TS3276 changing gmail password in Apple mail

I would like to change my gmail password in Apple mail. I was able to chage the gmail password on the goggle web site but it the same password was not accepted in Apple Mail.

Problem solved, I deleted the 2 step verification in google and my password was accepted in Apple mail.
NOW
When I installed the last mailbox, I noted a lot of "Mail Activity" and several hundred messages were incoming. In my mailboxes, I see the names of the mailboxes but there is no numbers next to them indicating the number of emails in the box. I also see that there are about 200 junk emails, several of then are not junk
Any suggestions. Hopefully the screen shot comes thru

Until yesterday I was getting mail through my gmail acount on Apple Mail. I am now not getting any email. No settings have been changed, using a valid password. Any thoughts?

I found the following advice at: http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/230/Common+issues+with+Apple+Mail#gs/not-rec eiving-email
Not receiving email
Once in a while, your Mail.app (sometimes referred to as "Apple Mail" or "Mac Mail"), stops receiving new mail. You may be able to verify that you are getting new mail via webmail, another email client or computer, or even via a mobile phone. When this happens, the fix is extraordinarily easy!
Here's how: From inside the Mail.app, click the Mailbox menu (see Figure 1):
Choose "take all accounts offline", and wait 10 seconds.
Choose "take all accounts online".
Figure 1: Follow these steps to refresh your Mail application.
You should begin seeing your new mail flow into your inbox.
It worked!

HT1277 I can't seem to get gmail from my apple mail account. I have removed the account and added it, but it says I have the wrong password. I close gmail and get in just fine. What's up?

I can't seem to get gmail from my apple mail account. I have removed the account and added it, but it says I have the wrong password. I close gmail and get in just fine. What's up?

I meant that I sign out, sign back in ok. Ergo, I know my password. Someone here on the support page (you?) told me the culprit is the 2 step verification process which I had on. That makes a lot of sense as Apple mail won't get a code thereby jamming up the process. I could not even start a new account until I took that 2 step process off. Everything fine now thank you.

I'm unable to connect my Gmail accounts to Apple Mail.

All - I've been working on this for hours.
All I want to do is connect my gmail accounts to Apple Mail. I'm running a new Macbook Air w Mountain Lion, Apple Mail 6.5. I can access the accounts on my ipad and iphone. I've spent hours reading forums and help areas.
Mail repeatedly asks for my password. In the account settings it does not save my password.
I've gotten the message that Mail cannot connect to Google imap server, but I do not believe this is a "timing" issue
Here's what I've tried:
Apple Side:
- Tried adding and deleting accounts several times within mail application
- tried using System Preferences > Mail/Contacts etc.
- Changed imap.gmail.com to imap.google.com
- changed to custom dedicated port for outgoing mail (587)
- closed and relaunched Mail
- Rebooted and safe rebooted computer
- set up and deleted accounts
- turned off gmail on phone and ipad
Google Side:
- Enabled IMAP
- Not using 2 step verification
- Checked Captcha

If you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate an application-specific password in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password.

HT201342 Changed gmail password and now icloud email disappeared? How do I get access old email?

Changed gmail password and since then Icloud email disappeared! No sure how to retrieve or access Icloud email now! It use to appear under mailboxes but now
It is empty! How do we access or retrieve Icloud email?
Now sure how changing anything in Google would affect Apple and Icloud functions!
Thanks

The only thing I did was I went to the Apple.com , logged in and changed my primary e-mail since I will be losing the old email soon ( I have a different job). I said update info and verified the email was correct. I just went to settings on icloud and logged out and tried to log in and now it won't take anything. I don't even know now which e-mail they want the primary one or recovery, it won't take any of the 3. Not sure what else to try at this point, I guess I can't buy any more music.

I have updated my iOS and now my hotmail will not verify my password through apple mail app. I have reset password - tried new password and old password and it still gives me password incorrect. Hotmail works fine on Mac. Has anyone had this difficulty

I have updated my iOS and now my hotmail will not verify my password through apple mail app. I have reset password - tried new password and old password and it still gives me password incorrect. Hotmail works fine on Mac. Has anyone had this difficulty and been able to resolve it?

Did you try deleting the mail account, then adding it back? I've read a lot of times that is what needs to happen in order for it to work properly.

Gmail settings with Apple Mail

Hello,
I have some problems in configuring the Gmail settings for Apple Mail.
Following the instructions on the Google site, under Settings->Mailbox rules I have first of all unchecked everything apart form junk. Please check the enclosed image where I show my Google mailbox settings (sorry it is in Italian but the order is the same as in the English version).
Please find below the folders view of my Apple mail following above configuration. As you can see, there are two trash folders, one on the Mac and one IMAP. But when I delete one message, it does not move in either two and it does remain on "all mail" folder.
I simply would like to make deleted messages move into a trash folder that I can empty when I need, in order to get rid of them.
Can anyone please advise, how to properly set Mail? Than you so much, daniele

I did try it recently and it worked for me. Did you type “recent:” in the User Name field or in the Email Address field? It should be in the User Name, which is what is used for logging in. The Email Address is used only to determine what should appear in the From header of messages sent from that account and is irrelevant otherwise...

GMAIL Pop and Apple Mail 4.2: Doesn't Download all New Mail at Once

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone encountered this issue. I currently use GMAIL and am popping my mail onto my Mac Mail 4.2. Everything seems to be working fine except that when I download new mail, it downloads it in small chunks. It doesn't grab all the new mail all at once.
So for example: I check GMAIL web and I know I have 10 new mail messages.
When I click "Get Mail" in the Mail app, I get 3 new messages. I click on "Get Mail" again, and then it gets 4 new messages. And then I do it again, and then it gets the final 3 messages.
Is there a reason why it does this? Is this a GMAIL config or Apple mail config issue?
Thanks

First of all, confirm that you have set the Gmail account up as POP -- the default in Mail 4 when newly setting one up is IMAP, but POP setup can be accomplished. If the account was the result of earlier version, and merely now the result of an Upgrade Snow Leopard, then previous setup as POP should have carried over. Open Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information to confirm Account Type.
Then via browser access to your Gmail POP/IMAP settings, confirm that the appropriate Enable selections have been made.

I need to change my password for outgoing mail server but it won't let me

I Need to change my password for outgoing mail server on iPad 2 but it won't let me change it. I can't send out mail

I assume that you mean that the setting is grayed out and that is what "it won't let me" means. Have you tried selecting another SMTP server of you have another one available in the settings?

How do I change the language of Apple Mail under OS 10.8?

I want to change the language used in Apple Mail (I have a French language operating system so instead of "On Sep 3, 2012 XY wrote..." it says "A 3 Sept 2012, XY a ecrit..."
How do I change the language (for Apple Mail only)?
And as we are on the subject, is there a way to personalise the email attribution at all? Eg. to just say "XY [[email protected]] 12/03/09 12:13".
Thanks for any insights!

I have been stung by a WhatsApp scam on my email account and changed my password. All mail sent is held in the outbox with actually sending. gmail account in Google works OK. How to restore Mac mail?

I have a one year old MacBook Pro, using Yosemite OS. In my Mac mail account I use gmail. I have recently been stung by an e- mail scam using WhatsApp. When I changed my password I was able to move on with mail on my phone and laptop. I now find that all the mails I sent yesterday have got stuck in my Outbox and have not actually been sent. i have since opened up my gmail account via Google and have pasted i the messages and successfully sent from there.
How can I now restore my Mac Mail on the laptop to send my mail?
I would interested to hear views.

Hello Nicholas,
It sounds like you are suddenly unable to send email from the Mail app but can log into your webmail and send the emails without issue. I recommend you use the following article, to help figure out what the issue is, named:

All the very best,
