Mail v4.4 not working with Gmail

Hey Guys,
My Mail version does not seem to be working with Gmail. This issue seems to pop up from time to time after browsing the forums.
I've tried going on gmail's website and making sure my mail app is configured correctly, and I've also re-installed my gmail account into the mail program just to be sure all is well.
Can anyone offer any assistance? This is uber-frustrating.......

Update......Somehow Mail sent 1/46 pending messages.....weird.

  • Apple Mail not working with Gmail IMAP

    This is a slight re-working of a post of 27 March as I am being driven nuts having to use web mail.
    I have used Mail with gMail for years. Last week I was abroad and I could only use the web interface as when I logged in from my MacBook via Mail the message pane was fine (and up to date though it did not open by default as usual) but if I opened any message all I got was 'Loading' followed by the spinning beach ball. I tried this for several days and always got the same result and assumed it was an (atypical) result of being abroad.
    When I got home I found I had exactly the same problem on my iMac which was fine before I left home and as with my MB I have to force quit to get out of Mail.
    I then when out and after a restart (not the first since the problem) that my MB was OK - but only briefly. My iMac is still stuffed as far as Mail is concerned.
    Mail itself does not seem completely broken, for instance I can look at Previous recipients, I can send from Mail and it arrives back (but then I can’t open it). I can drag messages to the Bin, but they don’t seem to stay there. Oddly I have sent a lot of mail from the gMail interface today, but none of them show up in Apple Mail, tho earlier days do.
    I do have a lot of messages in sent mail, nearly 6,000, and while I can understand it progressively slowing things down I don’t see that it would cause both machines to fail simultaneously and anyway I don’t want to delete them.
    Any ideas? There are no error messages, Connection Doctor shows me as logged in, and I have not found anything via a Google search or in their discussions.
    Cheers, Colin

    Opps, the * was an OCR error from the screen dump I did not notice.
    plus.net is my ISP, but I don't use them for mail normally but I suspect once-upon-a-time I may have had a problem connecting with gMail's SMTP server, so set that up.
    I'm actually running Mail 3 (I think the latest version for Leopard, incidentally gmail help is only up to v 2).
    Rather than delete the other servers I have set it to only use smtp.gmail, but it still hangs on opening a message pane. Oddly even tho I get the beech ball I can still open prefs.
    I can't help feeling the problem is with Mail itself (tho why on two machines at once is beyond me) as the normal behaviour is always to open with the Message pane, but it opens without a window; almost as soon as I open the Message pane it updates with gmail and deletes any message I have moved on the web side. So, only partly broken, but broken enough to be useless!
    Cheers, Colin

  • Maverick's Mail does not work with Gmail ! it works better with iOS 7

    For info.
    I do know how it's complex to program and more for an OS System.
    Maverick's Mail DOES NOT work proprely with Gmail boxes ? Gmail incoming or outcoming messages are correctly notified on my iPhone 5s with iOS 7. But not on my Macbook Pro retina (end 2012) with Mavericks. One update was suppose to solve the trouble.
    Hope you'll solve the problem as soon as possible. Bur not during the nights. But during your daytimes' work !
    Wish you nice end of year's days.
    And please get my best wishes for 2014. Hope you'll get a lot of these nice little moments of happiness.
    Best regards.

    Have you checked your incoming and outgoing mail server settings?
    If you are using IMAP, it should look something like the following:
    Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
    imap.gmail.com
    Port: 993
    Requires SSL:Yes
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires TLS
    smtp.gmail.com
    Port: 465 or 587
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Requires authentication: Yes
    Use same settings as incoming mail server
    If you are using POP3, it should look something like the following:
    Incoming mail server type: POP3
    Incoming mail (POP3 or IMAP) server: pop.gmail.com. Google Apps users, enter the server name provided, don't add your domain name in these steps.
              Port: 995
    Outgoing e-mail server (SMTP) name: smtp.gmail.com
         Port: 465
    Outgoing server requires authentication: enabled

  • Mail does not work with gmail accounts anymore

    Since yesterday or so, my google mail accounts don't connect anymore. All of them. All other accounts are still working.
    - Connection doctor tells me the standard "couldn't connect, check if its really port 993 blah" thing.
    - I'm on 10.9.5
    - I tried remove one of the accounts under Internet Accounts and "re install" it, which worked partially: Internet Accounts accepted the google password, and added the account. I ticket Emails. It reappeared in Mail, but still with connection issues (and now no emails what-so-ever associated with that account).
    What can I do next?

  • Firefox not working with gmail

    i tried to load gmail, but the standard view does not load, only the basic html version.
    whereas it loads perfectly internet explorer 9 or firefox v4.
    tried reinstalling, clearing cookies etc.. nothing changed.
    even tried "network.http.spdy.enabled" to false as given on http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/928888#answer-339203 but nothing happened.
    got error:

    has gmail stopped supporting firefox new versions? i dont want to switch to chrome? wat can i do?
    am using windows xp sp3

    This is silly (and stupid). Why should I have to go to IE anything? Firefox worked fine with gmail until I went to this new version (16), I went to the beta version and gmail still did not work. I thought you guys were supposed to be unbiased? I should be able to use one program for my mail and my internet and not lose any of my cookies or services. I went to you guys because I was able to use all the services without any problems, now need two services so I can use my mail (no, I am not changing mail services...I like gmail and have a very set and established email address. It would cause a lot of problems trying to get my friends to memorize a new one...we like the one I have now).
    It should not be THAT DIFFICULT to allow access to gmail. Work with each other, you will be amazed at what you can accomplish. Thank you, NukeGeek

  • Apple Mail STILL does NOT sync with GMAIL...even with Mavericks 10.9.2...why?

    Apple MAIL still does not sync well with Gmail.
    I have to close Apple Mail program down, re-load it, select "synchonize all accounts." Then MAYBE it will finally sync up. If not, I do this again and again. Then, randonmly it seems, it finally syncs.
    My iOS devices sync instantly and accurately 100% of the time. When I pull down the inbox to update, it does so almost at once. Accurately.
    WHY does Mavericks APPLE MAIL have so many issues STILL!? Worked fine before Mavericks? Is there a solution?
    Mike

    I'm not sure if you were seriously asking or just looking for a place to vent, but I've read a lot about this topic and so I'll give a brief reply.
    Unfortunately, I've not seen a solution to this problem. Many people have had success with various "voodoo" solutions (re-starting or some variant) but there's really been no reliable, consistent answer to this problem. Most people seem to think that syncing was improved (but was not completely fixed) with the 10.9.2 update. The only "solution" I've seen is to move off of GMail.
    As to WHY this is happening, well, again I've not seen anybody diagnose the problem in any scientific way, but the consensus seems to be that this problem started because Apple modified the way the Mail program stored and indexed a GMail account. Many people (including you) say "it worked fine before" and yes perhaps it did, but there was a big problem lurking.
    As you might know, Google moved off the mail standard when they created their mail system. Now, this is a rant for another post, but IMO by doing that they should have provided code for 3rd-party mail clients to use their new mail system properly. But of course that would defeat any competitive advantage their own client had, so instead all they did was support an IMAP interface.
    The problem is that when an email arrives at your GMail account, it is in your Inbox and also in the "All Mail" folder. This is not in concert with IMAP protocol where a message is only in one folder. So a naive IMAP email client downloads such a message twice. If a message happens to be in a several folders (tags in GMail-speak), an IMAP client downloads it several times. It might have looked like it was "working fine" to you, but for people who have many gigabytes of mail, this duplication is a big problem.
    Likewise, if you search for an email, an unaware IMAP client will find it in multiple folders, and report back each copy. Anyway, you get the idea. Apple tried to improve their Mail client to support this, and unfortunately they have a big bug. Well, I say "big" because it really annoys me. Apparently it must be not be affecting a large percentage of Mavericks users or else they would have fixed it by now. Even more annoying, there's no "switch" to get Mail to act like a dumb IMAP client again. It appears to detect that it is talking to GMail and this new system kicks in automatically. (Perhaps this could be tricked by using some kind of proxy?)
    So why is this not happening on iOS? Well, again, nobody knows for sure (and Apple isn't saying), but the theory is that they didn't implement this complex scheme on iOS (yet). Maybe they were first testing it out on Mavericks, or perhaps they didn't think it was worth the trouble because on iOS the Mail caches are typically much smaller. On a desktop machine, usually there is a copy of all your IMAP mail sitting on the disk. On a mobile device, only a few messages are kept around at any time.
    Sorry I don't have more info to give at this time. Good luck.

  • Apple Mail Still Will Not Work with Verizon

    Greetings to All:
    Sunday, March 24, 2013
    I've been trying to get Apple Mail to work with Verizon email for some years without success. I read the boards and find that this is not an uncommon problem. I received the new server settings for Verizon email today and eagerly plugged them in thinking this would solve my problems with receiving Verizon email, but, alas, it did not. Microsoft Outlook does a dandy job of pulling in Verizon email, but Apple Mail cannot. It's ridiculous that I should have to jump over to another email app to open one email account. All of the settings have been checked and double checked and the machine rebooted as the instructions mandate. 
    I don't understand what the problem is with Apple Mail and Verizon email. Apple Mail pulls in just about every other email service without flaw. Does anybody out there have any insight into this?
    -Dr. John

    I am beyond frustrated with this issue.  I've just spent 90 minutes on the phone with verizon support and it couldn't be fixed.  I was told to call Apple.  HAH!  "Please call during normal business hours."  Would anyone know what they are???!
    I did NOT have trouble until I changed the servers, per Verizon's request. I am so happy I didn't futz aroudn with my iPad.

  • New Lightroom 4 mail feature does not work with Hotmail

    Hi,
    I have tested the new mail feature today.  Unfortunatelly, it does not work well with my hotmail account. 
    The mail is send by lightroom and received in my hotmail mailbox, but the photo is not visible.  The tekst in the messages is readable, but instead of the downloaded photoI only see a red cross.
    Anyone an idea what the reason is ?
    thanks
    Rudy

    Hi Stone Pan,
    Thanks for answering. 
    I do not see any error message and the received mail contains a correct text message, only the picture is not visible in the mail.  I tried to send a Photo with the email preset on small and normal but without success.
    Kind regards,
    Rudy
    Edit :
    I have tried to send a photo to the hotmail email adress of a friend and it works, text and photo are visible.  Conclusion is that the reason for not showing the photo is not a Lightroom 4 problem.  The reason should be something on my own computer, any suggestions are welcome.

  • E75 & Nokia Messaging not working with Gmail prope...

    Hi there,
    I'm having problems in getting my new E75 to function with Gmail (I'm using Gmail via IMAP, custom domain and Google Apps) and I'm, therefore, here in order to search some help from more tech-savvy users. The most annoying problem I'm having at the moment is that E75 creates duplicate messages in "sent mail" -folder in Gmail when sending mail from it. I would also be delighted if I could delete messages using my phone so that msges would be moved to Gmail's trash folder instead of "All Mail" -folde. Any advice in getting these functionalities? Thank You!  
    All in all, I would like to be able to configure E75 mail client to function like a "normal" IMAP client.  

    Maddmaxx is correct, check this article for more information: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=78755
    A workaround to delete emails from Gmail is to go into Google Labs, enable Advanced IMAP Controls, go to Forwarding and POP/IMAP and switch When a message is expunged from the last visible IMAP folder: to either Move the message to the Trash or Immediately delete the message forever depending on your preference.
    We're working on this. 

  • Mail conversation view not working with Listserv

    Hello,
        For the most part the conversation view in Apple Mail works great.  The one place it does not work is for a listserv I am part of.  I get a lot of emails form this group, they all come from the same address, so it is the same address in the To: field, the From: field is different for each message.  I expected all the messages to be grouped by the same subject line but they are not.  Other emails that I get that are NOT from a listserv group perfectly, so I feel it has to be something specific to getting emails from a listserv. 

    Update......Somehow Mail sent 1/46 pending messages.....weird.

  • WLDF email notification does not work with gmail, right? (eg. WLS 12.1.2)

    Hi there,
    This is for the experts: gmail requires authentication which cannot be provided (anymore I should say, it seems it was possible in earlier versions of java mail) by setting java mail properties.
    All working java mail examples using a java mail session configured in WLS are programmatically setting the password.
    can sb. confirm this?
    Would be 2 extra fields in the admin console and some 3 lines of code to implement it for Oracle.
    thanks for your input &
    kind regards

  • Why is mail not working with gmail?

    And not for nothin', it doesn't seem to be working at all as it used to.
    Nearly every morning I come down and see the message that Mail has crashed... again.
    I am beginning to really, really regret installing Mavericks and wish I could go back... but now important documents have been upgraded to the new Pages and Keynote so I'm stuck.
    So... I'm discovering that my iPad and my MacAir are the only machines that will load my gmail. My iPhone won't and my iMac won't.
    I have no confidence that things are synching across all Apple products.
    I believe I have done all the updates.
    This is not the standard we have relied on in the past (and I've been an Apple person since the Apple II).
    Please help us...
    I probably wouldn't even be using Gmail if Apple had not discontinued iDisk forcing me to go somewhere else for cloud storage. Still mourning that move.
    RO

    Sorry -- the fact is that there doesn't seem to be any logic to what is happening -- or rather not happening.
    There are two issues and I don't know if they are related or not.
    GMAIL and MAIL:
    Works on my MacAir but NOT on my iMac. Both have OSX 10.9 with most recent updates.
    Works on my iPad with exactly the same account configuration as my iPhone... where it doesn't work.
    MAIL in general on my iMac:
    From day one with Mavericks, Mail refuses to remember my iCloud login information.
    It remembers my university's email config (@rwu.edu)
    Nothing shows up under Gmail at all but it doesn't give me the Lightning symbol to tell me there's a problem.
    Just about every morning I come back to my computer and there's an application crashed dialog box that tells me Mail unexpectedly quit and do I want to REOPEN. And when I do, I have to log in for my iCloud Mail to show up.
    I assume that crash reports are automatically going to Apple... I don't get the option to send it to you.
    Thanks in advance.
    Addendum: I hesitate to delete the Gmail account from anywhere in case the result is that I will lose my ability to read  Gmail on the two appliances where it is all working. That, and the fact that it is the end of the semester and I have 100 students emailing me everyday about last minute things and final exams. NOT the time to delete ANYTHING. But I might try next week...

  • Mac mail not working with gmail 2 step verification in yosemite

    Every couple of days my 2 step verification seems to drop off the mac mail (and calendar) radar. Ive been using mac mail with 2 step verification (gmail account) for about 8 months, no problems. About 1 month ago my mac started asking for my gmail password. I have revoked and regenerated my password about 6 times recently to try to overcome this issue. The new password works for a couple of days and then mail and calendar start asking from my password again.

    Not quite a reply, but I'm not sure how best to add to my first comment.
    One of the issues with this (and there are multiple) is that I can't use handoff to work on something on my mac, started on my ipad, if it is working through my gmail account eg notes, calendar, email.
    This bug is totally crippling the productivity and flexibility that came with ios8/yosemite developments.
