Exchange mail in mac mail stopped working

I have been using a exchange IMAP mail on my mac mail for several years now. Recenty the volume of emails in my inbox was exceeding the size limit set by the administrator. I created seperate mailboxes on my mac to store old emails, which was working fine for sometime. However, all of a sudden one day, my mail stopped working correctly: The inbox is constantly thinking (the circiling bars are always circiling), it does not move emails to my offline mailboxes, it does not erase emails, it take at least 15 minutes to receive and/or send emails. I have tried to update the envelope index but no change. I have the same account on my ipad and iphone, and both work fine, only on my mac book (lion ISO) is it not working.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

  • Apple's Mail 4.5 just stopped working. Any Fix for it, please?

    Apple Mail 4.5 just stopped working - no email gets in or out.
    Details:
    Account is set to get me connected to my gmail address.
    When try to send email  the wheel for sending spins endlessly with no result.
    No incoming emails arrive either.
    When I open the same email address directly from Gmail in Web browser  all works OK.
    Settings of Mail are exactly as recomended.
    Did trash the account and tried to re-create again.  The Mail gives message that Gmail server is not responding.
    Did try to create  another account with completely different server - the same result  -message that this server is not responding either.This is incorrect  because I can open and use Gmail and the other email perfectly well with Firefox browser.
    Obviously the problem is with Apple's Mail not able to make connection and operate properly.
    I dont have any special firewall setting, etc. All is set properly. A couple if days back  Email 4.5 worked ok.
    The question is: How to fix  this Email 4.5 and make it work again (or I should just get rid of it altogether)?
    Thanks for any competent tips, fellow Mac users!

  • Cannot send mail from mac mail or Entourage

    Hi guys,
    Wondered if anyone out there can shed some light on this little problem.
    I use Entourage for my emails & all was working fine until yesterday. I can receive mail from all and sundry but I can't send anything. I subscribe to ntlworld internet service and if log onto my email through their webmail, then it's fine. I've tried sending mail from mac mail and I get the same problem. I've been onto microsoft support & gone through all the troubleshooting with Entourage. The Entourage techy suggested it was my internet provider blocking my emails as they think I'm a spammer?? I phoned ntl & they insist it's nothing to do with them as I can send/receive from the website. (If I send an email with the address @ntlworld it's fine, but any other address i.e. all my clients/mates etc just stays in my outbox.
    Nothing on any of my settings has changed so I'm at a loss what to do next.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Mel

    it may be that your server (internet provider) has just started blocking outgoing mails not authenticated by them.
    Go to your account set up...
    and fill in the following details.
    SMTP SERVER: smtp.mac.com
    then click on advanced sending otions...
    click on override default SMTP port... type 587
    click on SMTP servber requires authentication...
    use same setting as receiving mail server.
    try this...

  • Cannot send mail in Mac mail

    On my Macbook Pro I can receive mail in Mac mail, but the sent messages sit in the Outbox. I have tried Synchronize Gmail and Connection Doctor will not allow me to connect. The only server that comes up is Gmail. Any suggestions???
    Have an appointment at the Apple shop, but not until Thursday next week??? Thanks Mel

    Hi Haggie
    Had a similar experience but couldn't work out why macbook was working and imac not. I hate verification with bt. Anyway, tried your method and as you say eureka! Did have imac plugged in before and put it on wifi to try your fix  I will try plugging broadband back in to see if that works and will post back but at the moment just enjoying the moment!
    Just to say a big thank you for not only sorting the problem out but equally importantly posting the answer! Too many people sort out their problems without letting other people know how!
    Many thanks

  • Incoming AOL mail in Mac MAIL Inbox disappears after a week

    I´ve setup my AOL e-mail accounts in Mac MAIL. Receiving and sending mail via my AOL accounts works fine, but incoming mail will stay only for one week in the Incoming mail folder of Mac MAIL. After one weeks it disappears from the Incoming mail folder and it´s not longer available in MAIL at all. (I can only access it throught the AOL software or AOL Communicator themself, where it´s archived.). Sent (AOL) mail on the other side is still available in the Sent folder of MAIL. Is there any way to keep/store the Received AOL mail in Mac MAIL?

    Hi Padua & JWurzak!
    I don't know if this will help, but, in your AOL Preferences > Mail: under Automation, do you have the two options below checked?
    Save the mail I read
    Save the mail I send
    Also, in AOL Preferences > Filing Cabinet: do you have Automatically delete items in my filing cabinet checked, and Never selected, in the contextual menus below?

  • Face book has stopped working on my I pad.  I got to it through Safari as i do on my mac. It works on my mac but stopped working last night on my i-pad

    face book has stopped working on my I pad.  I got to it through Safari as i do on my mac. It works on my mac but stopped working last night on my i-pad

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
    If you stillc an't access Facebook via Safari then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    There are a number of Facebook apps (including an 'official' one), which might be better than accessing it via Safari

  • For some reason, the Flash Player on my MAC Pro stopped working, I've checked the install on my Adobe Flash Player and the are current, but the plug-ins don't seem to be working.  Can anyone help me get it working?

    For some reason, the Flash Player on my MAC Pro stopped working, I've checked the install on my Adobe Flash Player and the are current, but the plug-ins don't seem to be working.  Can anyone help me get it working?

    It happened w/ my MacPro 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon about 5 months ago; tried everything I could think of including multiple downloads of Flash, and hadn't seen any solutions here.  Adobe insisted many times that I download & update, but the newest vers. wouldn't work on the computer.
    On checking Adobe/Flash was reading the computer as being an earlier model. So the new version of Flash wouldn't work w/ it.  Snow Leopard 10.6.8 was being read correctly but not the computer model (can't remember what MP model  it was reading).
    Nothing worked. So -- a very old PC trick: If nothing else works get the hammer out and bludgeon it-- might work. So I reset everything by putting the Snow Leopard  install disk in, held down 'C' on restart and let it run. 
    Didn't take anything off the HDD first, just ran the install disk over everything.
    The experts on the forums are probably cringing right now & I'd like very much for them to jump in. Love to know how my computer model was being mis-read. All I can say is, for the brave and desparate, it worked for me. Something to keep in mind.
    It helped that I had a new computer on order & have 2 backups, one being mandatory. Might work only the one time but worth a check.
    Good luck on working this one out.

    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • How to transfer mails from mac mail to outlook?

    Can anyone explain to me how to transfer e-mails from Mac Mail to Microsoft Outlook?

    I just went the other way - Outlook to Thunderbird to Mac Mail.  I lost some notes in some folders.
    My fall back position was to set up an IMAP account and use Google sync to Outlook to move my mail into a Google account.  Then on the Mac I set up a IMAP account to download all the mail.  Once I had it on the Mac, I copied the IMAP folders into Personal folders on Local Machine.  I then deleted the IMAP account and reverted to using my 'usual accounts'.
    Hope this helps you a bit!

  • Syncing Yahoo Mail and Mac Mail

    I upgraded to Yahoo Mail Pro in order to use my Yahoo Mail through Mac Mail. When I delete an email through Safari/Yahoo, Mac Mail does not reflect that. How can I sync the two so that what I do in one occurs in the other? Further, for some reason all but four of my emails got deleted out of my Safari/Yahoo account. How the heck did that happen?

    You can't. Yahoo Plus only offers POP access. To do what you want, you'll need an email provider who offers email via IMAP.
