Problem Mail program & Outgoing Mail Server - Problem with Earthlink

I had Earthlink POP / SMTP ( In/Out ) Mail server and mac Mail set up when I pulled the power plug on PMG4 due to freeze up !
Now have no contents in mac Mail program In/Out/Sent/Draft on the PMG4 hardrive or the external Lacie brick back-up hardrive. I am told by Earthlink this is because I had the " don't save email copy on server " box checked in the Mail/Add account/Advanced section.
Any idea how I can retieve my email folders ?
Also cannot get rid of 6 account names listed erroneously under Mail/Preferences/Account/Accounts Information/outgoing mail server ! And yet there is only one account listed when the accounts button is pushed. This is making it impossible to connect to the earthlink server ! Earthlink says everythings fine on their end and I have the correct Server Port number entered ! Earthlink says it's a problem with macMail !
Help !

This is no longer an issue

  • Is it possible to highlight text in Apple Mail for incoming mails and outgoing mails?

    Is it possible to highlight text in Apple Mail for incoming mails and outgoing mails?

    If you mean that you wish to highlight messages from certain people or domain names, then if you select Preferences under 'Mail' (top left hand corner next to the Apple logo when you're in the mail application) and then select the right hand icon marked 'rules', then click on Add Rule and hopefully the rest is fairly self explanatory.
    Best of luck

  • Mail.app and Exchange Server Problems?

    I am an Apple Mail user and my university just switched to an Exchange Server 2003 for student e-mail. The university is only supporting Entourage, but I have configured Mail to work with Exchange without any major problem. This week, I have noticed that I have a problem where Mail.app will say that I have four new e-mails in my Exchange in-box. When I click on my Exchange in-box, no new e-mail appears. After experiencing this problem for about a week, I finally logged onto our Exchange web access site for the university. I discovered that I did indeed have four new e-mails in my in-box, but these e-mails were not showing up in Mail.app. Interestingly, all of the e-mails were undeliverable e-mails that had popped back because I had the wrong address. I am wondering why these e-mails would show up in on web access, but not show up in Mail.app.
    I have spoken with our university tech. support numerous times and they have been unable to figure out the problem. It seems this may be a Mail.app isse as opposed to an Exchange problem.
    Thanks,

    I use Exchange at work and have 5 Macs working with it w/o problems. The trick is to correctly specify SMPT and Outlook Web Access Server.
    Do the following:
    When you create a new mail account, choose IMAP or Exchange (if it shows on the list)
    for Email Address specify your exchange email address
    continue
    for Incoming Mail Server: use name of the server without any prefixes such as mail. (The example shown under the box is wrong. It took me forever to figure it out)
    for username and password use the same one you use when log in into exchange webmail
    continue
    for outgoing email server use the name of the server, again without smtp.
    you may need to use authentification in order to send mail. In that case use the same user and password as when you log into your exchange
    I was doing it as I was writing this to make sure it workes. It does.

  • Mail synchro and smtp server problems

    I have a permanent problem with using my MB Pro and email client. Instead of icloud email im using some other email adresses and its appear everytime when i come back home (using wifi connection) problems with Mail program. Sometimes appears in a folder to send sent email from two hours before. sometimes the whole program switch all accounts offline and its a big problem to switch it online. Also i can send something but one day after appear a window that this message wasnt send because .... now i have problem with my icloud account. i can see email in advance on my iphone and ipad but on computer in the best way in one hour. Could someone from you help me to solve it? before i have changed my job i was using MS Outlook on this computer and with less failures then this Apple product.

    Felix,
    I agree, I think it is a bug. My wife is experiencing the exact same issue on her MacBook after upgrading to Lion.
    I submitted Mail feedback tonight to Apple. I hope they get this fixed pronto. My wife prefers Mail to the web interface or using her iPhone for mail. Thanks for explaining the issue.

  • Mail and Microsoft exchange server problems

    My company is moving to Microsoft exchange servers now, and for some reason, Mail cannot work.
    There are several settings that are possible to set in Thunderbird, but that are not even options in Mail. These are settings such as "TLS".
    Is there any way to make the same settings in mail that are possible in Thunderbird?

    Hi Budgie
    I can confirm that provided your administrator configures the Exchange server for IMAP (Mail uses IMAP to connect) that yes, Mail can be used effectively with Exchange and messages will remain on the server; though the set up can be misleading.
    For me at least, when you get to Outgoing Server Settings, the set-up panel does not allow you to enter an authentication type, and entering my user name and password will get the following response:
    The SMTP server “xxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com:username” is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the “Outgoing Mail Server” field. If it still doesn’t respond, the server might be temporarily unavailable.
    If you continue, you may not be able to send any mail.
    When I click continue, the authentication panel comes up, and by changing authentication to NTLM and entering the Domain name - everything works perfectly!
    The only other nuisance is that Mail looks at the Exchange Calendar and Personal Folders/Contacts folders as mail folders, but cannot display the contents in the way Outlook or Entourage does, and I have not found a way of eliminating them from the folder list.
    I hope this helps.

  • Mail Intermittent Outgoing Mail Server

    I have had issues with mac mail and my imap email account since upgrading to maverick's. My incoming mail is fine, but randomly when sending an emailI get this message:
    The server “avery.zephyrstudio.com” cannot be contacted on the default ports.
    Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
    So these emails then sit in my outbox. Sometimes I quit mail, relaunch and all the messages in the outbox all fly out at once. Sometimes that does not fix it and I either reboot, or quit/launch again until they send.
    Any idea what the issue is? I can send email using squirrel mail, and on my iphone when mac mail is doing this, so it appears to be a maverick's mac mail issue.
    Thanks

  • Default Mail Program and Mail

    Rather than Mail.app that came with my iMac, I want to use Thunderbird as my default mail program which I have set as such in Preferences in both Mail and Thunderbird.
    However, I keep receiving an occasional email in the Mail.app rather than in Thunderbird - and it doesn't even appear in Thunderbird but only in Mail.
    I would like to receive all of my email in Thunderbird rather than Mail. How can I make sure this will happen? Should I rename Mail.app to something else?
    I would appreciate any suggestions you may have; and also, if you have good reasons for this not to be done, please let me know in a kindly manner. Because I became use to using Thunderbird in my PC, I feel more comfortable with it and would like to continue using it.
    Thanks for your help.

    This doesn’t make sense. What you’ve chosen as the default mail program is irrelevant here.
    If Mail receives any messages, it has to be because (1) it’s running AND (2) it’s configured to automatically check for new mail AND (3) the accounts are configured to be included when automatically checking for new mail. It looks like you’re making it really hard for Mail to not download any messages...
    And except in the case of a Gmail account (which allows messages to be downloaded only once by POP mail clients), receiving a message in Mail should have no bearing on you being able to receive that message in any other mail client as well if Mail is configured with the default account settings...
    More info, please.

  • Anyone else having sudden Mail Outgoing Exchange Server problems?

    I have a Microsoft Exchange account for work that I have been accessing on Mail for about 2 yrs w/o any problems until last weekend. Then, suddenly, I can't send emails from that account if I originate the email, but I can send it w/o difficulty if I'm replying to an email from that account!
    Also, when I do open a new email on that acct, it opens as an iCloud mail, and I have to select my Exchange server in the dropdown. When I do this, it doesn't add in my Signature for that acct, although it does when I'm replying to an email.
    I've made no changes to my account or server settings, nor has our Administrator. My Lion/Mail versions are UTD. When I check the Outgoing server info, I notice it keeps deleting it, and marking the server as Offline.
    I can log in as a webmail (owa) acct, and can also log in on my PC--same PW, etc.
    VERY strange--have been searching Discussions/Help/Knowledge Base since then and trying everything I can think of (with 22+ yrs Mac experience)--to no avail.
    Any thoughts from the Mail Gurus out there?

    Same thing. I'm in Mexico City right now and Mail stopped working two days into the trip. I reset all my email accounts in Mail and it still wouldn't work. I had to switch to Entourage to recieve and send emails (worked perfectly).  I prefer Mail but I've had this problem before with emails getting hung up. What's going on here?

  • MAIL 1.3.11: server error with the port 110

    I have 10.3.9 with MAIL 1.3.11 and I can't conect to the server with the port 110... why does it happens? how i fix that? thanx

    I don't understand your obsession with overstuffed mailboxes.
    What are you talking about? As I told you in a previous post, Mail sometimes chokes on a message it cannot download and that prevents it from downloading the rest as well. This is a relatively common problem. It has absolutely nothing to do with overstuffed mailboxes.
    The two servers are failing to connect.
    This is wrong! And which two servers are you talking about? According to the activity information you reported, Mail is connecting to the POP server, but failing to download the messages it sees there for some reason...
    If you want to mess with the contents of your ~/Library/Mail/ folder (which you said in your first post you didn’t want to do), there are a couple of things you may try as well.
    For POP accounts, Mail uses a file within the account folder to keep track of which messages have already been downloaded. Deleting that file causes Mail to treat everything still on the server as if new and try to download it again:
    1. Quit Mail.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/.
    3. Locate one or two files named MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded and move them to the Trash. Mail 1.x used MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded to keep track of which messages had already been downloaded. Mail 2.x uses MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 for the same purpose.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

  • Outgoing SMTP Server problems

    Hi,
    I cannot send email from my wireless network, some networks are fine i.e. the apple store, my home, but my work wireless will not let me. Receiving email is fine.
    I've connected using an ethernet cable and this does not help either.
    I'm currently on port 25 and have checked using passwork for authentication.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    I can also vouch for the Loa Powertools app. Its pretty cheap for what it lets you do and it delivers every time. I used to have the same problems sending mail and it was so frustrating trying to configure SMTPs for every location. I've really enjoyed using Loa powertools. Worth every cent.

  • Apple mail - Ethernet - outgoing mail

    I'm having issues with sending mail from my Apple Mail (Version 3.5).
    Never had issues before, but flatmate just got rubbish Tiscali broadband equally rubbish (and mac unfriendly) router. Can't connect wireless-ly so am using an Ethernet cable. Internet works fine, as does receiving mail - just sending that is a problem.
    I have tried changing the SMTP ports, tried using the tiscali account settings to set up another smtp server, but neither, nor in combination works.
    can anyone help?

    Hi there,
    My guess would be that port 25 is blocked by your ISP... A good many of them do this on non-commercial accounts as an anti-spam/anti-virus measure.
    I would suggest that you need to switch your sending mail server to smtp.tiscali.co.uk as this is probably configured to allow smtp connections that originate from one of their IP addresses.
    One other thing to check is that SSL is not turned on for smtp... Choose edit server list from the popup and then click advanced... make sure that the port is 25, SSL is off and that no authentication is required.
    Hope this helps - Anton

  • Using mail for outgoing mail only?

    I am trying to set up mail with a work email that does not bring in mail, but I can send out using our email. We have a system in place at the moment where all emails come in through the front reception and then gets distributed internally depending on where it needs to go. I dont want to bypass this, but I do want to be able to send email and not have to use the webmail from our provider to do this.
    I have tried leaving the "incoming server" blank, but it does not let me proceed without information there. Even tried making a fake one to see if that works, but it doesnt.
    Any tips on how to do this? Is this even possible?
    Thanks

    What SMTP do you wish to send with? If using the SMTP of your ISP, typically you can simply add the work email address as a second email address in a POP account provided by your ISP -- see:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/9973.html
    However, some SMTP such as that provided by Gmail will change the Reply To header to the Gmail address, and others such as that for MobileMe will not accept non-MobileMe from addresses. But the one from most ISPs will.
    You can also set up an account manually, skipping the Account Setup Assistant, take the account Offline (and not include when checking for new mail), and it will still send, assuming you have a SMTP to use with it. To skip the account setup assistant, hold down the Option key when clicking the "+" to add an account. By this path Mail will not actually force the check connection to the Incoming Server

  • Junk Mail and Outgoing Mail Folders

    Hello. I'm having trouble getting the Junk Mail folder to appear in the Mailbox pane. Can anyone offer any help on how to get these two mailboxes to appear in their original form? I know I can create folders myself, but there should be a way to get these original folders to appear with the icons. Thank you.

    What's happening is that Mail 2.0 behaves differently in this regard. Outbox is not shown unless there are sent messages that cannot be delivered. Mail would put them in Outbox, waiting for an opportunity to be sent. If sent, Outbox will disappear again the next time you launch Mail. It's probably similar for Junk, it's not shown until there's actually something in there, I'm not sure.
    The Junk icon you see in the Toolbar is not a mailbox. It's for manually marking mail as junk. You can see what a toolbar button does by hovering the mouse over it and waiting for a tooltip to appear.
    HTH.

                   System.out.println("buf "+bufReader.readLine());Here you are reading a line from the client and printing it.
                   try {
                        while ((ss=bufReader.readLine())!=null) {
                             ss+=ss;
                        }Here you are reading more lines from the client and adding it to itself then throwing it away next time around the loop.
                        System.out.println("client message "+ss);... so this can't print anything except 'null'.
                   pw.write("hello");Here you are printing one line to the server. So the server won't ever do anything in the readLine() loop above. Then you are exiting the client without closing the socket or its output stream so the server gets a 'connection reset'.
