flag Email client won't accept your password? 
  Attempts to download or send mail are failing. You might get a message about how your credentials aren't valid, or your email client might keep asking you for your password, over and over.

Can someone please help me make sense of Gmail IMAP on Mac? 
  I want to switch to Gmail from MobileMe (blech!), but I'm so utterly confused by the Gmail setup within Apple Mail. I've also been looking at using GyazMail, but can't quite get it working right either. Apple Mail has a Sent folder, Drafts folder, etc. Gmail seems to duplicate all of this. I read the help files and followed the... more »

iPhone not getting IMAP notification of new email 
  I have set up my gmail account with IMAP enabled. I can manually check for new email and if I delete a mail item on my iPhone that change will be reflected on my account. This makes me think I have IMAP set up correctly. Next I send an email to my gmail account from my office account and wait. No notification. After waiting a few minutes, if I launch the... more »

Downloading e-mails on two computers using gmail 
  After reading a hundred posts and being unable to find out how to download e-mails on two computers I finally figured it out. The process is actually so simple that I was surprised I did not know before. If you have been trying to do this for a while you probably have probably heard the "recent" and IMAP ways to solve this problem.... more »

Differentiate between multiple addresses/accounts 
  I have 2 gmail addresses. One for personal use and the other for online purhchases/web groups. The latter is forwarded to the first so I do not need to check each account continually. However, I'd like to be able to look at the inbox and differentiate which account an email has been sent to. Like have acct A in red and acct B in blue, or... more »

Fetching sent mail from smtp 
  The answer to this question may be that it cannot be done, but I feel the need to ask. What I am seeking is a way to have Gmail fetch email that has been sent from an smtp connection (in this case my iPhone). I have tried using the recent: prefix but that will only fetch mail that has been sent through the email interface.... more »
