Accessing Mail via Dock

Hi
I'm having problems getting into my .Mac mail using the 'Mail' icon on the dock. I can access my mail by going direct to my .Mac account but not through the dock. I checked all 'settings' and even reinstalled 'Mail' but still no joy. The mail page simply shows no mail and the proverbial spinning beachball. Eventually, I have to force quit after several minutes of wasted time. Has anybody any ideas? Thanks

not sure if it will help you, but here are my settings:
email: [email protected]
server: web address for your server (example, if you access Outlook Web at an address such as https://www.mycompany.com/exchange you would enter www.mycompany.com)
domain: the domain setup at your server, may not be the same as the web address, check with your IT (example mycompany.local)
Username: what ever you use to login to you company machines (eg: LastFirst, finitialLast, etc)
Password: your password.
I leave SSL on, but may cause you issues if your companies certificate are self signed. You can try accessing via safari to see if there are certificate errors.
Set to push in the Fetch New Data settings.
Good luck

  • Problem accessing mail via Safari browser

    How do I access iCloud Mail via my Safari browser on my iPhone? If I go to iCloud.com it just offers me the option to install it on my phone.
    The problem is, I already have it installed on my phone and it works fine EXCEPT at my new job - the wifi is not very good and I can access internet/Facebook etc but every time I try and load email it always says it 'cannot find the server .' I therefore tried to access email via safari browser - my other email provider works fine that waybut iCloud doesn't even give me the option to login, just keeps suggesting I install it.
    Any ideas how I can check iCloud email at work? Can't do it on work computers, site is blocked....and there is no 3G/4G signal.
    Thanks for any advice!

    According to http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2618 you should be able to access it via a browser by going to https://www.icloud.com/#mail

  • Accessing mail via Exchange

    Is there some trick to setting the Touch up to push email from my work server via Exchange? I've typed in the user name, the password and the server and everything asked for. My employer tells me that ActiveSync has been activated. Co-workers have no trouble accessing their email using their Blackberrys. What might I be missing?

  • Why can't I access mail via the mail Icon on my desktop?

    I can only get mail when I log into my MobileMe account. When I click on the Mail Icon on my desktop,
    my Mailboxes are all empty. Was working fine until I changed my iTunes password earlier today.
    I'm also getting an error message in iCal: "the server doesn't recognize your username or password."

    Go to settings>mail/contacts/calendar>accounts (select MobileMe)>account ( and change your password to the new one).

  • Access Mail on Mac Server with non-Apple device

    I currently have a Windows server with Exchange installed and am considering replacing it with a Mac Server. IF I do that, can my non-Apple Windoes 7 & XP computers access Mail on the Mac Server as they now do with Exchange?

    Yes and no.  You will be able to access mail via IMAP but you will have a dickens of a time getting Address Book and Calendars to work.  Apple uses CardDAV and CalDAV respectively for these services.  Your options on WIndows are limited.  See here for options:
    http://caldav.calconnect.org/implementations/clients.html
    http://carddav.calconnect.org/implementations/clients.html
    If you are looking for something to "replace" Exchange, then check out Kerio Connect.

  • Why do I get an "unable to connect - There may be a problem with the mail server or network." message from iCloud.  I have verified the settings.  I can access my iCloud account online but can't send or receive e-mail via the mail account.

    Text limits to the "Question" link prevents a full explanation:
    This is a long-time problem.  I have tried to resolve it with Apple but their "Customer Support" is merely a name.
    I can go online and access my e-mail but when I try to send or receive e-mail via iCloud through my internet server (Google fiber now but the same situation existed with my prior service), I receive "There may be a problem with the mail server or network.  Verify the settings for 'Apple Email' and try again.
    "The server returned the error:  The server 'p0-imap.mail.me.com' refused to allow a connection on port 143."
    Well, I have verified the setting and tried again and again and …
    Well, you get the idea …

    Maybe you should test these things before calling people out, because these settings do function perfectly well.
    iCloud is not supported on Snow Leopard or lower, why bother to mention it?
    The OP has an iCloud account, and that can not be opened without Lion or Mountain Lion (on a Mac), IOS5 or 6 (on an iPhone/iPad)
    The document I linked to is Apples documentation for iCloud on current devices,I don't care whether you believe that you know better than they do, but it will affect the people who follow your advice as it won't work

  • Can I setup Mail app to access Yahoo mail via IMAP?

    Can I setup Mail app to access Yahoo mail via IMAP? I think that my iPhone is doing this, but what about the Apple Mail app on my Mac? I don't like the fact that the Mac downloads the e-mail messages and removes them from the server, therefore making them inaccessible from Yahoo's online mail or my iPhone.
    I'd like to get to work just like my Mobile Me e-mail... Any thoughts?

    There is an option in the 'Advanced' section of the account setup to delete the messages from the server after a specified period rather than immediately on download; you could leave them for a week or whatever, then they will still be there when the iPhone accesses them.

  • I cannot access old e-mails via Time machine since installing Mountain Lion at the beginning of August.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try the action that you're having trouble with again. Post any messages that appear in the Console window – the text, please, not a screenshot.

  • Cannot access iCloud mail via Mail.app

    Starting this afternoon, I have not been able to access my iCloud mail via the Mail.app program on my iMac. I am, however, able to access my iCloud mail via my iPod touch. Is anyone having a similar problem?

    I'm trying to fix this on my husband's Windows 7 machine. Same problem. Rotating gear, page never loads. Would appreciate guidance.
    Thanks!

  • Can't Attach Files in 10.9 Mail via Menubar/Toolbar

    All of a sudden I cannot attach files in Mail via menu commands.  A selection (finder) window opens but all items are grayed out (no matter what location).  I can still attach files by dragging them from the Desktop (or other location) into the body of the email.
    Isolation:
    -Issue persists in Safari when logging into webmail.
    --Choosing to "attach" a file to an email (new composure or reply) from the webmail attach links brings up a Finder window with all content grayed out.
    -Created test admin user.
    --logged in as new user.
    --set up Mail w/ an email account.
    --attempted file attachment from menubar/toolbar icons.
    --works.
    ***issue is user specific.
    Resolution:
    -Access primary user ~/Library/Preferences/.
    --locate files named "com.apple.finder" .plist (may have multiple files w/ additional characters).
    --select all and move to Trash.
    --Restart.
    -log in and test.

    Recently installed OX X 10.5 Leopard and ever since, I can't attach files to outgoing Gmail emails.
    I've tried in Safari, Camino and Firefox -- no luck.
    It does work if I switch to the "older version" of Gmail.
    Does anybody know if there's a setting I can change so I can use Gmail normally but be able to add attachments to mail?
    Anybody else having this issue?
    Your profile indicates you are running a very old version of Leopard which might explain the issue.
    Update to 10.5.8 using the combo update (not the auto software update) and see if that fixes your problem.

  • HT1338 What's going on with iCloud (MobileMe)?  I'm able to sign in here, but I can't access mail on my Macbook Pro, iPhone, or work computer.  I always get an authorization error (user-id or passwork wrong).  This has been going on for almost a week now.

    The single download means that you won't be able to redownload it from the store without paying, either on a computer's iTunes or an iOS device - it doesn't stop you from copying the audiobook to your other computers or syncing it to your iOS devices, you just can't redownload it. (I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time download.)
    You can download audiobooks on your computer's iTunes and sync them to iOS devices, you do not have to buy them directly on the device (if you do then you can copy them back to your computer's iTunes library by connecting the device and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option on your computer's iTunes).
    What you are doing to sync them should work i.e.
    - connecting the iPad to your Mac
    - selecting the iPad on your Mac's iTunes
    - selecting its Books tab and selecting the audiobooks that you want to sync to the iPad and syncing/applying that selection.
    You should then get an audiobooks option in the Music app on your iPad. If they aren't appearing there  then do they show in Settings > General > Usage > Music on the device - if you have audiobooks on the iPad then they should be listed there under an 'audiobooks' heading.
    By 'restart the iPad' do you mean a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    You could also try closing its Music app via the iPad's taskbar : Force an app to close in iOS.
    And do a soft-reset and retry syncing.
    I assume that music and other items sync ok ?

  • Java mail api: SendFailedException when trying to send Mail via SMTP

    Hello,
    I'm trying to send a mail via java mail api using a server that requires smtp authentication.
    I'm currently using the following code:

    host = "auth.smtp.profimailer.de";

    MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
    message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from,"[email protected]"));

    Hi,
    yes smtp is a standard and I think you could use this with almost every smtp server.
    If your smtp server doesn't require authentication you can access it without an authenticator
    I think...
    Best regards,
    Jens

  • No e-mail via Microsoft Outlook

    Can't sync e-mail via my new computer. Opted for Microsoft Outlook for my AT&T Yahoo e-mail on this computer, rather than directly using Yahoo Mail. All Inbox mail transferred correctly to Microsoft Outlook from Yahoo Mail, but now can't see any mail on my iphone. I'm using the same server information and port numbers on both the computer and iphone. No luck. Any suggestions?

    The mailboxes and messages for an account that you access with Outlook are not synced with the iPhone. This is not included with the iTunes sync process.
    If you are accessing your Yahoo account as a POP account, what is your account setting with Outlook for removing messages from the server when downloaded?
    The setting needs to be never if you want access to the same messages available at the incoming mail server for the account when accessing the account with the iPhone's Mail client.
    A POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. You cannot store sent messages on the server with a POP account, so any messages sent with the account using Outlook will not be available in the account's Sent mailbox when accessing the account with the iPhone's Mail client, and vice-versa.
    You should consider an IMAP account instead, which is designed to be accessed with an email client on multiple computers or devices. All server stored mailboxes for an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server with all email clients used to access the account. You can store the account's Drafts, Sent, and Trash mailbox on the server with both email clients used to access the account. Send a message with the account using the iPhone's Mail client, and the sent message will be available in the account's Sent mailbox automatically when checking the account with Outlook on your computer, and vice-versa. Read a new message with the iPhone's Mail client, and the message will be marked as read automatically when checking the account's Inbox mailbox with Outlook.
    This is not possible with a POP account.
