Mail App & Gmail?
ahab | Oct 14 2006
I use Apple's mail.app for everyday email, and had been using it for business purposes as well. But now with a job shift I needed a new, non-private email address and got a gmail account. The question is, am I better off operating gmail through the mail.app interface? Or reserving mail.app for regular personal stuff and moving all the business (publishing) stuff over to gmail? Or forwarding everything from gmail to mail.app? Or? Or? I've read everything I could find on the subject, and while it's been informative it hasn't nudged me toward a useful either/or. I'll be dealing with a lot of incoming manuscripts that want reading and responding and rejecting or filing away for future use. Previously this stuff came to me via an intermediary; now it'll come directly to my gmail address, published on the publisher's website. 21 Comments

 Mail.app fails to recognize Gmail!Submitted by popeye on November 13, 2006 - 3:33pm.
I'm so tantalizingly close I can taste it, but no cigar yet. I've followed your prompts meticulously, double checking all the way, and yet I've failed to get Mail 1.3.11 to harmonize with Gmail. GoDaddy forwards my domain name messages to my ISP's email. I have my ISP set up to forward all my email to my Gmail account. I was advised to do it this rather than to forward direct to Gmail. Well, it works fine, everything gets to my Gmail inbox with no sweat. The problem is my Mail.app will not cooperate with Gmail or the other way around. I can send from Mail.app, but not receive. While I'm not losing any mail (at least, I don't think so), I'm failing in desire to handle all my email from Mail.app. It's a pain to be obliged to read my mail at the Gmail web site. I would be ever so grateful if you could put your finger on what I'm missing. I wish to reiterate, I'm certain I've followed all the steps in creating my Gmail account to a T. » POSTED IN:
