Gmail For Mac Mail
Mail User Guide
- Apr 26, 2020 Open the 'Settings' app and tap on your Apple profile found at the top of the menu. Here, tap on the 'iCloud' option. Now, scroll down and tap on the toggle next to the 'Mail' option. Your iCloud email has now been disabled and will no longer appear in the Apple Mail app.
- In your browser, log into your Gmail account. Under Settings Forwarding and Pop & IMAP, make sure it's still set as POP. Note: Your best option would be to use Gmail as IMAP. Testing in a new User will quickly tell you if the problem is system wide or if it's your User's folder that contains the problem.
In the Mail app on your Mac, a disabled email account is dimmed in the list of accounts in Mail preferences, and its mailboxes and messages aren't shown in the Message viewer.
Sign in to iCloud to access your photos, videos, documents, notes, contacts, and more. Use your Apple ID or create a new account to start using Apple services.
Do one of the following:
Turn on accounts in Mail: Choose Mail > Preferences, click Accounts, select the inactive account, click Account Information, then select 'Enable this account.'
Turn on accounts in System Preferences: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Internet Accounts, select an account, then select the Mail checkbox.
Mac Mail Not Working With Gmail
Mail User Guide
Use the Mail app to send, receive, and manage email for all of your email accounts in one location. Simply add the accounts—such as iCloud, Exchange, Google, school, work, or other—you want to use in Mail.
Add an email account
The first time you open the Mail app on your Mac, it may prompt you to add an account. Select an account type—if you don't see your type, select Other Mail Account—then enter your account information.
If you already added an email account, you can still add more. In Mail, choose Mail > Add Account, select an account type, then enter your account information. Make sure the Mail checkbox is selected for the account.
If you're using an account on your Mac with other apps, such as Contacts or Messages, you can also use that account with Mail. In Mail, choose Mail > Accounts to open Internet Accounts preferences, select the account on the left, then select the Mail checkbox on the right.
Temporarily stop using an email account
In the Mail app on your Mac, choose Mail > Accounts.
Select the account, then deselect the Mail checkbox.
Now the account's messages are not shown in Mail.
To use the account again with Mail, select the Mail checkbox; the account's messages are shown again (they don't need to be downloaded from the server again).
Remove an email account
When you remove an email account from Mail, the account's messages are deleted and no longer available on your Mac. Copies of messages remain on the account's mail server and are still available (from webmail, for example).
Important: If you're unsure whether messages you want to keep are still on the mail server, move or copy them to a mailbox stored on your Mac (the mailbox appears in the On My Mac section in the Mail sidebar) before you delete the account in Mail.
