Managing inbox mailbox

Squiggly line?

Pls attach a screenshot, if possible.

Screen shots are taken with Shift + Command + 3 (for entire screen) or Shift + Command + 4 (for a smaller area you would define). You would then use the camera icon in the box used to edit or insert material into this thread to insert the screen shot.

That aside, a squiggly line in mail usually indicates a broken connection to the mail server. Assuming you are using Apple's Mail app, use its menu to go to Windows > Connection Doctor to see that your connections are working properly.

Nope.

Again, once you create the picture (which you did), use the camera icon in the page you are writing this in to add the photo.

Alternatively, you may be able to drag the photo right into the box into which you type.

All you're showing above is a URL which is private, as it goes to your desktop.

How are you getting to what you're showing us? Are you in fact clicking the camera icon as I've shown? Are you then doing a "Choose" in the lower right?

OK, you got them posted this time! And they contain your answer!

Connection to your Google (gmail) is having an issue. That's why you see the squiggly lines.

What do you do now? Well, you might try exiting and restarting the Mail app. If that doesn't work, you might try restarting your Mac.

Can you successfully get to your gmail using Safari (http://www.gmail.com)?

You might consider checking at Mail > Preferences > Accounts > [your gmail account] to make sure your password appears everywhere it should. Check thoroughly there ... look everywhere in that area.

You might also consider going to Mail > Accounts and deleting the gmail account and re-adding it.
