Email No Longer works

Suddenly after years of using mac mail I can no longer connect to my pop server.
I have tried on 2 different mac computers and my password keeps getting rejected.
I have contacted both my ISP and my domain name hosting service and they say it is a problem with my computer.
I can access my mail through the internet webmail in around about way.
Help!

Open Keychain Access, choose Keychain First Aid from the application menu, and proceed to repair the Keychain. If that doesn't work, you may try removing the password entry from the keychain, and let Mail create it again.
Also, open Mail Help and read the article titled Mail keeps asking for my keychain password, in case it applies to you. There is a related article titled My password is not saved that you should be careful with, as the last suggestion provided there (deleting the mail account) is wrong and could cause irretrievable data loss if this is not an IMAP-type account.
If nothing works, then this is probably a connection issue (some ISPs don't allow multiple simultaneous connections from the same IP address, for example). If Mail can connect to the server but cannot log into your mail account for some reason, it'll ask for your password, regardless of whether that's really the problem or not. Don't keep entering the password every time, because that's not the problem.
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network > Show: Network Port Configurations, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
Also, try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc., and see whether that makes a difference.

    I have updated to ios 7 and Microsoft outlook web access for work emails no longer works nor my remote access can you help

    This happened to me as well. I read somewhere else that resetting the network settings (General, Reset, Reset Network Settings) would help and it partially did. I get half (the folders) of the Web Access screen rather than a blank screen. I tried tihs a few more times and got the right half (the messages) on occasion but never the whole web page.

  • My telus email no longer works after installing the new os Yosemite

    my telus email no longer works after installing the new os Yosemite

    This is a problem between Telus and Yosemite.  Telus, of course, blames Apple. 
    Check the box that says "Allow insecure authentication"  That will get your email working.
    However, this box will get un-checked when you stop start Mac Mail.  The next time you start Mail, you'll have to re-check it for each Telus account.  (This is the bit that Apple needs to fix.) 

  • ICloud email no longer working on Window 7.8 Phone

    I have been receiving my Apple emails on my Windows 7.8 Phone successfully for the last 2 years. About 3 months ago emails could no longer be sent or received and I typically get the following error codes dependant upon how I have my IMAP/SMTP settings configured; 800c2746 or 80072FA8.
    Apple email is working fine from my Android tablet and also from my Windows 7 PC and I've tried replicating these settings on my phone without success. I've googled the problem and tried all the different set up options I can find but not have worked. I'm beyond frustrated now and I suspect Apple has broken something during the recent iCloud work for IOS or Yosemite as nothing has changed on any of my devices and it's only my Windows phone that no longer works.
    Does ANYONE have a Windows 7 Phone (mine is a Nokia 800) that is successfully sending and receiving iCloud emails as of today, 2nd November 2014. If you do would you be kind enough to tell me what server settings you are using.
    Thanks.

    We have exatcly the same problem with Samsung omnia 7 (Windows phone 7.8).
    We are using the Server settings from this page: iCloud: Mail server settings for email clients - Apple Support
    We have this problem since mid september and no solution.

  • Why is my att/yahoo email no longer working properly?

    [this is my second attempt to post; first effort not allowed as I did not have authorization-??]
    I can open any one email, as normal. Links within an email seem to work, when I try them. However:
    Once I open an email, I can not delete it or close it.
    When I click "ACTIONS" or 'COMPOSE" the pop-up message "LOADING..." never completes, apparently looping.
    When I click "COMPOSE", a text msg appears on the bottom of my screen indicating, I think, what the computer is reading:
    us-mg205.mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?.partner=sbc&.rand=cgcse0vj3t121#/minty/page/compose
    if I attempt to delete, the same msg appears, minus "minty/page/compose"
    When I mouse-over or click the gear wheel (settings) icon it merely spins and does nothing. Same text msg, except instead of "minty/page/compose" it reads "yucs-help_inner".
    This situation arose about two days ago on my laptop. The same email works normally with Safari on my Ipad, also on my laptop via Windows Live Mail (which I no longer use but still have the program). Thus this appears to be a Mozilla/Firefox issue?

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • My exchange email no longer works

    I have deleted my email account countless times but still it will not connect to the server. I took it to the Apple shop who said as a last resort reset the phone to factory setting. So I backed up my phone to icloud and wiped it and still my email will not work. It has been suggested on the forums that the issue with some iphone 5s is the latest 8.3 update. I'm at my witts end as I need access to my email, I just returned from Rome and couldn't access any of my emails for work.

    This may help - I won't be able to try it until after work though

  • Email no longer works after an iPad restore

    I've tried reinstalling my two email accounts through Settings since doing a restore of my iPad 2, under iOS 7.1.2. I can no longer get either account to send or receive, despite many efforts. Internet works fine.
    In both cases I have POP accounts (and please don't sidetrack this with remonstrations that I should use IMAP). One is Gmail and the other is a local provider. They used to work, they don't now.
    One thing that has changed is that, as I understand it, Gmail POP accounts can no longer be set up through the "Exchange" option, as I was able to do three or so years ago. Instead I've seen it suggested that I set up the account through "Other". The "Google" setting appears to be for IMAP accounts only.
    I've been unable to find clear instructions through Google's help. So far the Google Accounts Team has offered me only generic config settings — not specific to Mail — that don't solve the problem. Ideally there would be definitive screen-by-screen instructions somewhere but I haven't any that work for me.
    Please help!

    App opens to blank screen, the borders of the different sections are there.  stays for 10 seconds or do then crashes to the home screen.
    interesting note I was trying to send an email with 22 photos before this started happennig(app crashed then as well)
    closed the app
    restarted
    home/lock reset
    tried all of the above multiple times
    i was able to send an email from pdf expert no problem just now, just for kicks and it was recieved and I got a notification that it was recieved.
    ipad 2 ios 8.1.2 just updated today after the issue started (from 8.1.1)

  • Email no longer working for my WordPress site

    Not sure when this happened, but my wordpress site will no longer send emails.  The only time I get an error back of any help is when i try the password recovery utility.  It displays
    The e-mail could not be sent.
    Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function...
    Which is odd because this used to work just fine when I first set this all up 3 months ago.  Do the shared sites have email disabled now?  How can I get this working again?  I tried looking through wordpress for email configuration and testing,
    but didn't find anything there.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
    Chris

    Oh wow, that's odd.  It worked just fine when I initially setup the site.  Never heard of having to install a plugin to get SMTP working for a wordpress site.  I've always understood that you'd simply have to configure PHP to let it communicate
    with the SMTP server, which naturally happened when I installed the WordPress site from your plugins.  Which doesn't mean to say that it's impossible for it to be different than what I imagined.  But really, I'd be surprised if this is "standard
    wordpress practice".
    As with all wordpress plugins, there's a worry about installing a malicious one in your site.  Is there any that you all could suggest to "re-bridge" the gap in this functionality?
    Also if this is the default behavior for the "website preview" which has been provided by running on shared instances, does this mean that if we were to decide to upgrade the site to be on our own instance, that we'd have to perform the same tasks to get

  • My Hotmail email no longer works on my iphone or ipad.  I know it has something to do with MS changing to Outlook, but what do I do to make my email work now?

    Help!  My hotmail started saying that the password was wrong at about 8pm tonight and I kept entering the password but it kept saying it was wrong. I tried to delete and reenter the account and it is saying unable to verify.  Talked to my Mom and she can't access her msn.com email on her iPad.  HELP!

    I had to go to my hotmail account (on my laptop) and change my password.  It's requesting that I do that every 72 days.  My mail app and settings on my 4s keeps shutting down.  Even with that, it was still asking for my hotmail password.  I entered my new one and it does not ask me for a password any longer.  I think that Outlook was asking everyone to reset their passwords after  the update.  Now, if I could just get my mail app or settings to work for any of my other email addresses, that would be fantastic!

  • Links in email no longer working under Yosemite

    I have several email signatures which contain icons that link to websites, etc. However, since upgrading to Yosemite these links no longer function. I can use command-k to add/edit/remove the link, but they do not work. Can anyone make any suggestions?

    If the iPad will not accept any input at all - try a reset. If this only occurs in the Xfinity email - something else is going on.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.

  • Own domain email no longer working

    Hi there,
    I have a Blackberry Torch on Vodafone UK which I've been using for several months very happily. I had set up two email addresses - a hotmail.com account and an email account with my own domain name ([email protected]). Up until this morning they were working just fine.
    This morning I noticed that a lot of emails were coming into Outlook on my PC but not coming to my handset. I sent test messages from my handset and they never arrived in Outlook. So I resent the service books, got the usual "set up successful" message, but still nothing. I did a hard reset, but no change.
    I logged in to Vodafone's BIS site and removed the mydomain email account, as in the past when I have had problems removing it and re-adding it seemed to fix it. However, now I can't put it back on! Even when I add the additional data via the website I get the following message:
    An error occurred during email account validation. Please check your information and try again.
    I tried the same process via the handset and get a similar error message:
    Invalid email address or password. Verify your email address and password. If the error persists, contact namesurname.co.uk (i.e. my domain)
    Now, I know that the password is correct as I am using the same one to log into my webmail and to get emails in Outlook. I have checked the email server in cPanel for my domain. So as far as I'm concerned all of the info is correct.
    What else can I try? I've set up a forwarder for my domain mail to a newly created vodafone mail account in the meantime, but it's not ideal as this doesn't have the "delete on mailbox and handheld" option. Unfortunately I've tried calling Vodafone twice - the first person I spoke to said he would ring me back in under two hours, and that was five hours ago. The second person was far from helpful. Please help, this is very frustrating!
    (Update: I have also changed the password for my email account to ensure that it is DEFINITELY the right one, and deleted almost all the messages from the inbox (there were some over 8MB which may have been causing the problem). I have also completely deleted my BIS account and started again from scratch. Still no joy.)
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi
    Just a quick update. 
    Spoke to my hosting company and they checked all the info I was putting in and found it to be correct and can't understand why it isn't working.  They suggested I contacted my phone carrier. 
    Spoke to Orange and they were really helpful and tried to set it up from their end but got the same error messages.  They can't see anything wrong from their point of view and can't understand why it isn't working.  They suggested I contact the hosting company again, which I have.
    Not heard from Blackberry.
    Have you got any further with it?

  • One POP email no longer working in Imail

    I have two POP email accounts that have been working quite well on my MacBook for several months.  About a week ago one of them stopped receiving emails.  I have deleted the account and set it up again to no avail.  If I check the account information it lists all the emails on the server.  PLEASE help me figure this out.  I can open it on my browser and the mail is being delivered just fine there - just not on my imail account.  The two email accounts that I have are set up the same and only one is receiving mail.  Thank you for any help!

    Attached is a link that gives the settings for my web-based email http://help.securepaynet.net/article/4715
    All settings on both email address are set the same in my Mac Mail.  One is working the other is not.  I am also receiving emails for both accounts on my blackberry.  This is an Apple problem as there are many others that have reported the same problem on Apple's Support page.   I have deleted and re-entered this email and still nothing.  There are email messages that are listed on the server but are not being delivered to my email account.  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
