Combination force quit requirement and emails not being delivered problem

I'm actually having a few problems simultaneously today:
1. Mail needs to be force quit. - Someone in another post mentioned that he used a Mail Envelope Index reset to solve that problem, so if someone else knows what that is, how to do it, please tell me.
2. One of my mail accounts hasn't downloaded to Mail since 10:49 am this morning, but keeps downloading the same message, which is a mail undeliverable message. At 10:48 am I sent a single message to 8 addresses. One of the 8 was a bad address on comcast, and I keep getting a message delivered over and over again with a time of 10:49 am showing that it was undeliverable. In fact, even if I delete the ones I received, they come back again plus a new undelivered one each time I restart Mail. No other mail has come down on that account since 10:49 am. My ISP says that all looks fine on the server, although I see other messages listed there when I look using Safari that I don't see in my Apple Mail inbox. The ISP is resetting the server account between now and 2 a.m., but I'm sure that's not the problem, and that something related to that undeliverable mail message that I keep getting is blocking the rest of the mail from coming down or showing. Anything I can try while I'm waiting for their reset of my server account to finish?

I spoke too soon. There is still one problem, that I see someone else also posted back a few weeks ago. I continue to get many Mail Delivery System messages in my inbox, all dated back at the point where my mail problem started, yesterday at 10:49 a.m. I delete them, empty the deleted messages, ,but they just keep showing up, the whole group plus new ones. I know that there was a Windows virus that did this, could there be a Mac one? If not, does anyone else have a clue how to stop this? The other guy who posted this problem also had the mail refusing to quit issue that I had before, so they are probably related.

  • Sent emails not being delivered from Outlook

    For the past week emails sent from Outlook although appearing in my Sent mailbox are not being delivered.  This is not a problem where emails are sent from my iphone.  I have made no settings changes.  This seems to be a familiar problem but research has not produced a solution as most people give up.
    I am using a Windows 8 laptop with Outlook 2013.  I have set up numerous new accounts with automated settings with no success.
    Please help!!

    I too knowingly have had this problem since at least 19/1/2015.
    I have Windows 7 with Outlook 2013 and two BT accounts plus Sky and Google accounts (for fallback). All have functioned well for the past three years.
    No changes to my PC have been made for at least 6 months (apart from MS updates).
    My wife's laptop runs Windows 7 with Outlook 2010 and has found the same issue. At a Womens Instutute meeting last night in the village it became apparent (without my wife initiating the issue) that a number of other BT eMail account customers have the same problem too.
    I spent about an hour yesterday trying various combinations of operation to confirm the issues. I have found:
    1 - eMails sent from either BT account self addressed will bounce back the eMails (presumably from the BT Server)
    2 - eMails sent from either BT account to BT accounts will not forward (send/deliver)
    3 - eMails sent from either BT account to non BT addresses will not forward (but will bounce back if the self address is included in the addresses showing that at least the eMail is reaching the BT mail server).
    4 - eMails sent from Outlook through Sky and Google systems are being received by the BT system and recieved into the Outlook BT accounts.
    5 - All eMails sent in Outlook appear in the Sent box
    6 - eMails sent from Webmail accounts all work normally
    All these tests can be replicated on my wife's laptop with other BT and non-BT addresses.
    I then spent about an hour whilst a BT Technician (ABHISHEK SEN) through CHAT accessed my PC, checked all settings and declared no fault found.
    Later I spent another hour on the phone to the BT Help Desk (with VIKRAM) who did much of the same, declared that there was a problem and that I would have to hire a local PC expert technician to come and sort out the problem on my PC. He would not acknowledge that there just might be a problem with the BT eMail Server system.
    Finally the only common thread is that the BT accounts are sub-accounts of my main account and that I pay the bills - and of course the router and copper lines to the exchange.
    HOW OR WHERE DO I/WE RAISE THIS ISSUE WITH A HIGHER AUTHORITY TO GET IT RESOLVED?
    Oh! And then there is the rest of the village and gwood's machine also need to have their similar issue resolved too.
    To use gwood's last paragraph: PLEASE HELP!!

  • Email not being delivered

    I am trying to send email from the icloud web mail.  all email is not being delivered.  When I send from iphone or ipad all works fine.  Icloud webmail can receive mail normally.  Email does show up in the sent mail folder but is not being delivered.

    I repeatedly and randomly have the same problem:
    1.   I send mail to another icloud user or to  some other recipient (e.g., yahoo mail).
    2.   The sent message appears in my iCloud.com Sent folder signifying that it was transmitted successfully.
    3.   The message is never delivered.
    4.   It does not appear in the recipient's Spam folder (or any other filter).
    5.   I never receive followup email from any server's postmaster indicating an error in transmission or reception.
    6.   The whole experience is purely silent -- "went to the bit bucket."
    There is no rhyme or reason to this.   The phenomenon is random but has repeated over a series of many months.   I could say that I am running 10.8.5, but it is an iCloud server event, not a local OS event.   The recipient might be running OS X, Linux, or Windows (etc).

  • After 1.1.1 update, image emails not being delivered

    just upgraded to the latest patch (1.1.1). Sending images) as email are not being delivered. I am using Yahoo for email. Anyone else see this?

    I've just switched SIM cards with someone else who is on P&G o2 and has an IPhone 5 running 6.1.2. My sim in their phone still won't send texts to the problem number yet their sim in my phone will? Think it might be a network issue?

  • HT4061 Emails not being delivered via mac mail - recipients claim not receiving

    A colleague and I have discovered over last 2 weeks issues with mac mail.
    Emails are not being received - but it appears to be RANDOM.
    We both use mac mail and have .me accounts.
    He sent a group email that I never received until 3 days later when another colleague NOT on mac mail replied to all and I saw that I never received original note.
    This colleague sent email to his attorney weeks ago -- and it was just delivered to his attorney's inbox YESTERDAY.
    The colleague has also send me a several SENSITIVE correspondences that he confirmed via phone last night that I have still NOT received.
    What is going on? is is a mac mail issue or an iCloud issue?
    Need some help to get this reported and resolved.
    thank you!

    Hi. Welcome to the forums.
    For info, CP (Critical Path) has been in use for a few months now for the conversion from using Yahoo! mail servers.
    What version of Outlook are you using ?
    In the smtp setting, try removing @btinternet.com or @btopenworld.com from the username - despite what the online help might say.
    You might like to try port 25, with No security or SSL/TLS setting.
    Is it all emails that are failing to send ?
    If emails have been fine for years, do you know what the previous settings were ?
    As for disabling firewalls - this doesn't always help - as they can still block emails! What security package are you using, and have you checked the settings within that package ?
    Sorry for the extra questions.

  • IMessage verification email not being delivered.

    I am trying to add another email address to my list of receiving iMessage email addresses and I can never receive the verification email Apple is supposed to send me to make that address active. I have tried numerous times and even look in the spam folder every time. I've seen other people post this same problem also. Hard to believe this is still an issue for a company with Apple's resources.

    I repeatedly and randomly have the same problem:
    1.   I send mail to another icloud user or to  some other recipient (e.g., yahoo mail).
    2.   The sent message appears in my iCloud.com Sent folder signifying that it was transmitted successfully.

  • Sent emails not being delivered from Outlook via S...

    Hi, is anyone else having issues with sent items via Outlook?
    My settings have been working fine for years and the Outlook account check does not show any issues, yet when I send emails they are not delivered. They're not in my Outbox and they go to sent items.
    I've tried reconfiguring for SSL, disabling all firewalls/HIPS/protection all to no avail.
    It's really annoying especially at this time of year - but tech support say they do not support Outlook and emails sent from the web client work OK.
    It can connect to mail.btinternet.com over port 25 and if i couldn't would get an error message in outlook so can only assume they are knocking around somewhere in the BT infrastructure.
    Would be useful if a track on emails was available...
    Any feedback on similar issues or advice would be gratefully received!
    Thanks
    Solved!

  • Verizon emails not being delivered

    I know this isnt really an OS X issue, but i'm kinda stumped. Our mail queue is filled with emails to verizon.net emails. Getting the error "450: requested mail action not taken-Try Later"
    I cant find any information anywhere. I have filled out the Verizon White Pages twice now... Once over 2 weeks ago. (found here - http://www2.verizon.net/micro/whitelist/request_form.asp?id=isp) and still nothing. Queue is filled with 30 Verizon emails now. I dont know if they are getting delivered or not, or if OS X is dumping them from the mail queue after X amount of days. (if so, users are not getting notified about it)
    What the... DId we end up on some block list or if Verizon is just being ultra aggressive with spam blocking or what... If anyone has any insight, please let me know. I'm banging my head against the wall!
    Thanks all!

    I'd like to know what the postfix delay is as well. I
    found this (http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html)
    but there are so many diffferent delays listed, I
    have no idea which is the correct one.
    Anyone have any insight to this??
    and...
    Well, that article and others are quite helpful in
    identifying the situation which seems to be that
    Verizon connects to the server at the MX record of
    the sender with a blank Mail From and a RCPT TO of
    the original sender.
    However, I can't fathom why my server would reject
    that. I even have an SPF record. Could it be the
    timeout?
    What is postfix's timeout?
    I think the discussion moved on from suspecting this, but just for completeness on the postfix command and timeout...
    The receiving server is probably using the rejectunverifiedsender option (tries a RCPT TO using the senders From: address)
    http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESSVERIFICATIONREADME.html
    In postfix, the timeout for a RCPT TO command is set by the smtprcpttimeout option with a default of 5 minutes. It is not very clear from the postfix doc whether that still applies when carried out within the rejectunverifiedsender option, but (from my understanding at this time) I would guess so.
    Although there is nothing to stop a busy server from having its default timeout reduced, (since verification of spoofed mail may be quite demanding), postfix does cache results - thereby being most efficient on large volume servers. Taking this into account, a reduction in the timeout value, on large volume servers, would have a relatively small benefit in terms of the overall processing going on.

    Thanks for responding....but isn't your potential solution designed for Windows users? I have a Mac.
    If it does apply to Mac, I am also hoping for something simpler as this could take weeks to isolate the problem and it would be more efficient to use another browser for mail
    Also, I should have added, this problem occurs only occasionally and seemingly only when I am taking some time to compose a message

  • ITunes will not quit properly in Mac OS X Yosemite - force quit required

    I upgraded to to Mac OS X Yosemite last week and have updated all of my other software as the updates became available.  Since the update, iTunes has not always worked properly (e.g., recognizing devices when they are plugged in).  However, the one consistent bug is that iTunes will not quit.  Regardless of how I try to quit the application (menu, dock, computer shut down/restart) it will not quit.  No beach ball appears and in the "force quit" menu it does not show as "not responding".  In fact, I can still continue to use iTunes after trying to quit the application.
    The only way to exit the application is by force quitting.  I would prefer to not continue to do this but I have been unable to find a solution.
    Thanks,
    Alan

    HI,
    just returned from work and saw that iTunes finally stopped. Don't know how long it took, but it shut down. It also sees know three of my four devices and i just started to update my iPhone to iOS 8.1. Now I have to wait and see what's going on. I will come back and give you a report.

  • Since my last software update, my iphoto 11 will not import any photos from any source. The circle just spins...when I go to force quit, it says iphoto not responding. Backed up iphoto library, uninstalled and reinstalled iphoto. Still not working. Help!

    Since my last software update, my iphoto 11 will not import any photos from any source. The circle just spins...when I go to force quit, it says iphoto not responding. Backed up iphoto library, uninstalled and reinstalled iphoto. Still not working. Help!

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Lion Server postfix mail not being delivered to mailboxes. "SMTP restriction `reject_invalid_helo_hostname' after `permit' is ignored" and "connect to private/policy: Connection refused" errors.

    All, Im stumped. In fact I have been on the phone with Apple Support and this has been escalated to the top engineers, as I think its got them too..
    Anyway, here is my problem..
    I'm running an Mac Mini with OS X 10.7.4 Server. I have had mail running on it for 2 months or so, without any issues. The mail was actually migrated from 10.6 in March, and It actually went smoothly. I have 3 domains which all recieve mail and they all work (or did up until 2 weeks ago)..
    So the story is this.. I can send mail from my domains, without issue.  imap and dovecot must be working.. cause all the stored mail, can be read with the mail IMAP client.. I can even transfer mail messages from one mailbox to another with Mail client. Sending mail is a breeze, it still works and the recipients still recieve their mail. But I noticed I wasnt getting any mail at all from those mailboxes... no mail, no spam, nothing.. which is unusal. I fired up Server admin and checked out the SMTP log, and this is what it showed for every email recieved: (xxxxxx is just me hiding sensitive info)

    Ok, now what is odd, is these rejected messages are not even appearing in the mail queue in Server Admin. I have no idea why there are not being delivered
    Ive checked my postfix main.cf file and master.cf files they both look ok.. Ive even replaced them with the main.cf.defualt.10.7 and master.cf.default.10.7 files and to no avail... same problem..
    So in summary
    I can send mail out
    IMAP is working on the client end (thus dovecot is) exsisting stored emails can be accessed, read, moved unread etc..
    mail is coming into the sever, but its being rejected. there is NO rejection email sent back to the sender.
    mail is recieved by postfix, but cyrus isnt doing anything with it.. I have no idea where it goes...
    Could anyone shed light on this...

    # If this parameter is defined, then the SMTP server will reject
    # mail for unknown local users. This parameter is defined by default.
    # To turn off local recipient checking in the SMTP server, specify
    # local_recipient_maps = (i.e. empty).
    # The default setting assumes that you use the default Postfix local
    # delivery agent for local delivery. You need to update the
    # local_recipient_maps setting if:
    # - You define $mydestination domain recipients in files other than
    #   /etc/passwd, /etc/aliases, or the $virtual_alias_maps files.
    #   For example, you define $mydestination domain recipients in   
    #   the $virtual_mailbox_maps files.
    # - You redefine the local delivery agent in master.cf.
    # - You redefine the "local_transport" setting in main.cf.

    # with the "ifconfig" command.
    # Specify "mynetworks_style = class" when Postfix should "trust" SMTP
    # clients in the same IP class A/B/C networks as the local machine.
    # Don't do this with a dialup site - it would cause Postfix to "trust"
    # your entire provider's network.  Instead, specify an explicit

    # mask specifies the number of bits in the network part of a host
    # address.

    # By default, Postfix relays mail
    # - from "trusted" clients (IP address matches $mynetworks) to any destination,
    # - from "untrusted" clients to destinations that match $relay_domains or
    #   subdomains thereof, except addresses with sender-specified routing.
    # The default relay_domains value is $mydestination.
    # In addition to the above, the Postfix SMTP server by default accepts mail
    # that Postfix is final destination for:
    # - destinations that match $inet_interfaces or $proxy_interfaces,
    # - destinations that match $mydestination
    # - destinations that match $virtual_alias_domains,

    # (parent) domain appears as lookup key.

    # In the case of SMTP, specify a domain, host, host:port, [host]:port,

    # database, then the NIS alias database. See aliases(5) for syntax
    # details.
    # If you change the alias database, run "postalias /etc/aliases" (or
    # wherever your system stores the mail alias file), or simply run

    Ok 1st one. The warning restriction message relates to this line in main.cf:
    smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated  permit_mynetworks  check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_access  reject_non_fqdn_hostname  reject_invalid_hostname  permit reject_invalid_helo_hostname
    The last reject occurs after the single word "permit" and is ignored.
    However, that's not the problem.
    I'm not exactly sure what's happening, but this might be a clue.
    It would appear that either postfix is not being able to create the socket for private/policy or it's somehow created with the wrong permissions.  You might need to ramp up the debug level to get a better idea.
    You could check if it's being created by "netstat -a | grep private/policy" in terminal.
    My guess is that it's not being created because there is no setup statement in your master.cf file, but I don't understand why postfix would be looking for it if it isn't set up.  Private/policy I think relates to grey listing.  Maybe gives you a hint.
