Can't connect to one POP3 account after installing Moutain Lion and Mail 6

I use Mail 6 as my client to connect to several POP accounts. Just one of them won't work. I can make it work in Thunderbird. The account name has an explanation mark in a circle icon next to it. When I click on that I get: "The server returned the error: The server “pop.mycompanyserver.com” cannot be contacted on port 995." I've tested all of the settings and contacted Enterprise IT. I think it may be something about autodiscovery. Is there something I can manually change on my end? Thanks.

Nope. Didn't work. My company IT told me to get lost, but I'm pretty sure it's a problem at their end.
Nevertheeless, maybe this will help in getting to the bottom of this: when I delete the account and then go into Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Add Account, I type in my e-mail and password and it searches for a server that matches. It finds something called autodiscover.companyname.net, which it calls an"Exchange server," but it fails to login, saying the email address or the password entered may not be correct

  • After installing moutain lion all clicks to anywhere on desktop only opens spotlight window

    After upgrading my iMac from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, all clicks to anywhere on the destop result in only opening the spotlight window....I can't lauch anything whatsoever....any ideas?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Black screen on MacBook Pro Retina Display after installing Moutain Lion. Need Help!

    My macbook pro (retina) screen went black after I installed Mountain Lion.
    I got a HDMI cable to another monitor and the image worked nicely there.
    But i cant get it back on my MacBook Pro! I tried taking out the HDMI cable, restarting, searching on settings configs..
    What should I do?
    Are there any drivers i should install to get image back on my MacBook Pro Retina Display?
    Has this happened to anyone else?
    Thanks in advance for all the help.

    That helped me finding other people with similar problems.
    But there is a major difference!
    -They have a black screen after they login.
    -My screen is black NOW! And I'm only using my BRAND NEW rmbp with the HDMI cable to my TV!
    This isnt good at all and I would like to solve it asap..
    I tried reinstalling Mountain Lion, taking out the hdmi cable and rebooting many times.
    Until now, nothing!
    Is my screen broken or maybe my video card has some problems?
    I hope not! I just traveled from the US to Brazil and I dont want to search for an Apple Store here.
    Any tips or ideas are welcome, thank you.

  • Mac book wont turn on after installing Mountain Lion

    I installed mountain lion on my macbook. Like other users my battery drained quickly for about two weeks. The my computer wouldn't turn on. I have taken it to apple and they inform me my logic board needs to be replaced. They assure me that I have done nothing wrong it just happens some time. After talking to other people at uni I have discovered they have had hardware problems like the earphone jacks not working after installing Moutain Lion and battery power draining. Has anyone else had these issues?

    some of my friends have the battery issue. I suggested them to do clean install and it fixed for some..

    there are 2 recent posts that suggest issues over 5, one where someone was trying to troubleshoot for a friend or client as they couldn't keep more than 5 connected, and the other where somone had more than 5 but was using 2 separate itunes libraries to share the load - not sure if that was with the same or differing AppleIDs.
    I guess there is always the possibility that things kight vary from one itunes version to the next even unintentionally to allow more.

    <E-mail Edited by Host>

    It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
    I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
    So what to do, what to do.
    Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
    I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
    When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
    Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
    The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
    It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
    So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
    The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
    So what you will have to do is this:
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files.

  • Ichat can't connect to my AIM account, gives me the error "Cannot log in to AIM. General error. Try again." Please help!

    ichat can't connect to my AIM account, gives me the error "Cannot log in to AIM. General error. Try again." Please help!

    HI,
    Your specs say OS X 10.6.8 which would be iChat 5.x.x in Snow Leopard.
    This version by default tries to login in to the AIM server called login.oscar.aol.com on port 5190 using the TCP protocol.
    An internet connection is made up of 65535 of these so called ports (more like TV stations)
    Most routers have ports up to port 1024 which means some of the iChat Login Ports are above this.
    Two ways to Solve this.
    1) Change the Login port iChat uses
    2) Change the way the router opens ports.
    For 1) go to iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
    Highlight/select the AIM account.
    In the Info Tab deselect the "Enable this Account" to make sure you are Logged out.
    In the Server Settings change the Port to 443
    You can decide not to use SSL as well if you wish  (the server name automatically loses the leading "s")
    For 2) log in to the routers set up pages and make sure it is doing UPnP
    This allows the computers  to tell the router which ports to open. It also allows multiple devices to use the same ports.
    For iChat this allows it to Screen Share as this happens on an unlisted random port.
    Opps  forgot a couple of things.
    If you are using an APple ID registed at Apple ending in @mac.com @me.com or @iCloud.com then the passowrd at Apple has to be 16 characters or less to work with the AIM servers.
    Additionally the iCloud issued @me.com and @iCloud.com one require you to use iChat 6 in Lion or Messages in Mountian Lion due to changes Apple made to the security of letting AIM "read" the passwords.

    As documented ...
    FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS is a property of a profile, and will lock an account
    SEC_MAX_FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS is an initialization parameter and will drop a connection but says nothing about locking accounts.
