Unable to create new email from Gmail account in Mail

I just installed gmail to retrieve messages within Mail: I can receive gmail messages and reply to gmail from Mail. However, I cannot create and send a new message in Mail using my gmail account; when I do I get the following error message:
Enter Password for Account
smtp.gmail.com:xxxx[account name]
The SMTP server "smtp.gmail.com" rejected the password for user "xxx[account name]"
Please re-enter your password, or cancel.
No matter how many times I add it correctly and click OK, the same message returns.

Google provides instructions for setting up a Gmail
account in Mail here:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13
275
Make sure you’ve set up the account as described
there.
That is what I used to set up my gmail account in Apples Mail App before your post. Those instructions say that when you click on the Advanced Tab that the port will switch to 995 - which it did for me. I do have a minor problem though. Is there any way to prevent emails sent from Mail via gmail from showing up in gmails web page? I don't really like web mail whatsoever!

Macbook 10.9.2 will not get new email from gmail

I believe I have found a solution to this problem of OS10.9.2 not being able to get my new email from gmail.
Go into Mail Preferences>accounts and select your problem account. Go down to "Outgoing mail server" and select the box "use only this server."
At first I didn't believe this would solve my problem because it's "outgoing" BUT it worked. My new messages instantly began loading. I quit mail and later opened it to see if I would instantly get new messages and it worked.
I was desperate and willing to try anything. Try it. You'll like it.

If you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
open the Terminal application.
copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
followed by Enter.
launch App Store, login.
2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:

VIEWING NEW EMAILS FROM MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS

In Mozilla I have multiple accounts (Hotmail,gmail etc.) I simply want to view all unread emails from all accounts without having to open each account separately. I thought this would be an obvious feature sorry if it is!

*** 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.

Moving email from gmail account to exchange account on iphone

I have two accounts set up on my iPhone4S, gmail and exchange (connected to Exchange 2010). Is it possible to move an email from the gmail account to the Exchange account? I am unable to find a way to accomplish this. I can move an email from Exchange to Gmail but not the reverse.

Have you happened to find a solution, or least and explaination for this problem?

Mail timeout for emails from Gmail accounts

This past week we've been getting complaints from clients that mail sent to us gets returned with a message saying it is unable to be delivered and will be retried. Eventually these emails arrive, sometimes 2, even 24 hours after being sent - not exactly the best advertisement for responsive customer service!
The common factor seems to be that they are all from Gmail-hosted accounts. I see there have been other threads on this subject, such as <a href = "https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5029574?start=0&tstart=0">this post </a>, which may provide a clue. I'm running 10.5.8 Server 1.1, on a Quad G5, with spam and virus protection on, and tried turning it off to see if it helped. Inconclusive, but I got a lot of spam!
My hunch is that Gmail is expecting a server response within a certain short timeframe and ours times out. But you can't take on city hall, and it's up to our server to provide a timely response to Google, which should be totally possible on a fairly fast machine on 100Mbps fibre, even from here in NZ.
I'd appreciate any thoughts.

I don't know whether this will help any of you having the problem with Gmail, but we were able to resolve our issue by deleting a bunch of emails in the inbox, around the date that the email stopped coming in. It seems there was a corrupted file in the inbox, throwing things of for Mail (though not the iphone, as mentioned above).
How I got to the bottom of this was I set Entourage to receive emails from the att.net account. As happened in Mail, the emails stopped coming in around Feb 11, but we were able to send with no problem. Unlike Mail, however, Entourage provides an error code when it runs into a problem (in our case -16999, if I remember correctly). I searched on the code and found a discussion somewhere which named a corrupted file as the problem. It turned out to be our problem.
So even if it's not the same problem, perhaps you could try setting up Entourage (if you have it) or another email program that supplies error codes, and hopefully this will give you a clue to investigate further. Good luck!

Returned email from gmail accounts

In the past few weeks (since upgrading to Mavericks, but I don't think that's the real issue), I've been having trouble with the Mac Mail app. I have several email accounts linked here, but the trouble only occurs with my AOL domain. If I send personal emails to a gmail user (not bulk/spam/etc.), they will be returned saying that email has "permanent fatal errors." This ONLY happens from the Mail app; if I send an email to a gmail user directly from the AOL mail website, it goes through without a problem. I changed all my passwords when the Heartbleed news came out, but maybe that's an issue? HELP!

No, responding to emails is very easy, so yes, you must be doing something wrong
This phone is a royal pain in the a**.
No, its about as intuitive as they can get. The manual is here though http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf It usually helps to get your own configuration correct otherwise its not likely to work.
That said, how have you configured your email account ? Give us details (minus your password obviously) and how you are connected. Does it ONLY happen with incoming gmail emails or have you only tried it on them ?

I am unable to compose new emails in Gmail while in Firefox. Works fine on IE.

I sign into Gmail and am able to read new emails and go into my folders, but when I try to compose a new email it just says loading at the top and never comes up. It has to be Firefox because it works fine in IE. I do not want to use IE anymore due to issues with virus's so I am hoping you can help me fix this problem.

Here is what did... I have had about:config >dom.storage.enabled, set at false for a week or so now. There were no problems until the ff 3.6.12 update yesterday morning when I began having the same problems as all of you. I allowed all scripts, problem still persisted so I went back to about:config, toggled dom storage to true and voila, chat and compose started working again. Just to check, I switched it back to false and it stopped working again. You can use the add-on betterprivacy to autodelete dom storage cookies but it looks like google will no longer allow you to disable them completely.
more on enabling/dis-enabling in firefox, this is for windows but should be the same for other os: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/106540-dom-storage-cookies-enable-disable.html

Apple Mail stop fetching new emails from Exchange account.

Hello everybody,
For the second time my Mail App stop fetching emails from my company Exchange account. I did not change anything! Activity and connection windows telling me that everything is OK! But no mails arrives and I'm no able to send them. My two other accounts works fine (Gmail and iCloud). Situation is strange because Outlook (which I hate anyway) works also fine with Exchange accout.
Any ideas?
PS.
Sorry for my English. It is not perfect :-)

Try rebuilding your mailbox.
Rebuild mailbox
After that, try deleting the account and adding it back if the rebuild doesn't work.

No Print by Email from Gmail Account Only

M127 LaserJetPro successfully prints from every email except the gmail address the account is registered to. Email from others show up in the collections list, but nothing from the gmail account.
The printer is set to "open to anyone" in device settings, and if I switch to "Allowed senders only," the gmail account shows up in the allowed list.
I have triple-check for the correct printer email address, I have made sure to send plain text with no signature or attachment, but still noting.
Any ideas what to check next?

Hi lamarche,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I see that you were having difficulties sending an ePrint job from a Gmail address.
Are you still experiencing this issue? I have checked with HP’s Cloud Services and I know that just recently there was a minor service disruption with Gmail being able to successfully send print jobs to any of the HP ePrint printers but it should now be resolved.
If you are still experiencing this issue, please call HP’s Cloud Services at 1-855-785-2777 if you live in the USA/Canada region. If you live outside the USA/Canada region please click here to find the Technical Support number for your country/region.

How To Add Additional Fields When Creating New Contact From w/in Mac Mail?

Hi there. When in Mac Mail and clicking on contact information provided within an email, we are able to either (1) CREATE NEW CONTACT or (2) ADD TO EXISTING CONTACT (by clicking on the arrow next to a phone number, address, etc.). If I choose "Create New Contact," how can I add additional fields BEFORE clicking on "Add to Address Book" button in lower right corner? Let's say, for example, I know this new contacts URL or company. (Currently, I am creating the new contact from within Mac Mail and then going to Address Book and finding the contact, then editing, the adding the additional fields, then saving, and then going back to Mac Mail. This all takes time.)
Note: When creating a new iCal event from within Mac Mail, we can click on Option/Alt key when selecting drop-down arrow...and this will allow us to add additional information. The same feature isn't available for address book???

I have the exact same question and problem. If there was a way to automatically open the AB entry after "creating new contact" this would solve it.
Thanks for any suggestion
