Disabling the IMAP server

How do I disable the IMAP server?
<P>
If you want to use only the POP server, you can disable the
IMAP server by moving the executable from
$(ServerRoot)/bin/mail/server/network into
$(ServerRoot)/bin/mail/server/disabled.
<P>
If you decide to run the IMAP server later, you can just move
it back. The disabled directory does not exist by default on
and may need to be created.

You can access an Exchange account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's mail client if IMAP account access is enabled for your Exchange account at the Exchange server.
You can also access an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the iPhone's mail client if ActiveSync is enabled for your Exchange account at the Exchange server. This provides Push access for the email account, and provides for over the air syncing for contact info and calendar events with the Exchange server.

    Do you have one, two or more entries in the left colum of Mail.app for your mail server(s)?  That is, do you have your Mail.app set up with either a btinternet entry, with a btyahoo entry, or both?  Or more?
    I'm guessing that you might have one account (btyahoo?) listed for incoming (IMAP server) mail, and with the outbound (SMTP server) mail is configured and named btinternet.
    Based on what little I see posted, it looks like BT uses both btinternet and btyahoo, but I'm not exactly clear on how they have their stuff set up, and their web set gets helpful and tries to help configure my mail — I don't immediately see a single web page with the mail server set-up details.  The BT email client set-up starts here.

  • Mapping Mail to the IMAP Server's sent mail folder.

    In Mail, how do I tell my IMAP account what folder to store sent mail in on the IMAP server?
    NOTE! I am not asking how to make it store on the server. I know if you go to a mail boxes preferences you can check a box that says "Store sent messages on server." I assure you that box is checked.
    On my windows box I use Thunderbird, and with Thunderbird I have to manually tell it I want to store all of my mail in the subscribed folder entitled "sent-mail." This works fine. I can not figure out how to do this with Mail. I am assuming this is why my sent mail is not getting stored on the server.
    Cheers,
    ccerinojr

    Click on the Sent folder, then click Mailbox in the Menubar, place cursor on Use This Mailbox For, and choose Sent, which you should find in black type.
    Keep us posted.

  • The IMAP server ... rejected the password for user ...

    When I went to bed last night, Apple Mail (Lion, MacBook Pro) worked fine on my home IMAP server, as they have done for some time.
    This morning, I cannot log in and I now get the following error message:
    The IMAP server “...” rejected the password for user “...”.
    The password is definitely correct.  I have typed in the password repeatedly (although it was already correct) to no avail - I just get the same error message again.
    Since then, I have tried:
    my Linux laptop using Thunderbird
    my Xoom (running Android ICS) and K9
    my SGS2 (running Honeycomb) and K9
    my iPad 2 using IOS Mail
    Roundcube (webmail client) on the MacBook Pro itself (so no connectivity issues)
    and all still work perfectly.  There have been no changes to my mail server (which is Dovecot running on Debian Squeeze, which has been running flawlessly for years) and none to my MacBook Pro (unless they were silent).
    I have tried deleting all the relevant items from my keychain, but that has made no difference either.
    Any ideas because I'm stumped?

    Since I posted this, there has been more, but slightly different, weirdness.
    In the middle of a session yesterday, Apple Mail started to do something different.  When I typed in the password, it briefly worked (downloading one or two messages) and then the error dialogue box popped up again so clearly the password was always correct.
    A short while later, it accepted the password and stopped complaining until ten minutes ago.  This time I only had to type in the password once and it is working at the moment but who knows how long for?

  • Syncing mail to the imap server?

    is there a way to tell os x mail to restore an item to the imap server if it doesnt exist on the server but it does exist in mail?

    I’m still not sure what the problem is.
    If Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Keep copies of messages for offline viewing is set to All messages and their attachments (the default setting), then Mail 2.x maintains a local copy of server-stored mailboxes using the exact same format it uses for locally stored mailboxes, except the suffix of the mailbox folder in the filesystem is .imapmbox instead of .mbox.
    You cannot import *.imapmbox mailboxes directly into Mail because when you do File > Import Mailboxes and choose Mail for Mac OS X as the data format, Mail looks for *.mbox folders only, but if Keep copies of messages for offline viewing was indeed set to All messages and their attachments when the backup of those mailboxes was made, you can easily overcome that limitation by just changing the suffix to .mbox:
    1. Copy the ~/Library/Mail/IMAP-username@mailserver account folder from the backup to the Desktop.
    2. Change the .imapmbox suffix of the folders within the account folder on the Desktop to .mbox.
    3. In Mail, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Mail for Mac OS X as the data format, and follow the instructions to import the copy of the account folder that’s on the Desktop.

  • Connection to the imap server failed on WiFi

    Hi -
    Has anyone encountered this problem? All of a sudden, I am getting the following error message on my iPhone when I try to check my email (and am connected to my WiFi network): "Connection to the imap server failed." If I turn off WiFi, the connection works fine (using 3G). All settings are correct, and this has worked fine for almost a year before the problem started.
    Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks.
    Rob

    If you truly tried everything there is no hope of ever making it work. But perhaps you missed something, so here are a few things (and if you've tried them...)
    Reboot the phone by holding the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears
    Go to Settings/Mail,contacts,calendars, tap on a mail account. Make sure there's an entry for SMTP or Outgoing mail server (You may need to tap on Account to see the entry)
    Tap on SMTP and make sure you have entered your email name and password (even if it says "optional")
    If there's more than one server listed make sure the appropriate one for that account is the primary
    If all of the above is correct delete the account, reboot the phone, and add the account back

  • 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.

  • Folders on the IMAP server do not appear or appear in wrong location - those cannot be modified in Thunderbird because "they do not exist on server".

    Hi all,
    A few days ago, I moved 3 sub-folders within my Archive folder. I was doing those modifications using Thunderbird.
    My Archive folder used to contain the following sub-folders:
    Archive
    /A2014
    /B2014
    /C2014
    I tried to move the folders A2014, B2014 and C2014 under the sub-folder LastYear, and created new A, B and C folders for 2015, so that it would be something like:
    Archive
    /LastYear
    /A2014
    /B2014
    /C2014
    /A2015
    /B2015
    /C2015
    On the webmail interface, everything looks fine: the old A, B and C folders where moved into the Archives/LastYear folder, and the new A, B and C folders appear under Archives. However, on Thunderbird things are a bit more... strange.
    Case 1: For some folders, things are as they should be.
    Folders A2014 and B2014 were correctly moved into Archives/LastYear.
    Folders A2015 and C2015 were correctly created in Archives.
    Case 2: One folder does not appear at all - anymore.
    Folder B2015 does not appear anywhere - despite being visible on the webmail interface. It does not appear in the list of folders to synchronize. No .msf file appear. Nothing happens if I try creating it again.
    Note that it briefly existed after I created it, but stopped appearing a few hours later.
    Case 3: One folder appears in the wrong location and cannot be accessed.
    Folder C2014 appears in the old location (Archives) and not were it should be (and is on the webmail interface), that is Archives/LastYear. I cannot perform any operation on it in Thunderbird, I systematically get the following error message:
    "The current operation on 'C2014' did not succeed. The mail server for account <AccountName> responded: "Archives/C2014" doesn't exist."
    (Which is correct because according to the server the folder C2014 is in Archives/LastYear).
    The C2014.msf file is also wrongly located, but moving it to the correct location did not change anything: the next time Thunderbird was started, the wrongly located .msf file was re-created.
    Thunderbird does not show the emails contained in this folder - when I try loading them I get the previous error message.
    Using the same style than before, here is how my Archives folder look right now:
    Archive
    /LastYear
    /A2014
    /B2014
    /A2015
    /C2015
    /C2014
    I am totally flabbergasted, I have no idea of where the problem is. I tried various fixes found on forums (such as playing around with the .msf files), but no luck so far. Any idea?
    A few more details:
    - I use an IMAP server.
    - This is a professional address, and I have little control on it.
    - I use Thunderbird with this account on two different computer, the problem is identical on both computers.
    - I tried removing/re-installing the account from Thunderbird, it did not change anything.
    I would be eternally grateful if any of you could come up with a solution!
    Many many thanks,
    Agnes

    I know my files downloaded through Firefox won't appear in my downloads folder because that is just supported by Safari
    No, I think that Apple just assigned the Downloads folder to Safari to send things there by default. You can do the same with Firefox, just go to the Firefox Preferences, click on main, tick the "Save files to..." and click the Choose button, then navigate to /Users/yourname/Downloads and click choose. I have always had all my Internet applications download things to a Downloads folder I keep at the root level of the drive (so all users can access them), but I just changed the Firefox pref to the new Apple Downloads folder and it worked fine.

  • How do I tell Mail to look in the ~/mail folder on the IMAP server

    I run my own IMAP server. If you ask it for a listing of ~/mail, it shows every folder I want Mail to see.
    I can't seem to convince it to stop looking in ~.
    One important thing: my inbox is NOT in /var/spool/mail/$USERNAME. Everything is procmail filtered. My inbox is ~/mail/inbox.
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Okay, that and restarting Mail got it to look in the folder. Thanks.
    Why isn't ~/mail/inbox listed?
    The Special Icon labeled Inbox isn't showing the contents of ~/mail/inbox.

  • I want to disable the DHCP server on HH3 and use l...

    Hi, i live in a flat with 5 other people so i have my HH3 connected to a linksys wrt5gl so that i can use the QoS capbilities of the linksys (tomato firmware). The linksys router can also limit bandwidth per ip address IF its also the DHCP server. When i disable the DHCP on the HH3 and enable it on the linksys the internet no longer works on any of the PC's, but if i have the DHCP on the hh3 i cannot limit bandwidth per ip on the linksys.
    In the flat before this i managed to set this up fine (wasnt with the HH3- some other router) just need some advice on how to disable DHCP on the HH3 and enable it on the linksys wrt5gl whilst still being able to connect to the net.
    Here is how its set up atm:
    Phone line>>>HH3 (assighns IP through DHCP)>>>Linksys (data goes through QoS)>>>PC's/laptops/consoles in flat
    Here is how i want it set up:
    Phone line>>>HH3 (Acts as a modem)>>>Linksys (assighns IP through DHCP to allow bandwidth limiting /data goes through QoS)>>>PC's/laptops/consoles in flat
    thanks in advance, sorry if this is hard to understand- im not so good at putting the problem into words
    Solved!

    Hi,
    Don't know to be honest......but as an idea....you will have to disable DHCP server on the hub, apply a static ip to the Linksys, 192.168.1.100. You'll then need to set up DHCP on the Linksys....start ip 192.168.1.64 end 192.168.1.253, you'll need to add a subnet 255.255.255.0, then the gateway.....192.168.1.254 that's the ip address of the HH and that could be the real problem as normally the default gateway for DHCP on routers is the routers ip address.
    So the chandes of it working are slim.....however you dont have to use your HH on your BT broadband you can use another make/model. 
    One option to use with that router is a Draytek 120 ADSL modem, which does PPOA to PPOE.

  • My mail has stopped receiving anything and is saying the IMAP server username and password is wrong but I haven't logged out or changed anything?

    My mail (hotmail) has stopped receiving emails and keeps saying the IMAX server username and password is wrong when I haven't changed anything?

    Hello ,Marshyy96
    That is not good, lets see if we can get your email back up and running again. Take a look at the article below to go over the settings to just make sure nothing is out of the ordinary. You may end up needing to remove the email account and add it back in.

  • Using StartTLS with IMAP connection to Exchange is giving me different certificates for machines different to the IMAP server, security exception each time

    I'm using Thunderbird with my work email account, which is using Exchange, this is not officially supported but access is allowed via IMAP.
    The problem is when I'm using StartTLS or SSL I'm getting multiple different self signed certificates being returned, seeming depending on which specific backend server is handling the request, each time it causes the Confirm Security Exception dialog to be displayed. If I confirm the exception I get the dialog being displayed again until eventually I get a certificate that seems to match the first certificate I confirmed, at which point I can download or send my pending mail.
    Thus is seems that there is only one certificate being stored as an exception for each server connection. Is there some way round this?
    Thanks.

    What is the reason for the exception prompt in the first place?

  • Logging into the imap server failed after creating OD Master

    I should have left things alone....
    I have an OD master 10.5 server on the network that my local clients point to. To use the 10.6 server which houses mail as a TimeMachine backup, I created it as another OD master. For some reason (thankfully) my e-mail account is still functioning but the accounts for junkmail, notjunkmail and caught (for server captured junkmail) no longer function. I tried using workgroup manager and deleting the local account "caught" and created a OD account for it giving it mail privileges. Then used sudo chown -R caught caught to recapture the home directory but no luck. I have looked in console and cannot see the issue.
    I would appreciate any insight.
    Paul

    I found the answer. Using Server Admin and connecting to the server I had to allow access to the users for mail services. This worked for the user which I had switched to an OD user and the ones that were local users on the server.

  • The IMAP server wishes to alert you to the following: Mailbox is at 96% of quota

    Mailbox is at 96% of quota...

    What mail service do you have? I use Earthlink, and I check my mail by webmail often, and have a setting like this. You can go into your folders of Inbox and Sent Mail and delete stuff, especially mails with big attachments like pics or videos. You should see the percentage go down as you do. You will have to empty trash too.
