Safari wpn't retreve mail from Gmail

I have a problem. Safari will not retreve incomming mail from Gmail. The mail appears in the Gmail mail window but not in Safari. I get an error; Connection failed
The server error encountered was your account is not enabled for POP access. Please visit your gmail settings page and enable your account for POP access
I have very carefully followed the setup proceedure at the Gmail.com site. http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13275 Actually, I had my wife who is a programmer watch over my shoulder to double check. I can send email from Gmail but can not receive Right now I have two mail accounts, Comcast and Gmail. Should incomming messages from both accounts appeat in the same Safari window? If not where? I even went back to Gmail and checked my pass word.
Thanks Bob

Don't you mean that you can't seem to receive Gmail via Mail.app? If you can access your account in Safari, then there's nothing wrong with that, but if you can't retrieve via Mail after setting it up, that's something else.
Are you sure you checked your Gmail settings? You need to enable POP access in Gmail before you can retrieve your mail via Mail.app
Hope this helps,

How can I move mail from Gmail to another account?

Mail.app in Mavericks is incompatible with Gmail. I use Gmail. I have about 2GB of mail, most of it in a few dozen archive folders, stored on Gmail, and (I think) duplicated locally on my Mac Mini.
I think my best recourse is to switch to an email service provider that conforms to the IMAP standard (which Gmail does not). Assuming I find one, I will have both accounts, Gmail and the new one, in Mail.app. How can I move the mail from Gmail to the other account?
In Mail.app in Mavericks, All Mail must be marked to show as a folder, and when I move a message from a folder in Gmail it will still be in the All Mail folder.
When all folders are empty, including the Inbox, can I be sure that every message has been moved to the new account, even though every message is still in the All Mail folder?

--> mine's working fine. I know there are issues, but it should work
I think my best recourse is to switch to an email service provider that conforms to the IMAP standard (which Gmail does not).
--> yes, it would be nice if they adhered to standards. That said, mine works great. So far.
Assuming I find one, I will have both accounts, Gmail and the new one, in Mail.app. How can I move the mail from Gmail to the other account?
--> If all you want to do is keep your history, make a local folder on your mac and drag all the mail messages there (both se4nt and incoming). I am not sure what will happen if you later drag those into the new Xmail account
When all folders are empty, including the Inbox, can I be sure that every message has been moved to the new account, even though every message is still in the All Mail folder?
--> Dont look in "all mail". Open your inbox and look at each individual inbox.
Good luck,. But first, try to fix your account.

How to import ALL MAIL from Gmail to OSX Mail?

I am trying to migrate my mail system over to OSX Mail from Google Mail, but I can't seem to make "All Mail" show up as an option in OSX Mail, even though I have the folder checked in the Gmail settings to share with outside apps. I am on Yosemite and a MacBookPro.
How are others switching to OSX Mail from Gmail?
Thanks for your help!

You open your email - edit - then select each email to delete.
If you have an imap account you can delete it from the server and it will reflect on yoru phone.

All mail from gmail and not default mail Help!

Hello all, new boy here. Just upgraded to 3Gs
transfered everythimg fine.
My problem is: all the mail I send appears to be from
my gmail account.
When really I want it to go from my default
account (telefonica ) I have two seperate telefonica
accounts, a hotmail, a yahoo and a gmail
account. The main telefonica account is
ticked as the default but this seems to makeno difference
any help or advice would be gratefully
received! Mike T

Do you have all of those accounts on your iPhone? In order to send mail from an account, it must be set up on the iPhone. When you create a new message from within the Mail app, the sending account will be whichever account you're currently accessing, unless you tap the field with the from/cc label, then tap the from field, then choose another account from the list.
The 'default' setting only applies to email messages that are started from outside the Mail app (e.g. tapping on a clickable email address in Safari). That's stated right in the Settings.

Mail 5.2 stopped fetching mail from Gmail

I have been a fairly happy OS X Lion and Mail 5.2 user for some time now.
Gmail worked finde (IMAP) - have followed all instrucitons and recommendations.
A few days ago, Mail stopped fetching mails from the gmail server.
While this contines to work fine on my iPad (and obviously directly in gmail via Safari), it no loger seems to work on the iMac I have.
Tried restarting, repairing disk permissions, running Captcha on gmail (via Safari).
Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a fix?
Regards

I just found this solution in another thread.
It worked:
<<
If you have been or are intending to access your Gmail as an IMAP, then remove the account, and add it back again. Before adding it back, remove any SMTP referencing Gmail at Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information by clicking on the arrows beside the name of one of the SMTP and choosing Edit Server List. Highlight each that reference Gmail, and remove them. Then allow the setup of the Gmail account to automatically add the smtp.

Archive mail from Gmail

I have purchased a new mac and in setting up mail my gmail account is constantly fetching archive mail from the server. 25000 messages. I have searched and searched but can't find a way to stop it or change my archive settings. In the mean time because it's constantly looking for emails I have gone through my months worth of data in 2 days! Any advice please?

Same here; right clicking and choosing "move to" is also an option, gives you more choiche.
Updating Apple products used to be without much problems, but since Mavericks it seems that every update create a new problem!

Mail not receiving incoming mail from gmail account

I have an imac with 10.5 that has suddenly stopped accepting email in one of my gmail accounts, but still gets it from another. I synched my imac with my ibook earlier today. The ibook has the same problem accepts mail from the account that the imac doesn't etc.
Any help solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Did you select “Directory Management Service” option, if so, please make sure you configure the Central Administration application pool identity account to have the Create, delete, and manage user accounts right to the container that you specify in Active Directory.
Did you install Exchange server 2003 in your MOSS environment? If so, you should add an SMTP connector in Exchange Server, if you don’t know how to do that, you can post your issue into the following forum:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrdeploy/threads
Also, please check whether your configuration meet the following requirements, If not, correct them and check the effect.
· The application pool account for Central Administration, the logon account for the Windows SharePoint Services Timer service, and the application pool accounts for your Web applications should have the correct permissions to the e-mail drop folder.
· The domain controller running Active Directory has a Mail Exchanger (MX) entry in DNS Manager for the mail server that you plan to use for incoming e-mail.

The error message says that you don't have an outgoing mail server selected. Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and select the gmail account in the left hand panel. Next go to "Outgoing Mail Server" :
It should read smtp.gmail.com if you are using pop. If it is blank click on it and it should display whatever outgoing servers you have configured. If the only option you have is to "Edit SMTP Server List" then you need to enter the information as shown below.
These are the standard settings for gmail pop:
You will also need to set password authentication on your outgoing (SMTP) mail as shown below:

How to get sent mail from Gmail server onto my mac

I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. When configuring Mail I used POP ( I prefer it) with my Gmail account and it tediously uploaded all my received mail from the Gmail server to my mac mail program. How do I get the sent mails on the Gmail server onto my computer?

Not sure if this will work as I use IMAP. Go to Mail>Preferences>Accounts> click on mailbox behaviour, uncheck 'store sent messages on server' if it is checked. Then try a fetch mail and see if it works.

Mail did not download my sent mail from Gmail.

Reposting this question in case I originally put it in the wrong category:
Had a bit of trouble initially but eventually got my Mail account set up with my existing Gmail account and it nicely downloaded all my past incoming mail which is all in the In Box. However, I can't find my old outgoing mail. The only things I see when I click Sent are the messages sent since I started using Mail. Is there somewhere else I should be looking for them? If not, how do I go about importing them to my new computer now?
The old outgoing messages are still on my old computer, but that email client is old Eudora— is there a way to import them from the old machine to the new and make them readable with Mail?

Thank you for responding.
>Can you visit the Gmail site and see if you can download them from there?
Can you explain how would I go about doing that?
As for JustAnswer, they wanted $58 to answer my question which is money I simply don't have.
I saw the discussion you linked. He said "I figured out the solution to this problem. I simply deactivated the email and reactivated it. I guess after the updated to moutain lion that's all I needed to do."
"Deactivated the email and reactivated" — do you understand what he means?
I have done a Google search for this topic but no one seems to have this exact problem, and I've put a question up on the Google Gmail help forum with no response yet.
Do you know how I might go about just undoing the connection I've made between Mail and Gmail so I could just start fresh and hope for a better outcome the second time?

Deleting E-mails from Gmail

Hi,
I have been using Mail App on my Mac for 4 months. Since then, all what I do when I need to delete an email, is simply to press back space, and it moves the email to Trash.
Last week, I have noticed that all e-mails I have deleted are still available in All Mail. So when an Email is deleted, Mail App only removes the Label.
Is there a way I can delete emails from Gmail using Mail on Mac?
Thank a lot
Best Regards,
AMDeeb

GMail's weirdness cannot be properly dealt with by any e-mail client I'm aware of.
Microsoft Outlook on PC is compatible with Gmail's "Delete" thing.
On Mac OSX, I found an alternative to Mail App that is fully compatible with GMail, which is Thunderbird.
It is even compatible with staring emails as if you are in a web browser. Also, you can change the deleted items destination to you GMail's Trash Folder, which means that you can delete them from the server without logging from a browser.
I hope using Thunderbird will be temperer, till Apple solve GMail issue either via software update (which i doubt), or via Mac OSX Lion.
If you take the time to correctly setup Mail for GMail there is no functional difference between it and Thunderbird (as far as folder display/mapping), this is a user issue not Gmail and not MacMail.
