Using Gmail with Apple Mail.

Has anyone else encountered strange behaviors retrieving your gmail through Apple Mail. The issue I'm having is it seems to pull in the last couple days worth of email every time I open apple mail to check my mail. Pretty annoying when you get a lot of email. Any suggestions?

Couldn't wait. Found it under Preferences -> Accounts -> Advanced.
I changed it from One Week (the default ? ) to One Day.
That should help.
I have my Apple Mail program set to FORWARD every message that comes into Mail to a Gmail address, and on Gmail I have preferences set to reply to all messages from the email address they are sent to, so my email that goes to Mail generates replies that look like they come from Mail.
Allows me to keep a record of all emails I receive.

    Make sure your settings match up with this:

    if wouldn't hurt to delete the account entirely and just re-set it up in preferences.

  • HT6114 Using Gmail with Apple Mail -- Failed!

    Help!  After installing this update (10.9.2) I lost ALL ability to send or receive any Gmail messages via Apple Mail.  Anyone else having this problem?  I can still use Gmail via any web browser but can no longer use Apple Mail as I've been doing for the past 2 years.

  • Trouble sending mail through Gmail with Apple Mail

    I am having trouble sending email through Gmail using Apple Mail.  I have entered the correct password thorugh the two step verification from Google and the Connection Doctor says that I'm connected to the IMAP and SMTP, but I get the error that my email address was rejected by the gmail server. 
    Any thoughts?

    Google has instruction posted for setting up your iPhone with gmail. I followed these directions and it worked perfectly.

  • I am having trouble receiving gmail with Apple Mail.

    I have deleted and re-added my gmail account several times, and for some reason my iMac is struggling.  I have searched and verified that every setting is correct on gmail's end, and done the same in my iMac, but for some reason it takes forever to receive messages, and when mail attempts to synchronize, the lower left "Receiving x of x messages" bar will run and run, but to no avail.  Any secret solution out there?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Hi Tim,
    Is it POP or IMAP account?
    Gmail send but not receive...
    Here are two steps that have come in handy in related situations
    1) login to gmail on your computer or device via a web browser
    2) once logged in successfully, go to this URL to unlock:
    https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptch
    The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
    This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, or a server end problem.
    Or duplicate entries in Keychain Access.
    If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
    The receiving email ports are:
    IMAP is port 143
    IMAP-SSL is port 993
    POP is port 110
    POP-SSL is port 995
    Outgoing ports are...
    SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

  • Use of SSL with Apple Mail 3.4 on FIOS

    I can use SSL with email to and from comcast.net, me.com. and gmail.com, but not to and from verizon.net, using FIOS. I have been using FIOS since August on my Mac PPC G5 and OS 10.5.7. Of the threads I have checked, the consensus seems to be that SSL will not work with Apple Mail. However, when I log in via my browsers, the connection is secured via SSL. Anybody out there know if one can use SSL with Apple Mail via verizon's servers? If so, what are the port settings?

    Sad, but true.

    ^^
    Comon Verizon, other ISPs have had e-mail over SSL for years. Please, get with the program.

  • OS Update 10.9.1 did NOT fix Gmail syncing issues with Apple Mail App?

    Is it just me? Or is anyone else having the same issues of gmail still NOT syncing accross iPad and Mac Mail app in spite of the "update/fix" to OS? My mail on my three Macs and one iPad are still never synced corrctly. When I try "syncronize all mail boxes" in the mail app of the mac, it does not work.
    I look directly at my Gmail online thorugh Safari on the Google site and see I have 2 emails in my IN box. Yet on one Mac it has 15 (13 of ehcih were deleted several hours ago). On another Mac it has 18. On the iPad it has it right as that is where I begain looking at end editing email today.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

  • Gmail no longer working with Apple Mail?

    In the lasts 24 hours, without making changes to hardware or software, Mail has quit retrieving mail from my gmail accounts.
    While I never receive any sort of warning about passwords or other issue, I simply get this:
    And the "activity" window just stays that way... for hours with no result.  The Connection Doctor window:
    The Church Email account is an old one that is no longer active... I just haven't removed it from my list.  But the "verify username and password" message is consistent... Strangely enough, down the same window - the SMTP connection works just fine. I can sent  mail from all of my gmail accounts using Mail... Considering that the user name/password is the same for both sending and receiving mail.. SOMETHING is funky with Apple Mail.
    Anybody have a guess what to check? This is frustrating.

    Did you change any setting in Mail? Did you change your gmail account password? Did you activate 2-step verification on your gmail account?
    If you haven't done anything from above, maybe problem is with your network... Did you try to turn off your router for few minutes and then turn ON again?
    Did you install any 3rd party security apps on your Mac? Did you enable system firewall? Do you use any proxy servers? Do you use VPN?
    There might be more questions...

  • Gmail IMAP account stopped working with Apple Mail

    I have Leopard with 10.5.5, just updated it a few days ago.
    I have used my gmail account for a few years with Apple mail with no real problems, but now today, I got errors about an invalid certificate, and a little exclimation point by my gmail inbox. I have an iPhone and another Mac that I was syncing all this to so I don't know something with one of those screwed it up, so I have removed all gmail accounts from everything and I'm just trying to set it back up on my main laptop, but i get an error when setting up the new IMAP account. Now it says logging into the IMAP server has failed and to check my username and password... I am following the instructions from the gmail site really close, and I've even reset my gmail password.
    anybody know why it still isn't working?

    Hmm, turns out my iMac Apple Mail has been resetting the Mailbox activity settings for some random reason which would explain the drafts problem. Wonder why?

  • Gmail suddenly not working with Apple Mail

    My gmail suddenly is not working with Apple Mail.
    It said my username or password is wrong, but it was okay this morning.
    Nevertheless, I deleted my gmail account, and re-setup it using Internet Accounts from System Preference.
    However, I got the beow message:
    There was a problem setting up the Mail account. An unknown error occurred.
    I am sure my username and password are correct because I just login it using Safari.
    Does anyone know what the cause is?
    Please help~~~

    Gmail not syncing in mac mail is a problem that is also in snow leopard since the new year.
    OSX 10.6.8  is the highest OS that will run on an Intel Core 2 Duo.  Do not try to install Mavericks on this machine! I will install, but turns it into a dinosaur and many programs will no longer run.
    I had an issue with Mac Mail not syncing with imap.gmail.com. and Safari not being able to find apple.com.
    This was resolved by working with an upper level tech support member for several hours deleating particular system library files, uninstalling most addons, reseting system network settings and a whole lot more! (too much to name here)
    Thank you Apple Tech Support.

  • Problems with Apple Mail and Gmail

    Hiya
    I'm keen to integrate my Gmail Account with Apple Mail via POP3, however having followed the instructions given by Google - it doesn't seem to work correctly?
    I would appreciate if someone would kindly help me. I look forward to hearing from someone.
    Many thanks,

    Hi,
    I want to setup gmail as the default email.I've tried almost everything..google notifier, don't like to have gmail inbox in my mac apps inbox ( I could do that successfuly ).I hate it actually that I have to use entourage to send photos first to my gmail and then forward to friends.There is nothing wrong with mac mail or entourage but I just love my gmail...help please!
    Apple needs to fix two things to make their mail more popular ( infact the features are great especially with new iLife'08 ) : one , mac mail should be free like all major email services ( I'll be happy with 4GB free space rather than 10GB which they are offering now with subscription ) and second they should create userfriendly environment to use any email ids as default.
    Thx

  • We love apple email, but it does not play wall with other venders when you want to use your own domain (lags, disconnections, etc.)?   What vendor should we use to make it push and work well?  We want to stay with Apple Mail.

    Help, our AppleMail does not play well with other Vendord to use our own domain.   iCloud mail works great, but so far others we have tried lag, disconnec, etc. not nearly as good as icloud mail.   Should we try exchange or office 365 plans with Apple Mail/  a lot more expensive?

    Microsoft Exchange is the best business solution, Office 365 will give a hosted version that works well, as you noted it is not the cheapest. You should also look at Zimbra, an excellent service.

  • Is there a problem with Apple Mail using IMAP

    Is there a problem with Apple Mail using IMAP?  Having a problem syncing to our mail server: doesn't sync properly when multiple devices use same mail acct.  Spoken w/ mail hosting provider who says Apple Mail doesn't follow IMAP protocol properly leaving Apple Mail users to experience a variety of problems when connecting to IMAP accounts.  Among them:
    - Improper syncing
    - Proliferation of drafts during composition of an email.
    - Connections on the mail host do not close automatically and proliferate over time until the host rejects further connection requests.
    Hosting provider goes on to suggest turning off IDLE command.  In my experience turning this feature off did not improve the situation.  In fact, it created a few.
    Question: Is the hosting provider correct in faulting Apple Mail?
    Been fielding the question with a number of people.  I'm aware of three people who are experiencing similar problems, each using different mail hosts.  Tech reps at inmotionhosting.com and nexcess.com point the finger at a Apple Mail, along with an IT specialist in Los Angeles, CA, and a tech support rep at an Apple Store in Arizona who said that Apple and Google mail are aware of and coordinating to resolve the problem.
    Anyone out there have any insights into this?
