Trouble with deleting mail in Gmail

Before I upgraded to iOS 5 last night, when I deleted an email in gmail using the mail app on my phone, it would move it into the trash. From here I could delete it out of the trash, and it would be gone for good. Since I've updated, when I move an email to the trash and delete it, it moves it to my All Mail Folder. I don't want it to do this. Even if I go delete it back out of the All Mail folder, it will move it into the trash until I delete it from the trash and it moves it back into the All Mail folder. There seems to be no way to get rid of the message for good. I want it to be deleted permanently. I have the Archive mail setting off under the settings tab for mail, contacts and calendar. Is anyone else having this issue or know of a fix???

Since a Yahoo account can be created and accessed as a POP account only with the Mail.app on your Mac, it shouldn't matter if you delete and manually recreate the account with the Mail.app on your new Mac. This will not affect all received messages that remain on the server even if the account is deleted with the Mail.app on your other Mac, which I don't beleive it will. You can temporarily disable syncing with your MobileMe account on the other Mac before deleting and manually recreating the account with the Mail.app on your new Mac and then re-enable syncing with MobileMe on the other Mac after doing so.

How do I add a desktop link to additional email accounts? I have one email account as my safari home page because it has trouble with apple mail, but I want a one-click link on my desktop that takes me to two other email accounts.

Can you set up a rule in your old account to forward mail to your new account and then delete it from the old account?

PC T'bird users having trouble with my Mail e-mail with attachments

Lately a couple of co-workers have had bizarre troubles with e-mail I've sent them with attachments. I'm using Mail on a Mac (10.5.8), they're using Thunderbird on PCs. When I've sent them attachments ("Windows-friendly," attached at end of e-mail), they haven't been able to e-mail me via Reply . . . their font is changed to white on white. Occasionally their whole application will hang, and one person had to do a hard reboot. Only other relevant detail I have is that the mail I send them originates as Stationery, and some of the text is colored. I'm currently working to narrow down the variables, but if that "white on white" issue rings a bell immediately to anyone, I'd be very curious to hear about it.
Mucho thanko.
Rob

After a series of tests with the Thunderbird users, we've established the problem was not:
Mail/Thunderbird incompatibility
related to Mail's stationery
related to styled text
only because of attachments
only because of PDF attachments
Both users had the trouble after I forwarded PDFs to them from two different outside suppliers. So far, my theory is that there was something about those particular files. After five run-throughs where the co-workers had no problems with e-mail from me, I now want to replicate the problem, but (understandably) they're not eager to lose their work time to do it. I'll post more as I learn more.
Thanks, BDAqua for the ideas about blank lines around the attachment.

TS3276 I have installed OS X Mavericks on macbook pro, macbook air & iMac but I am having terrible trouble with apple Mail. I need to take all accounts online frequently OR worse I have to quit mail and restart computer. Is anyone else having problems?

I have installed OS X Mavericks on macbook pro, macbook air & iMac but I am having terrible trouble with apple Mail. I need to take all accounts online frequently OR worse I have to quit mail and restart computer. Is anyone else having problems?

I just checked to see if the update to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 solved any of the issues outlined in my previous post, and to my dismay, nothing has changed -- all of the previous problems persist.
My iMac (8) -- it's renamed itself eight times since the recent troubleshoot with the Apple tech rep -- shows up as a shared device in Finder on my MacBook Pro, but when I click on it, I cannot establish a connection using "Connect As". So I've attempted to connect using the menu "Go/Connect to Server...", using both (alternately) the iMac's name and IP address, to no avail. I get a message which reads: "There was a problem connecting to the server 'Peter's iMac (8)'. This server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
Here's what I know:
The server -- Peter's iMac (8) does exist;
The server -- Peter's iMac (8) is available at this time;
The server name -- Peter's iMac (8) -- is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
The server IP address is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
The network connection is active when I attempt to connect.
I'm convinced the problems stem directly from the OS X Yosemite update. None of this was ever remotely an issue in the previous OS X's -- any of them. This is maddening! What can be done? Apple?? Anyone???

Hello, I have trouble with apple Mail 7 in Maverick.

Hello! I have trouble with Apple Mail 7 in Maverick. I use account type = Exchange. The proble m is that I keep loosing email in my inbox and also in my sent box. They then have to be rebuilt, and because I have lots of emails in the server, it takes several days to rebuild. This never happened in the previous version of apple mail that I used (snow leopard). Any suggestions to fix this problem? Thanks

Cant get help with this issue on Apple Support, so I have to go to the Apple store to the Genius Bar to get assistance. All the help issues are so technical in their jargon, that I cannot understand how to fix the issue.

Trouble with e-mail since switching to gmail accounts

Moved from my cable internet service providers e-mail to gmail. Problems with my mac os x mail ever since. Must've been something I did along the way. Followed the instructions for "access a Gmail account in OS X Mail 2 Using POP". I'm starting to wonder if I should've followed the instructions under the heading "Access a Gmail account in Mac OS X Mail Using POP" or "Access a Gmail Account in Mac OS X Using IMAP." Based on some of the info I've been reading I'm wondering if the IMAP option is the better choice because I don't get all of my E-Mails on the Mac but I do get all of them on my Blackberry and my windows xp machine.
HELP!!!!

So, what would you use if you had several computers your email came to?
IMAP for certain.
Lastly, will IMAP work on Verizon's Blackberry.
Not certain not having a BB, bit I+ suspect so.
although that might have something to do with some of the other problems I'm having with the email on the Mac.
Let's work on that angle.
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

IPhoto: trouble with sending photos via gmail.

For some reasons, for about one or two months ago start having troubles with sending photos from iPhoto via gmail.
It used to work perfectly, but now refuses to send photos. Pop up message says that there are some trouble with accessing accounts.
Once I restart my computer it works well again.

Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

Sudden trouble with Apps/Mail/Notifications

Hello everyone, I was hoping you guys might know whats up with my Touch 5 and why it's acting weird. I've had it for a about a year now and never had any real problems with it until now. Also, I'm not particularly tech-savvy, so if these problems sound like part of a more obvious problem, let me know because I probably haven't thought of it.
Anyways, I'm having trouble with a couple of apps (Facebook and Text+), as well as the standard email app. When I open them, all I get is a sort of blank page in the style of each app (Facebook has a blue bar at the top with a blank page, text+ is just green, etc). Sometimes the apps crash and return me to my home screen, sometimes they just stay locked in that sort of "loading screen" until I exit via the home button. I thought I'd delete/re-download the apps, but when I press the "X" on the app icon, the apps just continue to shake and I can't get them to stop. The power/home buttons do nothing, I can't swipe the screen, nothing. Eventually it just goes black for a second and then reboots on the lock screen without deleting the app (so back to square one, basically). I also tried to figure it out in the app/mail area of the settings, but clicking either app/mail in the settings just makes it lock up again until I press the home button, so that's another dead end.
The other problem I've noticed over the past day is that my notifications haven't been working as well in the apps that DO work, like twitter/KIK/snapchat. They still come through when the iPod is in sleep mode, but they usually take a minute to actually appear in the app (particularly twitter). I didn't know if this could be related to the problems I mentioned above.
So that's it. I'm open to any sort of help you may be able to offer. I can deal without Facebook and Text+ for a while, but the Email thing is troubling, and I'm worried that this is just the start of a bigger problem of some kind. Anyways, thanks in advance for any help, I look forward to your suggestions.

How can it be a bug, when you use the test button it works?
Have you got the [email protected] in the schedule for the user?

Trouble With E-Mail Notifications

I'm having some problems getting e-mails to my pager. I have two e-mails set up:
[email protected]
[email protected]
When I test the two e-mail addresses, I receive the e-mail. However, when an alert is encountered, email is only sent to the first e-mail. I deleted the first e-mail, but I still can't get the e-mail.
Is the a bug perhaps have trouble with ".page".
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Trouble with Apple Mail retrieving Yahoo Mail (OS 10.10-Yosemite)

I recently installed Yosemite and Apple/Mac Mail will not work or retrieve my yahoo mail. I can receive my gmail just fine. I've checked all of my settings, used the "mail doctor", taken the account offline and then online again, rebuilt the mailbox and tried to synchronize the account. Nothing seems to work. Oddly enough the program seems to work intermittently (it worked for a few days when I first installed Yosemite then stopped retrieving my yahoo mail and again randomly over this past weekend, but is now back to not pulling any yahoo email). I can read my yahoo emails online just fine, fyi. I would love it if anyone had any suggestions.
PS: I've also downloaded another mail client, called Postbox, which retrieves my yahoo mail just fine, but the program is severely limited and very quirky (search function doesn't work well, difficult to view and arrange your email without it having problems, etc.).

jgallag/Larry:
I, too, have been having this problem with yahoo mail not loading into mac mail. It has been a persistent problem that I have had to close my mail program and reopen to get emails to come in - this was way before yosemite. But after upgrading to yosemite, I've had more troubling issues. I have 2 yahoo mail accounts, a primary account and a special use account. Right after loading the new upgrade, the special use account was unable to send emails via mac mail. I could send them from the yahoo server online, and from my iphone, but not from my laptop (mac air). Two days ago, emails stopped loading into the mac mail program primary yahoo account. I could send emails, but I could not receive them. I tried all of the things you also did and suggested, to no avail. I have found that shutting the system down and rebooting was enough in the past to "wake up" the yahoo account/mac mail account interface, but not this time. This time, it took moving the laptop to another state and another server to refresh the connection and permit emails to load (I headed out for a business trip today, and emails came in when I reached the hotel). I did not turn off my computer, just put it in sleep mode during the flight, but apparently a change of scenery is what it wanted. It would be nice if Larry or someone could either fix this problem or help us navigate through it more efficiently - two days is too long to not load any emails.

I am having trouble with yahoo mail, very slow to send never used to be this way started before iOs5 update

I am having trouble with mail, yahoo has started to have a problem sending, slow or not at all started before latest update, help

I noticed this at one point and what I did, which worked, was to delete the mailbox from my iPad, then reinstall it. Give it a try and see if it helps you as well.

Trouble with e-mail

I've noticed that I'm having trouble with my .mac/.me account in that I can't seem to send messages anymore. We haven't changed service providers or modems or routers...and it's a problem on the imac and the ibook (4 year differential in age). I've checked all my ports, etc., and I can receive mail but can't send it. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi, Amy, and welcome to the Discussions.
This forum is for old, pre-G3 Apple hardware and so probably not the best place for you question. I'd suggest you ask in the MobileMe forums. You'll be more likely to get help there. When you repost, make sure to include information about what you're using to get and send your mail; the Mail application that comes with Mac OS X, a web browser, or something else (and if so, what).
Regards.

Having Trouble With E-mails That Involve Animation

This is too weird. When I receive an e-mail that has animation in it it comes through freeze framed in Mail. It does not matter if it is in my .Mac account or Verizon account. Just for the heck of it I forwarded it to myself using the Verizon account and opened it in Safari. I also did the same thing with my .mac account. I opened it on the web. Bingo, I had animation. I am also having trouble with WMV's. Why can I not get any animation in Mail? Is there something I am doing wrong? any way to correct this?

OK, from the sound of your post, you have a limited knowledge about email. Let me see if I can help. I would guess that you have a Windows machine that you have used in the past. Your email address must be a "pop" address. That means that your internet service provider has a server where your mail is sent. This is different than a web mail address, that is accessed remotely with a web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari. You must then be using an email program, such as Outlook Express, to go get the email onto your local machine. Any email program can do this. Open up the accounts tab in Outlook Express, and write down the settings. There will be one for the incoming server, and one for the outgoing server. Now, on your Mac, you can use the email program provided, such as Mac Mail, and put the settings in there. You can now send and receive to your Mac using your supplied email address. You can use another program such as Thunderbird to do this if you want. You don't have to use Mac Mail.
Getting your old email off of the Windows computer is a bit harder, so hopefully you don't need to do that. But if you do, I can direct you on how to do that also.
