Entourage 2008 with IMAP mail account - cannot work offiline

Hi,
i've recently configured an IMAP account (not mobile me) in entourage 2008.
I've configured the accounts to download full bodies from all folders. However if i start entourage offline then i cannot see my IMAP folders and can only access my inbox messages.
when i'm online, everytime i start entourage all my imap folders are empty and i need to open each folder to get the messages downloaded.
i've tried to download the emails in side each folder by right-clicking on each-folder and selecting download full email bodies.
i've tried to create a rule to retrieve emails from the server.
i've tried to edit the schedule to make sure each folder was selected in the advanced options and selected all messages. Strangely enough that setting (in the folder synchronisation window) disappears every time i restart entourage.
i've tried setting up a new identity.
i've tried setting up a new identity on a different imap server.
i've spent hours on google but haven't found any thing helpful except the things i tried as mentioned above.
none of this has been working. i believe i'm doing something wrong as other people seem to be able to work offline with entourage but can't find what.
any help is appreciated.
thanks,
Brett
P.S. I also configured the same IMAP account in Mail.app and all works fine. Entoruage is the my preferred mail client.

Netscape prevents accessing a Netscape webmail account with any email client such as the Mail.app.
You can use the Netscape program only with a Netscape webmail account.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • Changed email from pop to imap in entourage 2008 and apple mail and have lost a lot of messages

    Changed email from pop to imap in entourage 2008 and apple mail and have lost a lot of messages. I am a rookie and don't know what to do to correct the situation

    I found this great set of mail AppleScripts:
    http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
    It includes one script to delete duplicate messages. So if we can't find a way to do this right, then I'll just download all the duplicates then delete them. Of course I don't want to actually do that, lets call this the nuclear option.
    So can anyone think of a way to make an IMAP account for my gmail without it downloading all the messages again that I have already downloaded?

  • Mail doesn't sync properly with my university IMAP mail account after installing LION... help!

    Mail doesn't sync properly with my university IMAP mail account after installing LION... worked great before with snow leopard.
    when i try to configer the "incoming mail server" section, I fill everything out correctly and yet I get this message:

    there is some text explaining it after. If i press continue anyway, no new messages are transfered from my university server to mail on my mac.
    I am running a 2010 13" macbookpro
    thanks for any help!

    Try one of these other free email clients:

    You might put in a call to your university's tech support department. What you're experiencing is likely an issue they can help you with.

    Maybe the mail server is down.

  • IMAP mail account is not receiving emails, but sending.

    Thanks.

  • Can't set up IMAP mail - configuration cannot be verified

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble setting up the IMAP mail from my work exchange server in a fresh install of Thunderbird. Once I'd put in the server address Thunderbird retrieved all of the security settings, which I've checked agains the provided settings that are listed in the webmail. I've also used these settings to set up IMAP mail on my phone to triple check everything. However, in the account set-up screen I still recieve the message "Configuration cannot be verified - Is your username/password correct?" (again, I checked everything I was using independently and they were accepted). Once I got out of the initial set-up screen the error changed to the following:
    "The Kerberos/GSSAPI ticket was not accepted by the IMAP server <my email address>. Please check that you are logged into the Kerberos/GSSAPI realm."
    The only possibility that I can think of is that Thunderbird is trying to use my email address instead of the server to authenticate which is why I'm recieving the error. The mail address is [email protected] while the server is soliscom.uu.nl.
    Any help or suggestions that anyone has would be welcome,
    Cheers.

    Under Tools/Account Settings/<i>accountname</i>/Server Settings, check what you have for Authentication method. "Normal password" is the most common setting for secure connections, not Kerberos/GSSAPI, which seems to be why you get the error message.
    But if you are sure that Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication is required, see this article for instructions on how to make the necessary change in Config. editor:

  • My ATT IMAP Mail account will not receive mail unless I rebuild the mailbox.

    Hi - I have one ATT IMAP Mail account that does not receive mail promptly, often taking hours or even days to arrive unless I rebuild that particular mailbox. Another IMAP account with a different provider works fine. I have tried to figure out the problem with ATT, but they seem to think the problem is Apple Mail. I know the mail should be arriving because I can see it in in webmail, but it doesn't arrive until immediately after I rebuild. What's up with this and how do I fix it?

    AT&T uses Yahoo for mail service, and Yahoo often causes problems with Mail in OS X, so there may not be a good solution. You can try the following.
    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • I am having real problems with my hotmail account not working on my iMac

    I am having real problems with my hotmail account not working on my IMac but works absolutely fine on my Iphone 5. Can anyone help with the setup for iMac. I am with BT for my Broadband. I am cionverned if I route my Hotmail accoutn to GMail will iy stop working on my Ipone.

    How are you accessing Hotmail?  Via your web browser?  Are you using Apple Mail?  Outlook?
    The answer will be different depending on how you want to access Hotmail.
    If you are using an email client (like Apple Mail, Outlook, Entourage, etc.)) then you need to set up a mail account in your email software.
    The incoming Hotmail settings are these:
    Incoming server: pop3.live.com
    User name: Your full Hotmail email address (aka "me @ hotmail.com" or "me @ live.com")
    Password: Your Hotmail password
    POP port: 995
    Use SSL to connect : yes
    The outgoing Hotmail settings are:
    Outgoing server: smtp.live.com
    User name: Your full Hotmail email address
    Password: Your Hotmail password
    SMTP port: 587 (override the default port if necesssary)
    Use SSL to connect : yes

  • I have an iPad with IMAP email accounts set up but I can find no "inbox, drafts, trash" folders anywhere, either on my ipad or desktop Mac.  How can I set them up?  They do not show on my MacMail preferences either and I can find no way to add them.

    I have an iPad with IMAP email accounts set up but can find no "inbox, drafts, trash" folders for each email account anywhere on my iPad or in Mac Mail.   How can I set them up? I can't find anyway to set them up anywhere.  Thanks

    Hello blu monkey,
    I found some resources that I think might help with the visibility of your IMAP email folders on your iPad and Mac.
    On your iPad, you may need to follow the steps in this article to make sure your folders are visible:
    iOS: If IMAP Mail folders are not visible
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1393
    On your Mac, I am not sure if you have the sidebar enabled, but you can enable it using the steps in the article below.  When this is showing, you should see your email account listed near the bottom with a triangle next to it.  When the triangle is pointing down, it should show your folders:
    Mail (Mountain Lion): Show or hide the sidebar

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • How to change "Full Name" in iCloud IMAP mail account information

    Brand new to this forum so please excuse any newbieisms. I am running OS X 10.7.5 I created an iCloud IMAP mail account so that I can sync with my iPhone.
    Windows Live is my original mail account. All is good except the "Full Name" in "Accounts" preferernces is somehow incorrect. When I send mail frm my Mac, this incorrect name shows in the "From" field. Mail sent from my iPhone shows my correct name as it appears in my phone cloud settings. The name doesn't sync in iCloud. All other syncing is good. When I try to change it manually in my Mac mail preferences, I get the message "the"Incoming Mail Server" field can not be empty" when I try to save the changes. The aforementioned field is not empty and is in fact greyed out as this was self populated upon creation of the account. I can't even change the case sensitivity of the name or I get the message. As a stop gap I have created an alias to send mail with, but would like a proper fix. Any ideas?

    If you created a new iCloud account it would have a new associated iCloud email account.  You wouldn't be able to move your current @icloud.com address to the new account.
    Just to double-check, after quitting (Command-Q) and re-opening Mail, did you start an new message and click the down-arrow next to From to see if the new sender name was available from the drop-down list (see image below)?  If so, you might try signing out of iCloud entirely.  To do this, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then sign back in and test Mail again.  (This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your Mac, but not from iCloud.  Your iCloud data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

  • 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.

  • My att/yahoo mail account quit working on my home M/B Pro after my iphone was linked to the account.

    Several weeks ago my work upgraded my phone to a I Phone 5S and linked the phone to my work and home E-mail accounts.
    The phone works perfectly to send and receive both, but my home M/B Pro mysteriously quit linking to my ISP:  Att.net (Yahoo) account.
    Suggestions?
    Is there a more user friendly E-mail program other than Enourage 2008 for my mail account.  (Extremely impossible to move users, saved emails, settings up to new upgrades / installs.

    There are no viruses or trojans affecting iPhones unless your phone is jailbroken or hacked. 
    "Losing" email account passwords is not that rare and can be caused by a variety of factors that corrupt data - that's why you should be frequently backing up and syncing the phone.  Just reenter your password.
