Apple mail not working with cox

it stopped working on the MBP and the ipad. Got it working working with Cox on the MBP (but) the ipad smtp authentication on the ipad does not have a selection of NONE which cox requires. Anybody solved this? My wife is having the same problem on her ipad. She has a new ipad mini and I have the old ipad one.
Thanks

You can't have no SMTP server, mail wouldn't work. You need to have something. If I recall correctly, I used to be in a Cox internet area up until a couple of years ago, you have to use their outgoing SMTP server. It's not very hard to do.
Setttings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Accounts (iCloud)>Account>Advanced(Mail)>Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)>Add Server>Put in host name (mail.cox.net, I believe) without user name or password.
That should work.

  • Apple Mail not working with IMAP account

    I have been using Entourage for my email with several IMAP email accounts. SOme of the accounts I was getting occasional errors so I thought I would try Apple Mail.
    I am able to successfully set up the accounts in Mail (i.e. it successfully logs into server) however it does not get any of the mail nor does it get any of the mail folders that are on the IMAP server (viewing email using Web Mail or even going back to Entourage shows the emails on the account). Are there any special (hidden) tricks that I need to do to get Mail to work with a standard IMAP mail server?

    I have a very similar problem. Apparently IMAP access is better than POP3. Well IMAP slows my Mac to a complete stop whereas POP3 is seamless. I deleted my POP3 mailboxes after successfully accessing my GMail accounts via IMAP, then it slowed down.
    I've deleted the IMAP accounts a few times, but each time a new account is created it forces me to accept IMAP with no option for POP3. The help file also contains no information on POP3.
    I get about 50 emails everyday and my usual point of email access has just become redundant, I must now rely on email via my browser and .
    I made this change because the iPhone does not sync downloaded emails with Apple Mail. In Mail on my Mac, the one GMail inbox I have setup says there are 11 unread which it eventually shows yet none appear unread. I'll have to rely on web-based email until this is resolved.
    Can anyone help with these IMAP access problems?

  • Apple Mail not working with Gmail IMAP

    This is a slight re-working of a post of 27 March as I am being driven nuts having to use web mail.
    I have used Mail with gMail for years. Last week I was abroad and I could only use the web interface as when I logged in from my MacBook via Mail the message pane was fine (and up to date though it did not open by default as usual) but if I opened any message all I got was 'Loading' followed by the spinning beach ball. I tried this for several days and always got the same result and assumed it was an (atypical) result of being abroad.
    When I got home I found I had exactly the same problem on my iMac which was fine before I left home and as with my MB I have to force quit to get out of Mail.
    I then when out and after a restart (not the first since the problem) that my MB was OK - but only briefly. My iMac is still stuffed as far as Mail is concerned.
    Mail itself does not seem completely broken, for instance I can look at Previous recipients, I can send from Mail and it arrives back (but then I can’t open it). I can drag messages to the Bin, but they don’t seem to stay there. Oddly I have sent a lot of mail from the gMail interface today, but none of them show up in Apple Mail, tho earlier days do.
    I do have a lot of messages in sent mail, nearly 6,000, and while I can understand it progressively slowing things down I don’t see that it would cause both machines to fail simultaneously and anyway I don’t want to delete them.
    Any ideas? There are no error messages, Connection Doctor shows me as logged in, and I have not found anything via a Google search or in their discussions.
    Cheers, Colin

    Opps, the * was an OCR error from the screen dump I did not notice.
    plus.net is my ISP, but I don't use them for mail normally but I suspect once-upon-a-time I may have had a problem connecting with gMail's SMTP server, so set that up.
    I'm actually running Mail 3 (I think the latest version for Leopard, incidentally gmail help is only up to v 2).
    Rather than delete the other servers I have set it to only use smtp.gmail, but it still hangs on opening a message pane. Oddly even tho I get the beech ball I can still open prefs.
    I can't help feeling the problem is with Mail itself (tho why on two machines at once is beyond me) as the normal behaviour is always to open with the Message pane, but it opens without a window; almost as soon as I open the Message pane it updates with gmail and deletes any message I have moved on the web side. So, only partly broken, but broken enough to be useless!
    Cheers, Colin

  • Apple tv not working with panosonic TH-50PX75U old.

    Apple tv not working with a 3-4 year old Panasonic TH50PX75U tv, works fine on all other tv's in the house. HDMI cables seem to be fine they work with the DVD and DVR. Ratio is set to auto, apple logo on screen when booting up then Goes away. Seen twice for a split,nano second the apple tv menu on screen. Then in upper left corner of tv a grey box appears with HDMI 2 appears. any help would be great... Thanks in advance, Tom

    I had a similar issue, without the actual error message. If you can't get it running at all, you will be forced to do what I, and many others have done over the past 24 hours. You can restore your Apple TV to factory settings (you will then have to enter your ID, passwords, etc., to connect everything again--sigh--) by obtianing a Micro-USB cable (found one today at Best Buy for 5 bucks, available other places that sell electronics, etc.) disconnect your Apple TV, and connect it via the micro usb cable (which attaches in the back of the ATV) to your computer, plug the ATV power cord into the wall and open iTUnes. You can click the Apple TV on the left side of iTunes and click restore--it will not take too long on a decent internet connection, and it will automatically install the software update (you have no choice on this, BTW, you can't go back to the previous software, as Apple only supplies the new software online (sadly).  Your ATV 3 should work and you can put it back to your TV and re-enter all your info and enjoy the new features. But if you are like me, you won't enjoy AirPlay, something seems to be wrong with that if you use an iPhone or iPad and have updated to IOS7--not sure which is the problem, or both, but be prepared for a little more frustration, but at least your ATV 3 will "work" mostly as it did before.
    I hope this helps, it is frustrating, but it is resolveable with a little bit of time--not that I'm happy about it, either.

  • Microsoft Mail not working with Windows 7 & MS-Office 2010

    Dear All
    I have a client who is using Microsoft Mail for their internal mailing. They have been using MSoffice ( Outlook) for this purpose for last so many years.
    We have found that Microsoft Mail does not work with Windows 7 and MS Office 2010 combination.
    When you try to configure it given error 0x8004110.
    When we tried with different versions, we found that if you install Office 2007 it works. If you try Office 2007 and then Office 2010 and remove Office 2007, it still work. But Then it is treated as 2 installations of Msoffice on the same computer.
    I need to know whether this is right from Licensing perspective.  We 'll be using single copy of office but it may seems as we have installed Office 2007 & office 2010 on same computer.
    --Shekhar

    We have found that Microsoft Mail does not work with Windows 7 and MS Office 2010 combination.
    When you try to configure it given error 0x8004110.
    Windows 7 is a supported operation system for Office 2010. At what exactly point will you get the specific error?
    Is that a Click-To-Run version of Office 2010? By default, for MSI-based version of Office, when you upgrade existing Office 2007 to Office 2010, the earlier version of Office will be removed:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/keep-earlier-versions-of-office-programs-when-installing-office-2010-HA102597134.aspx
    For licensing advice, as <Don> suggested above, you should contact your local Microsoft customer support or reseller.

  • Database Mail not working with SQL Server Agent

    I'm running SQL Server 2005 Standard edition 64 bit with SP2 on a 64 bit machine. 
    Database mail does not work with SQL Server Agent.  When I configure SQL Server Agent to use database mail the test email button is greyed out and inactive therefore I cannot send emails using operators or for jub success failure etc. 
    I've read that there was supposed to be a fix for this with SP1 but I have SP2 and still receive the same problem.  Please can somebody help as I do not wish to use SQL Mail as a work around due to this becomming redundant in future versions of SQL Server.
    Kind Regards

    The problems solved
    steps:
    1)we create a mail profile at at Managment->Database Mail ,of SQL Managment
    2)we set this account as "default" at Managment->Database Mail -> Configure Database Mail -> Manage profile security
    3)At tab "Alert System" of SQL Server Agent properties , we check the "Enable mail profile" , Mail System=Database Mail, Mail profile = "the profile we already create"
    4)we create a new operator at "Operators" of sql agent, where at "notification options" -> "Email name" we put the mail where we want to sent the agent the mails at failured job
    5)We go at a specific job, at tab "Notifications" ,we check the "email" check box and then we choose the operator we just create, at the text box next to check box.
    I hope not to forget something
    Thank You all for the help

  • Gmail smtp (outgoing) mail not working with apple mail 5

    Hi,
    I have a numbe of gmail accounts, I can receive mail through the new apple mail 5 client but can't send any at all.
    I've tried everything gmail help suggests but to no avail...
    Cheers,
    Alex

    Have you use the correct outgoing server - smtp.mail.me.com and SSL is required. I would suggest removing the account and starting again, following the instructions applicable to Leopard in this page:
    iCloud and Snow Leopard

  • Visual Voice Mail not working with Telcel

    I have 2 cell phones with Telcel in Mexico, one iPhone 4 (company) and an iPhone 5S (personal)
    On the company phone, Visual Voice mail works perfectly. But for almost a year I've been trying to get Telcel to fix it on my iPhone 5S with absolutely no success.
    They've reset my Voice Mail service on their end several times.
    They've told me I'm crazy and that the automated recording I get when pressing on Voice Mail is the correct service.
    They've told me they need to take my phone to a service lot and mess with it
    They've told me I need to fully reset the phone and delete everything on it for it to work
    One Rep even said that I needed the most expensive Premium VIP phone plan for it to work...
    It's amazing that the biggest carrier in Mexico has absolutely no training for their reps, or customer care and support technicians regarding iPhones, and scpecifically about this issue...
    About a month ago  the red indicator for new messages turned on, and I've done EVERYTHING and it still stays on, reset the phone, reset network settings, have the carrier reset the voice mail service, used a carrier provided app to reset the service myself (it does disable an enable), upgraded to iOS 8, setup as a new phone, still the same issue.
    Is there something Apple can do to enforce a minimum level of support from their business partners? If Visual Voice Mail did not work on my company phone... I would have no reason to complain, but its amazing that when I show both phones to the technicians with the different VM experience... they look at them like they are Moon Rocks, Asteroids, or a piece of God in my hands...  Frustrating not being able to get an answer from the carrier after almost a year...

    Well I guess we have to write in english although we are from mexico and speak spanish, so I have the very same problem but mine started not log ago when I upgraded to an iPhone 6 Plus, VVM worked fine then the red bubble appeared in the phone icon, I have gone several times and just like you say the reps know nothing, they have activated over and over, reset VVM, I have turned off and on my phone, actually it's 2 phones we have with the same problem.
    I just performed what pakoriv said and at least the red bubble went away but when i tap VVM it still calls *86 in both phones, the second one it's an upgrade from an LG phone so I understand if VMM does't work right away, but the first phone (or line) has been used with iphone since day 1.
    I'll let you know if pakoriv method causes another effect later on my phone.

  • Why is mail not working with gmail?

    And not for nothin', it doesn't seem to be working at all as it used to.
    Nearly every morning I come down and see the message that Mail has crashed... again.
    I am beginning to really, really regret installing Mavericks and wish I could go back... but now important documents have been upgraded to the new Pages and Keynote so I'm stuck.
    So... I'm discovering that my iPad and my MacAir are the only machines that will load my gmail. My iPhone won't and my iMac won't.
    I have no confidence that things are synching across all Apple products.
    I believe I have done all the updates.
    This is not the standard we have relied on in the past (and I've been an Apple person since the Apple II).
    Please help us...
    I probably wouldn't even be using Gmail if Apple had not discontinued iDisk forcing me to go somewhere else for cloud storage. Still mourning that move.
    RO

    Sorry -- the fact is that there doesn't seem to be any logic to what is happening -- or rather not happening.
    There are two issues and I don't know if they are related or not.
    GMAIL and MAIL:
    Works on my MacAir but NOT on my iMac. Both have OSX 10.9 with most recent updates.
    Works on my iPad with exactly the same account configuration as my iPhone... where it doesn't work.
    MAIL in general on my iMac:
    From day one with Mavericks, Mail refuses to remember my iCloud login information.
    It remembers my university's email config (@rwu.edu)
    Nothing shows up under Gmail at all but it doesn't give me the Lightning symbol to tell me there's a problem.
    Just about every morning I come back to my computer and there's an application crashed dialog box that tells me Mail unexpectedly quit and do I want to REOPEN. And when I do, I have to log in for my iCloud Mail to show up.
    I assume that crash reports are automatically going to Apple... I don't get the option to send it to you.
    Thanks in advance.
    Addendum: I hesitate to delete the Gmail account from anywhere in case the result is that I will lose my ability to read  Gmail on the two appliances where it is all working. That, and the fact that it is the end of the semester and I have 100 students emailing me everyday about last minute things and final exams. NOT the time to delete ANYTHING. But I might try next week...

  • Non Apple Apps not working with Not.Centre

    I've restored my iphone 4 twice now, each time I've started a new phone and gone through the set up on the phone. I've tested my mail app, messages app and reminders app and they work faultless with Not.Centre but when I downloaded Twitter Inc. from the app store and got an @ reply, I didn't get a notification. I've gone through all the settings, in both the Settings App and even within Twitter itself and have TURNED ON all notifications but still nothing.
    I'm not going to restore again, it's just a waste of time. Does anybody have a fix for this?
    Cheers.

    Hi Groovy32,
    So after the iOS update all Apple apps work fine but no non-Apple apps work?  I just updated my iPhone 6 Plus last night and haven't seen an issue so let's go further with troubleshooting as in
    If an app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open - Apple Support
    For example, check for App updates, try installing another app or deleting and reinstalling one that's not working.

  • Apple mail not syncing with hotmail e-mail on iPhone

    I just bought a MacBook Pro a couple days ago and before when I was using my PC my hotmail account on my PC would sync with my hotmail e-mail on my iPhone 4.  Since I setup my hotmail account in Apple Mail it is not syncing with my iPhone.  When I delete it on my Mac or show it as read, it still shows as unread on my iPhone.  This did not use to happen.  Can someone help me, so I can get my Mac and iPhone to sync my e-mails?
    And I cannot see all my Hotmail folders in Apple Mail.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply.
    The problem is that I've got many years of emails saved on my hotmail account and I've got other different email addresses set up to forward their emails to this account. Due to the nature of my work, I also regularly have to search back through my emails.
    It looks like my only option currently is to use an icloud account and have all of my other email accounts all forwarding emails to that instead. Unfortunately, this doesn't solve the problem of being able to search back through my emails, though.
    Does anyone know how the iphone manages to successfully connect with hotmail accounts (as though using IMAP). As I said, my iphone works absolutely perfectly and is fully synced with the hotmail server. I know it's something to do with 'microsoft exchange' but I really don't understand what this is and how it works.
    Thanks, Matt
