The iPad chimed a notification right away from the gmail app.

The only time I've ever had an issue with the gmail app not connecting to the server was after a password change.
Hmm. Now Mail is working again (on my iPad mini that I updated this morning, and that wasn't working at first). Strange.

I just bought a Nexus 7.2 tablet to use with my camera. I set up the tablet a couple of days ago. Then yesterday I got a strange Mac OS X Mavericks pop up message on my Mac Mini. It asked if it was okay for Google Software Update.app to take control of my Mac Min! Holy poop, I've never seen any messages like that, and promptly told it no EFFING way! (See attached image.) I have no clue what this app does, but I will not allow it take control of my Mac. It was after this that I went into my Gmail and deleted all my contacts and existing emails. I've used the Apple cloud for a year now with my own GoDaddy IMAP email so I don't need Gmail except that it is required for Android.

So beware of Google and Gmail with Mavericks.
I've been thinking of moving to another mail server too, maybe my own. Like many people I suppose, I've been getting a bit concerned about how much of my private data is on the cloud, and how much google especially has access to. But I'm not ready to change just now. So I hope mail will continue to work and I can keep using it with gmail. Because I've been reviewing other mail apps, and frankly they don't appeal much.

Funny how the iOS auto correct, which is so eager to capitalize iOS or Safari, doesn't do anything when I type google.
