Mail with gmail stopped working

About a week ago my computer stopped downloading my mail from gmail. I can send mail, but it won't receive new mail. I tried deleting the gmail account and adding it again, but that didn't work. I also tried switching it to IMAP instead of POP, but that didn't work either. When I control+click the gmail account and select get info, it says there are no new messages on the server, but I know there are about 90.
I've tried repairing permissions and that didn't work.
I have another account for my school mail and it still receives and sends emails perfectly. Only the gmail account is giving me trouble.
Any ideas?

Did you upgrade to 10.5.5 just before it stopped working? In my case, I couldn't SEND mail after upgrading. I had to change the smtp port from default to 465, and then it worked again. My son, who also has a macbook, upgraded to 10.5.5, and is on the same network as I am, had no problem. Strange, right?
Can you try changing the incoming port?

  • Duplicate emails in Mail with gmail

    Hi, I keep getting multiple duplicate emails in my inbox. Even the one's I've deleted keep coming back. They appear across my folders and it's really frustrating as I'm unable to stop it. I've checked the discussions but cannot see an obvious solution (unless I'm looking in the wrong place) other than to disable my POP account in gmail settings, which I've done. Can anyone offer any help please?

  • Gmail stopped working...Now what?

    I am not trying to get a quick answer without reading the forum. I am just trying to figure out what to do without going through trial and error multiple times. I got my iphone a little less than a week ago. I had gmail all set up and now it just stopped working. What is the best way to get it working again?
    I already tried going through the set up process the exact same way I did on the initial set up. Going to "other" and proceeding from there. After reading some of the recent posts, do I now go to "Gmail" and follow the set up from there? At a loss as to what to do.
    I'm windows XP if that matters.
    Much thanks.

    Nah, I use the phrase "sanity check" all the time when talking my customers through things. I meant it as a quick/easy think to check before going off into other troubleshooting directions.
    Here's are two links regaring setup of Gmail accounts on your iPhone (from Google):
    POP -- http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=72454&topic=12810
    IMAP -- http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77702&topic=12814
    I do not know if those will be of any benefit to you as you seem to have already been able to go through the setup process several times. But maybe they'll point out something else.
    I can empathize with you, because just yesterday when I updated to 1.1.3 the first thing I noticed was my Gmail stopped working. (And Allan did try to help me out there too!)

  • Imap gmail stopped working

    my imap gmail stopped working on both my wifes ipad and my iphone sometime this evening 10 july 2013. says cannot connect to imap server and recommends checking settings.  i noticed a similar problem occurred once in 2012.  Is Apple working on this?

    IMAP stopped working on mine as well as two of my employees Macs. Two Google Apps Business accounts and one regular Gmail account. Gmail was down this morning so it might have something to with it. However, accessing mail through the web interface works fine. So something to do with IMAP.

  • The gmail stopped working in the ipad; when i touch the screen nothing happens, other apps are working

    THe gmail stopped working; when i touch the screen nothing happens, cannot use any funtion with gmail, but other apps work normally

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset
    If it is the gmail app you are using, you might also try deleting and reinstalling it. If you are using the built in iOS mail app, you can try deleting and re-adding the gmail account.

  • Mail Server suddenly stopped working

    My mail server has stopped working, and I can't figure out why. This is a brand new MacMini with the latest Maverics Server (preinstalled) that I just setup last month. (We migrated from an Xserve running 10.6.) Up to this point, mail has worked flawlessly.
    This afternoon I used the Server app to create a new user. I then went about setting them up for ssh access and installing a public/private keypair (this is for a git repository). Around the same time, my mail server simply stopped working. As far as I know, no other configuration changes were made.
    When I go into the Mail service in the Server app the status perpetually says "Starting...". The 'postfix status' command says that postfix is not running. I've checked every log and error file, and I can only find three anomolies:
    The SMTP log file reports:
    Feb 11 01:31:06 mail.gloaming.com postfix/postmap[7152]: warning: /Library/Server/Mail/Data/scanner/amavis/local_domains.db: duplicate entry: "mail.gloaming.com"
    This warning has been logged before, several weeks earlier, so I assume it's not a serious problem.
    The other warning is:
    Feb 11 00:10:49 mail.gloaming.com postfix/postfix-script[23141]: warning: not owned by _postfix: /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mta/./guid_device_maps.plist
    Other threads seem to indicate that this warning is benign.
    The only other problem that looks really suspicious (to me) is in the system.log:
    Feb 11 01:22:52 mail.gloaming.com ocspd[4947]: ERROR: unable to get the receiver data from the DB!
    I'm not sure what that means, but it doesn't sound good.
    Some threads point a finger at the virus and junk mail scanners. If I disable all mail filtering, the mail server status will finally change to "Serving mail at mail.gloaming.com". But it isn't. All attempts to get mail from the server are refused.
    (Oh, and I've restarted the server several times.)
    The postconf command tells me that the postfix system isn't accepting outside connections:
    inet_interfaces = loopback-only
    So it would appear that Server is setting this. Any attempt to change it back to "= all" fails, as the server software overwrites it with "= loopback-only" at its first possible opportunity. (Editing the main.cf file and reloading postfix doesn't fix it either.)
    Here's the really strange part. The server just started do this today. I recovered a backup of the main.cf file from yesterday and diffed it with the one that's not working:
    mail:postfix root# diff /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/main.cf /Users/admin/Desktop/main.cf
    675c675
    < inet_interfaces = loopback-only
    > inet_interfaces = all
    682c682
    < smtpd_helo_restrictions = reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname reject_invalid_helo_hostname
    > smtpd_helo_restrictions = reject_invalid_helo_hostname reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname
    692c692
    < mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, mail.gloaming.com
    > mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, mail.gloaming.com, $mydomain
    712d711
    < postscreen_dnsbl_sites = zen.spamhaus.org*2
    As you can see, the Server software has deliberatly started setting inet_interfaces to loopback-only and I can't figure out how to get it to set it back to "all".
    Some of the other threads have suggested "wipe and reinstall", but I've spent three weeks setting up this sever and shipping it to a co-location facility—starting over really isn't an option.
    I'd really just want to know why the Server software is suddently configuring the mail server so it won't receive any mail!

    The mystery continues.
    This morning, I decided to take a fresh look at what's going on by recovering a backup copy of my entire /Library/Server/Mail/Config directory from last month. Looking at the item capture list, it shows that none of the files in my Mail/Config directory have changed since late last month.
    Here are the disturbing changes.
    In Server/Mail/Config/dovecot/dovecot.conf, there is one different line.
    working:
         protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve
    now:
         protocols = lmtp sieve
    So clearly, the server doesn't think we should be running IMAP or POP. Which is probably the root of the problem.
    In Server/Mail/Config/postfix/mail.cf, there are a number of minor/cosmetic differences, but the problematic ones appear to be
    working:
         inet_interfaces = all
         mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, mail.gloaming.com, $mydomain
    now:
         inet_interfaces = loopback-only
         mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, mail.gloaming.com
    Again, this configuration would imply that there are no public mail services.
    Some other odd change occured in the Server/Mail/Config/postfix/main.cf file
    working:
         smtpd     pass  -       -       n       -       -       smtpd
         pickup    fifo  n       -       n       60      1       pickup
              -o content_filter=smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024
    now:
         smtpd     pass  -       -       n       -       -       smtpd
              -o receive_override_options=no_address_mappings
         pickup    fifo  n       -       n       60      1       pickup
              -o content_filter=
    Reading through some other posts, I also found another inexplicable change reported by other users having similar problems. The /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postfix.master.plist suddenly changed.
    working:
        <key>OnDemand</key>
        <false/>
        <key>ProgramArguments</key>
        <array>
            <string>master</string>
            <string>-c</string>
            <string>/Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix</string>
        </array>
    now:
        <key>OnDemand</key>
        <true/>
        <key>ProgramArguments</key>
        <array>
            <string>master</string>
            <string>-c</string>
            <string>/Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix</string>
            <string>-e</string>
            <string>60</string>
        </array>
    The postfix service is now "OnDemand" with a new, and myserious, "-e 60" option added. (I can find no documentation for an -e option in the postfix control tool.)
    Ultimately, I "fixed" the problem by restoring the backup copy of my entire /Library/Server/Mail/Config folder, the /System/Library/LaunchDaemon/org.postfix.master.plist file, and immedately restarting the server. The mail servers started and everything appears to be normal.
    But this whole experience has made me very learly of the Server app. Why did these configuration changes occur? What settings or circumstances caused them to spontaniously change to an, essentually, unusable state? I'm now afriad of making any changes via Server.app for fear it will decide I shouldn't have a working mail server again.
    If anyone has any insights, I'd ver very interested in hearing them.

  • TS3276 My yahoo.co.uk e-mail account has stopped working on my iMac.  Connection doctor states that my connections are OK.  Help.

    My yahoo.co.uk e-mail account has stopped receiving new mail.  I have deleted the account and reinstalled but after receiving a few new e-mails it has stopped working again.   I cannot delete mail and my 'sent' box is empty.   I can access Yahoo mail via the web but would like to continue using Mail.  What setting should I use (my son had a look at the problem and may have altered some specs).   Connection Doctor indicates I am connected OK.  Any suggestions?

    well, everything appears to have resolved itself. Let me put this down in case it is of use to other iphone/gmail types.
    1. apparently I must have had either a lot of different computers/devices accessing gmail at the same time and it locked me out. As sailman says above, what precisely is locked out is a mystery, but in my case it was my pc/outlook, my apple mail 4.1 and my iphone. Web access worked fine
    2. when i ran the https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha command I had to do it on both my pc and my mac and eventually they came back up. The iphone was last, and took at least 24hours
    3. one thing that google doesn't communicate well is that you can sync your contacts and calendar by setting the iphone up via an exchange account, i.e. http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740 . Then you need to set up mail separately by adding it as an "other" type of account - i.e http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=77702

  • Gmail stopped working

    My gmail stopped working on my phone Thursday or Friday, and I didn't realize it until afer work. When I press the "Sync all" button under settings-wireless-accounts and sync and try to sync them. it doesn't work. I've restarted it a hundred times and have tried several things. Help!!

    Hey,
    Sorry to hear your Gmail stopped syncing with your device.  I had this to happen with my Calendar, but fixed it.  Here is what Google recommends:
    Press your device's < Home > button, then press < Menu >.
    Select Settings.
    Select Applications, then Manage applications.
    Select Gmail and then select Clear data. Answer OK when prompted.
    Return to the list of applications by pressing the < Back > button on your device.
    Select Gmail Storage.
    Note: If you don't see 'Gmail Storage,' press < Menu > again, then select Filter > All. On some devices, you won't see 'Gmail Storage.' It is fine to ignore this step if it doesn't apply.
    Select Clear data. Answer OK when prompted.
    Restart your device. Press and hold the < Power > or < End call > button, then select Power off. Press the < Power > or < End call > button to power on.
    Hope this helps you out.

  • Unstable mail with gmail

    Mail is behaving very unreliably with gmail. I don't know if it's a gmail problem or Apple problem. On the other hand, gmail works perfectly with my iPhone, so one could presume it's mail.app. It also seems to have become worse after 10.5.5, but that could be a coincidence. Here is what happens
    Ever so often, mail cannot connect to gmail. It shows the little warning triangle outside the inbox. It seems to happen when coming out of sleep, or changing network (e.g., airport->ethernet). I cannot quit mail either, but has to force quit it. After I then restart it, it will connect well enough to gmail and retrieve my mail.
    Any suggestions?

    It just happened again. This time I did not have to force quit mail, quit worked. However, after I started up again, it insisted on downloading a couple of thousand old messages again. It appears it did not download the complete messages, because it only took a couple of minutes. Some kind of sync? Still, it's continually unstable.
    Anybody have mail and gmail IMAP working smoothly? Any tricks?

  • Reports with prompting stop working when moved from Crystal10 to crystal 11

    Issue:
    We are having trouble with Crystal Reports XI. It appears that the Crystal 10 runtime included the ability to process reports that used prompting. If we run the same report with the Crystal XI runtime, it fails.
    I can send a sample of the report.
    Error Dialog:
    Title: Internet Explorer Script Error
    Error Details:
    An error has occurred in the script on this page

    Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?
    Yes/No
    Our Configuration:
    We use Merge Modules that install Crystal Reports through the browser via a CAB file that we created. It runs a setup executable
    The setup executable project that installs CR XI uses the following Merge Modules:
    CrystalReports11_RDC_Reportengine.msm
    CrystalReports11_RDC_Runtime.msm
    CrystalReports11_HotFix_Merge.msm (This is contrived by us from one of your hot fixes)
    Observation:
    When the install is finished, the folder structure under u2026. Crystalviewers11/prompting do not have any files like they do if we install the development environment.
    Question:
    What do we need to do to correct this situation?
    *why the reports with*
    *prompting stops working when it is moved from a Crystal 10 to Crystal 11*
    *environment.  I believe that it has something to do with Merge Modules*
    *because the files under the prompting folder do not populate with the*
    *merge module like they do with the full install of Crystal Reports.*
    Please help.
    Best Regards,
    Peter Freeman
    Edited by: Vivek Kumar Sharma on May 19, 2009 3:43 PM

    We have JDK 1.6 installed.  The License Merge Module is not related to
    this issue.
    The files under \Program Files\Common Files\Business
    Objects\3.0\crystalreportviewers11\prompting  are not being installed.
    If we copy files, into this folder structure the reports work.
    One of the Business Object's Merge Modules should install the files
    there rather than just an empty folder structure.
    I got was able to figure out how to enter a customer support message.
    They said that they could not support us because we were not on CRXIR2
    (Crystal Reports 11 Release 2).
    I found a download for CRXIR2SP4 (same thing service pack 4).
    I installed it the Merge Module names changed to include a "_5"
    Was:
    CrystalReports11_RDC_Reportengine.msm
    CrystalReports11_RDC_Runtime.msm
    CrystalReports11_HotFix_Merge.msm (This is contrived by us from one of
    your hot fixes)
    Now:
    CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Reportengine.msm
    CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Runtime.msm
    CrystalReports11_5_RDC_License.msm (should have been included)
    *CrystalReports11_HotFix_Merge.msm (not needed anymore)
    I will try to put a installer together with these.  If this work there
    will be some complexity around uninstalling the old one and installing
    the new one.
