Apple Mail app can not connect to Gmail

Apple Mail app can not connect to Gmail


Apple Mail is the default email client that comes with every Mac starting from OS X 10.0.Mac users depend on Apple Mail for their day-to-day email use as it gives them an easy way to manage and organize their emails and conversations.It works almost the same way as Microsoft outlook does but give you better features and search opportunities.Apples Mail.app works perfectly fine with all the Email service providers but sometimes it gets quite a few issues with some of the Email service providers, either due to extra layer of security applied by Email service provider or incorrect settings in the Apple Mail app.

ItÕs easy to set up and work with many popular email services like iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, and Microsoft Exchange. Have multiple accounts? No problem.You can set up as many as you want.It works flawlessly but sometimes, some versions of Apple Mail app have been quite famous for having issues with Gmail and to fix this bug Apple released a separate update for Mail app which can be downloaded from App Store or directly from here. 

Here in this article I am going to explain the troubleshooting steps for Gmail connection problem with Apple Mail.

Issue: Gmail Inbox folder/Mailbox shows an exclamation mark, when you click on the exclamation mark it asks to take all the account online and then gives error message "There may be a problem with the mail server or network,verify the settings for Googleor try again.
The server returned the error:Mail was unable to connect to server "imap.gmail.com" using SSL on the default ports.Verify that this server supports SSL and that your account settings are correct."

Showing exclamation mark on Gmail Inbox folder is not the only issue with Gmail, Sometimes it keeps asking for password even after entering the right one.It does not send emails, sometimes it can not send or receive both.These problems also occur due to incorrect settings in mail preferences.So we are going to discuss all those possible reasons with there fixes from basics.Below are some common error messages that you might encounter once in a while with your Apple mail.
  • There was a problem setting up the Mail account. An unknown error occurred.
  • There was a problem setting up the account.Unable to verify account name or password.
  • There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “Gmail” or try again.

2. Make sure the mail server settings are correct  

Sometimes the settings in Apple Mail preferences get altered somehow resulting in mail not connecting.So open the mail preferences window again as opened in Step-1.Check the incoming mail server address and go to the advance tab to check the port no and if the SSL is checked.Match the settings in preferences window with the correct one mentioned below for incoming and outgoing mail server.

Gmail Mail Server Settings

Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
Server : imap.gmail.com
Port: 993
Requires SSL:Yes

Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL
Server: pop.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995

Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS or SSL
Server: smtp.gmail.com
Use Authentication: Yes
Port for TLS/STARTTLS: 587
Port for SSL: 465

Server timeouts Greater than 1 minute, we recommend 5
Full Name or Display Name: [your Full name]
Account Name or User Name: your full email address (including @gmail.com or @your_domain.com)
Email Address: your email address (username@gmail.com or username@your_domain.com)

Password: your recent Gmail password

3. Make sure the imap / pop is enabled for your account

  • Select Settings.
  • Click Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
Apple Mail Can No Connect To Gmail
Enable imap and pop for Gmail
  • Select Enable IMAP/POP.
  • Click Save Changes.
Now go to the Apple mail and check if the Gmail is sending/Receiving emails.If it still does not work move on to next Step 4.

4. Create an app specific password if you have the 2-Step verification turned on   

2-Step verification adds an extra layer of security.Most people only have one layer Ð their password Ð to protect their account. With 2-Step Verification, if a bad guy hacks through your password layer, hell still need your phone or Security Key to get into your account.
2-Step verification sends an authentication code to mobile device immediately after entering the Google Account password.Depending on how you opted to receive the code, by one-time code from the Google Authenticator app on your smartphone or via text message or phone call. You then enter the code to successfully sign in.

To use 2-Step Verification and security keys you must have a mobile phone that can receive the verification code via text message or phone call, or an Android, BlackBerry, or iPhone. These devices use the Google Authenticator mobile app to generate the verification code.

If youve turned on 2-Step Verification for your account, you might need to enter an App password instead of your regular password.An App Password allows 2-Step Verification users to access their account from apps or devices that do not support verification codes.

To create an App password, follow these steps: 
  • Visit your App passwords page. You may be asked to sign in to your Google Account.
  • At the bottom, Click Select app and choose "Mail."
Generate App Password for Gmail
Generate App Password for Gmail
  • Click Select device and choose "Mac."
  • Click Generate.
Generate App Password for Gmail
Generate App Password for Gmail
  • Follow the instructions to enter the App password (the 16 character code in the yellow bar) on your device.
  • Simply Copy this password in yellow bar and Click Done.
  • Go to the password box in Mail preferences and paste it their and close the mail preferences window.Click save if it asks.
  • Reopen the Apple Mail and it should be working fine.
If this still does not fix your problem then move on to next Step-5.

Note: If you go to your App password page and it says the settings you are looking for is not available for your accounts then it means you do not have your 2-Step verification turned on.

Generate App Password for Gmail

If you have iOS 8.3 on your iPhone or OSX 10.10.3 on your Mac, you will no longer have to use App passwords to use 2-Step Verification.

5. Make sure the App is not checking for new mails more than once in every 10 minutes

Make sure your Apple mail app isnt set to check for new emails too often. If your Apple mail app checks for new messages more than once every 10 minutes, the appÕs access to your account could be blocked.
To verify the settings go to the Mail preferences as shown in Step-1 and select General on the top.

Change the settings to Every 15 minutes for checking new messages then close the preferences window and follow the next Step-6.

6. Unblock the Application Access to your Google Account

When youre trying to access your Gmail account for your business or personal use, you may encounter an error that reads "web login required," or "invalid credentials," which prevents you from accessing your account.This problem may stem from the server accessing your Gmail more than once every 10 minutes

As a security precaution, Google may prevent an application from accessing your account if its the first time, this application sign in to your account, or if its attempting to sign in from a new location.If you want to allow this application to access your account, you need to reset the CAPTCHA security characters set for your account.

To Reset CAPTCHA and allow your App, access to your Google Account
  • Navigate to the Google Display Unlock CAPTCHA page . If you are trying to log in to your Google Apps account for your business or website, instead type "https://www.google.com/a/yourdomain.com/UnlockCaptcha" into the browser bar of the problematic device, replacing "yourdomain" with the domain for your website.

  • Click the Continue button below

  • Sign in using the application you want to authorize access to your Gmail account within the next ten minutes. Google will remember the application after it signs in, and will allow it to access your account in the future as long as it uses the correct password.
7. Allow less secure App to Access your Google account

Google may block sign-in attempts from some apps or devices that do not use modern security standards. Since these apps and devices are easier to break into, blocking them helps keep your account safe.
To Allow less secure app to access your account..
  • Go to the "Less secure apps section" in My Account.
  • Next to "Access for less secure apps," select Turn on. (Note to Google Apps users: This setting is hidden if your administrator has locked less secure app account access.)
Turn Access to less secure App On
Turn Access to less secure App On

Now Close all open windows and reopen Mail app to see if Gmail works.If it still does not work move to next Step-8.

8. Delete the expired/revoked certificates and old password entry saved in Keychain

If you still cant sign in to your Gmail account, and get the "password incorrect" or similar error then it might be caused by the old password entry saved in Keychain.

Delete any expired/revoked certificates and old password entry  in Keychain Access along with anything associated with gmail.com.
  • Go to /Applications/Utilities - launch Keychain Access
  • Search for imap.gmail.com and delete the entry for that (presuming you connect via IMAP, otherwise search for pop3.gmail.com)
  • Repeat for smtp.gmail.com

Asus Taichi screen on lid not working backlight off Tech Support

Asus Taichi screen on lid not working backlight off Tech Support


Asus Taichi screen on lid not working -- backlight off

My Asus Taichi works fine in laptop mode, using the inside screen.
ÊIt also works fine if I boot onto the tablet screen on the lid.
ÊHowever, if I switch from the inside screen to the tablet screen, the screen is blank.
ÊUpon further inspection, I realized
the problem is that the backlight is turned off.
ÊI.e., if I shine a flashlight on the screen, I can make out some text, images, and whatnot on the screen -- its just not lit up in a way that can be seen easily.
ÊPutting the machine to sleep and waking it
up doesnt help.
ÊIt seems the only way to turn on the lids backlight is to restart and boot into tablet mode.
This is a problem which began in the past two days.
ÊI suspect it might be a consequence of the recent Windows update.
I request two things as a solution:
1.
ÊI would like to know whether its possible to restart the backlight manually, preferably from a script.
2.
ÊI would obviously like to find a fix which makes the problem resolve itself without case-by-case intervention.

Are You Sure Of Not Having a keylogger in Your System Then Be Sure!

Are You Sure Of Not Having a keylogger in Your System Then Be Sure!


keylogger in Your System
I am sure that you would have heard about keylogger. Many of you might be of the notion that keylogger is a software, but this is not so. Keylogger could be hardware or software. It is meant for both legitimate and illegitimate jobs, but most of the times, it is used by the bad guys to spy on others information.

If you do not want anybody to have an illicit access to your information, you need to know to catch hold of this kind of process that might run in your system without your knowledge. Here is how, you can have a check on this process.


Hardware keylogger:

Hardware keylogger
Hardware keylogger is the device that needs to be connected to the keyboard port. If you happen to locate it, you can have it disconnected, so that the keystrokes are not traced. 

An alternate method of having the hardware keylogger installed is by soldering it into the circuit of the keyboard. To make sure that you do not have it soldered into the keyboard, you need to disassemble the board and find if there is any such thing fixed.

Software keylogger:

There are innumerous Software keyloggers that can be found online. Certain virus or malware programs have the ability to install keyloggers in your computer while running in your system. Most often, the keyloggers are used to have the credentials of important accounts, such as bank, social media, etc.

There are few things that you can do to identify a software keylogger and here they are!

1) Run an antivirus program

You can run an antivirus program to find, if there is any keylogger installed in your system. You can land on the computer review sites to find which product is the suitable one to detect a software keylogger.

2) Get rid of the malicious files

Run your antivirus and anti-spyware programs almost daily, so that these programs protect you from the malware that is capable of running and sliding keylogger into your system. Make sure that the detected malicious files are either quarantined or removed from the system.

3) Update antivirus software regularly

We would suggest you to schedule updates for your antivirus program on a daily basis. If the virus definitions are open to updates more often, then there is less chance that your computer will be attacked by the trouble making malicious files.

Hardware keyloggers are easy to find when compared with the software keylogger. However, you can make use of updated antivirus or anti-spyware to get rid of it.
