Any success stories with AOL & Mail??

I love Mail (as opposed to Entourage) but I never could figure out how to make all of the stupid issues go away? Is AOL just really not compatible or has anyone actually been successfully using the two together for more than 2 months?
In case anyone wants to try and sympathize. I can get everything working like a dream and then I would get one e-mail that would seem to mess everything up, and mail would not receive anymore... Repeat, Repeat, Repeat... Finally I got fed up and went back to Entourage.

Tried that one before. Every time Mail acted up that is what I did to fix it. After that (and getting ride of the problem e-mail) it would work fine.
When acting up it would "Quit Unexpectedly" then quit receiving new mail. It seemed like it was triggered by emails occasionally. I would get one it didn't like then the problem begins.
Not a big deal just a pain, enough to quit using Mail

Any success stories? PS & Ai CS4 and Snow Leopard

I ran out of memory too many times on my G-5 iMac with 2.5 GIG of ram trying to run PS & Ai at the same time.
So I bought a Mac Pro tower (Quad Core- 2.66 w/ 10 GIG ram). I purchased this reconditioned (at the advice of Apple Care) so that I could downgrade the system from Snow Leopard to Leopard. It would have worked fine, but the folks in the reconditioning department decided to ship me a new machine instead of a reconditioned one. So now I CAN NOT down grade the system.
I want a system that works! I have lost too much time with all these PS crashes- so I thought it would be safe to go with Leopard + CS4 + tons of ram. Well that is not going to work. Apple is happy to take the computer back- but I have bought the ram & monitor from a third party retailer. (I am stuck with that.)
I would love to keep this tower if I can hear from some of you wonderful power users that now (after many months of problems) you have found Snow Leopard & CS 4 willing to play happily together.
And yes, I thought about CS 5- but from the posts in this forum- it sounds even worse that what I am going through right now. (Having to restart my computer after Photoshop crashes because I have been going back and forth between PS & Ai and one or the other refuses to give make my memory!)
Anybody have any success stories?

JV:
I would be lost without my Alien Skin filters!
I was working in a perfect world: new machine, clean install of 10.6.4
Then I loaded PS CS 4 & AI CS 4- then the filters.
The versions I have were for Leopard & Snow Leopard (downloaded 11/09).
I only add the fonts I need & have been careful that they are full licensed fonts from reprutable foundries.
I am not taking any chances with this machine.
I use my old G-5 iMac running 10.4.11 for everything else. I am a Freehand user so my plan all along was to keep that computer for that.
But I also keep all Microsoft & web surfing on that machine too.
There is a good article from Alien Skin regarding installation in Snow Leopard:

Good luck!

Im getting a folder with a "!" any success stories??

I have recieved both an unhappy icon and a this folder, what does it mean as apple give no direct answer. Alsohow do you phone up because they say you have to pay?? How do you organise to send back??

Yes, I believe that there are many success stories, included mine. I have managed to fix up few different iPods from my friends and family members with the same problem. Please read the following
Suggestions when you run into a problem of a Sad iPod icon or a folder icon with exclamation point with your iPod.
1. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) will conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
2. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Still can't see your iPod?
Several things could keep iPod from appearing in iTunes or in the Desktop/Finder when you connect it to your PC/Mac. The most likely causes are listed below in logical order. Check each one starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping iPod from appearing.
3. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
4. Try another known-good FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
5. Try another known-good FireWire or USB port on your computer .
6. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
7. Try to connect on a different computer i.e. a PC formatted iPod connect with a Mac computer or Mac formatted iPod with a Window base PC.
8. Try to do a Erase (Disk Utility) on a Mac computer or a reformat with a PC (Disk Management tool) but ensure you choose the right Drive (your iPod not your Hard Disk of your computer).
9. Try to run the iPod in “Diagnostic mode” . which can be accessed by pushing the “hold” switch into the “on” position and then “off” (into the original position). Then press the following buttons in the following order: “menu” plus “select” (centre button) then press “reverse” plus “select”. This will take you to the hidden diagnostic mode screen menu. It may take a few trials and pressing the buttons in the right way for this to work, so be patient and keep trying if you have to. The diagnostic mode will give you 7 choices which are: Memory, IO, Power, Status, SysCfg, Diskmode, and Reset. Don’t bother trying “reset” because in my case it didn’t work it just took me back to the same problem. Instead, choose “diskmode”, after which you should get an odd looking “ok to disconnect” sign on the iPod screen.
If one of the above step helps to get your iPod to be recognized with your computer, do a Restore.
But, if none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired. You can arrange for service at the iPod Service Website.

Versamail Auto-sync feature not working with AOL mail w/Treo 700p (Verizon)

I'm having a problem with the Auto-sync feature not working with my 700p (verizon) with my aol mail. It had worked perfect since May 2007. Just started having problems End of April 2008. Sounded like I needed another incoming mail server from aol other than: imap.aol.com, aol told me they also use pop.aol.com, that isn't working either. I get an error message that says "last auto-sync attempt failed."....Anyone else having this issue? I'm trying to decide whether to get rid of my aol mail of 14 yrs and use other address to continue using versamail 3.5 or keep aol and use Verizon Wireless sync. I do not like how wireless sync sends mail to outbox and then syncs vs sending right away. Please help...
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

I am having the EXACT same problem: Palm 700p, Versamail, AOL, Verizon.
It started about 1 month ago. The GET still works, but AUTO-SYNC does not...After spending hours on the phone with Palm tech support, and reaching someone who said AOL had changed something in their servers. They suggested TRYING Chatteremail, another Palm product. I have tried it for 20+ days out of the 30 days you get for free. It works pretty well, but NOT every e-mail that goes to my AOL acct is making it to my phone. The thing that's great about Chatter is that can be "live" all of time. Not auto-syncing every 15 minutes.
It's very frustrating....The same way the Versamail just stopping auto-syncing is very frustrating. With Versamail, sometimes I did not even get the error message. If Chatteremail worked consistently, I would bite the bullet, and pay for it, but to pay for it, and have it not pull down all the e-mails, all the time is not good.
I spoke to Palm Tech Support in N. America today, and they say the way AOL uses IMAP servers is in a non-traditional way, and it's very hard to deal with. They suggest ditching AOL, and using something reliable for syncing purposes like GMAIL. It's just hard to cut the cord. The man I was on the phone with knew of my problem, and he solved it by getting rid of AOL. It's just tough, since so many people have the e-mail address for me.
On http://mobile.aol.com/aolproducts/mobile-email/mail-client
there seems to be some indication when you click on Smart Phones on left, that Coming Soon is Palm, but I don't know if that's going to be downloadable for 700p, or Palms moving forward. Or how far away that is.
I tried wireless sync and hated it.
This is really a pain in the butt.
*** Who did you speak to at AOL?
*** How did you reach them? e-mail? phone #?
I also did a search and found another program called "Snappermail", which I might try, and see if it's any better than Chatteremail.

If you find anything out, please let me know here, ok? This is very bad for me.

Syncing Iphone with AOL mail

AOL Mail does not sync very well with my Iphone.
I can delete email at AOL, but it is still in my inbox on the Iphone?
Any ideas?

Hello, Welcome to discussions.
AOL on iPhone should be setup as an IMAP account. It seems like your account on the iPhone is acting like a POP account.
You want to ensure when you add an AOL account to Iphone you go to
-Settings - Mail,Contacts,Calendars- Add account - AOL Mail - Type in your info. And save. This will save the account as an IMAP account.
You may also wish to check your iPhone Software version and update if it has not been updated in awhile as there has been some mail improvements.
You can check your version by connecting to iTunes on the Summary screen or via Settings-General-about.

I cannot open a pdf file with aole-mail. I can open pdf files from windows explorer. I have associated pdf with adobe reader. My operating system is window

I cannot open a pdf file with aol e-mail. I went to preferences in Adobe Reader but did not know what to enter for Incoming IMAP and outgoing SMTP. I can open pdf files from windows explorer as I have associated .pdf files with adobe reader. My operating system is windows 7.
When I try to open the pdf file within aol e-mail I get a message: 'Your security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded'. I have not changed my security settings (Tools, Internet Options, security).

Bizarre activity with AOL Mail

Problem with AOL mail being recognized in sent mail using Apple Mail

Hi!
In Apple Mail, when I click on the Sent Mail icon, I see the two accounts that I use (one is a POP-gmail, and one is an IMAP-berkeley.edu), but not AOL mail. Its sent files go into this folder that is not included.
Also, AOL mail and calmail (the berkeley.edu mail) have these two icons under the inbox and the sent mail that are black circles with an @ sign in the middle, when clicked on they have several folders about contacts, sent mail... but it is very annoying to have them.
I would like for all sent mail to be included in the sent mail tab, and for these two @ sign tabs to be removed.
Thank you so much for the help!

also...
is there a way to constantly synchronize my gmail account to the gmail.com inbox... what i mean is: whenever I read a message sent to the gmail inbox on Apple Mail and delete that message, then when I sign on gmail.com the message is no longer there
This somehow happens with the calmail server, when I delete a message using Apple Mail the calmail message is gone when I log onto that website and check the inbox
Thanks so much for all of your help!

Apple mail having trouble with AOL mail

Set it all up fine. Mail comes in but sending is very erratic. Set up the correct imap server on the correct port with the correct authentication. First mail after setting up server goes fine but pretty much randomly mails fail to send with the error that the selcted smtp server cannot be used.
Is this a problem with Apple mail and AOL's propriatory lash up of IMAP mail? <Edited by Moderator>
Can't switch to another smtp server since too many internet filters block AOL mails not sent from the main aol smtp server.
cheers

Hi Andrew!
Are the settings posted below, what you are using?
-Account Type: IMAP
-Incoming Mail Server: imap.aol.com
-Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.aol.com:Your AOL Screenname Here
-Server Port: 587

Will not connect with AOL mail box

Get all the way to opening individual e-mails...get message that Firefox is being directed to site that will never connect. Also will not sign-out from AOL...wait & wait & wait

Also make sure that you aren't blocking the referrer.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/The_page_is_not_redirecting_properly
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Websites_report_cookies_are_disabled
You can inspect and manage permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:
*Click the "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar
*Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
*Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab
You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

MultiSync/OpenSync - any success stories?

I've successfully completed the example here, except for the KDE piece, and it was admittedly a nice low-level way of showing the basics. Not exactly what I had in mind, though - I want to sync Evolution with my N70 via Bluetooth.
I've built and installed the following (some of these are in community, but needed a rebuild following the large upgrade last week):
libopensync (community)
multisync (community)
libopensync-plugin-evolution2 (community)
libopensync-plugin-file (AUR)
libopensync-plugin-syncml-svn (PKGBUILD below)
libsyncml-svn (PKGBUILD below)
wbxml2 (PKGBUILD below)
I've set the SyncML side of things up as described here, and the Evolution side as described here. Both have failed so far, but it's the Evolution one that bothers me most - it's an actual release, whereas the SyncML code is still alpha.
So I've shelved that for the moment, and tried an Evolution-to-file sync, as per the second link in the paragraph above. This looked more promising, because connections were made to both sides, and I could see my Evolution addressbook entries going across, like this - but then it crashed, like this. I tried a SVN build of the evolution plugin, but it did the same.
So after two days of sporadic building and testing, I'm basically nowhere. I'm thinking of bumping Evolution and its deps up to the unstable versions here, in case that makes any difference.
Here are the PKGBUILDs for the non-repo stuff, if anyone's interested, or has any suggestions/experiences to add. These are probably OK, but I pefer not to put things in the AUR until I've got them working.

Help with aol mail

The battery drained completely on my Galaxy s3(i know now that I cannot let that happen). Before the battery went out completely I was getting my aol emails on a regular basis. Now i am not getting any aol emails. I do not know if there is some setting that needs to be changed to start getting my aol emails again. I have deleted and re entered the email account. I am still not quite sure what sync has to do with all this as I am very new to smartphones.
I also have a gmail account and am getting those emails.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Some phones have a powersave mode that may turn off auto-sync, background data, or other things that may affect the receiving of emails when the battery gets below a certain percentage. If this setting doesn't change back automatically, you will continue to not receive them. Check all your data settings and see if something may have gotten turned off.

Sent mail from iPhone does not sync with AOL mail

When I send mail from my iPhone, it does not appear in my AOL sent folder.

OK, I figured it out. I was thinking that when I would sync my iPhone that I would see the pics and videos I took under the iPhone photo and movie tab. Not the case......I had to locate my iPhone via my computer, then double click on my iPhone and drag and drop the pics and vids into a folder on my hardrive, then via iTunes I could sync that folder. Then sync my Apple TV!!
