Hi So71,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are having. If you are having issues adding your account to Mail on your iPhone, you may find the following articles helpful (apologies if you have already seen them):

  • Problem adding gmail account   with Exchange.  Please help?

    I have a 4s thru AT&T.  I set up a mail account using GMail's server, then entered my gmail info, and it worked.  However, my emails were not coming to the iPhone until I opened the mail app.  In other words, I didn't hear a ding and alert that a new Gmail had arrived.  Messages were NOT being pushed.
    So I read up on this, and eveyone said to set up gmail via the EXCHANGE account,(not the gmail account) under Settings>Mail>Add Account>EXCHANGE now instead of gmail).  If I set up my Gmail via Exchange, then I should get messages pushed.
    So I did all that, and for the server, I entered m.google.com.   This setup is covered all over the place and looks easy.  However, when I am done, and try to open/send anything, it says Cannot Get Mail.  The connection to the server failed.  Postitive that my names and passwords are right.  No typos anywhere.
    Gmail connects me fine when I add account via gmail.   But Gmail will not connect when I add account Via Exchange.

    It should push by default, as Gmail is an iMAP account that supports push.   You could go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Fetch New Data and confirm that Push is set to On.
    I have see a number of posts recently, however, about Gmail push not working for people.  Suggest you search these forums or Googles support forum to see if there's a solution.

  • Problems adding gmail account

    I am unable to add my gmail account to the Mail accounts.  Ipad says the password to gmail is incorrect, but it is not.  It works fine on my laptop.  Any ideas?

    This is what I did... Log on to gmail account on a laptop or computer. Go to Google-> accounts. There will be a list on the left side, click on Security. Scroll to the "connected applications and sites" and click on "Review permissions". That should take you to a screen which makes you enter your password. After you login with password, you will be taken to a page which has a box to enter a application name (for you to remember what it will be for-ie. iPhone 5S Gmail). Enter a name, click "generate password", then enter that password into the iPhone mail account password area. You will only have to do this once & do not need to remember the password for the future, as it recognizes the device now.

  • Added gmail account to my iPad but I now have 5000 emails.  How do I fix this.

    Added gmail account to my iPad but I now have 5000 emails.  How do I fix this?

    Hello dannyboybell,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that there is a discrepancy in what you see for photo storage on your iPad. One step I would recommend in this situation would be to place your iPad into recovery mode and select Update when given the choice. This will not erase any of your content. The attached article doesn’t match your issue, but the troubleshooting steps I would suggest are similar. 
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • EXTREME mail activity after adding GMAIL account to Mailboxes

    HELP!  Not so tech savy…need basic instructions please
    Mail activity a little excessive - states progressively receiving 8330 emails. 
    Have just added GMAIL account to my MAILBOXES.
    Have already changed MAIL > PREFERENCES > MAIL BOX BEHAVIOURS > unticked to all not store on the server….
    NOT SURE WHERE TO TURN!  Please help!

    Hi, did you set it up as POP or IMAP?
    It's normal that all eMail on the server will download to the computer you setup a new account on.

  • I am using a Macbook Air mid 2012 and an apple application "Mail". With only one email account (Yahoo), everything works perfectly. But the problem started when I added GMAIL account. Now it keeps on asking for my password for gmail and keychain.

    With only Yahoo account in my Macbook Air "Mail", everything works perfectly. Problem started when I added my Gmail account. It keeps on asking my account and keychain passwords. And all my accounts always works offline.

    It sounds like you may need to go into Mail>Preferences>Accounts and Complete setting up you Gmail account.  It may not be finished being setup.  For instance, note the line below to be selected from the drop down list in "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP", then  "Edit SMTP Server List":
    Hope this helps

  • Problem with adding gmail account to Thunderbird

    In an existing Thunderbird installation I added a gmail account. During this process when I was invited to enter a password I left the password blank because I did not want a password. When I go to access my gmail mail I get prompted for a password. If I don't enter a password or hit "cancel" nothing seems to happen. I am not receiving any test emails into the gmail account within Thunderbird.

  • Cant add nor edit Contacts since added gmail account by google apps

    Time ago I´ve used to have only 1 mail account set on my blackberry, a gmail account ([email protected]), and used the google sync (http://m.google.com/sync) to synchronize contacts between the smartphone and the webmail account. It has been working like a charm for a long time. At that time, I could create and edit contacts and the changes got synchronized in both sites.
    A month ago I decided to create through Google Apps an email address with my own internet domain ([email protected]), and decided to add this email address to the smartphone to check both accounts. The first surprise came when I noted that adding this email address (following the procedure to add any email address) has caused the BB to activate it, like BES mode, against the gmail server.
    Suddenly I discovered that I cant create nor edit contacts in BB, but I can in the webmail interface of the google apps email address. The contact created using the web interface is syncronized to the BB.
    The issue is that I cant create nor edit contacts in the smartphone!
    Have anyone experienced something similar to this?
    Any idea will be greatly appreciated

    On the windows pc I used the default setting thunderbird proposed, I tried the same on arch but without success...
    The setup is stuck on 'checking password...'

    I am now beginning to suspect it indeed had to do with that first lot of wrong passwords.

    The version is noted there.
    Troubleshooting advice can depend on that information.

  • Added gmail account synched with itunes lost ical

    I was having trouble deleting gmail messages--- seemed like I was going in circles deleting them from one bin, then finding them in another and deleting them there, only to find them back in the original bin.
    So I deleted my gmail account from my iPhone and set it up again.  Then I synched my iPhone to my Apple laptop using iTunes.  My phone gave me a message about deleting calendars and I thought that I was deleting one from my phone so I deleted it.  Now I have no calendar events either on the laptop or on the phone.
    Any way that I can recover my calendar events?
    Thanks!!

    Hi Michael,
    Yes it is now resolved but not after I send iTunes a request for help and explaining the problem.  They send a first reply explaining how I needed to verify my account and gave me the link to do that.  You and I know that this did not help, so I replied telling them that this was not working and iTunes did the reset for me.
    You may want to open a help ticket with iTunes help.  That is the only way it works.

  • 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.

  • Email not working since adding gmail account

    Hello,
    I added a 3rd Gmail account into my Apple email client.
    Now, my rules don't work?
    Emails with subject or from people should be automatically moved into folders, but this has stopped working.
    I added some new rules today to test, and nothing happens.
    Also, I manually move the emails into a folder and I have to move the email twice before the email disappears from my email inbox?
    Please help.

    I ended up trying everything listed. Nothing worked...then I found a listing that mentioned going onto the utilities and running Ping. I did this and shutdown the computer and returned a few hours later and voila...my program now works...I don't know which worked, but thank you everyone for your help. I've learned a few things in the process. I sure hope this doesn't happen again....it brings back horrible PC memories that I am trying to forget.
