Almost have Hotmail/Mail.app working

Hello:
I recently deleted the httpmail plugin from Mail.app on my MBP in anticipation of an upgrade to Leopard. I have Tiger and Mail 2.0 sending and receiving Hotmail (Qwest w/ MSN Premium subscriber), however, when I start Mail.app, it says the pop3.live.com server doesn't have a root certificate. I continue anyway and all works well. It's very annoying having to do this each time I start Mail.app though.
I have tried Option-dragging the certificate to the desktop, double-clicking it and saving it to the x.509 anchors list. However, the certificate remains with a blue border and is still shown as signed by an untrusted authority.
Anyone know how or where one can get a root certificate from the pop3 server at Hotmail?
Thanks,
Bryan

Just thought I'd report that upgrading to Leopard solved my Hotmail connection problem. Leopard includes a feature whereby one can "trust" whatever certificate Hotmail (technically Windows Live) sends, even if it's not a root certificate. When Mail indicates the pop3.live.com certificate can't be verified (and that no root certificate exists), just click on "Show Certificate" and mark the "trust" menu item as "Always trust". My (MSN Premium) Hotmail account now works flawlessly with no need for the httpMail plugin.

  • Why doesn't markup in Mail app work on screen captures or pasted images?

    When in Mail app, If i right click and choose Capture selection from Screen I can take a screenshot which is inserted into the email.   The markup icon in the top right of the image never appears.  This is also true for images I copy and paste into the email.  It seems to me that being able to markup a screen capture is one of the most important use cases for this type of feature. 

    SteveTEXAS,
    When I right click and choose Capture selection. The image it places in the email will not show up on the recipients side. However if I use the Grab shortcuts on my Mac to take a screenshot then drag them in off the Desktop they not only show up on the recipients side, but Markup seems to work on them as well.
    I have no idea what would cause this. I think it would be something important to provide feedback to Apple about. https://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    You can find the Grab app in Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities
    Or you can use the keyboard shortcuts to take a screenshot. They will place them on your desktop.
    For a selection - ( Command ) ( Shift ) ( 4 )
    To select a whole window - ( Command ) ( Shift ) ( 4 ) > ( Spacebar ) > Click Window you want
    For whole display - ( Command ) ( Shift ) ( 3 )
    Hope that helps,
    Weston

  • After backup made by genius bar, in my laptop I have double "mail.app"

    Sometimes I don't get emails sent to me, and people don't receive those I'm sending.
    Might it depend on the double "mail.app"?
    How can I remove one of the two?

    Apple employees will never attempt to unlock a device, it is beyond their power. I'm not sure the employee would've been trying to unlock your phone, but maybe you misunderstood what they were trying to accomplish. If you have any questions for Apple, you can always call applecare at 1-800-APL-CARE or revisit the Apple Retail Store this took place at.
    Guess I should have said this is from my experiances only. So I could be mistaken.

  • Mail app works fine, all other apps cannot connect to wifi - suggestions?

    Hello
    I can connect fine to my work wifi but only the mail app is working - googlemail account. Safari cannot find server and all other apps requiring wifi do not work.
    All of the apps work fine when connecting to my home wifi so nothing wrong with the ipod.
    Confused. Do different apps use different wifi settings?
    Any help would be much appeciated!!

    There might be a filter or firewall at work preventing access to internet. Check with your network administrator.

  • Deleted Large Message now stuck in drafts and stopping mail app work at all

    I started to create a message containing a lot of photos from iPhoto - realising it was too big (23mb) I deleted it but it started trying to send the message (there was no address) - it then saved it in a new folder Drafts (.mac) since then I haven't been able to receive email at all. I have deleted the 'draft' a number of times and it keeps coming back. When I send a mail it hangs and doesn't send until I force quit and then it sends it but doesn't keep a record in sent items.
    When I leave it logged in for a while I get a message saying:
    Some actions taken while the account “.Mac” was offline could not be completed online.
    I've reconfigured my online offline settings to only save drafts locally but it hasn't helped and instead has deleted all of my offline folders!
    HELP!!

    Hi k:
    That file is in your home folder ~(symbol for home)>library>preferences.
    A preference file may (rare, but it happens) become corrupted. OS X rebuilds them as needed. You will need to enter any personal preferences that differ from the default settings.

  • [E2013] [MailApps] [JS] [Windows]: window.open from a mail app fails in Chrome and Firefox but works in IE

    I develop an Office Mail App which is used in Exchange 2013 On-Premises in my test lab. The mail app is hosted on IIS 8 (Windows Server 2012 R2) in the same LAN and ActiveDirectory domain.
    Opening popup windows from the mail app does only work in IE, not in Chrome and Firefox.
    Here are the details:
    The following server and domain names are changed to hide our internal names. I adjusted the error messages accordingly.
    Exchange 2013 is available at https://e13.some.dom/owa...
    The app content comes from https://server.some.dom/...
    Both the app and exchange server have valid SSL certicates.
    Both server URLs are listed in the popup exception lists of the browsers I use.
    The app generates html with an element which uses onclick to open another item in the same mailbox in a new browser window. Like so:
    <a onclick="window.open('https://e13.some.dom/owa/#viewmodel=ReadMessageItem&ItemID=SomeValidID', '_blank', 'width=600,height=400');">click me</a>
    Clicking that link in Internet Explorer (11.0.9600.17105; Update Versions: 11.0.7) opens a new browser window and shows the message specified with "SomeValidID". All good.
    When I use Chrome (Version 34.0.1847.131 m) the popup browser window opens. I see some progress text "Starting..." and "Almost there..." and then this error:
    something went wrong
    Sorry, we can't get that information right now. Please try again later. If the problem continues, contact your helpdesk.

    In Firefox I see the popOutManager-access with "permission denied", but the popup window itself was already opened.
    Seems like the opened popup window tries to open another window?
    When I open up a new browser window in Chrome or Firefox manually and paste the URL (https://e13.some.dom/owa/#viewmodel=ReadMessageItem&ItemID=SomeValidID) manually in the address bar the message is shown correctly, so the URL itself does not seem to be
    the problem.
    Double clicking on messages in Chrome and Firefox opens those messages in new windows as well. So it does not seem to be a general popup problem in Chrome and Firefox as well.
    Any ideas how I get the popups from my mail app working in Chrome and Firefox as well?

  • Apple Mail App won't work for Yahoo Mail

    About two months ago I switched from using the Yahoo web interface for my Yahoo mail to using the Apple Mail App.  (Yahoo changed their web interface and I didn't like the new one).  The Apple mail app worked fine until 2 days ago.  I couldn't get new mail or send mail.  It appeared that mail could not connect to the Yahoo mail server.  I killed mail and started it up, that didn't work.  I took the account offline and then back online and that didn't work.  When I tried to do things like delete mail that I had received before the problem started Mail appeared to hang and I had to Force Quit Mail.  Finally I deleted the email account from mail and then tried to recreate it.  Now I can't recreate the account via the normal mail process of creating an account. 
    I have a MacBook Pro which I bought about 4 months ago. I'm on OSX 10.9.1.  I'm using Mail version 7.1 that came with the MacBook Pro.
    So I am back to using the Yahoo web interface, that I really don't like.  BTW my mail works fine on my iPhone. 

    Well, Mail crashed.  Then the WiFi I was using went down (I'm at a Texas State park and the power failed) and I switched to using my iPhone as a hot spot and it suddenly connected.  Could the problem have been the Texas State Park router?

  • Mail app not working on school wireless network?

    I'm confused. When I'm at school and on their wireless network, the internet works fine (I'm posting this from class), but the Mail application will not receive mail. I can access my email account from the web without a problem, but it won't work in the app. Mail app works fine on my wireless network at home, though.
    Any ideas?

    I have been experiencing similar problems with my connection working in some locations and not in others. It seems to have something to do with what software is being used at the location to block "inappropriate use". What I'm wondering is whether it's actually a timing issue with the firewall delaying the packets or if it is the actual port being blocked. At other times, the messages have indicated that the connection timed out.
    As with some of the other people on this forum, my error message is
    The server error encountered was: Mail was unable to connect to server “mail.mac.com” using SSL on port 993. Verify that this server supports SSL and that your account settings are correct.
    From these locations, I am able to go to the http://www.mac.com site. However, sometimes, the messages take a very long time to load or never complete loading. I don't know if this could be a connected problem. The places where I have the most problems with mail via www.mac.com are also the locations where the mail application has problems.

  • Mail app guit working. Why?

    Mail app suddenly locked up. Now the screen is blank and shows no messages.

    Apps can quit for any number of reasons. Its not totally unusual. Maybe you had a lot of apps open, maybe you have too many emails and you should start deleting some of them.
    You can try any of these things to see if they help get the mail app working again.
    Force quit the app by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears. Let go of the sleep button and then hold down on the home button until the app quits. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • IPod Touch Mail App not working

    My family just had FiOS installed a couple days ago.  It's taken my brother and I a couple days to notice that the mail apps on our iPod Touches (which worked 100% with our old Verizon DSL) are no longer working (i.e. they are no longer pushing emails from our Yahoo and GMail accounts to the iPods).
    I deleted my Yahoo account from my iPod and then tried to re-add it to see if that would fix things and the message I got from the iPod reads: "the imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com is not responding. check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the incoming mail server field"  My brother's Touch gave him a different message regarding his Gmail account but he's not here at the moment for me to quote it directly.  Only via the wifi at work was I able to successfully re-add my Yahoo account to the iPod.  Now I'm back home again and when I try to refresh my inbox it's just "Checking for Mail..." indefinitely.
    Note that it's only the mail app that is not functioning; all the other online functionality of the iPods (Safari, Youtube, weather app, iTunes) are working 100% with FiOS.  And as I mentioned above, the mail app worked today on the wifi at work.  It's only at home with the new FiOS that the mail app on my iPod stops working.
    Any ideas?  Might there perhaps be something I can tinker with in the router settings?

    Me again. I've discovered the mail app works when I set the firewall from maximum to typical. Is there any way to tell it to let it work on maximum?

  • Exception in javascript library when testing Mail app with IE9/ Safari

    Hi,
    I have almost finished my mail app, but a strange issue that only appears with IE9 prevents me from successfully completing the verification process and therefore I can not publish my app.
    The issue is very similar to this post, which could unfortunately not have been answered so far:
    'OSF is undefined' script error in o15apptofilemappingtable.js
    file when Mail App launched
    I have tested the app successfully with the following browsers: Chrome (40.0.2214.111 m), Firefox (35.0.1), IE 11 and IE 10.
    In IE9 I first get:
    App
    Error Something
    went wrong and we couldn't start this app. Please try again later or contact your system administrator.
    When
    I then click "retry" I get:
    App
    Error This
    app may not load properly, but you can still try to start it.
    After
    I click start the app works. The debug console of IE indicates that there is a problem in the o15apptofilemappingtable.js file:
    SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'GetContext' o15apptofilemappingtable.js, line 11 character 110934
    The problem should be the call to: "window.external.GetContext()" in the file mentioned above.
    Important to mention is, that when I build and deploy the sample mail project that ships with Visual Studio it just works fine (this is a difference to the other thread from above). There must be something special with my code but even after days of research
    I can absolutely not figure out what it is. In contrast to the sample mail app, my project is an ASP.NET MVC application by the way (if that is important).
    To isolate the problem I tried several things:
    * I have removed all other javascript libraries to make sure that there are no conflicts between them.
    * I removed all javascript code except the Office.initialize= ...
    code to be sure that there isn't a problem with my custom javascript code. 
    But whatever I tried it doesn't help and basically I am fishing in troubled waters as I do not have an idea what the real problem is and why it is only happening on IE9.
    Best regards
    Stefan

    Hi,
    in the meantime I noticed that I also get this problem with Safari.
    I started to debug the office api and could isolate the problem further. 
    Please forward the following information to the responsible microsoft engineer as it contains valuable information to fix the problem.
    The Exception I get happens becaus of a call to window.external.GetContext() in in the o15apptofilemappingtable.js.  The calls happens because in the function OSF.InitializationHelper.prototype.getAppContext, the value of this._hostInfo.isRichClient
    is true. Looks like in IE9 and Safari the api thinks it is running in the desktop version of outlook (but of course it is not and therefore the call to window.external fails -> I guess only available/set in desktop environment).
    The api thinks of running as rich client becaus the XdmInfoValue does not exist in o15apptofilemappingtable.debug.js line 155 (it is undefined). I am not a javascript specialist and don't know what xdm stands for (cross domain? X-Document?) but however:
    the xdm part which should be passed in the window.location as a hash value is not set in IE9/ Safari.
    At this position I lose the scent and don't know where the xdm part is passed/added to the url. Perhaps in the osfruntime.js? Unfortunately I couldn't find a debug version of this file.
    Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have further questions
    Regards
    Stefan

  • Mail.app can't send emails

    Mail.app (either 3.6 under 10.5.8 or 4.5 under 10.6.7) has lost the ability to send emails.  Both can receive/download emails from Yahoo Mail but neither can send messages. 
    Sticking to 10.6: I've installed Thunderbird which does work "both ways" but I really want my Mail.app back. 
    This has been a perennial problem going back some versions of OS X and Mail.app. Mail.app works fine for months but then there will be times when the sent emails seem to stall but can be made to send if I first quit the sending process with Activity Monitor, quit Mail.app and relaunch. This will go on for a few days, then NO emails can be sent.   
    Thanks in advance for any help. 

    Thanks for your response, William.
    First I'll answer your question and then update what's happened over the past 10 hours or so.
    Connection Doctor (this is typical) will show two activities - as represented by the "spinning gear" wheels. 
    Both say: "Connecting to server."
    Often: one of the two activities eventually shows a green button and  shows a message: "Mail has connected to the internet."
    But Mail.app is then unable to connect with the smpt server.  
    Nothing more happens for many minutes - usually this ends with a message telling me to check my email and network connections.   (I've done those checks dozens of times - nothing is ever changed or incorrect.)
    Tonight (after getting notice of your post to my question), I again tried sending a test message (to myself and to myself  again - in my hotmail account)
    I was preparing to respond to your question about Connection Doctor so I hit "Send" for the test massage and launched Connection Doctor.  Again - nothing happened for about 10-15 minutes but Connection Doctor then flashed a message for me to enter my account login password.  I entered my password - but "nothing continued to happen." 
    Finally - without warning - the test message was sent (and the much loved "swoosh" sound was heard)!    
    49 days: that's how long it's been since I could use Mail.app to send messages.  For no reason I can see - the smpt.ameritech.yahoo server RESPONDED!
    Yes - I immediately composed another test message and this one went "swoosh" as soon as I hit the Send button.  
    Next: Tuesday (first business day after Memorial Day) I'll call my ISP and try to sort this out with them.  This is NOT a Mac problem.  I have proven this: tried to send from both 10.5.8 (Mail.app 3.6), from 10.6.7 (Mail.app 4.5) on my Mac Pro and from my MacBook (also running 10.6.7 and Mail.app 4.5).  NONE of these platforms can connect with smtp.ameritech.yahoo server.  
    You: get a "helpful" rating because, if not for your question about Connection Doctor, I would never have tried (yet again) sending another test message.   I was simply convinced that doing that was useless after many tries.    

  • Mac Mail.app V.2.0.5 with OSX server's email don't play well sometimes

    I have my own web, FTP, and email server. (OSX 10.4.4 Server). I've been managing my own server services since AppleShare V.6 .So I've done this a few times. I have set up an account for myself "nino" on the server that people email to, you know "[email protected]".
    On my laptop I have Mac Mail.app set to log onto my server, via the internet, and to get and send emails. Sounds pretty normal right? Yep, it is except four or five times since I updated the server to 10.4.4., last December, Mac Mail.app simply stops receiving email from my account. Now I'm a pretty busy guy and email is my main source of communications. Plus get a healthy amount of junk mail. So I hear that familiar beep at least twice an hour - usually a lot more. I can always when this tell when this anomaly happens when two hours go by without something arriving in Mac Mail.app.
    The catch here is the server is still accepting mail for my account. I can go to web mail, which I have set-up and working fine, and new emails are there! Mac Mail.app simple stops accepting them.
    I have tried:
    restarting both machines
    changing the password to my account, on both machines
    actually deleting my account from Mac Mail.app, restarting and creating my account again
    Nada.... I can see emails adding up in web mail....grrrrrr.
    The only way I know to resolve this is to, gulp, delete my account on the Server and set it up again. This seems to work but unless I've answered messages in web mail their gone! Poof. I do like to keep good records by saving and organizing business related emails. So when this happens I'm screwed.
    Any thoughts?

  • Mail app does not sync "Sent" or "Read" messages with my iPhone mail app.

    I just started using a new Mac Mini (running 10.9.1). I have the Mail app connected to a handfull of different email addresses, and my iPhone mail app is connected to the same addresses. If I send a message on one device, the other device will not show it. If I read a message on one, the other will not show that I've read it.
    I assume the two Apple devices, both running up-to-date operating systems and using the native Mail app, should be communicating with each other in a way that allows me to work between the two seamlessly. Am I just incorrect in my assumption, is there something I can fix, or is this a bug we're waiting to have repaired?

    Actually, my Gmail is the one that does work appropriately. I have a few IMAP addresses I use that do not sync between devices.
