Collect e-mail from blueyonder.co.uk

I have changed from Virgin ( blueyonder,co.uk ) to btinternet.com
The question is how do I collect my e-mail from my old provider
I was with Outlook Express ( my e-mail was ++++++@blueyonder .co.uk )

Provided they allow the account to remain active, and that they allow mail to be collected while not connected via them, just point your email program at their mail server as before.

  • How to to stop iPad mail from deleting email from server?

    iPad 64 / Custom mail
    When I delete a mail from my iPad inbox, it is also deleted from my server. How do I configure
    To stop this?
    In other words, I like previewing my incoming email on my iPod, and I want to be able to keep my iPad email in box tidy by deleting from my inbox without deleting from my server?
    Thanks for your hep, IM

    Then you are both talking rubbish. IMAP is designed for multiple client access to the same inbox, and requires either POP3 collection, or explicit deletion from the server, to remove an email.
    IMAP deletion should NEVER delete from the server, if you choose not to do so. I have a netbook and a desktop PC using the same inbox. The Netbook uses IMAP, the desktop PC uses POP3. I can delete a message from the Netbook, and it leaves the email on the server, for the desktop PC to collect via POP3.
    From Wikipedia "E-mail clients using IMAP generally leave messages on the server until the user explicitly deletes them."
    The way the iPad is handling it, is wrong... but then again, this is Apple we're talking about. They will no doubt patent this incorrect behaviour, and market it as a "new invention".

  • How do I move mail from an old server to a new server?

    I am rebuilding my server. The new server runs on OS X 10.9.4 with Server 3.1.2. The old server ran OS X 10.9.x and Server 3.x (the exact versions are not known).
    Within the folder /Library/Server/Mail, I found the email stores for both systems.  I have gone through each folder and identified the 36 character string that serves to identify the user's mailbox and paired each one to a user id on both systems.  On the old system, there are multiple mailboxes for some users, and I think it is a result of the users being deleted and recreated: perhaps the system identified the identical name and assumed that the user might be different and therefore created a unique 36 character id for the mail system.
    The trick is, I am trying to recover the mail from the old server.
    I have attempted to copy the files which are human readable and formatted for SMTP transmission to the new server under the correct mailbox corresponding to the owning user (see screen shots below). The simple act of copying the files has not made these files visible via the IMAP protocol. I have tried restarting the mail service hoping that the Server app would rebuild whatever indexes need to be built so that the mail can be served via IMAP, and that has not worked either.
    The question is, how do I get the mail from the old server mail boxes into the new server mailboxes?
    This screen shot shows the location of one mail collection at /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail/[userid].  Mail sits in the "new" folder only for a moment before being processed and put into the "cur" folder.  Copying mail from the old server into the "new" folder produces an empty "new" folder, but one can see the files populate briefly before they are moved into the "cur" folder.
    The next screen shot shows one email opened in TextEdit.  The format should look very familiar.  This is the same format that one would use to send SMTP requests to an SMTP server.  This particular example happens to be an email from a Gmail account to the PediatricHeartCenter.org domain to test the mail system when the old server was set up.  It was sent on 24 Jan 2014 and had text reading "Intended for Mavericks1. -Jared".

    On further research, I have learned that OS X Server sets Dovecot to use the MailDir format.  The email messages can be removed from the folders and put back, and as long as they were present in the folder to begin with (received by Dovecot originally), they reflect in the Mail.app on client computers.  Deleting a file in the "cur" folder causes the file to disappear in Mail.app. Copying the file back into the "cur" folder will cause the file to reappear without any modification of an index file or any other system component, as long as the file was properly formatted by Dovecot to be identifiable to that folder.
    According to Dovecot.org's review of MailDir found here (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Ma,ilboxFormat/Maildir), the file name can be broken into simple pieces: " [unixtimestamp].[process id].[hostName],S=<message size>,W=<virtual message size>/2,[status tags]".  The original MailDir++ specification requires the string ":2," to appear after the virtual size, but this file naming format is not legal in Mac OS X, so Dovecot is modified by Apple to use "/2," instead.
    The Dovecot's wiki describes inserting new messages as follows:
    Mail delivery
    Qmail's how a message is delivered page suggests to deliver the mail like this:
    Create a unique filename (only "time.pid.host" here, later Maildir spec has been updated to allow more uniqueness identifiers)
    Do stat(tmp/<filename>). If the stat() found a file, wait 2 seconds and go back to step 1.
    Create and write the message to the tmp/<filename>.
    link() it into new/ directory. Although not mentioned here, the link() could again fail if the mail existed in new/ dir. In that case you should probably go back to step 1.
    All this trouble is rather pointless. Only the first step is what really guarantees that the mails won't get overwritten, the rest just sounds nice. Even though they might catch a problem once in a while, they give no guaranteed protection and will just as easily pass duplicate filenames through and overwrite existing mails.
    Step 2 is pointless because there's a race condition between steps 2 and 3. PID/host combination by itself should already guarantee that it never finds such a file. If it does, something's broken and the stat() check won't help since another process might be doing the same thing at the same time, and you end up writing to the same file in tmp/, causing the mail to get corrupted.
    In step 4 the link() would fail if an identical file already existed in the maildir, right? Wrong. The file may already have been moved to cur/ directory, and since it may contain any number of flags by then you can't check with a simple stat() anymore if it exists or not.
    Step 2 was pointed out to be useful if clock had moved backwards. However again this doesn't give any actual safety guarantees, because an identical base filename could already exist in cur/. Besides if the system was just rebooted, the file in tmp/ could probably be even overwritten safely (assuming it wasn't already link()ed to new/).
    So really, all that's important in not getting mails overwritten in your maildir is the step 1: Always create filenames that are guaranteed to be unique. Forget about the 2 second waits and such that the Qmail's man page talks about.
    The process described by the QMail man page referenced above suggests that as long as a file is placed in the "new" folder, that a mail reader can access it.  The mail reader then moves the file to the "cur" folder and "cleans up" the "new" folder.  This is clearly happening in OS X, because the messages are moving from "new" to "cur", but IMAP is still not serving these foreign messages to the remote readers.
    The thought crossed my mind that perhaps it is the fact that the host name does not match, which would cause the failure, however changing the "host" portion of the name from the old-server to the new-server did not fix the issue.  Even with the new server name in the file name, the inserted message fails to appear in client Mail applications.
    Within the file their is header information that still references the old machine. I'd like to not have to change the email files, because this will violate the integrity of the message. Also, this might take a lot of time or incur risks associated with poor automated processing. The header information should not be referenced by Dovecot, because the wiki page describing MailDir notes that neither Dovecot nor Dovecot's implementation of IMAP refers to the messages header information when moving and serving these mail files.
    Unlike when using mbox as mailbox format, where mail headers (for example Status, X-UID, etc.) are used to determine and store meta-data, the mail headers within maildir files are (usually) notused for this purpose by dovecot; neither when mails are created/moved/etc. via IMAP nor when maildirs are placed (e.g. copied or moved in the filesystem) in a mail location (and then "imported" by dovecot). Therefore, it is (usually) not necessary, to strip any such mail headers at the MTA, MDA or LDA (as it is recommended with mbox).
    This paragraph leads me to believe that after the mail box is identified that the content of the file becomes irrelevant to the system which manages. This suggests that we should be able to inject messages into a mailbox and have the system serve them as though they had belonged in that mailbox all along. Yet I have not found a way to do this.

  • Can I Access my iCloud mails from 10.6

    Hi Haven't upgraded my mail mobileme account to icloud because I need access to the mails while working in 10.6. I do spent a fair amount of my sparetime editing in Final Cut Pro Studio on my Mac Pro. And I have been unable to get it to work proberly in 10.7.x. I thus do need access to 10.6.x. I tried installing Final Cut on a newly formatted and installed 10.7.x disc, but the program crashes on startup. It does not do that when working in 10.6.x
    If I upgrade to iCloude. Will I then be able to access my mails while working in 10.6.x ?
    Best regards
    Jan Mejlgaard Bliddal

    You can migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud at http://me.com/move even with Snow Leopard - when asked to confirm that you have Lion on your Mac, just lie and say 'yes'.
    If you have MobileMe mail set up to collect mail from external POP accounts you should cancel this before migrating, or you may find it still working in iCloud (where it isn't supposed to) and with no way of stopping it. You may find the MobileMe email settings will continue to work for a time after migrating but it will stop eventually so you should not rely on this. You should delete your MobileMe email account from Mail.
    You can then set up Mail manually in Snow Leopard to access iCloud email; it's a slight fudge because the 'wizard' will attempt to connect you to MobileMe as soon as you enter an @me.com address. The process, which includes a workaround for this, is described here:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    You may be able to sync you calendars to iCloud by means of a hack, but you cannot sync Contacts or Bookmarsk and iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation when you migrate to iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:

  • One POP account no longer collecting new mail

    I'm having a very strange problem with Mail 3.6 on my MacBook2,1 running OS 10.5.8.  I currently have three POP account set up to be automatically checked every 15 minutes.  I have not changed settings for any of them in over a year.  Yesterday around noon one of them stopped receiving new mail (the other two continue to work just fine).  My iPhone, on which I have not changed any settings either, contines to collect mail from all three accounts (and does not remove mail from the server).  I can log into the web interface for the account (it is an old university account), and mail that I have received since noon yesterday is there, all the same stuff as I've been receiving on my phone, but which does not appear in Mail.  The weirdest thing about this this is that there is no error: Mail reports that it is successfully connecting to and logging into the server--Connection Doctor gives the account a green light.  Yet I know that there is uncollected mail on the server.  Any suggestions about what could be going wrong will be most appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    PJW

    Hi Neville, thanks for the suggestion.  I had not tried anything like this.  Unfortunately, it didn't solve the problem: I just got duplicate copies of all the emails on the problematic server up to the point at which they stopped downloading yesterday. 
    I should add that I have, of course, rebooted everything multiple times.  I also ran the "Rebuild" command from the Mailbox menu--just out of desparation, not totally clear about what it does.  All to no avail. 
    Can anyone think of anything else to try before contacting the tech people responsible for the server (who I expect will not be excited about helping an alumnus in another country, running an older Mac, experiencing a very weird problem).

  • Is there a way to prevent Mail from loading non system fonts?

    For over a year, and a system OS upgrade, Mail has been taking 7 - 10 minutes to load all the thousands of fonts I have on my computer for graphic design. This started with Snow Leopard on my 2009 Mac Pro (10 GB RAM, 2 TB HDD). At first I didn't know why the computer was taking such a long time to finish boot up. So I reformatted the drive--zeroing it out. Then I installed Mavericks and reinstalled everything else. Finally I tried logging the system activity during startup and noticed that something to do with fonts took up the biggest chunk of this time. Because Mavericks loads any programs you leave running at shut down, I saw that if Mail had the fonts window open, the list of fonts would slowly grow, filling up with the many font families I use for my work. I called tech support for my font management utility but they say the fonts are not in the system and and shouldn't affect the system during startup. In the end I gave up and just go drink a few coffees after hitting the start button. It's like going back to the early days 25 years ago.
    Can I stop Mail from loading any non-system fonts? I never use anything but the default font.

    Hey SchenkerBob,
    It is possible to disable non-system fonts temporarily for all applications using the Font Book application. This article explains how to do so -
    Mac Basics: Font Book - Apple Support
    In particular -
    Disable and enable specific fonts
    In situations where you'd like to prevent a font from being available in applications, but you don't want to completely remove the font from your Mac, you can use Font Book to disable the font.
    In Font Book, click "All Fonts" in the Collection column.
    Click the name of the font in the Font column.
    Choose Disable "Font Name" Family from the Edit menu.
    Since it might be problematic to have to disable each font individually, you can create a collection of fonts and disable the collection. See the article for how to create a font collection -
    Organize fonts as collections
    When working with fonts, you may discover that you use certain fonts frequently, but rarely use others. To make it easier to find the font you are looking for, you can organize your fonts into collections.
    From the Font Book File menu, choose New Collection.
    Type in a name for the new collection.
    Click "All Fonts" in the Collection column.
    Drag the fonts that you want from the Font column onto the name of your new collection in the Collection column.
    You can then disable collections of fonts -
    You can also disable or enable all fonts in a collection: Click the name of the collection in the Collection column, then choose Disable "Collection Name" or EnableCollection Name" " from the Edit menu. 
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Happy computing,

  • Ping a SCCM Collection and mail the results

    I would like a make a runbook that take a collection (No hardware scanned for 15 days), ping all computers in the collection and mail the result to me.
    The runbook steps are as followed:
    1) Get Collection Member
    2) Get Computer/IP Status
    3) Send Email
    My problem is now, that I recieved a mail for every computer that answers in ping. This is, I guess, expected behavior, as "Send Email" is trigged every time the "Get IP Status" is a success.
    But how do I collection all results from "Get IP Status" and gather it in 1 mail?
    The flatten option doesnt seem to help here, and the multiple runbooks seems like a overkill solution for such a relative simple task. Is there something I overlooked?
    Thanks!

    Easiest way (in my opinion) would be to use two policies
    Policy One
    1)  Trigger Policy (Set Flatten with your wanted delimiter) 
    2)  Send Email
    Policy Two
    1) Get Collection Member
    2) Get Computer/IP Status
    3) Return Data (one return parameters, add published data from both 'Get Collection Member' and 'Get Computer / IP Status')

  • Phantom Blank Spam blocking Mail from retrieving new mail in Apple Mail

    Over the past few days my wife and I have both had difficulties downloading pop-3 mail from our accounts (from a UK based ISP, UKonline) onto our separate computers (Powerbook G4 and MacBook). I have no idea yet whether this is affecting other ISPs or other Mac or PC platforms or mail clients, but it is definitely affecting both of our Mail apps running under 10.4.7.
    The problem seems to revolve around blank email messages being received into our respective accounts by at our ISPs mail server.
    These blank messages, presumably some form of spam have no sender, no recipient, no date, no source code, no body text and no subject.
    These 'phantom' blank emails appear to be the root of the problem as once they are manually removed from our server-side inbox (either through Apple Mail's 'Get Info' / 'Remove from Server' function, or via our ISPs webmail facility), the email starts picking up mail automatically again–immediately, without any other intervention other than clicking 'Get Mail'. Until they are removed, Apple Mail will NOT collect any more mail, automatically or manually through 'Get Mail'.
    I have contacted my ISP and to date had no firm response from them. One of their operatives suggest I contact Apple as his Windows PC email still works and retrieves mail when these blank phantom messages reach his server-side inbox waiting to be collected.
    The fact that these messages have no date means that under Mail's 'Get Info' / 'Remove from Server' facility, they always appear at the top with the CURRENT date and time when sorted by date. In this way, they are easy to spot. Also, if sorted by size, they also appear at the top because they are 0k in size. They appear to act as a blockage to receiving new mail until they are cleared.
    I'd be grateful to hear if anyone else is having this problem or has found a solution to it, or indeed whether this is an ISP problem.
    With thanks

    Hello Jamie.
    These 'phantom' blank emails appear to be the root of the problem
    as once they are manually removed from our server-side inbox
    (either through Apple Mail's 'Get Info' / 'Remove from Server' function,
    or via our ISPs webmail facility), the email starts picking up mail
    automatically again–immediately, without any other intervention
    other than clicking 'Get Mail'. Until they are removed, Apple Mail
    will NOT collect any more mail, automatically or manually through
    'Get Mail'.
    What is your setting for removing messages from the server when downloaded by the Mail.app?
    If set to right away, does this have any effect?
    One of their operatives suggest I contact Apple as his Windows
    PC email still works and retrieves mail when these blank
    phantom messages reach his server-side inbox waiting to be collected.
    Of course - especially if this operative is using Microsoft's Outlook or OE which usually don't have problems downloading anything including viruses, adware and spyware.
    I'm not sure why these "Ghost" spam messages cause this problem with the Mail.app but these are obviously sent by a spammer to cause problems.
    How about your ISP doing something about blocking all messages at the incoming mail server that are completely blank such as these so they don't arrive in any of their customer's Inbox mailbox at the server since these messages are intended to cause problems and are completely blank anyway? No different from any other type of spam or as messages are scanned for viruses at the server. Although Apple needs to look into this, your ISP is not completely off the hook or has no responsibility IMO.

  • Problem sending mail from within C#

    Sorry, I am posting this question for the second time !!!!
    I have constructed a snippet that sends mail from within C#.In My script, there are will be several receivers of my mail. The script will read from a file, mail addresses and send mail to each individual contained in the file. As test I run the script with
    two mail addresses in the file,one my own and the second with outlook mail. However, the result is I get the mail but the second receiver  never gets it.
       What is the problem ????

  • How restore aol sent mac mail from time machine?

    I am using mac mail and an imap connection to aol.  I also have a time capsule and use time machine for backing up. Yesterday I stopped receiving incoming mail in mac mail and tried deleting the aol account in mac mail and then setting it up fresh.  I was shocked to find that my 25,000 AOL sent emails did not restore! I was told by an apple genius bar rep several months ago that once mail was on my machine that the emails would NEVER be lost.  Apparently this is not true.  When I open mac mail and go into my time capsule using time machine, however, do not see the SENT mail icon under AOL--it goes away?  When I try to restore the aol mail from the day before the incident the only thing that comes up is the one Sent Mail mssg that I sent AFTER the deleting and restoring of my AOL account in mac mail. The only relevant post I have found is the one below which was posted in 2008.  Please let me know there is a way to get back my sent messages.  I can't get them directly from the aol server because the server does not save messages that are sent from any client but AOL. Thanks.

    Restoring Apple Mail and Your Emails from Time Machine
    filed under: How-To tags: mail, timemachine Tuesday, January 29, 2008, 11:31 am
    UPDATE (25 August 2010): Please note that this post is well over 2 years old and as Tim pointed out in the comments below, this method may not be the best solution for restoring emails. According to his restore efforts, changes where made to the timestamp from the date in which they were received to the date in which they were restored. I have not tested this myself.
    The hard drive on my PowerBook completely died the other day, but I luckily had been running Time Machine backups since upgrading to Leopard. (I wasn’t all that ****** off seeing as I was eager for an excuse to replace my wimpy 40Gb hard drive with a new 160Gb drive). I fumbled a bit, looking for a specific Apple Mail restore tool. I knew where all my emails lived, but I thought that Apple would have a specific means for restoring apps like Mail. So I created this mini-tutorial on how to restore Apple Mail from Time Machine simply because I could not find this method elsewhere.
    Supposedly, If you attach your Time Machine backup drive, open Apple Mail then launch the Time Machine application, you are presented with historical views of Apple Mail. This did not work for me, the historical views were just blank, so the steps below do not take this approach.
    Restoring Your Emails from a Time Machine Backup
    Warning: If you have already setup Apple Mail with your accounts and preferences, this will negate ALL your doings.
    Note: This process will restore all your email accounts, preferences, passwords, smart mailboxes, etc.
    The How-To
    Before loading Time Machine, open the Finder and navigate to Home Folder (username) -> Library. In there will be a folder name “Mail”. Rename it to “Mail (default)” (Select the folder then hit the Return key to rename).
    Mount your Time Machine Backup Drive (ahem, plug it in).
    Control + Click the Time Machine Application and chose “Browse Other Time Machine disks…”. This, of course, brings up the historical view of your backups.
    Go back to your most recent backup (2nd window back) and navigate to Home Folder (username) -> Library. Select the “Mail” folder and click the restore button (bottom right).
    Once the restore is completed, open Apple Mail and you will be presented with an import wizard (below). Simply follow through the prompts and you will be good to go.
    That’s it!UPDATE (20-January-2009): After step 4., also restore ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plistThanks Jon C.
    If you have multiple mail accounts, you should also restore the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist file as well. This will ensure all of your account settings are imported. – Jon C.

    I could get back my 170 000 mails in 5 hours thanks to this post, after having tried for few hours without success…Bruno

    Don't try to restore the file; restore the Note. Go in Mail to the mailbox where the note belongs. Enter Time Machine from there and step back until you find the Note.

  • Pdf extension changes to .dat when send a file via e-mail from adobe acrobat 9

    to convert a file from microsoft word 2007 to PDF and send as an attachment via e-mail from adobe 9, the file is received with the extension changed to. dat, so recipients can not open it.
    Can anyone help me with this.

    What is the OS of the sending computer?
    What mail client?
    I receive plenty of files on my PC as .dat files, which come from Mac user(s), rename the extension to what I think they ought to be and have no further problem. (I cannot change the senders email settings where the problem originates)
    If the receiver knows it is a pdf file, they can drag it into Acrobat, but renaming the extension serves future use.

  • Cannot send mail from mac mail or Entourage

    Hi guys,
    Wondered if anyone out there can shed some light on this little problem.
    I use Entourage for my emails & all was working fine until yesterday. I can receive mail from all and sundry but I can't send anything. I subscribe to ntlworld internet service and if log onto my email through their webmail, then it's fine. I've tried sending mail from mac mail and I get the same problem. I've been onto microsoft support & gone through all the troubleshooting with Entourage. The Entourage techy suggested it was my internet provider blocking my emails as they think I'm a spammer?? I phoned ntl & they insist it's nothing to do with them as I can send/receive from the website. (If I send an email with the address @ntlworld it's fine, but any other address i.e. all my clients/mates etc just stays in my outbox.
    Nothing on any of my settings has changed so I'm at a loss what to do next.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Mel

    it may be that your server (internet provider) has just started blocking outgoing mails not authenticated by them.
    Go to your account set up...
    and fill in the following details.
    SMTP SERVER: smtp.mac.com
    then click on advanced sending otions...
    click on override default SMTP port... type 587
    click on SMTP servber requires authentication...
    use same setting as receiving mail server.
    try this...

  • Cannot send mail from icloud account using mail on my Macair using the new Lion software, cannot send mail from icloud account using mail on my Macair using the new Lion software

    I would like to delete the whole set of mails from my Macair. I am using Icloud account

    I'm glad you got it figured out. So many times people on this forum sit around waiting for help when they could have retraced their steps, like you did, to figure out the source of the problem.
