Cant recive emails from my Mac Mail?

Hello
I'm having a problem receiving emails from my mac mail account. have all the correct details and no fire wall blocking my connection to the inter net.
However I go to mac Mail and click get mail were there is a timer and after about five Min's of churning around a strange *Warning icon* appears at the side of my mac mail in box, and eventually a warning pops up
Saying *(Same actions taken the account "MacMail was offline could not be completed Online.*
*Mail has undone actions on some messages so that you can redo the actions while online. Mail has saved other messages in mailbox "On My Mac" in "on My Mac" so that can somplete the actions while online.*
*Additional Information: The connection to the server "mail.mac.com" on port 993 timed out.)*
(I have my gmail accounts as well and they seem to be working okay)
Any help would be great.

Hi Simon:
Open Mail. Highlight the mailbox(s) you wish to rebuild. Click on Mailbox from the menu bar. Click rebuild. That process takes a few minutes, normally. Frankly, I am not sure what it does, but it does "fix" problems on occasion. The mailbox "help" has a bit more information.

When I forward an email from my Mac Mail, the body of the email I just forwarded shows as an attachment in the recipients outlook. Is there a way to change this so my clients don't have to open an attachment to read something that I forwarded to them?

When I forward an email from my Mac Mail, the body of the email I just forwarded shows as an attachment in the recipients outlook. Is there a way to change this so my clients don't have to open an attachment to read something that I forwarded to them?

Open Terminal in Utilties and copy/paste
This will send the attachment embedded inline. (This works in Snow Leopard, but not sure about Lion. Do a test first. If it doesn't work, just google "send attachment embedded + Lion." You don't actually have to send the message to see how it will appear.)
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing 0
To reverse the setting, change the 0 to a 1
However, whether this will work or not will depend on what the e-mail client on the receiver's end does with it.

How do I set up an alias email with Mac Mail, so that my alias shows up when I send email from my Mac Mail account?

I am have an email forwarding service, not an email account, which I want to set up as an alias for Mac Mail so that my email appears in the "from" address when I send messages from Mac Mail. I'm having trouble figuring out what I need to do to set up this configuration. Thanks so much for your help!

There are a couple of ways of doing this. The easiest is probably to just add the secondary address in the Mail.app -> Preferences -> Accounts field.
The specifics of which vary a little based on the OS/Mail.app version you're running, but in Yosemite:
Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts
Select your iCloud account and change the 'Alias' popup menu from your iCloud address to 'custom'.
Doing this enables the 'Email Address' field. In this field you can enter the email address you want to appear in your From header.
If you want to use multiple addresses (e.g. your iCloud address and your other alias), you can enter a comma-separated list of addresses - e.g. '[email protected], [email protected]' and then you'll have a pop-up menu on each new message where you can choose the address to use for each outgoing message. You can also set the default address in Preferences -> Composing -> Send new messages from:

Trouble sending email from my mac mail on my computer

I'm running 10.6.8 and macmail 4.6. Difficulty for the last week and especially the last two days. Mail "magically" decides to send when it wants to. I'm set up on iCloud.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm thinking this is an iCloud issue due to what I'm seeing when I google.
Thanks;-)

What happens when you try sending email? Have you seen this support article yet? If not, it would be a good place to start.

Printing emails from a mac mail folder

hi,
I have many folders under my inbox in MacMail. Each of those folders represents a client. I need to individually print the content of those folders as pdf's so I can save them to a DVD for storing in my actual paper file for my offc. I've gone round and round thru Google, Apple 911, etc etc and I'm at a loss! Even the gal at Apple Care couldn't help.
Does anyone out there have a way to do this? Its so simple to do on Outlook for PC and Adobe Pro but not for Mac?
I have OS Mountain Lion and the latest Apple Mail. I also have Adobe Pro for Mac
Please help!

Thanks Beat. As you suggested, I moved the files in the problem folder over to a new folder, and then deleted the old folder. Problem solved

Move all Mail emails from one Mac to another

Move all Mail emails from one Mac to another (both Mountain Lion)
Is it correct to copy (/replace) the following to the target Mac?
~/Library/Mail/
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
and everything beginning with
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist...
Many thanks!

The Imap account does not need to be moved, sign in on the new machine, your mail will be there.
Does this mean even though these mails had been downloaded to the first Mac, they are still stored online too
Yes, Imap systems store all mail on the server, all connected clients are synchronized to the server (the mail itself stays on the server)
... regarding the POP accounts. Do you simply want the contents are or you planning on continued use of these accounts on the new machine?
Continued use.
Export each mailbox from the old machine to the desktop, to do so select a mailbox, rght click and choose Export, repeat for all others. Move the mailboxes to the new machine'sdesktop.
I suggest setting up the new accounts before importing the mail from the old machine.
In mail choose File>Import Mailboxes, choose the ones on the desktop (one at a time) a new mailbox will appear in Mail called Imported, you can move mail from there back to the correct mailbox in the POP accounts.

I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. Help!

I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. I've been on the phone with yahoo mail and they've verified that my account settings are correct and I can send email from yahoo. I can receive emails via Mac mail, but just can't send them. An error message appears that says:
"Sending the message content to the server failed." I can't send emails from my Mac desktop, iphone or ipad. Any suggestions! Help! I'm a Mac rookie and so frustrated! Thanks.

Please read and begin using Can receive email, but not send email. I had a similar issue with Comcast mail (could receive by not send) and found my answer in this letter. For me it took resetting the outgoing mail and telling the system to use a password when sending outgoing mail. If you need help with that please advise and I'll tell you where to look.

Hi Maastricht2014,
Until and unless you remember the password to your old email address, you will not be able to access the eBooks as those eBooks are only authorized with your old email address only.
The only workaround or alternative to access your eBooks will be to contact the eBook vendor and ask them to migrate the eBook from your old email to the new one.
Hope that Helps!

Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

HT1277 I cannot send email from my mac but I can from my iPad and iphone

Hi Guys,
Suddenly I cannot send email from my Mac. I can however receive emails.
I can send emails with the same settings from my iPad and iPhone.
Please help!!

Your settings for the SMTP server — host name, port number, SSL/TLS or not, or login credentials — are likely incorrect. Use the Connection Doctor tool (Mail.app > Window > Connection Doctor) to check what's going on with the connections (and to get some diagnostic messages), then review the diagnostics and the current settings with the requirements established for your particular mail provider.

How do I only sync the last 18 months of emails to my mac mail on the macbook?

How do I only sync the last 18 months of emails to my mac mail on the macbook? It is currently retrieving all emails from the four accounts I am syncing to and filling up space on my macbook. I can't work out how to set a limit.
Any help appreciated!

Imap is designed to synchronize your mail client with the mail server, this the normal result.
Switch to POP access if you want it to work asynchronously

Did you change the password on your Mac as well? Go to Mail / Preferences / Accounts and change it there too.
