Mac Mail is not receiving new emails, intermittently, that do appear on my iphone

After a certain point in the day, my mac mail program stops receiving emails in one particular account, which is a gmail account. I know I'm missing them because they do appear on my iphone, luckily!

How do I assure that I'm receiving them all on my mac??

Thank you

Ah,


Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?


Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.


Then assuming all your Mail is IMAP & not POP, highlight Inbox, from Mail's Mailbox menu choose Rebuild.
