Password protect gmail in apple mail

I was wondering if there's a way to make Apple Mail ask for the password when retrieving new mail from gmail. It always requires a password for hotmail. Not sure why there's a disparity.

Use Software Update to update your os and anything else that needs to be updated. You could be missing a Mail update. Your profile shows you are still using 10.6.7.

Sending Password-Protected PDF in Apple Mail

I am trying to send such to a client but the attachment seems to refuse to appear in the email. Non-protected pdf's do not display this symptom.
How can I do this?

By "appear in the email" you mean "look like a picture"? This is just an oddity of Apple Mail; almost every other email program doesn't show PDF files, and you can't control whether Apple Mail will do so...

Trouble sending mail through Gmail with Apple Mail

I am having trouble sending email through Gmail using Apple Mail. I have entered the correct password thorugh the two step verification from Google and the Connection Doctor says that I'm connected to the IMAP and SMTP, but I get the error that my email address was rejected by the gmail server.
Any thoughts?

Google has instruction posted for setting up your iPhone with gmail. I followed these directions and it worked perfectly.

No, there's no passcode protection for Notes.

Cannot add Gmail to Apple Mail in Mavericks

I cannot add Gmail to Apple Mail in Mavericks. I have tried adding it as a Google account AND as an "other" account. I have tried manually filling in the settings, using the instructions from Gmail's website:
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
imap.gmail.com
Port: 993
Requires SSL:Yes
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires TLS
smtp.gmail.com
Port: 465 or 587
Requires SSL: Yes
Requires authentication: Yes
Use same settings as incoming mail server
I have tried with both part 465 and prt 587 for the outgoing mail server. Still, it tells me, "There was a problem setting up the account."

Go to Mail->Preferences->Accounts and create an account

Using Gmail with Apple Mail.

Has anyone else encountered strange behaviors retrieving your gmail through Apple Mail. The issue I'm having is it seems to pull in the last couple days worth of email every time I open apple mail to check my mail. Pretty annoying when you get a lot of email. Any suggestions?

Couldn't wait. Found it under Preferences -> Accounts -> Advanced.
I changed it from One Week (the default ? ) to One Day.
That should help.
I have my Apple Mail program set to FORWARD every message that comes into Mail to a Gmail address, and on Gmail I have preferences set to reply to all messages from the email address they are sent to, so my email that goes to Mail generates replies that look like they come from Mail.
Allows me to keep a record of all emails I receive.

HT2500 Can I import my contacts from Gmail into Apple mail (Snow Leopard)?

Can I import my contacts from Gmail into Apple mail (Snow Leopard)?

That says Reset Documents and Data, not Contacts.
I want you to go to www.icloud.com, login and see how many contacts are there, because they are all the iCloud contacts. Any contacts that are not there, are not on iCloud.

HI, as of today can't use Gmail with Apple Mail anymore. neither on Macbook Pro nor on ipad. But is still works on my iphone, guess because I didn't update on the iphone. So can anybody tell me what happened and how I can fix it?

Hi,

Can anybody tell me what happended and how to fix it?
Thx

ChrisK21,
Make sure your settings match up with this:

if wouldn't hurt to delete the account entirely and just re-set it up in preferences.

Password protect local mailboxes in Mail? + AOL Communicator ?

A friend wants to know if they can password protect local mailboxes like AOL Communicator on Mac OS X Mail. Anyone know how without FileVault?
In addition if you know why she may be getting this error, that would be helpful too:
"Failled to initialize NSS. Run Identity Manager first to create the NSS databases or check for free disk space."

I'm looking for a simple solution like this too. How can we seriously work with email and also work live with others too? It's as if OS X wants all the laundry in everyones face... Unless there some modesty is built into Mail.
I think this post might suggest a better way-- Use an external HD for mail boxes.

GMAIL ON APPLE MAIL AND IPHONE - IMAP VS. POP

I used to have an email with my internet service provider. I switched to Verizon FiOs and needed to switch every website and contact to the new email. Its a pain. I decided to just get a Gmail account so I don't ever have to switch again.
Anyway, with the Cox account, I used to check my email on the iPhone or on my iMac. I could get an email, delete it, and then check my email on the computer hours later and it downloaded again (for editing word documents, etc.).
When I switched to Gmail, I configured Apple Mail by letting it automatically configure the account. On the iPhone, I used the Gmail automatic setup in Settings>Mail. I sent a couple of emails to the address to test it. Most all of them came to the iPhone but only some were there later on the iMac. I read online about the IMAP and POP settings but I don't really understand the differences or benefits.
Basically, in the end I want to be able to check my email on the go and delete them on my iPhone but later go home and check again to have them all there. Which settings do I need to have on the gmail server, the phone, and the computer to make this happen?
Also, is there any way to delete the annoying extra folders and "All Mail" system on the Gmail server and just use the inbox.
Thanks in advanced

Use "recent mode" on Gmail for both devices. That solves the problem. Only issue is that will cause all the emails of the past month to re-download to all your devices, so you'll end up re-deleting a huge pile of mail. But once that's done-with, all your devices can all access the mail fresh from now on.
Look for instructions in Gmail help. Basically it means adding the text "recent:" to your POP login info, as in recent:[email protected] instead of just [email protected]

Retrieve Gmail in Apple Mail

Have a gmail account with my own domain name. i want to get the mail in Apple Mail. It won't set up. I get an authorization password from gmail but when I put it in it isn't recognized. I can send mail in the account but can't receive - I have sent test messages. I have Outlook for Mac on the computer and I think there is a setting in gmail or somewhere that Outlook is my default mail client which I can't figure out how to turn off. When I send a test message it appears in Outlook but not in the Apple Mail client which I suspect is being caused by the outlook-is-my-default setting.

But with Outlook it works, yes?
So then, enter the very same details into Apple Mail's account settings as you find them in Outlook. Let me repeat:
See that you have Outlook's Preferences open while doing so, and there the Accounts window with all the details of the Gmail account, so you can "copy" them properly.
Make sure the Gmail account will be an IMAP account, not POP.
Then just make sure that fields of the same or very similar names, check boxes, etc, in Apple Mail's account settings end up being the same as in Outlook's account settings.
You should be able to access, amend or change all settings and parameters anytime, even if the initial "automatic" setup wasn't successful.

Getting Gmail in Apple Mail on AT&T

This issue began with release 7.0.1.
The issue is:
- using Apple Mail
- with a gmail LDAP account
- sometimes, upon opening mail, I get an error message twice indicating my username and/or password is incorrect (the second appears almost instantaneously after the first--both are open at the same time)
- this seems to occur most often when I am using AT&T with no wifi, but does occur occasionally on wifi.
- the rest of the time, the mail works fine.
In addition (and may not be related), there are many times when my phone will show no service while sitting on my desk in my home. At other times, in the same place, it will show three of four dots.
I have deleted and re-setup gmail.
I have replaced the SIM card.
Can't tell if it is an iPhone issue, a gmail issue, an AT&T issue, or is multiple issues. Any ideas?

Gmail Google Apple Mail Set Up Problem

I have had my Gmail POP account working successfully for about a year. I recently switched my internet provider and since then I can not get Apple Mail of my Jabber iChat account to work.
The problem I get with Apple mail is: Connection Failed The server error encountered was: The connection to the server "pop.gmail.com" on port 995 timed out.
The iChat message is: Could not connect to Jabber. Could not connect to host talk.google.com
I sent many emails to Google showing them my set up and they could not help. They said I should contact my internet provider.
Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix this?
Thanks, Nick

My new ISP provider which is ERSnet.net could provide now help. I am forced to use them because of my stupid apartment complex. I miss comcast Anyway, ERSnet.net say everything Apple Mail should work but they admitted that no one at the company understands or uses Apple Computers. Their website www.ersnet.net has a section for FAQ which is pretty bad as well.

Gmail in Apple Mail. Messages to self don't go to inbox..

Hi. I have a gmail account that I access using Apple Mail. It is IMAP
I frequently CC or Blind CC myself on outgoing messages.
Most of the time the messages appear in my inbox when I check mail. Sometimes (1 out of 3) they do not appear in the inbox. They do appear in the Gmail>All mail folder and in Gmail on the web.
Any ideas?
Thanks

The problem is that Gmail moves "deleted" messages to the All Mail category. The trick to avoiding having 3 copies of a message in your client (Apple Mail, iPad, iPhone, etc) is to configure Gmail's IMAP settings. Go to Settings-->Labels and look at the right side where it offeres a series of checkboxes labeled "Show in IMAP". You can turn the various labels off or on to control which messages ("mailboxes") your IMAP client app will see. At a minimum, you probably want to have just Inbox, Sent Mail, Drafts, and Trash. Maybe Spam if you want to manage that on your cllient in addition to the Gmail web interface. The key one to turn OFF is the "All Mail" label.
This is not a new "problem" in Lion... Gmail's IMAP has been this way all along. But I do believe that Apple Mail in Lion auto-configures itself for Gmail so perhaps you're now seeing the problem for the first time.
See these articles for more info:

How to retrieve deleted gmail in apple mail.

During the process of deleting thousands of emails in apple mail, I accidentally deleted all the email. Can this be undone or can I retrieve those deleted emails? The trash has been emptied.

In the mailbox list, below the word "MAILBOXES" and the standard mailboxes (Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash, & Junk), you should have some lines like "SMART MAILBOXES", "REMINDERS", "RSS", "ON MY MAC", and a line with the name of each of your mail accounts. Each of those lines may have subordinate lines indented below it, or they may be hidden. Before Lion, the top-level lines would have standard disclosure triangles to their left like folders, but Lion Mail removed that visual clue in favor of a word "Show" or "Hide" to the right that appears only when you mouse over it.
The Gmail Spam folder you seek is two folders deep inside your Gmail account.
Here's my Gmail account listing:
It has 41 unread messages. If I hover my cursor over the oval with "41" in it, the oval shifts left and "Show" appears. If I click on "Show", I get this:
If I click on the disclosure triangle left of the "[Gmail]" folder, voila!
By the way, this intermediate "[Gmail]" folder is specific to Gmail, Google Apps mail sites, and other mail sites using Google's Gmail code, as is the All Mail folder. Other servers will have their own folder structure.
