Gmail,.Mac Mashup for the iPhone The new iPhone has the best mail client I’ve ever used on a smartphone. When I first got my iPhone, I immediately connected it to my Gmail account. Unfortunately, Gmail uses POP to download messages.
It started sending every single message from my archive — thousands of messages. What’s worse is the lack of synchronization between my iPhone and the Mail program on my MacBook because of POP. If I delete a message on the iPhone, the message remains on Mail. I needed a better solution and it was Mike who came up with the answer. He suggested using.Mac and Gmail as a Mashup. Here is how it works for me. I own a.Mac account.
I’ve never used the email features before because I don’t think.Mac can match Gmail’s spam filtering. Gmail also archives every single message (sent and received) together in conversations on the server.
On the other hand,.Mac does support IMAP. IMAP allows multiple computers to work on the same messages that are stored on the IMAP server. If you delete a message on an IMAP server, the message is deleted on all the clients of that server. What I needed was the IMAP mailboxes, with Gmail filters. It’s trivial to forward all mail from Gmail to my.Mac account. The only problem is sending email. If I use the default configuration for.Mac on my iPhone, it will use the.Mac server to send my email.
This forces my “From” address to the.Mac account. When someone replies to the email, it won’t be sent to Gmail. Instead it will go straight to.Mac, bypassing the Gmail spam filters and the archive.
Mashup Program For Mac
The trick is to use.Mac to receive email and Gmail to send it. Configure Gmail.
Mashup Machine
Log into Gmail. Click “Settings” (upper left part of screen).
Click “Forwarding and POP”. Set “Forward a copy of incoming mail to” to my.Mac email address. Set the next option to “archive Gmail’s copy”.
Disable POP (if enabled) as a security precaution. Click “Save Changes” My email is now forwarding to my.Mac account and Gmail is keeping a copy in the archive. Configure.Mac. Open Mail. Click menu: Mail Preferences. Click “Accounts”. Click the plus sign (+) in the lower left corner.
Set account type as.Mac and fill in the details of the.Mac account. Click “Continue”, twice, then click “Done”. Close preferences Mail will automatically create a.Mac account as the incoming (IMAP) and outgoing (SMTP) server. We need the account working first before we make the mashup. If you send (or have someone else send) a test message to your Gmail account, it should appear in the.Mac account.
