Account Grayed Out

This has happened 3 times now. And to my knowledge nothing has changed on my computer:
I turn on my tower in the morning and one of my email accounts is grayed out with a message that it is offline. I have tried restart; same gray.
I can go to my mail on my laptop and all the accounts are there and working.
Anyone know what's up?

At the Mail.app menu bar, go to Mailbox > Online Status and select "Take - the name of this account" online.

  • Some mail accounts grayed out, connections ok, but cannot access mail

    2 of my 4 e-mail accounts, that I access via Mac Mail suddenly became 'grayed out' between the morning, when I was checking e-mail on my laptop at home, and the mid-afternoon,when I tried to check mail again while the laptop was on
    the campus network.
    Running snow leopard 10.6.1, Mail Version 4.1 (1076); have had File
    Vault ON the past 10 days due to travel but normally it has been off.
    Affected accounts were a personal commercial mail service (POP) and my main work account (Exchange IMAP) but my g-mail (POP) and alternate work account (IMAP but not exchange)were not affected. Connection Doctor says connection and login to
    server on both accounts succeeded.
    Both grayed-out accounts appear fully functional by alternate access
    (web mail versions (both), iPhone (both), & Microsoft Outlook on
    Windows for the Exchange IMAP account). Both accounts are enabled. I
    have not, to the best of my knowledge, changed the account settings for
    either account in Mail preferences or on the servers via alternate
    access.
    The same problem persists now on my home network again (cable modem/airport wireless, all working smoothly for non-mail related activities).
    Running snow leopard 10.6.1, Mail Version 4.1 (1076); have had File
    Vault ON the past 10 days due to travel but normally it has been off.

    I had un-enabled and re-enabled, but not checked 'take online/take offline'. One of them did offer 'take online', so that may have been its problem.
    For the other one, after un-enabling the other 3 accounts, it spontaneously started downloading the waiting mail, so was back online.
    I thought it might be something ridiculously simple like this that I'd accidentally messed with....not that I was even aware of this option until now. Still don't know how I managed to take them offline, without meaning to, but now that I know about this, can check here first if it happens again. thanks!

  • Exchange Account Grayed Out

    Has anyone had a user with an Exchange Account created but when they go in to settings the account is grayed out?

    It will be greyed out if the Restrictions have been set, either manually or by a company MDM solution, to disallow account changes. You might the Restrictions and see if that is perhaps the case.
    Regards.

  • I recently changed my aol password and now I cannot get mail.  When I go to settings, Mail, Contacts, Calendars the accounts portion is grayed out and will not let me open.  How do I fix this problem?

    I recently changed my aol password and right after I changed, I cannot get mail.  I get a a pop up block that says, Cannot Get Mail, the user name or password for AOL is incorrect, settings, OK.  I go to settings as suggested but the account area is grayed out and will not let me open.  Need help on how to fix this problem.  I tried sync with my PC and that did not help either.

    It sounds like you might need to contact Yahoo! if you aren't able to setup your email account as a new account after deleting it. 
    I found some links on the Yahoo! website that might help:

  • After buying a new Macbook pro and opening an iTunes Match account most of my music is grayed out on my Mac and iPhone. I have not turned on iTunes match on my iPad and all my music is fine.  How do I get my music back????

    After buying a new Macbook pro and opening an iTunes Match account most of my music is grayed out on my Mac and iPhone. I have not turned on iTunes match on my iPad and all my music is fine.  How do I get my music back????

    The most efficacious way to get your music and other personal data onto your new Mac is to restore it from the backup you made of your old computer. Once that is done you can re-enable iTM on the new Mac and your iPhone.

  • I am trying to set up e-mail on a second user account but mail preferences is grayed out.  I have looked at some posts which indicate it could be corrupt file and say to deletee .plist but I cannot find that at all.  Any suggestions?

    I am trying to set up a Mail account for a second user.  I have made the user account but when I try to set up Mail, it fails as if the password or e-mail is incorrect but I know it is correct.  When I try to go to Mail preferences, it is grayed out.  Any suggestions?

    1. If you haven't tried this already, just delete the user account entirely, and then try setting it up again.
    2. To find the permissions file:
         a. hold down the option key
         b. go to the Go menu in the finder
         c. scroll down to Library and open it
         d. in Library, go to Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences
         e. drag it to the trash and restart.
    3. if that doesn't work, go to Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access. In the Keychain Access menu, do Keychain First Aid, and repair.
    This should keep you busy for a while.

  • 'sign in' button grayed out when adding account-email address has five letters after the '.'

    so i have this email account that uses a peculiar sever name with five letters after the '.' ie: [email protected] the thing is i can set up the server and user name and pass for the account so that it connects and syncs fine. the only problem is that i have to leave out one of the letters at the end of the address when setting it up or webOs will not let me sign in (the button is grayed out).
    so to get around it, i just left off one of the letters at the end ([email protected]). this let me set up the account BUT i can't send emails because the server requires that all messages come from the internal accounts with all five leters in the suffix ([email protected]) and since my address is missing a letter it won't accept and out going emails.
    Is there any way i can get around this? either by disabling the prevention of entering in 5 letters after the '.' or by going somewhere to add the letter back in after the fact. Please help!!! Thanks
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    The problem is where you enter your address and password for ESMTP (outgoing authentication)? Many mail clients let you check a box to use the same username and password that you use to retrieve email. I gather that isn't an option in webOS?

  • Email Accounts settings is grayed out. What can I do?

    Hi,
    The Email Accounts Settings has been grayed out. I cannot make any changes to my current email accounts, add new, or delete old email accounts. How can I ungray it?

    In my case, no restrictions are enabled.  Accounts still grayed out.  I was forced to change my appleid password and now everything is dorked up.  I have gone everywhere I know to put in the new password.  It works on the phone and on my computers, but not on the iPad.

  • Mobile Account Sync Is Grayed Out

    Dear Friends,
    One of our users started having problems using account syncing, they had contracted Flashback and asked to have their OS reinstalled. The system is bound to AD and things worked for a while and then they installed VirusBarrier X6 and made some changes.  At first the sync wouldn't work and now the option is grayed out for all users on the computer from the Preferences Pane. We have unbound and rebound the system and tried a permissions repair.  What might be blocking this service from running? Thanks!

    I have the same problem with my ipod nano. I downloaded tunes from my old pc. ITunes does not recognise it from my new pc and I cannot sync.

  • Why is my ".Mac Account" inbox item grayed out?

    I noticed this yesterday and it is still grayed out in my list of Inboxes. I have 3 inboxes, my .mac email, my gmail, and a personal domain's email. I am still able to receive mail in my .mac inbox though.
    Observations:
    Sending mail takes a little longer in the "sending" phase, than when I send from my personal domain.
    If I mouse over the inbox (sometimes) it indicates that the mailbox is invalid at mail.mac.com server.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Alfredo

    This morning I noticed it is no longer grayed out. You're right, I was prompted the other day for my .mac password. I wonder if it has anything to do with the new web mail they are rolling out? Like I said, even though it was grayed out, I was able to receive email sent to my .mac account. I was also able to read .mac mail on the web. Oh well, its back to normal now. Thanks for the help.

  • HT1386 my ipad is not syncing my music correctly from my itunes account via my laptop. The music does not appear, although it shows when you look into summary as grayed out .

    I carried out a recent software update and there after that my itunes music would not sync in the normal way. My music only shows on my ipad when connected and in music summary and this is shown as grayed out with a broken circle icon beside any new music which has been inported to my itunes account via my laptop. In the past when i connected my ipad to my laptop to sync it would ask if i wanted to transfer from ipad or not. This does not happen now at it goes straight into sync mode.

    Hi,
    This sounds so frustrating. If any processing of sound, e.g. through Logic, through Wiretap, or you might try Garageband (which I assume you have tucked away somewhere), produces the problem, then its hard to blame the software of the individual program. This leaves OSX and/or Coreaudio, or a hardware problem. Sorry if you've already reached this stage. This would mean a reinstall of OSX (or an upgrade, if you're thinking of it), or addressing the hardware issue. I know I had some very bizarre things (and repetitive) happen to me with faulty memory, or memory that just wasn't seated properly in its slot. You could start out by running the hardware test and go from there.
    Good Luck,
    Ray
