Email downloads in Mail on Leopard but not Tiger

I recently switched three email accounts to a new host with new POP and SMTP. On my work computer (which is running OS X 10.5.4) I have the accounts set up and they appear to work just fine. On my home computer (running OS X 10.4.11), I have the accounts set up, but only one of the accounts can send and receive email. Same POP and SMTP servers, same ports as the work computer, as near as I can tell everything is the same. Is there something I may be missing? I have set up many email accounts and this is the first time I've come across this weird thing. (I can access all my email through the mail server's webmail; I just can't download it to my computer.) Any ideas?

That's OpenDNS' numbers...

Faster, safer, and more reliable than many IsP's DNS numbers.
The fact that it worked is proof that your ISP's DNS Servers are a bit flaky, or the Router/Mac weren't communicating properly.
Great to hear though!

  • When I send an email with bcc recipients, the bcc does not show in my sent mail so I can't reference back later who I sent the email to. Worked in Snow Leopard but not in Yosemite. Please advise if their is fix for that.

    Did you select View->Bcc Address Field from the menu bar?

    I have Mac OSX snow leopard , which I think is OSX10.6.8. I did as I was told and migrated to icloud having advised that not all devices were up to the Lion. I now find that the mobile phone receives the emails and so does the ipad, but not my desktoptop. I have received an email from apple saying I would be able to receive the emails. Why cant I?  What do I have to do ? Surely it is not necessary to buy another upgrade???

    10.7.2 is required for full iCloud facilities, but you can still use your email. In theory you should be able to access your email in Mail at the same server settings, but this hasn't worked for everyone: you can set Mail up manually to access your iCloud email:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    Once migrated, your mail will also be available at http://icloud.com

  • After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

    After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

    My gmail, which is correctly configured for Mail with gmail SMTP and Google IMAP, works for awhile on Mail, which I leave open while working on other applications. But several times a day I get msg from Google: "We recently blocked a sign-in attempt to your Google Account" . . . and requiring me to verify my account details, re-enter passwords, confirm security settings (or change them from "disable" to "enable less secure methods" and so on). In Mail I also have tried "taking all accounts online", and re-entering my gmail password inside Mail account settings. These steps successfully re-set comms between gmail and Mail ... for awhile, then it happens again. Enough occurrences over a work day that I just quit Mail and revert to accessing gmail directly. Apple Care advisor and an Apple knowledge base article say that Apple can't deal with this, as gmail is third-party app, and they refer me to gmail, and so far I've found nothing helpful there.
    From today I also have several instances of a window saying "Mail has unexpectedly closed" and asking me to Re-open it.
    I also use Yahoo mail, which stops working with Mac Mail at the same time as gmail, but I do not receive notices to re-verify from Yahoo.
    I recently upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. The Mail problem happened occasionally with Mavericks but is far more frequent with Yosemite.

  • Want to delete mails from Thunderbird but not from the server?

    Hi,
    Please tell me how to configure the settings of Thunderbird so that if i delete any mail from Thunderbird that mail would be delete only from Thunderbird not from server. I'm using IMAP configuration for all my mail accounts and I'm using Thunderbird in my laptop and tablet both.
    Currently i'm using Thunderbird 24.4.0 and i just want to delete my useless mails from Thunderbird but not from the server without using pop-3 settings.
    Actually the reason for this Question arises because whenever i use to uninstall and reinstatement Thunderbird, i use to take "profiles" as a back up and its size is increasing day by day that is making a big issue to me as i cant take a back up of such a big size file.

    Imap mail accounts keep the emails on the server and you see a remote view of those emails and folders.
    When you subscribe to see a folder, the headers are downloaded, when you select an email to read, the entire folder is downloaded to a temp cache facilitating quicker access. If you synchronize folders, then a copy of that folder is downloaded to an mbox file in your profile, so that you have a copy of the server folder. When you make any changes to a synchronized folder, read an email, delete or move etc, then Thunderbird will resynchronize with the server to update the server. A synchronized folder allows you to work in 'offline' mode and this is the best time to perform a backup as you know there is a temporary stop on synchronizing as you are offline. They will resynchronize when you go back into 'online' mode.
    So, with IMAP mail accounts, the folders you see in Thunderbird are the same folders on the webmail server. If you make any changes via Thunderbird or webmail then you are changing the same folder. You cannot delete an email without deleting it from the server, they are one and the same.
    What you can do is move/copy an email into Local Folders and delete the one on the server. The Local Folders emails are kept in your Profile on your computer, these folders/emails are not on the server, unless you chose to keep a copy of them on the server.
    Pop mail accounts cannot see the folders on the server. They only access the server Inbox folder and download emails not previously downloaded to the mail account Inbox in Thunderbird. These emails are kept on your computer in your profile folder. You can select to keep a copy on the server or not. You can choose to delete emails off your computer and off the server or not.
    If the mail account is gmail , have you subscribed or even synchronized to see the 'All Mail' folder ? Gmail's all Mail folder is their Archive folder, it keeps a copy of all of your non-deleted emails. So, you do not need to subscribe to see this folder as it only shows you what you can already see in other folders. It doubles the disc space.
    Please read section on 'All Mail' at this link.

    You do not have to download/synchronize the entire folder. You could select to only synchronize the most recent xx days of emails.

    since moving to iCloud, my mobileme email works ONLY on my iPhone, but not on my PC with Outlook.  I get an error message indicating the authentication is not accepted.

    To anyone who has viewed this post and is having similar difficulties, the answer came on a different forum: I dragged & dropped the files from Mail to iCloud Drive. Opened them on my MB Air, they were saved in Templates and are now accessible across all my devices.
    Answer came from SGIll: Numbers templateshttps://discussions.apple.com/message/27505880#27505880Numbers templates

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately you can't delete accounts, you also can't change or remove iCloud addresses.

  • I've downloaded iOS 8.0.1 but not installed it, what now?

    I've downloaded iOS 8.0.1 but not installed it, what now?

    Try a reset.
    Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home button together. The screen will go blank but don't let go until the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)
    If that doesn't work, install iOS 8.0.1 then update to 8.0.2

  • I want to be able to access my photos that are stored on iCloud – I see mail and contacts but not my pictures?   I have been backing up for a long time -  Where are they?

    I want to be able to access my photos that are stored on iCloud
    – I see mail and contacts but not my pictures?
    I have been backing up for a long
    time -  Where are they?   

    You can't view them on iCloud.com.  And photos (and other data) stored in your device backup can't be viewed, other than by restoring the backup to your device.
    If you want to view your photos on the web, for the time being you will have to add them to a shared stream (album) with the Public Website option enabled.  This will give you a private url to view them from a browser.

  • Upgraded to Tiger; Mail can Send, but not receive... help!

    Hi there,
    I've come across lots of issues people have had importing all their mailboxes when they've upgraded from Panther to Tiger, but my wife's problem is different - - Mail can Send, but not receive. 'Get Mail' hasn't worked since the upgrade. I've been on the phone with my POP server provider, and all my Mail Account settings are correct. I can send mail, as I say, and sure enough, there it is in her Hotmail web page, along with all the other messages people have sent her in the last two weeks...
    So why can't Mail 'get' these messages, if all the settings are correct?
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Malcolm

    You’re welcome.
    If you deleted a POP account, then all the messages stored in that account’s mailboxes has certainly been wiped out, not just moved somewhere, and you were warned that this would happen by the following alert:
    Remove Account
    Are you sure you want to remove the <AccountType> account "<AccountName>"?
    This will permanently delete the account setup information, mailboxes, and messages from your computer. Messages stored on the mail server will not be affected.
    To prevent that from happening, you should have moved those messages to custom “On My Mac” mailboxes instead of leaving them in the account’s mailboxes. Actually, using Inbox and Sent for archiving purposes is a bad idea regardless.
    If the messages are not on the server and you don’t have a backup (which you should have made before doing something like that), you may try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage (the files to be recovered would be different in the case of Mail 1.x). Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.

  • My mail will receive but not send emails?

    I am not able to send emails in MAIL, but receive them.  I use a gmail email account in MAIL.  I've never had a problem until a couple hours ago.  Anyone know of troubleshooting info regarding this please?  Thanks.

    One thing you might want to do is search on google to see if they are reporting any issues with mail client usage.
    Also, another option would be to reboot your Mac. Sometimes all you need to do to fix an odd problem with a computer is to reboot.
