Bunch of brand new mail problems

Mail has worked great from day 1 (6/29) until two days ago. I have been getting a fairly constant progress indicator at the bottom of the screen "Sending x of 24" while the iPhone apparently is sending something. When it completes, it signals with the sent mail sound and then at some point may start "Sending x of 17" and the process starts again. I am also getting regular, but not constant, error messages about SMTP server failures with my .Mac account, Earthlink account, and corporate IMAP account. Yet, I had nothing in my Outbox and nothing new has shown up in any of the Sent Mail folders.
I turned on Airplane Mode to stop the apparent SMTP connections, but the "Sending x of y" indicator continues at the bottom with the little activity indicator next to the airplane icon spinning happily away. When it is done sending, again the sent mail sound plays. Is it really still connected in airplane mode?
I have power cycled the phone and while in airplane mode decided to try sending two emails through my Earthlink account. The first one was entered but never showed up in the Outbox and not in my account to which I sent it. Message two is still there and the Outbox reads as (-6) messages! Going to the Inbox now states 4294967290 Unsent Messages. Obviously an unsigned long is being used to keep track of the outbox message count.
So, I just turned off airplane mode and received two copies of each of the test messages I sent. And the "Sending x of 16" is now active again with only 4294967288 Unsent Messages.
The recent update was applied.

It sure sounds like something funny is going on. I have come to believe that the mail account configuration is susceptible to some sort of corruption. There have been too many examples of "weird" behavior that is fixed when the accounts are deleted and recreated.
I would recommend deleting your mail accounts and recreating them, and see if the problem persists.

Brand new Mac user with a brand new Mac problem!

Hi Everyone --
I am a brand new Mac user... I've only had my MacBook Pro 13" for three days. My Mac has been continuously freezing while I use it. When it freezes I only have safari running so I know its not from application "overload". Once frozen, I cannot move the mouse, "esc" or use any commands. Essentially my only option is to force it to shut down by holding the power buttong down. Please let me know if anyone has any idea how to fix this! With school coming up I cannot afford for my computer to be freezing every 20 minutes!
Thanks in advance.
-Rachel

Well... I'd still take it back - let them know that you received it as a gift three days ago. They may still replace it for you or they may take it in for repair. Just be nice and explain that you don't expect a new MBP to function as it is (or malfunction) and let them, at least, run diagnostics on it. As it's so new, there may be something simple that they can fix as you wait. Did your boyfriend already register the machine with Apple or did you? They may take the registration date into account...
But I'd take it to the Apple Store, regardless...

Upgrading to new mail problem

I finally got around to doing this. I clicked the link on the e-mail to my primary account all went well and I got into the new mail once I clicked the continue button.
When I tried this on my second account I just get a blank screen and the url is
https://bt.edit.client.yahoo.com/bt/tier_change_trap
It is very important for me to be able to access this account.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Jonathan

See this link which shows you how to "upgrade" to the new email.

New mail problem using mail 3.5

I am trying to set up mail 3.5 using OSX 10.5.6 and encountering a problem completing the new account set up. I have Microsoft Entourage for the Mac installed for this account and it works fine but I want to switch to Mail 3.5 for simplicity.
Using these same account setting in Mail 3.5 won't work. The setup wizard or guide fails trying to establish contact with the pop server but everything is identical on both mail programs. if SSL is checked, nothing happens when I click on the get mail icon. If I enable SSL (it is not enable in Entourage) I constantly get a message that the server rejected the password.
So again, with all settings identical to what works in Entourage, Mail 3.5 will not allow me to receive mail. Entourage is not running or minimized when attempting to run Mail 3.5
Can someone please assist as to why mail 3.5 will not work with the same settings as Entourage???
Thanks

Same Problem here
IWORKS 09 pages, keynote, numbers does not send in MAIL (mac) because of "This message was blocked because its content presents a potentialsecurity issue"
its a problem not only on GMAIL but also Live, Hotmail, Yahoo, and other services...
The problem is that gmail and others haved yet accepted the latest iworks 09 files. its a problem that apple can ask then to fix but its up to the gmail and others to fix it.
Solution!!!:
1 - Send it by exporting to office files
2 - Saving the files as old iwork documents
3 - Command P and save as PDF
4 - Save in icloud and send the URL
So you can still send them but have to take a bit more of your time
i hope you understand my english is not optimal
And if you have any questions feel free to ask me

Brand new fan problem on an old machine

My iMac G5 is a year old and when I got it, many people were talking about how noisy the fan was. I've been lucky for a year that mine has been absolutely silent. The only time the fans ran was when booting off a CD-ROM or when it reached 90 degrees in my office.
Now, for no apparent reason, the fan starts up after the computer has been on for a while. I am not using the CD drive at all, I'm not running any programs other than IM, mail, and browser (as usual), and it's not hot in here. If I shut down for a while and then start up again, it's quiet for an hour or so and then the fan starts.
Is this normal wear and tear? Does something need to be replaced? Any info would be appreciated.

Hello Magrite,
I have just picked up my Imac (first generation) from the certified Apple repair center and was very disappointed when the fan noise I had brought her in for seemed worse. The replaced the CPU fans and nothing changed. The computer still has a loud buzzing sound that is very aggravating. I have had this problem since I received my IMac but finally got fedup. So it would appear that I have to send her back so that they can keep testing her out.
If they find the cause I will relay the message.
Best of luck
Stephanie

Ipad2 and mobile me not working- Brand new - Mail Not Appearing at all

Not been able to sync mobile me contacts - Mail does not show up on the account screen andgeerally floating around in limbo. Been on the phone with support for 2 hours and at the genius bar - What's going on Apple??
Why can I not sync my Ipad 2 that I opened last night with mobile me???

It's a possible workaround for a problem I was having, you clearly don't have mobileme, and so probably didn't try the fix I suggested. . .
I hope this helps someone. I'm sure it will.
What free / cheap alternative allows fool proof screen sharing and remote login, syncs my bookmarks, addressbook, & mail accross 2 laptops, 2 towers and my phone? offering online viewing for each as well offering off site backup for personal data / and remote hosting of files with public download access (for clients).
All in one simple package....
I'm curious as my account is up for renewal in a month...
Thanks

New MAIL Problem

Well I am in the wondefull world of Leopard now and, when I go to start up mail, I put in my Name and Email I wanted to use, and used the Auto feature so it does everything for you, Thought that was pretty cool, So I get a Window that comes up and say's:
"Mail Cant Verify The Identity Of " Pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com " The certificate for this server is inavalid. You might be connecting to a Server that is pretending to be " Pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com " which could put your confidential information at risk. Would you like to connect to the server anyway ?
So it all comes down to, I never had this problem with TIGER, worked just fine on there, but now I get this thing that comes up, if I click show Certificate, and click on TRUST, and then change it to Always Trust, and I dont know if it's workin the right way now ?? If anyone else has or had this problem, would apreciate the help in making it work like it did in TIGER.
Here is a Screen Shot of what comes up ---->

I never encountered a certificate issue, but I had a similar situation when using mail's auto setup feature. Mail tried to connect me to smtp.verizon.yahoo.com, but it never worked. I found that the yahoo portion of the server name was innacurate. In my case it wanted to connect to smtp.verizon.yahoo.com when i needed to connect to simply smtp.verizon.com
Perhaps if you take out the yahoo, and try connecting to pop.sbcglobal.com you might have better luck.
Hope this helps.

A new MAIL problem

I receive emails fine.
A few months ago, I noticed that within a received Mail email, that when I clicked on a link, that it no longer takes me to the link.
Strange.
Any suggetions? I can't find where the setting is.

All are underlined, that is not the problem.
When I clicked on a hyperlink it used to take me to the website in Firefox, but no longer does...
Is it a Mail setting or a Firefox setting?
It must be a simple setting that I can't find, that i must have changed perhaps by accident.

Brand new earphones problem

Got a new pair of earphones in the mail along with the iphone 5s a few weeks ago... and I accidentally left them in a shirt pocket and did laundry
The right earphone no longer plays sound and the bass is completely gone. I have not tried the mic yet but I am certain there is damage on that as well. I do not have the receipt for my 5s purchase. Is there anything I can do? I love these earphones... they are the perfect snug fit and synergized so well with my 5s

try the headset in a computer or any other type of device that has a 3.5mm minijack connector
and or try another headset which has a 3.5mm minijack connector in the phone
3.5mm minijack connector has been a std for headset connectors since the 1980's so it's pretty common

i used to for the first time the other day and the screen completely broke, the ipod it self works but you can not see anything. This is especially weird because i never droped it once and it is in excellent condition. i am going to send it back but i heard that this had happened to other people before and i was wondering if it had happened to anyone else.

None that I have seen posted in last 2 months. Use the search feature on this site and check for "Broken Screens".

Slide up from the bottom of your display to access the control panel.
Look for the button (should be at the top) that shows a crescent moon.
Tap that button. It should say "Do not Disturb: Off".
Then try it out and let us know if it worked.

In the SETTINGS page, when i press MAIL,CONTACT , CALENDARS the page back to the initial page and do not open the page requested..
Any ideas?

A reboot should be enough to make it work.
Just restart your computer.
Otherwise, make sure you're an administrator - as if you're not, it could be that the administrator put a restiction.

I have a similar problem: I switched from mac mail to Outlook 2011 as the default client, and want to switch back. Mailto links (eg from browser etc) default to Mail. However, when I try to email a Word document as an attachment, it continues to open Outlook. Outlook has a button in its prefs for making it the default client, but I don't see a way to turn this pref off in either Outlook or in Word.
