Yosemite Mail Imap and Gmail

Since upgrading to Yosemite, Mail has been constantly synching with the gmail server - it may stop for a moment but starts right back up. I know this because I have the Activity window open. Consequently there is often a significant lag between clicking Send on a new message and it being sent, or new messages being downloaded.
I've:
Zapped Pram, repaired permissions, disk is ok, Deleted the account, deleted all the accounts, rebooted, rebuilt mailboxes, everything I've read online in the last 2 weeks.
The only odd message I see in Console is the following and there is one for each folder.
implementation_added_client : failed to add client for path /Users/stoner/Library/Mail/V2/[email protected]/Vendors.mbox/CDW-MacWarehouse.mbox/60263398-70AA-40D0-A33C-4D27997F5A7B/Data
Can anyone offer any advice on what the problem might be and how I might fix it.
Thanks,

Mail app constantly synching with iCloud server after upgrade to Mavericks

No solution here, but I have either the same or a similar problem. Apple Mail with Gmail (IMAP) used to work fine with Mavericks.
Now with Yosemite most emails load ok, but some show the spinning wheel and "Loading..." message forever. These messages never load.
I also have Thunderbird and it loads and shows these messages just fine. The messages that don't load in Mail are simple plain text messages so it's unrelated to complex attachments and such.
Clearly something is broken in Yosemite that wasn't broken in Mavericks.

Mail, IMAP, and Gmail, yet another conundrum.

This has been well publicized and I have even asked about it before, but got no reply. What is the problem with Mail Notes being duplicated in an enormous volume. Is it just the way IMAP works or is it a Gmail thing or just me being the problem not setting up something correctly? I would love to use notes but Mail repeatedly makes copies in my Gmail folder and in my inbox. I just want one copy in my inbox accessible anywhere(e.g. iPhone) without a ton of copies to deal with. I have tried switching some settings around like the "don't store this thing on the server" setting but nothing works.
Any input is welcome
Thanks,
Alex

This is what the folder structure of my IMAP Gmail looks like in Apple Leopard Mail:
MAILBOXES
Inbox (Comment: emails come in here)
Sent
Trash
IMAP Gmail (Comment: that's the title I gave it)
[Gmail]
All Mail
Drafts
Sent Mail
Spam
Starred
Trash
Junk Email
Sent Items
Trash
Incoming emails arrive in the Inbox, just under the words MAILBOXES. Unlike yourself, I do not see any emails coming into the [Gmail] folder.
I have never been asked to accept a certificate.
Don't think this helps you, but it does indicate another Gmail IMAP configuration on Leopard Mail that is not having the same problems as you.

Keep on getting double notification from my default mail app, and gmail app, how do i make google my primary one?

This is probably not the answer to all your questions, but I am sure it answers some.
Unlike Word and InDesign, FrameMaker's anchored frames, which hold graphics, "hang" from their insertion points, typically at the end of the paragraph. An anchored frame that follows a paragraph is set to be below the line, the line being the last line in the paragraph. If you turn on View > Text Symbols, you will see a marker that indicates the point from which the anchored frame is hanging.
If the anchored frame is taller than the available space, it is moved to the next page ALONG with that last line. If the paragraph style/tag has a widow/orphan lines number that is more than 1, then that number of lines are also moved to the next page, because the paragraph tag says to keep that many together, EVEN if there is space at the bottom of the previous page.
So, you can set the widow/orphan lines number smaller OR as you have done put a blank line before the anchored frame, which now holds the marker for the anchored frame, and set its font size to 2 pt (the lowest FrameMaker allows) and its line height to zero. This is the standard workaround UNLESS you use the line above the anchored frame as the title/caption of a figure, which is also a typical way of dealing with FrameMaker's ways.
To my knowledge, one cannot change the default of the checked cropped box. Maybe others know of some way to change this.
There is no page break in FrameMaker, hence there is no symbol for it. In the paragraph designer for the paragraph, you set to Start of the paragraph to Top of page. Top of page is FrameMaker's equivalent to a page break. To "remove" a page break, set the Start of the paragraph to Anywhere.
Since you are new to FrameMaker, I suggest reading throught the User Manual that comes with FrameMaker. You will likely find the answers to most of your questions there.
Hope this helps,

Confusion with mail.app and Gmail using imap

I've had a yahoo.com email address for years, and pay for Mail Plus and POP3, which I frankly don't even use. Now that I've confirmed, however, that I can successfully forward emails from my yahoo box to my new gmail box, I'd like to look into setting up mail.app for the gmail account using imap. Like most people, I access my mail from several places (home & work computers, Touch, and others), and imap makes sense as the right way to go.
Last night I tried to set things up on mail.app on the Mac, and boy was it confusing in terms of the folders, etc. Is there someplace someone can point me for a sort of "beginner's guide to setting up Gmail/imap with mail.app"? Hopefully this "guide" would give me some hints on setting up various rules, etc. that would allow me to have a setup that makes sense: only one copy of emails, sent items in the sent items folder, etc.
One more thing: can I set up Gmail/imap with more than one email client? For example, can I use mail.app at home and Thunderbird on the Windows computer in my office? And how is the creation of new folders (or labels, I guess, as Gmail calls them) on the web handled by mail.app (or Thunderbird)? I'm guessing that a new label created on Gmail on the web doesn't automatically result in a folder being created in mail.app (or Thunderbird), or does it? If this is correct (no folder created in mail.app until I create it on the Mac), is the message that was moved to a folder on the web found in mail.app in the All Messages folder (or whatever it's called)?
Sorry for the basic nature of these questions...this all seems pretty complicated, and I'd like to get it right the first time. Thanks.

BTW Thanks for the "head's up" that GMail now supports IMAP (I've been waiting for it!)
I'm not sure what your confusion is, other than maybe the confusion between how folders and messages work in Outlook versus Apple Mail and IMAP. I've used both, and several other mail programs over the years.
IMAP permits you to have directories which contain message folders. I make the distinction, because Outlook allows you to message folders which contain messages AND other message folders. I believe most implementations of IMAP do not allow messages inside of directories. Thus, a directory looks like a message folder, but it may only contain message folders, and not individual messages.
Now, GMail appears to create message folders for each label you define in GMail, and messages which have several labels appear in each folder. If you copy the folders to your computer, you WILL have multiple copies of those messages, however if you leave them on the server, GMAIL does all the work and you only have one copy of each message.
Special folders in GMail are all located in the directory [Gmail] and include the message folders "All Mail", "Drafts", "Sent Mail", "Spam", "Starred" and "Trash". Notice I say "directory" and not "message folder" for "[Gmail]". That is important.
I cannot attest as to what GMail does when you create a folder from your mail.app client, as I have not done that yet. I would venture a guess that it will define a GMail label and mark any messages you "move" to that folder with that label. The GMail special folder "All Mail" contains all of your mail messages, and is equivalent to selecting "All Mail" when using the web interface.
Your inbox messages will appear in the section with all of your inboxes at the top of your mailbox list. Make sure that you set your preferences to match the recommended preferences for Apple Mail when setting up your GMail account. Otherwise you will end up with duplicates and/or a lot of unnecessary data transfers to your Mac.
Hope this helps. If not, please give a more explicit example of something that doesn't work the way you expect.

Mail 3 and gmail issues, notes/todo's in Mail

Hello,
I use Mail 3 with my google mail account using IMAP.
I'd like to use the new notes/todo function provided by Mail. When I create a new note, it will be reset to the default values after a minute or two.
And it doesn't appear in my iCal calender(s) at any time.
I've tried both provided ways to store the notes: as mail on the server and as a local one. The problem is always the same.
When I delete the "notes mail" from my gmail account using the web interface, Mail 3 hangs when I terminate it. Removing the note using Mail 3 solved this.
But has anyone here an idea how I can use the notes feature with my gmail account (IMAP)? And is it possible to see my reminders in the calender?
Thank's for every good idea,
Felix

The Gmail app is a direct link to Gmail so deleting from the Gmail app will delete said email however from the default email app that is simply put a forwarding address so the email will not be deleted - It may be deleted or made exempt from future sync'ing but you often find that if the email hasn't fully loaded then it will be seen as unread and will reappear

How do I delete a message? Using Imap and gmail

I am using imap with gmail in apple mail for leopard. I get the idea that when you press the delete button it only deletes the inbox tag and it is still available for reference in "all mail" on the left window. I like this, it allows me to clear out my inbox and still reference e-mails later. Here is the question... How do I really delete a message, one I truly never care to see again? My "all mail" is getting out of control.

This is what I do:
In preferences, I set my Gmail account as recommended by Google: I UNcheck the "Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox" option under Mailbox Behaviors. Once I do that, clicking "Delete" from the inbox actually archives it into the All Mail, but leaves it in my mailbox.
If there is an email I actually want to delete from my account, I move it from my Inbox to the Trash folder. I do this with a MailActOn keystroke, but you can do it just by moving it or dragging it there.
MailActOn helps a bunch if you have a lot of emails. I process about 300 a day and rely on it for maintaining my sanity, especially since I can set the same keystroke to do different things in different accounts, since I "delete" and "archive" differently for different accounts.

Problem with iMap and Gmail

I am using iMap on the iPhone and Gmail however I have a problem concerning marking messages as read. If I mark a message as read on iPhone it gets marked as read on Gmail but not on my Apple mail client. If I mark something as read on Apple mail it gets marked as read both on Gmail and the iPhone. Can anyone shed any light on this please ?

Hello,
I can't speak on the MAC side, but in Gmail, you need to go into the settings (top left corner when inside Gmail). You can turn this on or off. Once you get to the settings, you'll definately see it.
Good Luck.

Mail.app and Gmail issue

Hi, I am using Gmail (Google Apps) and Apple Mail 3.5. Everything works fine except sending messages. Sent messages are stored in sent folder (right) BUT also in trash folder. Why? Any tips how to set correctly (Sent mail only to Sent folder)? Thank you,
Jakub

Did you ever figure this out? I am having the same problem except that it copies the sent message about 10 times to my trash folder. I am using gmail imap and the sent message also appears (10 times) in the trash folder when I access my email on the web.
Thank You,
Lindsey

Mail.app and Gmail POP download problem

I'm in the process of overhauling my entire email world. At the moment, I'm trying ot download all of my Gmail emails into Mail.app using POP. This isn't working well at all.
My Gmail inbox has over 2000 emails and All Mail has over 9000 emails. POP is enabled in Gmail's setting for "all mail", not just "new mail".
But when I go to download everything Mail.app's activity window tells me it's downloading x of 427 messages (and I have WAY more than that in Gmail!). So, what's going on?! Supposedly Gmail downloads in batches, but even if that's true, it's hanging terribly, even while just working with 427 emails.
Does anyone have experience with this? I'm trying to figure out where the problem lies.... on the Gmail side, or the Mail.app side.
Thanks,
Scott

Since you do not need the All Mail folder when in Mail, you can select via browser and Gmail setting for POP & IMAP to exclude it entirely.
Do a Google search with Gmail and Advanced IMAP Controls. To enable this particular exclusion, sign on to your Gmail account, click on Settings, then on Labs, and enable advanced IMAP control. Once that is done, you can then click on Labels tab in Settings and make some selections.

Mail.app and Gmail Problem

Hi,
I'm surprised I didn't have better luck in finding the solution to this.
Why is it that when I have a new message in my gmail account, I see "1" in both my Gmail inbox and my mailboxes inbox in the Mail.app apple program?
Can you tell me how to get rid of the gmail folder so that I ONLY have the mailboxes folder?
Right now, when I click my mailboxes inbox --> unread message, it gets rid of the (1) but the (1) still stays on my Gmail --> Inbox.
It is just a nuisance. Thanks.

Sent mail - Imap and Pop

Hi,
Until recently I was using Gmail Pop on Apple Mail for my emails. I am now using Imap and things seem to have gotten a bit more complicated.
I would still like to use Gmail Pop on a different computer as backup system. I just opened the Pop Gmail and noticed that while I was able to download all the messages I had sent through Gmail Webmail, I cannot retrieve the messages I sent from Apple Mail (Gmail Imap) directly. All the messages do appear however on the Gmail webmail sent folder (well, I guess I should say label, since Gmail does not use folders).
(Just for clarification, the Webmail sent messages always showed up in my Inbox so, as it was the case in the past, I have to drag them manually to the sent folder. Might not be the the best solution but I am ok with this).
I have the feeling this might have to do with Gmail labels or something like it. Perhaps there is a way of labelling Gmail Imap sent messages in a way that can be downloaded to the Pop account. I would really like to download to my Mail Pop account all my Gmail sent messages.
Thanks,
Pablo

I looked in my user folder and for one important pop account there are two folders:
one has the domain name after the user name and inside that there is a sent messages folder with mbox messages.
However when I was setting the account up it failed and I had to put an IP number in the incomming mail server box to get it online. That account is listed inside my mail folder as well but has no messages.
How do I get them to merge?

Yosemite, Mail, Exchange and X509 signed e-mails

Dear all,
after upgrading to Yosemite Mail is not showing the signing status of X509 signed mails retrevied form an exchange server. Retrieving the same mail from an open source (dovecot) IMAP-server shows the signing status correctly (by displaying "Security: Signed" in the Header). (the e-mail was forwarded for the dovecot/postfix-system to an exchange server while retaining a copy in the system).
From what I see, there seems to be a bug in header parsing since the difference ist that in the IMAP case the end of the header looks:
Content-Type: multipart/signed;
boundary="Apple-Mail=_7F1DCB8E-E95C-489C-9DC1-EE49EFF08CA7";
protocol="application/pkcs7-signature"; micalg=sha1
MIME-Version: 1.0
whereas in the exchange/MAPI-Case the header ends with:
Content-Type: multipart/signed;
boundary="Apple-Mail=_7F1DCB8E-E95C-489C-9DC1-EE49EFF08CA7";
protocol="application/pkcs7-signature"; micalg=sha1
Return-Path: [email protected]
X-MS-Exchange-Organization-AuthSource: EXCHANGE.DOMAIN.NN
X-MS-Exchange-Organization-AuthAs: Anonymous
MIME-Version: 1.0
The additional header lines added by the Exchange server seem to break the header parsing (although from the RFCs it shouldn't).
Maybe someone from Apple can comment on this.
Best regards,
Damian

Ovi Mail IMAP and SMTP servers constantly down

I'm reading my ovi.com emails with a Lumia smartphone and with Outlook. I constantly fail to connect to the IMAP and SMTP server and thereby do not get or cannot send emails. Webmail works fine, but especially sending emails from Outlook or from Lumia is currently impossible. Mails just get stuck to the outbox folder and both Outlook and phone keep asking for the password, as if my password was wrong.
This has happened randomly after the Yahoo transfer, but now it is happening on daily basis. I haven't been able to send emails from my Lumia in a week. The settings both in Outlook and in Lumia are correct, have checked several times. Usually when I leave my phone alone for a night, in the morning it has synced the inbox, but not the Outbox.
Anyone have similar problems?

Ok.. if you guys have a final configuration please share...
I spent all morning and this after over 30min chat with nokia care support... final answer? they told me to contact Yahoo!
In the meantime, I also contacted nokia through tweeter and they were like: .. but nokiamail has been deactivated! I found it strange because my last income email on my cel was on Aug13... and I can still access nokiamail through webpage (www.nokiamail.com) so it´s not dead.
I´m using my name on the site as ******@ovi.com (cool, right?) but I want to have access to it on my ipad and another cel...thx for any help!

Merge Mac/Mail/IMAP and Dell/Outlook/POP

A friend called me with a problem that wads of her email were going missing from Mail. After spending a while there it turned out that she uses email on 3 platforms
MacBook Pro, Mavericks, Mail, IMAP
iPhone 5, IOS7, Mail, IMAP
Her old Dell with Outlook and POP
She is using whichever system is handiest.
Now I know precious little about email but it seems to me that the missing Mail from the Apple platforms is ending up on her Dell because it's got POP.
Q1. Does that seem about right? It looks like the missing mail is there from a cursory scan.
Q2. Assuming that's correct, is there a way to fix this: to get the mail off the Dell and on to her Apple systems?

Having slept on it, I wonder: Could this be solved by
creating an IMAP email account on the Dell alongside the POP one
copying the email subfolders from the POP account to IMAP
allowing this al to percolate via the server to the MacBook and iPhone
Suggestions?

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.
