Folders in Mail with POP Account

Hi!
I would create folders in Mail with POP account. It is possible? Why not?
Thanks!

As James has explained - you need an IMAP email account in order to create additional mailboxes or folders on the iPad. Even though you may be able to create a folder on your computer - which is simply a locally stored folder - or on the POP account server, those will not sync to the iPad POP email account.

Missing Mail in POP account/ "Take account online in order to download it"?

Mail build 1.3.11 (OSX.3.9)
User has an issue with mail showing the following error (see snip below) message in a POP account. Actually, if this were IMAP it would make sense, but I've not yet seen this on a POP configuration in this applciation. After running the rebuild on the Inbox, these emails are now gone. Is there any way to retrieve these emails?

The message from someone <[email protected]> concerning “Re:
paper” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this
account online in order to download it.
[end-o-snip]
Many thanks for any insight provided.

This error message indicates an "overstuffed" mailbox issue which means the mailbox has some corruption or is approaching or over the recommended size limit which is 1GB for Jaguar or Panther Mail.
If for the account's Inbox mailbox, quit Mail first and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > INBOX.mbox.
Move the INBOX.mbox to the Desktop.
When re-launching Mail, a new (and empty) INBOX.mbox will be created automatically by Mail within the account named folder. This will allow the Mail.app to function properly again and not risk losing any new received messages while working on the old INBOX.mbox moved to the Desktop to recover the existing messages.
Control-click on the old INBOX.mbox moved to the Desktop and at the menu window that appears, select Show Package Contents.
List the package content file names and size of each here.
This information is required before determining the next step to take to recover the existing messages.

How can I scroll messages and folders in Mail with Maverick? It's unacceptable for Apple

How can I scroll messages and folders in Mail with Maverick? It's unacceptable for Apple to have allowed this to happen

This problem has been discussed extensively in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5481937?start=0&tstart=0

I have Mail with 5 accounts. The problem is that one of them is constantly active, that is with the moving wheel showing a search for new mails.

I have Mail with 5 accounts. The problem is that one of them is constantly active, that is, with the moving wheel showing a search for new mails, while the others accounts are not active.

hello
Would not take the moving wheel as indication that account is active. There could be other reasons for it. From the menu Window, choose 'connection doctor' that will show you how each account has connected. Next, from the Window menu choose 'activity veiwer' that will show you exactly what activity is causing the moving wheel.

Retrieving mail from POP account folders

I've kept my mail on the server for a while, and have created folders for different subjects. Now I'd like to keep all my mail on the Mac.
Getting the stuff from Inbox is easy, but I can't find a simple way to retrieve the contents of the folders. Is there a way to get Mail to do this, or do I have to empty each folder into Inbox and then retrieve mail?
Thanks

If this is a POP account, there is no way for Mail (or any other POP client for that matter) to download your mail from the server other than moving it to the server’s Inbox.

Massive frustration with Apple Mail and POP accounts going offline

I love Apple mail. Best interface ever.
BUT... because of issues with Apple Mail, I've been forced to use Entourage.
I really want to use Apple Mail and hope someone here can help me with this.
I have two Yahoo business mail POP accounts that I need to have running for an online business I have. I keep Mail running all day and my .Mac IMAP account and a Comcast POP account stay up all the time.
But the two Yahoo accounts keep going offline. I get an Apple Mail message asking me to reenter my password. They won't stay up more than five minutes or so.
Over the course of a day, this is so irritating that, as I said, I've had to switch to Entourage, where the accounts stay connected all the time and work just fine.
I've scoured the forums here. Deleted .plists, added IP addresses, followed any suggestion that seemed plausible/ But no luck.
If Entourage works, Apple Mail, it seems to me, also should.
Can anyone help????

Speaking as one forced to use Entourage at work I can with confidence say in my case that they are different products serving different markets with different needs.
Apple did not drop the ball - the server is asking for re-authentication of a POP client. Any POP client should behave the same way. Yes, the client could just provide the credentials again, but it is safer to reequire the user to respond to the request.
That the request happens frequently is a function of the interrelationship between the DHCP lease life, client, and the mail host's response to new information.
Who is providing your DHCP lease?

Problems with POP account on Mail

My POP account set up on Mail has suddenly stopped receiving / sending emails. All account settings have been double checked and I have a good internet connection. I'm running 10.6 on an iMac - hope someone can help. Thanks

Try Mail's menu option Window > Connection Doctor to see if that shows you anything that explains the problem.
By the way, if you click on "Your Stuff" (toward the upper-right part of this window), then click on "Profile", in the section of "My Products" you can enter your hardware and software details so that you don't keep having to type them each time.

Having problem to send email with POP account ...

Hi,
I didn't have that problem before upgrading to my new 3GS iPHone. I have 3 email accounts on my iPhone: POP (videotron.ca), GMail and MobileMe. They all work fine except my POP account.
From the POP account I can receive my email but I cannot send any. Funny enough, my emails are sent when the account is desactivated from my «Mail, contacts and Calendar» preferences on my iPhone.
Can somebody help me ? Regards.
Robert

Hi Robert,
I upgraded with the Iphone 3Gs a week ago and got the same problem with Videotron. The problem is with videotron as usual. If you want to be able to send email from your Iphone just go to Gmail, open an account FREE with them and then use this account to send Email...Work perfectly OK with me. Then of course you will have to phone videotron to make sure your account is fully available when you go on there Web site open the read email and be able to read your email if not solve the problem with them by phone. unless you will be able to send email easily with gmail and mather of fact it is free.
Hope this will help from Quebec to Quebec!!!

Can't send mail to POP Account which has attachment or signature

Since installing the Update 10.4.6, I have been unable to send email to my pop account which has either a signature or an attachment (when there is no attachment or signature it works fine). I have cleared the caches using tiger cache cleaner. I have tried adding a new user account to mail. It doesn't work in Entourage either. I've reinstalled Mail. What else do you recommend?
Prior to installing the update, mail worked great for over a year!
Additional Information:
Whenever I press the send icon, the mail message disappears, then in the activity viewer it gives the message “Delivering message / Sending data (28% done) and hangs there for a long time and finally gives the following message:
Cannot send message using the server XXX
Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your network settings.
Whenever I send an email with text and a signature, the activity viewer it gives the message “Delivering message / Sending data (100% done) and hangs there for an extremely long time and finally gives the same message.

For sending mail the POP server is not important what you need to check are the settings of the SMTP server. Verify the settings of the SMTP server again and compare it to your settings on your iMac.
Checked SMTP settings and they are identical to the working iMac. I had not changed any settings on my MBP when it stopped sending, plus it did work briefly last night with those settings, so I don't see how it could have anything to do with my settings being incorrect.
The only thing even remotely different that I did prior to this happening was to use it away from home. I was out of town and used someone else's wifi to send some emails, but can't see how that should matter. It was the same ISP that I use at home, so I never even had to change settings for remote access. I never touched a thing, but when I got home I could no longer send emails.

How to get rid of junk mail in POP account

Dear all,
I have a POP account which on my iMac/Macbook Pro perfectly weeds out almost all junk/spam. On my iPhone 4 however there is no junk mailbox so all junk goes in my Inbox with a ratio of 60 junk : 1 real mail message. Anyone?
Really looking forward to some briljant tips!
Cheers,
Michiel

With an email account/address that is so severly compromised, you may want to consider a new email account and address preferably an IMAP account for a number of reasons.
A 60 junk to one real email message ratio means you have inadvertently contributed to the problem and the email account provider has no spam filter at the server. Rendering any HTML included with spam/junk confirms that your email address is "known good" with the spammer that sent the message causing more spam/junk to be received. Clicking on any links included with a spam/junk message does the same. Providing your email address publicly for any reason also does the same. Spammers sell/trade their "known good" email address lists to other low-life spammers causing an endless cycle. Once the cat is that far out of the bag with an email address, there is no turning back. The iPhone's Mail app does not have a junk mail filter and may never have one, which wouldn't match the junk mail filter with the Mail app on your Mac anyway.
Get a new email address from an email account provider that supports IMAP access. Use the new email address to exchange email with family and friends ONLY. Use your existing severely compromised email address for online purchases and to be provided publicly. Never provide your new email address publicly for any reason. An IMAP account is specifically designed to be accessed with more than one email client with all server stored mailboxes kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account. A POP account is from the early dark ages of email account access with an email client when most people had access to a single computer only and well before there were handheld cell phones and especially smart phones. A POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.

How to set proxy for mail with Gmail account

Hi, I'm using mail and set up a Gmail pop account. My mac is behind a proxy, say 192.168.0.1:808. I set the system http and https with the above address and can browse the internet with safari. But the mail app cannot receive or send any mails from the google pop/smtp server. Do you know how I can set the proxy for mail so that it can send and receive mail? Thank you very much!

I solved this problem myself by using an app called proxifier. It's a tunneling tool I guess.

Converting on mail.app POP account to IMAP? How can I do this?

Hello,
hope someone can help me. I just recently bought a domain name with all its software on GoDaddy. Unfortunaltely I found out, that the POP account offered, does not syncronize my mail between my iMac and iPhone, as Gmail or Yahoo do, these are IMAP accounts... Even though I tried through the mail.app assistent to sent up a new IMAP account, GoDaddy does not allow this. So I called them up, to know why, I would have to purchase an upgrade, to switch from POP to IMAP. My question: is there a way around this purchase? I have read, that many people leave their mail on the server, but would prefer my pop account to work as an IMAP , that is syncronize mail on my iMac and phone. I can not create a new IMAP account, while doing so GoDaddy server will tell me , that I can not connect to their server... What happens if I use the Yahoo server instead? Someone has a clue? Thank you in advanced for your responses. Hug, René

You're trying to do this in the wrong place. This is a bit complicated but I'll try to walk you through it.
First make sure you have a Google Apps account. This sill carry a charge, but I suspect it will be worth it. It is for me. Check here for details and to register: http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/pricing.html.
You will have to choose one of the ways to verify your domain ownership. More details here: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=60216
Next, you need to go to Godaddy.com. Log in to your account, then click "My Account" at the top of the page (or the equivalent in Spanish).
Click "Domains", then the green "Launch" button to the right of the domain you want to use.
Click the "DNS Zone File" tab
Scroll down to the "MX (Mail Exchanger" section and Google's settings found here: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=174125
Once it's all set up, you can set up your imap accounts using Google's settings here: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=105694

Cannot send/receive mail on POP account

Sorry I read previous threads about hotmail.
I have been trying to configure a pop account and an exchange account and have been unable to do such. Using a different macbook with OS 10.5.3 I was able to successfully. Any ideas what the issue might be or how to resolve?

Hi! If you have done it successfully on another Mac then use it to confirm the settings on each mail setup page including the advanced options to make sure every field is correct. Tom

Z10 Can Receive E-mails from POP Account But Cannot Send/Reply

I am getting seriously frustrated with the inability to send e-mail from this Z10 (bought on 3/28) through my POP account!
I have been able to set up and successfully send through a personal Gmail account but not my "work" POP account. Everything I have read in forums and discussed with my IP and Verizon Wireless points to a bug in the BB10 software. In BB7, even a POP account could be set up very simply and reliably. That was the beauty of BB - simple and reliable e-mail.
I am getting nowhere trying to find a fix or workaround. I reeeeeally wanted to believe that BB was back and that this would be a good phone for me, a BB fan (my third BB btw), but am just a day or two away from giving up and returning the thing. What good is a BlackBerry if you can't send e-mails???? Please help!
BlackBerry Help - what is the fix???!!!! I NEED IT TODAY!!!!!!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have a similar problem. I have three email accounts and two work perfectly (a hosted server and a comcast). However, my Optonline email will not send out attachments or HTML when hitting Reply or Forward. The receiver sees the basic text response and the following (below). Optonline uses port 587 and i think POP, no SSL Optonline, BB and ATT are all looking at it, but no solution yet.

Mail hangs upon retrieving last mail from POP account

Hi,
I have a problem with retrieving mail from a POP account. Mail seem to hang after the last new mail has been retrieved from the account. E.g, the activity viewer shows "Fetching 7 of 7", the progress bar indicates that all mails have been retrieved, but never completes. Pressing the Stop button next to the progress bar does not have an effect. Mail then indefinitly hangs in the "STOPPING" phase. In that state I cannot retrieve mails for other accounts, either. I have to force quit Mail.
Has anyone experiences similar problems and found a solution?
Thanks,
Sascha

Does your account have webmail capability? If so, log into your account that way, and deal with the offending message.
