For Network Utility: What is "Mailbox Information" in Lookup tab?

I'm familiar with with DNS records, and I've often used the Lookup function of Network Utility to look up IP addresses, cnames, MX records, etc.
Just today I noticed that one of the options from the lookup menu is Mailbox Information.
What is that?
I even tried using it for a few well-known domains (like apple.com), but I don't understand the results.

Thanks, Austin. Littled used is right — virtually none of the domains I checked have anything listed. I tried apple.com, google.com, microsoft.com.
Years ago I learned about DNS from a book called DNS and Bind. The author, Cricket Liu, has his own website at http://cricketondns.com/ and even that lacks a Mailbox Information record.
If Cricket doesn't have one, then I'm not worried about it!
Thanks again.

Wake for network access what has happened?

Hi everyone...
When snow leopard came out I tried the wake for access feature and used it quite often... Because the computer screen used to come on at night (no clue why) I reluctantly turned the feature off. Now I would like to reuse it and it doesn't want to work.. Why not? Is there a system preferences file that is corrupted?
First my setup:
iMac running 10.6.3 under energy preferences I've rechecked wake for network access. This is connected by ethernet to
My airport base station running firmware 7.4.2 and it is a 802.11n model and as such "wake from sleep over network" compatible
trying to access the imac is a macbook (early 2009) also running 10.6.3
Now when the computers are running, they show up under "shared" and I can connect/share screens without a problem.
Sadly when the iMac is asleep it doesn't show up under shared (it used to when I tried the feature last Winter.
The only difference that I am aware of is that my imac was repaired a couple of weeks ago and the whole motherboard and network components were exchanged. Could that have anything to do with it?
Also I do change preferences fairly often. Is there anything that I'm missing? On a related note, I do now hear my computer sometimes cycle up (screen now off), which makes me think the system is waking up to report to the base station. But why is it not showing up?
Thanks for any and all help. Hope everyone has a good start to the week.

On the affected M<ac look at it's logs using /Applications/Utilities/Console. This way you can find out if a third party program might be waking it up to call home.

"Mail cannot access your mailbox information because it's already in use. Rebuild Mailbox information Quit" Both quits Mail.

After installing Yosemite, my Mail stops working after about 20-30 seconds when this Dialog Box pops up, freezes Mail and says:
"Mail cannot access your mailbox information because it’s already in use.
Another application on your computer or on your local network is using your mailbox information. Click Quit to quit Mail. Then log out of this computer and any other computer you’re using. After you log in again, open Mail on one computer only.
If this message reappears, there may be a network server problem. Contact your system administrator to determine if it can be resolved by rebuilding your mailbox information. Then click Rebuild Mailbox Information.
If this message reappears, there may be a network server problem. Contact your system administrator to determine if it can be resolved by rebuilding your mailbox information. Then click Rebuild Mailbox Information.
Rebuild Mailbox information Quit"
Clicking on either one quits Mail. I am receiving my emails. I can even send my self a test email and receive it before it freezes up in 20-30 seconds. My ISP thinks it's a "Kernal" software problem.
Through advice by a friend, I have tried:
Applications - Utililities - Disk Utilities - and selected my hard drive and then click Repair Permissions
Rebooted a bunch of times. The first time Repair Permissions printed a few pages of stuff. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th times, it printed out this:
Repairing permissions for “Macintosh HD”User differs on “private/var/db/displaypolicyd”; should be 0; user is 244.Group differs on “private/var/db/displaypolicyd”; should be 0; group is 244.Repaired “private/var/db/displaypolicyd”
Permissions repair complete
But I still have the same problem I stated the the beginning of this:(
Any more advice?

I have the exact same issue, just after installing Yosemite. Please advise

I have an old iphone 3G that I want to use as an ipod touch. It does have a sim card and it has been reset but for some reason it will not pick up my wireless network, or any other wireless network. What is the problem?

I have an old iphone 3G that I want to use as an ipod touch. It does have a sim card in it and it has been reset. For some reason it will not pick up my wireless network in my house, or any other wireless network. What could be the problem?

Is this the problem:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

What is the best product for network mapping and monitoring? I am an inexperienced user). Mac 10.9.2 laptop

I have lots of questions, but the gist is that I want to know the best product, preferably from the app store, that I can use for network mapping mapping and monitoring.
I want to get their mac address or other police trackable etc info so I can use my computer safely.
I am also being cyberbullied.
I try just using ethernet but still get intruded on, for instance, messages that "other devices are using my ip address". The only other device I own is an iPod that I keep sahut off plus wifi turned off then.
(NOTE: You can skip the rest of this message if you want. It regards hacking attempts etc, a little out of the scope of discussion, perhaps).
Also a home intrusion where computer was thoroughly hacked with router(s) set up "very very close to me," according to Apple.
Also, hackers get into my Facebook and gmail and yahoo mail, really, no matter what I try to do on my computer and how many times I change passwords it does no good.
Also, The ip addresses for google and the one in syste preferences and the one looking up my ip address on ip chicken always gets three different results.
More worrisome it that hackers got into my Wells Fargo account a week after the intrusion even though I changed all account #'s and pw plus notified bank. They also broke into paypal using my new account numbers.
Also, stuff like Facetime pops up on my computer without my clicking on it even though I'm using ethernet to connect. I've given up on Time Capsule because I'm told that's how the hackers hacked my computer so thoroughly duriung the intrusion.
Thanks.

Aubry,
why don't you send your sequences straight to Compressor first, encode your movies as MPEG 2 and AC3 audio and import all assets in DVD studio PRO?

After downloading firmware for airport utility, airport express base station no longer registers with airport utility on my Mac. Now the base station is blinking amber with no info of what is causing all this to happen. Any suggestions?

After downloading firmware for airport utility last night, airport express base station was deleted from airport utility and only Time Capsule remains. When I plug in the base station, an amber light blinks without being able to verify the cause. Any suggestions to remedy this problem?

There are only a couple of things you can do to resuscitate a nonresponsive Express:
"Hard reset":
Press and hold the reset button with a pen or pencil until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.
If that does not work,
"Factory defaults reset":
Unplug the Express from power.
Press and hold the reset button with a pen or pencil, then plug the Express back in while continuing to hold the button until you see the light (LED) flash rapidly. This should happen after a few seconds.
Release the button.
In either case you will have to reconfigure the Express as a new device. A moment or two after it has been reset, the LED should be blinking slowly. It must then appear in your Wi-Fi menu like this:
Earlier versions of OS X will report it as "Apple Network nnnnnn".
In either case, select it, and then launch AirPort Utility.
If it does no appear in your Wi-Fi menu after it has been reset using one of the two techniques above, it is defective. Other than attempting another reset, there is nothing you can do.

My iphone says searching for network, and I don't have any sim card on it. What can I do?

I just bought a new iphone, It doesn't has any sim card putted on it, but on the left upper corner it says searching for network, and I cannot activate this.. What can I do?

ive got the same prob on my 4s i usually have to hard reboot a couple tims with no sim
steps i go through
1. turn on airplane mode
take out sim
2. hard reboot
3.turn back on then turn off airplane a couple a times if didnt work 1st time
another way that worked for me is turn on airplane mode then reset network settings and reboot with out sim in
but the longest this worked for me was maybe 3 or 4 days it a temp fix.. it just went to searching again about 5 mins ago and i used my first way to fix it, get it to say no sim and then i put sim back in. note it has to say no sim when its on the way to be working

Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. These are user-to-user support forums, so in almost all cases the only people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
If it's a charge though your iTunes Store account, it should be reflected in your Purchase History:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
If the charges are not reflected in the Purchase History, then it's most likely a fraudulent charge to your credit card directly or your credit card number has been stolen and used by someone else in another iTunes Store account rather than an unauthorized purchase through your account. In either case it will be up to your bank to handle.
Regards.

HT2250 I have an Apple network utility that with the previous printer (Canon PIXMA iP 5000) found the printer on the Network for use on a wi fi system but a newish printer (Canon MG6150) does not show up as Bonjour. Is that correct?

Hi Steve,
No expert, but since nobody else has piped in...
Did you setup the DNS Server IP?

Looking for a util to identify "abandoned" mailboxes in Exchange 2007

I am looking for a (hopefully free or inexpensive) tool to identify mailboxes that are no longer in use and candidates to be pulled and archived. My exchange admins have not been able to find anything, so I am posting here in case one of you folks
might have run accross something. The exchange environment is 2007 SP2. One fact that might be an issue is that our desktops and user accounts are not in the same AD as the Exchange environment. Overtime I am sure that we have had many accounts
removed from the desktop domain, without taking care of the equivalent account in the Exchange domain.

What I do is use PowerGUI (Free from Quest) and run a Powershell command. I use Get-Mailbox with the option "Sort-Object
-property
'WhenChanged"
and sort
the results by date. This way your using when the last time the mailbox was used.
Good luck
To build on SG_Dan's post, this command works for me in 2010:
Get-mailbox | Select Name, Whencreated, Whenchanged | Sort Whenchanged | Export-CSV c:\InactiveMailboxes.csv
This will give u all mailboxes in your environment and show you the user, when the mailbox was created and when changed. It will sort by when changed and outputs it to a csv file for you to look at.

If i were to get this computer would i need a new network for this or what accessories would i need?

If you have WiFI which is not something extremely specific, and I believe it is not - you are fine with network, just go and buy you a computer and enjoy.
