Upgraded to Mountain Lion a week ago suddenly unable to receive incoming emails from Mail.6

Upgraded to Mountain Lion a week ago.  Suddenly unable to receive incoming emails from Mail.6
Can successfully send outgoing messages. 
Have completed following tasks to no avail:
1)          When click on "Take all accounts online" and entering password for gmail / looking at Mail Connection Doctor: Got Green light, Mail was able to connect to the Internet. But…
"Trying to log in to this Goggle Imap account failed.  Verify username and password are correct."
I have verified username and password being correct. 
2)          System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars typed in name, email address & gmail password and got this message.
"Unable to verify account name and password."
3)          Mail> preferences>account>password.  Confirmed correct password, name, email address and imap "address" Then to Advanced & confirmed correct port . Restarted computer.
"lay person terms" appreciated. 
Thanks!
Laila

Found solution, Yeay!   No coincidence.  Mountain Lion (osx 10.8, upgraded) is not compatible with Gmail if one has 2-step verification set up on their gmail security settings. 
There are 2 options to solving problem
1)   https://discussions.apple.com/message/19109209#19109209) 
This will take you through the process to disable 2-step security feature on gmail security page. Thank You  iPatA.
2)   http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=ch_b/0/SmsAuthConfig& answer=185833
This will take you through the process of assigning an "application specific password" to upgraded Mail 6.0 for successful communication between Mail 6.0 Mountain Lion while keeping a 2 step verification process if you prefer. 
Thanks for you energy & effort rkaufmann87.
Sincerely, much appreciated. 
I love this Apple community.

    Are you using the Office for Mac 2011 version, as you need to do?  The Office for Mac 2004 is Not at all compatible with Mountain Lion, and the 2008 version has been noted to have some problems running with ML.
    Hope this helps

  • I applied for the uptodate program to update to the mountain lion os x, but i have not received any email or response. what do i do?

    I have applied for the free up-to-date program for the mountain lion os x upgrade. I received a tracking number too. How do I use this number to find out the status of my request? I have not received any email since the past 24 hours of my applicaiton.

    It's hard to give accurate advise without knowing exactly which iMac model you have?
    However, beware that your iMac must meet both Processor and RAM requirements.
    OS X Lion - Technical Specifications
    General requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    Also note that while 2GB of RAM is the minimum requirment, you will be much happier with 4 GB or more.
    RAM is a user upgrade, see >  iMac: How to remove or install memory

  • Is the Up-To-Date Mountain Lion program down? I haven't received an email yet.

    I submitted my form, and haven't gotten any confirmation or email code. Is the server down?

    Try taking your question to the new Mountain Lion forum. As teach5 notes, the experts are saying that it will take up to 72 hours to receive an email with your redemption code. Sorry if that's true but it's not like you won't get what was promised - just a bit later than those who purchaed it.

  • Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my mouse pointer often disappears upon waking the computer from sleep.

    Anybody else having this problem. Know how to fix it? My mini is the low-end mid 2011 model, using the mouse with the trackpad built in (magic mouse?).

    Hello,
    I wonder if it's a variation of this, of which I've seen many different symptoms...
    Resolution
    Move the mouse or trackpad cursor over the center area of the login window so you can see the user icons. Click on the icon of the user that you would like to login as, type in the user's password, and press Return.
    If the login window is configured to show only the name and password fields, type in the user's name and password into the fields, and press Return (even if you cannot see the rest of the login window).
    Additional Information
    This issue will not occur if the display is not sleeping when the account is logged out. Use the steps below to confirm that the account is not configured to log out automatically while the display is sleeping:
    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General.  Click the padlock to unlock the preference pane and enter your admin password. Click the Advanced button at the bottom, then see if the option "Log out after N minutes of inactivity" (where N is the number of minutes) is enabled.
    Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and configure Display Sleep to occur after the account is logged out, by dragging the slider to a number of minutes that is greater than N was set to in the previous step.
    Important: If automatic log out is not needed, disable "Log out after Nminutes of inactivity" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. This will also prevent the issue.

    Hi john,
    Thank you for posting in MSND forum.
    Since
    this forum is to discuss: Visual
    Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor.
    Based on your issue, it is related to the C# application,
    so
    I’m afraid that it is not the correct forum
    for this issue.
    To help you find the correct forum support this issue,
    could you please tell me which kind of application you create using C# language? Is it a c# console application or others?
    If possible, I suggest you could share the detailed coded about your issue so that we will better support this issue.
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • Upgraded  to mountain lion and Adobe Flash won't load any suggestions

    Upgraded to Mountain Lion 3 days ago. After 30 min determined I needed the newest version of Adobe Flash. After going to the site I attempted to download the lastest version and for a moment it looked as if it was downloading but would never pop up "install". No download appeared either. Going thru the trouble shooting guide I changed my preferences to allow 3rd party cookies and the eliminated all references to "flash" in my library. Still no results. Geez, I have spent 2 hours on this new upgrade and was doing better before. Any help out there.?

    Download Adobe Flash Player 11.4.402.265. Open the disc image to mount. Double-click on the installer and install Flash.

  • Terrible battery life after upgrading to Mountain Lion

    I upgraded to mountain Lion last week and now I'm getting only less than 2 hours of battery life. is there any fixes for this issue?

    Usually this means some process is using lots of CPU and hence lots of battery power.  (This certainly could happen after an upgrade if some third party software is now broken.) Have you looked at Activity Monitor (Utilities folder), All Processes, sorted by CPU?

    If you bought the MBP new 3 weeks ago, it should have come with Mountain Lion already installed. Did you update your MBP to the newly released 10.8.4 update? If not, what OS were you running before the upgrade, and what version of Mountain Lion do you have now?

  • After upgrading to mountain lion my calendar does not print in weekly mode anymore

    after upgrading to mountain lion my calendar does not print in weekly mode anymore

    I'm having the same problem with both my Vivotek wired network camera and Panasonic wireless network cameras. At first I thought this was an issue with the video framework in Mountain Lion, but if Firefox is working (I haven't tried it yet), it sounds like it may be an objective-c video library that has been changed. It's possible Firefox is using an objective-c interface that calls an objective-c function that isn't called by Safari or IP Camera Viewer, etc., (possibly a function that is on its way to be deprecated) or Firefox could use it's own library that directly calls the video framework.
    Could be the Mountain Lion objective-c framework has a buffering issue.
    Since this is occuring in both 3rd party software and Apple software, it sounds like it's an Apple issue. 3rd party applications typically utilize the Apple Developer objective-c frameworks to access video frameworks/libraries (for example, MJPEG). Thus, contacting 3rd party developers may not solve the situation (unless they can figure out a temporary bandaid--possibly figuring out the video framework call that Firefox uses and patching their software to do the same (not a simple task), but could still provide more feedback to Apple via their developer status.
    Has anyone attempted to record from their cameras via iMovie or Final Cut Pro X HD? I will try mine later tonight to see if it records the hanging. If it does, then it's looking more and more like Apple's the culprit.
    My suggestion is for everyone to file a bug report via http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
