Problem with gmail account on iPhone

I didn't know if anyone else is having problems with gmail or not. I have other accounts setup on iPhone, and I'm not having any problems with them. When I try to access my gmail my phone is freezing up. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8725114&#8725114
I periodically get a freeze of either my iPhone or VZW Treo when it hangs getting Gmail. Most of the time, it works without a hitch - other times, access to Gmail is a PITA, and once in a while, it's hanging my phones up.
I've had Gmail go sideways on me a few times, buddies of mine say they're having no problems at the same time. Once in awhile, they'll call me to ask if I'm having problems (I'm not) but they can't get their messages for hours. Go figure. YMMV.

  • New Problem with Gmail -- account will not work

    All -- I am hopeful that you can help me here as I am about at my wits end with attempting to configure Gmail (of all things!) on my iPhone 4.
    This is my 3rd Iphone and I started out by copying over the configuration from my 3G. All of my other email accounts worked great after inserting the password. Gmail gave bad user/password combo error. I tried about 5-6 times...still no joy. Had my wife type the password in to make sure it wasn't just me (nope)...double checked that the password still logged me in to gmail via web on the macbook (yep).
    So I deleted the gmail account and started over from both selecting "GMAIL" and "OTHER" from the account type and following all appropriate instructions. I've also changed the password just to make sure there's no weird error with the password. Everything else on the iPhone 4 is working great...but I can't get gmail to work at all. Thoughts?

    Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, no joy.
    First time the account was still there.
    2nd time the account was gone but after putting in new info the same bad user/password issue occurred.
    Incidentally I am able to login to gmail via the web interface on my iphone...
    IMAP and POP are both enabled in my gmail account.

    i have recently set up a gmail account and when i try to set it up on my iphone, i am recieving error messages that it cannot use SSL and asks if i want to try to set up with account w/o it and then when i say yes, it gives me a cannot verify IMAP message

    (Fortunately, despite living in Boston, I'm not one to hold a grudge against your nic. )
    Have you gone to settings in Gmail (accessed via a web browser from your computer) - click Settings (upper right) > Forwarding and POP/IMAP and made sure IMAP is enabled?

  • Problem with GMail iMap and iPhone

    I am running an iMap GMail account and retrieving messages both via Apple Mail and my iPhone. All works fine except when I send a mail from my iPhone. It appears in my sent folder on the server (I can see it via GMail web interface) but it doesn't appear in my sent folder in Apple Mail. What am I missing ?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

    Having problem with gmail smtp outgoing server.  Since going to google 2-step, and entering 16-digit code in gmail account, I can receive mail on my iMac, but cannot send.  I keep getting an error message that Mail "Cannot send message using Gmail (my assigned name) server."  What do I do?

    You might also try removing all gmail passwords from your keychain in Keychain Access. Then connect again and enter the password code given by Google.

  • Yosemite Mail still has sync problems with Gmail - any solutions?

    I notice that Yosemite Mail still has sync problems with Gmail. After running for some hours, I noticed there were 6 emails in my Gmail account that had not synced over the past hour.
    In the meanwhile, for safety's sake (don't want to miss emails!) I'm back to Mailplane. But I wonder if anybody knows of a solution to this long term problem first introduced in Mavericks. Works fine in iOS Mail though.
    Thanks,
    doug

    I don't think we'll ever have a "best of both worlds" Doug. I've used Gmail since the week it launched the first beta in 2004, and it's always been a bit of a love-hate relationship for me (mostly love). With the demise of the Google Notifier for Mac, I went with Mailplane, but even it has problems. Like when I see my iPhone update with new mail and I'm looking at Mailplane and it won't update at times with even a forced refresh. I often have to close/reopen it to see new messages. But, it's hard to live without my Google Calendar only a tab click away, one of the primary reasons I use Mailplane, that plus changing view zoom sticks with Mailplane and won't with Gmail.
    For years I've thought Gmail labels were the perfect filing solution, but over the past few weeks I've been analyzing just how much I really use that feature, and for me...it's not all that much. I think I could simplify my life by putting everything into appropriate folders (as in all other email apps). Apple doesn't realize just how much money they're losing by not allowing people to use private domains with iCloud mail...which I would do in a heartbeat just because it would work perfectly with Mail.app. I would pay even more than I currently pay Google for this solution with Google Apps Business. So, I'm actually on the verge of moving my private domain to the best email service I can find and then using it with Mail.app. The problem here, of course, is I'll lose the best spam control on the planet (Gmail). So, as you say, there simply is not a "best" solution for all these things. I'll at least try a new email service first with some other domain to see how I like it before moving my primary email.
    Lastly, the other thing that incenses me is synching of flags between iOS and Apple Mail. It works fine between Gmail and iOS Mail, since all I care about is whether a message is starred/flagged or not.  But using Apple Mail, when I flag a message it will not show as flagged in their own iOS Mail, which is incomprehensible, given they built both apps.
    If you find a great solution or discover anything new...please post it here, Doug. Thanks.

  • Problem with my battery on iphone 5c

    problem with my battery on iphone 5c

    I too am so angry with my new carrier , This new year I decided to end my contract with Softbank because they did so many nasty things to foreigners over the years with like roaming charges 5 bad 3G 2 bad 4G  iPhones and Apple store Sendai trying to play it ,we have no control over carriers.
    So I had to pay a painful contract  ending payment and MNP charge so I could use my paid for number on a NTT
    iPhone 5 C that was at a 1 JP Yen special plan ,They just put on options you do not need like Wallet and charge for it ,then when I finally went throught the most rigourous security checks I was given a already opened Box because after I noticed the tape around the clear plastic top was missing and either side I saw Japanese customers opening the box by them selves I was not offered why ? when io came back they said they can open it do what ever they want until the money goes into the carriers account because I got it for free!,yet they will milk me for 2 years ! Blood suckers! Japan is a rip off.And they lock it so you can not use WiFi after 2 year contract.
    Getting back to the point ,Because I was a new customer and Gaijin they are stopping me from clearing History ,it should be blue but greyed out ,they do so they can track browesing then sell my data on preferences for shopping.
    Not only Apple that is keeping track it is also Carriers who are working together to get more money from us and not only that they damage your iPhone out of spitefulness because you canceleed the contract and want to use WiFi only They send so mant Ads trying to sell rubbish and you can not stop it ,and they change the contract in the middle and also try to stop you from cancelling a contract by telling you will be black listed.

    Hi ELMIR_012,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you may be setting up your iPhone after updating to iOS 7.
    You may want to skip signing into your Apple ID (iCloud account) until your phone is set up. You will be able to sign into your iCloud account later. See this article for more information:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: How to get started
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4053
    Sign in with your Apple ID, which you've created previously, or create a free Apple ID.
    Alternatively, you can tap Skip This Step to sign in or create an Apple ID later.
    If you require assistance with your Apple ID, please see Apple ID Support for more information.
    Additionally, this page can help with resetting your password:

  • Mac Mail stops recieveing mail with Gmail Accounts and Google Apps

    Hi,
    We're having some chronic issues with our corporate Google Apps / Gmail service when used with Mac Mail. Regardless of the OSX version... when it's not one thing it's another. It's nice to see that 10.9.4 finally correctly inserts the proper, full username in the SMTP field for Google Apps users.
    We still have some problems where users stop receiving mail silently in the middle of their workday. It wouldn't be such an issue, except that Mac Mail pretends nothing is wrong and suddenly the person realizes they are 3 hours behind on their emails. Magically, quitting and re-opening mail resolves the issue. Even more disturbing, is this article on apple support which lists this stupidity as the official workaround
    OS X: New email messages not received until Mail is quit and reopened
    I suppose one could argue that Outlook 2011's integration with gmail accounts is even worse. There's something to be said about "AirMail" being the #2 app in all the appstore currently. Clearly Apple and Google aren't putting their best foot forward to make this work.
    I guess what I'm looking for is something concrete other than "Restart Mail to get mail coming in again". Is there some workaround to see the connection status to see if something is stalled?

    Googles version of an IMAP system works poorly with most clients. If you are going to use it then choosing a client that works the way Google wants them too is a wise course.
    Of that breed MailPlane is easily the best, AirMail is a solid second.

  • What's the problem with gmail?

    I have a couple of firneds with gmail accounts, and lately, when I attempt to reply to their emails the Mail app freezes and I have to force quit.
    I'm able to read the email, and as long as I don't try to reply (or forward) everything is fine, but I crash if I try to reply.
    I have a gmail account as well, and I originally thought it was my account that was bailing, but I asked my friends to send email to my dotmac adress. Same problem.
    Anyone have any advice?

    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same). Uncheck (disable) the rest. Parallels in particular, if you have that installed, is known to cause this problem in Mail.
    How have you set up the account in Mail (POP, IMAP)? If IMAP, what are your Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors > Drafts settings?
