Can't get mail to download any messages...........

I just upgrade to Leopard and have been using Opera. I can still download messages via Opera, but not using Mail. I can click on the account info. via the Mail program and it shows the individual messages on the server, but it won't download them to the computer when clicking on "get mail". I work for the ISP, so I know my mail settings are correct.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Not sure what the default ports are, but take a look at:
Outgoing Server = smtp.live.com
-Port 25 or 587 [Note: Preferred Outgoing is Port 587 instead of Port 25 since many ISP’s blocks Port 25 usage. Similar blocking can occur when using Port 25 in hotels or accessing via a WiFi network/hotspot]
-Outgoing Server Authentication = On(check the option)-Encryption/Authentication = SSL or TLS
* Choose SSL for Windows Live Mail, Outlook 2003, iPhone, iPod Touch, Outlook Express and Vista’s Windows

    This has been slowly driving me mad since I made the conversion to Macs a few months back.
    I've got the outgoing server set to smtp.live.com with authentication of password, using my hotmail account and password. I've tried ticking and unticking various boxes. Deleteing the account and the then entering again.  I've tried it on both my home broadband and Uni network.
    I can receive mail with no problems but just can't send mail.
    smtp.live.com (Offline)
    Use default ports
    SSL - tried both ticked and unticked
    authentication - password

  • I can't get Mail to add any of my accounts

    Hello
    I have used many Apple computers in the past. I have recently decided to utilize my iMac more, and have been trying to add my accounts into Apple. I am adding in from Gmail, Yahoo, and Google Apps. I have done this before on a MacBook with an older version of Mail and it has been totally fine. I have also gotten my emails synced up on my iPhone and iPad with no issues.
    When I try and add in the accounts, I make sure all of the steps are followed to a T. I've tried POP, IMAP, and still the accounts won't go online. Many times it says there is an smtp error.
    Has anyone else dealt with this? Is it an issue with Apple 7.3 or am I missing something totally obvious?
    I have used the default methods to set up as well as using the "add other account" option and entering it manually.
    I'm at a loss. Any help would be awesome.

    If you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate an application-specific password in your Google account and enter it instead of the login password you use on the website. You must change the password for both the incoming and the outgoing mail server. The same goes for Yahoo.

    How long has it been going on? I've had my yahoo mess up and if i wait a bit it resolves itself. Yahoo is doing something with their servers and it messes with your mail if your mail happens to be on one of those servers.

  • I get a message the message " Can not get mail. Not connected to server" Yet I am connected with Wi-fi and can access all other websites. Can you advise? My iPad is only a month old!

    Has any one experienced not being able to send mail and only receiving some? I get the message " can not get mail. No connection to the server! " Yet I get some mail but can not send out any. My iPad is only 1 month old! It worked perfectly for about 10 days.
    Thx

    Hey agnesfromcopenhagen k,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Mail on your iPad. The following resource provides some troubleshooting steps. What kind of account are you using? Some internet providers require that you be connected to your home Wi-Fi (or for work accounts, inside your corporate Wi-Fi/firewall). Also, some email accounts require two-step authentication. For more information, see this resource:

    Have you turned the phone off? If so, and it hasn't fixed the issue, try a reset:
    Press and hold the Sleep/On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds. Ignore the slide to turn off indicator, and wait for the Apple logo to reappear. Release buttons. No content will he changed with this process.

  • Message says: "can not get mail, the connection to the server failed" . Now I'm confused because all the mail shows up perfectly.

    I just upgraded to the 5s. I have several mail accounts and I'm getting a message that says: "can not get mail, the connection to the server failed" . Now I'm confused because all the mail shows up perfectly.

    Well it does it every time I go to mail and is driving me nuts. It never happened on my iPhone5, just on this 5s.

    That one is typically caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (iTunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.) The following document may be of some assistance:
