Can't get or receive mail

I set up a apple mail account and linked it to my aol address several months ago. In the process, I was asked to sign on for a free mac something which I did. Recently, I received notice that the free mac something was expiring. I let it. This morning I can't send or receive mail because my "address doesn't match authentication." Help !
Thanks.

Hi
Assuming that you don't want to continue with the .Mac service (which is $100 a year), you'll probably need to go into your Mail Preferences (under the Account section) and reset your account settings to the AOL ones. If your email is currently set to "Account type: .Mac", it's actually easier to create a new account, then move your old mail across manually.
Do this: click the "+" icon on the bottom left of the accounts panel to set up a new account. Set the following values:
Account type: IMAP (the rest of the fields on that screen are self-explanatory)
Incoming mail server: imap.aol.com
You can tick "Use SSL" and leave Authentication set to "Password"
User name: your email address before the "@aol.com" part
Password: your AOL password
Outgoing mail server: smtp.aol.com
Use authentication: ticked. Use same user and password as before.
Tick "SSL", Authentication should be "Password"
See if that works for you. Once it's working, go back into the Account preference panel, click on your .Mac account, and go to Advanced. Untick "Include when automatically checking for new email". Then move your old email (in the inbox, sent items and draft, if necessary) across to your new AOL inbox and other folders. Once you're happy the email is all moved, you can remove the old account.

Hi bronxville! I just got off the phone with apple and basically was told there was nothing they could do. They said to wait 24 hours and hopefully the problem will be fixed. He thinks it's a Lion problem. But honestly he couldn't help. Said he had no reports of I cloud being Dow

No Mail. I can not get or send mail from my iPhone,iCloud, or mail on the desktop. Password is correct i can get into iCloud but not able to get mail.

I can not get or send mail from my iPhone, iCloud, and desktop mail. All are the same account, password is right and working. When the problem first happened I updated to a new password.
The Mail and the phone are telling me ( "The iCloud IMAP server “p99-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user “k****n******2”}
From the iCloud account i get a message saying mail could not be loaded and the details. Which i have copyed below.
Any thoughts or anyone I can ring ? This was a paid for mobile me account.

Spent at least 40 min talking to apple support, to sort it out. luckly not at my cost. After trying lots of things and speaking to a higher grade support person I was given a temp password which did the trick. I then was able to reset that with my own password.
The impression i got was no one knowns what the problem is and resetting the password at the apple end works. Not sure if you would be able to self fix.

I can't get my iCloud mail To Work

I've tried every ID and password I can think of and I still can't get my Apple Mail to send/receive emails from my iCloud Account?
What do I need to do to just get it setup correctly. I've tried following the tutorials but haven't had any success.
Any ideas?
(Also, when I try to Setup Mail With system prefs->icloud it tells me Mail can't be enabled at this time try again.
iCloud on my Mac and my iPhone is so frustrating... There are also too many user ids... very confusing!

You should only have one ID for iCloud, and perhaps one for the iTunes Store, depending on how you set it up.
To setup iCloud email you need to login with your iCloud @me.com email address and iCloud password.

You can open your second profile which is no ability of receiving new mail and export all of messages/contacts/calendar item to a PST file and save it somewhere.
Then open the first profile, import the privious PST file into this profile to solve the problem.
Using .pst files in Microsoft Outlook is good way to transfer the data, here is some information how to manage the PST file for your reference.

Can not get my voice mail while in canada

Hello i can not get my voice mail while in canada.. help call forwarding is off.. when i dial my 10 digit number and hit send it says call ended.... but as soon as i cross back into the us it works just fine .. all was good till approx 6 weeks ago.. i have not added any thing or removed any thing either.

While in Montreal PQ I don't receive voice mail notifications and *VM does not work. However if I dial my ten digit phone number I can retrieve my voice mail.
Also when I get to my hotel I can dial my phone and retrieve that way.
Another way is to use the backdoor Verizon voicemail number then follow the prompts to enter your cell number and password code.
It is not toll free but I have never been charged for using it.
Of course I don't know if it even is still available.

How can i get my junk mail on my ipad?

How can i get my junk mail on my ipad ? I only receive regulare e-mail on my ipad. Offten regular mail is placed into junk mail.

With an IMAP account along with storing the account's junk mailbox on the server with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account.
All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account will be available automatically when accessing the account with the iPad's Mail app along with all server stored mailboxes kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account. You will also be able to transfer a legit message from the account's junk mailbox to the account's Inbox mailbox.
None of this is possible with a POP account.

How can i get my e-mail address linked to my skype...

I need help!!!!
How can i get my e-mail address linked to my skype user name.
Regards Gerald

You can use a different email account, but it will not appear on icloud.com as iCoud only hosts iCloud email. Just add your account to the email client on your PC as you would any other email account. To add the account on your iOS devices (iPhone), go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account, choose your provider and provide your account details.
You can't redownload purchased ringtones from iCloud for free but you can sync them to your 5c using iTunes. To do so, connect your iPhone 4 to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Then go to the Tones folder of your iTunes library and confirm that the ringtones appear there. (If you don't see the Tones folder, go to Edit>Preferences>General and make sure Tones is checked in the Show options.)
Then connect your 5c to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Tones folder of your iTunes sync settings, then check Sync Tones and click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.

How can I get my e-mail address associated with Adobe Digital Editions?

How can I get my e-mail address associated with Adobe Digital Editions?

gjortega,
Your sidekick may be relaying through a different server. If its on AT&T, it could be using cwmx.com for outgoing. However, cwmx.com only works for AT&T/Cingular EDGE customers. When on Wi-fi it won't allow you to send through it.
Many internet providers, but not all, provide an authenticating SMTP server to use when travelling. If you configured your outgoing server to use the email providers authenticating SMTP server information on a port different from port 25, you will be able to use it on most networks. Some wireless networks filter a wider range of ports, such as some work places.
This article discusses the issue in more detail:

How can I get my e-mails when I get a message that the folder inbox is full?

I can't get my e-mail and the e-mails in my inbox have disappeared from Thunderbird, (but not from my server's web mail), so I can't divide it into several folders on Thunderbird to alleviate the problem. I don't know what happened to my old e-mails and I can't get new ones. I did go to my server's web site and deleted a huge number of e-mails there, but that didn't solve the problem. In fact, I wonder if this procedure caused my inbox to somehow disappear in Thunderbird.
I get a message that says "The folder inbox is full and can't any more messages. To make room for more messages delete any old or unwanted mail and compact the folder."
I have a new Mac with Maverick. However, in case this matters, all of my old files were migrated to the new Mac, including e-mails. Most of the old e-mails are in a separate folder, however. How can I restore my inbox and also get new e-mails?
Thank you very much.
I just thought of something else. I just changed my password with the server. Could this be the problem? I am able to *send* e-mail with Thunderbird, however.

Technically the limit of 4Gb per folder should have been removed in a recent patch. Personally I an unconvinced as the developers have said so twice before and something else arose to bite people at 4Gb. So the limit probably does not exist anymore and moving mail and compacting will fix it without data loss if it occurs as recent issues have been about displaying mail after the 4Gb point, not storing it.
Use the Ctrl and Shift keys in conjunction with your mouse to make multiple selections.
click followed by Shift+ Click selects everything between the two clicks, including the items clicked.
Holding the Ctrl key while clicking allows you to select or deselect mail to either fine turn the list from shift clicking or to make one of your own.
Ctrl +A selects everything in the list from the current selection to the end.
One option is create an important folder and move your important stuff to it then ctrl +A the whole remaining inbox.
