E75 IMAP mail problem

I've been a happy E75 user for about two months now, but last week my phone suddenly started having problems with my IMAP mailbox.
The setup is this: I have my phone set to check my work email through Mail for Exchange, and my personal mail through my ISP's IMAP server. Both have been configured to sync every 15 minutes and with set time frames (no need to check work mail during evenings or weekends ). My phone has the latest firmware installed.
Everything was working fine for two months, but last week I noticed that the phone wasn't checking my IMAP mailbox. Furthermore, I found that it was actually unable to even show me the mailbox. If I tried to open the mailbox through the email client or the main screen, the screen would flash as if it was trying to open something, but return immediately. When I closed and reopened the mail client, I was able to access my mailbox, but once I closed it, I was again unable to open it. I tried all the immediately obvious solutions: reboot, reboot and remove battery, remove the mailbox and recreate it, nothing worked. I even tried removing the MfE mailbox (which was working fine all the time), but no luck. I went to email.nokia.com, and downloaded the Nokia messaging client, but apparently the same version (9.05(75)) is preinstalled and I can't reinstall it. Interesting point though, if check the version of the email client, the about box shows version 2.0.5. So I'd be curious to know what client my phone is actually using...
Once the problem is "on", the email client somtimes loses the entire mailbox from the main email client window, and it is always missing from the settings window. But once I close the client and reopen it, everything looks normal again.
I tried Googling for a solution and searching this forum with no luck. I was quite frustrated as I get a lot of email I would like to see ASAP, so I was at a loss as to how to fix this.  Luckily, after a few days of bugging me, the phone suddenly decided to start working properly again ! Almost properly that is. Right now I can open my mailbox and check my mail manually (without having to reopen the email client every time), but it isn't syncing the mailbox automatically. Also, the original problem has reappeared twice during the past week, but fortunately went away with restarting the mail client.
So has anyone else experienced a similar problem? Inability to open a mailbox and/or mailbox not syncing? My MfE mailbox has been working and syncing fine all this time, it is only the IMAP mailbox which is having problems.
I've tried every trick I know besides a total reformating of the phone. Can anyone offer an alternative solution?

Well it seems that the phone fixed itself. Today I did a reboot because the phone was acting all slugish, and lo and behold after the reboot it actually started checking my IMAP mailbox again! (And yes I've done a dozen reboots without the problem resolving...)
So now my phone is fully functional again, but I still would like to know what happened, because there clearly is some bug in the IMAP client that caused it to work erratically. It would be nice if some tech guy from Nokia could say that they are fixing bugs on the IMAP client for the next firmware

  • IMAP mail problems -- is someone fixing this?

    Hi
    I've seen a ton of questions the last day on imap mail problems. I am experiencing the same on my gmail account; it's kicking out a message that my password is incorrect.
    I get the password is incorrect at imap.gmail.com; have logged out of gmail on the Mac, logged back in, checked that imap is enabled, 17-tuple checked the password, etc.
    Seems a lot of folks have this problem on various providers...is this an Apple problem, and are they doing anything about it?
    Thanks

    I know this from experience and general knowledge.
    If your account's password is rejected with an email client on your computer and with your iPhone, how do you figure this has anything to do with Apple?
    AOL reported problems today with AOL account access via IMAP with an email client only. Webmail access with a browser was not affected. This was an AOL server problem which had nothing to do with Apple or with Microsoft for those with a PC who couldn't access their AOL account being accessed as an IMAP account with an email client on their PC either.
    Have you contacted Google or Gmail customer or technical support?

  • Nokia E72 IMAP mail problems

    Cross posted from here: http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/showthread.php?p=680673#post680673
    Yeah, E72 e-mail client needs real work if it wants to be a competitor with iPhone 3GS (two of which I own) and Blackberry.
    So far, I found these problems with it:
    1. The e-mail client should be able to display all IMAP folders. Currently there is no option to do that. This is a major functionality problem. In fact, displaying all folders available on the IMAP server should be the default. Instead, the client offers the folders that don't exist at all - silly choice indeed (for instance, I get a choice to see "Sent Items", which doesn't exist on any of my IMAP servers).
    2. If large number of IMAP folders is selected, e-mail client won't work any more (becomes frozen for lengthy periods of time) and may even corrupt mailbox setup (in my case, it renamed two of my mailboxes to the same name - it just called them Email). Note, it didn't corrupt my mail - it corrupted mailbox setup on the phone. Essentially, mail doesn't work after large number of folders have been subscribed to. The client keeps connecting/disconnecting and eventually gives up.
    3. There is no selection for sent folder. This is a critical feature for any IMAP client. It would be nice if drafts could be selected too, but that's not critical.
    4. IMAP IDLE is not implemented properly. There are a number of selections as to when to poll the IMAP server, but that is not proper push e-mail support. There should be an option for the client to keep the connection open all the time and reopen it if/when it goes down. Currently, it is impossible to have "always on" IMAP IDLE support. Which then means that e-mail delivered to IMAP server will not be picked up by the phone for many minutes.
    5. Email, if configured, should start when the phone is rebooted. As of now, it doesn't, which means that even if one configures polling for e-mail and the phone is rebooted, the mail will not be picked up.
    My Nokia E72 is E72-2, software version 021.024.237.02.
    PS. Can someone smack Nokia Australia support people around the ears for replying with utter nonsense to customers' questions, please? It's annoying when real bugs get reported and people that have no idea what the problem is (let alone the solution) reply with garbage.

    Hi all what a  nice discussion on e 72 issues and I hope Nokia developers also work like users. 
    I have 5 e mail accounts configured g mail,yahoo,hotmail,ovi and my company account which is  gmail apps . Except for gmail nothing seems to work .
    First of all for email to be successful like BB push mail should work automatically . That is whenever one gets connected to net mails should down load as per parameters set . This is not happening .
    Secondly i still do not know why mails do not download on  manual mode also when you go to" send receive now "..I have noticed that mails do come into some of my  accounts when I am  connected to the net and simultaneously mail is being sent . I have tested this more than once in my office . Otherwise push mail does not work . This seems to be  a serious bug .This means push mail is a flop. Further there seems to be some peculiar issue with yahoo mail .This is an issue I have for a long time . I also feel after a while whole thing gets coorupted and perhas this is the reason why e mail system stops working .  
    Thirdly and most annoying thing are  the messages which keep pooping asking for password for different e mail account .Any one else having same issue ? 
    High nokia advises customers as to what they have done and what can be expected out of this system . If nokia mail system fails they will loose lot of ground to BB and apple and they can not survive selling only voice/message phones at exorbitant prices .  

  • TS3276 Is anyone else having IMAP mail problems with OS 10.8.2?

    I upgraded to 10.8.2 a couple weeks ago. My email worked just fine until I got a "mail update" message on the 9th. Since then, I'm connected to the internet but the system keeps asking me for my password. My password hasn't changed & I can go into the server and access my email directly using my password. I worked for 2 hours with the server folks and they think it's a bug in the new OS.
    The mail connection doctor shows connection to server succeeded but the IMap account failed.

    Constant problems: asking for password, not retrieving mail from the server,leaving things in the outbox. Then it can be fine for days. iPad and iPhone apps sometimes hang for a bit as well.
    A friend just bought an iMac and has had nothing but trouble with ROGERS mail. Support guy walked us through the whole set up today and everything was fine for a while and then it just quit.
    I am wondering if having an IPad, computer and phone all communicating with server at the same time causes problems.

  • Imap mail problem

    Hi I have an ipad mini but I am having problems accessing my default gmail account. The error message is staring: the mail server imap.gmail.com is not responding verify that you have entered the correct account settings into the mail settings. It is working on my iPhone and laptop and all the settings appear to be the same. Any help would be gratefully appreciated!
    Thanks

    Try deleting and re-adding the mail account in the Settings app.

  • E75 not connecting to corporate (IMAP) mail server

    Cannot connect my new E75 to corporate IMAP mail server (Exchange), using SSL/TLS.
    I have E71, and this device connects with same settings to corporate email without problems.
    The same E75 connects to Gmail perfectly.
    The most weird is that it connected once, downloaded three arbitrary emails and that is it, no connection anymore.
    I am not using MfE, because I do not like MfE usability, I am using "regular" POP/IMAP version of the email client.
    Does anyone have any helpful hints? Thank you!

    If one searches the web there are many similar problems being faced on this device (E75) - whether you use GroupWise or Exchange. We have used the IMAP client on all previous Nokia phones upto and including the E71 with total success. That includes accessing the same mail boxes - E71 100% E75 only works with HTML mail - not text or richtext. Nokia representatives have been to our offices and seen the problem - they believe its an incompatibility between the new IMAP client and mail servers - what they don't know - are trying to find out if we can load an older IMAP client -
    One would think NOKIA would look into this and let everyone know what the problem is and any solution. This kind of thing without speed communication chases people away from a brand and its hard to get them back.
    Nokia please help all the users experiencing problems.

  • Is anyone suddenly having Mail problems connecting to Yahoo servers?

    I run two Intel iMacs on my home network.  Both run Snow Leopard.  On my machine that runs 10.6.8, I recently installed several Safari updates. Currently Safari is at Version 5.1.5 (6534.55.3), my wife's iMac Safari is Version 5.1.4.  I began having problems downloading email from the Yahoo server (I have ATT UVerse broadband service).  Internet access seems solid but I started getting constant requests to enter my password for the Yahoo server.  ATT and the alleged Yahoo tech support have been unable and unwilling to help beyond reading the usual scripts.
    My wife's iMac is able to send and receive emails using the Apple Mail client, I can only receive emails using Mail, sending results in an endlessly spinning wheel in the "sent" mailbox.  I have carefully examined the Mail Preferences on my wife's iMac and verified that they are duplicated on mine. For some reason, my Mail cannot send to the Yahoo SMPT server.
    Any suggestions to this somewhat convoluted question?

    I see that you are both having the same issues as myslef. I think I may have a solution for your problem. In your mail accounts section (Mail > Preferences > Accounts) rechange the settings to as follows:
    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
    Hope this helps!

  • Mail problems after upgrading to Leopard 10.5.6

    To day I upgraded my daughter's MacBook to Leopard 10.5.6 (from about 10.3 ?)
    During the install the only problem was at the very end, the configuration wizard failed to make connection with the internet because Airport had lost the password for my wireless router. Once this had been reinserted we had instant internet connection, but by then I had closed the wizard.
    Everything else went well except for Mail, the most important application!
    When you click on Mail in the docking area it appears in the bar at the top of the screen but no window opens. To get one open we had to click on file> new viewer window. But this window was blank. Clicking on get new mail did nothing. No emails of any kind were visible. Checking the account details showed that they had transferred correctly, and the diagnostic window showed that it was connecting to the server and logging into the IMAP mail account OK.
    Rebooting the Mac did not help.
    The Mail program has to be forced to shut down, it won't exit gracefully.
    I could not get it to send a message either, click "send" and it just sat there spinning its wheels.
    At no point did we get any error messages.
    We took a backup of the entire system to an external USB drive before the upgrade and all the files associated with Mail appear to be in the same place as before. There still seem to be hundreds of emails on file, we just can't see them. Clicking on one of there email files does nothing.
    Is this a known problem? Is there some new feature of Mail we are not using? Has Mail failed to upgrade correctly? Any ideas how to fix this?
    I've just found a note on theappleblog.com that suggests that Mailbox > Rebuild will solve this problem, but on this machine "Rebuild" is greyed out.

    Hi,
    Please note that this upgrade related problem would very likely be what has been covered by the support document at the link below:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2537
    If you also find any files named to include MessageSorting (which would mean you once have upgraded from a version of OSX earlier than 10.4, which is clearly the case for you), remove those, also, but never restore those.
    Often this is all that needs to be done, but you might then need to force an overall reindexing via the removal of the Envelope Index. Note the special instructions when forcing the reindexing of IMAP or Exchange accounts in the following:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/14019.html
    This will force the reindexing of all the POP mailboxes and all On My Mac mailboxes. With regard to any IMAP accounts if you have any, the practical result of this action of removing the account folder, is that with the IMAP account still set up in the Preferences, Mail will connect to the IMAP server and create a new account folder, and while doing so will index the messages in the mailbox folders of the IMAP accounts on the server.
    Keep me posted.

  • Gmail and IMAP mail accounts no longer work in the mail app since iOS 6

    I'm getting the User information or password is incorrect message.  Or it takes 10+ minutes to send a message.  It will no longer allow me to sync with my IMAP mail account from work.  Everything worked correctly, then iOS 6 is released and it's hosed.  I've looked online elsewhere and a few people from google are aware of the problem and are trying different things.  I tried enabling two-step id with google and providing an app-specific password to no avail. 
    Highly frustrated in this, and also in the fact that there are no useful workarounds.  Anyone have any thoughts?

    Hi, just update your extensions ( "Change quote and reply format 0.8.1" has to be installed an to be active) by using the updating-function for extensions integrated in Thunderbird.
    Or - if the extension is removed - install the latest version from the devellopers website: https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/changequote-en.html

  • IMAP-Mail sender adapter handling with read messages in mailbox

    Hi,
    (PI 7.0)
    we have a "funny" situation:
    We are using imap-mail-sender adapter polling a mailbox.
    Sometimes there are read messages in mailbox so the adapter cannot read these messages.
    When we sort all read messages and we mark e.g. the second message in list as not read, the adapter polls fetch the first (already read) message and afterwards the not-read message and afterwards no other message is read.
    I think this behaviour is wrong because pi should not handle an already read meassage.
    Does anybody know this problem?
    Or is it a problem of the mail-server (Exchange 2003)?
    Thanx and regards
    Wolfgang

    Hi,
    thanx for your answer.
    The default behaviour of imap is "only fetching unread message" (s. FAQ of mail adapter)...
    The mail sender channel with IMAP4 fetches only the unread messages from the specified mail box in the order they are stored. Therefore, please make sure that you have some unread messages in the top of the list (if ordered by most recent on top). After a polling cycle, you can look at the status of this channel at the adapter's monitor. This should show any error if the messages are not processed correctly. Once the messages are read but not processed correctly, they remain in the mail box but are not read in the subsequent polling cycle. You must correct the problem and delete these messages using your mail client program or reset them as unread so that they can be resend.
    In our example the adapter fetchs read messages too (till the first unread one)  - and this is wrong (i think so!?).
    But I dont know if its a MS-Exchange problem.
    Regards
    Wolfgang

  • ICloud Password in Mail Problem

    Why does mail keep asking the following:
    Enter password for account iCloud.
    The iCloud IMAP server “p07-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user.
    What is this all about, why and how can it be solved?
    thanks

    The funny thing is that it seems to happen most often on my Mac in mail than on my iPhone or iPad. I have had to shut down and restart my computer and then it works but eventually it happens again. This seemed to start with iCloud.I have no problem with the mail on iCloud.com.
    Any possible suggestions?

  • "Internet Mail - Problem during delivery processing" email received

    Every email I'm receiving as of this morning is accompanied by an email from [email protected], entitled "Internet Mail - Problem during delivery processing"
    Is this an issue on the Mac server side or a problem with my Mail app?
    Many thanks in advance.

    My Wife and I both have an Ipad and an iPhone, I use an iMac and my wife a MacBook Pro.
    I have this problem with all my devices.
    My wife has NOT got this problem.
    We both use a [email protected] email acount.
    Just compared the settings:
    For "Incoming server" I have p03-imap.mail.me.com
    My Wife has p02-imap.mail.me.com .... and has not got this problem.
    I have setup a new rule for incoming mails (for the meantime):
    move all incoming emails from [email protected] to trash and delete it.
    Works fine for now,......until APPLE deals with the problem.

  • More and more mail problems

    What a disaster. I've written about my mail problems before with mail before and I know what I managed to do this time is my fault, its something "I" don't understand about mail. But man am I screwed.
    I use my imac 98% of the time and I get 100% of my email on it (mobileme, concast, gmail). All works fine.
    A week ago I have an emergency appendix surgery and am doing rather poorly so I'm in bed on my macbook air. I need to get my email on that computer. I enable the email accounts so I can get all my "new" mail. Ugh, it starts syncing and bingo 2 weeks worth of mail on my imac is gone. No where to be found. Tons of work mail, important mail, lordy this is a mess.
    I know it had something to do with syncing.. the only account that is imap is my mobileme but I lost a ton of mail in that and its not on either computer or on the mobile me page either. It's just gone. And so is the gmail on the imac and again that isn't imap its a pop account and it was mail that was not in my inbox, I had received it weeks ago and put it in other mail boxes I created (like the work folder). And it just is all gone.
    IF anyone can shed some light on what I did and how to avoid this, I'd love that. Should I have just gone to the websites to check the mail (gmail site, comcast.net, mobileme site?)
    I am really in trouble with this email thing I lost stuff that I can't recreate. What a huge huge mess.
    thanks for any insight,
    Susan

    The issue....just resolved itself! I have not a clue how this happened...

  • Asha 200: Cannot setup IMAP mail account.

    Hello
    I'm trying to setup an IMAP mail account on Nokia Mail app.
    It's a simple and straightforward configuration (or I thought it was), but I'm allways getting an error "Cannot login. Try again later".
    I tried the same configuration in Mozzilla Thunderbird and some old Sony Ericsson with sucess.
    All other accounts like GMail or Hotmail are working fine. Internet also works
    Does anyone has a clue?
    Thanks.

    Hello:
    I've a similar problem with my Nokia Asha 302 because I can connect to IMAP server but the phone don't get the messages after the sync, the phone inbox is empty but there are a lot of new emails un the server.
    I'm using an institutional email account that's work using the gmail server utilities but with a specific server address. The same account is accessible using the same IMAP parameters but in another nokia phone (X6) and also in my tablet Toshiba, so, is not a server or configuration problem.
    My Asha 302 is up to date with software version 15.09.
    Did you resolve your problem?

  • Unable to delete IMAP mail account in Yosemite

    I have set up a number of IMAP mail accounts, but have changed servers. I'm unable to delete the old accounts in the "Accounts" tab of Mail with an "error" dialog referring me to "Internet Accounts" tab of System Preferences. The accounts do NOT exist in this list. The accounts have been unchanged for years and have migrated with each OS & Mail.app upgrade.
    I don't necessarily wish to delete the accounts - if I could just edit the server details that would do the job, however that  field is greyed-out and can't be edited.

    I am having the exact same problem. iPhone 5 on 7.1. I try to 'turn off' contacts, the phone requires me to 'delete my account'. I agree to do so, and the phone just 'hangs' at the 'Delete' screen. I have allowed it to continue for over a half hour.
