Mail Issue Using AOL setting

The issue is that its not letting me recieve or send mail. Here are my settings now and if anyone can help it would be grately appreciated.
IMAP Account
Incoming Mail Server: imap.aol.com
Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.aol.com
(then the names and passwords are all in correctly)
If anyone can help me out, it would be great...thanks

Hi OMS!
Maybe if you use this utility AOL Services Assistant, you'll have better luck!

Can't e-mail photos using iPhoto. I get an error message saying...

I already receive mail via the iMail client for my iCloud (@me.com) account. When I tried to set up an e-mail account withing iPhoto, it prompted me for that same information. I used my @me.com e-mail address and password correctly (I think), but then it says, "the server didn't recognize the username/password." HELP!!

This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
https://appleid.apple.com
Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
Click Password and Security in the left column
Click Generate an app-specific password
Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
And...voila' (I hope)

E-mailing photos using Hotmail

I recently purchased a Macbook and am not able to e-mail my photos using Hot Mail. Every time I compose a new Hot Mail message, I click on Attach and it goes to Photos. Unfortunately, when I attempt to scroll through the pictures and make a selection, I get the dreaded "pinwheel of death" and have to force close. Is the only workaround to either e-mail directly from I-photo or save the photos to my desktop. This doesn't seem very user friendly and one of the reasons I got a Mac was to avoid a lot of the hassles I had as a pc user.

Hotmail is a Mail service. It's pretty basic and has been around for years. It's not a application You are using a Web Browser such as Safari or Firefox to access Hotmail, right?
Try download and re-install the iLife 9.0.3 update from here
http://support.apple.com/downloads/iLifeSupport_9_03
and repair permissions.

Mac Mail problems using AOL

Having mail problems after updating to 10.9.2 using Mac mail with AOL....
Most everything I compose is being saved as a draft. Sometimes several copies of the same mail.
When I put mail in the trash and delete them, they come back with up to 20 duplicates of the same message.
Anyone know of a fix for this?
Thanks.

After 9 months with the macbook pro and no problems watsoever, my AOL mail suddenly started having problems but not on my iPad or iPhone. There's no doubt that the problem was intitated by a change made by Apple to the software on my computer. As others have noted files with the email settings get scrambled.
The symptoms come and go, sometimes closing the mail program and rebooting will cure the probems. Apple recommends waiting 10 minutes , are you nuts? Trip (with appointment ) to Santa Monica Apple store and the tech was less than helpful , struggling under Apple's work two customers for their allotted 15 min.
Sorry for ranting in tech space but one of the benefits of paying the premium for Apple products is that they work. Apple we have a problem here, but you have a far larger problem ..... as a iPhone, iPad, MacBook and Apple stock owner I see the handwriting on the wall....

Sending mail while using AOL

I log on via AOL through the modem. When I open my Mail application to check my .mac account it receives email no problem. I cannot send email for some reason using the Apple Mail application. (message i get)
"Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your network settings."
The Mail Connection Doctor message is "Trying to log into this SMTP account failed. Please make sure the username and password are correct"
My username and password are correct.
Any help?

You're welcome.
Although your Mac experience is only a month old, how often did you use your Windows laptop to send messages with these accounts when at this airport or when on the train - or I should ask, when was the last time you did so with your Windows laptop?
If you can send messages with all 3 accounts using the authenticated SMTP server for each when connected to the internet via your ISP at home, this is not a Mac or Mail.app problem.
Either the SMTP server settings are not 100% identical as the settings with Outlook or the internet service providers associated with the WiFi network at this airport and on the train have made a change.
Next time when connected to the WiFi network at this airport and/or on the train, try using your .Mac account and authenticated SMTP server to send but disable the authentication for the .Mac SMTP server first. Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below for the .Mac SMTP server.
Select None instead of Password for the Authentication and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
For the problem when connected to the internet via your parent's ISP at their home, try entering 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field - for the .Mac SMTP server and also for the other two SMTP servers used with these IMAP accounts not provided by your ISP.

Unable to mail photo

I am unable to mail a photo from I photo.
Suresh

Either drag the photo from the iPhoto Browser window directly to the Mail icon in the Dock, or set the iPhoto Preferences to "General > Mail photos using: Mail". That works more reliably than using "General > Mail photos using: iPhoto".

IPhoto4 and e-mail using AOL

I have iPhoto 4.0.3 and I could have sworn that last month I was able to send pictures via e-mail using my AOL. The other day, I was trying to send some pictures but I am unable to get select "America Online". Selecting the e-mail icon at the bottom of the iPhoto window automatically opened a "Mail" window after the picture was compressed. When I went to Iphoto>Preferences, the "Mail using" tab was set to "Mail" and the other three choices (including "America Online" are dimmed, and so can't be selected. Can you help?
Steve Rachbach

Thanks Peter and Sue, but still problems. I was able to get into the mail preferences using minimal data on the first screen. I did change the default Email reader to my "AOL (10.3)" application. However, when I click Email on the bottom of the iPhoto screen, it still comes up with a "Mail" window. I tried quitting the programs and coming back in and I even shut down and restarted the computer. No luck, the Mail preferences window is still available and still has AOL as the default Email reader, but when a photo is selected for email, it opens a "Mail" window (with or without being signed onto AOL)

How do i save a new gmail user name and password??

iPhoto Menu ->
Preferences ->
Accounts ->
Delete and recreate your email settings.
Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them.

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]

Hi Liz,
Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem. Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File", then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu.    I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine.   The Browse Backups opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine. I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day.   I then clicked "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen.   Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal.   When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1). I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do.
The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend.   I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu, when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library.   Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.
I am now a happy camper.
I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed.   Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto, that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto?     If so have you clicked "upgrade"?
Good luck Liz, if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above.   Otherwise,   good luck with your investigations.   I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.

I sent e-mail photos from iPhoto using my @me account but I do not find the history of sent e-mails in my new iCloud account. Where can I find the history of sent e-mails?

Using iPhoto as the email client in iPhoto does not creatge a sent copy. iPhoto indicates in the Info drawer if a photo was emailed by iPhoto (under the Sharing section):
There's no easy way to search for photos that have been emailed. Each photo has to be inspected via the Info tray.
One could add a keyword to emailed photos which would let a smart album keep track of those photos.
A better solution, IMO, is to set Mail as the email client (in iPhoto's General preference pane) and use it. That will give you an sent copy, better access to your contacts and, if you want a theme, numerous photo themes under the Stationary section of Mail.

I'm new to Apple's Mail program (I've used AOL for years). How do I configure Mail so once an email is read it automatically disappears from the list of emails? Conversely, how do I mark "keep as new" an email I've read but I want to remain on the screen?

I'm new to Apple’s Mail program (I’ve used AOL for years). Howdo I configure Mail so once an email is read it automatically disappears fromthe list of emails? Conversely, how do I mark "keep as new" an email I'veread but I want to remain on the screen?

Right click on the email in the left hand pane. Select Mark as Unread to return it to an unread state. Click Delete to move it to the trash or file it in a folder if you have any configured. You may need to click the show button on the upper left hand side of the window to see your folders. The + sign at the bottom of that pane allows you to add a new folder.

How can you close an email after reading without either deleting it or saving it somewhere? I use AOL and it just goes to "old mail" after you have read the email.

How can you close an email in Apple iPad after reading it without deleting it. I use AOL and in their application it just goes to "old mail" after you have read it. In Apple's email it stays open. Very annoying.

You cannot actually close an email in the mail app on the iPad. You can tap on the drafts folder or any empty folder that you migh have when you are done reading the email and then the blank white window will appear in the mail app.
The mail app will always show emails otherwise. That is just the way that it works currently on the iPad.

Facebook photo albums display fine but when I click on an individual picture in the album only the caption displays. (does not happen when I use AOL as my browser)

In Facebook, when I click on any individual photo it will not display. Everything, including the caption, displays fine but not the picture itself. If I use AOL as my browser this does not happen, only on Firefox.

Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions - See [[Options window - Content panel]]
A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (Site Identification icon) on the left side of the location bar. 
A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info"). 
Open the Media tab of the "Page Info" window. 
Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key. 
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
