Mail Won't retrieve my emails from gmail via POP

I configured everything for POP routing with my gmail account about a month ago. I know I did everything right because it worked for quite some time. About 2 days ago after I had to force quit mail it stopped fetching my mail. Everytime I hit get mail, or load the program it just shows the busy signal for a while next to my inbox and then doesn't bring anything. if i log into my google mail account, often times, there is new mail there that should have been forwarded. I got affirmative replies from the connection doctor saying it was able to connect and I double checked that all of my settings were correct. I also verifed that google mail was enabled for POP usage. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be? Thanks is advance for the help.

Kurius,
Your problem is clearly not the same as the one being discussed here. The only thing in common is that a Gmail account is involved. Make sure you’re setting up your Gmail account as described here:

If the problem persists, please start a new topic to properly discuss it in its own thread.

Apple mail won't stop deleting messages from Gmail server

Hello everyone:
For a long time I had my mail set up to delete messages from the gmail server, but recently I changed my mind. I tried changing the settings to remove copy after a month and nothing happened, i.e. immediately deleted messages from server. Now I've tried changing it to never remove a copy and it is still doing it. What am I missing?

I should say: it does leave a copy in "all mail" but deletes it from the inbox section so they are unavailable on my iPhone as soon as my laptop grabs it....

Download only some selected emails from gmail

For a 3 week period I have used a different machine with Thunderbird set up to read my mail as I normally use. When I went back to my usual machine I tried importing my mail database, however something went wrong. I only have my old emails, but nothing from what I received over the 3 weeks.
Thunderbird continues to sync new emails with gmail via POP, but those 3 weeks are missing and not being downloaded. Is it possible to download specific emails without downloading all my emails all over again (and sorting them out in my inbox, again)?

You already asked this question, so I'm not sure why you asked it again.
Please keep all responses in one question so that the continuity is not lost. Hopefully the instructions I put in other question will resolve the situation,

Mail won't retrieve Gmail messages

Since yesterday afternoon, Mail won't retrieve any of my email messages. It sends my messages from both my accounts, including my Gmail account, but stays a long time "preparing to retrieve" only my Gmail messages, until the activity closes as if there were no messages to retrieve (no retrieve or connection error messages or sounds) although they are still in my gmail.
I haven't changed any settings at all. I use OS X 10.7.5. Connection doctor says everything "succeeded"
Thanks for any help

Step 1
Take this step only if you have more than one incoming mail account, and only some of them are affected by the problem.
From the Mail menu bar, select
Mail ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts
From the account list on the left, choose one of the accounts that is not giving trouble. Select the Account Information tab if not already selected, and then uncheck the box marked
Enable this account
Repeat with each of the other well-behaved accounts. Don't disable the problem accounts.
Step 2
From the Mail menu bar, select
Window ▹ Connection Doctor
Click the Show Detail button. A drawer opens. Click Check Again and post the text that appears. Anonymize any personal information before posting.
Step 3
If you took Step 1, re-enable the disabled accounts.

Mail won't retrieve Junk from Hotmail

Hello, I recently began using Mail on my iBook to retrieve my hotmail account. Everything works great except for the junk mailbox in the hotmail account. Mail won't retrieve any of these messages. I have to log back into hotmail and place the junk into my inbox, which Mail receives fine. In checking settings on both accounts I don't find anything which obviously prevents the junk in hotmail from being sent to the junk box in Mail. Is there a workaround or a setting that I don't have correct? I searched for this problem but haven't seen it mentioned before.
Thanks.

Not many helpers look into Solved topics for people needing help.
It's quite acceptable, even preferable to start a new topic of your own, it will get more individualized attention, and many more helpers!

Why mail can't receive email from gmail today, but yesterday was fine and yahoo is fine.

why mail can't receive email from gmail today, but yesterday was fine and yahoo is fine.

It's a risk if you're using POP3 mail. You can archive mailboxes to another location for safe keeping.
Or, just try adding new versions of the accounts without deleting the old ones (you can have duplicates, name them different so that you can tell them apart). If the new ones work, then you can just drag the mail folders from the old to the new and then delete the old.

How to re-read email from Gmail?

Guys another question from me.
I have 2 account, Yahoo and Gmail. I access the 2 of them with a JavaMail application.
my question is:
1. Why Gmail's POP3 protocol can't retrieve my newest message, e.g the one with today's date. I've set it to download all message from the inbox, but from what i read, It download the latest messages only from the ones dated back to 2006. Here's my sample code:
Folder folder = reader.getFolder();
result = folder.getMessages();
//Read Through Email
System.out.println(result.length);
for(int i =result.length-1;i>=0;i--)
String subject = result.getSubject();
Date tgls = result[i].getSentDate();
System.out.println(subject+ " Send Date: " + tgls);
2. Why can't i Redownload an email from Gmail account? How to prevent it? is the FetchProfile class has anything to do with it? Yahoo can do it for sure without it. So i wonder, how to do it with Gmail (or others with the same POP3 behaviour)?
3. If i really need FetchProfile for Gmail, is Yahoo! (or other email provider) can use it too?
4. Can somebody explain to me what is the FetchProfile for?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah I've checked it, changed it to the first option - " Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)"
And still it can't re-download the downloaded once.
Well I've got my reason for this, it's because my program does something like this:
1. Fetch the message
2. Take all the message except attachment, insert it into a new class called LightMessage that represent a structure like Messages but without Folder or Session pointer in it.
3. We as user review it.
4. If desired, we'll call the receiver again to search with MessageNumberTerm that was taken from the first Pop3 fetch to take the attachment.
But that was resulting in error i've posted, saying that the message array is empty though the message is still in the inbox.
Should I just download all the Message info and then just take the attachment from the downloaded ones? Thanks in advance.

After upgrading to Yosemite, I don't receive email from Gmail users

Using a MacBook Pro, 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD internal hard drive. OSX v10.10.2
My primary email address is an .mac/.me/.icloud email address.
Recently upgraded to Yosemite. After doing so, I am having trouble receiving emails from Gmail users (I am not having trouble sending emails from my Gmail account, as many people have).
I asked 8 of my friends with Gmail email addresses to email me a test. I received 4 of these emails immediately after they were sent, the other 4 email took anywhere from 4 to 48 hours for me to receive.
Anyone else have this problem, and if so, any solutions? Any help is greatly appreciated.

There have been various posts about delayed Gmail e-mail delivery to iCloud e-mail addresses, but so far, no solutions. Gmail uses a nonstandard form of IMAP e-mails, which may be causing the problem.

Can't get emails from gmail

Hi,
I'm using Exim and Dovecot as email servers.
Recently, I've got complaints, that the server is not getting emails from Gmail.
I've made a few tests and found that all emails that coming from Gmail are blocked somewhere.(only from Gmail)
I must say, that the problem is only to receive email from Gmail, there's no problem sending to Gmail.
Here's the error code that Gmail returned to the sender:

we can receiving email from yahoo, hotmail, aol or other mail server But, just gmail account we can not receive email. plz help us, how can i do.
Thanks

Hi Beigi,
According to your description, I understand that Exchange cannot received the message from Gmail, however others works well.
Great checklist from Hotaka.
Additional, I want to double confirm whether any other antivirus and protection software in your environment, also the
Anti-Spam
or
Transport rule settings, for example sensitive words, IP block list and attachment filter, so that the message from external trigger constraints and be rejected. Meanwhile, please double check in OWA.
Besides, please use message tracking log to get more details for this issue. It’s more helpful to narrow down the problem, for your reference:

Deleting emails from Gmail does not delete them from BB

HI,
Just bought a brand new BB 8830 World Edition and using Gmail. Deleting emails from the BB works just fine and Gmail is being updated. But deleting emails from Gmail does not delete the corresponding email from the BB.
On the BB, there is an option "Mailbox and Handheld" that works just fine but there is no such thing on the Gmail options.
Is this a bug or a normal way of doing things? It would be quite abnormal to having to manually delete your emails on the BB that have already been deleted on Gmail; it's just deleting twice the same email.
I would be grateful to anyone who can provide an answer.
Regards.
Springtime.

You can delete mails from your handheld as well as from Gmail server which I guess solve the issue for you. To be able to do so check the following options -
Messages
Options
Email Reconciliation
Deelete On: Mailbox & handheld
In place of Mailbox & handheld you also select Deelete On: Prompt. This is will give prompt wheneve you'll delete any mail and give you options what to do.

Seems like a permissions error to me... maybe check the actual file it is attempting to scan... I know it is in your home folder, but just to be sure, you might want to check that everything is sane.

Macbook 10.9.2 will not get new email from gmail

I believe I have found a solution to this problem of OS10.9.2 not being able to get my new email from gmail.
Go into Mail Preferences>accounts and select your problem account. Go down to "Outgoing mail server" and select the box "use only this server."
At first I didn't believe this would solve my problem because it's "outgoing" BUT it worked. My new messages instantly began loading. I quit mail and later opened it to see if I would instantly get new messages and it worked.
I was desperate and willing to try anything. Try it. You'll like it.

This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto qualify for a free upgrade to 9.5.1 and which require a purchase;

1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
open the Terminal application.
copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
followed by Enter.
launch App Store, login.
