Gmail Settings For Mac Mail El Capitan

Mac computers come equipped with a Mail App to help organize your e-mail accounts. This article will show you how to reset your e-mail preferences to the default settings on Mac OS X. How To Reset Your Mail Preferences The procedure is as follows: Select Finder in your Menu Bar and open the 'Go' menu (at the top of the screen). El Capitan also analyses the contents of every email in Mail and then uses the collected information in other applications. Maps- In the Apple Maps, the latest OS X which is El Capitan shows public transit information similar to Maps in iOS 9. Press enter to launch the Mail application.

I totally regret downloading El Capitan, from a fully functioning Yosemites, now I have a broken El Capitan. Outlook simply hangs and Mail client is unable to save setting changes in preferences. I only have 2 email accounts set in Mail, 1 Google and 1 Exchange.

Capital Mac Service has received a variety of recent reports that the Mac OS X Mail in the new Mac OS El Capitan seems to be unexpectedly quitting when either opening mail, or, while using it. Here’s a possible solution to this new issue in El Capitan.

Hi AppleVis users, I wonder if anyone here can shed light on a situation I have experienced several times now. I have a MacBook Air running OS X El Capitan. Whenever I attempt to compose a new email by way of gmail.com instead of the computer's native mail app, the VoiceOver cursor starts acting strangely.

First, a polite warning:This *may* remove any mailboxes and folders you may have setup in Mac OS X Mail. We cannot verify this since we don’t have access to any POP mail servers. Services like GMail, Yahoo, and iCloud are *not* POP-based–they are IMAP accounts and will pull the data and mailboxes back from the server. You should have a full backup of your data before attempting any of these steps.

Quit Mac OS X Mail
Go to the Mac OS X Finder
Select the “Go” menu in the top menu bar
Hold down the Option key on the keyboard while you are in the “Go” menu. You should see an item appear called “Library”
Locate the “Mail” folder
Drag all of the contents of the “Mail” folder to the desktop (or optionally create a folder on the desktop first and drag the contents of “Mail” into it)
Relaunch Mac OS X Mail

At this point, Mail will most likely rebuild itself, pulling in the data from your remote IMAP accounts. If you feel that this isn’t working, or, you lost your mailboxes, you can simply do these steps in reverse, deleting the new Mail data and putting back the backups from your desktop.

Bonus Tips:

Go to System Preferences, select Internet accounts, select any inactive account names, and click minus sign. This removes old and inactive user accounts that you may not be using.

Also…

The GPGMail extension is incompatible with El Capitan. Locate the folder /Library/Mail/Bundles directory (the System Library not the user Library) and delete the GPG bundle.
