Can't receive my AOL emails through mac mail 5.1

I just upgraded to Lion and now I can't receive my AOL emails through mac mail 5.1.  I can send email fine though the AOL account and all my other email accounts are fine.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

  • Can't receive any .btinternet emails in Mac Mail!

    I am using Mac Mail on Lion OSX but unable to receive any emails that are addresses to any of my .btinternet addresses.  However I do receive emails sent to my .pipex addresses.  Furthermore I can receive ALL emails to Thunderbird and BTyahoo  my alternative email clients on the same Mac.  It seems that it is just Mac Mail that is stopping all emails with a .btinternet suffix from being delivered.  Anyone know why?  It could be a Mac Mail problem but I don't know where to look.  When I use Connection Doctor this is what I see below.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • Can't import Outlook 2011 emails to Mac Mail

    Hi, 
    Recently I have shifted back to mac mail because of some personal reasons. Work is going great with mac mail, but the only thing I am worried about is the emails that are still in outlook 2011. Is there any wau to transfer all those emails from outlook 2011
    over to mac mail. As the emails are regarding work and are important to be used in future to keep records of our clients. I have tried the export function but somehow it does not seem to work properly. Is there ant other possible way to do this? 
    I am not that much of a technological guy so please be kind in your responses, I request to suggest some fast and reliable method. Thank you.

    You can use an intermediary IMAP server, or simply create corresponding folders in Finder and drag and drop the messages from within Outlook to that folder. Then you can import to Mail from those folders/files.
    Or you can simply look for third party tools for better and fast results, here is one recommended by apple store: Om to Mbox

  • How can I import 1000s of Emails from Mac Mail (Exchange Account) into Gmail and Retain Labels?

    I have an old exchange account in Mac Mail, disconnected, but still with 1000s of emails in a folder structre. I'd like to import all of those into my Gmail account, and retain the folder structre as Gmail labels). What's th easiest way to do this?

    That is a question for Google, as far as I know Exchange does not use labels, the folders are (unlike Gmail) real.
    But Google support may know a way.

  • Mac Mail... Can you create an iCal event through Mac Mail?

    I use Outlook constantly on my company PC and there is a WONDERFUL feature that I never recall seeing in the 8+ years I've owned a MacBook Pro... but maybe I'm simply not finding it...
    With Outlook, I can reply to an email and create a meeting (or event) immediately. I cannot do that in Mail. Is there a feature / way to accomplish this?

    If she hasn't been backing up with Time Machine (or a full backup which hasn't been overwritten) they are gone. Recreating the account won't being them back.
    If she has Time Machine, open (user)/Library/Mail in the Finder and then enter Time Machine. Navigate backwards looking for a folder named POP- and the name of the account. Use TM to restore that.

  • Problems setting up email client (Mac Mail) with BC hosted emails

    This issue has me tearing my hair out! My client wanted to take advantage of the 10 emails addresses with WebBasics. Very simple to sort out and the emails are all happily available with mail going in and out through the WebMail interface. Brilliant.
    However my client wanted to be able to access her emails through Mac Mail. And I cannot get the outgoing mail to work.
    I have followed instructions to the letter, and I can get emails to come in but when I try to send it simply states that the stmp.clientsdomain.com say's it's offline.
    I have tried using alternative ports, also using the ISP outgoing mail setting with no luck.
    My main issue after speaking to the livechat guys at BC and using Factsheets, is the information on them (screenshots etc) just does not reflect Mac Mail, I admit that I am probably using a later / earlier version but the differences seemt o be huge. For instance, I keep being told that I need to UNTICK the SSL box during configuration. But my version of Mac Mail, doesn't give me the option to tick or untick at any point, it does however throw up a warning message saying that my client's domain is invalid inscure but I can carry on. Similarly when I look at the Account Summary on the FactSheet it says that it should show "SSL:OFF" but when I follow the instructions it states "SSL:ON" . I have gone into preferences afterwards to untick SSL but it still does not work.
    Anyone have an answer?

    Hi Peter,
    I'm afraid not, I turned to Apple support forums, followed their advice for troubleshooting Mac Mail (obviously not relevant to you using Outlook) but It involved scanning ports checking firewalls etc, all of this was clear and I just cannot see the problem.
    I even got one of the Livechat BC guys to look into it, by setting up a dummy email address on the client's account, I think he was rather intrigued, but I'm not sure he's had much luck as he still hasn't got back to and that was over 20 hours ago.
    Can your client receive emails? I can only get my client's account receiving emails, when I try to send an email I just keep receiving an message telling me that it cannot connect to smtp!
    According to the BC fact sheet for sending and receiving emails: "By Default, email software will set the SMTP port to 25, which is the standard port for the smtp protocol. However our mail service has two alternative ports available that you can send through. 8025 or 587.
    However it's not blocked and those port settings didn't work either.
    The Apple fact sheet made mention to firewall settings possibly also blocking, but it's not relevant to me using my version of OS.
    Good luck, and please repost if you get any further.
    I am now just looking for a reason that my client's mail WONT work on Mac Mail, just so I can sound professional when I tell them the answer is "no".

  • Having issues sending mail through mac mail on my imac .Have 4 accounts

    I am having issues sending emails through mac mail. Have 4 accounts and they are all having same issues
    Can receive mail ok
    have tired rebuilding the mail box but no improvment.
    i need to shut down system and restart to be able to send mail.

    I tried something similar by adding a new mail account doing the apple id etc but it worked in that it would look for mail but no mail would come even though mail still goes to my phone I was loath to delete my original account just in case the new one did not work as well. So I guess I am a little stuck now.. I hope you can help me to sort it out.
    Thanks

  • I can't receive email in Mac Mail but I can send them

    I use two email programmes on my Mac Mini - Thunderbird and Mac Mail. I can receive and send emails on Thudnerbird and I can send emails on Mac Mail but I can't receive the. Next to the mailbox is a squiggly line like a wave which I presume is the promblem but I don't know what that problem is.
    I don't have this problem on my MacBook Air.
    The Mac Mini is using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.
    Thanks

    If an option exists on networksolutions to allow you to log in to your email via your web browser then access your mail via webmail then try deleting the offending message that way.

    I have an email account through yahoo. I am having trouble setting it upon my iPhone and can't receive or send emails!!!! I contacted Rogers and they said I need to find out the host name of the incoming server, in other words yahoos host name. Help!!

    Yahoo's servers are notoriously unreliable. Use the "Yahoo" account type when setting it up. If it doesn't work, and you are positive the credentials are correct, wait a while and try again.
    While you're waiting, set up a free gmail or iCloud email account.

  • Can't send email from Mac MAIL

    I am setting up my new MacBook -- specifically the Mac MAIL, and intend to include a yahoo account and my new mac.com account.
    So far, through Mac MAIL, I am able to send and receive email with my mac.com account, but can only receive email on my yahoo account. When I try to send an email from the yahoo account through Mac Mail, I get an error message about the outgoing server. (btw, no trouble if I go through the Safari browser to yahoo, which is why yahoo phone assistant gave up trying).
    BUT.....the outgoing server settings are correct, as per my review and the yahoo phone assistant. Still, no luck.
    Anyone had this problem? Thanks for any advice.

    Kappy,
    Am I reading it correctly that you’re suggesting the OP to set up his/her Yahoo account again?
    You should never, ever, set up two accounts in Mail with the same Account Type, User Name and Incoming Mail Server. For each account, Mail creates a folder within ~/Library/Mail/ whose name starts with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the username and the incoming mail server. Having two accounts sharing the same account folder in Mail is calling for trouble. Amongst other problems, deleting one of the accounts would cause the (shared) account folder to be deleted as well, and all the mail stored there to be lost...

  • In Gmail I can setup other accounts to "send" email from- can I use these other addresses in Mac Mail

    In Gmail if you click the 'cog' button under your username you can choose "Settings" from the drop down menu. From Settings you choose the accounts and import tab and can enter other email addresses. This is useful to me because I have an email address [email protected] and while foobar.com host a server, the is no actual mail server but it can forward emails to aliases on that domain to some other another email address setup by admin.
    When I compose a message in Gmail in the browser I can choose [email protected] or [email protected] as my send address. I almost exclusively use my gmail account through Mac Mail on my MBP as an IMAP account.
    My question is, can I set up Mac mail in some way to send an email from the gmail server but using the alastair@foobar alias(es) as the send address?

  • Why can't I attach files to my emails in Mac Mail?

    I've messed with the .webarchive and .mailsignature to create myself an HTML email signature. After completing that, which worked, I can now no longer attach files to my emails in Mac Mail. I can click the attachment button, browse to the attachment and hit okay, but it shows nothing in the email and seems to freeze up. I have since replaced those .webarchive and .mailsignature files with the originals from Apple and restarted the computer but still am not able to attach files to my emails. Any help?
    Thank you.

    Except for the first response, all of you are unhelpful. The email was configured. Apple contacted me about the issue and said that the iPad cannot attach multiple docs to a single email regardless of whether the docs are located on the iCloud, in Pages, or a dropbox. It's operating system is not designed to do so (a stupid error if they are promoting the use of iPads for business and productivity, or even fields like architecture, design, and marketing, or even as an office alternative for remote use in meetings...which they are in professional consultations with offices). It also cannot do this through an alternate email site like a university server, yahoo, gmail, etc via Safari. Apple also cannot recommend a third party App that can do so. What they recommended, and there seems to be a lot of buzz about this being a problem with the iPad on the Internet, is that people go to their website, go to product feedback and go to enhancement requests and request the capacity to attach different types of files other than photos, and the capacity to attach multiple documents to an email. Basic functions...any email user would want. One of the Apple techs even thought it was implausible that they hadn't integrated this function ALREADY, when I called to set up the appointment.
