Unable to add GMail account... at all

Hello,
I had 2007 iMac for years that worked flawlessly, had it upgraded to Mavericks recently, no problems - had my GMail set up which was pulling down all messages without an issue.
Recently purchased new 2013 iMac with Mavericks. Used Migration Assistant to move everything from old iMac to new. Today I have discovered that my GMail account is not showing in Mail. If I go to System Preferences->Internet Accounts, GMail is there, and the Mail is checked off.... however, there is no mailbox in Mail. I have tried to delete GMail settings and re-add them again, with no avail.
If I open Mail, go to Preferences and click on "Accounts" tab, GMail is not listed there... my other email accounts are, but not GMail.
Any ideas? I am at the end of my wits. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Yes, I have installed the Apple Mail GMail Patch for Mavericks.

Thanks for the help.
I've done as you've suggested and so far it seems to be working. It's been about 30 hours now, I've drained the battery all they way down once, and when I get home this evening I'll try shutting down and switching to my backup battery just to double check that that works. Otherwise, it certainly seems as if it's a profile issue.
So, if that is the case, is it going to be possible to get my contact information that was stored on my old profile? I don't really use the calendar too much, so that's not a huge issue, but I would also like to get my paid apps back too if possible, or some sort of credit so I can buy them again.
Thanks again for the help,
Ryan
Edit: I just swapped out batteries and as expected, everything still works so does look like the profile.

Apple help!

I am unable to add hotmail account into my ipad 2. Hotmail says the problem is with apple since I can access the account in all other devices except my ipad. I need to get pass, "unable to verify my account information" Apple personnel appear helpless

I have an Ipad2 and have tried severally to re-add my hotmail account but couldn't. In collaboration with Apple personnel today (10/17/2012), we routed the Settings and General via the home page but solution appears elusive. I can't get pass "Unable to verify your account information" Hotmail feedback has it that the problem is with the iPad since I can access the hotmail account on my laptop, desktop, and smart phone, Can someone please help me in this matter.

I see you have resolved this problem but for anyone else trying to sort out their Hotmail account on their iPad try the following:
Try deleting your Hotmail account from your iPad/iPhone (making sure you can access your emails from your PC or other device as all your email history will also be deleted). Then under Settings go to 'Add an account' and click 'Other'(don't use the Hotmail heading). Fill in the required details for your Hotmail account and wait for account to be verified. This has just worked for me. Good luck!

Unable to re-add gmail account to Mail app

I'm trying to re-setup a Google email account that I deleted from my Macbook Pro (Yosemite). I get the following message when trying to set it up in Internet Accounts:
There was a problem setting up the Mail account.
Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server "mydomain.com".
If I click OK, my contacts, Calendar, and Messages accounts are all configured. Only the Mail account isn't checked (or setup in Mail). When I try to check the box, it immediately unchecks with no error given.
I noted the following log entries in the system log, not sure if they are related:

(The connection to service named com.apple.CrashReporterSupportHelper was invalidated.) UserInfo=0x7fb90b4236d0 {NSDebugDescription=The connection to service named com.apple.CrashReporterSupportHelper was invalidated.}
I've tried setting the account up manually ("Add Other Account...") but that also failed. I've tried repairing within Disk Utilities. I've restart multiple times.
I've verified that IMAP is enabled for this account. I am able to set this account up in the third party app Postbox (another email client for mac) with no issues.
There must be something wrong with my local configuration and I'm out of ideas. Help?

precisely the same issue on 2 computers on 10.9 and 10.10
- the accounts are google apps for business accounts
- imap is on
- 2 step verification is off
- upgrading the 10.9 machines resulted in the same issue/error
- running onyx and cleaning out everything did nothing
- trashing mail prefs nothing
- creating new user account on the macs...same issue
- i can setup the accounts on my own 10.10 machine (ios also works for those 2 accounts)
completely dead in the water....my next step to try is to clean install the 2 effected machine....

That's not how you activate iCloud mail. Open the iCloud pane in System Preferences, sign in with your Apple ID, and check the box marked Mail.

Add Gmail account with custom domain to mail

Hi there,
I've added my standard Gmail account to the Mail app on my macbook air 2013 but i also have a school email from Google that I would like to add as well. This email uses a custom domain name so instead of [email protected] it would be [email protected] I've tried to add it in as a google account and as 'other' but i can't seem to make it work. Would be much appreciated if someone could walk me through the steps.
If you have any questions let me know!

I finally figured out my workaround (I'm using Mavericks).
Go into Mail and Add Account. Then do what wubie317 says, select "Add other account" DO NOT select Google / Gmail.
You will then be asked to enter the mail server addresses for Gmail. The info is below. Good luck!

App catalog: unable to add payment account, error PMT03043

I'm unable to add a payment/billing account for my touchpad. Trying "Preferences & Accounts" in the HP App Catalog menu gives error "Action could not be completed. Try again later" -> "Retry" but this error dialog never goes away on re-trying. So it's stuck at this point. Only way to exit is to card this screen and swipe it away. So how does one add a payment/billing account ? In the "Help" topic about setting up billing account, the Help manual says, "...try to buy an app -> click purchase -> add credit card" but when I try to purchase an app, an error dialog pops up "App catalog could not complete the last action you performed. Try again later. PMT03043". Later, found that PMT03043 error means "No data for Catalog country for device". My HP Touchpad is set to "US" as the country. Why this error when catalog country is already set to US? Could somebody please check their working TP (able to add payment accounts and buy from HP app catalog) and provide some suggestions ? Thanks. I'd like to buy some apps!
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

Also, found "com.palm.service.payment" empty folder, and "com.palm.payment.service" folder with code in it. So which of these is supposed to be the proper valid payment service ? Can any of the devs here help? I guess one of these services is not running so the error pops up? Help please. Aren't there some official HP support/devs on this forum ?

Having a problem adding my gmail accounts to outlook 2010. Also office 365 account to outlook 2010. I downloaded the server settings, tried every combination and still no results. For gmail outgoing mail using Imap SSL 465 encrypted, Incoming using Imap
SSL 993. Also tried TLS 587. For office 365 the same combo's. No results.

Hi,
I understand the issue now is that you can't add accounts to your Outlook 2010, since in the description it is not mentioned, I want to know the symptom a bit more, is there any error message?
You can also provide some screenshots of the issue, send them to our email address so that I can check and determine what may cause this issue:

Add gmail account to iphone 6

iphone 6 will not add my gmail account. Error message says password is incorrect. I have entered the password numerous times and it is not incorrect. password works on gmail account on desktop and ipad.

Are you using Google's 2-step verification? If so you need to use an application-specific password rather than the normal password: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en

Unable to add Exchange account after upgrading Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2010

Hello,
We have a number of users that we have upgraded Outlook from 2003 to Outlook 2010.
I am now trying to add an exchange account to these machines, but it doesn't work.
The exchange setup is correct, as we have some machines that came with Outlook 2010/2013 out of the box, and the exchange accounts work fine on them.
The first error that appears when adding the account is:
I have tried removing Outlook 2010, and then uninstalling Outlook 2003, reboot and re-install 2010. Same error.
I have tried setting up a new profile for the user, same error.
Our Exchange host pointed me to this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2264398 which initially looked quite promising, as it describes
the issue I am seeing. However, after carrying out the fix, I get the same error.
I checked in event viewer, and these issues seem to be relevant to the issue:
The description for Event ID 5000 from source Microsoft Office 14 cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the
local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:

Hi Stephen,
What’s your Exchange server version? Exchange 2013 or Exchange 2010?
Since your original Outlook 2010 and 2013 users can connect to Exchange server and work well, I think the configuration(Autodiscover service, Outlook Anywhere etc.) in server side should be correct. Please make sure your
new Outlook profile for Outlook 2010 have been configured with the following points:
1. The Encrypt data between Microsoft Office Outlook and Microsoft Exchange Server is checked.
2. Restart the Microsoft Exchange RPC Client Access service in Exchange server. And make sure all other Exchange services are running.
Please check whether the problematic users can configure an Outlook account and access their mailbox in the original Outlook 2010 client or not.
Thanks,
Winnie Liang
