I'm on OSX 10.7.5.
Wondered if an upgrade from Apple Mail 5.3 is possible?
It no longer syncs with gmail. Haven't been able to figure out why. Scoured the help pages, but nothing addresses this version of Apple Mail.
Thanks for your thoughts.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
Upgrade to Yosemite to get Mail version 8.2.

ok - I'll look into that.......thanks.
I have my gmail set up as POP instead of IMAP, and it works very nicely. But then, I'm partial to POP and I can't update to Yosemite.
Settings: Account Information:
Incoming: pop.gmail.com, user name is just the first part of your address (before the @), Outgoing: smtp.gmail.com TLS certificate none
Click down on the outgoing server, pick Edit SMTP list, click on the gmail: the Description and server name should be same as the outgoing server.
Click the advanced button: use default ports, use SSL, Password authentication, FULL gmail address
Mailbox Behaviors Tab: set as you like
Advanced Tab:port 995, use SSL, Password authentication
There is a good help section from Google:

Best of luck,
Ellen
PS: I have my gmail set up as IMAP on my Android phone. Every works.
Ellyenne, you're most kind to reply. Thank you. I was able to download and install Yosemite, and that fixed the problem. Sorry I didn't indicate so earlier.
