My Yosemite POP account with Gmail and Apple Mail is gone

I just noticed in the last few days that my Apple Mail Gmail account has changed from POP to iMap without my intervention. It no longer has the drop-down box to choose one or the other. I want to keep my Apple Mail as a POP account, but I can no longer change it. Is this possible? If so, what do I do. FYI, on my iOS devices I use iMap accounts for my gmail mail. Thanks!

You can try reconfiguring the account as POP. Delete the account, then add it back. After filling in the 1st screen, hold down the option/alt key while clicking Continue. Fill in the necessary information, then click continue until all screens are filled in.

Simulate gmail archive behavior with iCloud and apple mail (lion)

does anyone know of a way to configure an iCloud mail account in apple mail (lion) such that the delete button actually archives email? i'd like to simulate the behavior of a gmail account in apple mail, which does just that, i.e. delete sends messages to the "All Mail" folder. in this case, i'd like it to send emails to the "Archive" folder. as i have one gmail account and one iCloud account, it would be great if there was one consistent means of archiving mail, versus using the ctrl-cmd-A shortcut for iCloud mail.
iOS 5 actually has such a setting to do just that: "Archive Messages" under the iCloud mail settings. so it seems strange to me that apple mail would not.
thanks!

Actually, Apple has always supported using custom folders in iMap for Deleted Messages, Drafts, Sent, & Junk. But I agree that with the release of 10.7.2 and iCloud with their new Archive feature, they haven't made it easy!
I run my Mac in Swedish, so forgive me if I don't remember or get the exact wording of each option 100% correct, but I'm sure you'll figure it:
In Mail Settings under your iCloud account, and in the middle tab (Mail Box Functions?), under the trash option at the bottom, make sure that:
Move deleted mail to the trash can is Checked!
Save deleted mail on on the server is Checked!
Delete trashed (?) mail permanently is set to NEVER!
Then go back to the main mail window and display the folders for your iCloud account on the LH side
Select your achive folder.
Go to the Mail Box menu in the menubar, Select "Use this mailbox for..." and then Select trash.
You will not notice that your archive folder now appears under the trash can in Apple Lion Mail (and the deleted items folder that is no longer the trash will appear under the folders).
This works a treat, and in fact I use this for Gmail as well. If you're interested, I have so much mail in all mail, but I want to have everything in Apple Mail. I also get to have a private backup on my Mac (and Time Machine).
So, in Gmail, I have an "Apple Trash" folder which I link to deleted items as above, and which every six months or so I relabel (in the gmail app) to another folder. That way I don't have 50,000 mails in my trash. I don't activate All Mail in Gmail's IMAP because everything I have is always in at least one other folder / lable which syncs to my mac!

Gmail on iPhone4 not syncing with Gmail on apple Mail

Hi. iPhone newb here.
I have a gmail account that I access through apple mail. I just got a new iPhone4 and set up my gmail account on it. My problem is that the two don't seem to sync up. When I read or delete an email on apple mail on my home computer, it doesn't get marked as read or deleted on my iPhone.
Is there a way to resolve this? It's annoying to have to manually keep them both consistent.
Much thanks in advance,
Steve

You need to change your Gmail settings from POP to IMAP (on the Gmail website). AFTER you have made this change, delete the Gmail account from your iPhone and then re-add it. You will need to do the same delete/re-add on your laptop.
After doing these steps, your iPhone, laptop, and webmail should all be in sync with each other.

Unusual Problem with Yahoo and Apple Mail

I hope it doesn't turn out that the user is the thing that is "unusual."
Background:
Devices: MBP, iPad, iPhone, iMac
Mail accounts: Gmail, mobileme, Yahoo
MBP settings: uses "default ports", SSL, and user name and password - Advanced Tab: Port 993 and SSL
iPad/iPhone settings: SMTP server settings - grayed-out - with SSL checked and Port 465
As of last night, I found four messages that were stuck in my Sent box, with the spinning gear that would not stop. This only happens when using my Yahoo account, and it only happens when sent from my MPB. It is also only related to outbound messages.
Now for the part that has me perplexed. My password for Yahoo (web), is the same as the password on my MBP (Apple Mail). The passwords that I have on the iPhone and iPad, are the same for both, but they're different than the password for the previous two that I mentioned. When I changed the password on my MBP to match the one that's on my mobile devices, it came up with an error for an incorrect username or password.
How can I have different passwords and still have mail working? What am I missing? Also - more to the point of my issue, can anyone offer some suggestions as to why the outbound side of Apple Mail, is not working for Yahoo?
Thank you.

Sorry...it's too bad you can't delete questions... Problem solved - port number needed to be changed, and the password was deleted for some reason. I still don't know why I see two different passwords for the same account.... Thanks for looking.

IMAP, Gmail and Apple Mail in Leopard

Has anyone got Gmail IMAP to work properly in Apple Mail in Leopard?
Although IMAP is still being rolled out, it's arrived on my 'spare' Gmail account so I tried it out in Mail on Leopard - with very mixed results.
I followed the official Gmail instructions here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77663&topic=12761
then looked here: http://5thirtyone.com/archives/862
for some additional help.
It does sort of work, but Messages don't usually appear in the InBox and setting Gmail folders to be for sent mail, deleted etc as per the second link doesn't seem to work that well.
Anyone had a good experience with this? Got any tips?
Thanks

I am using it. It is working pretty well. You do have to set up your account manually. Note the following recommendations from Google:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78892
I have a post detailing my setup here:
http://pt.withy.org/ptalk/archives/2007/11/gmailimap_on_myiphone.html
The one problem I am having with Leopard Mail is that despite setting my account to not move deleted messages to the trash, and having Show Deleted Messages enabled per:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/9911.html
When I delete a message it disappears from my InBox immediately, and there is no Undo Delete Message action available (as there used to be in Tiger Mail). The message is still available in my All Mail folder under [GMail], but I sorely miss the ability to quickly un-delete a mail message... Hope this will be fixed in 10.5.1!

Gmail and Apple mail not completely in sync

I have recently migrated to gmail from AOL (I know, should have done this a while ago). I have gmail on my iMac at work via Apple mail, Macbook at home with Apple Mail, and on my iPhone. I have it set up as IMAP. The only glitch I noticed is that I sent out an important email yesterday from my Apple Mail on my office iMac. Last night at home I could not find that sent email on my iPhone or my Macbook or on the web logged into my gmail. Is there any way to ensure that all my sent and received emails can be found on all my computers and my phone

Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

Can't sync Apple Mail with Gmail and Yahoo

Hi all, I really hope you can help. I have e-mail accounts with Gmail and Yahoo, and I'd really like to set either or both of these up in Apple Mail, primarily so that it will be really quick and easy to send people photos from my iPhoto library.
I've put in the correct info and I've enabled POP and IMAP in my Gmail settings, but when I try and set up it just says "checking connection to server [email protected]" for ages and doesn't acheive anything. When I did somehow manage to set it up briefly, I tried sending a message and it just dissapeared when I pressed send, didn't appear in my sent mail either in Gmail or in Apple Mail, and was not delivered.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm really frustrated that something that should be so simple could be such a pain - setting up e-mail on my iPhone took seconds and works perfectly! Thanks,
Malinna

Multiple gmail accounts and apple mail problems

I have upgraded to Lion, I have upgraded MobilMe to iCloud. I have multiple email accounts, including Google Apps and Gmail accounts. I now cannot get my regualr Gmail account to work in Apple Mail. I always get wrong username or password error. Anybody got any ideas?

Yea, I am having email problems across the board. I have Yahoo +, Gmail, Apple mail, corp email, and I use a lot of apple products, iPhone, iPad, MacBook Air, Time Capsules, Airport Extremes, Apple TV's and all in multiple locations. PLUS I travel a ton. Not to meantion I have to use a Blackberry solely because of BBM. So, the last couple of weeks have been interesting. My Yahoo Mail + account deleted all my contacts a few months back and has never been the same. I didn't, Yahoo did and then had the nerve to say 'sorry, you should have backed up'. So much for trusting the cloud. Now, Google and Apple seem to be having issues now after updating my MobileMe account to iCloud and YES, I have multiple Apple ID's and so you know what a mess that is. I could not be the only one with such a broad array of products and now having such problems. What a mess? I went to the 'cloud' 8 years ago after traveling in China a lot and getting tired of giving all my 'info' to the Chinese. So, I wipe before I go and wipe when I get back. Clould email seemed like a good bet but now............. ****, almost makes me want to re-activate my Hotmail account and see if it works now!!!! Never. I live in Brasil now most of the time so maybe I should just relax and go to the beach.......but I have to go to NYC, then Europe, then back to the Mid-East next week......Starting to think about going back to good old snail mail.....;)

Using Windows, can you have an ipod touch and an ipad on the same itunes account with the same apple ID?

Will I be able to have the ipad under the same itunes account with the same apple ID as my ipod touch so I can have all of my music from my ipod touch and other info on both deveices, without using icloud or imatch etc. Thanks!

Yes

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolutio

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
• restart Apple TV
• restart Macbook Pro
• quite iTunes/open
• turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
• unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
None of these have alleviated the problem.
The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

Can anyone help with icloud and apple accounts getting mixed up on 2 phones?

Basically husband upgraded from 4s to 5c. Gave dad 4s. I tried to set his dad up with icloud and apple id but didn't realise husbands old sim card was in 4s. Now neither phone works and husband very annoyed his apple id and password don't work anymore. Please help!!!

Hi Chris
So husband got new phone. Was all set up and up and running when we left the shop
Gave dad the old phone. It was locked to Vodafone so we had to ask them to unlock. He then got his three sim cut down to fit.
Weeks after husband had his 5c we went to dads to set his 4s up. I upgraded it to latest software iOS something. Anyway didn't realise it was husbands old sim still in phone.
After upgrade it asked me to set up apple account (I think) could have been icloud. Anyway I started setting it up with dads email and password choice. Husband then saw message on his 5c saying his dads email was being added to something on his phone.
At this point I left alone but now when husband tries to use his apple id for apps etc it says invalid user id or password. It's as though the 2 have got mixed up. Bit it won't let him reset his password?
Does this make sense?

I had to reset a PayPal account with iTunes and now I keep getting a your apple I'd has been disabled on both my phone and iPod. I've already done the steps in iTunes on my computer now what?

I had to reset my PayPal account with iTunes and now I'm getting a apple I'd has been disabled on both my iPad and iPhone. I've already done all the steps on my computer. Now what?

They give me that option when I'm setting up my account and I've got all that worked out. But my apple I'd is still disabled on my Mac, iPad, and iPhone. I can't download anything nor can I update any of my apps. I've even changed my account to a credit card and it still didn't help.
Any ideas? I've put in a support request. Hopefully they won't take too long.

We use the Apple mail server to get e-mails from our gmail and comcast mail accounts. Recently we have been getting spam that claims to be sent to a gmail address, but when I check that address directly, there is no such e-mail. ???

We use the Apple mail server to get e-mails from our gmail and comcast mail accounts. Recently we have been getting spam that claims to be sent to a gmail address, but when I check that address directly, there is no such e-mail, either in the inbox or in the spam folder. Is it possible to bypass the gmail account and send directly to the Apple mail server, spoofing the gmail address?

Maybe some info here for you about spoofing. (and much additional info)
