I desperately need help with Mail, specifically sending

For Starters:  I am on OSX 10.9.2 and am trying to use mail 7.2.
https://discussions.apple.com/post!input.jspa?container=2998&containerType=14&qu estion=I+desperately+need+help+with+Mail%2C+specifically+sending
I cannot send.  I have been at this for hours and hours and hours.  Here are the details.
my mail server however is s1.sistercompany.net
I can receive email just fine.  I can also send mail just find having set this up on my iphone and also in thunderbird (which i hate hate hate hate hate hate hate, which is why I am desperate to set up mail)
The settings in thunderbird are as follows:
Servername: s1.sistercompany.net
port: 465
Authentication method:  normal password
Connection Security:  SSL/TLS
However, I just can't get this to work in Mail.  When I write an email and hit send I get a popup that says:
Cannot send message using the server s1.sistercompany.net
The certifcate for this server is invalid.
Now, my tech guy says yeah the certifacte is invalid because you are going through sistercompany server, there should be some way to just accept the certifcate anyway (but he has never used mail before).
So I have serached around and come up with this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11706
Which tells me to use the verify certificate dialogue, which I would do except there is no verify certificate dialog.  Any thoughts?

  • Need help with Mail

    Hi:
    Need your help with something I don´t understand: we try to set up a new hotmail account in Mail (we have used both Preference Panel and directly in Mail) but it never recieves the Inbox. I can send but don´t see anything in Inbox.
    I looked into User/Library/Mail/V2/accountname/INBOX.mbox/ and the folder with the xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx name structure is never created.
    I tried to set up another hotmail account and it works ok, only this specific account fails.
    I Used a Permissions repair, didn't worked. Erased all data in V2, again not worked. Tried to "cheat" Mail setting up another hotmail account and then changing info to the specific account failing, not luck. Also reset sync services (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627?viewlocale=es_ES), still not work. Rebuild inside Mail also didn´t worked. Any idea to get this account working?
    BTW, sorry for my bad english...

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • I need help with Mail

    I recently erased my HD and reinstalled Yosemite. I wanted to manually move my saved emails over so I researched and it said to go to library/Mail/V2 and copy everything in there from the old system and paste it into the new system. I did this but got this message...
    I don't know what this means. I should have gone online and asked, but tried to fix it myself. I thought if I deleted the gmail accounts and re-entered them it would fix it. When I opened Mail preferences, choose one of the two accounts and hit the "-" button, it gave me a message saying they couldn't be deleted and to do it from the system preferences, so I did that. Now Internet accounts in system preferences shows them as gone, but they are still in the Mail.app. I tried deleting them again from Mail preferences and it won't let me. I then tried to go re-add them to the system preferences and it will add a google account but says there is an error. I am fearful that I have really screwed my computer up. Please help! How do I add them back to my system preferences without errors and what do I do about the above pic of the message that keeps popping up in Mail? How can I delete the gmail accounts if I need to if Mail won't let me. I also haven't gotten a single new email in any of my accounts, including my iCloud and comcast ones since I did this all. What should I do?

    Back up all data.
    Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
              8.8.8.8
              8.8.4.4
    That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
    In Safari, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
    Notes:
    1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the  Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
    2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

  • Need help with Mail - Hotmail .. actual hotmail account won't delete

    Hello, first post! I just purchased a mac last week. First one ever so i'm learning to use the programs and having some fun. I opened up the mail application and synced with my gmail account just fine. I then added a 2nd account which was my hotmail account. I'm not happy with how the hotmail account syncs with mac mail application. The problem arises when i try to delete the Hotmail account i added. I right clicked and selected "delete account" and it deleted all my email but the Hotmail inbox icon will not delete and i am still getting new emails into the inbox. I'm not sure if i explained this correctly so feel free to ask for clarification. Does anyone know how i can get rid of my hotmail account from my macbook mail application for good?

  • Need help with mail from pc

    I received some mail from outlook that had some odd characteristics and I'm hoping that someone can help me figure out how to get it to display normally.
    1. no header information (I don't see who the sender is, subject, etc. in Mail). The top of the message looks like this:
    ------=NextPart_000_002201C7B31B.65BC0BE0
    Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
    boundary="----=NextPart_001_002301C7B31B.65BC0BE0"
    ------=NextPart_001_002301C7B31B.65BC0BE0
    Content-Type: text/plain;
    charset="us-ascii"
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
    2. There are embedded table in the message that in one column instead of multiple columns.
    In both cases, I can view the messages okay if I log onto the webmail server.

  • Need help with Mail after 10.6.8 update

    You can’t use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X
    You have Mail version 4.5 (1084/1085). It can’t be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 (Build 10K549). For more information, click the Help button.
    OK getting desperate now, I recently updated my 2010 MacBook Pro (Running Snow Leopard) with the latest update, unfortuantly my mail icon was in a sub folder in the applications folder and apparently is the cause of all my problems as it looks like it didnt get the updated?
    So I have been scrolling different solutions to try to find some sort of resolution, I have downloaded the Mac os X 10.6.8 update combo v1.1 but that hasnt done anything? I just simply opened it when i downloaded it, was I supposed to do something fancy with it ??
    Totally lost as to what to try next anyone out there more computer savy that I am ?
    mette

    I had the same problem.  I did this:
    If you installed the Security Update 2012-004, it failed to update Mail to 4.6; thus, your problem. Manually DownLoad it fromhttp://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586 and reinstall it.
    which was posted on another thread here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19718708#19718708
    and it worked .

  • Need help with mail please

    I can't send any mail from my apple mail account, whether it be one that I want to write or send from a web page. I tried gmail and that didn't work, so now I have a 60 day trial of mobileme and that's not working either. One thing I have noticed when creating an account is on the page where I type in my e-mail address and password is the only option I have is to create. There is no option to continue or uncheck "automatically set up account", just create. I honestly don't have a clue what I am doing. If it makes a difference I have an intellos broad band card for my internet service. I have a macbook pro that is only a month old. My mobileme account works just not from apple mail. I did send myself an e-mail from another account and got it. Please help me!!!!!!!!

    You are not alone. I and many others are struggling to get email to send. No doubt Apple is addressing the problem right now. They have been informed.

  • Need help with mail merge

    I created a mail merge using Outlook for Mac (2011) and Word for Mac (2011). I'm creating an email that uses only three fields from the data source (Email, Name, Company) and creating new emails. However, all my line breaks disappear once the Word document creates the emails.
    All my research points to unchecking a "Remove extra line breaks" option but all the directions are for PCs. I can't find this on my Mac. I have tried creating new columns in my data source and creating a line break within them, but that still doesn't fix the problem.
    How do I create emails with a mail merge and keep my line breaks? Is there a preference in Outlook I need to modify?
    Thanks in advance!!

    I have both Pages '09 and Pages 5.2 installed on my Mavericks OSX 10.9.2 boot drive. They do not interfere with each other at all. Apple has all Apps sandboxed since Lion.
    Menu > Insert > Merge Field > Choose
    NB How the Merge Inspector adds the new fields to its list:
    Dragged the VCard (the blue highlighted name) of the Contact onto the Pages document below:
    The Result:
    For multiple merges make up a Group in Contacts and drag the Group onto the Pages document and it will reproduce several pages of merges.

  • Desperately need help with installation

    Right, so I bought the student pack for the Creative Suite5 Design Premium.
    The first of my problems came when I was trying to install acrobat 9. The problem was that halfway through verification, the setup wizard said that Windows Installer needed to be closed for it to finish verifying, which is really confusing because it was Windows Installer running the installation i nthe first place.
    So I tried installing the Design Premium suite itself, I was informed that the minimum requirements were not met for a number of products. I deselected the ones I did not need until I was left with adobe photoshop cs5 and adobe indesign cs5. Both of these did not meet system requirements, even though I did a check on this website itself for the requirements. I found that I actually exceeded the minimum requirement needed so I still don't understand why the installation won't work.
    I am an art student doing digital painting so I would really appreciate swift help. This is a really frustrating issue.
    Thanks.

    Could you please post your machine configuration, OS, RAM, Processor details and resolution on which you are installing. Please post PDApp.log file from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Temp\PDApp.log
    and ignore all the warning messages and try installing. These are just kind of warnings and does not stop installation, if any application does not support the environment, that particular application will have trouble working with.
    Thanks,
    Tahseen

  • Desperately need help with a recognition problem

    Running on Windows XP Home Edition.
    I have had a problem with my 30gig ipod video since the start of the month. Whenever I plug it in, windows displays a "Usb Device not recognized.
    One of the usb decives attatched to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it.".
    For the past few days i've crawled through search engines and forums searching for a fix but nothing i've tried seems to work. I've tried using different usb ports, reinstalling the software, resetting my ipod but none of ipod's 5 r's worked. In device manager, it just pops up as "unknown device".
    I've tried updating the driver with my disc but all I get is "the wizard could not find a better match for your hardware than the software you currently have installed" and when I click on it's driver details I get a "no driver files are required or have been loaded for this device" message.
    Also, sometimes (usually after a reset) the ipod would appear as charging even though it actually isn't. The iPod seemed to work for the guy at the computer shop (who also charged it for me) while using the same usb cable, I took it back and he restored it form me but to no avail. I've tried turning off my firewalls and I hadn't installed any new programs between when my ipod was and wasn't recognized. Yet another thing worth mentioning would be that my computer wasn't turned off properly the night before it stopped working and that I had to hold down the power button as the comp was stuck on "Saving settings" (Yes. I am an idiot) which is my money on what caused the problem, but i'm not 100% as I have been forced to do this a couple of times before. =S.
    I would really appreciate any help solving this problem.
      Windows XP  

    If you've tried everything else, one other thing to try is to run Registry Mechanic -- you can download it for free and run diagnosis, but need to pay for full version that actually fixes any problems it finds.
    I had exact same problem with two iPods on same computer suddenly (the original 4th gen 60G photo, and the 5th gen 60G video I bought to replace it because I thought it was a hardware problem with iPod.) Neither was recognized (in windows/ in device manager/in iTunes). Sometimes they would charge while connected, but other times they would appear to charge but actually be draining charge.
    I tried everything, over about 12 hours spread across a week, but it was after running Registry Mechanic that my new iPod 60g video was finally recognized.
    My hypothesis is that between all the Microsoft windows security updates I download, and the iPod new software updates, some kind of error was created in the registry.
    Still doesn't seem to recognize my 4th gen 60G iPod though...

  • Need Help with Mail Smart Mailboxes

    I'm just getting started with Smart Mailboxes and seem to be stuck on a key feature. Once I've set up the criteria for the mailbox and the incoming mail goes into the Smart Mailbox, how can I delete it from my inbox without losing it in the Smart Mailbox? Am I missing something here with the concept? I'm tired of moving mail into specific mailboxes and thought this might be the solution but now I'm not sure. Anyone have any suggestions on this?

    A Smart Mailbox is just a search. Messages are not "in" the Smart Mailbox, it is a list of messages that satisfy the search criteria. The messages must reside elsewhere.
    If you want to automatically move messages to regular mailboxes, use Rules, rather than Smart Mailboxes.
