I'm looking for a good gmail app for iPhone, any suggestions? I have iMailG right now and it's not cutting it.

It’s called, wait for it…. “Mail” What about the native app wasn’t cutting it for you?

My friend has a brand new (last month or so) MacBook, but having Mail problems. She's set it up with a Gmail account (which she only got, again, in the last month or so), but is having trouble sending and receiving.

Even for simple, one line, text emails, the Outbox is appearing for hours, and the 'Outgoing message' bar never disappearing - it keeps getting stuck. In contrast, I never even get to see my Outbox!

I also use Gmail through Mail, so she brought her Mac to mine to test it with my network. Same network, same settings, same Mail preferences, same Account preferences, same server settings - the whole shabang. But it's still not working.

She's in her final year at school and applying for uni, so naturally doesn't want to risk any important UCAS emails not sending or coming in properly. She'd also be happier not to use the browser, just for convenience.

I'm usually the go-to guy for Mac issues, but I'm stumped, absolutely nonplussed. Any idea what the issue is? Cheers, as always!

Almost sounds like you’ve got a port number off or something. Or maybe SSL not enabled when you should. Or, you’ve got SSL setup but using the non-SSL port.

I’d also take a look in Console to see if Mail is throwing any errors in the background.

Can you have 2 email accounts in the Mac Mail app?

Absolutely. Just go into the preferences, under Accounts and click the + button.

Apple Mail should delete items properly when using IMAP. One thing you may want to check out is the mailbox behavior in the account settings. Mail may need to be told which folder to treat as Trash so that the IMAP sync properly happens (and so you can empty that trash and have the items actually be deleted on the server).

Tschüss!
