Receive instant gmail messages

I've read that Yahoo has an instant push application for receiving emails. I have a gmail account, and I have to constantly press my mail folder to get new messages. Is they something I can do to receive instant email messages?
Thanks

Push access for received messages is supported with the following email accounts.
An Exchange account accessed via ActiveSync.
A Yahoo account created with the Yahoo account preset.
A MobileMe account.
A Gmail account can be accessed as a POP, IMAP, or Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app. Visit Google/Gmail's website for creating and accessing the account as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app, or do a Google search for this. Accessing the account as an Exchange account also provides the ability to sync your Google online contacts and calendar events over the air with the account on your iPhone.

Receiving duplicate Gmail messages (IMAP)

When receiving messages from my Gmail account in Mail, I receive duplicates. One copy is at the top of the left-hand column under the heading "Inbox." the other is on the bottom of the same column under "Gmail>All Mail." So, when I receive an email, I get the notification that I've two unread messages in my account.
Also, when I receive messages that go straight to the "Spam" folder through Gmail, I receive a notification that Mail has received a new message. In other words, I wake up every day to 15 messages. But 14 of those so happen to be spam.
Can someone help me with adjusting the settings for the issues I've listed above?

I asked this question in the Google help forums and got this ANSWER (which WORKS!):
"You can hide All Mail from Apple Mail and other IMAP clients, if you enable the Advanced IMAP Controls lab."

Hi,
There can be many reasons why the Login is "up the creek".
Any break in the network at your end whilst logged in will cause an issue.
A sort of discrepancy between what iChat thinks the state should be and what the server thinks.
If they don't agree the server will refuse to accept.
A Crash at the server end which does not log you out properly will also do it.
Any file at any time can be come corrupted.
Luckily with the iChat .plists they are recreated if removed with an iChat Restart.
If it were AIM you can also get your Account Suspended and this will not log you in.
(It tends to happen from Chat rooms where people notify AIM about bad behaviour (as they see it) and you have to apply to get Un-suspended).
Most of the big IM services use multiple servers.
Sometimes these go out of Sync.
In the case of AIM this happens when they remove Old unused Screen Names from people's Buddy List prior to making them available for re-registration. I am not sure if this happens at Google.
You seem to be talking about an account that has worked at Work and having new computer at home.
As I mentioned the Priority thing you have not said that it has coincided with the new computer logging in (this will kick the work Computer out of Google whether you are logged in on the Web Mail page or in iChat)
IN addition to that iChat stays partially logged in for Off Line IMs
This is done in the background by a support app called iChatAgent
If your Computer is ON but ichat is not started people can still send you Messages.
Instead of saving these on the server until you login iChat will start up.
Depending if the home Mac is effecting the Work Login it may be holding sway over your Login.
Using your girlfriend's login may have booted her Off Line where she normally uses the name/login.
The AIM Side can be specifically set to allow Multiple Logins and therefore NOT allow them. If this happens you get a warning and messages to do something about it.
You do not get these in any Jabber or Google Login as the Priority setting is supposed to take care of it.
If the Login works at the Web Mail Login and on one computer then the .plist on the work computer is the most likely issue.
There is a small chance that a Corrupt Buddy Pic (Home Folder/Library/Caches/com.apple.iChat/Pictures) may be the cause.
Set this folder to icon view and also use the Finder's View Menu > Show View Options and select icon view.
This should show all pics as their icon.
Check that all display properly.
At this point I would try a COMBO version update install of the last Update you did over what you have.
This often corrects hard to trace things
The 10.5.8 COMBO is here

Apple Mail no longer receiving Gmail messages

Hi
When I upgraded to Mavericks over Christmas I could no longer send or receive messages via my Gmail account. I recreated it and it worked fine until 21 January when I stopped receiving any messages. I can send them OK, the Connection Doctor says "Connection and login to server succeeded" for the Gmail SMTP account and the same for the Google IMAP account. I have 3 non-Gmail accounts which are using the Gmail SMTP as the outgoing server and they work fine. I downloaded the Airmail mail app and set up my Gmail account and it's sending and receiving messages with no problems.
I read on a forum that rebuilding my inbox might help, and now I've got no Gmail messages at all! This is driving me crazy, any help would be greatly appreciated.

In System Preferences > Notification Center, select Mail in the left hand column, and check the box, "Badge app icon" toward the bottom on the right.

Can't receive Gmail messages on Thunderbird + Avast

Finally... SOLUTION!!!!
Hey guys. After being a loyal iPhone user for almost 5yrs, I finally switched to (dark) Adnroid side and I love it! I was stressing out over this very issue for the longest time. My wife still has an iPhone 5 and I could never receive her text messages on my Galaxy Note 3. After struggling with using the aforementioned fixes, nothing worked. After a week, I was considering returning my awesome new galaxy and just getting the iPhone 5s.
Finally, my wife figured out a solution so simple we stared at each other dumbfounded. It's as simple as this:
1. I went to my wife's iPhone and went to Contacts and selected my contact info
2. I scrolled to my phone number. It was filed as "iPhone." Now change that to simply "mobile"
3. Now send a text from iPhone to Galaxy. You should now be able to receive texts on the Galaxy from the iPhone without it trying to send it as an iMessage.
Alternate (more frustrating way)
After the iPhone user (ios7) tries to send a text and it comes back as undelivereable, select the exclamation point next to the returned text, then click "send as text message." this will force it to send the message as an SMS text as opposed to an iMessage. This will work, but you have to go through this song and dance everytime.
I hope this works for you guys- it did for me, and I'm happy I'm keeping my new phone!!

Gmail & Mail 3.0: Sudden new problems--can't receive or delete messages

For the last two days I've had very odd problems with Mail. They seemed to start out of the blue; the only thing new I've done in this time frame is get an iPhone, which I set up with imap/gmail (I installed Leopard long before these problems started). For a couple of days I was unable to send messages. Then suddenly last night I was able to send but now I can't receive or delete messages. Does anyone know what may be the problem and what to do? Thanks so much.

I'll add my sad story...
Since upgrading, one email account will not receive mail - says the server reject my password, although I can retrieve my mail from the web. It is a POP account, although I tried setting up another with the same settings but as an IMAP account, with no luck. Outgoing mail is fine and other accounts, such as .mac and gmail seem to work. Tried recreating the account as a new user (so no old preferences messing things up) and from a new mail program (Thunderbird), but still rejects my password. I will try from an 10.4 machine today to see if I can get my mail.

When my buddy list comes up, i try to double click my buddies name to start a chat and nothing happens. i could receive instant message but cant start my own or reply. someone please help!

I have a macbook pro and on accident deleted ichat but reinstalled it using the cd, when my buddy list comes up, i try to double click my buddies name to start a chat and nothing happens. i could receive instant message but cant start my own or reply. someone please help!

Hi,
DId you download and Install the COMBO version of the last Update that you did ?
iChat on the Install Disk is likely to be several versions behind where your OS has been Updated to.
It needs to Match the OS level.
iChat Updates come in the OS Updates.
You need to run the Updater manually as Software Updates keeps records of what it has done and thinks iChat is up to date.
If you are on Snow Leopard then the COMBO version of 10.6.7 is here
If you are on Leopard then the COMBO for 10.5.8 is here
Googling Mac OS X 10.x.x COMBO where x.x is the version you are up to will generally find the link to the right page if you are at a different OS version.

Sync gmail messages between outlook 2003 on my hom...

Hi everyone,
I've been reading a lot of posts on this forum and other pages on the net, but I couldn't find anything similar to my problem.
I have a E51 with the latest version of PC suite; and I am using Outlook 2003 on a WinXP SP2 machine.
PC suite does not give me the possibility to sync messages with Outlook (if it does, then it doesn't work for me). It only syncs calendar items, notes and contacts, which are all of secondary importance for me.
Of course, this is an enterprise phone, but I am not using it with my work computer. I use it with my gmail personal address. I got the phone set up to get my emails through IMAP and my computer through POP3.
What I would like is to be able to receive and send messages from my phone while on the go and still have the possibility to retrieve all email conversations when I download my messages with Outlook.
Unfortunately, although this works fine for received emails (downloading them with my phone will not erase them from my inbox and I will still be able to download them onto my computer), it is not the case with sent emails. These are stored in my phone memory as well as on gmail webmail under sent items, but they won't be set as part of the conversation in the inbox and will therefore not download onto my PC. And even if I move them manually to the inbox, they will be moved there in the webmail interface but Outlook will still not download them.
I would like to be able to save the history of some email exchanges from that particular gmail mailbox onto the computer (of course I don't need the whole history on my phone), and I find it a pain to have to go through the phone web browser to read and write my mail, so I would be really greatful if someone could tell me how to do it.
I could also change my email client to be something else than outlook if it makes it possible, but I don't think this issue is down to Outlook.
Thanks in advance for your help, I'll take any lead on how to do it or what to install...
Cheers

Hi e61drc,
Thank you for your answer! I'll try that as soon as I get home and post to let you know how happy I am!

How to use "On My Mac" folders for gmail messages on two MacBooks

I am currently using a MacBook and a MacBook Air simultaneously and would like to shift email messages from my gmail account to "on my mac" folders on both computers because I receive message of the same topic from different email accounts. However, as soon as I move a gmail message from my IMAP account to an "on my mac" folder it will be removed from the server and it will not download on my other Mac.
The only solution I found is switching the gmail IMAP account to a POP account and tell the server to keep all messages so I can download them on both Macs and move them into an "on my mac" folder. But Mail 4.3 will not allow me to create a gmail POP account, it automatically assumes I want to create an IMAP account as I tap the "+" button in setting->accounts and enter my details.
How do I tell Mail 4.3 that I want to create a gmail POP account and not an IMAP account?
Is there maybe another solution to my problem other than changing to a POP account?
Thanks a lot for your support!

Hello tjlj
Try just exporting out the mailboxes from the old computer, putting them on a flash drive and then importing them in using the import feature in Mail. If you are not using Lion, the steps to export are still the same.

Why am I receiving the "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error message and how do I fix it?

Why am I receiving the "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error message and how do I fix it?

I am so upset. Please read my messages from my postings. This has nothing to do with SIM Card, Hard Reset, Apps, Google Gmail Account, nothing. I have gone thru all of this and NOTHING has fixed this. I went to the store today and spoke to the manager on duty. He said he had to try and duplicate the problem before he could help me. I showed him "screen captures" I did, told him it's out here on the board, etc. etc. Needless to say I ended up coming home with the same phone, "he" erased the phone and started over again. Well guess what, it's not a error with "MY" Gmail account being corrupted because if that is the case Mrs. Hayden14 has a bad Gmail account too. If you guessed it, the phone just crashed again! I was able this time to capture a report with ALL the history in it and saved screen captures to PROVE to him this is not a joke. Even the report says "Crash". This time it was something else I don't even or ever have used. I have also wasted over a day , yes a full work day on this without question.
I have had to get the run around for the last day. This is totally ridiculous, including them putting me on hold for 55 min. Oh, that's another funny story. Anyways, tomorrow morning I am going to the Verizon store one last and final time and I hope they decided to do the right thing and give me a phone that does not crash and works. It would be handy at work for me, especially where I work at. I hope hope hope someone listens to and helps me. I would love for them to see me walk in, take my phone and say to me were going to get you another phone, hand it to me, see if it works and prove it's the device. I don't hear anyone having this issue on other phone types so sounds like its the phone type.
I have had 3 phones now in the matter of 2 weeks. I am sure the FedEx charges will add up to a cost of a new phone at some point and start to outbalance your requirement to give me the same phone when it has the same problem.
Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow.

Receiving duplicate 'Sent' messages in Inbox

When I send a message via iPhone a copy is saved in my 'Sent' box. However, a few minutes later I receive the same message in my Inbox from myself (even though I addresses it TO someone else). It's frustrating receiving a duplicate from myself.... Does anyone know how to fix this?

Bug: No Cursor Focus with Instant Preview Message Replies

When you receive an Instant Preview Message and click on this notification (not shortcut reply but click on the notification itself for bbm or text messages) this brings you into the Hub to reply to that message.
The cursor focus is now in the reply field blinking however the typing focus is not here. You must explicitly click in the reply field to re-set the cursor focus. Now you can type to reply.
Is this a known bug? Is there a fix?

cor-el, Thank you for the quick response. However, I am not a techie by any stretch and am totally disabled. Your answer basically made no sense to me, sorry. I also have something called Session Manager, in this case irrelevant as my FF page never stayed up long enough for me to do anything even to click on Restore.
I have in the meantime, simply reverted back to an installation of 3.6.8 and everything is working fine right now. I hope others will find benefit from your response as it is way too deep for me to venture.
Thank you again for your response.
