Error (0x8004210E) The server responded: -ERR [IN-...

On one of my sub accounts I cannot receive any POP3 emails and get the Outlook message:
" Receiving' reported error (0x8004210E) : 'Your mailbox is temporarily unavailable because another e-mail message is being delivered to it or another mail application is accessing it.  The server responded: -ERR [IN-USE] maildrop busy."
There is no other device (of mine) accessing the account, sending mail is OK, and webmail works. It is not the settings as all my other subaccounts work and it is not a password issue as webmail works.
What is wrong?

If you do a Google search, its a common problem, typically

  • My iCal won't go online and returns the error message: The server responded with "500" to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.

    My iCal won't go online and returns the error message: "The server responded with “500” to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation."

    OK Now I can answer my own question.  The incomprehensible (inexcusably geeky) error message is actually Apple language for saying simply: "The iCloud servers are down again.  Please wait until we've fixed them."  I found this out by talking to Apple support.  It took about 12 hours for the iCloud server synching calendars to come back online.  When they did, my calendar reloaded, and everything was fine.

  • An error occured while sending mail: SMTP server error.  The server responded: (null)

    I'm getting this set of error messages intermittantly:

    This problem may occur at low-use times when Messaging is installed with the
    Trend virus protection software on the same system.
    <P>
    Change the version of the Trend software from 3.0 to the older 2.62 version.

    It's possible that your provider has made a change.
    I think STARTTLS usually is used with port 587, instead of the standard SSL port 465.
    Could you look up your provider's current SMTP settings to see whether your "Outgoing Server" settings need to be updated? If it's difficult to translate between your provider's help page and Thunderbird's dialog controls, you could provide a link to your provider's help page.

  • My ical is constantly giving this error message: The server responded with "400" to operation CalDAVScheduleEventQueueableOperation.   Go Offline   Revert to Server . What does it mean? It´s driving me nuts.

    I am syncing to Icloud. Iphone and Ipad works fine with this setup, but my Macbook Pro just doesn´t seem to get it. I have all latest updates. I can not detect any different response from the Mac weather I click <Go offline> or I click <Revert to server>, but the message comes up about 50 times a day(!).
    Also - I seem to have a problem answering to some invitations (I invite myself from my work calendar (win Outlook). Shouldn´t I be able to answer them ?

    I am having this problem too...and also I (most of the time) can't invite anyone on my google apps domain to a meeting. WEIRD! HELP!!! I just switched to Mac from PC...this was supposed to be EASY!
    I get all kinds of error  messages...
    1) The request for “Test Appointment” in “[email protected]” in account “yyyy.com Google” failed.  The server responded with “400” to operation CalDAVScheduleEventQueueableOperation. *My google calendar *IS* updated despite the error, but the appointment is greyed out on my calendar.
    2)  The URL https://calendar.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user///calendar.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user/ encountered HTTP error 404. Make sure the URL is correct. The URL *IS* correct.
    Also, when I try to invite people to appointments, iCal adds random attendees and frequently will not add an attendee if they are in my domain. HELP.

  • Error message: The server responded with an error.

    I keep getting this error message and I don't know how to fix it: "The server did not recognize your user name or password on (mobile me ) account.Make sure you enter correctly. I DID enter it correctly. I've gone to my mobile me account and put in same apple id and password and it opens mobile me. The error message pops up everytime I open email, calendar. My calendar window keeps bouncing up and down after I get the message. Also, on error message, is a calendar icon with the date Jul 17. on it, but I have no idea why that date is significant.
    In Sept. I did have to bring mac to Apple and had to dump data and then restore it. This error has happened ever since but I can't figure out why. Please help!

    Greetings,
    1. First make an iCal backup:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    ---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    Once the computer is back up and running open iCal.
    Go to iCal > Preferences > Accounts and delete your MobileMe account if present.
    Quit and re-open iCal and then check iCal > Preferences > Accounts to make sure the MobileMe accounts stayed gone.
    Now re-add it as Account Type : MobileMe and enter your full MobileMe email address and password exactly.
    Hope that helps.

  • Calendar error 403: "The server responded with an error"

    Whenever I get a calendar update from one of my clients who uses Outlook on a PC (e.g., changing a meeting date), I get the error message shown below. The blurred-out part is the event title, and "Work" is a calendar name. This happened before I upgraded to Yosemite, though I can't be sure the error message was exactly the same.
    Clicking Try Again doesn't work, the message keeps repeating. I'm not sure what the results of the other two choices would be.
    What's going on, and how do I make it stop?
    thanks

  • I keep getting the error message "The server responded: "403" to operation CalDAVMigrateToServerQueueableOperation" when I open Ical.

    ps Ive tried deleting Ical from ICloud, & turning it back on, but it doesn't work.
    thanks-

    If you are using two step validation then need to set a special log in for iPhoto as it can not handle two step validation
    Otherwise in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
    OR
    IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

  • "The server responded with an error" - Calendar

    I get the error message "The server responded with an error" every five minutes from the calendar app, along with the following:
    "The URL https://calendar.google.com/calendar/dav/[my e-mail is here]/user/ encountered HTTP error 404. Make sure the URL is correct.
    I used to sync a google calendar but deleted it because I don't use it anymore. I just want the error message to go away.
    Thanks for your help!

    My use case is slightly different; we still use our google calendar inside "iCal", and we got the same error text.
    Not sure whether this will solve it longer-term, but I simply deleted the Google account from Calendar / Accounts...  and then re-added it. After ~20 minutes, the pop-up has not popped up, so I'm calling this 'success' for now.
    Here's how:
    In Calendar on the Mac, choose Calendar / Accounts... ( this will open System Preferences / Internet Accounts )
    Find the Google account which is syncing its calendar to iCal
    Select it (click) and then remove it by clicking the minus icon [ - ] below the list of accounts. Read and confirm that you're removing the account. It's your choice.
    Close (quit) Calendar if you have not already closed it. This may not be necessary, but I quit the application just the same.
    Back in Internet Accounts, click the [+] to add a new account. Choose Google.
    Enter your Google account name and password. Choose Calendar and un-check any that you do not want.
    Re-open Calendar and the google calendars should re-sync and display as expected. If you chose any custom colors, you may need to reset them according to your preferences.
    I hope this helps. Good luck!

  • Ical Error :The server responded with an error.

  • ICal error-  The server responded: "403" to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation.

    I added downloaded calendar events last week and since I have been getting this error.
    The server responded:
    “403”
    to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation.
    I have tried syncing my iCal and no resolution.
    Any suggestions?

    I had an event that was rescheduled, and was sent a new invite. desktop iCal had a problem trying to move the old event into the future date. It gave me that message above, the 403 error.
    So I went into iCloud online and into iCal there and deleted the old event. Accepted the new event and it worked.
    It couldn't automate that for some reason, and I think it has to do with the desktop remote software itself. When I deleted the original off iCal on iCloud, it updated on my desktop immediately.

  • The server responded with "400" to operation CalDAVCalendarSplitDualTypeCalendarQueueableOperation.

    I had similar problem to error message.  I saw a response to try the following:
    ERROR MESSAGE:
    The server responded with
    “400”
    to operation CalDAVCalendarSplitDualTypeCalendarQueueableOperation.
    I tried a suggestion to go to SAFARI >PREFERENCES>PRIVACY and then click "Remove All Website Data".  Then rebooted my MacPro.
    Result:  It seems to have stopped the pop up error message.  It had been popping up every 10 minutes or so.  But I have now gone 4 hours with no repeat incidence.
    Hope this might help some of you.

    In the Internet Accounts preference pane, delete the BT Internet calendar account. If you don't use the account, that's all you need to do. If you do use it, recreate the account with the same settings.

  • "The Server Responded With An Error"

    Y'day I was pasting details of a reserv into ICAL.  it was perhaps too much data.  As soon as I clicked to paste, I got msg "The Server Responded With An Error" & below that was the info I was copying into my calendar.  Then calendar froze.  Then "Force Quit", then reopen Ical & the same msg appears and frozen.  I attempted to drag the msg to trash to no avail.  I rebooted computer.  Everything else is working on my MacBookPro.  I do NOT have Lion.  Thks

    That sounds like something went wrong in the database the governs syncing.
    Restore from your backup to restore your calendar.
    Reset your sync history: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iSync/3.1/en/9247.html and then follow the steps:
    Go into iCal > Preferences > Accounts and delete the MobileMe account from here.
    If you are using it you can then re-add it and be careful to enter in the correct name and password.
    Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    __NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
