Configure ipage domain imap account with mac mail client

I have a new website with ipage and would like to configure my new domain imap email on my mac mail client. Neither Apple nor Ipage support have been able to resolve why the outgoing server will not send messages. All variations of settings have been tried. I think it may be an SSL issue, but whichever, it must be possible to set up such an account. Anyone? Please?

Shootist007,
I too loaded sparrow and it did seem to work fine with my (multiple) Gmail accounts and the folder/labels looked great (they do allow you to separate your inboxes/labels) with just a keystroke??---What I found was their HELP files were as MINIMAL as their program (fine for the more experienced I am sure) 
I spent several hours!!! trying to figure out how to move the inbox messages to the (FOLDERS)??? I gave up!!
IF ANYONE KNOWS THE STEPS FOR DOING THIS I may well try the program again as it did seem to behave with Gmail/multiple accounts/personal domain quite well!
I will download thunderbird and give it a go in the morning
Thanks for the quick response!

  • Using two gmail accounts in Mac Mail client, smtp server issue

    I've set up two gmail accounts (one personal, one from my job) in Mac Mail. The personal account is set up via POP, the job account is IMAP. I receive mail into each account with no problem. However Mac Mail won't allow me to set up two separate smtp.gmail.com servers (one for each account). If I edit my SMTP server list and try to change either account individually, it changes BOTH accounts. So I can receive with no problem, but can only send mail from both accounts from ONE account (which ever one I've programed). Is there a way to set up two SMTP severs through gmail (one for each account)?

    I have two separate ones set for password authentication to two different accounts.
    In your smtp server list, how many are listed? If only one, click the add button and set it up for the other account.

  • Users Having Troubling Sending Email with Mac Mail Client with Godaddy

    Hello,
    I recently had issues' with my mail and my new Mac Pro and sending emails from www.godaddy.com. I tried 4 email clients and could retrieve my emails but the outgoing mail server keep rejecting my password. After I almost switch email companies I called one last person from godaddy. The support person James M suggested deleting the account in my email manager on godaddy system and re-created the account and everything works fine. Please note, to back up emails before doing this. I think something is corrupting something in the server that requires the deletion of the email account that is only effecting 10.64 users.
    Best of luck,
    M

    Have GoDaddy reset the SMTP relays to 0 (zero), then back up to 250 (or whatever your limit is). This reset the password authentication and emails were sent fine afterwards. Good luck.

  • Help with imap gmail account via mac mail

    What are the best settings for gmail as imap in mac mail?
    I have my gmail account set up with mac Mail as an IMAP account.
    I notice that in the last few weeks?? not sure how long, my mac mail is taking forever to load.  I opened the activity window and it seems like there are so many things happening.  I did find an old account that was still had some activity and while I had delteed it, I did need to do a few more steps to get it out of the process.
    Now, as it still seems to take forever for my inbox to fully load, I began looking into the settings. 
    I am not able to change the settings for trash and I think saving the deleted messages to the server could be a waste of time.  This is the advanced setttings page
    the trash is 'grayed out' and won't allow me to uncheck the 'store deleted messages on the server'.  Anyone know how to change this?
    Also, I want to uncheck 'store sent messages on the server' as I think that will save a LOT of process activity, but gmail's directions for imap accounts says to leave it checked.  Not sure why, any thoughts?

    I'm not familiar with CalbeOne, but you can follow the instructions they provided at their site:
    http://help.cableone.net/HSD/mycableone/migrate/default.aspx
    You might also want to make sure you followed their transfer instructions.
    Build your accounts in Mail as per the POP or IMAP settings provided. When adding accounts to Mail, when you get to the first screen, you can hold the option key down when you hit continue for more options on the Mail configurations rather than the standard defaults.
    If you are viewing these accounts at the gmail website, then you might need to do some configuration there also. I'm not sure on how much they are integrated with gmail.

  • Using only IMAP account with Mail app

    Hello,
    I am attempting to get the Windows 8.1 Mail App to allow me to configure only an IMAP email account as the primary account. I have enabled the Group Policy setting to allow to App to run without a Microsoft Account but when I open the mail account and try
    to log in, it doesn't ask for incoming/outgoing servers, just one, and it will not accept either the IMAP or SMTP server that my organization runs. I am able to add the IMAP account if I first log in with a Microsoft account but since we already have domain
    accounts, I do not want to have to set each user up with a Microsoft account. Is there a way to just configure an IMAP account for the Mail App or does is have to be Exchange or Microsoft?
    Thanks!

    when I open the mail account and try to log in, it doesn't ask for incoming/outgoing servers, just one, and it will not accept either the IMAP or SMTP server that my organization runs.
    Hi,
    I made a test in our testing enviroment, please just add a mail account you have, when added successfully, you can choose to add a new mail account, it contains the settings for IMAP you can choose.

  • Exchange Server not working with Mac mail

    Any tips on how exchange can work work with mac mail? I get connection errors.

    Hello Phil.
    Copied from Mail Help.
    An Exchange account allows you to connect to your Exchange server via IMAP, and if you enter text in the Outlook Web Access Server field, Mail filters non-email related content from the server. (You can get the text you need to enter from your mail account provider.) For Exchange to work with Mail, Exchange administrators need to configure the Exchange server for IMAP access. Some system administrators may refer to an Outlook Web Access Server as an Internet Information Services (IIS) server.
    Is the Exchange Server configured for IMAP access?

  • Can I set up an email account in Mac mail if it already exists in mac for outlook?

    Can I set up an email account in mac mail if it already exists in mac outlook or do I need to delete the outlook account first? I have tried to set it up and its not working.

    Mail and Outlook are two different applications, so you can maintain the same account in both, incl sending and receiving.
    What matters is that the setup is correct. E.g., is it a POP3 or IMAP account? By default, IMAP stores all mails on the (ISP's) server, while POP3 usually deletes it there after it's been received. So, with IMAP you'd easily have your mails everywhere, in every client, while with POP3 it's only in the client which you used most recently, so to speak.

    Outgoing ports are...

  • Can't set up Yahoo account on Mac Mail

    Here's hoping someone can help!!
    I'm trying to set up my Yahoo account on Mac Mail and my week old Mac (running OS X 10.10/Yosemite) is simply refusing to let me!
    I've tried adding the account through Add Account in the Mail app, and by adding it through System Preferences: it either simply keeps returning to the initial set up screen (Mail) or it says 'Cannot connect to the server 'Unknown' (System Preferences).
    I have had a look through the all the help pages, but I can't find anything which might help me out - can anyone make a suggestion?!
    I have set up my business email (IMAP) and that is working fine.  I have also got my Yahoo account on my MacBook and it works fine so I'm fairly confident it's nothing to do with my Yahoo account...
    What am I doing wrong?!
    Thanks in advance...

    Typically, right after I posted this, I managed to do it!!
    For the benefit of anyone else: rather than choosing Yahoo from the menu, I clicked 'Add Another Account' (thinking I could manually add the IMAP settings|) and it worked...didn't even need to input them myself...

  • Adding account in  Mac Mail

    How can I add a new account in Mac Mail please? 
    Using a Macbook Pro, Yosemite, and latest version of Mail.

    Hi gaginker, 
    Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    Here's how to add a new email account in the Mail application:
    To add another account, choose Mail > Add Account, select an account type, then enter your account information. Make sure the Mail checkbox is selected for the account. 
    If you already use an account on your Mac with other apps, such as Notes or Messages, you can also use the account with Mail. Choose Mail > Accounts to open Internet Accounts preferences, select the account on the left, then select the Mail checkbox on the right.
    From:
    Mail (Yosemite): Set up Mail with your email accounts
    Depending on your email provider, you may need to find out the settings mentioned in this article:
    Mail settings you might need from your email provider - Apple Support
    For some email providers, you might need to know certain settings when setting up Mail. You can use the worksheet in this article to find out which settings you need.
    Mail automatically configures your email accounts based on your email address for many email providers. If the information is not readily available, Mail prompts you to enter additional settings such as incoming and outgoing mail server addresses. You need to know these settings in order to set up Mail manually. This information comes from your email provider (such as Yahoo or Hotmail).

  • Accessing my hotmail.co.uk account through mac mail - deeply frustrated!!!

    Hello everyone, and thanks for your patience as I know very similar queries have been answered already in previous discussions.
    I have just bought my first mac after years of pc use.
    I would love to be able to access my hotmail.co.uk account through mac mail on os x tiger.
    However, despite following all previous posts as accurately as I possibly can, this still won't work. For this reason, I have transcribed absolutely everything I enter into the account setup below, to see if anyone can detect why this isn't working.
    I have downloaded httpmail (http://www.automagic-software.com/products.php) as suggested on previous posts.
    Also as suggested on a previous discussion, I have set mail to run using rosetta, to help deal with any complications I may face using my intel macbook.
    My email address is [email protected]
    Now, when I go to set up my account on mail, I enter:
    PAGE 1: GENERAL INFORMATION
    Account type: httpmail
    Account description: Hotmail acccount
    Full name: Alistair White
    Email address: [email protected]
    PAGE 2: INCOMING MAIL SERVER
    Incoming mail server: www.hotmail.co.uk
    Username: awhitetbn
    Password: ******
    I am then presented with the account summary:
    Account description: Hotmail account
    Full name: Alistair White
    Email address: [email protected]
    Username: awhitetbn
    Incoming mail server: www.hotmail.co.uk
    SSL: off
    Outgoing mail server: services.msn.com:awhitetbn
    SSL: off
    Next page: Conclusion: a new account has been created.
    Ok! All seems well, so I send a test email. However, I get the following message:
    Cannot send message using the server services.msn.com:awhitetbn
    Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server.
    However, in the pop-up menu, the only option I have is:
    send message using: HTTPmail:awhitetbn
    I would dearly love this to work and I sense I am not far from the solution... If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. Where am I going wrong?
    Many many thanks
    Alistair White

    If you selected the Universal version of the httpmail plugin for download which installs a combination version that is compatible with Intel or PPC Macs , there is no reason to set the Mail.app to run under Rosetta on your Intel Mac.
    The sending problem is with your internet service provider and not the Mail.app or the httpmail plugin.
    Do you have access to an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your internet service provider used for connecting to the internet and if so, have you used your ISP's email account in the past with an email client on a Windows PC or via webmail access for the account?
    Most if not all ISPs now block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP on Port 25 which is the default or standard port used for all SMTP servers. Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only that is outside of their network on Port 25 but some block its use regardless. These restrictions are part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
    First option to try.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your Hotmail account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below for the Hotmail SMTP server.
    Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
    If this doesn't work and you have access to an email account and SMTP server provided by your ISP, you can create/access your ISP's account with the Mail.app or at least add your ISP's SMTP server to the Mail.app as an available SMTP server to choose from.
    Select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send messages with your Hotmail account and with any email account not provided by your ISP.

  • Any way to sync Novell NetMail with Mac Mail?

    My university uses Novell NetMail as it's email service for our student accounts. I'd like to be able to set up this account in Mac Mail as it's much easier to check.
    Any help? I can't seem to find out their incoming/outgoing server info or anything that Mac Mail needs to set up an new email account.

    Hey Jaynne,
    I don't know the perfect answer for your question, BUT you could do the following-
    - Forward email on Novell Netmail to another email account where you do know the POP or IMAP settings.
    Here's how to forward on Netmail 3.5:
    http://www.novell.com/documentation/netmail35/index.html?page=/documentation/net mail35/netmail35cp/data/amxz99s.html
    On the other hand:
    POP and IMAP are supported by NetMail, so I assume the computer services group would have the information necessary to configure Apple Mail.

  • Disable the IMAP folders in Mac Mail?

    Hey all.
    This is almost a follow up to my other question I asked previously. With Leopard, when I automatically added a Gmail account to mail, it would sync right up no questions asked, and when I wanted to manage the mail on the server, I would have to go to gmail.com or whatever to do so.
    Now with SL, when I added my accounts back, the IMAP folders show up and keep everything synced on the website with Mac Mail. Call me counter productive but I prefer them separate like it was before SL. All the IMAP folders are confusing and I prefer like it was with just inboxes and sent boxes. This make any sense to anyone?
    By the way, I disabled IMAP on Gmails end, but it causes my account to stop working altogether in Mail.

    My question is, why is IMAP enabled by default anyway? Mail was FINE. It handled multiple gmail accounts FINE. Now I have 2 copies of everything in 2 different In Box's, I can see the dumb folder gmail sets up for each account. NOT what I want (it set this all up in the automatic setup dialog that opens when I open Mail and I cannot find a way around it).
    It's been said a MILLION times, but I'll say it again: IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT.

  • IMap Gmail and Mac Mail - email pileup.

    I added my gmail account to mac mail as an imap acount thinking that it would be easier to keep my emails synced with the server. It was working well for a while, but then I started to notice something. On the sidebar in mail there is the MAILBOXES section with the inbox, sent, trash and junk folders. Then below that there is the section called MYACCOUNT and in it is the [Gmail] folder with the All Mail, drafts, sent mail, spam, starred, and trash folders.
    I have found that over time the 'All Mail' folder in this section fills up with all my mail, including the spam. The spam stays there even after I have deleted it from the spam folder so that now, with only 3000 emails in my inbox, there are 14000 + emails in the 'all mail' folder.
    Does anyone know why these emails seem to pile up like that or how I can stop it from happening?
    Thanks,
    Alwaysapple

    Unless you need to access all your mail across several different computers or locations, IMAP is not the best solution. You should set this up as a POP3 account and be sure to set your preferences for each account to delete mail from the server (Gmail) after you retrieve it.
    There are many reasons advantages to using IMAP as opposed to POP3 even if you're using a single computer.
    Online backups
    Saved drafts
    Remote access via webmail and alternative clients if you don't have your computer with you
    Faster--download meta data (subject, etc.) and then the message body
    The list gets really long if you start looking at the advantages in the case of multiple email clients, which just about everyone has now. The majority of email users have computers and home and at work, and a pretty substantial chunk of them have portable (think iPhone) or web-based clients that they also use.
    I'm sorry to say it, but recommending POP3 over IMAP as a better protocol demonstrates your lack of knowledge of subject matter. Thanks for piping in, but people here aren't looking that kind of help.

  • I am using a mac mini (10.8.3) with Mac Mail 6.3 (1503).  Whenever I try to forward an email with attachments, the attachments do not make it.  They show being sent, but the attachments never are sent.

    Hey Guys,
    The title says it all.  Whenever I receive an email with attachments, I will try to forward the email to someone with the attachments.  Mac Mail shows that the attachments are attached, but the receiver says the attachments are not there. Our mail host is Rackspace.  We are setup with IMAP.  It should be noted that we are experiencing similar issues with OS 10.5.8 with Mac Mail 3.6 (936).
    We assumed Rackspace was the problem, so we logged into their webmail portal and tested it and the attachments were received as normal, which points everything back to Mac Mail.  We even had an ISP change but the problem do not change.
    I have researched the problem, and there seems to be evidence of this being a known bug with Mac Mail, but I am hoping there is a workaround.  The company is unwilling to move to a different mail client since they use Daylite 4, which does not support Thunderbird.

    Back up all data.
    1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
    2. Repeat with this line:
    /Library/Mail/Bundles
    This time you may be prompted for your login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.
