My Mail in Yosemite doesn't work!

I am having problem with my Mail in Yosemite OS, hotmail is fine, only gmail has problem. I can receive emails, but i can send mails with gmail. Every time I try to send an email with my gmail in Mail, it tells that "Cannot send message using the server smtp.gmail.com:(my gmail user name)." it also says "The gmail SMTP connection to server smtp.gmail.com failed." 
What should I do? I need to send tons of emails each day, and now i have to write my emails on my iMac, then open it in my iPhone 6 to send emails!

Erik,  I was having the same problem.  this is what I did and it appeared to take care of it.  I must have had an old password in my "send mail server" that was causing my issue.  BTW, I was getting the same error that you mentioned.
1. Open mail and then Open Preferences -> Accounts Information
2. Click on dropdown next to Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) and click "Edit SMTP Server List"
3. Click on "Advanced"
3. Change "User Name" to "[email protected]" and re-enter your password (Password was my problem)
4. Click OK.
The dropdown should no longer say (Offline)

  • Junk mail filter in yosemite doesn't work. i can't find the 'mark as junk' selection or 'remove from previous recipients' which would help to filter out spam.

    junk mail filter in yosemite doesn't work. from the flags, i can't find the 'mark as junk' selection. Formerly clicking on the email address in question would allow one to 'remove from previous recipients' which would help to filter out spam. I've adjusted all the settings under mail preferences, but that is not helping.

    Hello Diane162,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to be able to filter some of the junk mail that you are receiving in Mail. The attached article has a lot of great information on junk mail filtering, including how to mark as junk and adjust the junk filter.

  • After downloading Firefox, my e-mail spell check doesn't work

    for years I had used IE. I recently installed Firefox and now my e-mail spell check doesn't work. The dictionary is loaded but cannot figure out how to resolve this. It still works when using IE, so am assuming it's a Firefox glitch.

    Do you have a dictionary installed and selected?
    * You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
    * Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
    * Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
    You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
    * Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
    You can look here for dictionaries:

  • Mail.app DisableInlineAttachmentViewing doesn't work

    Hi Community,
    in Mavericks 10.9.2 with Mail.app 7.2 the defaults write command to enable the setting DisableInlineAttachmentViewing doesn't work for received emails. In sent emails this command works as expected. Is there another possibility to disable inline attachment viewing for received emails?
    Thx & Bye Tom

    Well, that info seems to be stored in the main mail.plist, I suspect it's corrupted.

  • When Searching for attachments to mail, preview mode doesn't work

    When I am in mail and am composing a new email and I click "Attach" to attach a file, the current folder comes up and shows the preview mode of every file type (i.e. pictures and pdf previews). No problems. However, if I then do a search for something (my name for example) to narrow down my choices of files or images to select, the next search level does not show a preview of the files or images, just a .pdf icon or the .jpeg icon - NO PREVIEW. This is extremely frustrating! I tried on different folders and the same results occurred. Any ideas or is this a bug?

    Hi Pranava,
    I couldn't reproduce this issue, when I create root folder FS0 in "Shared Documents" and start a full crawl, I click the FS0 link from search results page, it will open the FS0 folder as well as folder under FS0.
    Please right-click the FS0 name hyperlink (e.g. mine is http://sp/Shared%20Documents/FS0) and paste in IE browser see if it could be accessed successfully.
    Also test if other Shared Documents have this issue in other site collection or web applications, if not, run a full crawl may do a trick (please reset search index if only full crawl still doesn't work).
    Thanks

  • Mail Inbox only doesn't work.  Any ideas?  And Newstand app remains incomplete with blue bar on the bottom.  Any ideas?

    Only my Mail Inbox doesn't work with iOS5.  Sent, Bulk, Trash, and Draft works fine.  I don't receive new emails, yet if I go to see my mail via Safari/Yahoo/Mail all the new emails are there.  So it is clearly an iOS5 issue.  I did a hard restart holding the On/Off and Home key, I delete the account and reinstalled, i disenabled iCloud and nothing seems to work.  Any other ideas or do I wait for Apple to release 5.01 to fix all the mess they made.

    All seems okay with host, user name and password.  Server port is fine, though my 3G model has has multiple servers and the Wi-Fi version only has one.  I even brought it to an Apple store while traveling in The Netherlands.  They had no other suggestions.

    You need to post more information when you have a question: 'it doesn't work' doesn't really give anyone enough to go on.
    What operating system are you running on your Mac? Is the email visible at http://icloud.com? Did you start a fresh iCloud account or did you migrate a MobileMe one?

  • MAIL 3.5 doesn't work

    I have OSX 10.5.6 and MAIL .5 installed. I have used Mail with the same comcast accounts for years. Suddenly Mail will not receive email and does not give any messages.
    I have had to switch to WINDOWS ENTOURAGE on the same Apple computer, which works flawlessly with the same comcast POP mail accounts and settings.
    I have tried changing settings over and over with no change to the mute software.
    Anyone have the solution?

    nstalling Optional Installs (via the Mac OS X Install DVD)
    1. Locate the Mac OS X Install DVD that came with your computer.
    2. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc into the optical drive.
    3. A Mac OS X Install Disk window appears. Double-click the Optional installs folder.
    4. Double-click on the Optional Installs installer.
    If that doesn't work, Get Pacifist...

    then extract/install Mail from your 10.5.x Install Disk.

  • [Virtual user mail system] guide doesn't work.

    I'm new to setting up a mail server so I consulted with this article [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vi … ail_system]. However this guide doesn't work. I cannot either send or receive mail. I looked into logs and apparently the contents of virtual_alias_maps.cf / virtual_mailbox_domains.cf / virtual_mailbox_maps.cf are not correct. The database postfixadmin created doesn't even have those tables or columns. And I kept getting "Access Denied: postfix_user@localhost (Password:Yes)" something like that. And I'm sure I entered the correct username/password combination. A long time ago I used to follow [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?ti … tfix_Admin] guide for setting up mail server however its content is outdated now. Is there any reliable newbie-friendly mail server guide for archlinux, or any recommendation on how to fix the problem in aboved article? Thanks.

    Don't limit yourself to the Arch wiki - it's useful, but it's not the only resource available to you, and as you have discovered, it is not always current and/or correct.
    All the components you are working with come with their own documentation, that should be your first reference point. Beyond that, look for Postfix tutorials in general i.e. not just for Arch, again bearing in mind that they also may not be current/correct.
    When you have found what you need and completed your setup, you then have the option of Doing The Right Thing by updating/correcting the relevant wiki pages, followed very shortly after by the warm glow known only to those who contribute.

  • Mail.app "From" doesn't work

    I just recently noticed that the "From" field while composing an email doesn't work, and neither does the "Send new mail from" setting in the preferences.
    After doing some tests (by sending emails to other email addresses I own), I realized that although Mail tells me messages were sent from a certain account, in reality all the mail, regardless of what account I choose in "From" and regardless of what mailbox I'm sending the message from, will send all messages from the same account, every time. How do I fix this?

    Well, that info seems to be stored in the main mail.plist, I suspect it's corrupted.

  • Mail search function doesn't work

    Our Mail Search Function no longer works - does anyone have a fix?   the mailboxes have been rebuilt, the envelope files in the library/mail directory have been deleted, and the emails have been re-indexed - still no luck in searching in the mail search feature.  This was never an issure before the upgrade.  Please provide help if you can ~ Thanks!~

    THANKS!  Went thru about 90% of the things listed there.  Am Currently going thru the suggestion of the spotlight rebuild thru the terminal.
    When I looked at the settings as stated here: For server-based accounts (IMAP, Exchange, iCloud, and MobileMe), make sure Mail is set to download entire messages—if it doesn’t, Spotlight can’t index them. Go to Mail -> Preferences, click Accounts, select an account, and click Advanced. Make sure the Keep Copies Of Messages For Offline Viewing pop-up menu says All Messages And Their Attachments.
    This option is not viewable or available in my Mail Preference Advance screen and the "Keep Copies of Messages for Offline Viewing...." was not listed in any of the windows - went thru each one.  This option was was also mentioned under my "help" - but not finable in the preferences....
    Thanks again....

  • Mail opens but doesn't work

    Hi I open mail but i get the spinnig ball and mail doesn't work...
    What can I do??
    Thanx in advanced!!!
    CaBU

    CaBU,
    Has it ever worked? If so, when did this start?
    Hold the Shift key down, while you click on the Mail Icon to launch Mail. This will stop Mail from trying to open any certain mailbox, and if the last one you were viewing has a problem, may let us get to the point of a solution.
    More info, please, including whether you have a POP, IMAP or .mac account?

  • Mail search bar doesn't work

    The title tells it all: the Search feature in Mail doesn't work. I can see dozens of messages to a various people, but the Search feature doesn't find any of them. How can I fix this?

    Niku,
    Highlight the mailbox you want to search on the left, or Inbox for all accounts. Enter a search criteria in the mail search window. At that point a small criteria bar opens just above the column titles and below the toolbar. It's easy to miss. This gives you more granular control of the search, such as "Entire Message, From, To, Subject etc." also "all mailboxes or Inbox".
    If the search still fails, see if Spotlight will find the email. If not, than there is an indexing problem.
    Whoops! I just noticed that I did something wrong, so before I proceed, I want to get your thoughts. What happened is that while using your advanced search method, I created six "Smart" Mailboxes. I don't know anything about "Smart" mailboxes, but before I delete them, I want to be sure that I won't forever lose all the messages now contained in them. In other words, how do I delete the "Smart" mailboxes while keeping all of the messages that are now in them?
