Can no longer send or receive email from any account after Security Update

Hello,
I have a problem with my email in Mail. I let software update install the latest security update (007) a few days ago. I have not been able to send or receive my email since the update. I have several accounts and use Mail as my client for all. This includes my mac.com account, 3 att.net accounts and my website email. All give me the same error which is an SSL thing and has something to do with the certificates. I am able to receive email if I turn SSL off on the ATT accounts but not the mac.com (and if I try to collect my email with SSL off I get an angry message from ATT warning me I am not allowed to do so) and I cannot send any at all from any account.
The error message reads "unable to connect- there may be a problem with the mail server or network.... The server error encountered was: Mail was unable to verify the identity of this server, which has a certificated issued to "mail.mac.com". The error was: An SSL error occured while trying to read data from the server. Verify this server supports SSL and that your account settings are correct". It then states that the certificate could not be verified.
The certificate date on the mac.com account reads May, 29th , 2010.
I also have an iMac and a MacBook Pro which are also running Tiger. I have not and will not run the security update on these machines until I find out why it has messed up my email on the G5. I can still send and receive email with the exact same account settings on the MacBook so I know it is not the settings but something to do with the Security Update.
Has anyone else had trouble with this update? Any advice?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
I don't know if this is a corrupted preference file or not, but it sure can't hurt to try this.
If Mail is open, Quit Mail.
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Drag that .plist file to the Desktop. Launch Mail and see if you can send or receive e-mail. If you can, that .plist file is corrupted. Drag it to the trash, empty the trash and reboot. Your Mac will create a new preference file for you the next time you launch Mail.
Also... run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. Disk Utility is in your Applications/Utilities folder. Launch DU, select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.

Can't send or receive email from one account

Just bought the iPod Touch last week. Set up Hotmail account with no problems. However my MacDialup.com account (used to be dial up, but is DSL now) won't work at all. They aren't set up to use SSL, so I turned that off after the iPod automatically tried it. I tried IMAP and POP, tried changing incoming server port number from defalt 143 to 110, triple checked spelling on every single entry including password. Tried calling my ISP tech support and talked to a tech who owns an iPhone and lives in the bay area, but he couldn't figure it out. I tried deleting the MacDialup account then syncing the Touch to my iTunes on my MacBook Pro (which has no problem sending or receiving email from this same account) and had the email settings imported from the MacBook Pro - still no luck. Tomorrow I'll try bringing both my MacBook Pro and iPod Touch into the Genious Bar. Maybe they can figure it out.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Help with ATT email setup. Was working fantastic but can no longer send or receive email.

I have been having problems with sending and receiving emails on both my macbook and my Ipad using my att.net email for over a month. I didn't change any of the original settings when that happened but after trying to fix it after scouring the internet for help I have my settings like this on my Ipad. Actually I have two separate ones trying to get either to work.
First one: Yahoo!
Outgoing mail server - SMTP Yahoo!SMPT Server
under advanced Primary serve - Yahoo! SMTP Server On
I can't find anyplace else to change the settings.
If I am missing a place to go, please explain exactly how I find it.
Second one:"my user name"@att.net
Imap Account info
Host Name Inbound.att.net
Username: "[email protected]"
Passsword ***********
Outgoing mail server
SMTP outbound.att.net
under the advanced
Use SSL on
Autentification PW
IMAP Path Prefix /
Server Port 993
I think it is imap although I have used pop, also. The error message i get is:
SMPT:"email address"@[email protected] is not correct.
I don't know where it is drawing that from. I'm willing to eliminate all ATT associated accounds on my ipad and begin again if someone can help me get it set up correctly. I have all these mac products so i can seemlessly work on all my devices. Right now, I'm not a happy camper.
I am having similar problems with my MacBook Pro so if there is someone outthere that is using ATT as their email address and using it successful on their Apple devices, I would sure appreciate any help I can get. BTW, ATT help line is useless on this.
Thank you!

Can not receive emails from any accounts rather than Rogers(my ISP)

Hi all,
I have OCS10g installed on RHEL_AS4. Currently I got problem to receive and send emails both inbound and outbound.
When I send e-mail by either Oracle Web Access Client or Oracle Mail. It went smooth through the sending page. Unfortunately I can not get the e-mails neither from inbound or outbound domains, except [email protected]. Rogers is my current ISP and I am using the TZO dynamicIP service for the OCS server.
The configuration for smtp_inbound_server are as following. Has anyone known the solution of my problem?
Thanks,

OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages

After upgrading to iOS7, I can no longer send or receive texts that aren't iMessages.

As the title indicates: After upgrading to iOS7, I can no longer send or receive texts that aren't iMessages.
The text conversations are still there; you can see that I used to be able to text anyone. But now I cannot.
I have followed several different fixes suggested in these forums, I have Restored my phone, I have Reset Network Settings, I have Reset All Settings, I have checked settings on several friend's phones. But I still cannot send or receive texts that are not iMessage texts.
This seems like a pretty big deal. People text more than they call. And I now have a phone that cannot text very many people.
It is so frustrating. I have spent so much time trying to get it to work.

TS3899 Why since updating my ip 4s can't I send or receive email?

Why since updating my ip 4s can't I send or receive email?

Well, I'm not real sure. You would need to provide more details about what happens when you try? How did you set up the email, who is the provider, what errors you get when you try to get or send mail?

Unable to send or receive text from another iphone after updating ver 7.02

Before updating ver 7.02 I was able to send and receive text to any cell phone. After updating to ver 7.02 can no longer send nor receive any text from any iphone 4 or iphone 5. Can send and receive to/from an old iphone 3 and to any non-iphone but not iphone 4 or 5. Tried updating iTunes then restore phone from backup, no change. Deleted apps that were no longer being used and transferred all my pictures on phone to a folder on computer then deleted then out of iTunes. Tried restoring again, once again no change.
Not having any idea what else to try, went to AT&T store for help. Pretty much got a shrug of the shoulders with the response of yep, a lot of texting problems after 7.02 update. No help at all.
Anybody else have or had this issue? If yes, what did you find causing the problem?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response. I tried so many things forgot to list that I did try turning off iMessage, reset network and turned network back on- no change. Also forgot to mention it's my wife's phone, I'm more old school. If I need to talk to somebody, I just call since I already have a phone in my hand. That's my solution to the problem but she doesn't think so. LOL. Also tried hard restarting several times, didn't make any difference. I am still fiddling around with it, if I come up with anything I will post it.
Thanks again for the help.

If I have two email accounts, one personal hotmail account and one MS Exchange work account, how can I setup individual notifications for each account. Right now, any email from any account has the same notification. I want work to be different than perso

If I have two email accounts, one personal hotmail account and one MS Exchange work account on my iPhone 4s, How can I setup individual notifications for each account? Fore example, if I get a work email, I want to hear a DING, DING....If I get a personal email, I want to hear a BEEP, BEEP. Right now, any email from any account has the same notification. I want work incoming email notification to be different than personal incoming notification. The only semi-workaround I've seen is just disable any notification for the Hotmail account, so only work emails would notify. But then I don't know when I get a personal email. Even the lowely Blackberry Torch 9800 has this feature..not iPhone 4s??
Thanks

Sorry you get only one notification sound for all email accounts. you can send a suggestion to apple here http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Receiving Email from Multiple Accounts?

Is there some way of receiving email from multiple accounts in one centralized account? It was automatic with my Blackberry. Having to switch back and forth between accounts is a pain, and potentially dangerous if driving. If the iPhone email app can't do it, is there a third-party app that can?
Thanks.

No, there's not. Email accounts are kept separate on the iPhone.
Having to switch back and forth between accounts is a pain, and potentially dangerous if driving.
As opposed to just reading your email all accumulated into one inbox while driving - that's perfectly safe, right?? I'm sure not having to switch from one email account to another while driving frees up your attention for more important things, such as reading the newspaper or doing a crossword puzzle.
Please consider adding a location to your profile so I know which roads to avoid...

I can't send or receive emails from my Ipad. Support didn't fix it

I can't send or receive emails. I tried to turn it off and on. I also tried to open all the servers and nothing worked. Please help. This is the older Ipad and I don't want to purchase anything if I don't have to.

I don't fully understand what the System Reset does but I've found that it cures many ills. It's easy, quick and harmless:
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 162. Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.

Finally, the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.
