Mail/ Gmail question

I already have my personal email configured in mail (POP account). I have just set up, for business, a gmail account, which I want to be able to send and receive from Mail alongside my personal account. i.e: I want to be able to have both accounts set up which I can switch between, rather than having to log onto Gmail via Safari.
When I try and follow the Gmail/ OSX advice, mail tells me I already have a POP account configured and won't allow me to add another.
Any way around this?
Also, is it possible to have a separate inbox/ folder for the gmail emails to go directly to?
Thanks in advance

It looks like you’re trying to set up a mail account with the same Account Type, User Name and Incoming Mail Server as an already existing one, which doesn’t make sense in the circumstances you’ve described. Could you please clarify this?
You should certainly be able to set up as many mail accounts in Mail as you wish, and each would have its own separate mailboxes, as long as the Account Type, User Name and Incoming Mail Server are not the same...

Try Restarting / rebooting your Mac before doing anything more drastic..

Mail RAM question

I set PUSH to off and FETCH to manually, question is, will it still use memory when it is running on background/multitasking? I've red somewhere that apps don't need to be necessarily removed from the multitasking, how about when MAIL (default app, yahoomail and gmail) is on the multitasking?

You do the following when you want to conserve battery:
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Push>OFF
Settings>Notifications>Mail>Gmail>Notification Center>OFF
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Fetch New Data>Off

I downloaded the newest version of Firefox and now I can not use any of the clickable link tabs in yahoo mail, gmail, or hotmail. Do you know what is causing this.

Go to msn.com for example: at the top of their page they have clickable link to hotmail. When I upgraded to Firefox 7 this link no longer works. Same thing happens with my yahoo mail, gmail and hotmail. If you open up yahoo mail for example; I can not click on the signout tab.... it doesn't function with firefox 7. I worked prior to uploading new version. I don't have that problem on my windows 7 platform.

That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

How do I get my ALL MAIL gmail folder back in Mac Mail after upgrading to Mavericks?

Hi
I've upgraded to Mavericks - very cool !........ but my Mac Mail gmail ALL MAIL folder seems to have vanished in my Mac Mail listings.
Any advice how to get it back?
N)

It seems its all in the new ARCHIVE folder which shows up now.......but dont delete mails in the inbox as that really deletes them and they go to TRASH. So you have to manually MOVE TO ARCHIVE to ensure it finds itself in ALL MAIL on the gmail server. Hope that helps?

Can someone explain my POP mail/GMAIL

Hey,
I have no unread messages in my inbox and a total of 70 emails. When I sync it up with my iPhone, they all come back as new and it says I have 800 unread emails! What's going on? When I sync with Outlook it's fine. I also set it to "Enable POP only for mail that arrives from now on" on the GMAIL settings. Does anyone know what's going on?

It's really quite simple:
Gmail's organizational structure is based on meta tags rather than hard folders like Yahoo! or .Mac mail. That said, Gmail's folders are virtual, with only one real "folder" containing all your mail - new, archived, and even sent - in what looks like a giant Inbox.
That said, when a POP client accesses Gmail's servers, it downloads everything in that big folder. The biggest flaw in Gmail's POP interface is that Sent messages get downloaded into the client's inbox. Using most POP clients, you can specify a rule that any incoming mail from "Your Name" gets moved to the Sent folder and marked as read. Unfortunately, the iPhone doesn't support rules yet.
The settings that work for me on the iPhone are as follows:
Settings -> Mail -> Show: 25 Recent Messages
Settings -> Mail -> Gmail -> Advanced -> Use Recent Mode
Settings -> Mail -> Gmail -> Advanced -> Delete From Server: Never
If you want to use hard folders, Y! IMAP or .Mac IMAP may be the way to go. You can have Gmail forward to those accounts, and set rules in those accounts to direct which folders the incoming mail goes to.
Hope that helps!

Cannot log in to yahoo mail, gmail, facebook, discussion forums

Over the past week I've had trouble logging into yahoo mail, gmail, facebook and certain discussion forums.
I can't even get to the yahoo mail or gmail log in page.
I type my log in info on the facebook page and press enter and nothing happens.
I've tried everything to solve this problem: I've deleted cookies.sqlite and cookies.sqlite-journal; deleted all my cookies; typed the appropriate website addresses in the exceptions window; removed my add-ons and themes; and even re-installed Firefox.
Nothing has worked.

I've done all those things.
I forgot to add, that I even started Firefox in safe mode and I still have the problem.

Gmail and Mail -- specific question

I use Gmail as my default mail service, but I would like to take advantage of the built-in "email this file" options in OS X. However, I don't want Mail to try to download all my messages and download all the attachments etc of email that I've already seen and archived in the web version of Gmail. I just want to be able to send and not receive in Mail.
Additionally, when I had Gmail set up for POP use, I wasn't able to send email from Mail. Only receive.
Thanks in advance for any replies!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

But anyway, both ways can work, and the former I was
told about is in use right now.
Beware, however, that both ways are not equivalent. If you leave POP download enabled in Gmail, all mail that arrives there will keep accumulating, waiting for some POP mail client to download it...
Now, let's suppose that a few months from now, when you no longer remember this thread, you create a new account in Mail and some day you decide to manually check for your mail and click the Get Mail button in the toolbar. What do you think would happen then? Hint: you're going to get a really big surprise...

I am trying to attach photos in an e-mail (Gmail), however I can't access yesterday's or todays photos which were downloaded from the iphone to iphoto, and added to a new album. I can access all photos from all days previous to yesterday. Why? I

I am not able to access today's or yesterday's photos in the Attachment box when trying to e-mail photos using Gmail. I am using a new Mac Book Pro, photos from my iPhone, and download to iPhoto. All photos previous to yesterday are accessible. This is a recurring issue. Any help here?

The photos is question don't show up in the Last Import smart album?
In the Event mode set View ➙ Sort Events ➙ By Date ➙ Descending. That way the newest Events will be at the top of the window. Do you see the photos in the last couple of events?
If no to all of the above try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Mail Rules Question

I have a lot of email on my Gmail account. A semi significant portion of them are status updates, such as Facebook, Pownce, Netflix, and other site updates. In the past when I used POP, it wasn't such a big deal to keep these emails because Gmail offers something like 4GB of space. However, now that I am switching to IMAP, it's taken me forever sync with all 14,000 emails on the Gmail server.
I don't want to have to do that again, especially not on my iPhone.
My question is this: Is it theoretically possible to setup a mail rule to have a specific folder delete all its contents after a specified amount of time? Looking in the default mail rule options, there is the ability to delete email as it comes in, but not necessarily after, say, 30 days. I'm looking for something along the lines of, "every 30 days, delete everything in this mail folder."
Any ideas?

Mail doesn’t provide that functionality, but you may set up a smart mailbox that displays the messages to be deleted, then manually delete whatever shows up there every once in a while.
Yeah, that's what I figured.
Another option is writing an AppleScript and selecting the "Run AppleScript" rule option, but I'm a) not 100% it's even possible, and b) rusty on AppleScript.

Apple Mail, GMail and Cableone

I see a lot of problems on here with imap/pop and gmail, but not one that addresses my issue so...
Cableone recently "partnered" with google gmail to handle their email. I didn't realize it until I went in to set up a short term email for my husband. I couldn't get it to work and called cableone and was then informed of the new mail changes.
A tech support guy helped me set that account up and all my other emails—we have 7 accounts—and they work fine except my sound doesn't play when I receive mail AND several more boxes are set up at the bottom of my Mail for those imap accounts AND my Dock Mail always says I have double the messages that I actually do have AND my little "clock" next to our email accounts doesn't spin like it used to. Now, these might not be big deals but I want it to work like it should and all of these issues have only shown up when I set them to IMAP.
So this morning I called Cableone and said I want to set our MAIN account back to POP with GMail and let it work for a couple of hours and see what happened. He helped me do this and warned me that I might lose some of my emails and since there weren't any important ones on there I said it wasn't a problem. I am not liking the GMail imap. Since I only set our main house account back to POP and it can be done and work fine, here are my questions:
If I lose some that I've stored on my computer in "On My Mac" can they be retrieved?
And what is the major difference between POP and IMAP and am I safe with it being POP with GMail?

Still need help. I was on the phone with Cableone yesterday and deleted all my email accounts and added them back on with remote access help from them. Worked when they emailed me a test email, but again I'm not getting all my email from them. When I check online I see emails I'm not getting. BUT I am getting all of them on my MacBook Pro. Now, how can that be? I have the iMac and MBP sitting here together and the MBP gets all the emails but iMac doesn't. Does anyone know what I can check to see. MBP runs 10.5.8 and iMac is 10.6.4 is the only difference. This is very frustrating, but surely one of you gurus can think of something. I really don't want to have to change ISPs. Please! TIA

AOL through GMAIL Questions

Hi, I have both Gmail and AOL mail. My question is if i set Gmail to pull my AOL mail will Gmail seperate the both ? So on my iphone will the Gmail have a AOL and Gmail folder or are they all in one folder ? Hope this makes sense.

richxps,
The iPhone supports having more than one email account configured at a time, and if you set them up as two different accounts on the iPhone, they will be completely separated.
The iPhone includes presets for both GMail and AOL email.
To setup a second email account go to Settings -> Mail -> Add Account.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.
