Gmail Standalone App Mac

OS X 10.8.5 is Mountain Lion. In the future posting in the correct forum gets the best results.

Gmail, Calendar & Contacts. Manage all your Gmail, Calendar and Contacts accounts in Mailplane instead of cluttering up your browser window. All-in-one app with Apple-like keyboard shortcuts. No separate set-up required. Mailplane's notifier lets you know how many unread messages are in your inboxes, right from your Mac's menu bar. Use Gmail offline. To use Gmail when you’re not connected to the Internet, go to mail.google.com, or click the bookmark you created for Gmail offline in Chrome. Note: When you send emails offline, your email goes into a new 'Outbox' folder and gets sent as soon as you go back online.


Under Windows in the Menu bar select Connection doctor. You will see green to indicate a connection and red to show there is a problem. You can click on more details button, but with multiple accounts this is often hard for some users to read result. Except for iCloud account you'll see two entries for each account 1) receiving and 2 SMTP for sending.

Sending issues usually involve SMTP settings.


EDIT SMTP SETTINGS


In Accounts window > Outgoing Mail Server SMTP: select to Edit SMTP Server list.. from popup


Select account in the list.(It's not uncommon to find extra SMTP servers listed. When you remove account, Mail does not delete the smtp info. You might need to do some clean up in the list to remove the extras.)


Under Advanced Tab:



/remove-hidden-app-mac.html. Apple defaults to the default ports (25,465, 587) but some servers prefer a custom port. Check to see what port they recommend. Gmail for example likes 465, Outlook.com 587.


Verify if your server require SSL. Both Gmail and Outlook.com require SSL.


User Name. Enter full email address eg. UserName@gmail.com

Add password if it is blank. (If you have two step authentication setup, you'll need to get an app specific password more info)


Open Connection Doctor under Window in the Menu bar.

Do you see green light now for your account SMTP?

Hi there iteachmusic,


Gmail Standalone App Mac Desktop

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. I understand you’re having some issues using your Gmail account with Mac Mail. I’ll be happy to help with this.


First, if you only want to use Gmail, not iCloud, that’s fine. To ensure you don’t have iCloud enabled, open up System Preferences > Internet Accounts then select iCloud from the group and make sure Mail is not checked.


Once you’ve done that, take a look at this article for what to do if you’re getting the Login Failed message due to a password issue on your Gmail account:
