After switch to new Imap server, todos in Mail no longer work

I use mail.app with imap and have used the "to do" feature a lot to mark mail messages with a follow up todo. This is the function where you select some text in the mail message and click the to do button, and a little yellow pad opens at the top where you can input a to do that is related (and linked) to the email message.
I recently switched hosting companies and now when I do what I described above, i get the yellow pad, but you can't enter text or otherwise create a to do.
I've seen a couple other posts on this

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9855065&#9855065
but no solution (other than upgrade to snow leopard; since it worked before, I don't think that's the only possible fix) I tried changing the prefs to store todos on my mac, rather than on the imap server but that did not fix it. Any clues?

I've not found that service very reliable. It is much more reliable to create a To Do list in iCal. You can copy/paste contents from Mail into iCal new To Dos and attach an e-mail contact as well.

  • HT3748 since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Mail no longer works well w/exchange email; so, I have had to switch back to outlook. Now, how can I use outlook for mac's calendar and contacts with icloud?

    Since uprgading to Mountain Lion, my mac mail no longer works with my exchange email properly. I finally gave up and moved back to outlook for mac, but now my new issue is using outlook calendar and contacts with icloud; possible?

    Sorry but I'm really not to sure what I have. I'm not good with knowing my computer model. All I know is that its a MacBook running with Leopard. I got my computer last year so I suppose its fairly new. Is there a place on my computer where I can check to see what it is (sorry to be so dumb with my own mac)
    And everything else works fine. I love Safari. It's just my mail that doesn't work. Here's the message that pop up several times.
    "The MobileMe IMAP server “mail.mac.com” rejected the password for user “akcastaldo”
    Please re-enter your password, or cancel."
    The only problem here is, even though I enter my password it doesn't do anything. It makes that message go away for about 3-5 mins. After that it pops right back up. And I can't even go into my preference and change my email password. So I don't know what to do.

  • Weird difference after adding a new imap account.

    Well, this is weird, unlike my other accounts this is what it looks like when I add new folders on this account.
    Anybody have any idea why this would happen? I'm running tiger and the most up to date patches.
    powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Read from: http://www.courier-mta.org/?FAQ.html
    Q: Can't create folders, only subfolders of INBOX
    This is a configuration issue with your mail client. IMAP servers are free to use any folder namespace arrangement that's technically convenient for them. Courier uses "INBOX." as the namespace for private folders, and "shared." as the namespace for public, shared, folders. The IMAP NAMESPACE extension (see http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2342.txt) allows IMAP clients to automatically discover where the server creates folders, and your IMAP client should implement it.
    This should be completely transparent to you, if your IMAP client properly uses the NAMESPACE extension. If your IMAP client were to automatically take advantage of self-configuration features offered by RFC 2060 and RFC 2342, it would automatically discover, without any additional configuration from the user, that:
    The folder namespace hierarchy separator is the . character
    Private folders are stored underneath the "INBOX." hierarchy
    Public folders are stored underneath the "shared." hierarchy
    If you have to explicitly create folders that are subfolders of INBOX, or if you explicitly have to name that "INBOX.foldername", this is due to your IMAP client not being able to configure itself accordingly.
    A: Correct. IMAP servers are free to define any root of the folder namespace tree that's convenient for them. Courier's IMAP server uses INBOX as the folder namespace root, rather than the root hierarchy itself. Courier supports the NAMESPACE IMAP extension which allows compliant IMAP clients to automatically configure themselves so that the folder namespace root is transparent. Submit an enhancement request to have your IMAP client gracefully handle the folder namespace root.
    Does this mean that Mail.app isn't rfc compliant when dealing with imap?

  • Lost all ratings, playlists, etc... after switch to new pc.

    I know there are many topics like this, but I tried everything I found on the subject without any result.
    I bought a new pc and removed my harddrives from the old one to the new one.
    After reinstalling itunes and changing the location of the default itunes media map to the one where my old files are nothing happened.
    I then tried to import the 'iTunes Music Library.xml' file.
    (On a side note, took me a long time to find 'Import playlist' because the threads I was reading didn't mention to  press Ctrl+B to get the old menu bar back.)
    That didn't work. It imported all the music. But no playlists and the tracks lost their rating.
    I then removed the xml and the iTunes Library.itl and replaced them with  automatic backup files I have through crashplan.
    No results, even going back several versions of the back ups.
    The weird thing is these files say the last version of them is 2009 ?
    Before switching pc's I made sure the itunes media map was the one I was using,
    because I remember itunes changing it a couple of time back in the days after updates without asking.
    The location hadn't changed and everything in crashplan was backupped correctly.
    I've been messing with this for hours and I'm close to a panic attack knowing that I still have to connect my iphone for the first time.
    Something tells me that's gonna be misery too. Lost months of pictures etc after switching from 3GS to 5S.
    Anyway, if somebody knows how I can get years of playlists and ratings back, I would be very grateful.

    When itunes upgrades, it saves a copy of the current database in a folder named Previous iTunes Libraries.
    Copy & paste the mose recent one to the folder one level up, and rename it to get rid of the date.
    For example
    itunes/Previous itunes libraries/iTunes Library 2010-03-31.itl
    This shows my last upgrade was 31st March 2010.
    With itunes closed, copy that itl file and paste it in the itunes folder.
    Rename it so it looks like this
    iTunes Library.itl
    You'll have to delete the current (blank) itl file first.

  • Issue setting up new imap account on apple mail

    I’ve had a number of comcast.net email accounts for many years.  They were originally set up and continue to use POP protocol.  They all work fine on Apple Mail.  I recently set up one new comcast.net email account.  This new account is IMAP and it appears that’s the only choice one now has for new accounts.  I asked Apple Mail to set up an account for this new address and it did so. 
    It works maybe half the time.  The other half the time, I get an error message on Apple Mail for this one account only that says,
    “Unable to open “xxxxxx”  The connection to the server “imap.comcast.net” on port yyy timed out.
    The referenced port would appear to be the correct one for sending secure imap email. 
    Any thoughts as to why connecting to this one imap email account on comcast is problemmatic???

  • After downloading the new update for Firefox I can no longer get Firefox to respond. I can only get it to respond in safe mode. Why?

    After downloading the new update to Firefox I cannot get Firefox to respond. The only way I can use Firefox is in Safe Mode.

  • New M5000 server - Can't get bge0 to work in the OS

    Just recently powered up a new M5000 server. Went through the setup process of setting the networking details of the management card - which I believe also works through ethernet0 (LAN#0). That is working just fine and is what I have used to access the system console. Single domain, nothing odd in the configuration.
    The pre-installed Solaris sees bge0 and bge1. It also shows the ppp connection for the dscp.
    if config shows a normal adapter config but without the RUNNING flag. cfgadm shows the drivers properly loaded. There are cables connected to both NIC cards. The same result, btw, on the bge1 card. The NIC's show activity LED's so there is definitely a physical connection there.
    What else can I provide to get assist anyone in helping me solve this problem?
    Thanks

    Have installed the above mentioned server running the x86 platform with Solaris 10 1/08 with broadcom ethernet adaptor cards.

    All these including restart procedures aren't working.
    I dont seem to be able to get to other devices on the network yet the local TCP/IP stack behaves just OK. I can ping all the interfaces but cannot ping any device on the network.
    During install too, I attempted to acquire a dhcp address via the network from a dhcp server that serves IPs to our network but failed thus proceeded to static addressing.
    Any advice please?

  • Mapping Mail to the IMAP Server's sent mail folder.

    In Mail, how do I tell my IMAP account what folder to store sent mail in on the IMAP server?
    NOTE! I am not asking how to make it store on the server. I know if you go to a mail boxes preferences you can check a box that says "Store sent messages on server." I assure you that box is checked.
    On my windows box I use Thunderbird, and with Thunderbird I have to manually tell it I want to store all of my mail in the subscribed folder entitled "sent-mail." This works fine. I can not figure out how to do this with Mail. I am assuming this is why my sent mail is not getting stored on the server.
    Cheers,
    ccerinojr

    Click on the Sent folder, then click Mailbox in the Menubar, place cursor on Use This Mailbox For, and choose Sent, which you should find in black type.
    Keep us posted.

  • IMAP server with multiple mail account on multiple mail clients

    Hello,
    I have the following problem that I would like to share with the community in order to find a solution.
    On my Mac OS X Maverick (OS X 10.9.3 (Build 13D65)) Server (Server 3.1.2 (Build 13S4517)) I configured dovecot (Ver. 2.2) as IMAP server.
    I created 8 email accounts on the server and I started the email traffic on the system.
    It works well and it sound good! But...
    I started to configure different mail clients (i.e. OS Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook (different release, same behavior)) on different client machines (i.e. Mac OS X, Windows xxx, Lubuntu 14.04).
    On each client I have to configure all 8 emails accounts previously created on the Server and...
    Something strange start to appear...
    1. On the dovecot error file a lot of messages appear like the following:
        Jul 02 16:56:55 imap(pid 15241 user <xxxxx>): Fatal: setuid(505(<xxxxx>) from userdb lookup) failed with euid=506(<yyyyy>): Operation not permitted (This binary should probably be called with process user set to 505(<xxxxx>) instead of 506(<yyyyy>))
       but also if it's not normal there are not problems and dovecot works fine...
    2. Sometime on the Thunderbird and Outlook clients a message that says that some account has been disconnected appears...
       but also this problem appears a false because by moving on the different accounts configured I'm able to see the right emails present on the Server
    3. On the OS Mail clients I see continuously error messages that say that some account has been disconnected...
       but also in this case the problem appears a false because by moving on the different accounts configured I'm able to see the right emails present on the Server (also if with some trouble more than the other email clients...)
    Now, the question is: have you may be information about problems with this kind of configuration? Maybe am I trying to make something that at the moment is not possible to be made? Or, have I found a bug (or more than one) in the components that I'm using?
    Thanks a lot to all the people that will help me

    Assuming you're on a NAT'd network, DNS services can cause all sorts of weird errors with the mail server, including spontaneous name changes.
    To verify local DNS services, launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities and issue the following harmless diagnostic message:
    sudo changeip -checkhostname
    You'll need to enter an administrative password for the sudo, might see a one-time informational message around the usage of sudo, then you'll see some host and network configuration information, and finally an indication that either no changes are required, or that there are local DNS or the network has configuration issues.  Also, make sure you're not using .local or .arpa as the top-level domain within the DNS services.
    Public DNS for the mail server can also cause communications issues, if that's not configured correctly — that won't cause the issue you're seeing in the logs here, but it will cause inbound mail to not reach your server, and outbound mail from your server to be dropped by the remote server.  To verify your public DNS, launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities and issue the commands discussed in this thread or this thread and confirm that your internal and external MX record and your internal and external forward and reverse DNS settings are all correct.

  • Remote Desktop "Bypass RD gateway server for local addresses" no longer working in Windows 8

    Hi,
    After installing windows 8, it seems like the "Bypass RD gateway server for local addresses" is no longer working.
    In Windows 7, when the option is checked, I could have the server name set always and the client will automatically detect whether to use the RD gateway or not. For example, from my house, if I am connecting to a computer at my work, which requires
    the RD gateway, it will automatically pops up the dialog for authentication method. However, if I connect to a computer in my home network, it will just automatically connects without asking authentication for the RD gateway.
    However, after installing windows 8, this does not seem to work as expected anymore. The option is checked but the Windows Security dialog pops up in both situations and so i have to either save the rdp file locally and pin it to the taskbar or switch between
    disabling and enabling the RD gateway whenever I need to connect to different machines.
    Is this a regression in Windows 8? Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?
    Thanks

    Another way to resolve this issue for me, beside of configuring RDP to connect directly to server also on unmanaged network, will be to turn the "wifi" subnet in a managed network, as the "wired" subnet is.
    The differences between thoses to subnets, dynamically assigned by the same DHCP server, are:
    The "wifi" is in a private IP range, the "wired" is in a public IP range
    There's an ACL on the "wifi" subnet, not on the "wired"
    The next step is to compare frames send/received when on the two networks. Something will likely tell for the network to be managed.
    Beside, I'm still searching informations about NLA, which is responsible for setting a nework as managed or not.
    Here are some clues:

  • New DVR Scheduler Bugs: Priority Settings No Longer Working, Scrolling Series Schedules is Flakey

    Hi,
    After this last HD DVR update, I have two new problems:
    1) I can no longer set the priority of most of my series schedules. I have about 100 series schedule entries, which the DVR update probably wasn't tested for.
    Now when I try to set a series priority, it LOOKS like it worked, but if I get out of DVR options and go back into Manage Recordings, 90% of the time I find that the series priority is either unchanged, or (even worse) has bounced up to some unexpected random priority - Thus, I have to search the series list  to find it - Then I cannot move it back to where it's supposed to be!
    It seems that only moving a series priority a little bit will sometimes work, but moving the series from near the top of the list to near the bottom (or vice-versa) doesn't work at all, even though it may appear like it worked until the list is refreshed (either by paging up and down the list a few times, or by exiting the DVR manager and going back in).
    2) The scrolling is messed up now in the series schedule manager - When setting Priority, as I scrool up or down from the middle of the list using the arrow or Page buttons,  the list will end unexpectedly, making it impossible to actually drag the series to the bottom or top of the list. Then if you deposit the series at the "end" of the list, suddenly the rest of the list will then magically appear (of course, the series schedule you deposited there will no longer be where you deposited it - See problem #1). Obviously the list is running out of buffer space, so the next part of the list isn't being loaded while you're in the process of changing a series priority..
    Scrolling is also messed up just scrolling through the list without changing priority: Scrolling through my series schedules USED to be very FAST and painless using the Page (Channel) up/down button, I could scroll from top to bottom of my 100 series schedules in a matter of like 5 seconds. NOW, it takes forever and is a real pain to scroll from top to bottom, because the scrolling pauses on just about every other page - As though it ran out of buffer space and is having trouble loading the next buffer.
    I have a lot of series schedule entries so all the First-run Programs are at the top of the priority list, then all the re-runs are in the bottom half of the list. That's the only way I have found to prevent Re-Runs from hijacking new programs, since there's no DVR option to prevent re-runs from inteferring with new episodes (BTW, in order for this to work, the First-Run schedule must be created first. Then a duplicate First-Run and Reruns schedule must be created - Creating them in reverse order will throw a "Duplicate" error message).
    The DVR software has always been buggy and feature-depribed, but this is rediculous - To think the programming team didn't even test the scrolling and priority of series schedules is as bad as the ObamaCare website, and that's setting a very low bar! You HAVE to test EVERYTHING when you release new updates, even if the programmers say it won't affect anything else, because from my experience programmers develop tunnel vision (been there, done that myself), and if you have more than one person on the programming team, neither programmer will communicate their changes to anyone else (been there, done that too).

    I have the identical problem after the recent software upgrade which VERIZON did to my DVR.
    In addition, I have "Manual Series" listed under the "Manage Series Recordings" section of my DVR for about 10 of the tv shows that I have tagged to be recorded weekly. Several others have reported this seemingly related problem to this forum.
    I've tried twice to report the latter problem to VERIZON's technical support staff, but met with indifference in the first attempt (a guy recommended that I replace my DVR with a new one - an utterly ridiculous suggestion), and in my second attempt I got a somewhat helpful lady who couldn't correct this glitch and was unaware of others having same problem but promised to send it up the flagpole to higher level tech folks (best action that I realistically could get).
    As I told VERIZON's techies, I likely was not the only customer experiencing these problems - and your and others postings to this forum confirm my initial hunch.  VERIZON leaves a lot to be desired in the testing of their software "upgrades".

  • After resetting all plug-ins a recently installed plugin no longer works and will not reinstall. It will not show up in the add-ons depsite saying it installed

    I recently had to reset my plugins using Firefox 12 in safemode to get rid of an extension/add-on causing a redirect problem. All has been well, except a plugin I needed no longer works. It is called "missing-e" and is for Tumblr.
    I have tried reinstalling it at least 5 times, per their instructions, and am now here after they said it was a browser issue. I do get prompted to install it to firefox, I have it install, I get the message it was installed correctly - but then it never shows up in either the Extensions or Plugins area under Add-Ons area (though nothing ever shows up in Extensions). And the features it enables in tumblr are not enabled.
    The 'missing-e' people sent me here saying they believe this is a browser problem.

    Are you talking about plugins or extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) as you mention Safe mode?
    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

  • After updating to Firefox 3.6.13 saved passwords no longer work

    Prior to updating to 3.6.13 saved usernames and passwords worked as they should (those fields were automatically filled in). Now after installing 2.6.13 most saved login info will not fill in upon entering the web site. I can go to tools, options, security, saved passwords and all are still listed, yet do not work. I have deleted a couple thinking Firefox would then ask to save login data for that same site, but it doesn't. I tried reverting back to my previous version of 3.5.16 bur saved passwords will no longer work there either.
    It seems as if Firefox doesn't see the saved info.

  • Mail no longer working properly after update

    Since the recent mail update, my work email (which is run by google) has been a disaster (believe me, that's not hyperbole). Deleted emails, emails with a different person indicated in the inbox but when you open it it's a completely different email chain. I didn't have any of the problems with my gmail or my work account before. Anyone else experiencing problems after the update?
    I don't have the problem on my phone or iPad.
    Thanks.
