Video & Audi Chat failed to AOL Messenger 6.1

Hello everyone,
(sorry for my bad english)
I use ichat AV 4.0 (Leopad of course) and my girlfriend AOL Messenger 6.1 on Vista (32bit).
The connection failed if we start a video or audio chat. The dialog box or messenger shows a message like; "the user xyz hang up".

Yahoo messenger/ Aol messenger trouble

I clicked on the download button at the yahoo messenger for mac site, and a "ymsgr2.5.3-osxinstall.bin" downloaded onto the desktop... i click on it and it says there's "no default application specified to open the document". The same thing happens with AOL messenger. Im guessing the installing is supposed to happen by itself and it doesn't seem as though there's an install program being run... not really sure how to fix the prob, but id really like to start IM'in. thx for the help!

Hi,
You're probably just missing the program, StuffIt Expander, used to expand these compressed files.
You can obtain the download for that from here:

Mail, Entourage, Messenger Progs not working

Suddenly, i cannot receive or send e-mails via Mail or Entourage. I cannot log on to Yahoo Messenger or MSN. However, my internet connection is fine (am posting using offending laptop). I am connect via Airport to another mac which is working fine. Any ideas?

Hello,
I also have been having problems with my Mail and Messenger. Here is the problem, maybe somebody can help me.
Mail keeps crashing everytime it imports emails. I have reset the junk mail.
My msn messenger shows me the emails I have it my account but when I click on it I simply arrive to the hotmail webpage and then I cannot login. I have downloaded it from several areas and it never works. Now I have uninstalled it and I can get to my mail through safari. What could the problem be?

Please Help? Trouble Connecting Video Chat with People with AOL messenger

Hey All,
I got the following message when trying to connect to people using AOL messenger:
There was a communications error during your chat, iChat encountered errors while communicating with participants in this chat
I am using G5 (latest version) and iChat latest version. What is wrong> Please can someone help at all?

Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi Gary:
Using the latest version of AIM won't work. The PC user MUST be using AIM 5.9 or before or Trillian.
Have you tried connected to the PC AIM Bot listed here: http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/ContactTesters.html (It's my PC auto responder). If you can connect, then it's probably the windows user configuration with the firewall that is preventing you from connecting.

Can no longer access .mac, mail, msn messenger etc on wireless network

have a wireless network in our house through an airport. but .mac login page does not load, mail will not access my email and things like msn messenger just do not login. does not work on either my macbook, imac g5 or the g5 tower. no idea what is wrong, could it be proxies or firewall stuff. just no idea.
please help.
will

This appears to be a network issue rather than a Mail issue. You should probably ask either in the Networking forum or in one of the AirPort forums.
As a first step, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.

Mail, AOL, Stops Receiving

I have been having a chronic problem since upgrading to Tiger from Panther. Receiving mail automatically at intervals from AOL (hybrid IMAP) simply stops. It works for a while and then does not work. Even a manual click of the Get Mail button produces no results.
On my Powerbook with Panther, never any problem. I'll be sitting at my desk, and a couple of hours go by and no mail. I click on Get Mail and no mail. Then annoyed colleagues start IM'ing and calling because they have no response from emails I have not seen.
Usually, quitting mail and restarting the mail application solves the problems, albeit temporarily. Then 20 messges might appear.
I have been patiently waiting for a fix, but none arrives in Tiger updates.

Steve,
Likewise. My mac.com mail comes into the Inbox normally, but my ISD account mail won't. Somehow the old Powerbook has been affected too!
As you say, 'Get Mail' produces no result.
After much wasted time and frustration I dumped the Account settings in Mail Preferences, and re-entered them.
That worked fine for about a week, but again, this weekend they stopped coming in, and working online is like watching grass grow.
I've got a new Intel iMac 20", (I wonder whether there's a clash?)
so I can't try the old Outlook Express to see if that works; no other options.
There's a bug here, Mr Jobs!

Mail/AOL Mail Saved Message Nightmare

I set my boss up to use AOL's imap server to send and receive email through osx's mail application. He dragged all of his important messages to the saved folder. What happened next was strange. Although the folder is on the mac itself, the messages uploaded to somewhere, leaving the folder empty. I went on his regular account and checked the saved messages box and it was empty. AOL has no idea where they went if they are not in the saved folder on their ACS. I checked the computer itself and could not locate any of the mails. Has anyone else ran into this problem?
G4Laptop Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Assorted tidbits that may or may not be of use to those following this thread:
1. As of August 5, I was still able to save whatever emails I wanted to select from any Mail mailbox to the AOL "Saved" mailbox with no errors or disappearance problems of any kind whatsoever.
2. As of approximately one month ago, I could with Mail.app also move any email I wanted from the AOL IMAP inbox to the AOL "Spam" mailbox. This is what some official AOL help documents indicate is the equivalent to using the AOL client app "Report Spam" button, so I assume this is, or at least was previously, officially supported with IMAP access to AOL email as the approved way to report spam when not using AOL client or web mail access.
2.a. At some point in the last ten days or so, I noticed this 'report spam' equivalent was not working properly with Mail.app. I don't know the exact date this started happening since I don't often have to use the feature, but what I do know is that as of ~ July 28, I started getting error messages similar to the ones we now see for moving messages to "Saved." So far, the error messages are all that happens with this -- IOW, there is no disappearance problem, only a refusal to accept any email into the "Spam" server folder via Mail.app.
3. In Mail.app, using the menu "Copy to..." option for attempts to move messages into the affected AOL-based folders works very much the same as with drag & drop, except the existing copy is never deleted from the source mailbox, so I suggest this is a better way to test for the problem than by risking any messages you might want to save.
3.a. Using the copy option may initially look like it succeeds, even when it doesn't. In my case, messages copied to "Saved" sometimes did appear there in Mail's view even after opening the "Saved" mailbox view, which I assume from Mail's Activity window does cause some small amount of syncing. However, within 10 seconds to about a minute, the newly copied message still disappears, which I assume is due to some server-side problem a 'full' sync shows.
4. Until AOL sorts out all the details of its "new" incarnation, It is probably best not to count on saving anything to its servers, even with the web mail interface.

Mail & AOL Address Books

I set up Mail and it is working fine. My only problem is that he combined all of the addresses in my two AOL accounts and these are now combined as a whole in each of the AOL accounts as well. So, I can access all of my contacts in each screen name, but I had set up separate different accounts with different addresses. Is this a common problem and how can it be rectified?

Sorry, but I'm not sure what you are asking about.
The Mail application does not include an Address Book.
The Mail application is integrated with the Address Book application, which is a separate application.
Are you referring to contact information in the Address Book application?
If so, the Address Book, or contact information available in the Address Book application is not accessed separately by each email account that is accessed with the Mail application. All email accounts accessed with the Mail application have access to all contact information in the Address Book application.

Mail & AOL

I am actually posting this for my mom... She switched from PC to Macbook late last year. Ever since then, when she opens Mail, which is setup for her AOL account, several messages keep resending themselves until she Quits Mail (does not have to force quit). It is not the same emails that keep resending, but whatever is most recent; and it does this with more than 1 email, usually forwards (as it keeps adding "fwd" to the subject). She will get the resent messages in both Mail and on aol.com. She contacted the store she purchased it at and they did not know why this was happening. She later had to trade in this MacBook for a Pro (for another issue) and after using Time Machine to transfer data, it is doing the same thing. I use AOL on my MacBook and do not have any trouble with it. I am assuming there is something "stuck," but can't figure it out. We deleted her account in mail & re-entered it, but it kept doing the same thing

I lost connectivity from my mail aol account, and can not use mail to email, the email account is off line. What do I need to change to bring the account in line? The take accounts online function will not allow it to go on line

Operating system is the 10.5.8

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
First, just confirming that you realize you can always access your AOL email account by going directly to www.aol.com from the Safari browser (or Firefox, Chrome, etc.) until you get the Apple Mail problem fixed.
If you cannot connect directly through a browser, it's quite possible that AOL is doing maintenance or having a temporary problem. It happens with surprising frequency to most online hosts. I usually check downrightnow.com, but AOL is not one of the services for which they collect trouble reports.
Reconnecting your Apple Mail to your AOL account:
In the Apple Mail menubar, click on the Mailbox, Get New Mail, and highlight the AOL account.
You should see the 'spinning wheel' next to the account name for a moment while your AOL mail is retrieved.
That should successfully reconnect you.
Occasionally my ISP seems to corrupt a few packets and I'll get a message that all my external email account password are rejected, and asks me to re-enter them. Instead of re-entering passwords, I click 'cancel', and use this same procedure to re-connect.
NOTE: I'm on Snow Leopard OS X 10.6, and Mail 4.5 (1084) but I believe the process to reconnect did not change since OS X 10.5 Leopard.

Hello, Rileys128.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to receive mail on your iPad. Here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue with your AOL account. I would also recommend checking with your email provider for security procedures such as two-step verification as this could cause this issue.

Cannot Send E-mail (AOL account) since iOS5 iPhone upgrade

I just recently upgraded to iOS5. Since the upgrade I can no longer send AOL e-mail, but I am receiving it. The message I keep getting is the recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying. Does anyone know how to fix this?

this is my problem also but not on AOL

Mail & AOL ... can't send

Evening ...
I've been set up to send and receive mail on my AOL account via MAIL for months now without any issue. As of last, however I can no longer send mail. The server still delivers mail with no trouble but when I go to send I get ... "Cannot send message using the server ..."
The really weird part is that I had sent about 90 emails prior to that. I deleted all the info in my Preferences and reconfigured the account and nothing.
Any ideas?

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
There are limits with many such providers on the number of messages you can send in some period of time, etc. It does not sound like you would have hit that, but the behavior sounds suspiciously like you have. See:
http://www.emailaddressmanager.com/tips/email-address-limit.html
Try to contact AOL and check this.
