Mail won't sync with gmail

Mail app won't sync with my gmail account. I've tried deleting my gmail account and setting it up again, but am getting an error message that my user name or password is incorrect. My iPhone Mail app isn't syncing with gmail either - same error message. I can get into gmail through Safari. I sure would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks.

that's a different issue. you said before that it didn't like the password. what it actually doesn't like is the number of simultaneous connections. quit Mail on all other computers/phones you use to access gmail and try setting it up in Mail on this computer again.

Notes Application on Mountain Lion Won't Sync with Gmail

Within the past few weeks the new Notes application won't sync with my gmail account. I used to be able to type a note in Notes, and it would appear under the label "notes" as an email type memo in Gmail. All of the sudden this stopped working. Same with the Mail app, I can't sync IMAP with my Gmail accounts. This just started happening a few weeks ago.

My mail won't sync with microsoft exchange account

Macbook pro 10.8.1
I have my Mail setup to sync with a Microsft Exchange Account. All syncs between my exchange account, my iPad and iPhone. However on my laptop, old messaged that I deleted ages ago are still there. I get new mail, so I know that it is syncing at some level. When I try to delete the old messages, it tells me I cannot delete them....they are like a lingering shadow that is annoying as there are about 20 of them!

Add it as an Outlook account, but still use your full email adress as a hotmail address.

Mail won't synch with Gmail IMAP

Same problem as so many other loyal Mac users on these forums...
New Macbook Pro 2013 running Mavericks 10.9.1 and Mail 7.1 (1827).
It's been synching fine with Gmail IMAP for months. Then two days ago, was no longer to synch incoming mail. I can still send Gmail fine. just won't receive new mail.
Yes, I checked my settings. They're fine.
I've spent hours on these forums looking up and trying the various home remedies: Repair Permissions, Take All Mail Offline/Online, Uncheck SHow All Mail Imap, nothing works.
Can we just get the %&*%&$ Mail to WORK?
What else can I do?

Mac Mail stopped synching my inbound GMail last evening. Was working fine for several months on 10.9.x. Non-GMail accounts worked okay. Connection Doctor was all green. Restarted Mail and the laptop a few times. Tried Safe Mode, repaired permissions and system disk.
There's a link to Google support at the bottom of the Mail > Preferences > Accounts window so I clicked it, poked around and found this troubleshooting suggestion on the Known Issues page a few minutes ago (link is below):
IMAP client stopped syncing mail from the server
If you are experiencing problems with your IMAP client, try changing the visibility of “All mail” and “Drafts” labels from the (GMail web) settings:
Click the gear icon in the upper-right and select Gmail settings on the top of any Gmail page.
Select the Labels tab.
Ensure that the "Show in IMAP" checkbox is selected for both "All mail" and "Drafts".
Neither of these were checked as I didn't want "All mail" sent down to my Mac. But changing these settings caused unsynced mail to be delivered. Permanent fix? Who knows? Thought I'd mention it though.

Ical won't sync with gmail account

I'm trying to set up my wife's iCal to sync with her gmail calender. We both just got brand new macbook pros and mine had no problems sync my mail, calendar, chat and address book.
Yet when she tries to sync her computer with her gmail account it will only work with mail and address book and chat. When it tries to sync her calendar with iCal it says that "A secure connection couldn't be established" and won't sync her calendar at all.
Anyone have a solution?

This has been an issue for people since 2010. Why is it still here?

Mail won't sync with icloud.

I have an iphone 4 32gb, Win 7 x64, itunes 11.02.26, ios 6.1.2, and Outlook 2010. Recently had to do a complete Windows reinstall from scratch, but everything was backed up and is up and running normally again.
The iTunes info tab for my iphone says that my contacts, calenders, tasks are being synced with my iphone over the air with icloud. The mail is not. Previously it was. The icloud control panel only says the 'contacts, calenders and tasks with outlook' being synced, but mail is not listed. Clicking on the message only unchecks the tickbox.
MS Outlook has my @me.com account installed and working and 3 other email accounts, and the icloud refresh button on the toolbar is working ok. The same mail accounts are installed on the iphone and work ok. My phone and Outlook can each access all my mail accounts seperately without a problem. At present I have left the mail tickbox unchecked on the itunes info page for my iphone. (I dont want to mess up the information on either unless I have to). There are no checkboxes for the contacts, calenders or tasks as they are using icloud. Under 'settings/general/icloud' on my iphone, Mail and calenders are both selected to ON.
When I try to log into icloud.com, I get a message that 'icloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server', but the system status check shows no problem.
How do I get my mail to sync between outlook and icloud the same as calenders, contacts, tasks and bookmarks?

If I understand what you are saying, iCloud seems like its over-hyped and is pretty useless for Mail and Calendar. It makes no sense to me to have Calendar and Mail available on iCloud if it doesn't show the same Calendar and Mail that is on your iMac and iPad.
Yes, my Calendar syncs with Google as well as on the iPad and iMac. Why shouldn't it also sync with iCloud?
Because it's a Google Service not an iCloud service, you can still sync it to your Mac and your devices, just not using iCloud.

Calendar and Mail won't sync with iCloud.

They synchronize fine between iMac and iPad. Contacts, Notes and Reminders are the only categories that do sync with iCloud on my iMac. I am running the latest Mountain Lion upgrade.

After I open an email on my MacBook air and view it it stays as new on my iPod after I open the mail app there. But if I view it on my ipod first than any action will sync with the mail app on my MacBook. How do I get it to sync both ways?

What does i couldn't play it anymore mean?

Does it give an error playing the song`?

Leopard mail will not sync with gmail

I just got the new imac and have been using tiger on my former mac mini. When i set up the mac mail client on my imac it only pulled in the emails I had received in the past week from gmail instead of all of them like I needed it to. Is there a setting I need to activate for the mail client to pull in all messages, I can't keep logging into gmail when I need to reply to an old email.

Several people have reported issues with GMAIL. I would first re-create my gmail configuration from scratch, and cross my fingers.
I have had not issues on any of my machines.

Mac Mail won't sync with 2nd Gmail account

I'm using Mac Mail (ver 6.6) on OSX 10.8.5 on my Macbook Pro.
I have my Mac Mail set up to fetch mail from multiple email accounts through IMAP. One of these is my old trusted personal gmail account, and it has been working fine for 2 years. However, yesterday, I added a new email account called "d-ourovino", which is for a business. The "dourovino" account is hosted at gmail as well. It is now working and syncing fine. But since I've added "dourovino", my old personal gmail account has stopped syncing, even though I didn't change any of its settings. What is going on? I'm at a total loss. Any suggestions?
See screenshot below...

This unlocking of the CAPTCHA also got my gmail to work. I think, just by noticing how gmail works, that if you make too many sign in requests within a certain amount of time---they load the CAPTCHA process to make sure you're a real person and not a computer. Since I was signing off and on repeatedly trying to figure out why it wouldn't take what I KNEW to be the password---turning off the CAPTCHA function just let gmail take your user name and password and log in. YEAH FOR THE HELP!!

Mail won't sync with my .mac account - won't accept password

I have a MacBook running the OS X 10.6.8. Recently I have found that I cannot sync my Mail with my .mac account. I can log on through the internet to iCloud and read emails (I know my password is valid), but when I try to get them synced to my Mail account it won't accept the password. It looks like this may be a conflict with Mail not being updated to iCloud, but I am unsure. I have not found an update that will update the Mail to link with iCloud. My computer is also not new enough to update to the new Lion OS. Am I stuck? This has been very discouraging and I have been wasting hours of valuable time trying to figure out how to fix this.

Did you turn on iCloud Drive by any chance? If so, then until Yosemite comes out, you won't be able to sync your documents and data to your Mac:

Apple mail does not sync with gMail

Today my Apple Mail no longer provides me with my gMail in the inbox.
I can send mail to my gMail address and it shows in the Sent box ...but it never makes it to my Inbox.
If I log directly into Google Mail the email message is there.
This has always worked before.
Also, just now I downloaded and installed the Apple update for Mail ...which said it fixes some gMail account issues ..but I still have the problem.

Hi guys
I'm stuck here having exactly the same problem. The funny thing is, it all started since that Mail for Mavericks update, 1.0 which I installed yesterday, which irronically stated it should solve some instability problems (that I was not experincing at all) and made things go completely wrong. I tried to delete and add the account again, and it is not making things better. The weird thing is that I can see the content of some folders, such as deleted items, and inconsistent as it is, it might not display it anymore after I try to go back to this folder. For example, I thought I solved the problem this afternoon, after I had deleted the account and added it for the third time, and let my computer sit there for a while and sync. When I returned to my Mac after an hour, I was under the impression that it synced my inbox correctly, but then when I clicked on another folder to see what's inside and got back to inbox afterwards, it was completely empty again. Mail is just very unstable and the problems are increddibly inconsistent. I think I am now going to try to add the account manually. I will let you know what happens.

Mail won't sync with iMac

I am using and iPad, iPhone and an iMac - my mail account is a msn account and iCloud seems to sync perfectly between the iPad and iPhone but not the iMac - i have checked all the settings and they are all swithced on for using iCloud but it just wont work - any suggestions would be very welcome

On a Mac MSN defaults to POP access, POP systems don't sync, you should change your account type from POP to Imap, and then it will sync.
You MUST backup your existing email before you do this, when you have done that you can delete the existing POP account and re-enter it as an Imap account.
