E.mail aliasses don't work...

I'm having a problem with my e.mail accounts / alliases (not with my default main account, but with the extra ones I've created)
I know the address is active; I can for example send myself an e.mail TO this address. I just can't send FROM, as I am always asked:
"Enter Password for Account "KrienQuad"
The .Mac server “mail.mac.com” rejected the password for user “[email protected]”
Please re-enter your password, or cancel."
Now I am sure the password is correct; but it doesnt seem to recognise it and refuses to send?
I'm not sure if it might be to do with each accounts outgoing mail server (tried using the smtp.mac.com:[email protected], as well as my ISP and my main .mac server)
I'm really stumped - can anyone shed some light? Thanks in advance!

Hello,
Is your Profile correct that you are running 10.3.9? If so, the ability to send directly with .mac alias addresses was only added to 10.4 and Mail 2.0.
If you have other accounts, provided for example by your ISP, you can add the .mac alias addresses to those addresses listed in the email address preference entry box of the other accounts, and using commas to separate each address.
More info, and questions, please.

  • Syncing rules in Mail (OSX) don't work...

    I can't sync rules with iCloud. When I activate Documents and Data in iCloud, the rules configured in Mail are deleted. If I create a new rule, when re-start Mail, the rule dissapear.
    If turn off Documents and Data, all work perfect. I have a backup of SyncedRules.plist (Library->Mail->V2->MailData) to restore.
    I had tried a lot of "fixes", but nothing work.
    I have another issues with Documents and Data betwen iOS and Mac. Syncing of data with apps like Tweetbot, IAwriter, iWork... don't work. I'm sure something in my iCloud account is wrong, but I don't know how fix it.
    Are there anyone from Apple that can help me?.
    Thanks.
    Regards.

    Not as part of my immediate issue, but (as I did explain above) 1) this thread deals with rules/sigs vanishing, and 2) that seems to happen a lot, to people who sync AND people who don't, 3) it seems that this problem is sometimes attributed to iCloud syncing when that is not the problem and 4) I was hoping there might be some related Mail issue (besides just iCloud) that *might* help explain things. I aslo said I thought it was a long shot, but....any port in a storm. No offense intended, but it seems that my long shot didn't turn up any useful info.
    That said, since i DO have a heckuva lot of rules set up, and having them reside eslewhere might be useful. Is there a way to move rules already in existence to iCloud? If I make changes locally, will they get picked up by iCloud or overwriten? If not, then iCloud won't help me at present.....

  • Mail Rules don't work in Mavericks

    It seems with the update to 10.9 Mavericks Mail rules no longer work. My email address was harvested by spamers and I have been using rules to weed throught the 100's of emails that I receive each day.
    Russian Brides, Vigra, Learn a new language get moved into the trash when delievered. Now nothing happens.
    I just tried to write a new rule and when I clicked the Prefs pannel I got the spinning cursor. After waiting for some time I did a force quit only to find that Mail was not responding.
    Anyone have any ideas? I did not see any major changes with Mail and Mavericks so I'm not sure why it's been effected.

  • Yosemite Mail Shortcuts Don't Work

    I just upgraded to Yosemite and my customized Mail shortcuts are not working.
    I have shortcuts for changing the account I want a message sent from (Option-Command-G for Gmail, Option-Command-Y for Yahoo, etc).
    I also have shortcut for select the signature (Option-Command-X for None).
    After upgrading to Yosemite there is no way that I can make them work.
    Any suggestion will be truly appreciated.
    Regards.
    Adolfo

    Thank you lindytalbot.
    Unfortunately, I had to downgrade to Mavericks.
    Many issues. Bluetooth: Magic Mouse works inconsistently. Poor performance with Apple TV which I use it a lot with Skype for video conferencing. Shortcuts.
    Again. thanks a lot for your reply.

    Mail (Mountain Lion): If you can’t send messages

  • Disc image alias don't work in dock

    I recently 'upgraded' to mountain lion and since then my dock shortcuts no longer work;
    I keep all of my personal files inside an encrypted sparse image then I have alias files for that drive and some of the folders within it stored on the local drive which I would then have in finder.
    This used to work perfectly well and if the volume wasn't mounted it would prompt me to do so.
    Now; it prompts me if the drive isn't mounted but then the links don't open their target folders, they work fine if I open the alias from within finder, shortcuts to physical drives and folders on physical drives still work fine when in the dock. 
    nb; the folders within the sparse image can still be added to the dock as a stack but that doesn't solve the issue.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Thank you so much for the tip.  It worked, in a sense.  But I have several individual files I'd like to have aliases for.  If I drag each one to the dock, my dock would be cluttered with these aliases.  Prior to mountain lion, I was able to have a folder of aliases on my dock, in list form or stack form.  I can still do that with any files not in a sparsebundle.  But the files in my sparsebundle won't work in that alias folder.  They only work as you suggested, individually dragging each one to the dock.
    Is there any way to consolidate these aliases into one folder on the dock?
    Again, thank you very much for your time and attention.

  • Mail attachments don't work iphone

    I have three users who updated their phones to 7.0.4.  After doing so, half of the email attachments don't show up in emails.  Instead, they get a "this message has no content."  It happens with different email senders and different attachment file types (pdf and xls).  One user specifically noted that it happened after updating to 7.0.4.  Two of those users are on iPhone 4S's and another is on a variation of 5.
    Any ideas as to what is causing this or how to fix it?
    side note: mail attachments on those same problem emails work on the user's Outlook clients as well as Android phones (when tested).

    Use Plain Text instead of RTF for message composition and place any attachments below all message text including a signature if one is used.
    The Send Windows Friendly Attachments option is designed for only one thing and that is removing the Apple resource fork from an attached file which is invisible from fellow Mac users.

  • Mail Version 2.1.1 (752.3) Junk Mail Buttons Don't Work

    I have ... Reset junk mail.
    The problem occurs before and after junk mail is reset and junk mail learning mode is active for any number of days.
    When I get junk mail in my inbox and click on it once and then use either the "Not Junk" icon in Toolbar or "Not Junk" button in message header, Mail treats the message as not junk. When another e-mail arrives from same sender, it's again marked as junk. I've noticed that some messages revert to the "junk" colour even after they are marked as not junk.
    I've repaired permissions and restarted the iMac and restarted Mail app.
    Wonder if I have the latest version of Mail? Please help. Thanks
    iMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB SDRAM   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Have dual boot with XP Pro on "other side"

    Have you made any changes to the junk filter in Preferences > Junk Mail > Advanced? Try this:
    1. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, disable junk mail filtering, then enable it again. This resets the junk filter rule.
    2. Choose either Training or Automatic mode (it doesn’t matter) and leave the other options checked. Click Advanced to see how the junk filter rule is defined now if you want, but don’t change anything there.
    3. Reset the junk filter database (Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset).
    You can use the Colors palette (Format > Show Colors) to manually change the background highlight of messages in the message list. Although the Colors palette cannot be used to set the foreground color, it can be used to remove it. In particular, choosing either black or white removes both the background highlight and the foreground color of the messages currently selected in the message list.

  • ICloud Mail & Contacts don't work well together?

    I have iCloud activated for Mail and Contacts. Now, when in Mail and I try to address an email, the address book shows up but none of the sub address books show up.  How do I get them populated?  Do I have to go back to syncing with MobileMe?

    this is not a bug - but you're right its a serious problem.
    The same happens on Linux/NVidia too igf I force antialiasing and use the OGL pipeline.
    This happens because java tries to accerlate some graphic opeerations with DirectX or OpenGL and it simply wants the graphic-card to render the stuff it sends the graphic card.
    However with AA turned on you graphic card tries to optimize the data coming from java which is nonsence since the AA was designed for games.
    So basically its neither java's fault nore the dirvers one.
    Both work as expected - but not well together. I think driver-manufactureres should provide a common API for telling the driver that this and that application does NOT want to be AA'ed even if its forced.
    Till now there's nothing SUN could do about this issue...

  • Maverick update: messanger/mail express don't work

    Hello All,
      With all of the updates (Maverick), my wife's messanger & mail express no longer open up. They are locked down. I tried to dump both into the trash but Maverick won't allow me to do that. Also, I cannot find either on the dowload store. If I missed the obvious, I apologize in advance. Any suggestions?
    Yes, I can wipe the HD and start over but am trying to avoid that. Any assistance would be greatful.
    Thank you in advance.

  • Some Mail rules don't work properly

    So I have had an email rule in Tiger for the last n months that matched account, To: Subject: and message content (account==, To:==, Subject: ==, Message Contents contains) and the rule processing is supposed to be Mark as read, move to folder x, change color to green, reply with message, stop processing rules.
    What actually happens is move to folder x, mark as read, move to folder x, change color to green, and reply, but only with the original message. The "Reply with Text" is ignored and is not included.
    Is this a known issue? I have deleted the rule and re-created it, with the same effect.

  • Desktop SMS and Windows Mail don't work properly together

    Hi
    thought I would post there here as been having some issues with my Windows Mail but my desktop computer doesn't suffer same issues and on a Vista forum where I posted my problem a couple of very helpful told me who to try solving the issues.
    One of them suddenly realised I'd said my laptop was a Toshiba and apparently the Desktop SMS and Windows Mail just don't work properly together so the person suggested unless I use it to uninstall it apparently amongst the technically trained its known that these two programs don't like each other and would explain why my desktop doesn't have the issue but laptop does.
    After resetting the Windows Mail (tutorial on a vista site http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/) Touch wood don't be put off by vistax64 as site does both 32 and 64 and followed Brink's excellent resetting Windows Mail (didn't restore any mail) and then uninstalled Desktop SMS and touch wood no more mail issues as has been giving me problems virtually daily with marking draft emails as read/sent.
    So had to click on forward then delete those bits and finish email to send it and touch wood since doing these two things as soon as send an email to draft or outbox get the number of emails in the brackets whereas before this wouldn't happen unless I closed the program then reopened it.
    Hoping these solutions have fixed my problem and wanted to share it with anybody else who wants to read this thread and would recommend the Vista 64 site as they're all really helpful over there and speak in non technical terms for those of us not technically trained.
    Debbie

    I have marked this as answered as it was more a post to help others who may have experienced the same problem I did and didn't get a reply or just didn't know that this program could be the reason their Windows Mail has issues that can't seem to be resolved any other way apart from ignore them and hope they don't get worse.

  • Why do rules in mail preferences no longer work

    I just converted to Mavericks. Now the rules for mail messages don't work. I've clicked them off and on again but no change. What else to I need to do to make the rules work?

    Duplicate your copy of iTunes 10.x before upgrading to iTunes 11 (or restore it from a backup) and use iTunes 10.x to listen to (and in particular access the links in) podcasts. Further, file a bug with Apple that these links don't work when the album art is displayed in the album art mini-player.

  • E-mail alias address no longer working

    I am using two e-mail addresses, one the original @verizon.net and an alias I set up @xxxxx.com
    I was regularly -- but it seemed sporadically -- getting this following message, sometimes when I tried accessing, but sometimes just when the Apple Mail was open but I wasn't doing anything:
    Enter the password for user “ -- alias address --” on IMAP server “mail.alias.com”
    For a while I hit 'cancel' and everything worked fine.
    But then I went into "account" and tried to fix the problem ... and I think I changed the password for the alias. In any case, I am unsure what the password is...and I can't see it on Preferences/Accounts. 
       I have used the password that works for the @verizon.net ... but that does not make a difference.
    Now the root "Inbox" and the "alias" addresses have the tilde by them, indicating offline. Nothing I do gets rid of the tilde. I get that same 'request for password'.
    NOW I am NOT receiving e-mails to the alias address.  I really need this alias, it's my business address.
    AS I WAS TYPING THIS, the message from Apple Mail popped up again. I had to hit 'cancel' or 'OK' (back and forth, each one) several times before it stopped popping up. This has happened before. 

    the verizon settings are here, and or you can use their auto email set up.
    »www22.verizon.com/residentialhel···6652.htm
    These are sample settings for a non verizon email address (@gmail.com for example)
    Incoming
    Your incoming mail server
    no ssl
    Your email address
    your username
    your password
    outgoing
    outgoing.verizon.net
    no ssl
    my server requires authentication = yes
    your verizon username (should be the same thing that you use to sign in at »webmail.verizon.com, test your password by logging in at that website, if it doesn't work, then reset your password and use the correct information)
    your verizon password
    should work on 25 since this part is verizon, but if it doesn't work for whatever reason try 587
    sometimes third party mail servers don't play nice, and don't use 587 for their alternate port. like go daddy often uses port 80 for ougoing as an example.
    The Problem is you are unsure what your incoming password should be, and so whoever your provider is, you'll want to either go to their website, and do their self help option for "i forgot my password"  reach out to their chat support, or call them to reset your password.        The password is very important, so if there is a webmail version of that provider (for example gmail has gmail.com) then you should try the i forgot password option at their website.
