i have about 15 domain based emails and a couple of Gmail accounts and the iCloud account and frankly i have been constrantly troubleshooting some kind of error. I wish you luck in your quest to tame your email. And lastly, you can use Gmails "Filters" to apply labels to each of those forwarded account emails so they are color coded and can be instantly filtered by clicking on the label in the Gmail sidebar. You can even set up Gmail to allow you to "send as" those accounts. I also have far too many email accounts but I have the majority of them set to forward into the few accouts that I check. One last suggestion is to consider consolidating your many email accounts by funneling them into fewer accounts by using their forwarding options. You can use Google Authenticator on your phone to increase your browser email login security via Google 2-factor that you already have enabled.
But, Google has now streamlined that a bit and on logout it will list your multiple google accounts for easier login. The only annoyance is that you do need to login to each separately. On all laptops and desktops I use my Gmail accounts through the browser (Chrome is my browser of choice). Yes, I currently use three Gmail accounts (regular Gmail and Google Apps both) and 5 Gmail calendars, from my iPhone (iOS 7) without any issues at all. Good luck with your search for an alternative Gmail client. I'm now far more productive that I ever was with a local email client and I can move from computer to computer with no setup or configuration required.
GMAIL APP ON MAC MAC OS X
Just not on the Mac OS X version of Mail.Įither way, I need my email to be reliable and predictable and therefore I now find myself just using the browser for webmail even after years of saying that I would never use webmail over a client application. That doesn't quite make sense to me because Mail on iOS seems to work just perfectly with Gmail accounts (including with app specific passwords). The issue is obviously a combination of Google's non-standard implementation of IMAP and Apple Mail's inability to cope with it. It's unfortionate, but I have read enough troubled posts over the last year to make me recommend anything but trusting Apple Mail and it's interaction with Google accounts. To prove this to yourself you could create a throwaway google account, without 2-factor turned on, and see if you can get that account to work with Mail. Therefore, you will likely have issues even if you turned off two-factor on your Google account (a bad idea as you understand).
GMAIL APP ON MAC PASSWORD
To Mail and keychain, I can't imagine that there is any difference in a typical password and a Google app specific password. My first thought is that this isn't an issue related to app specific passwords at all. Gmail, and even Yahoo mail have come a long way in usability over the last few years. I personally got tired of struggling with numerous mail clients over the years and have now been happily using Gmail through the browser (using Google Authenticator for 2-factor) for years now.
GMAIL APP ON MAC PLUS
Should i spend a hour plus and a couple of bucks with online support and if so is this likely to solve it? if it will it would be a bargain and i would love to do this. to delete anything in your keychain related to GMail settings and enter all your password information again. have a dedicated App Specific password for the outgoing server in addition to the incoming one (not so obvious and i am not even sure this is correct) and B. The closest i got is a 20 page thread on SMTP outgoing server issues in Mac Mail (a problem i also have and have been unable to solve) which seemed to indicate that one should A.
I am considering accessing my GMail account only in a different email client at this point because i have been unable to solve this. however, it is becoming a real work life issue in constantly regenerating codes to put into Mac Mail.ĭoes anyone know - at a minimum - if this is a Mac Mail issue (likely) or if it is a kind of global problem that will also occur in other email clients? and with all the security issues these days i am disinclined to take app specific password setting off my GMail accounts.
I seem to have an ongoing issue with little to no documentation on it.
