Connexion problems to POP server with mail but not Thunderbird...

Hello guys !
I have a problem with the server of my lab.. the connexion between Mail and the server doesn't work any more (used to work very nice a few weeks ago) and Mail say that the connexion to port 995 or even 110 was not possible because of a delay... do you know something new about such a problem ?
fact is, it works on thunderbird with the same settings and works sometimes with Mail on the WE (maybe there are less people using the server and it is more rapid ?) and it works all the time from my home...
Any idea about this problem ?
I had an answer on a Mail topic from somebody :
"In your case it definitely sounds like an issue of high traffic on the network (working on weekends, intermittently from home, etc.). It sounds like higher-capacity network hardware or more available bandwidth are needed. Mail.app might be more sensitive to dropped packets or slow connections; I don't know if that can be changed via a config file. You might try posting a separate post to get help from some folks who might know."
maybe his answer is of any help for someone who knows about all this...
Does somebody have an idea why thunderbird works and not Mail.app ? Is there something to do ?
Thanks for your help.

hello abd thanks for your interest.
the settings in Tbird are simple connexion to internet, no proxy settings... and the port is simply 25...
what is strange is that Mail.app used to work in my lab without a problem... I think the lab network (it's a special network for laptops...) is too slow, because it works in the morning and during the week-end... is it possible to change the setting in mail for the connexion ?
i'm getting mad with this problem.

  • Hi my road runner mail works with mail but not outlook for mac?

    This problem seems to have popped up after updating to Lion.  I like outlook because I use it at work and I like the calander right there. My exchange account for work and gmail account function well but road runner is an issue?  Does any one have experience with this issue?

    Sounds to me like the mail server you're trying to reach is not reachable when off the netwok it lives on. This is pretty common of you're using e-mail provided by your ISP. It's done to help control spam relaying through their servers. Contact the mail provider for the correct server settings to use on a mobile device.

  • Intermittent issues with sending mail on Mac Mail but not Thunderbird

    Some background: I have to use my ISP's SMTP server (AT&T) in order to send any mail out from my multiple email accounts. All emails are "validated" to use AT&T's SMTP server so there isn't any issue there. I cannot replicate this issue 100% of the time... it's about 20% of the time and has been experienced on both my Macs. When it does happen, outgoing email will either just hang (gear icon spins endlessly) or I get the SMTP server error message asking me to try another SMTP server (which I don't have).
    What is odd, I recently downloaded Thunderbird using the exact same settings as Mac Mail. Whenever Mac Mail hangs, I try sending an email from Thunderbird and it works just fine. I have also tried sending email from my iPhone while in "airplane mode" and it works just fine.
    I have performed connection doctor, keychain repair, deleted and reentered the SMTP info. So before I dump Mac Mail (which I'd rather not do) and go to Thunderbird, I would be curious if anyone has any suggestions?
    Thx!

    Now following another similar thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2774396&start=0&tstart=0. Changed settings to MobileMe's IMAP default settings. Been working for 3-4 days. Hope it continues.

  • I can use Mail at home, no problem. But when I travel, I can receive mail but not send it. I get a "server can't be reached" message. Yet when I send a photo using iPhoto, it gets sent. Help!!

    To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try the following:
    *Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
    ; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.

    Sorry for the delay...
    I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
    I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
    Thanks for the help, anyway!!

    Who is your email provider? Have you set up your account manually or was it set up automatically?

  • Problems using smtp server in Mail

    Hi, I'm using Mail on my iMac (Leopard) with a POP account for my incoming mail, and an smtp-server for the outgoing mails. Everything works fine.
    Now I've also bought a new MacBook. I setup the Mail account exactly the same as on the iMac. I can recieve mails, but not send them? When I use Connection Doctor in Mail I get green markers for both incoming and outgoing servers. It says that the connection with the smtp server is fine. Still when I try to send mail it gets stuck in "Sending...", no error messages, nothing.
    When I go back to the iMac, I can still send without problems.
    Anyone have any solutions?
    I can add that if I connect my 3G module for mobile internet to the MacBook and change the smtp server accordingly to that service provider, it sends mail without problems.

    UPDATE: I was able to set up the account using Eudora, and it worked fine. I guess it means that there's something funny happing with Mail.

    Out of the blue today, my gmail will not send.  I recently upgraded to Mavericks. But I have not had problems until today.  I can receive mail but not send. Any easy suggestions of what to do?

    I have been having the exact same problem for weeks now with gmail.  None of my computers will send Gmail (they will recieve) and my Maverick computers (10.9.1) show gmail smtp.gmail.com as "offline".  I had installed Post Box and apple support thought it was that i had too many accounts (I have 2 ipads, an iphone (latest iOs), a work and home iMac and a powerbook).  I disabled all my gmail accounts in Mail and still no go from PostBox either . I tried connection doctor and it just spins for outgoing and say I either haveve the wrong pw or login - I dont.  I terminaled and tested port 465 (according to gmail instructions) and it works (port 25 did not).  I can access gmail from the webmail and send/recieve mail from it and it shows up in my webmail outbox. It is configured for imap.I just cannot send mail at all from any gmail account from any apple device using Mail (or PostBox). I am at a loss as was the apple support person who wished me good luck very politely and sympathetically.

    Hi,
    It may pay to send a Screen Shot of the Connection Doctor info.  (see the Window Menu)
    It would seem the IMAP or POP side is logged in bit the out going STMP server is not.

  • Move graphics with text--but not inline--in PM...??

    Hello, is there a way in PageMaker to move graphics with text but not inline? I ask because right now I see two options for graphics:
    --inline, so you cannot place the graphic exactly where you want AND the text only flows way above or below--but not next to--the graphic
    or
    --independent so you can place the graphic exactly where you want and the text DOES flow right next to the graphic, but then the graphic doesn't move with the text
    I'd like to be able to place graphics exactly where I want AND have them move with the text, like the "Move object with text" option in Word.
    thank you!
    L

    well it has been a while since i used PageMaker so i didn't realize it was "dead."
    though i'm not surprised and am kind of glad. i was hired into a new job recently
    to work on a department newsletter, and i'm trying to find a good authoring program
    within our budget. right now the newsletter is in Word but we've had a lot of problems
    with Word so i'm seeking an alternate solution. i'd like Frame but again there isn't
    enough money in the budget. i need a good option that is $500 or less...i'm trying Publisher
    now too but not enough functionality...
