Using two gmail accounts in Mac Mail client, smtp server issue

I've set up two gmail accounts (one personal, one from my job) in Mac Mail. The personal account is set up via POP, the job account is IMAP. I receive mail into each account with no problem. However Mac Mail won't allow me to set up two separate smtp.gmail.com servers (one for each account). If I edit my SMTP server list and try to change either account individually, it changes BOTH accounts. So I can receive with no problem, but can only send mail from both accounts from ONE account (which ever one I've programed). Is there a way to set up two SMTP severs through gmail (one for each account)?

I have two separate ones set for password authentication to two different accounts.
In your smtp server list, how many are listed? If only one, click the add button and set it up for the other account.

I use a Gmail account in Mac Mail and I'm having problems with the Notes feature

Whenever I create a note two copies are saved in the All Mail folder. One that is titled "New Note" without any content in the note and another that is the actual note that I meant to make. Why does Gmail create the unnecessary "New Note"?

Hi
I have just upgraded from an iPod touch to iPhone and the notes app won't work at all. It imported note from my iPod (which used to work fine) but will not let me add or delete notes and the contents of the notes are also screwed up. If it was a computer app I would bin it and reload but how do you that with an iPhone.
I can't face calling the Apple help line. Anyone any suggestions?

I use a gmail account for my mail. When I send an email I sometimes get multiple duplicates (up to 10-12) of the same sent message saved in my sent file. help

Did you check your user name and password in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your email account, tap SMTP, then tap the primary server name. Make sure the settings there are correct.

Configure ipage domain imap account with mac mail client

I have a new website with ipage and would like to configure my new domain imap email on my mac mail client. Neither Apple nor Ipage support have been able to resolve why the outgoing server will not send messages. All variations of settings have been tried. I think it may be an SSL issue, but whichever, it must be possible to set up such an account. Anyone? Please?

Shootist007,
I too loaded sparrow and it did seem to work fine with my (multiple) Gmail accounts and the folder/labels looked great (they do allow you to separate your inboxes/labels) with just a keystroke??---What I found was their HELP files were as MINIMAL as their program (fine for the more experienced I am sure)
I spent several hours!!! trying to figure out how to move the inbox messages to the (FOLDERS)??? I gave up!!
IF ANYONE KNOWS THE STEPS FOR DOING THIS I may well try the program again as it did seem to behave with Gmail/multiple accounts/personal domain quite well!
I will download thunderbird and give it a go in the morning
Thanks for the quick response!

Help with imap gmail account via mac mail

What are the best settings for gmail as imap in mac mail?
I have my gmail account set up with mac Mail as an IMAP account.
I notice that in the last few weeks?? not sure how long, my mac mail is taking forever to load. I opened the activity window and it seems like there are so many things happening. I did find an old account that was still had some activity and while I had delteed it, I did need to do a few more steps to get it out of the process.
Now, as it still seems to take forever for my inbox to fully load, I began looking into the settings.
I am not able to change the settings for trash and I think saving the deleted messages to the server could be a waste of time. This is the advanced setttings page
the trash is 'grayed out' and won't allow me to uncheck the 'store deleted messages on the server'. Anyone know how to change this?
Also, I want to uncheck 'store sent messages on the server' as I think that will save a LOT of process activity, but gmail's directions for imap accounts says to leave it checked. Not sure why, any thoughts?

I'm not familiar with CalbeOne, but you can follow the instructions they provided at their site:
http://help.cableone.net/HSD/mycableone/migrate/default.aspx
You might also want to make sure you followed their transfer instructions.
Build your accounts in Mail as per the POP or IMAP settings provided. When adding accounts to Mail, when you get to the first screen, you can hold the option key down when you hit continue for more options on the Mail configurations rather than the standard defaults.
If you are viewing these accounts at the gmail website, then you might need to do some configuration there also. I'm not sure on how much they are integrated with gmail.

Gmail account on Mac Mail

Cableone partnered with Gmail about 18 months ago so all of our incoming mail actually comes into my Mac Mail (with a bit of configuring for each account) except for a regular GMail account. My addresses are actually cableone addresses and not gmail except for one. We have 6 email accounts for various things. Does anyone know how I would set it up to be received directly on my iMac instead of looking at it in a browser? Cableone can't help me with this one.

Using a hotmail account as Mac Mail?

A friend has an Apple which a few years ago downloaded a plugin to allow all emails from hotmail come to her Macmail application on her Macbook. She can also send mails from here as normal and they are sent as if in her hotmail account.
However, she cannot remember how this is done. I'm looking to do the same, use my hotmail account email without having to sign into the hotmail browser, and use my macmail application. Does anyone have the details/plugin details to do this please? (I only have 10.3.9 by the way)
Many thanks,

I have found this -
http://www.automagic-software.com/products.php
check your mail->preferences->accounts, and click on your hotmail account.
in the 'account information' tab, i have the following--without the brackets:
description: [what shows up in the account pane to the left]
email address: [your hotmail address]
full name: [um...yer name]
incoming mail server: [hotmail.com]
user name: [your email address before the @]
password: [your hotmail password]
outgoing mail server:[services.msn.com:myusername]
if i click the 'server settings' button below that pulldown, i can type in 'services.msn.com' easily enough. but, in order to get my username to show, i change the authentication pulldown to 'password' and enter my username and password.
ok...that last bit is where it gets a little hinky. mine works just fine with authentication turned off. but, in the main view my outgoing server still shows my username after the colon.
also, make sure you configure the other tabs....especially the 'advanced' tab where you have to enable the account.
and, that the httpmail url is set to:
http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp
If this works, could someone please confirm?
Thanks,

Unread email notifications do not appear in my Gmail account on Mac Mail?

I am driving an iMac (intel), OS 10.9.3. My unread email notifications do not appear in my gmail account. I have tried everything that I can think of...

Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

I have several different gmail accounts on mac mail and even when I send from one specific one by selecting it (and setting it as default!) mail gets returned to various different addresses. It seems to swich between them??

Switching between servers and accounts on mail.

It's possible that you have a problem with some outgoing servers and it's just moving through the list until it finds a working one. It will do this if you not have specific SMTP servers locked to each account?
Open Mail's preferences. Select an account and make sure it has the correct SMTP server listed. Also check the login and password for it to make sure it's correct. Check the box to use only that server for that account. Repeat this for all accounts making sure the server login and information are correct.
If an outgoing server fails in the future, you will ger a failure window asking to select another server or try again with the one chosen for that account.
You can also open connection doctor from Mail's main menu (under Window) and run the test. You should have incoming and outgoing servers listed for each account. It will tell you which are working and which aren't. You may also have intermittent failures. Run the test several times.
If this doesn't work, post back more info.

In Gmail I can setup other accounts to "send" email from- can I use these other addresses in Mac Mail

In Gmail if you click the 'cog' button under your username you can choose "Settings" from the drop down menu. From Settings you choose the accounts and import tab and can enter other email addresses. This is useful to me because I have an email address [email protected] and while foobar.com host a server, the is no actual mail server but it can forward emails to aliases on that domain to some other another email address setup by admin.
When I compose a message in Gmail in the browser I can choose [email protected] or [email protected] as my send address. I almost exclusively use my gmail account through Mac Mail on my MBP as an IMAP account.
My question is, can I set up Mac mail in some way to send an email from the gmail server but using the alastair@foobar alias(es) as the send address?

Can't log into Gmail using Mac Mail client

Wow, after upgrading Lion for iCloud and upgrading my iPad2 for IOS5, I can no longer get Gmail on either one using Mac Mail as the client. I get a little triangular caution symbol next to the Gmail account in Mac Mail. I tried deleting the account and recreating it, and when the account setup wizard tries to connect, I get the following:
"Logging in to the Google IMAP server "imap.gmail.com" failed. Make sure the username and password you entered are correct then click Continue. If the information isn't correct, you cannot receive messages"
This doesn't make any sense, since the account has always worked in the past. Simultaneous to that, I have started having the same problem on the iPad, which never had trouble logging in before either.
Anybody else encountering this?

Setting Up Two Gmail Accounts in Mail...

I'm setting up two gmail accounts in my Mail on my Mac Book Pro. One account connects fine, but the other does not. Preferences and settings appear to be the same...
Can anyone suggest how I could fix this?

Did you enabled IMAP and POP access from Gmail's settings? Open gmail.com and go to settings / forwarding and POP IMAP and make sure everything is ok.
Let me know, bye

Receive email delay one hour using Mac Mail client (Mountain Lion) connect Exchange Server 2010

Hi all,
My boss use iPhone, iPad, MacBook Air (Mac Mail client), MacPro (Mac Mail client) connect Exchange Serve 2010 to receive emails. All clients are okay except MacBook Air, the Mac Mail client cannot receive the latest emails from Exchange Server, but it can receive (sync) the emails after one hour. The other clients can receive the latest email after Exchange Server receive new emails immediately.
In this period, the MacBook Air can receive the other IMAP, POP3 and webmail from ISP normally. I tried to set 5 mins to check emails or manual check email from Exchange Server. However, the latest email still delay one hour.......... .
I dumped a screenshot for Mac Mail setting for Exchange Server and a Log file.
could anyone help me to solve this issue?
Thanks

I am not sure what the user has the check for new messages set for but mail does arrive as short as 2 minutes. It does however arrive on his iphone immediately first.

I have imported three gmail accounts into mac's mail client. can i do anything to distinguish between them? e.g., can i have each one appear in the mail list in a different color? I don't want to do it by sender, but by email account.
