Not all Google imap messages synching with my Apple mail

I've been using my MBP's Apple mail to access my Google imap mail for 3 or 4 years.  No problems until recently when, in Apple mail, I did searches for old e-mail messages and couldn't find them, but when I accessed a web browser to access my Google imap mail, my searches there were successful in finding the old e-mail messages.  My inference: not all of my Google imap mail messages are synching over to my MBP's Apple mail.
Any suggestions on what I might do to guarantee that my Google imap mail messages  synch over to my MBP's Apple mail?

I figured out a solution and it works.  Using a browser to access my Google mail, I marked as "unread" all mail for the previous 12 months.  As a result, my Apple mail uploaded/read of those e-mails again.  A pleasant surprise: in my Apple mail, these re-uploaded/read e-mails did not show up marked as new.  In my Apple mail now, I can find those previously missing old e-mails when I new search for them.  Caution: it took a long time (days) for the imap operations to do all of its behind-the-scenes tasks, like setting flags or caching attachments or doing something with directories, and so forth; however, all of this was invisible and my Apple mail was fully functional throughout.

    On the left, you should have a list of keychains and categories. If not, Select Show Keychains from the View menu.
    Select the login keychain and All Items in the Category.
    In the search field, type something that will help find your  account keychains, like "gmail."
    Select the keychain for your email account password and delete it.

  • I have a Macbook and I left it unplugged. It started up slowly when I plugged it in again, but it seemed fine. Once it started charging I shut it down so it would be easier, but now it will not go past the grey screen with the apple. What do I do?

    I have a Macbook and I left it unplugged. It started up slowly when I plugged it in again, but it seemed fine. Once it started charging I shut it down so it would be easier, but now it will not go past the grey screen with the apple. What do I do?
    I have Snow leopard on my computer, and I tried to do a hard restart as an article suggested, but it did not work. I also tried cleaning out the PRAM.
    The only things I did last night:
    -cleaned the history of Firefox out, including cookies
    -let it unplugged all night
    -plugged it back in the morning, it took a long time to figure itself out, but eventually the time was correct and I got on the internet for a bit
    -shutdown the computer since I was going out and thought it would help the computer charge
    -came back, tried to turn it on, and found that it would not go past the grey screen the apple on it and the spinning wheel even though I left it for 20 minutes or more
    -tried turning it off and on to no avail

    Before doing a reinstall, which may not be needed at this point,
    Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Repair reports and if DU was able to repair them. This could just be a start in repairs and you may need a better utility to finish the job.
    Then Repair Permissions.
    No need to report any Permissions errors........we all get them.

  • HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

    iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.  I've seen reference to the  "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app.  I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for.  I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

  • Changed email from pop to imap in entourage 2008 and apple mail and have lost a lot of messages

    Changed email from pop to imap in entourage 2008 and apple mail and have lost a lot of messages. I am a rookie and don't know what to do to correct the situation

    I found this great set of mail AppleScripts:
    http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
    It includes one script to delete duplicate messages. So if we can't find a way to do this right, then I'll just download all the duplicates then delete them. Of course I don't want to actually do that, lets call this the nuclear option.
    So can anyone think of a way to make an IMAP account for my gmail without it downloading all the messages again that I have already downloaded?

  • I have a game but it only for one apple id and one divece but someone i dont know id play that game and using my apple id and i want to know if u can block them from using ur apple id and also erase all the games they downlode with the apple id

    I have a game but it only for one apple id and one divece but someone i dont know id play that game and using my apple id and i want to know if u can block them from using ur apple id and also erase all the games they downlode with the apple id

    There probably is, but it requires that you be able to use punctuation and write in sentences so that we can understand exactly what you want.
    You can block others from using your Apple ID by changing your password.  There is no way to erase what was already downloaded on to someone else's device, for obvious reasons,

  • NOTES show other IMAP messages.....why?

    In the section called REMINDERS, that shows Notes and To Do, Mail is displaying folders that should be in the IMAP area, not in here.
    Does anyone know why?

    looks like messed up mail preferences. quit Mail and move the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist to the desktop. start Mail. it will be empty and you'll have to recreate all your accounts. once you do Mail will recognize existing mailboxes so you won't have to redownload your messages. the problem should hopefully go away.

  • Not all chinese characters display correctly with non-embedded text

    Hi all,
      I've updated to the last beta 2 of Flash Player 10.1 (10,1,51,66) and compiled this simple Flex application to illustrate the fact that not all chinese characters can be displayed correctly with non-embedded text (device font).
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                   xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                   xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo"
                   minWidth="1024" minHeight="768"
                   creationComplete="resourceManager.localeChain = ['zh_CN'];"
                   layout="{new VerticalLayout()}">           
        <fx:Script>
            <![CDATA[
                import spark.layouts.VerticalLayout;
            ]]>
        </fx:Script>
        <s:Label text="伜-伞伟传伡伢伣伤伥伦伧伨伩伪伫伬伭-伝">
        </s:Label>
        <mx:Label text="伜-伞伟传伡伢伣伤伥伦伧伨伩伪伫伬伭-伝"/>       
    </s:Application>
      Notice that characters from the Unicode range 0x4F1E .. 0x4А2D are not displayed within <s:Label> component that uses Flash Text Engine (FTE) by default to display the text, but at the same time those characters display just fine within older <mx:Label> component that relies on flash.text.TextField instance to render the text.

        OK, did not know that "Arial Unicode MS" font is only distributed with Microsoft Office, was looking into relying on this font in case if "simsun.ttc" font is not available at the user's system, by using the following:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                   xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                   xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
                   minWidth="1024" minHeight="768"
                   creationComplete="resourceManager.localeChain = ['zh_CN']"
                   layout="{new VerticalLayout()}">               
        <fx:Style>
            @namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
            @namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo";
            s|Label {
                fontFamily: "Arial Unicode MS, SimSun, Arial";            
        </fx:Style>   
        <fx:Script>
            <![CDATA[
                import spark.layouts.VerticalLayout;
            ]]>
        </fx:Script>
        <s:Label id="sparkLabel" text="伜-伞伟传伡伢伣伤伥伦伧伨伩伪伫伬伭-伝"/>   
    </s:Application>  
    Tough decision ahead, but accordingly to  the survey at codestyle.org (2000 participants from 2007 year and onwards), Arial Unicode MS is present at 62.53%% system surveyed.
    ps
       My current install of Windows XP already includes the install of Microsoft Office 2007 and I've also enabled/disabled the support of East Asian languages, thus the content of  my "fonts" folder differs now significantly from "clean" Windows XP install version.
    Nevertheless I found the page with comprehensive lists of standard fonts installed with different releases of Windows that looks viable here:  http://www.kayskreations.net/fonts/fonttb.html

  • Can I Integrate all devices in the house with 1 Apple ID ?

    Our family has several Apple devices ( 2 iphone 5s, 4 iPad Mini, 2 Macbook Pro, 1 iMac, Apple TV and 2 airport extremes) but for using we have 3 or 4 Apple ID..... This doesn't allow to share some stuff libraries, contacts, etc and documents thru icloud. Which is the way that Apple suggest to share all ? Is there any way that each Apple ID allow more than 5 devices ? a way to link sharing of Apples ID ?

    How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer
    Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
    This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
    On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
    Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data.  Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
    Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
    Note: The essence of the above was created by user, randers4. I
    have made substantial changes to improve readability and syntax.
