Using Gmail Aliases with iOS 8 Mail App

I'm wondering if there is any way to use gmail aliases with the default mail app. I've already tried the methods listed on these two sites:
http://www.nathanpjones.com/wp/2014/01/using-gmail-aliases-in-ios-7/
http://tbb.co/sending-from-a-gmail-alias-on-ios-8/
I can already send from a few different aliases with the default mail app on Mac. I have two step authentication setup on on my gmail account so I've these methods with both my normal password and app specific passwords generated by Google. Is there something that I'm missing?

Seems to work properly for me. Are we looking at the same place? to instruct it to Delete instead of Archive:
In Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > (select account) > Account (select your e-mail address) > Advanced.
Mailbox Behavior for Deleted Mailbox: Trash.
then
Move Discarded Messages Into: Deleted Mailbox.
It wasn't this way by default. Move Discarded was Archive, and it gave the results you described. Changing that to Deleted works for me.
I set the Swipe left-to-right to Archive. So now one swipe will Archive, the other will Delete.
oooh... p.s.... this seems to work as well:

Why am I not able to use iCloud Drive with the Mail app?

I have an iPad Air and recently updated to the latest iOS currently version 8.0.2. I understand that Apple just opened up iCloud Drive to be able to access your documents or anything within your iCloud account. I like the feature of being able to access docs from Pages, Keynote, and other apps. However, it's unfortunate that I simply cannot access my iCloud Drive from the Mail app. Is there a step that I'm missing to access my documents via iCloud Drive within the Mail app? Any feedback would be much appreciated.. Thanks in advance!

Full functionality for iCloud Drive will not be available until Yosemite is released.

Anyone else using Gmail (IMAP) with Apple Mail having this problem?

I've been noticing the last couple months that whenever a new incoming message arrives from an ongoing thread/conversation in my Apple Mail client, it makes all prior emails in the same thread show up again as "unread", instead of just showing the latest message as unread. This means I tediously have to go and mark all prior messages in the thread as "read" again each time. When I log into gmail where the mail is hosted (as an IMAP account), the thread in question is hi-lighted to indicate a new unread message (including the email count for the number of messages in that thread), yet it seems only the most recent email is shown as unread. Somehow it seems Apple Mail is interpreting this message count in the Gmail thread as all being unread messages again each time.
Any settings I need to change or is this a bug that Gmail or Apple has?

racb,
First check your on-line Gmail to see if the mail is sent / received. -
Sometimes Gmail will not send to itself or goes into the spam folder.
It also could be a corrupt preference file.
First save the mail in your inbox – in a new mailbox on your Mac.
Close mail.
Go to Home folder (the house) - Library folder- Preferences folder –
Look for - com.apple.mail.plist
Drag it into a new folder on your desktop – just incase you might need it latter.
You will need to go back into mail and recreate you Preferences/accounts again.

When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app. However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2. I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2.

I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2? Any suggestions for getting the correct photo to show on iPad2?

Update: I was able to have the correct photo show in my email as received on my iPad2 by changing a setting on my IMac prior to sending the photo on the email.
On the iMac, I went into iPhoto > Preferences > Email photos using > Mail (in lieu of "iPhoto"). This seems to have corrected the issue. I'm not sure why. Now the correct photo shows up when received on my iPad2.

GMail is not working with Apple Mail App: Login correct, says "no e-mails"?

HI everyone,
I just switched from my iPhone 5 to a new iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.1.2. After I put the latest backup to the new device everything was set up fine. Unfortunately Google Mail doesn't work with the Apple Mail App any more.
I have two factor identification switched on and use the 16 digit long password which I set up with my Google account. The configuration details work (login, password, server details), the account is accepted, no notifications tell me that anything is wrong. The thing is, that the Apple Mail App doesn't show any mails. Also it's impossible to send any emails. The strange thing is, that the GMail App works fine.
I really tried everything: deleted the account setup, changed mail server from m.google.com to smtp.google.com, set up a new app specific password through two factor identification... no emails appear!
With my iPhone 5 I was a lucky user of push email, thanks to Microsoft ActiveSync. So I keep trying to configure the GMail account as an Exchange account (I know that Google switched off ActiveSync some time ago, until now everything worked fine with my iPhone 5, even push mail worked!).
Does anyone of you know how to solve the problem? I don't like the GMail App and really prefer using the iOS Mail App..
Thanks in advance!

Responses? Suggestions? What did the Gmail forums have you to do or try?

After I updated iOS 5 can´t use the "open with" for mail attachments.

After I updated iOS 5 on my iPad 2, I can not use the "open with" for mail attachments. The option is not appearing.
For example, when I try to open an .wmv attachment the iOS 5 doesn´t show "open with". Before update, I was able to open with "AZUL" software.
Can anyone help me?

You did say that the option does not appear at all in mail no matter which file type you want to open correct? I can only assume that something went corrupt in the update that affected your settings and that's why this option no longer appears. For experimental purposes, you could try emailing a PDF to yourself and see if that will allow you to use the Open in function in the mail app.
If nobody else jumps into this discussion with a different idea, then maybe you should try restoring your iPad. The best way to do so is - first backup the device - and then restore to factory settings and then you can try restoring from a backup at the end of the process.
However, if one of your settings is corrupt, the backup will be corrupt as well. It may be that you will have to restore to factory settings and then start all over again - adding your apps and content back to the device to get the best results. I would certainly use this process as a last resort. Restoring from a backup maybe all that you need to do.

Using gmail - multiple copies of mail being written are forwarded to the trash -did not have this issue with 10.6.8 -

I have two Imacs - the master one is plugged in directly into the modem, it runs with 10.6.8 and works fine (this computer is not connected to Icloud)- the other is connected to a router which is connected to the master unit and the modem. that unit was upgraded to 10.9.4 and it is connected to Icloud - both Imacs use gmail accounts for e-mail.
The "slave" unit running on 10.9.4 creates multiple copies of mail being written and sends those copies to the trash file. We have had up to fifty copies of one e-mail in the trash. That computer worked fine under OSX10.6.8 - We have visited the apple store genius bar with this Imac, and consulted the apple phone support service to no avail.
while it does take a long time to transmit the e-mails, addressees get only one copy. Your help will be appreciated.

9/16/14 update - another call to apple phone support revealed that this is a known issue that has no solution at this time.

Having trouble with the mail apps

I am experiencing a number of issues using both the iOS mail app and the Gmail app.
My Gmail settings are like this: I have 2 gmail accounts, account1 is general; account2 is for school, job search and whatnot. While on the desktop, I only check my account1 mailbox and have set it to check and fetch mails from account2. I have set account2 as the default "send mail as" while sending mails from the account1 mailbox. The settings carried over and worked flawlessly on my Android Gmail app.
Now I just made the switch over to iPhone and have been experiencing a number of issues with each of the following apps:
Apple mail app:
1. No push notification (despite of it being turned on). Screen won't come on when a new mail is received.
2. Cannot send mail as my default account2, unless I add another email account, but that would result in me receiving 2 copies of each email that's sent to account2.
3. Whenever I send a message, I automatically get a cc in my inbox.
iOS Gmail app:
1. Whenever I send a message, I automatically get a cc in my inbox.
I think I prefer the Gmail app over the Apple one due to the lesser number of issues, but seeing that I am on an iOS device now, I do wish to make an effort to use the default mail app as it feels more cohesive to the rest of the iOS vibe.
I don't know if anyone can help me in resolving those issues, at least the one plaguing the Gmail app.

Friendly bump.

I've a problem with my mail app

I have a problem with my mail app, after upgrading mavericks.
My mail app was worked well, before I upgrade.
Now, my mail app is working only with icloud account.
I can use my gmail account with safari or other web browsers, but not in the mail app.
That was happening both of my macbook pro, and macbook air, but not on my iPad and iPhone.
I tried deleting account and re added it, but that doesn't solve the problem.
what should i do..??

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

Cannot open Inbox in the IOS Mail app

Hello,
Anyone else, besides me, unable to open the Inbox in the IOS Mail app this morning? I can view the emails in Yahoo mail on my PC, but I don't see any emails in the IOS Inbox on my Ipad Air 2. I deleted on my Yahoo Mail account on my Ipad, and then reactivated the account. However, my emails still don't display. To try to find a solution to the problem, I also activated my Gmail account in the IOS Mail app, but the emails for that account do not display as well. Accordingly, I wonder if there is a glitch in the IOS system today.

Any glitch in iOS mail would be in iCloud mail, not the mail app itself and that's what you seem to be experiencing. IIf you ever want to check to see if there are problems with any apple services, you can check here.
https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
Start with really basic troubleshooting steps. Close the mail app and reset the iPad. If that fails, reset all settings.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Reset all settings..... You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

I have a macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.

POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

Strange problem with the mail app on an iPad

I've got a bit of a strange problem with the mail app on an iPad - it's sending and receiving mail ok but won't let you delete mail. If you keep at it, it appears as if you have deleted mail (though takes a very long time as you just have to keep deleting it over and over again) - but the size of the app still keeps going up - reached 600mb so far, even though there is hardly any mail or attachments (goes up quite a lot each time you try to delete anything) - any idea what's causing this and how I can fix it?
It occasionally comes up with a dialogue panel saying to check my account settings, but I have checked those and they are fine. The little 'loading' icon just keeps spinning constantly too.

go to Settings > Mail > your account > Advanced > Move Discarded Messages Into
and make sure that Deleted Mailbox is ticked, and not Archive Mailbox
You can also adjust how long the deleted mail stays in the trash immediately below that.
If you are talking about a gmail account, you may also have to login to your account on the gmail server and update the settings there. This is what Barney previously posted about that:

Unable to receive gmail through apple's mail app 4.3 on Mac Book Pro

I am unable to receive gmail through apple's mail app 4.3, on my MacBook Pro although I can receive my email on the gmail web site. *I can send email through Mail with no problems I just can't receive any e-mail in Mail.* Recently I got a message that my user name or password was incorrect. I made sure the information was correct but still I can't receive any e-mail in Mail. Could somebody please help me?
Here are the settings. Are they correct?
Account Type: Gmail IMAP
Incoming Mail Server: imap.gmail.com

I had the same problem. The unlocking mentioned above worked for me. Right now mail.app is downloading the messages.
I've also on other message boards found a link for correct setup: http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/answers/howto_setup_gmail_imap_andmail.app1/
The key here is to go to labs and enable advanced IMAP settings.
I'm not cheering yet if I hover over the folders / labels that are synced I get de message "Unable to open "foldername""

How do you mark a message as spam when your mail comes from gmail via OS X Mail.app?

How do you mark a message as spam when your mail comes from gmail via OS X Mail.app?
I use IMAP to get Gmail. I seem to remember seeing a "[Gmail]/Spam" IMAP folder in previous versions of the app, but that's not visible any more.
Without this, I have to log on to the web-based Gmail to mark messages as spam, that's a productivity killer.

right mouse click on a message and select Mark as Junk Mail
