing' the addresses to the right folders. It's just that Mail isn't displaying any messages that were there before today.
I'm guessing there must be some file that indexes the messages in the folder so that Mail knows they need to be displayed. Could anyone tell me what it is, and how I'd force it to rebuild/fix itself?
BTW, I've tried restarting already.
Weird that one account went fine, all messages still showing, and the others have the problem.

Hello Paul:
Try rebuilding the mailbox(s). Open Mail. Highlight the mailbox(s) you wish to rebuild. Click on mailbox>rebuild (menu bar).

Mountain Lion Mail - Can't see time machine recovered mailboxes

If anyone can please help!
Somehow upgrading to mountain lion I lost mail. I recovered these from time-machine. For a while I could see them in the left-most pane under a heading called Time Machine. But in archiving some old content this folder-header (like iCloud or on your mac) disappeared. I know that the mail is still there as I can search for it. Weirder still, if I create a new mail-box I can see a Time Machine folder under 'on your mac'. I just can't get to the mail! The screen-shot below shows two folders (one containing all my recovered mail sub-folders) in the 'create a new mailbox drop-down' but only one in the left-pane under 'on my mac'.
I really need to be able to use this mail; sort of why I backed it up....

Same problem here. After hitting the Restore-button in Time Machine to restore an e-mail, Time Machine is supposed to make a folder in Mail with the recoverd mail(s), but doesn't. Accessing by doing a search doesn't always lead to the restored file.

Mail Can't Send Via Gmail

Using Mail, I send a message to [email protected] using Charter, my ISP. Click Get Mail. Mail shows MyID offline and Mail asks if I want it online. Click Online. It shows online. Click Get Mail. MyID goes off line. Click Mail > Preferences > Accounts > MyID. MyID has no password. Enter Password. Click another account. Click Save. Go back to MyID and there is no password.
In the meantime, I sent a message, using MyID, to another account. No problem.

Wow.... that's confusing.
Using Mail,I send a message to [email protected] using Charter, my ISP.
So, you're on the computer, or the iPhone at this point?
Click Get Mail.
On what?
Mail shows MyID offline and Mail asks if I want it online.
I don't understand this.
Click Online. It shows online. Click Get Mail. MyID goes off line. Click Mail > Preferences > Accounts > MyID. MyID has no password. Enter Password.
Still lost - Are you in Settings on the iPhone?
Click another account. Click Save.
Why are you clicking another account? What other account?
Go back to MyID and there is no password.
No idea here either.
In the meantime, I sent a message, using MyID, to another account. No problem.
Sorry - I'm not trying to be difficult here - I just don't understand your situation at all here. Can you explain with a little more detail?

Safari & Mail can't connect to Gmail

I recently updated my version of Safari to 3.0.4 while I was still running 10.4.11. After that I could not log into my school's google webmail account. Then I updated to Leopard hoping that would fix the problem, but now Mail isn't able to access my account as well. The error I get in Safari is :
chrome://vsearchext/content/script.js unsupported URL
Is there anything I can do? I'm getting sick of having to use Firefox for the sole purpose of checking my school e-mail account.

Hi,
I'm not sure about Mail, but for Safari that would seem to be caused by you installing [Xippee|http://www.xippee.com>. From their website, you can remove it like this:
Q: Where do I find the Xippee plug-in to delete it manually in Safari?
A: The Xippee file can be found here to delete it manually: /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/VSSafari.bundle or in our latest installation package in /Library/Internet Plugins/
Hope that helps.

Can't see some letters from my Gmail box in Mail.app in MAC OS 10.8.5.

Hello, can't see some letters from my Gmail box in Mail.app in MAC OS 10.8.5.

The solution was to remove all versions of Acrobat Pro and reinstall Acrobat Pro XI. I still had the download file in my Time Machine backup. That's a good thing, since the download link from the order listing on the Adobe website under my account would not work.
The problems don't occur with version 11.0.0. I got the work done, now I'm updating to 11.1.0 and will report if they came back.

I can't set up gmail in my iPad 2. Keep on saying ' can't connect with SSL and ask me whether to connect without using SSL, then I press 'yes' and it said again IMAP is not working and tell me to see network connection and incoming mail server.

I can't set up gmail in my iPad 2. Keep on saying ' can't connect with SSL and ask me whether to connect without using SSL, then I press 'yes' and it said again IMAP is not working and tell me to see network connection and incoming mail server. No idea how to do anymore. Already tried to figure out. But not work. Can anyone pls help me?

Nope, doesn't pass verification. I get the spinner for a minute or so, then the alert about setting it up without SSL. Are you suggesting I disable Fetch and Push BEFORE I enter the account details? Because I never get past the account details screen, unless I choose "Set up without SSL" after the warning.

I tried to send it through gmail and the acct is a POP acct
I'm not concerned about sending to the long address list. I just can't get the email and window that says "cannot send emai using the server..." to go away. The default must be "retry", because although I cannot see the choices at the bottom of the window if I hit return it trys again... and then of course comes back with the very long pop up window that I cannot see the bottom of so I can tell it to quit trying...
