New problem forwarding mac mail to gmail since icloud

Hi, back with mobileme I was able to forward all my mac mail to be imported by gmail. Gmail is now not letting me import mac mail. Is there something I'm missing?

you can set up gmail as IMAP but you'll have to delete the current gmail POP account and set it up from scratch as IMAP. make sure you copy anything you need and which is no longer on the server from the gmail inbox and Sent mailbox to a local mailbox first. you can make a mailbox in "on my mac" section for that purpose. deleting an account deletes all mailboxes associated with it. then go to mail preferences->accounts and add a new account. in the account setup wizard uncheck the box to set it up automatically or it will recreate it as POP again, then create it as IMAP. see this link for correct settings to use.

Mac Mail and Gmail Sync

Firstly, I'm posting this in the iCal section because there's not a dedicated Mail support section, and I think my question may be similar to some iCal concerns.
With the advent of 10.6, I know it's now possible to sync your "Contacts" contained within your Mac address book with Gmail. I also know that for some time it has been possible to import your Gmail contacts to Mac Mail.
My question considers the reverse - that is, it is possible to export your Mac Mail contacts to Gmail, and even better, possibly keep them synced. Often, Mail contacts and Address Book contacts are not one and the same. I'm specifically referring to the email addresses and names that Mail autocompletes when you type in the "To:" or "Cc:" fields. I only have 100 contacts in my address book; I know I have many more stored somewhere within Mail. As of now, however, I am unable to find them and unable to use them when using Gmail on the web. It would be great to be able to write an email to a new address in either Mail or Gmail, and be able to bring it up later from a different computer.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Kevin

It sounds like you've got Gmail set up in Mail on Leopard as a POP account. This would cause problems with how it synchronizes with other clients (like your iPhone) accessing the same mail account. The iPhone by default uses IMAP for Gmail access, which is what you should use if you are going to access Gmail with more than one client on a regular basis.
Once that is done, make sure you use the recommended settings for Apple Mail in order for your Gmail account to behave properly.
Lastly you should 'map' your folders so that Mail uses your Gmail folders for it's like folders. Using your Sent folder issue as an example, once you've set up Gmail to use IMAP you'll see a folder named [Gmail]/Sent. Click on that folder and go to the menu Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > Sent. That folder will disappear from the folder pane and when you click on the Sent folder, the items in your Gmail Sent folder will now show up.
Edit: I just noticed that you say your MBP is using Snow Leopard. The settings should be exactly the same, but in the future you should post your questions about Snow Leopard (10.6) in the Snow Leopard forum.

Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

I have a problem with MAC Mail and Mediacom

I have a problem using mac mail with Mediacom. I can recieve messages, but i cannot send messages. Of course the support people at Mediacom can't seem to help me. i have searched threads here and tried some of the things but have had no luck. Please help.

I had the same problem with a relatives macbook on mediacom broadband just today,
Something gets corrupted if you enter the server wrong on the first try and even editing to correct it won't fix it. You must delete the server and add a new one.
To fix it go to mail preferences and click account at the top of the prefs window. At the bottom of the account pane click the outgoing server list and select edit server list. Select your server and hit the - symbol on the left below the list. I then close the prefs, save changes and quit mail. Re-launch Mail and open prefs, select account again and edit outgoing server, click the + at the bottom of the list and add a server, double click the server where it says double click here and type mail.mchsi.com in the box. close the prefs and save changes and you should now be able to send.

Thawte Personal Email Cert - Problem with Mac Mail

Hi, I have requested a free cert from Thawte and there seems to be a problem with Mac Mail (using 2.0.7).
I am using Entourage to send a signed message from [email protected] to [email protected]
If I check mail for [email protected]
Mac Mail reports "There was a problem reading the digital signature for this message"
If I check the same account with Thunderbird, everything works fine.
Anyone else having or had problems?
-chris

Hi,
Thanks for the responses. I requested another cert and that did not help. Here is the process I used after requesting another cert.
1. Logged into www.thawte.com and requested a new cert.
2. Using Firefox, retrieved the cert.
3. In Firefox, backed up the cert to a pkcs12 file.
4. Opened Keychain and deleted the first cert.
5. Imported the pkcs12 backup file. Imported fine.
6. Open Entourage, under tools, accounts, exchange profile, security, selected the cert Thawte Freemail Member.
7. Checked all 3 options (sign, include cert, clear test signed.
8. Created a test message from Entourage to .mac account address.
9. Checked mail with Mac Mail and signature fails.
10. Check with 1.02 Thunderbird and it comes back with valid digital signature.
Next, I sent a test email to my Exchange account from Entourage and that message verifies fine. It just seems to not work when I check my email with Mac Mail.
Thanks!

How do I format Mac mail for gmail

How do I format Mac mail for gmail?

You really have no way of controlling how the email will look on someone else's computer. I find, with email, the simpler the better. Block paragraphs (no indent on the first line) and an extra line between paragraphs.
If you want formatting control, I'd recommend using a word processor, printing to PDF and sending that.
Best of luck.

Formatting for mail forwarded by Mac mail to Gmail

I normally use Gmail. When certain people who use OSX Mail forward emails to me, the formatting is 'all over the place', especially if a picture is concerned - the picture arrives embedded and full width, even if it was an attachment in the first place. Is there a preference setting somewhere in Mail that ensures attachments stay as attachments and the formatting is retained? Or is it an incompatability between OSX Mail and Gmail?
Thanks

"Mac OS X (10.4.1)"
First off, you should update your OS to 10.4.11, Mail and install all the updates pertaining to your computer through Software Update. More than likely you are using an outdated version of Mail.
The last version of Mail for Tiger is v2.1.3.

Check your HTML settings in the "Viewing" section. HTML enabled?

Configuration problem with Mac Mail/ATT

Starting probably this morning, wireless on a PPC iMac was sluggish. Connections didn't finish. Connecting to an URL led to hanging connections.
Well, contacting ATT (my ISP), we discovered that all three of our Macs have the same problem. No problem sending and receiving email through the Ethernet, but wireless was sluggish. ATT said that, since we're dealing with a Mac Mail issue, it would be $14.99 for help on the configuration.
I don't know the new configuration, but I could change them - if I knew the settings. I'm hoping that someone has the information to save me some money. And if someone consults this discussion, they'll know the answer by looking at this thread.
Does anybody know about changes in email configurations over the past few days?

Nobody seemed to know the answer to this, so I had to look it up.
Seems that the DNS settings were incorrect for some reason. I applied OpenDNS to each of the computers in our house, and everything works fine now. I love OpenDNS.

Non .Mac mail syncing (Gmail, Yahoo) between macs

I would like to synchronise and keep exact copies of my Gmail and Yahoo accounts on Mail. Is it possible to do that (with the existing messages and the new ones)? I tried importing from one mac to the other but I never get option to select INBOX, only DELETED and SENT mailboxes. How does one export emails from Mail in mbox format?
MacBookPro 2GHz 2GB RAM/ Imac G5 2GHz 1GB RAM / Mac Mini 1.66GHz 1.25GB Mac OS X (10.4.8) iPod 5G 60GB

Apple switched from mbox to elmx with Tiger, so you will need something to convert your files. Here's one solution, but I haven't tried it myself.

IMO, trying to keep them "synced" is going to involve a lot of manual forwarding, CCing mail to yourself, etc. Instead of that why don't you get a IMAP email account? With IMAP servers your messages stay on a server, rather than get downloaded to a single machine.
If you get an IMAP account you can download POP mail from any or all of your email accounts, and then use a rule to move them to a folder on the IMAP server "automagically". Then you can access your mail from all your computers.

Mac Mail and Gmail

Over the last 24 hours I have installed my Mac Mail. I have set it up using the instructions I found here on Macworld (http://www.macworld.com/article/157846/2011/03/mailgmail.html) and here in an article by Jason Hendricks (http://www.jasonhendriks.com/2011/05/using-gmail-with-apple-mail/).
So that I can sort my Gmail emails I have set up various Gmail labels (which appear as Mailboxes in Mail). However after initially loading all my Gmail emails which took almost all night, I have now started to sort through my emails and move them to the correct allocated Gmail label/mailboxes and this is taking hours. They seem to move to the mailbox and then I go back to the inbox and they are there all over again. I thought I would wait and give it some more time and I have kept my eye on the "activity" window and it has been full of activities for the last hour of checking fetching synchronising etc but still nothing seems to be moving and if it has it is taking wayyyy too long!
Is there anything I can do to make the move from inbox to allocated labels/mailboxs instant or atleast faster? I just dont understand if all the emails spent all night finally downloading and being fetched from my online Gmail account to my Mac Mail account why I cant move them instantly since they are on my computer. And why does it say they move but then move back to my inbox?
In the time I have found this forum and written this still more things are popping up in the Activity window and nothing is moving...
Any help is greatly appreciated thanks!

Problems with Apple Mail and Gmail

Hiya

Hi,
I want to setup gmail as the default email.I've tried almost everything..google notifier, don't like to have gmail inbox in my mac apps inbox ( I could do that successfuly ).I hate it actually that I have to use entourage to send photos first to my gmail and then forward to friends.There is nothing wrong with mac mail or entourage but I just love my gmail...help please!
Apple needs to fix two things to make their mail more popular ( infact the features are great especially with new iLife'08 ) : one , mac mail should be free like all major email services ( I'll be happy with 4GB free space rather than 10GB which they are offering now with subscription ) and second they should create userfriendly environment to use any email ids as default.
Thx

Mac Mail and Gmail Messages

Hello,
I'm trying to setup my mac mail application to retrieve mail from my GMail account. I got it working, the only problem is that it is trying to retrieve ALL of my gmail. I must have over 4000 e-mails from the last 4 years. Is there any way to set it up so it only retrieves new e-mails?
Thanks!

Mac mail and gmail are not syncing

I just bought my very first mac computer, the MacBook Pro. I set up my Mac Mail to my gmail account. My gmail account won't sync up to my macmail though. All the messages are there as well as my contacts and the mac mail receives new emails when I get them, however they are not synced up. For example, when I delete a message in mac mail, it doesn't delete on my gmail account and vice versa. How do I get it so the two are synced?

How do I get these messages out of my inbox?
I am having same issue. This is a new development as I don't recall it doing this before. I was using the delete button in mail and this would archive the message (my desired behavior)...
not sure why there aren't moving out of gmail's inbox...is it possible Google is working on something behind the scenes?
Fixed this one issue (at least for my setup)...
It's a little misleading but it's the advanced imap settings in gmail's settings that was throwing me off...
Under the the "expunge" settings
x Immediately expunge messages when I mark them deleted in IMAP
Do not automatically expunge messages
Makes the "delete" button in Mail "archive" the message and move it to "All Mail"
Immediately expunge messages when I mark them deleted in IMAP
x Do not automatically expunge messages
Makes the "delete" button in Mail remove it from the folder in Mail, but not in Gmail, unless it's a message that is expunged from the last visible IMAP folder, then it goes by the second set of settings (archive, trash, delete immediately) that are only available if "do not automatically expunge messages" is chosen...

Problem outgoing (Mac)Mail

Since a couple of days i can't send anymore emails by Macmail. receiving mail ain't no problem. The settings are already doublechecked by my provider. They said it must be a Mac problem. Anybody else with the same problem or better, the solution? ;-)

Since incoming is working fine, I'd start investigating the SMTP server. Make sure your server address is correct, that you're firing on the right ports, that your authentication method is correct, etc...
I'd get in touch with your host and fill out this form with them on the line, then compare it to your settings.
If that's not an option, you can see if Apple has your email service provider info here.
Since Mac Mail is functioning properly on incoming, it's more likely that this is a server settings issue rather than an issue with the app.
