Authenticated RSS broken in Mail.app

Mac OS 10.5.6
Mail.app 3.5 (930.3)
regular RSS works fine.
Authenticated RSS from pbwiki works fine in Safari, but does NOT work in Mail.app
It seems to be generally unstable: sometimes it is able to authenticate and create a keychain entry (and then fails to retrieve the feed), other times it cannot even authenticate...
Any ideas?

Unfortunately RSS feeds do not synchronize. Hopefully Apple will add this in the future. It seems as though this would be fairly simple to include so I'm optimistic that it will eventually show up. Hopefully sooner rather than later!

  • Kerberos / GSSAPI authentication not working in Mail.app

    I am using Kerberos with a Debian server on which is running the MIT KDC, Cyrus imapd, and sendmail. I have been using Kerberos authentication with Mail.app in this environment for some time, under Tiger. I just upgraded to Leopard, and it no longer works. The problem is simple: the Mail.app IMAP conversation goes like this:
    OK sequoia Cyrus IMAP4 v2.1.18-IPv6-Debian-2.1.18-5.1 server ready
    1.11 CAPABILITY
    * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ MAILBOX-REFERRALS NAMESPACE UIDP LUS ID NOATOMICRENAME UNSELECT CHILDREN MULTIAPPEND SORT THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=GSSAPI AUTH=CRAM-MD5 AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 AUTH=NTLM ANNOTATEMORE
    1.11 OK Completed
    2.11 AUTHENTICATE GSSAPI
    +
    2.11 NO authentication failure
    Mail.app simply sends an empty GSSAPI message. This problem does not appear to be in the Kerberos libraries or endemic to Apple's apps in general, since Kerberos authentication still works in both SSH and WebDAV. This appears to be a Mail.app bug.

    Have you found any work around? I'm having exactly the same problem.
    As you say, kerberos in general seems okay -- not only does GSSAPI work fine for other programs, it even works correctly for ThunderBird running under 10.5. Meanwhile Mail.app doesn't even try to fetch service tickets, nor does it use them if something else already has.
    I've tried everything I can think of -- using the real A/PTR hostname instead of the CNAME, adding a user with a principal name that matches my username, hard-coding kerberos settings into the config file rather than relying on DNS -- but nothing makes Mail.app even try to use GSSAPI for IMAP or SMTP.

  • Outgoing Email: Fine on iPhone - Broken in Mail.app (Same IP)

    Hi All,
    Within the last 48 hours I've been unable to send outgoing email from Mail.app. It works fine from my iPhone - same IP, same network. What gives?
    Thanks!
    Jon

    Now it's working? I'll keep the post going for a little bit, but I (hope) it's solved itself.

  • Is there a way to get out of using RSS in mail.app and go back to Safari?

    Hello,
    I am a big RSS user and have a pretty huge and unwieldy subscription list. When Leopard shipped, I started using mail.app to read my RSS. I went so far as to delete all of my subscriptions from Safari and rely entirely on mail.app.
    As some of you may have noticed from other threads in this forum, RSS in mail.app seems to be not ready for primetime. Specifically, if I leave mail.app open for more than about an hour, the RSS feeds stop updating entirely or update sporadically. It is at this time when I will also invariably find a Database.sqlite3 file in my trash can (which prevents the trash can from being emptied, too).
    If I restart mail.app, the feeds start updating again BUT INCLUDE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF OLD ITEMS. This happens every time I restart mail.app now. I have read all of the other threads that suggest that perhaps dot mac bookmark synching is to blame. This cannot be in my case since I have it all turned off and am not a dot mac member. I have no plugins installed in mail.app or safari.
    I have come to the conclusion that RSS in mail.app is too buggy and unreliable to be used and I would like to go back to Safari. The trouble is that when Leopard shipped, the idea of RSS in mail.app made perfect sense to me and I got so enthusiastic and "there's no going back" that I deleted my enormous amount of RSS subscriptions in Safari. Is there anyway to export my RSS subscriptions from mail.app so that I can import them into Safari? I REALLY don't want to try and add them again one by one.

    here is a link to macosxhints.com that tells you how to output all of your feed URLs to a terminal window. from there you can cut and paste them into your new feed reader of choice...
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080319094830396
    and if you are in the marked for a new reader may i suggest David Watanabe's excellent NewsFire. he had just recently made it totally free as a gift to the macintosh community.
    best of luck.

  • RSS Feeds do not work correctly in Mail.app

    I have already filed a bug report about this problem. I have added RSS Feeds in Mail.app by importing them from Safari. The feeds were added to Mail. There are two problems though:
    * The Feeds do not get updated every 30 minutes, as configured
    * The RSS Folder in Mail disappears after a while! Only restaring Mail solves the issue (temporarily)

    Same here, tried selecting all feeds and ctrl+clicking to "Update All RSS Feeds" as well as "Get New Mail > RSS", neither works.

  • Problem adding RSS feeds in Mail

    After upgrading to SL, I'm having some issues with adding new RSS feeds in Mail.app. Some of the feeds are being added without any problem (e.g. http://rss.support.apple.com/macos) while others can't be added (e.g. http://images.apple.com/main/rss/hotnews/hotnews.rss): when I click "Subscribe in Mail" in Safari, the Mail.app window gains focus but no other (visible) action is performed; when I try to add this new feed directly in Mail.app, there's no reaction after the "Add RSS Feed" popup window is dismissed.
    I've seen a lot of issues related to Mail.app in SL in this forum but I haven't found anything similar to this problem. Any hints on debugging/solving this issue?
    TIA for any answers.

    OK, I now resolved this issue. I removed the ~/Library/Mail/Envelope Index file, re-run Mail.app and after that I'm able to add all my feeds back to mail. I haven't tried that before so I'm not sure if it's a matter of the 10.6.1 update or just a solution to this issue.

  • Certificate based authentication for Exchange ActiveSync in Windows 8.* Mail app

    I have a Surface Pro and want to setup access to my company's Exchange server that accepts only Exchange ActiveSync certificate-based authentication.
    I've installed server certificates to trusted pool and my certificate as personal.
    Then I can connect thru Internet Explorer, but this is not comfortable to use.
    I don't have a password because of security politics of our company. When I'm setting up this account on my Android phone I'm using any digit for password and it works perfectly.
    Can someone help to setup Windows 8 metro-style Mail application? Does it supports this type of auth? When I'm trying to add account with type Outlook, entering server name, domain name, username, 1 as a password then I've got a message like "Can't
    connect. Check your settings."
    Is there any plans to implement this feature?

    For what it's worth we have CBA working with Windows 8.1 Pro.  In our case we have a MobileIron Sentry server acting as an ActiveSync reverse-proxy, so it verifies the client cert then uses Kerberos Constrained Delegation back to the Exchange CAS, however
    it should work exactly the same to the Exchange server directly.  I just used the CA to issue a User Certificate, exported the cert, private key and root CA cert, copied to the WinPro8.1 device and into the Personal Store.  Configured the Mail app
    to point at the ActiveSync gateway, Mail asked if I would like to allow it access the certificate (it chose it automatically) and mail synced down immediately...
    So it definitely works with Windows Pro 8.1.

  • Every time I launch Mail.app my server gets STMP authentication error

    From my server STMP log file:
    2015-02-23 15:48:57 plain authenticator failed for 77-173-xxx-xxx.ip.telfort.nl (mbp.home) [77.173.xxx.xxx]: 535 Incorrect authentication data (set_id=username)
    For some reason Mail.app tries to connect to the STMP server but doesn't properly authenticate. It does seem to set the username but not a valid password so the log files on my SMTP server are filled with these errors. Even worse brute force detection automatically blocks the ip address in the firewall because of this after 10 attempts. It's not just me, many other customers that use a mac have the same problem (I notice this because they call me for not being able to connect because of the blacklisting by the brute force scanner)
    How can I fix this? Why does Mail.app try to connect without proper authentication?

    No. You said to Change the authentication setting for the account on the client to one that the server supports. But I already have that. Sending mail works just fine, but for some reason Mail.app still causes authentication errors on launch and periodically about every 10 minutes

  • Mail app constantly freaking out.  SMTP now broken

    The mail app on my late 2010 iMac has been acting weird for quite some time.  I tried erasing everything and restarting but the mail app still had some data in it somehow.  I would love a link to information on how to start completely fresh in only Mail without starting the whoel system fresh.
    In lieu of this I would love any suggestions on how I might try and fix mail.  It seems to constantly lose messages from mailboxes and I can't find them until I end up rebuilding the mailbox.  Also it is currently telling me that it can't send messages because
    The server “mail.mydomain.com” cannot be contacted on the default ports.
    Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
    Sending from: James Barnett <[email protected]>
    It is asking me to select another server but it is listing each one as (offline).  I already went and check the smtp connections authentications and they appear to be fine, I don't know why they are offline.
    If I go to webmail for my domain it works and I've sent an email from the web interface, so it leads me to believe it is mail app.
    Thanks in advance for any help,

    Chris,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    I think you may have been unlucky with the support rep you got. Comcast is one of the few ISP, that I know of, who provide one SMTP to use when at home, and another when traveling. They even have an advisory page about how to handle this in Apple's Mail program -- see:
    http://www.comcast.com/Support/Corp1/FAQ/Faq22400.html
    The one for home use (which would be where you have cable), requires authentication of None. When where SBC is the ISP, then needs authentication.
    Please let us know if this allows you to resolve this problem.

  • Unable to open RSS Feeds in Safari, I am forced to use the Mail app.

    Unable to open RSS Feeds in Safari, I am forced to use the Mail app.
    Since I have Safari 6.0 (OS X Lion 10.7.4 on MacBook Pro bought this year)  I am being forced to use the Mail app in order to open RSS Feeds, but I do not want to use the Mail app.
    Does someone please has a solution for me? People form Apple, are you reading this? It is annoying me.
    Greetings

    Firefox doesn't show how many unread items there are in a feed, but Safari 5.x did.  I guess I have no reason to use Safari anymore.

  • Mail app broken

    My mail app has been broken ever since I upgraded from 1.1.4 to 2.0.
    I just updated it this afternoon, and I already tried fully resetting all my settings/other.
    How do I get my mail app to work again?

    I have just done a clean restore and install on my touch and the Mail application crashes every time I try to use it. I have tried deleting an account and it does not do so.

  • Mail App and RSS and Snow Leopard

    How do I add an RSS feed to my Snow Leopard Mail app?

    I have done that and it does not seem to work. I have even replicated this on another MacBook with Snow Leopard. I don't think this is a problem with the ASA because it was working fine before. I think there is something wrong with Snow Leopard since I have tried multiple VPN clients and even the built in SL Cisco VPN client.

  • My Mail app is broken

    HELP! I've lost access to my email. When I launch Mail, this message comes up...
    Clicking either option doesn't work. When I relaunch, I just get this message again.
    I was thinking that I restore a previous version from a couple days ago via Time Machine, but I'm not sure just what I'd need to retieve... the Mail app? the mailboxes (wherever they are)? the whole system folder?
    I have a huge collection of boxes and messages and want to be sure to restore all of them.
    Where do I start?
    ...Charles

    ooops... I was hoping that my screen shot of the error msg would appear when I posted this problem. It reads...
    There is a problem with your mailboxes.
    Try clicking Quit and opening Mail again. If this message reappears, click Quit and Rebuild index. The next time you open Mail, it will import your messages.
    Quit   Quit and Rebuild Index
    Neither of these options works. I just keep getting the same message every time.

  • Sierra wireless cell modem = broken mail.app and safari

    Hi Folks,
    I had to use my sierra wireless cellular modem to connect to the Internet today and noticed that Mail.app and Safari both refused to connect while everything else (telnet google.com 80, lynx, firefox) all seemed to work fine. When I hook in via ethernet cable or wifi access safari and mail.app work again. Anyone have any ideas?
    thanks

    Well, a couple of diffs between Safari & Firefox may help you find the problem...
    Safari uses DNS & Proxy settings from the OS's CP settings, Firefox uses it's own.
