Everyone's complaining about .Mac email or MacMail! But who has a solution?

Just like everyone on this discussion board, I am having a maddening increase in recent weeks of the following 1) duplicate messages appearing in my inbox after I've already deleted or moved them, sometimes more than twice depending if I keep trying to move/delete the same emails, they keep reappearing 2) messages I've read suddenly appearing as Unread, 3) delayed mail downloads, sometimes for even the smallest of files w/ no attachments. I'm having no other trouble with my ISP or other net software.
Although the increase of occurrences is recent, I've been having this issue all year in varying amounts of regularity and have posted before about the problem. I've been told I might be moving the files too quickly or not letting them download fully before moving them, but if this many people are complaining and if I have to wait 10-15 minutes each time my Mail software gets my mail from the server, then I want my $99 back. As it is, I want it back anyway given the problems and the inability to contact .Mac about the issue and get an answer.
I've combed the other posts about the issue, but I've not once seen a solution to the issue.
How do we get a fix and furthermore, how do we get .Mac to acknowledge this issue responsibly?

Hello,
It has been acknowledged, and the fix will have to be at the server level, and not in the Mail application, nor by settings on individual Macs. Reports are consistent, even for those accessing with other mail clients, and non-Macs.

I have 2 .mac email accounts, one of them has a sub-address. Can I keep all 3 .mac email addresses in iCloud?

You will need to migrate each account seperately using the Move website, the alias will also be migrated to iCloud with whichever account it is under (the only problem with aliases, occurs when you have more than 3 in an account)
When you log into iCloud on the computer running Lion, iCloud will update your mail accounts for you, on the computers running Snow Leopard you will have to set up the mail accounts manually. Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
You won't be able to use your iCloud contacts and calendars on the computers running snow leopard with Address book and iCal, but can access them from the web interface at iCloud.com

I set up an apple id for my 12 year old, a verfication email was sent, but google has locked her out because of age. How do I get the verfication email?

Should each person in my house have their own apple id and password?
Can each of the different ID's be linked back to my apple account so that when they purchase apps and music it will be charged to my credit card?

Ask Google... they locked you out of the email account.

Question about mac email attachments

Hi,
Troubleshooting for my boss who is having trouble opening email attachments in her mac email from just one friends email account.
The attachments are xls and pdf files from a pc user who is using yahoo mail. This happened suddenly in the last week. The mac user can open other peoples attachments of the same file extensions. The mac user can also open the same blocked attachments if the files are forwarded from a different user to them. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a configuration I can change in the yahoo mail of the pc user that could have triggered the mac user to now seemingly be blocking attachments from the pc user? Several other mac and pc users can open the same email attachments from the pc user who is being blockied from my bosses mac email account. Hope this made some sense and thanks in advance for your help!

Its a Mac Pro running 10.9.4.
If it matters the pc user is running windows 7 home addition.
The problem began after the pc user accidently sent the mac user a tiff file. The mac user was unable to open that tiff file and then suddenly all other files sent by the pc user regardless of file type could not be opened by the mac user. They work together so it's imperative that they be able to send xls and pdf files back and forth. Thanks for your help.

I can still access my .mac email via Mail but not in iCloud

I set up a new iCloud email address and tried to add my old .mac address (via Manage your Apple ID) and get a message saying that "email address is already verified for another Apple ID".
I can still send and receive emails on my older .mac account via Mail, my iPad and iPhone. I just want to be able to read my .mac email in a browser if I were to lose the other devices.

Try simply dismissing the popup by hitting cancel and then Get Mail from the account in question.

My facebook profile photo shows up on an email to a friend who has a yahoo email address, but is not my Facebook friend. All my FB privacy settings are at the max. Is this a Yahoo privacy issue? I don't want my photo to go to other than FB friends.

I recently sent an email to a friend, who is NOT a Facebook friend, who has a yahoo email account, and my Facebook profile picture appeared next to the email. My privacy settings on FB only allow FB friends to see my photo. Why is another yahoo account that is not a FB friend seeing my profile photo and is there a Yahoo privacy setting that will eliminate this from happening? Thank you.
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== this week

Did you check that your Facebook settings haven't changed?
Facebook may have changed them as part of a software update.
Is there a link in that email (signature) with a link to that picture?

Can't send emails in macmail but can receive them for some accounts

I have 3 email accounts through BT. My BTYahoo mail is now receiving and sending through macmail after reading the forum thanks. However my me.com account and 123-reg account (business) won't send as all outgoing servers are offline and no matter what I do they won't change. I have removed the accounts and set them up again to no avail. I have OS 10.8. Any ideas gratefully recieved.

Have you checked the tick box in the advanced outgoing mail setup screen to use SSL? This should use a different TCP port than standard SMTP that many ISPs block unless you are using the ISP servers.

I delete an email in MacMail, but Outlook keeps popping it back over...

I am an educator and my school system "upgraded" their Exchange Server and subsequently put Outlook on my computer. I configured Mail to pop over from Outlook, but now, I can't delete an email sent to my school email account without opening up Outlook and deleting it....it just keeps reappearing in my inbox.
The problem is not the same on my iPhone or iPad, just on my MacBook Pro. So, I go for several days while the emails pile up, then open up Outlook and delete them one by one when I can't stand it anymore. Also, when Outlook is open, my computer runs at about 1/2 speed...everything slows and bogs down.
Can I just delete Outlook from my computer? Will that solve the problem????
Thanks!!!

That didn't help. The emails just keep getting "pushed" through. Anybody else have another solution??
PLEASE HELP! This is MADDENING!!!!

I backed up my ipad to new mac then synced it but it has not put all my pdf files on. How do I get them back.

How do I restore pdf files that were not included in the syncing of my ipad. Everything else was and some pdf files were. Apparently I find them in Library but I can't find Library. It doesn't appear that you can do it through time machine either.

HOW TO COMPLAIN ABOUT NOKIA 6230i

Hi Nokia Users
I would like to request that more people with 6230i handsets complain to nokia either by phone or email.
The reason i am asking everyone this is that it seems whatever is posted here in discussions doesnt get any attention from nokia.
I and many others have complained about this handset for months and nothing has happend not even an NSU response.
Nokia seem to focus more on newer handsets and forget about the majority of the true honest customer.
This handset should be seen as priority immediately over and above all other handset right now regardless of what anyone else thinks.
So email nokia or phone get as many complaints as possible.
Madmick

just to make it clear to everyone the 6230i was released in 2005 not 2002 .
the mobile everyone is getting mixed up with is the common old 6230 note no (i) at the end.
even though this mobile is nearly two years old it should still have full support remember you and everyone else who has a nokia handset wouldnt like it if support for it was cut off after just six months..
so dont expect me to accept the lack of support as i have stated many times before.
read as many of my posts as you can before making any statement or posting any answer to me.
just a small breakdown of the issues
the 6230i has over 30 known faults with firmware older than 03.80 or 03.88.
the present released firmware is definately 04.22 not 03.88 and that is directly from nokia and a number of friends worldwide who work in the mobile phone industry including and especially Nokia...
so to put it politely i should have a free firmware for my handset like everyone else as i have no warranty and i am definately not paying any more money for my £200 handset that has already cost me an extra £150 since purchase .
so please do not write back and say take it to a service centre as they are the main problem..

Email problem sending .Mac email from pda Treo650

Can anyone please help? Thanks in advance.

My computer has been infected with a Trojan Horse. It has completely taken over my Mac email account and was sending out malicious email to everyone in my address book. At the same time it infected my iPhone---I am no longer able to receive or send emai

My computer has been infected by a Trojan Horse. It has taken over my Mac email account and began sending out malicious emails to everyone in my address book. I cleared out my MAC address book and began using my AOL email account. It took a few days and then my AOL email account was infected and has now been send out malicious email to all my contacts for over a month. It has also infected my iPhone--I am no longer able to send or receive emails on my iPhone. Also, once the Trojan Horse began using my AOL email it completely blocked me from using my MAC account by sending never ending popups asking for my email password to access my MAC email account, but it never accepts my pass word. The TH has also slowed down everything on my computer. It's like I am working on an old PC with dial up connection instead of the high speed digital connection that I have. The little color wheel spins constantly as I wait for sometimes over a minute for a page to pull up. If it pulls up at all. I have tried to use the 2 disks that came with my computer to completely remove everything on my computer and then reinstall all the programs, but I am not allowed to sweep my computer clean. I thought maybe my disks that came with my computer were defective so I called Apple and they sent me 2 new disks. I am not able able to clear my computer with the 2 new disks either. I have done this before successfully so it's not something new to me. I do remember when I believe my computer became infected: I had googled an unusual sewing term, and I was opening what appeared to be legitimate sites, when all of a sudden a pop up appeared that said that my computer had been infected. I immediately shut my computer off, but it was too late. I downloaded a virus program for Mac, and it has never found a virus or problem at all. I think it is part of this Trojan Horse, but I am unable to delete it from my computer. It refuses to uninstall. The Mac Trojan Horse is real and it is terrible. If anyone has any suggestions for me I would be very appreciative,
Beth

Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

Sound like a pfishing email rather than your account being hacked. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4933.
