OS X Yosemite :: MacBook Pro / Gmail Won't Send Messages
Nov 30, 2014
I tried the 'Connection Doctor' for my Gmail account and it shows to verify username and password. What the settings should be for a Gmail account should be? port #, etc? when i clicked on 'password' extender, like 4 different subjects come up but not sure if i should click on one of those? I believe it did state using 'SSL' and Port 587.
I have a 2009 MacBook Pro, upgraded with Yosemite 10.10. I would like to use my Gmail account to mail an IPhoto movie clip downloaded from a Canon Elph. The screen says that Gmail can't send an I Photo movie ?
Info: MacBook Pro (15-inch 2.53 GHz), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
I have been trying to send an email using my gmail account on my iMac. It keeps bouncing back to me saying "Cannot send message using the server gmail." I don't have the issue on my iPhone or iPad not sure what the issue is with my iMac.
I made a new account because it wouldn't let me log in on my old account and now it seems as if it's working but it won't send or receive ANY messages. This application used to work so I don't understand.
I've setup my Gmail IMAP account in Mail 5.3. I've configured my gmail account to only show in imap the inbox, sent mail, junk and drafts to get rid of the pesky "All Mail" box. Sending emails from Mail works fine (and they've been copied into my gmail sent box as well), but Mail stopped downloading new messages in the inbox after the initial setup. I don't have any filters on.

I went to send a message from my apple mail (gmail account) and it won't send. Says smtp.gmail.com is offline. I didn't change any settings but when I went in to check them, they were all gone. I added back smtp.gmail.com under description and my complete email address under server name. I then went to advanced settings and made sure the Use default ports (25, 465, 587) was checked and also Use Secure Sockets Layer was checked. I chose Password for authentication and added my complete email address for user name with my password. It still says I'm offline and won't sent a message.
I've been having an issue with my AIM that I use through iChat. It will give me a dialog box stating that I am unable to send a message. Then when I quit iChat and restart it... my AIM buddy list fails to appear.
So I have gmail set up on MBP 13". For some reason it keeps loading my sent items and storing them in a folder called "Recovered Messages" and it is constantly reloading this folder with items that were sent back from Oct 29th specifically one item that I keep trying to move to the trash, but it keeps trying to move it back to the recovered folder? This is screwing everything up and is not allowing any messages to be brought into the inbox, I may have screwed something up because now I can not get any new messages and am not alerted to new messages with the postage stamp icon!
So is there a way to start over from scratch? Basically just wipe out the gmail account and re-setup what I have? I can login to it using Safari and everything is fine, but that just seems like a waste when I could one-click the postage stamp and have instant access to my email. I have searched and searched and could not find anything specifically for this problem and even tried gmails website to no avail.
I purchased my Macbook Pro (late 2013) Retina last month and it was fine to send and receive messages through imessage.I will see a notification for the message, but when actually going into the imessage, the message is shown after maybe 5 minutes.
I am having issues sending attachments through my Gmail mac mail. The file I tried to send was only 23kb so I know that it was not over the limit. It sat there in the outbox for about 15 seconds and then said it cannot send it on the server. It has done this to me before with larger files that still should have been sent.
I go to my Yahoo account and it sends the same files with ease..
I have a quick question...I really don't like the feature of gmail where it saves your sent messages into the inbox. Instead, I would like them restricted to the "Sent Mail" folder so I don't have to sift through my own messages I sent. Does anyone know how I can do this?
My Gmail has not been able to send emails for 2 days. All emails have been stucked in the outbox folder. Sometimes i got a message " smtp google server" or something like that.
I do not use a gmail app. It is the envelope icon on the bottom of the ipad that i use to access my emails.
I have suddenly problems with using gmail, facebook, adc, etc. Everything was ok until yesterday afternoon. Since then I am unable to open i.e. gmail messages, facebook (anything but the home page), log in into the adc, etc ... It looks like pages where complex Javascript is used cause the problems. I am using a macbook pro with the latest software updates installed. I have tried on Safari 4, FF 3, Opera 9. I checked on my other two iMacs I have in-house ... same problem, although they are running Safari 3. The curious thing is that the only PC we have in-house works without problem on all those web sites. I have also switched off all devices on the network to see if there is no influence and i can't find no anormal traffic on the local network either. I thought about some kind of virus and erased my hard disk and re-installed from the original DVD.
So I am not sure how I got this virus or what happened...but somehow --a virus logged into my gmail account and sent out 500 random messages. The messages themselves are odd...they have no subject, then it has a random link to a website with a domain ending co.cc. Anyone know what this virus is? Importantly, how do I get rid of it?
I am having a problem with my mail and gmail issues. I set up a gmail account a couple year ago, I recently bought a mac and set up my mail account with it. The problem i am having is the following When i send an email from gmail (on safari) i always get it sent to my mail window also It's not the end of the world but its really annoying Does any one know how to get rid of this?
My new employer uses Gmail as there email serves. It is a Japanese company and when I log into Gmail, even using the translator, most of the controls and text is still in Japanese.
Can I use Safari (like I do with other accounts) to send and receive email via googles email servers?
I assume I need googles send and receive server info (IMAP or POP)?

macmail mail will only load one outgoing GMAIL mail server. So I can load as many accounts as I want, receive mail in mac mail, but when i send mail it only comes from one of the outgoing gmail mail servers. The rest of the gmail mail servers show as being "offline."
I have the newest imac and had to have a new hard drive put in, and now when I try to send an email with gmail it won't go. I also downloaded OS X Yosemite also yesterday, so I don' know if my gmail isn't working because of the new hard , or the new OS X I downloaded.
I can send emails from my Ipad with no problem, but not from my Imac, and I,m only 5ft from the Imac.
I have Mail checking my [URL] address. I want to use Mail to also check my Gmail account. No problem in setting that up... done already. Here's the issue: I have more than 1.1GB of mail in my Gmail account, including file backups on Gspace. I don't want Mail to download all those messages... only the past week or so, then move forward with Mail downloading new Gmail messages only. Is there a way to tell Mail NOT to download my entire Gmail history?

I have my Apple Mail configured for use with my Gmail IMAP account but I have a problem. From the Apple Mail app, I can not see messages that were sent while in the web version of Gmail. To me, if I have it configured via IMAP, anything I do on my phone, I should see on my mac. Anything I do on my mac, I should see anywhere from the web app. Am I doing something wrong? Can YOU see messages you sent through the web portal, on your Apple Mail app?
I have my Gmail account set up through Mail,but I cannot figure out how to keep it from removing my messages from the Gmail server. Everytime Mail downloads a message its gone from my web based Gmail. Is there anyway to disable this?
