Corrupted incoming for Gmail account mail server settings

After the upgrade to El Capitan, Mail was working fine, but then stopped working for my account Gmail after a few reboots of the mail app and maybe a reboot of the system. I found that my outgoing mail server settings were not accurate, then I fixed it those. Others have reported on this subject.

I have another problem, however. My server settings for the account of Gmail incoming mail are corrupt. Instead of imap.gmail.com, incoming mail server settings are imap.mindspring.com. Probably, it is that I got my return e-mail address set on my mindspring email when sending the Gmail account.

This field is locked for editing. How should I do? I don't want to remove the e-mail account and recreate completely. I'm very comfortable to do low-level stuff if anyone has some type of command line or other fixes.

Thanks for any help.

Awesome. AppleScript to the rescue:

say application "Mail" to the value server name of the account ' GMail ' to 'imap.gmail.com '.

and in fact.

  • Windows 8 Mail App - for Gmail accounts, how to remove archive button?

    I have some Gmail accounts, I'm trying to make it work in the application Mail in Windows 8.  The problem is that if I press the button Delete in the top right of the app, it sends my e-mail message to the trash in Gmail, where he get permanently deleted after 30 days.  I want to remove the button to simply remove the element from its current location and "archive" instead (not go in the trash).  I need this so that I can keep the search of old messages history.

    I checked in my Gmail settings (on their site) and on the tab "transfer and POP/IMAP", I already have ' auto clear on ' and 'Archive' message when a message is marked as deleted.

    Plus, I saw that other support posts here who say the default by pressing the button Delete for them is the exact opposite of what I see (they say archives instead of cops).  I am completely confused about it since that's what I want, but don't see anything else to try to get it.

    Can someone please give some insight on how to get this working?  I have my iPad Mail app works very well in this regard.  But this question, it is difficult to make the switch from my Surface Pro.

    I found a solution!

    It's pretty simple.

    1. go in Gmail settings - labels

    On the right side of the screen, you can select records show in imap.

    2. remove the ckeckmark then in bin/basket

    Now, the trash will not be displayed in imap (as the Win 8 messaging application) e-mail applications.

    3. now, go to the windows mail application 8. If you still see a Bin or Trash, folder synchronization (right-click - option to the left)

    4. open the charms bar (drag in from the right side of the screen or move your mouse cursor to the top right of the screen and then down). Go to settings - accounts - choose your gmail account. Scroll to the bottom of the settings panel

    You will now see an option of folder in which you want to use as trash! See attached picture

    5. choose [Gmail] \All Mail as the basket

    Fact! Now when you delete an email it will be archived.

    Impossible to believe there is even a solution, I couldn't find one on the web, he found by chance. Hope this will help a lot of people. Now if only Microsoft and Google that would place in their official faq...

  • No option to change the password for Gmail/Yahoo mail

    Updated for Sierra and want to change your Gmail and Yahoo mail password, but the interface has changed and I don't see any option for their setting in preferences/Server Mail or Internet accounts settings.

    What is going on?

    Open Keychain Access and find the entries for these accounts. Either, remove them will cause Mail to ask you for the password or change the entry to provide the new password.

    To change, double-click the entry, and then click the show password check box. Enter your user account password (or password in Keychain so you changed it).

  • Publisher uses gmail as mail server

    Hi, did anyone use gmail as the mail host for sending e-mail to the editor? Difficult to determine the appropriate settings. In Publisher, you can specify the server name, port, host and username and password, but I was not able to successfully send a message to a gmail account. I work with someone who uses gmail as their provider of hosted messaging (i.e. not [email protected] but [email protected]). Any help would be great. Thank you!

    Public mail servers (hotmail, yahoo, gmail, etc.) require you to use TLS (secure connection).
    Current version of BI Publisher does not have such a feature not even in 11g.
    There is a demand for improvement in 11g (ER 9497956).

    In short, it is currently possible.

    See you soon

  • BlackBerry smartphones change to another IMAP mail server settings

    Hello

    I'm an Admin for a treatment centre and one of our psychiatrists has a BB tour. He asked me the other day if I could set up his email account on our server for him on his phone. Through the messaging configuration wizard, I selected "Other" account and configure for IMAP, and then he asked me his email address and the password. He took the domain name and assured that the names of mail servers have been so. Now in a perfect world, this would not be a problem. I recently picked up a complete idiot and this guy has our MX records pointing to a 3rd party company where all of our outside emails go and then Outlook clients are set up at the pop of this box, in addition to the installation of Exchange (I know its totally lame). Ive done everything everyone what just configure an IMAP account with the IP address of the server and mail works very well for them. I can't for the life of find me where I can actually change the names of e-mail server for the IMAP account, I have create on his tour of BB. Is this a limitation of the phone? Or I'm in the right place. Thank you!

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    You must use the Advanced Integration, via the BIS carrier site, and you may need to 'false' on the first step... give the email address valid but a false password... then you'll be able to get to the screens that allow you to indicate the specific server names.

    Good luck!

  • Enabling OAuth2 on GMail account existing (bug 1176773)

    I just upgraded to Thunderbird 38.0.1 version 37.something, and I can't seem to get to work with my existing GMail account OAuth2.

    My settings are:
    Username: [email protected]
    Server: imap.google.com
    Port: 993
    Security: SSL/TLS
    Authentication: Normal password

    It worked and still works fine. However if I then replace authentication OAuth2, save and restart Thunderbird, I receive the following error message when you try to visit my gmail account: 'IMAP server [email protected] does not support the selected authentication method.

    I tried Googling, but I can't seem to find any word on how to configure with GMail beyond OAuth2 to market. So any ideas on how to get this working?

    The name of the server must be imap.googlemail.com and smtp.googlemail.com respectively.
