Q: Lots of mail issues since last Mountain Lion update
Since the last update to Mountain Lion, just a couple of days ago, my mail has gone completely haywire, and I can't figure out why.
First of all, my Mail App on my mid-2010 27" iMac won't get mail anymore. I have to close mail and reopen it every single time to see if I have email, which is quite convenient when you're waiting on replies to something. If I have my iPhone nearby, mail will show up there -- but not on the desktop.
Secondly, my iPhone WAS NOT upgraded to IOS8 (nor will it be!) -- the software was downloaded (against my wishes) and it is just sitting there with a comment that there's not enough memory to install it. So no upgrade on the iPhone -- yet, when I send a photo from my phone to my gmail account, it automatically sends it to my iCloud address -- which is NOT what I want, and it doesn't show up in my Mail App on the iMac! I made no other updates to my phone -- just an upgrade to Mountain Lion on the iMac. Previously, I could take an iPhone photo, mail it to myself, and it would come to my desktop where I could save it there. Now it won't do that. And I didn't make any changes to it. No matter how much I try and change things to get rid of the stupid cloud address, it will not send to my gmail account anymore, and thereby won't end up on my desktop iMac.
This is making things very unusable! Has anyone else had issues, and does anyone have any work-arounds?
