Apple Mail The server error encountered was: The connection to the server "

I have had my apple mail set up for some time now, through Gmail, and it has worked fine. I recently moved into a college dorm and now my apple mail gives me this error message
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "POP Account" or try again.
The server error encountered was: The connection to the server "pop.gmail.com" on port 995 timed out.
I've tried everything I could think to try, including taking the SSL off, restarting, quitting apple mail, redoing all the settings, and nothing seems to be helping me connect. I did the connectivity test and it says it's connected to the internet, it's just not getting the mail from my Gmail account. Thanks,
Aaron

What are the settings for both your Incoming and Outgoing servers, including port number, authentication method, and whether or not SSL is enabled for both?
Also, it's possible your college is blocking traffiic from Google, so you might try changing the DNS Servers by going to System Preferences > Network > Configure > TCP/IP and enter these two:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
then click Apply Now, quit System Preferences and restart Mail and any other Internet applications you were running. Check to see if Mail still gives you problems.

The server error encountered was: your IMAP server appears to be temporaril

The server error encountered was: your IMAP server appears to be temporarily out of service
on one mac account but not the other why?

k finally my account is receiving mail. But it was out of service for over 15 hours. And on only one of my .mac email accounts don't know how or why. Yet I even deleted my account from my mail and re-entered it but that didn't help, only time did. So strange and discerning for a paid mail account service. Great when it works. But it might be nice to have an auto forward feature for when the accounts go down so that emails may still be sent and received at one of my free email providers that has not ever had any issues. Good luck

Using Firefox 4 & Windows 7. Everytime I start Firefox from a shortcut to a website it comes up with the following error 'there was a problem sending the command to the program'. The requested website does load after this. with no problems.

If a shortcut is used while Firefox is already open the error does not occur.

As reported in earlier replies, the annoyance disappeared after I upgraded to Roboform 7.5.6, from 7.5.4.

Apple TV is working and set up. All I have done is take a vacation and one time I did hook up Macbook to a HDTV. Now I get home and this is the error I get.
An error occurred (-6722) while connecting to the AirPlay device “Family Room Apple TV”

Router is OK, I did check my security settings and I did turn on the firewall, while overseas, I turned it off and it works.

How do you fix the following error "itunes could not connect to the itunes store. an unknown error occurred 11556"?

I've tried the Advanced troubleshooting and eliminated the following "probable causes": Internet connection and Firewall. Any ideas?

Error 11556:
This alert occurs when iTunes is trying to do something not allowed by the iTunes Store in that country.
The most common example of this is iPhone ringtone creation in a country other than the U.S. or trying to sign in while limited to iTunes U by Parental Controls.
If trying to create ringtones outside iTunes Store (U.S.), either switch to the iTunes Store (U.S.) and use an iTunes Store account for the U.S. or access the iTunes Store on an iPhone using iOS 3.1 or later to buy ringtones.

Server Error Encountered

Mail is showing an error on one of our email accounts. The error is "The server error encountered was: unable to process from lines (envelopes), change recognition modes or check for corrupted mail drop." In Mail, we have two different email accounts, but only was has this error come up. I have checked the settings and they have not changed. I contacted the person who runs the email server and he says there is no problem at his end. I have tried to add a new email account but it also comes up with the same error. What can I try? Any help is appreciated.

Getting Error when trying to connect to the Primavera database. PPM V7 SP3

Hi Guys,
Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'mailService' defined in class path resource [com/primavera/bre//com/primavera/bre/integration/intgconf.xml]: Invalid destruction signature; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.support.BeanDefinitionValidationException: Couldn't find a destroy method named 'destroy' on bean with name 'mailService'
I have looked into the intgserver.jar under P6IntegrationAPI/lib and looked the com.primavera.infr.srvcs.MailServiceImpl.java and can see that there is no destroy method whereas it is defined in the com.primavera.bre.intergration.intgconf.xml as below

Trying to setup new iCloud in system preferences and get error message: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server."

Here's the sequence of events:
Setting up a new iMac.
Migration Assistant was aborted during setup and a normal setup was completed.
Then ran Migration Assistant from the newly setup account.
It ran fine, but put all the data in a new account called "user".
Renamed "user" to a new name, renamed the home folder to a new name following these instructions: OS X: How to change your account name or home directory name
Delete the account we originally created, so just have one account with the name we want and all the data, email. Works fine.
Sign into the App Store with the account we share for purchases.
Now, the problem:
Go to System Preferences to setup iCloud with a new Apple ID
Get this error: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server."
So I'm unable to setup iCloud for photo stream, FaceTime, etc.
Internet works fine, we can get mail, etc.
Rebooting doesn't help
Ideas?

never mind the problem is gone this morning.

TS3988 I can't sign in to iCloud, message pops up stating that "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server". How do I sign in to iCloud now?

Was using iCloud just fine on Mac and iPad and suddenly can't access it from either devices.
When reviewing the settings on iPad a "verification failed, could not communicate with the server" message pops up.
When trying to access iCloud account on icloud.com a "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server" message pops up.
Meanwhile iCloud no longer works on both devices. (Apple ID works fine on Manage my Account)
I don't remember changing any iCloud settings but I was working on email account settings when this happened....Any ideas??

I have the same problem. This happens multiple times a day. I answer some questions and then unlock my account and then before long it all happens again. Extremely frustrating as I don't have a clue how to solve the problem.

On my Mac Mini, I keep getting this error message: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server". I don't have any problems with iCloud on my laptop / PC. It works fine... Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Your Mac must be on Lion (10.7) to run iCloud. Apple had to change the operating system to fully support it. Nevertheless, it is possible to get emails from iCloud without having Lion. Please tell me if this interests you.
Anyways, here is the link to buy Lion (30 dollars, totally worth the upgrade ): http://itunes.apple.com/be/app/os-x-lion/id444303913?mt=12

Connection Error iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server

Hi iCloud users
For the first time I have experienced errors while attempting to connect to iCloud via my PC. Never had any problems previously.
The first error I received was:
     "Connection Error - iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server"
After a few attempts I was able to connect to iCloud. However I was unable to access my Calendar and Contacts. I received the following error messages:
     "Can't load Calendar - There was a problem loading the application"
     "Can't load Contacts - There was a problem loading the application"
Has anyone out there experienced this? If so could you offer an solutions/suggestions? Is iCloud not working properly today?
Many thanks & cheers,
Sue

My iMac 27 inch ( Mid 2011) running OSX 10.9.4. Suddenly i have this problem "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server"

You might want to just give it some time as there are a number of iCloud system issues effecting some users right now (see http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/).
