Getting Mail 5.2 to work with Gmail

I have the same problem. Yesterday OSX updated. Presumably something changed in the mail app. Today, my previously working gmail account no longer works - cannot send. My gmail account is via Google Apps for business, so it uses my own domain name. Looking at the error messages, it looks as if it is only using the prefix of my email address as the user name, whereas with 'google apps for business' gmail, you need to put the whole email address in.

This is pretty annoying - anyone got any suggestions?

Yes, put the full username (inc domain) in Mail.

Hi Carose,

From what I read in various forums, if you just start again, and put in your gmail account user name and password, it should set it all up for you. I think my problem was an issue with the update of the mail app going wrong.

This only works if your address is @gmail.com, if you have a Google Apps account it may not work, or may not set the account type correctly.

Hi,

i have a same problem my compny domain works in gmail but when im trying to configure it in my Mail 5.2 than its not happening can any one plz help me out plzzzzzz

Surprising- seems like this issue has been out for over a year, esp. w/rt to googleapps for business users. Any clues?

Have double checked and rebuilt smtp server settings multiple times to no avail. This seems silly- ThunderBird works awesome...

Google Apps Mail incoming:

Google Apps Mail outgong (smtp):

,

Set it up the same as posted, use your own credentials

I really have tried setting it up exactly this way multiple times. Many thanks for the response.

Try these instructions:

I get everything that's been said, and done it all, but the smtp server always shows up offline. doesn't matter if I set it up through the system prefs or otherwise... really surprised I can't get this to work.

Take a screenshot of your settings, blot out your address and post it here, I have never known G.Apps accounts not to work when set correctly.

Can someone tell me if it's possible to forward my Apple Mail to Gmail? If so... how?

Hi skanderspies,

Have you tried to ping smtp.gmail.com and imap.gmail.com with Network Utility?

Yeah, using the network utility seems to work- everything is running fine at this point.

Now that Apple has pulled the plug on MobileMe & requires us to have Lion as our OS, I'm in a pinch with a MacBook Pro OS 10. 4.11 (Tiger). A good friend who works at Apple & has the same computer tried to upgrade to Lion and her computer could NOT handle it, speed was at a crawl – so bad that she reverted her computer back to Tiger. This convinces me not to try upgrading to Lion. Problem is, now I can't use Apple Mail on my computer -or- access my email via a browser. That's why I'd like to know how to forward my email from my Apple address to Gmail. If anyone can help me with this, I'd really appreciate it.

Csound1's suggestion fixed the problem and it was a very simple solution. I have a G.Apps account and I simply had to use my full email address for the username instead of just the first part. Mail 5.2 by default cuts off the "@domain.com" and that seemed to be the problem.

Hi,

I really tried my best to find the solution but still no luck.

I am using apple mail with my account with google doc which has limit for mails. Now i planned to use apple mail to keep the backup of my mails and delete the mails with larger attachement on gmail google doc account.

My problem is when i delete emails from gmail account it gets deleted from Apple mail aswell.

I am trying for solution for almost last 6 months but no luck.

Please help.
