Mail cannot access gmail accounts

I use iOS 7.0.4
Since earlier today, mail stopped working with my (several) Gmail accounts.
I have not changed the password in Gmail or something like that. I tried re-entering the password on the iPhone, deleting and re-creating the account - nothing worked.
I have exactly the same issue on my iPad and Macbook.
iCloud account works, Gmail accounts don't.
Gmail works with other Email clients and the website.
Any idea what I can try to correct the issue?
Thanks!

I verified this, and I am not using two-factor auhtn on my other devices.
Yes, I am sure I am not using this (maybe I should...
any other idea?

  • TB client on W8 machine suddenly cannot access GMAIL account - why? It works from client on other machine and from browser.

    It worked fine until 6 days ago - then the machine suddenly could not access the gmail account. Accessing gmail from browser or from Thunderbird on ANOTHER machine works fine.
    Using IMAP and ssl.
    I can see this problem has many treads on the web - so it should be known to Mozilla.
    Regards

    Lots of thread on the web about "This problem" very few solutions though or you would not be here.
    The usual cause is anti virus or firewall. Which is why solutions are thin on the ground. Have you tried starting windows in safe made with networking? and then starting Thunderbird

  • Mail cannot connect to account....

    i keep getting this message sometimes a couple times a day ?
    "mail cannot connect to account ..."
    and i have to re enter my password everytime?

    Sometimes this problem can be cured by tidying up the Keychain, where login info is stored. You can do this by opening Keychain Access in your Utilities folder. Find the location and login info for the mail account. Delete, say, all but the most recent one. Does that fix the problem?  If not, go back and delete even the recent one. When Mail asks you for your login stuff, give it, then check the box which says to store it in the keychain.  Sometimes just doing this last step is enough to clear up the annoying login windows.

  • Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when i enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username

    Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when I enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username. how can i prevent this from happenning. I really need to access all my accounts and dont want it to save automaticlly.

    Why have 5 accounts if you need to access all of them.. just have one account?
    Sorry I cannot follow why you would even use the PC to control the Time Capsule. Apple have not kept the Windows version of the utility up to date.. so they keep making it harder and harder to run windows with apple routers.

  • Mail cannot access your mailbox information because it is in use

    I have my mail on a Truecrypt drive and I have an alias pointing to that drive in my library and so sometimes I get this message:
    "Mail cannot access your mailbox information because it is in use."
    Options are:
    "Quit and rebuild Information" or "Quit"
    If I rebuild then I was losing all my sent messages which is a drag and it takes a while to re-download all the messages. So what I tried was deleting the Envelope Index.lock file and then launch mail and it started up with no problems.
    I think the reason this is happening is that it is possible that when I shut my computer down, Truecrypt dismounts the drive while Mail is accessing the mail folder (hence the lock file) and so when I start up again and remount the truecrypt drive that lock file is still there and I have to delete it or Mail thinks some other program is using the mail folder. Just a guess.
    Hope this helps someone else if they Google this error.

    I do but I do it from another computer -- that is the whole point of IMAP, by the way. I don't see how my accessing the IMAP server from another computer should cause Mail.app to think that my mailboxes on my local host, which are just copies, need to be rebuilt. I filed a bug on this and Apple gave me the annoying "Known issue" response, which means maybe they'll fix it, maybe not, thank you very much. It went away for a while, and now it's back again... sigh.

  • I recently changed my Apple ID.   When I try to change my iCloud account on my Mac. I cannot access the account. I've changed the password once already. Any suggestions? My iPhone's account is fine.

    I recently changed my Apple ID.   When I try to make changes to my iCloud account on my Mac., I cannot access the account via System Preferences. I've changed the password once already.   My iPhone's iCloud account is fine. At this point my iCloud account no longer is working with my Mac. Does anybody have any suggestions?

    I finally figured out the answer to my own question. I created a new iCloud account on my Mac. Problem solved!

  • 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.

  • "Mail cannot access your mailbox information because it's already in use. Rebuild Mailbox information    Quit"  Both quits Mail.

    After installing Yosemite, my Mail stops working after about 20-30 seconds when this Dialog Box pops up, freezes Mail and says:
    "Mail cannot access your mailbox information because it’s already in use.
    Another application on your computer or on your local network is using your mailbox information. Click Quit to quit Mail. Then log out of this computer and any other computer you’re using. After you log in again, open Mail on one computer only. 
    If this message reappears, there may be a network server problem. Contact your system administrator to determine if it can be resolved by rebuilding your mailbox information. Then click Rebuild Mailbox Information.
    If this message reappears, there may be a network server problem. Contact your system administrator to determine if it can be resolved by rebuilding your mailbox information. Then click Rebuild Mailbox Information.
    Rebuild Mailbox information    Quit" 
    Clicking on either one quits Mail. I am receiving my emails. I can even send my self a test email and receive it before it freezes up in 20-30 seconds. My ISP thinks it's a "Kernal" software problem.
    Through advice by a friend, I have tried:
    Applications - Utililities - Disk Utilities -  and selected my hard drive and then click Repair Permissions
    Rebooted a bunch of times. The first time Repair Permissions printed a few pages of stuff. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th times, it printed out this:
    Repairing permissions for “Macintosh HD”User differs on “private/var/db/displaypolicyd”; should be 0; user is 244.Group differs on “private/var/db/displaypolicyd”; should be 0; group is 244.Repaired “private/var/db/displaypolicyd”
    Permissions repair complete
    But I still have the same problem I stated the the beginning of this:(
    Any more advice?

    I have the exact same issue, just after installing Yosemite.  Please advise

  • "Firefox has stopped working" message shortly after accessing gmail account--Help?

    Use firefox to access gmail account. Worked great until tonight--Nov 6th. Firefox autoloaded an update, then within 10 seconds of loading gmail account, I get a message, "firefox has stopped working", followed shortly by "A problem has occurred with firefox. Windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available". Nothing happens. If I reattempt to get into email or firefox, I get a "this is embarrassing message" with two options: restore or start new session--neither of which work. Please help.

  • Since I disabled features in the people widget, I cannot access gmail

    I was so annoyed at the people widget covering up my emails that I disabled all the features IN it instead of the whole widget (which I have since learned how to do) and now I cannot access gmail with firefox. I can with internet explorer though, but prefer to use firefox.

    -> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
    -> go to Help Menu -> select '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled'''
    Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
    -> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    -> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted/Incompatible Toolbars
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select "EVERYTHING"''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click '''Clear Now'''
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> in '''Startup''' section click '''Reset to Default''' button
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline Storage (Cache): click '''Clear Now''' button
    -> Click OK on Options window
    -> click the Favicon on SearchBar -> click '''Manage Search Engines''' -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click '''Remove''' -> click OK
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Appearance section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Themes (Persona) -> Restart Firefox
    You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons and Themes later. Check and tell if its working.

  • 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.

  • I cannot access my account?

    i cannot access my account? I entered my password, and was told it was invalid. I then proceeded to the forgotten password link, entered my email and was told to enter the email associated to my account, which is the one I entered and kept getting the same thing. So I tried to sign-up and was told the email I'm using was already associated to an account. I know what my password is, it's the same with all my online accounts. I am unable to reset my password and am quite frustrated..

  • HT1918 I updated my account on the computer and now cannot access my account on my iphone

    I updated my account on the computer and now cannot access my account on my iphone

    Seems like ios6 isn't any good for any of their devices. I have an iPhone 4 and recently updated to ios6 and have had all the wifi problems and apps getting hung up on load screens. Restore is your best bet and downgrade if you can back to ios 5.1. If restore doesn't help with a fresh install of ios6 then call every Apple support number you can find and be heard like the 1,000s of other people like us with ios6 problems demanding support. There doesn't seem to be any quick fixes for ios6 other than an update from Apple.
