Gear keeps spinning, cannot receive mail on one of three account, snow leopard on imac

Gear keeps spinning on one of three e-mail accounts, snow leopard, on imac

Found out I can log on to my networked Macs via the Guest account. So I just need to de-secure my network and share everything on the Macs with Read/Write privileges for everybody, and apply changes to enclosed items.
Was able to get my Macs to see my Windows computers by screwing around with networking. Windows computers can't connect to the Macs now. They used to before Lion.

  • HT1694 cannot receive mail on my outlook hotmail account on ipad

    I have used hotmail on ipad for almost two years. Recently when asked to set up security code on Outlook Hotmail on my PC, I ignored it a few times. Then I experienced difficulties in using hotmail on ipad. Subsequently I set up the security code on Outlook on my PC. However now mails are not displaying on my hotmail account on ipad. I can still access my hotmail without problems on my PC. I also have restarted then reset ipad, deleted and re-added my hotmail account but still cannot access hotmail on ipad.
    Wonder if any can help. Thank you in anticipation

    A lot of people have complained of problems with hotmail the past two days.  There have also been a number of sites that have indicated that hotmail is down in places or is not running consistently.  Look at the right panel, under "More Like This" and follow the links to threads about hotmail.

  • I have 3 mail accounts in apple mail. One of them has had the spinning ball going for several days and I cannot receive mail in this account. I can receive mail in this account on my iPad and by signing into aol on safari. It's obviously a glitch in Apple

    I have 3 mail accounts in apple mail. One of them has had the spinning ball going for several days and I cannot receive mail in this account or delete messages etc. For some  reason, I CAN send mail on Apple mail using this account, although it takes several minutes. I can receive mail in this account on my iPad and by signing into aol on safari and internet explorer on my office PC. It's obviously a glitch in Apple's Mail. I've deleted this account and reopened it in Mail on my Mac Pro with no difference. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, this E amil account is major to my business.

    sounds like a corrupt database or index
    the glitch is your home folder and mail folder, esp look at syncservices
    I'd post in the mail or Lion forum where you will find similar issues being discussed.

  • Cannot receive mail; keychain password problem

    I recently bought a MacBook Air. While at the Apple Store making this purchase the Genius who sold it to me had to have me change my login password. He also advised that I upgrade the OS on my iMac desktop at home. Which I did. I do not use Keychain and told him that I did not want to.
    Now I have a Mail problem. I can send and receive email fine within my own (administrator's) account. But my husband cannot receive mail in his Mail account. It is not an ISP problem because he can see his new mail on their webmail site.
    When he opens his Mail app, it tells him that "Mail wants to use the 'login' keychain. He puts in his login password and every other password he can think of, but it will not recognize any of them.Then it says that "Mail can't connect to the accout "(ISPname)." He enters his ISP email password, and then it asks for the keychain password again.
    The Connection Doctor says that "Trying to log into this SMTP account failed. Verify that the username and password are correct." The username and password are correct; we never changed them. Now I'm stuck.
    I really think this is connected to the OS upgrade. Can anyone help?

    Everybody uses KeyChain. You can't 'opt out' of it, it's simply the way Mac OS X keeps track of who and what is allowed to do this or that, including Mail. The 'Genius' should have explained that to you....
    Not to worry. Here's the trick.
    1. Click on the Spotlight (magnifying glass) in the top right corner of your screen.
    2. Type 'Keychain' in the search bar and press 'return'.
    3. In the 'Keychain' window that opens up, search for 'mail' in the filter bar.
    4. Click on and delete all entries that start with 'imap...' and 'smtp...'.
    5. Open Mail.app and choose Mail > Preferences... | Accounts | Account Information
    6. For each of your mail accounts in the left panel, clear the field under 'Password' and re-enter the correct password. After doing this for one account, click any of the tabs above (e.g., 'General') which will force a dialogue box asking you to save the changes. Confirm that you want to save the changes.
    Repeat step 5 and 6 for all your different email accounts.

  • TS3276 Hi, I can send mail without a problem, I cannot receive mail, I am using iCloud.

  • Can send mail but cannot receive mail?

    My machine has been operating fine and all of a sudden I cannot receive mail...?
    I've called my internet provider and they cannot figure it out.  My other Mac's are operating fine.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Popeye. You're welcome.
    Has Mail ever worked on this computer for this
    account? It could be that you haven't configured the
    account properly, i.e. haven't chosen the right
    authentication method in Preferences > Accounts >
    Advanced, or something like that.
    Hi David,
    Yes, my MacMail used to work. At that time, I was on a local ISP, on a dial-up connection. Now I have HughesNet satellite connectivity. Maybe you can verify that my settings are right.
    In the Accounts window, all three first boxes are checked (enable this account, include when checking for new mail, remove copy when retrieving from server [after one week]), the next section (prompt me...) is grayed out. I'm taking from port 110, and I have MD5 challenge/response selected.
    Does this sound right?
    Thanks,
    PTP

  • Cannot receive mail in nokia messaging for Nokia ...

    cannot received mail in nokia messaging in all my account i can send mail but cannot  received mails in my nokia e72.

    Hi barara,
    Welcome to the Nokia forum and thank you for your post. 
    Please go to your email settings in your phone and make sure that the POP3 settings are configured correctly. Use a search engine to find the correct configuration for your email server. 
    If the email configuration is correct and you're unable to receive emails, please contact your local Care line and ask them to check your Nokia Messaging account.
    Every email account you set up on your phone is linked to your own Nokia Messaging account. Your Care line will be able to check the account and assist you with any issues you're having in case the above hasn't resolved the problem. All you need is your IMEI, which you can find by entering *#06# into your phone. 
    Hope this helps, please keep me updated on your progress.

  • When connecting to the public wifi cannot receive mails, either use internet

    when connecting to the public wifi cannot receive mails, either use internet

    I believe I may have solved this
    When you can't log into public WiFi ...
    with an iDevice…
    because the Server times out ...
    or the login/registration page just won't load ...
      ********Simply do this***********
    Go into settings> WiFi and tap the little info icon for the network you are trying to join
    If you see two slider buttons, these are the cause of your woes
    One says "Auto Join" (or similar) - you can leave this ON
    The second button is "Auto Login" - you must turn this OFF (slide it left so it is grey not green)
    Now go back and reselect the network.
    If the login page doesn't come up automatically, open a Safari window and enter any address
    Bingo!
    I have reproduced this issue and solution in 100% of the public WiFi spots which I could previously not access. Please not that I also have "Block Pop-Ups" turned OFF in Settings> Safari, though I do not know if this is a necessary step.
    I have filed a bug report with Apple. Feel free to contact them yourselves if this workaround works for you.
    Peace y'all

    I just updated to iOS 10.5 on iPhone 3GS and now cannot receive mail?

    Thanks,  I think problem is solved by re-adding user name and passwork to each of the SMTP servers listed.  I didn't realize they had been deleted with the update.  The error was "server does not allow relaying."

  • Cannot receive mail with new ios7 update

    Just updated my iPad to new ios7 now cannot receive mail but can send it. I have gmail. I shut power off. Reentered the codes and that did not solve my problem.

    Just read another post and it suggested deleting the entire account, which resolved my issue.
    It also suggested turning off wi-fi or powering off. Neither of those worked but they were steps to do in case anyone else has this issue.
