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 - 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

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 â¹ 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 Exchange account

Hi,
We use Exchange 2007 at work. When I tried to set up my iPhone with it, it worked perfectly, including syncing my work e-mail account, syncing my work calendar and allowing me to look up entries in my work address book.
When I tried to set it up on my GUEST account on my Mac (completely clean account), it again worked perfectly.
However, on my main account on the Mac, I'm able to get the e-mail sync. functionality to work and the addressbook functionality to work but for some reason, I just can't get iCal to sync or show my work calendar.
iCal shows the name of the account in the list of calendars on the left-side pane, but shows an "error" icon (squiggly icon) on the right of the account. No matter what I do, I can't get it to sync with my work calendar.
Can someone help me please?

Hi, Natasharocks11, and welcome to the Community,
I could not detect from your post precisely what the problem with your account is. Please kindly post back with details as well as any error messages you may be seeing.
Thank you,
Elaine

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 multiple accounts

I forgot my original password for my itunes account. Stupidly, i set up another one. Now I can't play my songs from my original account because I hace to put in that password. Tried reseting the password, but the email address from that account has been deactivated, so when it says" will sennd to email address on file, I can't retrive the email to rest the password. Is there a way to merge both accounts?

No. You cannot merge the accounts. Sorry.
You can try contacting itunes support for help with your password.

Need help with IMAP Account

Since I've gotten my iPod touch, I decided to make my gmail account an IMAP instead of a POP one. To be honest I was unsure of differences, but was unanimously told that IMAP was better, especially for multiple devices. I've had a little trouble configuring it the way i want though. Here's my problem.
I like to save all my mail for reference. Gmail allow me to do this on there server. Fantastic. Unfortunately this also all gets stored in mail, taking up over a gig on my harddrive. I would like to be able to keep maybe the last 50 messages in my discarded mail, and my sent mail and have older messages be stored just on gmails server so that i may logon and access them when need be.
Also, I find it very confusing to have two sent folders, two junk/spam folders and two trash folders. One seems to be local, one referring to gmail server, both stored on my computer. I would rather have it the simple way (one junk folder yno?)
Hoping someone could help me out/explain.
Thanks in advance!

Go to account settings and select the correct (non local) folder for Spam/Sent/Trash etc. This should at least resolve the issue with "duplicate" folders.
IMAP stores all mail serverside. What you have stored locally is just a kind of cache for faster reading of mail. You could delete your IMAP-folder on the harddrive (located somewhere under ~/Library/Mail) every day, and your mails would still be there in Mail.app.

Need help with Mail on my 701

Hello all,
I installed Microsft Office Mobile today from the 'Software Update' application on my 701.
Now, the apps work fine and since I don't need Lync, I removed just that.
Now, the 'Mail' icon on my 701 has mysteriously changed title to 'FreestyleEm...' and I can't read further.
Now there's no way to reinstall Mail, so I'm stuck. What should I do?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Need help with Mail address book and calendar.

Hello,
I am a new Mac User. I just purchased my first MacBook. My goal is to switch totally over to Mac for both home and work. I was able to get the mail program to pull down my exchange mail, however it does not appear to have taken in my address book.
My goal would be for my machine to totally sync up with my mail, and calendar the same way that my iPhone does. Is there a way to do this?
If I can't get my contacts and calendar to "sync". I will not be able to use my Mac at work.
Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jason

I do not believe you can sync your data between Outlook and Address Book and iCal. You can transfer data using a third-party utility, Outlook2Mac. However, you could integrate with your Outlook account using Entourage, one of the Office 2008 applications. You would have to purchase Microsoft Office 2008.

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 ?

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 .
