Cannot go online with mail

I have recently joined a new ethernet network and now cannot go online with mail. Safari and othern internet applications run fine but when i try the connection doctor it says that i'm not connected to the internet.
I solved a problem on MSN by changing the proxy setting in the application, but i can't see how to do this in mail.
Can anyone please help?

The Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update introduced connection issues as a result of (according to the documentation) "Mail now supports connecting to mail servers through a SOCKS proxy". If that's the problem, you must go to System Preferences > Network and disable the SOCKS Proxy in the network configuration used to connect to the Internet, if it's enabled.
Also, go to System Preferences > Network > Show: Network Port Configurations, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.

Cannot send Email with Mail since updated to 10.7.2, they stay in my Send Box...

Since I updated, I cannot send Email through Mail, it works with Thunderbird though.

Just FYI, I've had the same problem for months now. I have been accessing my hotmail via the web, but decided to try the OS X Mail app. I could get emails into the account with no problem but couldn't send. I read all the blog and support entries and have tried everything they recommended, like changing my computer name to one word, without success. Then last night, it just so happened that my broadband provider had to change out my wireless modem. As soon as he plugged in the new one, some emails that had been in my outbasket for a month went through instantly and all of a sudden my Mail, both incoming and outgoing now work. So I think people need to look at their router settings for the a solution to the problem.

Cannot get online with netbook

We upgraded to Infinity but now I cannot get online on my netbook. The icon and wireless connection panel indicate I am connected by when I launch my browser (IE) it says unable to display webpage. My husband managed to get online by using Openzone but this is not very satisfactory when we are paying for Infinity. Our OS is Windows XP.

Hi Jady and welcome
It's good you've got on line with Openzone, I presume from your own signal... checks that wireless connectivity is working between your Netbook and HH3.
If you go to your HH3 you can pull out a useful plastic card/tab which has your wireless code on it.
Then with your Netbook click on your wireless icon... probably bottom right and click on your wireless name.
This should say something like connect, enter in the wireless key exactly as shown on your tab/hub settings card.
And it should connect.
I removed the BT Help Desk software off my XP PC as it caused connection problems... kept saying connection failure did I want it fixed... say yes and click on the picture of the HH I was using then it went and connected.
I didn't have this problem on any of my other machines so as this XP PC was the only one with the BT software I removed it as it is uneccessary and the problem never re-occured.
A useful wireless scanner that's free http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/ will show your home signals and
can help identify a clear or least used channel you can moved your HH3 from it's Automatic setting to this least congested channel.
Video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf2kZCfYTxI It's the older version 1 but similar. You get a list of your signal and all your neighbours along with a time graph showing their signal strengths... the lower the number the stronger the signal is.
Mine is around 40 to 50, a picture in my post HERE showing my signal is the strongest and my neigbours which is on a nearby channel is weaker.... If it was the same signal strength I would move my HH3 wireless setting off the Automatic setting and set it to a clearer channel.
Let us know how you get on... I'm using a Win 7 laptop but have the PC running win XP upstairs and could go thru the exact log in process if you still have probs.

HT1692 I cannot go online with my iPhone.

How I cannot go online, check my email on my iphone?

Are you connected to a wifi network, or a cellular network?
Either one of these methods are the ways to get you online and able to browse the web, check and get email, and so forth.
If there are no wifi networks available to log in to, and the cellular reception is poor, this can be what is preventing you from going 'online'

Cannot get online with safari etc

Just back into school this morning and went on to the wireless network in school. I got all my emails and went to see if I could surf the net.....but although I got all my emails I could not go online with Safari or anything else. I could use the FTP to view my school info for updating the webpages. I do not think that any thing happened in school over the break. I used my laptop on line at home but only dialup( no broadband in my area). I did however go into an internet cafe in town to download some big photos my daughter sent me. To do this I connected the laptop to a cable and it worked fine. Any help would be great. Thanks
Dave

Strange. Do you have the chance to use an other notebook and try this one to log in with your username/password for the school's WLAN ? If you can get hands on an other student's notebook, ensure that it is not mistakenly their account being left active.
In this way, we would be able to determine whether or not your school account is okay. Then we can focus to the PB - but confessed I would need myself to get a closer look at this, since I don't remember of a way just disabling the web access via WLAN and allow it by LAN (you stated previously that a LAN connection works).
In the meantime, here are some ideas:
You may check your Internet connection settings: In the menu line, click to the wave symbol (signal strength) of your AirPort and from the menu select "Open 'internet connection'" or open it from the Finder (it should be at your "Applications" folder).
Ensure that your wireless connection at AirPort is set correctly (your school's network name should be selected). For testing purposes, you may remove all entries from the "Modem" connection settings.
You could also check your Internet connection with the "network service app" (applications folder / utility folder) to ensure that anything is set up correctly. Maybe you have the chance to walk through the settings with the network admin of your school's WLAN near you.
Sorry, it is just guessing. By the way, since I use the German version of Mac OS X, the programs and settings mentioned above may be named differently.

Cannot send email with Mail app-..can't connect to AOL server anymore??

Up until today my MAIL app in my iMac let me use an email address that is from the AOL.com group (netscape.net)…I cannot send emails now because I can't get the computer to connect to the server. My iPad will….but not the desktop. I tried using a different server name; smtp.nestcape.net, which is the one I used in the iPad…but the iMac won't let me change it to that one..so back to the old smtp.aol.com……Still my MAIL app is not recognizing this or letting me connect!?!. I tried creating a new password at the wedpage of that email account.. successfully..but it has made no difference. I am stumped and have wasted half the day trying to deal with this. Anyone else have such an experience? HELP…PLEASE!

Thank you Eric for sending the links. Fortunately after I wrote this post…I don't know what happened but I filled in my mail preference settings for the umteenth time with my new email password and voila! It worked. For some reason however…now when I open the Mail App I do still get a prompt asking me if I want to use this server….and it is, of course, the one and only I have listed.!?!?! The thing that irritates me…is…that I had done NOTHING to cause a problem to begin with. I think my email account at aol (nestcape) may have been hacked and my password stolen or compromised in some way??...and perhaps that caused a glitch in my mail app??? I am no techy, but I should have started out with my intuition and changed the password first before going mental….When something like this happens it makes one feel so vulnerable.…I usually feel well secured with my lone iMac and now my new iPad…ANYWAY…thank tyou for addressing my issue and I have bookmarked those links…for future reference which I hope I never need. Hey..is that your kitty??? She is beeeooootiful!
Take care and again, thanx~ D

Laptop cannot go online with new HomeHub 4

Please excuse me for being a complete beginner - could any answers be in non-techno form please as I'm not aufait with most of the terms used!!
I installed our new HomeHub 4 yesterday and all computers/iphones/tablets managed to log in and go online - apart from one laptop. It is our oldest, running Windows Vista and I don't know if that may pose a problem. Having looked at other queries about this, I am still non the wiser as to how to get it online. I have managed to sign it into BT-Fon perfectly ok and at present it is going online etc through that. It obviously signs into the Hub but for some reason it just will not go through our secure network - it says it has signed into an unidentified network and has local access only. When looking at the network it is on, it is the only computer. My laptop shows every piece of equipment currently using the Hub, including this particular laptop, which seems to be on it's own network.
What I was really needing to know is if I have to get the laptop to 'lose' its previous network memory as I read somewhere here that Vista computers seem not to like having to go on new networks. If this is the case, how do I do it? I can find my way around a computer (eventually!) but am not an expert so would be grateful for any instructions to be written in simple speak.
Many thanks for any help offered - if you can understand the above!

Cannot Edit Rules with Mail 1.3.11 on 10.3.9

Hi Mac OS X v10.3 Users,
I just found out today that I can't edit many of my rules. I'd say about 50% of them cannot be edited when I select the rule and then click on the Edit button. The problem doesn't go away when I restart Mail, and the same rules seem to be affected.
When I select "About Mail", it says I have version 1.3.11 (v622/624). Software Update says I am up to date with everything except Quicktime.
G4 M5183 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

You may have a corrupted Rules preference. Quit Mail
and go to user/Library/Mail and look for
MessageRules.plist and MessageRules.plist.backup.
Delete MessageRules.plist (don't empty the Trash).
Rename MessageRules.plist.backup to
MessageRules.plist.
Restart Mail and see if you can edit the Rules now.
The names of the files are actually MessageSorting.plist and MessageSorting.plist.backup, and I renamed the corrupted file instead of deleting it, but otherwise I did what you said and I can edit my rules again! Thanks!

Cannot get online with d-LINK wireless router

I am using a PB G4 with an Airport card firmware 9.52. All software is up-to-date. (OS 10.4.6)
The airport works fine in other locations -- seeing many signals and getting onto internet.
But at home it is not working. My roommate has an iBOOK and it works fine on our home network. He sees and gets signal and connects to internet. He also SEES many of our neighbors signals.
My laptop doesn't see OUR signal -- nor does it see any of the other signals.
If I connect directly with ethernet cable, I am online. But not with airport.
We have cable with a dLINK 2.4 GHZ (DI-614+) wireless Broadband router.
I've checked airport card connections. This completely boggles me because I can connect in other venues AND because my roommate and his friends can connect with different MACS in our house.
Thanks for any suggestions.
]

I am not an expert, but I downloaded the Net Magic softwaret that was on the dlink installation disk and it really helped. It's shareware with a 30 day free trial but once it sets up your system with the wizard you don't have to keep it. You might try googling it if it didn't come with your modem.

Can't go online with mail

For some reason I can't get my mail Online. I keep getting an error that says that the server "p99-imap.mail.me.com" refused to allow a connection on port 143. I can go onto Safari and check my email, but I have folders set up in mail that I need to put things in.
Any thoughts?

sounds like your firewall or your router or your isp are blocking port 143
as when you access mails over safari it's over port 80 like all www traffic

Cannot send attachments with mail

All of a sudden I cannot longer send attachments using the Mail app in OS 10.8.4
Any attachment, any file, any type, using the iCloud server or my internet provider, Mediacom.
Any help?
Thanks.

This may seem a bit basic, but it has worked for me in the recent past - have you quit Mail, relaunched it and tried again? Or, if that doesn't help, try again after restarting the Mac.

Have 3g reception but cannot get online with new 4s.

I just got a new 4s and whilst using it this weekend in Cork city centre with full 3g coverage shown I couldn't get online. Resetting it worked briefly but then stopped and wifi is working fine. Any ideas? Thanks. Oliver

Hi Minnamumu:
In the Airport Admin Utility, configure the airport with the following:
Airport Tab: Wireless Mode: Create a Wireless Network (Home Router)
Internet Tab: Connect using: ethernet
Network Tab: Make sure the Distribute IP addresses is NOT checked.
Have a go at that, if that get's you up and running, then I would suggest going back under the airport tab and turning on some form of wireless security. (I recommend WPA2)
Let us know if that helps you out and get's you online!

Just hooked up mifi with Verizon and cannot go online with my firefox

firefox is my home page and i just hooked up with a mifi with verizon

If you purchased the TV through them then rightfully so
This has to do with a defective device purchased through VZW. If it was purchased directly from HTC then yes of course file a complaint against HTC.
Mobile customers are in the mindset that if they purchase their device through the carrier it's the carrier's responsibility to handle defective devices. VZW could have easily said to the OP that not our problem contact HTC and washed their hands of it. Instead they decided to send another defective device to the OP.
