Mail program will not download any Gmail messages

Hi,
I have 5 email accounts set up through my mac Mail program. 2 are Gmail and I have not been able to download any messages since Saturday. All 3 other accounts send and receive fine. I was able to send messages from both gmail accounts.
My iPhone is picking up mail from both accounts. I've checked my Gmail settings and they seem to be correct.
Any ideas?

Hi Jenna,
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

Outlook closes and will not download a particular message.How can i get that message to stop coming to my inbox?

Hi,
May I ask your intention by doing this? Is the particular message harmful to your computer?
Which type of email account are you using? If you want to prevent a particular message from being downloaded to Outlook, we can login to the web interface of your email account and then remove the particular email from your Inbox.
If I've misunderstood something, please feel free to let me know.

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

I am now able to receive emails in MAIL, but Yosemite's Mail program does not recognize any of the server's connections that have worked for years! What do I do next?

Yesterday, I was unable to receive emails from Google but was able to receive them from another server - but then receiving them began to work again - but now I am unable to send any mail - Yosemite's Mail program does not recognize any of the server's connections that have worked for years, ! What do I do next?

My macbook will not download any apps from the app store. I don't know how to fix it, help?

My macbook will not download any apps from the app store. im running on mac os x 10.6.8. I don't know how to fix it, help?

Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
That will re download and install the App Store for you which may help.
It's ok to install the combo even though you are already running v10.6.8
Restart your Mac after combo is installed, try downloading apps.
Note... if you have Little Snitch installed that will prevent downloads. If you have anti virus software installed, disable that and turn off the Firewall in System Prefereces > Security.

For the last 10 days I have been unable to open the Mail account on my eMac (MacOS10.4.11). When I click on the icon in the Dock the only option I get is "Force quit" and the main Mail bar will not open any choice. Any ideas?

You can setup Mail for iCloud on the eMac.
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password

New Mail program will not let me drag groups from address book to email

The new Mail program will not allow me to drag groups of addresses from the Address Book like I could before upgrading. Is there a setting somewhere I am missing? What is the fix on this problem?

I can live with clicking TO: but I don't know why you cannot drag it like you used to ...

Drag the Word icon back to where it belongs.
Applications > Microsoft Office 2011 > Put Word there.
I'm assuming you have Office 2011. If you have 2008 there should be a similar location to put Word.

My (postage stamp icon) mail program will not send outgoing mail - only receives, what's up with that?

My (postage stamp icon) mail program will not send outgoing mail - only receives mail.
Says the outgoing mail server is wrong, but Comcast says it's right - what's up with that?
Is there a way to reload the standard (postage stamp icon) mail program?

Clearly there's something wrong with the configuration. Reverting to some other mail application (whatever the 'standard' one is...) won't help.
What does the Connection Doctor (Mail -> Window -> Connection Doctor) have to say about it?
Chances are your username/password for your SMTP server are incorrect.

My I phone has plenty of storage but will not download any apps free or paid for when I press install the installation symbol appears briefly and then the page reverts to the original form with the price or free on the right hand side.

Good luck.

TS3274 my ipad will not download any apps and if I press some apps I already have (ibooks or itunes) I get a blank screen

my ipad will not download any apps and if I press some apps I already have I just get a blank screen

Try and closing the app (app store in this case) and switch it back on and then download. If it still doesn't work, then give the IPad a rest and try again later.

I purchased Lightroom 3, 2 years ago. My computer was 64 bit, just bought a 32 bit, this 64 bit program will not download onto my new 32 bit computer. What to do?

I purchased Lightroom 3, 2 years ago. My computer was 64 bit, just bought a 32 bit, this 64 bit program will not download onto my new 32 bit computer. What to do?

There should be a 32-bit installer as well. It should be part of whatever installer package you have. I don't know if you are aware, but when Lightroom 6 is released there will be no 32-bit support for Windows or the Mac. But then, if you are still using Lightroom 3 that probably doesn't matter to you.

Mail program will not stay open. Will you help me?

I am running an iMac w/ 10.2.8 OS.
My Mail program will open for only about two seconds, and then I get an error message---"The application Mail has unexpectedly quit."
I've run my Norton Anti Virus program; I've run my Disk Utility to update premissions; I've run a speed disk through Norton. Everything is working fine.
In reviewing the discussions, in this chat room, with similar problems I came across a solution, to a simlar problem as mine, where the advice was to copy the mail folder to the desktop. Then pull "library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist" to the desktop. My folder doesn't contain this file. Could this be a solution?
Thanks in advance for your time and assitance.

You're welcome.
What you're saying doesn't make sense. The Mail folder is a folder like any other. It doesn't make sense that it "will only open for about two seconds". And it doesn't make sense either that com.apple.mail.plist is in the Mail folder instead of in ~/Library/Preferences/.
Tell me which other files do you see in the folder where you've found com.apple.mail.plist. You don't have to type them all here, just a few to let me get an idea of what are you talking about. You can also avoid having to manually type the name of those files altogether by doing Edit > Copy (⌘C) in the Finder, and paste that in your reply to this post.

Various product updates [e.g., lenovo & other programs] will not download

some downloads from various programs, e.g., lenovo:
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/thinkvantage_en/rnroem30webupdate042.exe, will not download.
sometimes the word "Cancel" appears adjacent to the download title.

I'm having a similar problem of not being able to sync any music or movies. I get an error saying, "The iPhone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start." The funny thing is, there are place-holders with small spinning sync icones for all my music that are greyed out when I click on my iPhone in iTunes.
I'm gonna back up as much stuff as I can then do a complete reload.

Apple Mail program will not delete messages

I have a new MacBook Pro Retina. In the Apple Mail program, I am having trouble deleting some messages from my work email (uses Microsoft Exchange). When I login online to my email account, I see certain messages are deleted. On my MacBook, however, they still show up in my inbox. When I delete them, or right click and move to trash, an error message pops up that says they cannot be moved to trash. This is odd, because on the server they appear already to be in the trash.
I have tried restarting, closing and opening Mail, etc. By the way, my older work computer on which I also access the account via Apple Mail works seemlessly.
Ideas?

Ah Hah! Though I tried searching for a similar thread, I could not find one until I posted the message and the "More Like This" box on the right led me to similar issues.
I did end up highlighting the box, and going to "Mailbox" -> "Rebuild" which fixed the problem. I hope it does not occur again.
