Google Mail Account in Mail5 on Lion?

How can i install Google Mail Account in Mail5 on Lion?
I have Lion and Mail5. Will install IMAP Account from Google Mail. But they dont Work

Do you have the IMAP server turned on within the GMail account itself? It is not something that GMail has turned on by default; you must go into your GMail settings on the GMail site to do.
I won't bore you or anyone with the steps on how to do that. Google has very direct instructions on how to turn on their IMAP through their own Help web pages. Once you have turned on the IMAP interface on Gmail's end, it's just a simple matter of going into Lion's "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" System Preferences applet and supplying your Gmail account's credentials. The applet will take over from there and add Gmail goodies to your Mail 5 and iCal.

Missing my Google mail account on my Mac

I have MobileMe as my main email account, which syncs between my Mac and iPhone. I also have a Google Mail account, which I decided to setup on my iPhone. The problem is, after syncing my devices by MobileMe AND physically connecting the devices via cable, the Google Mail account do NOT show on my Mac??!! I remember setting this up before and the Google Mail account automatically appeared on my Mac, I removed it after a while, but now have decided to set it up again, using the same process, but this time, it is not setting up automatically on my Mac? Also, I changed the name of my MobileMe account on my iPhone, but the change has not been passed to my Mac via either MobileMe OR sync. What is going on? I know these things are done automatically when you sync devices, because it has worked for me in the past with no problem. Can someone shed some light on my problems? Thanks for your help guys!

Sorry, but you didn't do this. Doing what you are wanting is not supported - never has been supported and is not possible.
The point for this option is most people are accessing their email account or accounts with an email client on their computer - people have been doing this long before the iPhone. The option for email accounts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences is for transferring email account settings for a selected email account or accounts from a supported application or email client on your computer to the iPhone's Mail application if you don't want to manually create the account or accounts on your iPhone. This is not a sync process. This is a one way data transfer only for selected email account settings from the Mail.app on your Mac to the iPhone's Mail application.
If your Gmail account was set up with the Mail.app on your Mac, what was the point for deleting the account on your Mac? You could have disabled the account without deleting the account from the Mail.app.
If you want to access your Gmail account with the Mail.app on your Mac, you need to manually create the account with the Mail.app on your Mac. If this is pointless and a waste of time, don't do it. Your first post in this thread was done 25 minutes ago. To create an email account with the Mail.app shouldn't take you longer than a minute or two.

Why can't I add Google Mail account since upgrading to ios8.3?

Tryinh to add Google Mail account to iPhone 5c with ios8.3
it asks for email and password sign in and then goes back to the add account page.

If you have two-step verification turned on for your email account, you'll have to get instructions from your provider on how to set up your account on a mobile device.

How do I stop Mail being my default email account?

When I click on an email address on a web page, Mail opens up. I'd prefer
using Gmail. Is there a way to do that, without having to copy the email address, and opening another browser?
Thanks,
Paul

Hello Paul.
Are you aware that you can access your Gmail account as a POP account with an email client such as the Mail.app?
The default email reader selection with Mail is for just that - your chosen email reader and a browser used to access an email account via webmail is not considered an email reader but there is a work around with this.

Two Google mail accounts in Mail cannot send properly

I recently added a business email that was set up through google mail to Apple Mail. Both boxes receive mail fine. However, when I try to send from my business email it is delivered through my personal. When I try to edit the outgoing server to differentiate the two accounts Mail gives an error message that it cannot connect & defaults to online. I have tried numerous options with no success. Ironically, the emails perform perfectly on an Iphone but not a Macbook Pro. Any thoughts? Thank you

Click the extra one that you want to delete, then when it's highlighted, click the minus sign in the lower left corner to delete it.

I have two google mail accounts, one is work, one is home. I prefer to keep things separate. On my iPad, formerly had no problem checking each account. Now when I log into either account, my poor iPad acts like its spinning its head.

I have two google email accounts - one is personal, the other professional. I like them being separate. Until a few days ago, my ipad could pull up either account I needed at the time. Now, though, when I try to pull up either account after signing in, the line above the blue line (sorry I'm new to this and don't know the terms) switches rapidly between the two account names and nothing appears below where the mail should be. What do I do? Thanks

Update to above question:
Hello All,
To anyone with the same problem described above, on THEIR iPad (if it is running iOS 7.0.2):
Go to Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; DELETE your *******@btinternet.com e-mail account, that you originally set up either using 'Other', or the 'BT' option which I am sure was in the list previous to the iOS 7 update.
Then ADD a NEW account choosing YAHOO from the list of options. DO NOT USE 'OTHER'.
Enter the correct details just as you (almost certainly) had already done in your previous attempts using 'other'.
When you see the 'verifying......' and 'the blue ticks' you should be able to exit settings and open your mail app and then receive all your 'old' e-mails again, AND be able to SEND as well.
All my 'old' e-mails, were NOT found in the 'old e-mail' folder though. THEY are still in my inbox.
So this fix worked for me.
After I deleted my account from 'OTHER' and put it in Yahoo, I like other people also ended up with more folders.
I hope this works for you on YOUR Apple devices.
Bob

How do I make a different Mail account the default for sending new messages?

I have several email accounts in Mail. When I go to Preferences> Accounts I see them. The account on top of the list is the default one for sending mail. I want one of the lower ones instead. Can I select this or move it to the top position (if that is what gives it priority)?

Open Mail as usual and, at the sidebar, press the arrow next to "Inbox", so all your email accounts will show up under it. Simply hold the Command key and drag the email account you want to use by default to the first position. This will make it the default mail account to send emails

How do I set google mail as my default rather than apple mail

Hello All - Stumped at how to avoid having Mail be the default - which seems to be the default of choice on my desktop. However I do not really use Mail, but rather gmail. Unsure of how to go about this, since I do not have a reader for my gmail. Thanks to all you know - Carlyle

You could try gmail Notifier for Mac. Text below from link (Frequently asked Questions).
Making Gmail your default mail application
You can designate Gmail as your default mailto handler. This means that when you click on any hyperlinked email address, a Gmail compose window will open so you can send a message to that address from Gmail.
To do so in Windows:
Download the Gmail Notifier.
Right-click the Notifier icon in your system tray, and select Options.
Check the box next to Use Gmail for internet mailto: links.
Click OK.
If you decide later that you don't want to use Gmail as your default email application, simply uncheck the box.And, if you're using a Mac, you can set your default mailto handler by following these steps:
Download the Google Notifier.
Open the Notifier.
Click the Mail icon on the Menu bar and go to Preferences...
Select the Gmail tab and choose Gmail as the program from the Compose mail in drop-down menu.
Note: The Notifier is currently available in English only.

How to spot Mail from being default email application

Hi
Call me crazy but I like to use Netscape as my email application. I need to stop mail to launch as the default email application.
How can I do this?
Thanks

Yes, of course(I'm sorry, my last post wasn't so complete as it should be), exactly the same as it was with me... I've solved it at "the long way" (there must be a shorter way, something like an "abort"-way, but I don't know that way...). I've opened an extra account at yahoo (.ca or .com), which is easily to set in Mail (see in your yahoo mail > options). Than I have imported that mail-account into my Mail, so that I can use all the options (also mail>preferences). Than I have set my standard mail-application in the tab "general" into entourage. than it is just load your mail into netscape mail.
Greets,
Arne

Can't get Mail to be default email app

I've used Eudora for years and now have switched to Mail, but Eudora keeps becoming my default email app. I've set Mail 3.6 as my default app within Mail > Prefs, but when I quit Mail and reopen and check prefs, Eudora is back in the pulldown instead of the way I left it: Mail 3.6.
Is there somewhere else I need to set this default?

You mention Mail will find the mail boxes though? I have years, no decades of mail, I can't afford to lose.
If you have all that email, if any of the email accounts are IMAP, you need to quit Mail and remove those specific mailboxes from Home/Library/Mail to your Desktop first.
Then you can delete the com.apple.mail.plist file from Home/Library/Preferences, restart Mail and setup your accounts again and wait for Mail to find the mailboxes for your POP accounts, if any, and re-download the mail for your IMAP accounts.
It might sound scary, but if you have any accounts that are IMAP-based, those emails are still on the server, unless you chose to delete them after you retrieved them the first time.

How do I make "Mail" pick a default email address to go to?

My address book for , for instance, John Doe has 2 email addresses in it, his work address and his gmail address.
I open mail and type in John Doe in the "To" box and the work address always defaults in first when I really want his gmail address.
How can I designate the gmail email address to be the one it automatically fills in first so I dont have to scroll down each time.
I know it sounds like a ridiculous request, but I can't imagine there isnt a way to make it the default address. I figured out how to do it for groups, and I was hoping this would translate to non groups but it did not.
thanks
roger

I will show it to you by pictures. On the left side of Mail, you have the Mail sidebar, and at the top of the sidebar, you have "Inbox", and under it, you should see your different mail accounts:
If you don't see your mail accounts, just press the arrow next to Inbox, so your mail accounts will appear. In my case, as you can see, my iCloud account is at the top, so all my mails will be sent automatically with my iCloud account. However, I can drag my Gmail account to the first position, so all my mails will be sent with my Gmail account. That's what you have to do

How do I make an e-mail account the default account (I have 2 accts)?

IPad Mail account thousands of emails on server

I added a Mail account to my iPad Air. This account on my iMac currently has about 25 emails in the inbox. But on the iPad, it added all emails on the server, more than 2,000. It made me purge about 1,400 of these old emails on the server webmail. But how can I have just the same emails in the inbox as on the iMac? I don't see anything in the Mail, Contacts, Calendars setting in the account's Advanced settings that would enable what I want.
What is especially perplexing is I have two other Mail accounts on the iPad and they DO mirror the Mail accts. on the iMac with about 20 messages in the inboxes and DON'T download all the other mail in these accts. that are on the server.

Having an e-mail sit in the trash can is not what I call a safe place to keep it ... :-) ... I would have absolutely no expectation of finding that e-mail there at some time in the future.
We can look at this from another perspective. At some future date ... you post something like, "My e-mails have disappeared and I don't know why!!" Then someone asks you where those e-mails were at, and you tell them 'in the Trash Can!' WELL ... after you say that, you have to wait a while before getting a response from them, because they fell out of the chair from laughing so hard! ... :-) ... no, "storing e-mails" in the TRASH CAN is not a viable option.

Share: where Mail is not default email client

Hi All
History
Moutain Lion is a great and some challenging update
I have serious problems with Apples Mail App and it drafts keep popping up. See this link.
So I use a different email client. Sparrow Mail App or Postbox.
Problem
Now, when I want to Share my work through Pages, Numbers or Keynote and my default mail client isn't Mail App I just get a fail sound and nothing happens.
If Mail App is selected as default mail client share works.
This issue has risen since Mountain Lion update has been installed.
Solution
Does anyone know how to get around this issue? How one can make iWork apps accept other mail clients to send of work.
Right now is old style save on Desktop and drag into mail client for me. - It's not death, just very annoying.
If anyone has some supreme solution, please let me know.

Hi Peggy. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I might repeat my self: The problem is not selecting the default email client. You can do that in Mail, Sparrow, Postbox and Outlook too.
Setting anything else than Mail as default mail client is not the issue. Done! Easy!
What's the issue is to get iWork applications to accept it! After ML update my iWork apps only want to Share if Mail is standard mail client. Not if any other mail client is selected as standard.
Hope it clarifies
And once again, thanks for helping out.
