Very very slow to download gmail in mail APP iPad

As I wrote in the title, in the last days, from when I updated iOS 7.04, I've some problem with the mail app in iPad 3rd gen.
With the account gmail: it's very very very slow to download the emails.
First of all, I reset the iPad, but nothing.
So, I deleted the gmail account and set up it again... but nothing.
So, what's the problem: Gmail? Mail APP in iOS 7.04? Both? And how can I resolved it?
Thank you very much for yours replay. Best regards.

Backup Gmail using Mail.app and IMAP

I would like to backup my Gmail emails using Apple Mail. I have IMAP turned on in Gmail. I know I need to add the account in Mail but I'm not sure what to do after that. I'm thinking I need to create a local mail folder in order to store the emails.
Also, how could I automate this? Is Mail the best option for this scenario? Again, I'm only wanting this as a backup for Gmail.

How about avoiding redundancy (http://superuser.com/questions/114253/backup-gmail-using-mail-app-and-imap-witho ut-redundancy)?
I got this all working, there's even this literally great guide on my superuser post (http://db.tidbits.com/article/10253) but IMAP generates a lot of repeated files due to gmail labels nature.
Anyone knows a way to circle around this and still be able to use IMAP and labels with mail.app and gmail?

Mail downloading gmail sent mail?

This could be a gmail thing and not a .mac but I can't find a setting in gmail that seems to account for this action.
I check my gmail with Mail and only occasionally use it to send stuff but when I do, at the end of the day, Mail seems to download a CC of the mail that I've sent (which I've not actually CCd or BCCd to myself). Does anyone know if this is a mac preference that I cant turn off somewhere?

Not sure what you mean. If those messages are being sent using Gmail’s webmail interface (which you haven’t made clear), this is normal Gmail behavior and Mail has no bearing on it.
Gmail POP access doesn’t work like a normal POP mail server would. Here are some of its idiosyncrasies (#4 could be what you’re observing):
1. Messages downloaded by any conventional POP mail client are marked as downloaded at the server (but not as read on the web), and no longer available to either the same or any other POP mail client.
2. To make already downloaded messages available for POP access again, you must go to Gmail’s Settings > Forwarding and POP page, select Enable POP for all mail, and click Save Changes, which causes everything (and I mean everything) still on the server to be downloaded again.
3. The Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings have absolutely no effect on the messages stored on Gmail’s server. Gmail ignores any requests to delete messages from the server made by a POP client. What happens to the messages on the server after a POP client has downloaded them is determined by Gmail’s Settings > Forwarding and POP > When messages are accessed with POP setting alone. In the case of Gmail (and only in that case), I recommend turning OFF Remove copy from server in Mail, so that Mail doesn’t even try to remove any messages from the server, regardless of whether you do actually want already downloaded messages to be removed from the server after some time or not.
4. Messages sent using the web interface will be downloaded by your POP mail client as if they were received messages. 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 POP mail client, that is. 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.
5. Messages sent using a POP/SMTP 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. Since they’re on the server nonetheless, already sent messages would be downloaded together with all the other messages on the server if proceeding as described in #2.
6. A particular case of #5 are messages sent to yourself. Instead of putting a copy of the sent message in the server’s Inbox and making it available for download, both the sent and the “received” message on the server are actually one and the same, and hence, cannot be downloaded via POP for the reason explained in #5.
7. Gmail allows POP accounts to be set up in a special way that avoids some of these issues while introducing others. If you only need POP access to the last 30 days of mail, you may configure Mail in “recent mode”, as described in Using POP on multiple clients or mobile devices. Configuring the account this way would allow Mail to download messages marked by Gmail as already downloaded (and download messages sent to yourself in particular), but it would also cause all sent messages (not just messages sent to yourself or through webmail) to be downloaded as if they were received messages.

Using Gmail in mail app

Hello everyone,
I have bought this week an new mac air 13 inch and i am exploring the great mac software.

Hi Vincent 76,
If you are not seeing the options I mentioned above, check the settings that you have in the Mail Preferences for each email account:
The image below is from the Help Menu within the Mail application. It shows the button to the right of the Send button that you can click on to add fields like Reply To, CC or BCC. The From field is shown in this diagram, so I'm not sure why you are not seeing it.
Write and send messages
When you want to write or reply to a message, Mail opens a new window where you can add recipients, text, photos, and more, before sending your message.

Gmail making Mail app run slowly!

I have been teaching my fiancé how to use his iBook G4 (for more than just writing school papers.) He has a Gmail account that I have set up to work with the Mail app on OSX Panther. He now has a bad opinion of Mail because the app is really really slow to load up his new messages, (lots of that spinning wheel action!) and it makes his computer respond slowly to everything. Sometimes we have to force quit the application just to make the computer usable again.
I have set up his computer to my .Mac email and my other POP mail server, and neither of those accounts make Mail behave like that. Anybody have any similar experiences with Gmail? Any suggestions? Should we download Gmail's app instead?
Thanks in advance!

Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
Also, try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc., and see whether that makes a difference.

Using Gmail over Mail.app

Hi.
I was wondering if there were any mac users using Gmail.
I tried to sync (this has been a problem with Tiger Mail as well) and all the mails are downloaded from Gmail server.
However, similar messages (i.e. those that the recipient replied) were not grouped together as the original, just like what Gmail does when u access it online.
Would there be some function of mail that can do that so it makes it more compact like accessing Gmail online?
Also, deleting the messages from Mail.app would not delete the messages in the Gmail account right? In that case, if i accessed my Gmail somewhere else, i would be reading "unread" or "undeleted" messages that were actually "read" or "deleted" on my mac at home.
i hope im making sense here and some help can be sought.thank you. enjoy leoparD!

Jeffrey,
Gmail has a setting to delete mail from the gmail inbox after downloading to the mac.
Login to Gmail on the web
Go to settings
Go to forwarding and pop/imap
Under item 2. When messages are accessed with POP, choose delete gmail's copy.
That works for me.

GMail (POP3) & Mail.app

Hello everyone,
I hope someone might help me understanding the behavior of Mail.app while working with GMail in POP3.
I switched yesterday from Thunderbird, wishing to give Mail.app a try.
I had no problems in the setup, but what is really annoying is the layout Mail.app gives me.
I have the "Inbox" and "Sent" folders (I hope I'm translating properly, since I do not use MacOS with the English interface), with the "RSS" menu on its bottom. After the RSS item, there is one more, called "GMAIL", which contains every folder of my GMail account (All Mail, Drafts, Sent Mail, Spam, Starred, Trash).
What's shocking to me is that Mail.app downloaded *every message* since my GMail account is active (2005!), for every folder. Moreover, whenever I receive a new mail it appears both in the "Inbox" at the top of the column on the left in Mail.app, and in the "GMAIL" section. Reading the mail from the "Inbox" section does not mark the mail as read in the "GMAIL" one.
So here there are my questions:
1. What happens if I delete the "GMAIL" section of the left column? Will my mails be deleted also from the GMail account or just from Mail.app?
2. How do I prevent Mail.app from downloading every message my GMail account stores since its opening?
3. How do I get rid of the "duplicate inbox" behavior?
Thanks in advance for all of your help,
Maurizio

Yes, you were right, the GMail account was configured as IMAP.
I mistakenly wrote "POP3" in the subject because I took for granted that the account would have been set as POP3 by default.
Unfortunately for me, I still can't understand how may I configure Mail.app for using POP3 with GMail.
Would you mind helping me through this, please?
sure thing. this actually took me a LONG time to figure out.
first you'll need to delete your gmail imap account from amil preferences->accounts then click on + there.
this will start Mail setup wizard and enter your gmail email and pasword press option. the "create" button will change "continue". click on it and on the next screen you can choose to set it up as POP.

hi ,
    i am new to MAC . i have configured mac mail for all my email ids . I have configured my company email along with my personal email . I have to connect tthrough vpn to access my cpmpany emails . i am using built in cisco vpn in LION to connect . But once i connect to vpn all my remaing emails get disconnected in mail app . there will be no updation in any of my personal emails(gmail). But i am able to acces my personal email when i login through browser.
      if my company is not allowing to access gmail when connected to vpn then it shouldn't be accessable through browser . i am able to access my mails through browsers. Even gmail in ichat disconnects once i connect to VPN i could see yahoo connected some times in ichat but never for gmail .
    Once i disconnect from vpn all mails will be back to orginal state and my company mail shows disconnected . which is acceptable as i am not connected to vpn to access it .
     Is it problem with mail app or vpn ?

When you delete a POP account in Mail it deletes the messages in the Inbox. These should download again as All Mail. BTW, when you select Archive it will move messages out of the Inbox to the All Mail folder.
I suggest you start with a new Mail profile. This will not include any previous emails and accounts. We can discuss importing those later.
Quit Mail
Go to the User's Library folder. This folder is hidden by default. To unhide: Select the Finder in the Dock. Under Go in the Menu bar > hold down the Option key and you’ll see the Library.
Scroll to Containers. Drag the com.apple.mail folder to the Desktop
Rename Mail folder to MailXX (you can revert if needed)
Go to Preferences. If you find any com.apple.mail.plist files, delete these.
Log out under the Apple in the Menu bar
Log in
Open Mail
Before you add your Gmail account, I suggest you do a bit of clean up in your browser first.

Use Gmail with Mavericks Mail
http://www.needhelp4mac.com/2013/12/use-gmail-with-mavericks-mail/
It will take some time to download 19 GB. Note: some users have selected not to sync the All Mail folder. You might want to disable sync at first until you get your folders and new Inbox downloaded. After adding All Mail, I would let it sync overnight.

GMAIL IMAP: Mail app on iPhone, random old emails showing as new in inbox.

Hi all,
I've tried to get an answer to this elsewhere, hopefully someone here can shed some light on my problem.
I just switched both my GMAIL accounts from POP to IMAP: using the web interface, everything's fine; using the Mail app on my desktop, everything's fine; however, using the Mail app on my iPhone, one of the accounts is fine, but the other account only show a random smattering of email from between 2005 and 2007 as the "newest" emails. Now, new emails come in fine and dandy but as soon as there are fewer than 25, WHAM!, these random group starts showing up in the inbox. It's annoying as all get out. I've tried deleting the account from my iPhone and setting it up from scratch, to no avail. If both accounts were acting this way I'd chalk it up to either an error on my end, or some tick between GMAIL and my phone but these seem not to be the case. So, how about it? Any insight out there?
thanks,
christian

Yes that is normal. The sync between your gmail inbox and the all mail folder in gmail is not immediate, so you will have an emal that will appear as unread in the all mail folder, yet you did read it already in the gmail inbox. There is no way around this nagging issue at present.
I cannot comment on the other point you raise as uses/behavior for sharing one's computer vary greatly. If you have privacy issues and still share your computer with others, you may want to create a guest user profile and have others use this guest user profile when using your computer. That way they will be able to use a browser, or create a document and so on and so forth, but will be prevented from seeing the data/files/folders and applications - the way you have set them up - you see when you are logged in.
To create a guest account go to system preferences>accounts
hope this helps

Can't send gmail in mail app after maverick update

After the update to OS X 10.9.3, I am able to receive gmail in mail but not send it. I deleted the accounts few times and reinstalled them and nothing solves the problem. I went to the genius bar and the person was useless. She told me to contact google.
My personal gmail account works fine but not my two business gmail accounts. Anyone else having this problem and were you able to find a solution?

Check Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Email Account -> Account -> Advanced
Is your server port set to 993?

IMAP + Gmail: will mail.app search function work for 100% of messages?

This feels like a dumb question, but haven't found any discussion of this issue on the forum.
I'm considering switching some accounts including Gmail to IMAP. I'm accustomed to having all mail stored locally on mail.app - and frequently search that whole universe (we use mail as an info archive).
The dumb question is what happens to an account that is switched from POP to IMAP? Specifically, when there is no internet connection (often for us, sailing around the world on our yacht).
Thanks in advance!

Clarification: I forgot to say that I have configured my Gmail IMAP test account in Advanced to "Keep copies of messages for offline viewing".
But it isn't clear whether this applies to every msg on the server, or just to new mail sent/received since the IMAP connection was established.
I am afraid to convert one of our big primary addresses to IMAP until I'm sure that it will work as we require. Again, it isn't clear what happens to say a Gmail account when you switch it from POP to IMAP then back to POP again. What happened to the local copies of the traffic during the IMAP period.
Lastly, can an IMAP account be accessed via POP without messing anything up?

Can someone explain Gmail in Mail app?

I've got my Gmail email account hooked up with the Mail app on my iMac. I don't understand it at all.
In my inbox I have both my iCloud and Gmail inboxes. There is an email I recieved today that has 4 attached pdfs. If I select that email in the inbox the attachments don't show. The text is there and there is a link to ups tracking, but no attachments.
But then down the sidebar in my email app there is a section for Gmail. If I go to that part of my mail app and select the All Mail icon and then select the same email I see the PDFs.
So the first question is:
Why does the same email look different in the different locations?
The second question is:
Why are there two Gmails in my Mail app!?!
Also the third question is something I posted a while ago (but never got an answer to):
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18768216#18768216

Anybody? Does anybody use Mail.app to read Gmail?

Sending GMAIL from Mail.app generates multiple items in Trash

I just recently began using Mail.app for my Gmail and I’ve got a problem. I noticed that when I draft a short Gmail and send it out, I get multiple copies of the e-mail in Trash. But each copy there contains only a few words from the original. For example, the first copy may contain only the first three words of the original. Subsequent copies in Trash display the remainder of the original. I sent out a 20 word e-mail and it was broken down into 10 different entries in Trash. Anyone else have the same problem?

jackgm,
I have to Gmail accounts; a free account, and a university Google Apps (.edu) account. Both accounts behave exactly the same on three different Macs.
The bottom line is it's a pretty well known issue with Apple Mail and Gmail. The easiest solution is to turn off "Save Drafts on Server".
It's a minor annoyance but hardly a major issue. For a long while, if you mapped Sent in Mail.app to the Sent Items folder in Gmail, you'd get duplicate copies of all your sent e-mails--Apple has since fixed this (thankfully).

Using Gmail with Mail.app and Notes

I have the preference set to store notes on Gmail's server. If I create a note on my Mac it just looks like a funny message through Gmail with the subject and the body the same and the sender as (Unknown Sender) which is no big deal but I would like to be able to create notes with Gmail because I have a G1 and use it constantly.
Is there a way to create a note with Gmail so that it shows up like a note in Mail.app?

Open the Print & Scan preference pane in System Preferences and delete the print queue, then add it back. If there's no change, reset the printing system.

Gmail and Mail app

I'm coming from a Windows 7 machine and Outlook. Gmail is my primary email. Here are my questions:
1. How do I access other mailboxes other than 'inbox' and 'trash'?
2. I have custom filters set up in gmail to keep certain emails out of my inbox. They are ending up in my Mac email inbox anyway.
3. Some of my sent emails are being copied to my inbox.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Here are the complete instructions for setting Gmail with Apple mail app. Hope this helps!
