Bouncing .mac mail off webmail

I'm using a company email address (@pillensfarm.com) as my main email but its linked to my .mac mail via a webmail service.
I've made no changes to my account and now mac mail is suddenly not being forwarded from the webmail service.
I'm receiving my mac mail when it's sent to @mac.com but when it's sent to @pillensfarm.com.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Do you want to access your .Mac account with an email client such as Outlook Express on this PC?
You can always access your .Mac account via webmail access using a browser instead of setting up and accessing the account with an email client such as Outlook Express.
If you want to access your .Mac account with an email client such as Outlook Express on this PC, select IMAP as the account type when creating the account.
Under User Information, enter your full name in the Name Field or whatever name you want to appear next to the email address when sending a message with the account.
Email Address: Self explanatory - enter your .Mac account email address.
Account Name: The portion of your .Mac account email address in front of the @ sign only.
Account Password: You should know.
Incoming Mail Server: mail.mac.com
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: smtp.mac.com
Under Outgoing Mail Server select, "My server requires authentication".
For Settings select, "Use same settings as my incoming mail server".
Under the Advanced tab for the account preferences under Server Port Numbers for the Outgoing mail (SMTP), enter 587 in place of 25 in the space provided.

Certain mail won't come in off the server to my Mac Mail

Certain emails won't come in to my Mac Mail off the Time Warner Servers. (TW is intotally unhelpful and say it's my Mac Mail settings, even though some of the senders have come in before with no problem. Newer people have a hard time getting through, even though, I put them in the address book of both the TW server, and in Mac Mail.
I also set a preference to "allow" them in both filters section And I'll hear a "ding" when mail arrives from this person, but while I can go see it on the TW server, it doesn't come into the Mac Mail.
It's like it's trying (the ding) but what happens to the message?
thanks for any info you can give.

thanks for your help... but I've deleted all my iPhone mail accounts and reentered them. The phone then proceeded to re-download all the messages from the server...except for the same ones it wouldn't before! I'm mystified. I called ATT and they didn't know what to do either. Time Warner doesn't know either.
I've got them in my address books as well...
Any more ideas?
thanks

Mac Mail, iPhone, Edge versus WiFi (Corporate Settings)

I have Mac mail set up fine on the iPhone it works O.K. on Edge at the usual AT&T speed, but I am seeing issues when trying to access the web and Mac Mail through my work's WiFi network.
They offer a "public access" (this is a hospital), that when you access WiFi with the web-browser it passes you by a couple of agreement pages (it's a securlogin.arubanetwork.com address). It warns that the speed is throttled down to 0.5 Mb/second, the session expires after 8 hours and access is restricted to HTTP and HTTPS protocols but you can use VPN to tunnel to your home network.
If I acess through WiFi (it asks for an e-mail address) using the web-browser, then web access to Mac Mail and to web-pages are ok, the WiFi triangle is 3-4 bars and the speed is "good". However if I do this work WiFi web-access through the browser and then turn-around and access the Mail app on the iPhone and Mac Mail off that, then the WiFi "triangle" drops right down to the bottom line and "Checking for Mail" goes on-and-on (both at the top of the screen and the footer of the screen) ultimately nothing appears to update. I've checked against Mac Mail via a PC and confirmed that there are changes, but they do not come over under this mode. If I switch WiFi off and then check mail using Edge, the changes come right on through.
I am guessing that the work WiFi is the stumbling block, that even using the Mail app on the iPhone it is trying to reverify that web-access. Anyone got any ideas of any settings that I could use on the iPhone that may allow my to get speedy access from Mail through this WiFi process asking for a verified logon? Thanks.

Malcolm Barnes,
If they are limiting access to just VPN, HTTP and HTTPS, then Mail.app won't be able to access the .Mac mailbox, but may try and retry a few different approaches to accessing the mailbox to work around that stumbling block. Working with just .5 MB, that could consume a good portion of your individually available bandwidth.
At that point, I suspect your network may start trying to block you, until you can make a new connection, because you are using ports that aren't allowed. (25, 143, 587 and/or 993).
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Mac Mail AT&T Pacbell Yahoo Probs

Hello, I've read and read and searched and seached. Having an issue with numerous requests for mail password and mail not sending or receiving most of the time. Not connecting to mail servers. I've not changed a thing abd have even set up a new mail account with mail assistant. The strange thing is if I leave mail open and connect to Yahoo via the internet and sign in to the Yahoo mail then all of a suddden Mac Mail with start working.....like it takes that maneuver to get Mac Mail to connect to the servers. My original Mac Mail was set up as POP and it worked great for years. When I set up a new account last night it set itself up as IMAP but both are having the same problem, One with the lightening bolt and the other with what looks like a lock.
My iPhone mail works with no problem and it usually gets the mail first. I've done everything I can think og with the exception of deleting the passwords in keychain. But I've checked them in Keychain and they are the right passwords. I'm thinking AT&T / Pacbell / Yahoo must be having some kind of server connection problem but it's getting irratating whatching the bouncing mac mail icon.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I'm running 10.8.2 OSX and Mac mail is 6.1
Thanks,
bgoodz

Well, tried all different types of settings recommended and still nothing until I sign in at Yahoo mail via the internet and then "send/receive" in mac mail and the server connection happens. Don't know why this is but once you make the connection to mail over the internet then mac mail works but if you don't connect over the internet then mac mail won't connect to the Yahoo/ ATT/ Pacbell servers.
This all started out of the blue recently and the only thing I can think of is the upgrade to ML and any new Mac updates recently done. It could be a sleep thing also as everything works until I check it the next morning after the system went to sleep and no mail server connection.

Hi, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I don't have .mac, nor would I, but several people have had problems recently, actually on and off for years, so it may pass, sometimes it's just a regeon or two having problems.
Also, are youaware they are switcing over to .me and cancelling .mac? That eems to be causing some problems now and then also.

Unable to access webmail in browser and Mac Mail

I am a Mac convert from PC and I love my Macbook Pro with Retina display that came with Mountal Lion. Until recently after my visit overseas, I am neither able to access my ISPs webmail through Safari or Firefox on my laptop nor through Mac Mail app with unchanged settings provided by Road Runner, such as webmail.kc.rr.com, apop-server.kc.rr.com/smtp-server.kc.rr.com/110/25. Safari is too slow and hangs with connection errors for webmail. My ISPs id is my business id I use as I travel overseas constantly. I spent several hours and had my spouse call in local tech support and it is a pain having to call your spouse to login and forward email to a public email. Any help is appreciated as my ISP has been anything but helpful in resolving this issue blaming the OS.

Thanks for your reply, Sig. I spent over three hours with my ISPs support tech, deleted and added my account, and even rebuild was of no avail. From Terminal, I am able to ping and I get an IP address but when I try connecting to webmail server, the browser returns an connection error, in Mac Mail I get the following message,
"Unable to receive Mail -
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “Road Runner” or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “pop-server.kc.rr.com” on port 110 timed out." The tech asked me to check with the local ISP who directed me to ask Road Runner to clear the block off SMTP port.
I have not used mail2web until now, but would give it a try if it resolves my issue. Thanks for your help and assistance.

MAC mail bouncing

Ever since the MAC mail went down 3 weeks ago, I have experienced problems:
A lot of incoming mail is bouncing.
And tonight, one of my accounts is having trouble sending mail. I keep getting the pop up window that says the server timed out. After 4 or 5 tries, it will finally send.

Downloading of emails via webmail, iPhone and Mac Mail

I currently access emails from my ISP via three avenues. I use webmail when I'm in the office, iPhone on the go and Mac Mail at home. However, I will end up seeing the same emails three times. Even after deleting unwanted emails from my webmail, they will still appear in iPhone and Mac Mail when I access emails and vice versa. Has this anything to do with the POP or IMAP settings? I have set my ISP email on iPhone and Mac Mail under POP. I have ever tried to change the POP to IMAP with same results.
Any advice? Thanks.

I am having the same issue.

Headers in mac mail, please can some one tell me how to get rid of it! and tell me what its all about?

Sounds like you're seeing the full e-mail headers in Mail, rather than just the From, Subject, Date and To lines like normal. Is this in every message or just one? If it's just one, select it and press command-shift-H, or choose View -> Message -> Default Headers.
Alternately, if you're seeing it in every message, go to Mail -> Preferences, click the Viewing icon and set the "Show header detail" pop-up to Default.

PDF Attachments Removed from Mac Mail, show up in .Mac webmail

I have two clients that receive autogenerated PDFs from our ColdFusion server to their .Mac mail account. They had no problems receiving these attachment PDFs with Tiger, this problem is new with the Leopard 10.5+ operating system.
These e-mails have a little bit of text, a logo inline and a PDF attachment. In .Mac Webmail I see the image, the PDF attachment and all is well and good, strangely enough.
In the Mac Mail (v3.1) I see the text, the image and NO PDF attachment (it only says there is ONE attachment (the inline JPG), when in fact there are TWO. It seems that the PDF is being completely stripped from the message when received from .Mac's server. If I send the user a PDF from my MS Outlook, or any other e-mail client, it's received fine.
Anyone have a similar issue, and have you found a fix? Or any ideas where I can troubleshoot from here?
I'm stumped.

The thread here discusses the same issue, and the Command Y hack worked for me. There's got to be a better way.

Trying to import one of six folders in my Earthlink WebMail to .Mac Mail

Earthlink WebMail has no process to export mail to .Mac Mail or any other email service. I'd like to import one of the six folders in my Earthlink email to .Mac Mail. I launched Apple's "Mail Help" and opened "Importing email into Mail" and followed the instructions clicking on "other" because Earthlink isn't listed. I got the prompt "You will now be asked for the location of a folder containing your mbox files." (I assume "mbox" means "mailbox.") I clicked "continue" and, in the Import window, selected the Earthlink folder in Applications on my MBP hard drive. Of the 16 folders and documents that appeared, nine were accessible (meaning the other seven were "gray." The nine are Anarchie 2.0.2, Capsules, Earthlink New Users Guide, Internet Config, Internet Explorer 5.1, Media, Microsoft Internet Applications, Stuffit Expander Folder, and Utlities.
Is any of those what I want? Suggestions on how to proceed?
If it helps, I am not set up through IMAP. My incoming mail server for Mail is mail.mac.com and outgoing is smtp.mac.com. I don't know if that's relevant.
Thank you.

Hi John,
No experience with this, and I don't think it's gouing to work, but I think Mail wants a new Mailbox under Mail>Mailbox, and point it to that Mailbox.
Some Webmail is really primitive, and you'll likely only get them to your machine by Forwarding them one by one to your .mac addy.

Forwarding Webmail to Mac Mail client

My university runs on a mail server called Webmail. I have the mail forwarding from webmail to my g-mail account on the generic Mac Mail client. I like this so I can get all my mail from school sent to my iPhone. However, my issue is that I would like to be able to send mail from the Mac mail client and have the sender be displayed as my webmail account instead of my gmail account. Is this possible?

Not sure how to delete, but I figured my own problem out
Sorry.

Mac mail bounce back when forwarded

Help! I use mac mail on my ibook to get mail from my go daddy server. Recently I cannot forward mail to one of my 3 accounts. when I try I get this message:
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at p3plsmtpa01-07.prod.phx3.secureserver.net.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<[email protected]>:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)
Go Daddy says it's a problem with mac mail. I can forward mail to this account ([email protected]) when I use their mail page.
I'm fairly computer illiterate and would appreciate any help offered.
thanks

Making a rule to simply move emails from an unwanted sender (with a real email address) to the trash, is no solution at all. The whole point is to Reject that person's email by bouncing it back to them, with the intention of showing them they have NOT reached a valid email address. The whole point is to STOP their behavior, not accept it. Your suggestion, that I have to allow the unwanted email to come in, for me to have to deal with it, trashing it or otherwise, sounds like the attitude of the spammers.
Let's not confuse the point here, Apple put the "bounce mail" feature in Mac mail for a reason, and I just want it to work again.
Bouncing email is not unique to Apple's Mail. There is a RFC specifying how bouncing should be handled. Thomas already explained why bouncing email is not a good idea. Here is the reason quoted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondeliveryreport.
"Today, however, most email is spam, which usually utilizes forged Return-Paths. It is then often impossible for the MTA to inform the originator, and sending a bounce to the forged Return-Path would hit an innocent third party. In addition, there are specific reasons why it is preferable to silently drop a message rather than reject it (let alone bounce it):
* Heuristically filtered spam. Spam filters are not perfect. Rejecting spam based on content filtering implies giving to spammers a test environment where they can try several alternatives until they find a content that passes the filter.
* Viruses and worms. Most times these are sent automatically from an infected machine. Since a bounce may contain a copy of the worm itself, it may contribute to its diffusion."
So using bounce is not a good idea, IMHO.

How do i leave a copy off sent emails on the server with mac mail

How do i leave a copy off sent emails on the server with mac mail.
Pop account

Check your mail preferences. The example below is from the mail app that comes with mac. In my case I'm using yahoo mail which is a POP3 account. POP stands for post office protocol which is the set of rules used by a POP mail account to transfer mail. You can learn more about it here if interested. If the box below is checked, all the mail will be downloaded to your computer when you check your mail using the built in mail app and removed from the mail server. Here is another page to help you set up your hotmail account for use the the mac mail application. Hope this clears things up.

Incoming MAC Mail Bouncing

Half of my incoming emails are bouncing.
When I send an email through my MAC account to his MAC account, it bounces back at me.
I've had MAC mail for 3 years and have been experiencing this since May.
What is going on?

A 452 error typically means:
"SMTP Error 452 : The ISP server’s disk system has run
out of storage space, so the action had to be cancelled.
Unless you are with an ISP which is so slack that they
have not implemented Disk Full Alerts, this error usually
indicates that your ISP’s mail server is overloaded from too
many messages. This can happen even to the best ISPs
when, for example, there have been problems and none of
the ISP’s customers could send mail; as soon as the
problems are fixed there is almost always a situation where
thousands of users and organizations are trying to send
mail all at the same time, and those numbers can
occasionally result in the ISP’s mail servers’ hard disks
temporarily filling up, with SMTP Error 452 being the result.
The next attempt to send by your server may prove
successful."
So if this continues, first check the status of .Mac or MobileMe on the Apple web site, and if there's no problem listed, or there's no resolution listed for this recent problem, call them and ask about it and when it's going to be resolved or how they can resolve it immediately.
