Disable IMAP Error Mail

Since connecting our new ERP to out Exchange 2010 Server our users are getting the following Mail from time to time.
"The name of one or more of your folders includes the character "/" or more than 250 characters. Folders with names that include this character can't be downloaded to your IMAP e-mail program. Please rename these folders:"
Since our users won't change their folder names, we'd like to suppress the mail being sent.
So - is there a way to turn it off?

Yes, I've seen this too, before. Doesn't help me, since this is not a Blackberry related problem, but an Exchange related one. I think that the statement, that the server is not sending the mail, is wrong.
The only other thing that I could find about it was
this
Why do I get an error when downloading my folders in Outlook Express using IMAP?
IMAP doesn't let you view / subscribe to folders with a "/" in them or if they are more than 250 characters.
Exchange 2007 doesn't inform you of the issue whist Exchange Server 2010 tell you there is a problem.
So that makes me assume the message is in fact send by the Exchange, although "sender" is displayed as "Microsoft Outlook".

Mail Throws IMAP Error When Accessing POP Server @ Gmail

This is my first day with my new iMac and I must say that the most frustrating experience so far has been using Mail v 4.3
I have several accounts, and never had a problem until now. In the setup, it assumes incorrectly that my Gmail account is IMAP, which is isn't... and never will be considering I don't need that redundant files on a server nonsense for my personal mail.... so after it discovers there is no IMAP connection on my Gmail and it fusses about it, I switch the setting to POP.
Then when I try to download some e-mails later, it throws the following error: "Mail can't verify the identity of pop.gmail.com" ...because when you check the certificate error, you see it is querying imap.gmail.com instead of pop.gmail.com and hence getting a mismatch on the security certificate.
So I can't download Gmail emails at all for the moment.
I took a screen shot of the error message because I don't want some tech dude telling me I am imagining things or set it wrong.
Other than giving up and agreeing with Mail that I should be using IMAP, I'm stuck.

Ernie,
I have already tried this. But I did it now, strictly following your suggestion. Here's what happens:
After the first screen of account setup, Mail offers for Incoming mail server imap.gmail.com, which I duly change to pop.gmail.com.
In the next screen I manually add the "@gmail.com" part of the address to the User Name field. Then click 'Create'.
A looooooong wait later I can click on Create twice again and it's done, supposedly.
But then, it fails to get anything from Google. The particular account shows up in Mail main window as a spinning gear forever, before giving up with no email downloaded. The account ends up showing in grey in the list of accounts, with the tilde ~ next to it.
This has happened many times, like I said.
Really frustrating.

Mail setup can't connect to server. IMAP error?

I'm trying to setup Mail. I get the error message "Logging in to the q.com IMAP server "mail.q.com" failed." Same error for gmail. The user name and password are correct - I went to the website and can log in. What is the problem? I've setup Mail on other computers without problem. The auto-setup doesn't give any options for troubleshooting.

I have the same problem, It's been two days. I'm curios is it something with goole removing labs... cause everything is fine with yahoo, I don't change anything in mail.app and everything is fine until the last two days...

HT4864 I am getting a triangle with an exclamation point next to my inbox...it says: There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account "MobileMe" or try again. The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in

I can send but cannot recieve email
This is the messege I am gewtting:
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “MobileMe” or try again.
The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in to the IMAP server “p02-imap.mail.me.com” using “Password” authentication. Verify that your account settings are correct.
The server returned the error: Service temporarily unavailable

Also if I go to system preferences accounts and re-enter the password it fixes the glitch sometimes.

IMAP error messages "Error while parsing IMAP response"

I'm getting thousands of IMAP errors every hour, can I shut those off?
My console log is flooded with them and it keeps me from seeing anything else
in the system log. The IMAP errors happen continuously while Mail.app is running.
It looks like debug output from Mail.app !?!
IMAP server is Beehive Server -- it's my company email so I need to use it.
Windows Outlook (Windows 7) shows no errors, possibly they're silently ignored
on Windows. My disk is writing almost continuously when Mail.appo is running.
Sample error: (thousands are generated per hour)

          Full text: <    Gian Luigi<br>>
Any idea how to shut these off? I reinstalled Mavericks, no improvement as expected
since this seems to be Mail complaining about IMAP protocol issues.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. And yes I've rebooted, reinstalled the IMAP account,
reinstalled Mavericks, etc.

try Mail is not syncing an imap account correctly
(https://discussions.apple.com/message/21904088#21904088) , it just worked for me.

I have multiple devices that have my iCloud E-mail, I want to disable the E-Mail on some of the devices but keep it on others, I do not have physical access to the ones I want to disable but I do have access to the devices I want to keep receiving mc

I have multiple devices that have my iCloud E-mail, I want to disable the E-Mail on some of the devices but keep it on others, I do not have physical access to the ones I want to disable but I do have access to the devices I want to keep receiving mail, can I do this with a simple password reset or will that still leave all devices enabled?

The simple way would be to uncheck 'Mail' in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud, but as you would need access to the devices in question to do that you will have to change your password, at http://appleid.apple.com. You will then need to sign out and back on all the devices you want to be able to receive mail, and it's important that you follow this procedure and note the warning:
Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Password & Security' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new password and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.
The devices on which you have not changed the password will throw up continual error messages as they attempt to contact iCloud and fail.

HT4859 My Apple ID is my AOL email address. Since I set up iCloud & another email address, I only have an Inbox. I kept getting a IMAP error. How do I restore to a previous iCloud backup before this happened?

My Apple ID is my AOL email address. Since I set up iCloud & another email address, I only have an Inbox. I kept getting a IMAP error. How do I restore to a previous iCloud backup before this happened?

It may be that the process you used to change the iCloud ID created these issues. What I would suggest you do is the following:
If you have any photo stream photos on your device that you want to keep, save them to your camera roll by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.
Go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into your iCloud account and check to confirm that your data is all there.
Assuming your data is on icloud.com, go to Settings>iCloud on your device, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted. This will only delete the account and your synced data from your device but not from iCloud. Your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.
Go to Settings>iCloud, sign back in with the correct iCloud ID and password and turn your iCloud data syncing preferences back on. This will sync your iCoud data back to your device and recreate your iCloud email account.
Try your Mail again and see if it works properly now.

Mail: Proper way to adjust IMAP/SMTP mail server entries?

Please forgive, but I am still on 10.4 (Tiger) with an iCloud mail account. I believe this is still a widely applicable and helpful question!
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server):
     MINE IS STILL:      mail.me.com (Currently still working fine)
     Advised/required:     imap.mail.me.com
SMTP (Outgoing mail server):
     MINE IS STILL:          smtp.me.com (Currently still working fine)
     Advised/required:      smtp.mail.me.com
QUESTION 1: To have the server entries set properly, can I simply make textual changes in the Incoming/Outgoing server name fields for my IMAP iCloud mail account (via insert of word "mail" in server names; change is not shown here)...
...or should one DELETE IMAP ACCOUNT (as I have commonly read!) and recreate with all new correct settings? If it is advisable to Delete the account, why wouldn't just making the quick server name adjustments be sufficient?
Also, I need some fears assuaged:
- "Deleting an IMAP mail account" in Mail has no risk/danger of losing/deleting all of your Sent and Received Inbox/Sentbox contents, correct? When you recreate an Account, all of your mail held on server is still fully safe and accessible, yes?
ISSUE TWO:
I like to use both my "me.com" and "mac.com" email addresses.
Under "Edit (Outgoing) Server List," I still have a secondary older entry "smtp.mac.com" listed.
QUESTION 2: Is the following statement of my understanding accurate?
"Deletion of the smtp.mac.com outgoing server is completely acceptable and would not prohibit sending of email under mac.com email address because the "mac.com" email address is an alias for the me.com address and ALL mail (whether sent with mac.com or me.com email address) goes out through the ME.COM server."
Is that correct. If not, kindly advise!
I really appreciate the help.
I am not a beginning Mac user and find that the complete configuration intricacies of Apple Mail (I know that's the old name) are one thing that users are never really guided to master and comprehend.
Many thanks in advance!
Bill from Maryland

Disable synchronization in Mail

This request is probably the opposite of what everyone else wants, and that´s why I can´t find the answer anywhere.
I have 2 macs using Mail, and with the 3 same e-mail accounts set up in both. I used to have POP mails, and a few weeks ago I changed to Imap. That´s when my "problems" started.
If I open, read, delete etc. anything in Mail.app on one of the macs, the other one automatically updates what´s been going on. I want this feature disabled. My e-mails are for work, so if I read them at home, I want them to show as unread on the other mac when I go to work, so that I don´t forget which e-mail are new and not.
Please help me out here if anybody knows how and why this suddenly happened!
Thanks
-Cathrine

What you're describing is the nature of IMAP e-mail. All of your messages are stored on the IMAP server, and it is the "master copy." When you read a message with one computer, it gets marked as read on the server. When the other computers contact the IMAP server, they update themselves to reflect the status of the messages stored on the server. Also note that the same holds true for any messages that you delete. Once a message is deleted from the server, it will be deleted from all of your computers.
This is very different from POP e-mail. POP does not provide any mechanisms for changing the status of a message on the POP server.
There is, however, one big advantage to IMAP that you can use here. IMAP supports folders on the server for storing messages (POP does not). The default folder is the Inbox. You could create another folder (for example, "Reviewed"), and move messages to that folder after you read them. That way, anything you leave in the Inbox is still "waiting for me to act on it," while anything you have moved to the Reviewed folder is "already acted on." The messages in each folder will be automatically synchronized on all of your computers.
After you first create the new folder, you might need to choose the "Synchronize All Accounts" option under the "Mail" menu on each computer, to make sure it knows about the new folder. You'll only need to do that once.

IMAP Notification mailer

Mail imap problems: Mail created random folders and saves multiple drafts

Hi there, I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and set up Mail to imap my two primary email accounts (new to discussion forum and forums in general):
I have two imap accounts set up: Gmail and Network Solutions (my work webmail). Gmail is working fine.
Network Solutions imap account:
- Saves numerous copies of drafts of the same email as I type, and when I try to delete them (select them all, delete, or select all and move to trash), I get a message saying the Network Solutions server on port 143 has timed out. So I have a bunch of drafts that I can't clear.
Mail menu on lefthand side of Mail window looks like:
Mailboxes
Inbox icon with dropdown to
Gmail Inbox icon
Net Sol Inbox icon
Drafts icon with dropdown to
Gmail Drafts icon
Net Sol Drafts icon (this is where all those drafts keep saving and can't be deleted from)
Sent icon with dropdown to
Gmail Sent icon (only about a dozen sent emails are shown here)
Net Sol Sent icon (only about ten sent emails are shown here)
Trash icon with dropdown to
Gmail Trash icon (seems to be all my trash)
Net Sol Trash icon (seems to be all my trash)
REMINDERS
ON MY MAC
RSS
GMAIL drop down to
[Gmail] white folder icon that has the following sub folders:
All Mail (appears to have all mail from gmail in here)
Drafts
Sent Mail (appears to have all sent mail here)
Spam
Starred
Trash
NET SOL (drop down triangle)
Draft folder (empty folder)
locker folder (empty, no idea what this is, did not come from Net Sol)
Sent (does not refresh properly, always missing recent msgs)
Sent Items (empty folder)
Trash
The thing is, that in Network Solutions, prior to imapping with Mail, I had these folders:
Inbox
Deleted Messages
Drafts
Sent
Trash
NOW, after setting up imap to Mail, new folders have appeared in Network Solutions:
Folder Name
INBOX
Deleted Messages (Bolded)
Draft
Drafts
INBOX
Sent Messages (Bolded) (all recent sent msgs are in here now)
Sent (Bolded) (all sent msgs from Nov 6 and earlier are in here)
Sent Items
Trash
If I want to reference an email I sent after Nov 6, I have to log onto my Network Solutions webmail and go to that Sent Messages folder, move them to the Sent folder, then log out and update my Mail, at which point, I can see them on Mail.
I have not made a single folder in Mail -- what's there is a result of me setting up the two imap accounts.
Network Solutions has no idea what that "locker" folder is, it is not a Network Solutions-generated folder, does not appear in my Network Solutions webmail folder list, and I did not make it.
Can anyone help me clean this up, explain these mysterious folders, why I can't delete Net Sol drafts, why I can't get my sent messages that are more recent than Nov 6 into Mail, even though I've been primarily using Mail to send and receive mail for both Gmail and Network Solutions?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Hi. I posted again, and no one has answered either, here is the other post, it's more detailed in scope:
I am having a very strange problem here which started about a week ago, maybe someone can point me in the right direction:
1) I use both gmail and my domain's server email which load into Mail.app. I use gmail because I like their spam filter and I use their SMTP because where I am, my ISP SMTP server isn't very reliable. Gmail solves my outgoing mail problem, but doesn't support showing when mail has been answered and that is a useful feature.
2) My procedure is to open up gmail in my browser, mark and delete the spam (IMAP Account), then close the browser and open mail.app
3) I have a rule in mail.app which moves my gmail to my domain mail Inbox where I organized with folders and subfolders and use many signatures to send different email out to customers. Mail has been very good as you can do quite a lot with it compared to most other email clients for OSX. I do this for three domains, with several email addresses within each domain.
4) In mail.app, I can choose which mailbox to use for sent mail, junk, etc. This way I am sending from my domain, the email response shows and is linked to that mail so I can look for old responses fast and organize things by department. Spotlight or search works fast and perfectly. It's a good solution which I have used for well over a year (whenever gmail released IMAP services), or was, until a week ago.
Problem 1) As of now, when I open the mail account, the domain subfolders which should be below my Inbox are no longer there. If I look lower to the account folder, sometimes the folders show up there, sometimes they do not show up at all, but they are online in my web-based mail with my hosting company. The mails are not lost, but mail.app is not connecting with the host correctly as they appear and disappear randomly.
Problem 2) Every time I open mail.app now, most of my email inbox folders have to download all of the mail and their attachments again, even though I have the boxes in preferences correctly checked. Once the inbox loads all of the mail, then the subfolders disappear. This is very consistent. As long as there is no mail showing in the inbox, then the subfolders are showing correctly. As soon as the inbox is loaded showing mails, then the subfolders either disappear or move.
Problem 3). The mailboxes that my hosting's webmail service creates (like deleted mail, mail to delete, trash, trash delete, whatever, it's a Windows server) keep showing up in Mail. They never did that before. Once I deleted them, I could see them online, but not in mail. All was as it should be. Now they keep coming back every time I reconnect and I often have to reset which mailbox is being used for junk, sent mail, drafts, etc.
Problem 4). This same problem happens on all three of my machines, two being PPC and one Intel, running 10.4.11 and 10.5.5 respectively. The problem started happening on all my machines at the same time. This is also connection from three different ISPs.
Solution? My hosting company says that they have changed nothing in their settings (IMAP uses Port 143 and I do get a time-out error sometimes but not often). They have tried it in Outlook and do not get the same results, they say it's working fine. I have tried to subscribe in Leopard (you can't do this is Tiger, only in Leopard, but Mail.app says I have no subscribed folders, which is not true). The Quota Limits shows the standard Mail.app mailboxes, the Subscription List shows nothing, and no way to change it).
I tried Thunderbird and it connects faster, downloads faster and the folders are OK, but I still get mail folders appearing randomly. Sometimes I get mail folders appearing that I have not ever created with names like "System Mail". Sometimes I get mail boxes which are stored On My Mac which appear on IMAP suddenly. (Also, Thunderbird has poor signature file support, so I would prefer to use Mail, it's a better program overall.)
I have tried rebuilding the mail accounts, have done this, realistically, 25 times. Yesterday I did a complete reinstall of 10.5.5 just because I am at the end of my rope. Now I am about ready to change hosting companies as I am still having the same trouble. I am in the process of archiving all of my mail into Gmail so I can switch hosts if that is the problem. But, I would like to know first if that is actually the problem, since overall I am pretty happy with my hosting company. They are in Arizona and speak my language and they are easy to talk with. However, they do not have a Mac there so they cannot test my situation from their facility.
It's a strange problem in that one, I have used the system fine for well over a year with perfect results. Two, it happens on three different Mac used in three different places (office, home, and another person's home), and three, I have not changed hosting companies, I have been using the same host for two years and they deny changing any settings on their end.
The hosting company has no answer for me, they are not Mac users, and say that it's perfect in Outlook, but it's not actually perfect in Outlook either as mailboxes still appear randomly and sent mail ends up in my inbox randomly even in Outlook. They just don't realize it as they are not watching my mail boxes except when I am on the phone with them.
I am not having trouble with my websites. I do not have this problem with Gmail, only with my domain webmail.
I have to use Windows because of a particular shopping cart system I use, but IMAP systems should be the same on Windows or anything else. Some how, some where, some one has changed some thing. Any idea what and how to solve the problem?
Thanks,
John

Clean install of Lion, move to iCloud generated error, Mail/iCloud won't connect

One of an ongoing series of issues moving to Lion (whatta workout!). This one involves Mail and iCloud. Porting my MobilMe to iCloud has been problematic - I' ve been asked to do it three or four times, with each time being succesful when viewing through Safari. But now I've realized that the iCloud mail is not being picked up by Mail on my iMac (2009). I go to System Preferences to see if I can do something about it, but iCloud isn't there - just MobileMe. So I click on MobileMe and (again) it asks me to move everything to iCloud. I do this and some error is generated (can't get it to replicate & don't recall what it was), and I can't sign in - it doesn't recognize my login, although I'm still currently in iCloud via Safari - clear as mud? Yikes. Bottom line: Mail can't get at iCloud mail to download, and sign-in seems broken. In 25 years on a Mac, I've never come across this level of Windows-like challenges. Suggestions?

I think the problem is the servers have changed, MobileMe is dead, except it can still be read in IMAP eMail.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    •    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    •    SSL Required: Yes
    •    Port: 993
    •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    •    Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    •    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    •    SSL Required: Yes
    •    Port: 587
    •    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    •    Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

Error Mail Merge Aborted due to error in creating the Mail Merge DataSource

Dear All,
please help me with this problem (Oracle release 12.0.4.)
1. PROBLEM:
When attempting to extract data, using Web ADI in HRMS, Word is selected as the viewer, but an Excel spreadsheet is generated rather than a MS Word document containing the data. Also error "Mail Merge Aborted due to error in creating the Mail Merge Data Source." appears on screen.
We are using MS Office 2003.
2. PROBLEM:
Unable to create data source from HR form PAYWSLEE.
We are using custom integrator. This integrator is attached to form function. Form function is attached to responsibility. We also created the layout.
The next step would be to create data source from form PAYWSLEE, but we are not able to perform this...
In release 11i we used this form (PAYWSLEE) to create datasource (for mailmerge), but in R12 this is not working... Something is missing here and I need your help to determine what. I checked the most documents on Oracle Support and didn't find solution for this problem...
Please advise.
Kind Regards,
Andreja
