Two gmail accounts don't work in Mail??

Hi. I have two gmail accounts for Mail 4. When I compose a new message, I have the option of which account I want to send it from and from which server, again, both gmail servers, smtp.gmail.com, but named differently. However, it seems I can only use one server for both accounts but that means the message will always be sent from that address which is linked to that named outgoing server! So if I send a message using my uni email address but the personal outgoing server, it'll say from my personal address! One is personal and the other is for uni. What do I have to do so that I can use both gmail servers? Thanks in advance people!

Add the SMTP a second time, but but with another name and now Authenticate it with the second address. It is the SMTP that changes the From to be the address which was used to Authenticate it.

  • Setting Up Two Gmail Accounts in Mail...

    I'm setting up two gmail accounts in my Mail on my Mac Book Pro. One account connects fine, but the other does not. Preferences and settings appear to be the same...
    Can anyone suggest how I could fix this?

    Did you enabled IMAP and POP access from Gmail's settings? Open gmail.com and go to settings / forwarding and POP IMAP and make sure everything is ok.
    Let me know, bye

  • Using two gmail accounts in Mac Mail client, smtp server issue

    I've set up two gmail accounts (one personal, one from my job) in Mac Mail. The personal account is set up via POP, the job account is IMAP. I receive mail into each account with no problem. However Mac Mail won't allow me to set up two separate smtp.gmail.com servers (one for each account). If I edit my SMTP server list and try to change either account individually, it changes BOTH accounts. So I can receive with no problem, but can only send mail from both accounts from ONE account (which ever one I've programed). Is there a way to set up two SMTP severs through gmail (one for each account)?

    I have two separate ones set for password authentication to two different accounts.
    In your smtp server list, how many are listed? If only one, click the add button and set it up for the other account.

  • *** Sent emails from GMAIL account appear in Inbox of´MAIL` ***

    I just opend an account with MAIL.
    The trasnfer of my emails worked, but all emails (received and sent ones) from my Gmail account appear in the inbox of mail.
    All sent ones appear only in the sent box, if I sent them from the mail programm. If I sent any email from my Gmail account the always be transferd all in the inbox of the mail programm.
    I don´t havy any clue what to do. I already checkes all settings - I guess...
    I need assistance - please!
    p.s. it´s a pop account, if this matters...

    This is intended behavior with Gmail POP access,
    however weird it may seem. Gmail POP access does not
    work as a normal POP mail server should (points 4 and
    5 below are relevant to your "problem"):
    1. Messages downloaded by any conventional POP
    mail client are marked as downloaded at the
    server, and no longer available to either the
    same or any other mail client.
    2. To make already downloaded Gmail messages
    available for POP access again, you must log into
    your Gmail account with a web browser and re-enable
    POP downloading for all your messages, which will
    cause everything (and I mean everything) still
    there to be downloaded again.
    3. Any "Remove copy from server" account settings in
    Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced have
    absolutely no effect on the messages stored on the
    server. The reason is that, after being downloaded,
    those messages are no longer available to any mail
    client, not even to the same client that has just
    downloaded them, not even for deleting them or
    checking whether they are still there.
    4. Messages created and sent using the web interface
    will be downloaded by your POP mail client as if they
    were incoming messages. You can set up a rule in Mail
    to automatically route those messages to the
    appropriate Sent mailbox (or to any other mailbox for
    that matter) if that's what you want. Although this
    may seem weird, it's good because it allows archiving
    all messages locally in Mail, regardless of how they
    were sent -- as long as you don't access the same
    Gmail account with more than one mail client, that
    is.
    David, thanks for your reply. Yes, point 4 seems to be relevant for my problem. How does it work to "set up a rule in Mail to automatically route those messages to the Sent Mailbox" (in Mail). I want my messages downloaded from my Gmail account to be ordered in the Inbox and Outbox in Mail (like it is ordered in Gmail). The messages which I sent from the gmail account should not appear in the Inbox of Mail...
    5. Messages created and sent using a POP mail client
    such as Mail are also treated as if they were
    incoming messages for POP purposes, just as in 4.
    What prevents them from being downloaded is that
    Gmail marks them as already downloaded immediately.
    They would, however, be downloaded if Gmail settings
    were changed as described in 2 above.

  • I have two gmail accounts and firefox made me choose one and locked me out of the other. i can't get access to the other and i need it. how to i undo what firefox did?

    For the first time Firefox made me choose between my two gmail accounts: lbalisle @gmail.com and [email protected] I was in Vovision so i checked that and now I can't get into my [email protected] account.
    This is taking a lot of time to deal with when I don't have it. I have emails at [email protected] i need to get to. Please help! Linda Balisle

    You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

  • Two gmail accounts set up in outlook thru google sync. how can i see both of them in reading dashboard

    Two gmail accounts set up in outlook thru google sync. how can i see both of them in reading dashboard. I want to see bothe accounts with all folders on dashboard

    Hi,
    Since the issue is on Outlook through Google Apps Sync, I don't have the environment to test it for you, the support that I can provide is limited.
    Anyway, I still want to know, what did you refer to by "dashboard"? Do you mean the Navigation Pane on the left side?

  • HT201320 How can I setup two gmail accounts on my iPad with iOS6?

    Only one of my gmail accounts will send or receive mail. Why?

    You should be able to add the email account to the Mail app like you add any account.
    You can also go to Settings>iClould and change the iCloud account but you can't have both account on at the same time.

  • Iphone4 - Two Gmail Accounts - Outgoing server does not work anymore

    I started using my private Gmail account on my Iphone and everything worked fine (having found help in Youtube videos about how to set up Ingoing/Outgoing server).
    Now I added my Gmail account from work (ends on .nl instead of .com - Dont know if that matters). I can now access both inboxes but I cannot send emails from BOTH accounts. I then deleted the new account but still cannot send emails from my first account anymore.
    I found that under "settings->Mail,Contacts,Calendars->Gmail Account->AccountInfo->OutgoingMailserver SMTP" I now have a primary server which seems to connect to my first account and several "other SMTP server" which contain either details of the first account or the second account (which I actually deleted aleady).
    Should I delete those additional servers? How can I do this? Does anyone have experience with this kind of issue?
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    I did put all the informations and still it does not work telling that these informations are not right!!!!
    HELP please

    On the left, you should have a list of keychains and categories. If not, Select Show Keychains from the View menu.
    Select the login keychain and All Items in the Category.
    In the search field, type something that will help find your  account keychains, like "gmail."
    Select the keychain for your email account password and delete it.

  • 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.
