Email time out

Hi,
We have DSL and a mix of a PC, and a Mac running Leopard, using the router via wireless connection. Internet works fine on both. Outlook works fine on the PC. The Mac mail program worked fine up until a week ago.
The Mac email program will no longer send or receive email. Attempting to take my email accounts on-line gives a rotating pinwheel in the email program and an exclamation mark to the side. Clicking the exclamation mark gives back the message "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for acount "Gmail" or try again. The server returned the error: The connection to the server imap.gmail.com" on port 993 timed out." My niece brought her Mac laptop over, and connected to the internet fine, but has the same problem with the email program.
This problem did coincide with moving the modem to another location in the house. Unfortunately, Verizon technical assistance was of no help, and transferred me to Apple. However, this seems to be connection related, and not computer related.
Thanks for any help.
DWN

Hello Dwn_Jkm,
I just read your post and I do apologize for any frustration. However, the error that you received "The connection to the server imap.gmail.com" on port 993 timed out." is advising that there was an error when trying to access Google's email server. There could be many reasons that this is not working properly on the program MacMail.
Here is a useful link in regards to email:

Email times out?

I just wrote a long email and when i pressed "save in daughts" it said it had timed out. It also does this when i press send. This has happened one too many times. Can i retrieve my email or have i lost it forever? My windows account never does this.

What you say doesn’t make sense to me. Are you talking about Mac OS X’s Mail or about .Mac mail on the web? This forum is for discussing issues related to the Mail & Address Book applications included with Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). If you’re not talking about Mac OS X’s Mail, but .Mac mail on the web instead, the right forum for such questions would be .Mac Email On The Web.

BB Torch (unlocked). Cant setup email (times out when selected) via Virgin Mobile

Hi Everyone
I have a BB Torch 9800.
It was originally registered on the Rogers network, and everything worked fine.
I recently unlocked the phone, and switched to Virgin (ie new SIM card), including a data plan.
Im not able to setup an email account now.
When I go into Setup->Email Accounts->Internet Mail Account, it says "Check for updates'.
After a couple minutes it will timeout saying it can't connect.
In searching the fourms, I came across Host Routing Table settings. My HRT has "* No entries *'. I have "Register Now", which tells me the Registration message was sent, however I havent had a response back.
Im also wondering if this phone is still "registered" with Rogers somehow?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

My providor is Virgin Mobile in Ontario, Canada. A quick web search seemed to indivate they support this BB, but IM not positive. So it coul just be thats the issue.
From what I can see in the official Download Portal, Virgin Mobile Canada indeed does support the 9800...you can double check here:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/apps-and-software/desktop-and-device-download-sites.html
If a carrier lists an OS package for a specific BB model number, then the carrier supports that model, and everything should be fine.
But, that is step 5...what about the things included in steps 1 through 4? Those, of course, are all steps...requiring the success of a prior step before considering proceeding to the next step. So, for instance, if your voice services aren't yet working from Virgin, then you should not even be thinking yet about getting data to work.
As to your questions:

How do I go about registering the BB onto their network - namel generating the proper Service Book delivery.
Do I request this through my BB?
Normally, I suggest the following steps, in order (again requiring success before proceeding), even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Unfortunately, we already know that your BB fails on step 1 here (register HRT)...which then precludes moving on to step 2. Which leads me back to the prior steps...did steps 1 through 4 all result positively?
phantasie wrote:

Would the providor do this for me automaticall?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no...when in doubt, the steps above are the way to force it.
phantasie wrote:

If it does not work with what is above, then the next logical step would be to contact the carrier for formal assistance...after all, it's their network with which you are attempting to get your BB to communicate.
phantasie wrote:

Do I login into BB to do this (ie I found this link https://bis.na.blackberry.com/html which I tried logging into, but it says my device isnt registered on the network. It told me to setup my Host Routing Tabels to fix that, which I tried, but hasnt worked yet).
There is more than one way to accomplish many of these things. But, until your BB properly registers to the carrier network (HRT), attempting to go any further is pointless.
With all of that, we're back to steps 1 through 4 of what I previously sent...if those are not completed properly, then nothing else will be useful.
Good luck!

Windows Live Mail 2012 - Outgoing Email Times Out due to Lost Server Connection

Using Windows Live Mail 2012 on WIN7 64-bit.
Been receiving emails seemingly without issues, but...
Haven't been able to POST any outgoing emails now since September 16th for any of my main/sub accounts.
Indicator is a Norton Internet Security popup stating:
"Email Error. Your email message was unable to be sent because the connection to your email server was interrupted. Please open your email client and resend the message from the Sent Messages folder." Then it lists the from/to/subj.
I recompose and try to resend; same results.
I've rolled WIN7 back to September 6th, but results are the same.
I thought perhaps NIS was blocking the SMTP port, but same results when I turn off NIS and Antivirus. I don't see anything of significance in NIS's logs.
Of course, Verizon's mini-app that sniffs out and corrects email problems does not know or care about Live Mail. Just Outlook and OE.
Ideas? Things to try? Thanks.

I noticed my email account server settings don't match what is defined on the FiOS email setup page on verizon.com.
The server setting I have for my POP3 is "incoming.verizon.net" (not pop.verizon.net) and my SMTP server setting is "outgoing.verizon.net" (not smtp.verizon.net).
Why don't these match?
Also, my port settings don't seem to match what's posted online.
My outbound port is 25 (not 465) and my inbound port is 110 (not 995).
Doesn't seem right to me, and I'm wondering what changed in the past week?
The changes to pop/smtp from incoming/outgoing have been in the works for a while. Maybe Verizon finally go around to disabling the old servers?
Either way, you should update to the latest settings.
For the sake of example, we are going to pretend that we are setting up fictional account "[email protected]" and the password for logging into that account in webmail is "fakepassword" - Again, this is a fictitious account for the sake of an example.
The settings for using Verizon's servers would be:
Incoming Server: pop.verizon.net
Server Requires Authentication: Yes
Username: fakeacct
Password: fakepassword
Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): Yes
Port: 995
Outgoing Server: smtp.verizon.net
Server Requires Authentication: Yes (You can set it to use the same settings as incoming, or manually enter the username and password.)
Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): Yes
Port: 465
If you are given the option anywhere for Secure Password Authentication (SPA), set it to No or Normal

BT email times out far too fast

(Please answer by email, not by phone.)
When I am logged in to BT Email, the email page shuts down in a minute or two and I must re-open it. Why is this? Earlier today the BT Email kept on dropping while I was typing a message. Please allow the BT Email page to display on my computer for a least ten minutes before it sloses down.

gg's right. I wouldn't want to suggest that the webmail service should be anything less than perfect, but the fact is that many of the sundry problems reported here simply do not arise if you use an email client. Relying on webmail is also intrinsically less secure because it entrusts storage of personal records to a third party as well as providing a useful contacts list to anyone who manages to hack into your account.

Email stuck in Outbox - Server times out

I sent an email with an attached pdf - should have checked the size of the pdf first. After about 5 to 10 minutes I get a Server Time out error. I closed and opened the email program and it tries to send the email again.... How can I delete the email with out opening the program?
Thanks in advance. Dale
G3 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Dale,
Welcome to the Discussions.
Quit Mail, if running. In the Finder, open Home/Library/Mail/Mailboxes and locate the Outbox.mbox file, and delete it. Mail will create a new one, when next you go to send.
Are there any messages in the Outbox you wish to save? If so, don't delete, but only drag out to be on the Desktop, and post back.

I'm using Entourage 2008 v 12.3.5 and lost ability to SEND. Tried many small email tests. Server continues to leave time out message. "An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic.

I'm using Entourage 2008 v 12.3.5 and lost ability to SEND. Tried many small email tests. Server continues to leave time out message. "An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic." Comcast tells me server is not down all other network activity is fine. WHat's up with this?

Starting earlier today, this also became my problem - can receive but not send in Entourage. The account settings are correct in Entourage - I even created a new account. My Mac running 10.7.5 won't read the original Office : MAC 2008 disk, so I can't do a fix or reinstall from the disk.
This is not an issue if I log onto the Comcast site.
And so, I started using Mail but, unlike Entourage, Mail won't import my Entourage info.
Argh... :-(

New email settings causing time outs or not working

So they send me a notice to change my email settings as soon as possible in which I did as instructed. It ether just runs, hangs or times out. I hate to call these people and talk to "John" or "Jane" -sigh-. Any ideas?

Thunderbird email client times out making IMAP and POP3 connections to gmail and hotmail.

After autoconfiguring several gmail accounts with Thunderbird, and then using them, they stopped working after I switched to Verizon High Speed DSL. All of the accounts time out while trying to get email.   Non list an error. While trying to auto configure a hotmail account, it failed during password loggin.
Disabled Windows Firewall
Disabled Norton Firewall
Disabled modem-router firewall
checked IMAP settings in Thunderbird.
deleted and then reautoconfigured the accounts to reset the passwords.
enabled IMAP manually in gmail and POP3
checked SMTP ports and IMAP default port numbers
checked for normal password
checked for SSL/TSL text
Checked with Verizon support who said that they don't help Thunderbird clients.
Tried logging in manually to all of the accounts to make sure the passwords and usernames were correct ...works.
help! "connection to server timed out"

Not exactly the same, but I am pretty sure the fix will be the same.
give it a whirl and let us know.
Solution for sending MS Outlook and SMTP e-mail through Verizon FIOS for GoDaddy e-mail
The FIX...I had to log onto the xxxxxxxx(at)verizon.net e-mail account via the WEBMAIL version for Verizon.
I then went to Options-->More Options on the top, right menu.
Go to the Accounts menu on the left.
Click Add Account button toward the top.
I only entered information for Sending Mail.
     Account name (any name you like...I called it GoDaddy)
     From Name = my display name
     e-mail address = my GoDaddy e-mail address
     I then moved my cursor to the username field in the Receiving Mail just so my cursor wasn't in the e-mail address field anymore.
Verizon couldn't even help me with this. This should be a standard check for them whenever they receive a call for SMTP issues. I think they are trying to get everyone to use their (at)verizon.net e-mail account as their primary account. This will help them retain or gain future business. I think it's bad for business overall.
==========
Note the "Test Account Settings..." button failed on the test send of a message, but all other tests passed fine. My messages are sent fine even with this part of the tests failing.
The above is true for a lot of third party email providers (not programs but email providers)

Outgoing server times out - can't send any emails and don't know what to do

I receive emails just fine in my MobileMe account but when I try to send them they get stuck in outbox ****. It is an IMAP account and I have tried the connection doctor - which shows the server times out - as does the message box that pops up. I have a Genius Bar appointment for tomorrow but this is driving me crazy. Any insight would be much appreciated!

I had this occur several times before, some time ago & wish I wrote down the fix. I too am experiencing the same issue for the last 2 days; so my guess is it must not be my computer since nothing has been changed except I did a "sync" & that is the only thing different in the last few days.

Hi there,
There may be a conflict between the network settings and your devices. I would recommend taking a look at the article below and comparing that to your routers current settings.

Using AOL emails, Firefox goes into a "not Responding mode" I have to wait until it times out.

using AOL emails, Firefox goes into a '''"Not Responding" mode.
I have to wait until it times out. Happens every time I log on.
I am using windows 7, HP lap top. I am using MSE for virus detector. This may have started sense I switched to MSE.
I am not sure.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Session Time out happens on Win2k Advanced Servers

Hi All,
          I have configured a Admin server and 2 cluster servers. All are on Win 2000
          Advanced Servers. After deploying EJBs to the cluster, when I try to log in
          to our application ( Presentation logic is done by servelets & JSPs ) it
          allows to log in but when I try to click a link to go to another page
          session time out happens. This happens whenever I click a link or browser's
          Refresh button. I have to repeatedly log in.
          Have anyone faced this problem ? Is there a session time out problem with
          WLS6.0 sp2 ?
          Please respond.
          Thanks
          Nalika


Sorry I have fogottoned to add :
          This problem occurs when I try to setup clustering manually as well as, as a
          Win2k service (i.e Admin server & cluster servers as Win2k services)
