Godaddy and mail.app

hello,
i've been having some troubles for a while and looking for any magical advice. i have a hosting/email package with godaddy that i'm happy with except their outgoing mail server which never works reliably for me (hit or miss). i have tried all i know how (call in support, all the various ports, etc.) and never resolved it. i have tried to use my local isp servers and they're not much better. as a note gmail is very reliable for me so i can have accounts that work well. is there any known issue between godaddy and mail.app or any other info someone might have that can help me? i'm not located in the us if it helps. if the answer is godaddy's outgoing servers are not good which i have heard does anyone have a recommended option? i need to use my own domain and not a gmail account and anyways i don't particularly like the way gmail works but their reliability i can't complain. i'm thinking also there might be some kind of outgoing server i can sign up for even pay if it will work with my godaddy mailboxes. any thoughts and thanks so much,
rick

thanks for the replies. yes that seems to work the best but unfortunately in my case not quite good enough. i was never able to fully resolve the issue even after much help from godaddy. all i could do was switch my outgoing server to someone else. but i will gladly try it again one day hoping it might work a bit better for me.
thanks,
rick

App store and Mail app are crashing in my mac air 10.9.5

All my apps are crashing and i am not able to open any of them . App store for Software update and Mail app, Photos app are all crashing. I have OS X 10.9.5 in my system. I removed Parallels trail version and also Clean My Mac app, Still i have the issue,Please help me to resolve the issue,

"CleanMyMac" purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.
The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

Exchange and mail.app

Has anyone had this issue with a MS Exchange server? On a Mac I am able to send mail out to any email address using Outlook Web Access but using the same exchange server with a POP account and Mail.app I cannot send mail outside the school district(@af.k12.wi.us). When I try, I get "The message could not be appended to the Outbox".
Is this a problem with the Exchange server setup or Mail.app account? How do I fix it?

We also use Intermedia.net and I've yet to get mail.app and Exchange to work together. The KB and support offer very little more than what you see posted here already. The "Mail for Mac OSX" are not even close to being accurate for our dedicated hosting plan (we don't have mail.domain.com type names).
Mail.app doesn't give you much to go on either... I plug in the information and it just never connects or never goes online. If I open up the Activity window I see it try and connect but then just drops the connection. No failed password or other error message.
Anyone else have any experience with Intermedia or success with Exchange?

I have an iPod touch 3rd generation and my safari and mail app won't work and it's driving me crazy! My safari app keeps crashing when I open it so that's not working, and my mail app opens up but doesnt load then crashes. Can somebody tell what to do?!!!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

HT201210 safari and mail apps will not open

Hello, after I updated to 6.1.3 on my iphone 4 everything worked fine, till I rebooted my phone, now all of a sudden my safari and mail apps do not work. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Everytime I try and restore my iphone i get: The phone "Justin's Phone" could not be restored. This device isnt eligilbe for the requested build. I even reverted to my last saved back up (this back up was on June 13) and a back up from december 2012 and the safari and mail app still do not work. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you all for your help,
Justin

Hello Justin,
I would recommend taking a look at steps 4 and 5 in the article below.
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
If your issues persist, then you may need to restore the iOS software.

Safari, Software Update and Mail apps won't connect

Safari, Software Update and Mail apps won't connect to the Internet. Software Update fails with a suggestion of running Network Diagnostic. Network diagnostic says everything is fine. Firefox connects without any problems. Any ideas. This is my work computer and I need it to work.
Chris

Fixed it myself. Under network settings "Auto Proxy Discovery" was enabled. When I turned this off everything started working again. Not sure how this was enabled in the first place.

Ipad 4 after update to IO8 Safari and Mail App would not start

I have updated my Apple Ipad 4 to IOS8.
Modell MD510FD/A
After this update Safari and Mail App do not start. It open the app a short time and closed by itself.
I have restarted the Ipad for 3 times. But the problem still happen.

Hi t.reiterer,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Since these are native apps that come with the OS, it sounds like a reinstall is in order. A full backup first, then restore.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If a regular restore doesn't help. Try a restore as new.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
Again, make sure you have a good backup first.
Best Regards,
Nubz

Preview And Mail Apps Keeps Freezing Up in Yosemite

I've posted before regarding the numerous performance issues that I have since upgrading to Yosemite on my MacBook Pro. I have contacted Apple Support and have even gone to the Genius Bar, but any fixes are always short-lived.
Here's what is happening: When I launch Preview to open something (e.g., a photo), the app freezes up. I also notice that if I go to the Apple Mail app, there is a keystroke lag when I type.   Also, the battery drains down much faster...
Running the Disk Utility/rebooting will fix the problem for a day or so, until it rears its ugly head again...
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the EtreCheck Report:

Back up all data before proceeding.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
2. Repeat with this line:
/Library/Mail/Bundles
This time you may be prompted for your administrator login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Safari Browser and Mail App cannot be opened.

After I turn off my iPod Touch and start up again, Safari browser and my Mail App crashes every time I open it. I tried to reboot the device again, and it did not work. I'm going to have to restore, but my question is:
What are the reasons for this? This has never happen to me before.
Replies appreciated.

Almost all the times things like that just happens and they seldom return. If i keeps recurring after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod then you likely have a hardware problem.

Did most recent Audio update to OSX and Mail.app went insane.

I switched to the Mac in... November? and have absolutely loved it. This has been my first catastrophic experience thus far and I'm used to Windows being a part time job to manage so I'm not complaining.
However, late last week OSX installed an audio update of some sort and when I rebooted mail.app had seemingly lost it's mind:
1. IMAP accounts constantly go offline and then back online at random time intervals. This problem I actually had occasionally before but now it's a constant annoyance.
2. Frequently getting "The message from "somebody" concerning "something" has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it." error message for messages that have a. already been downloaded and b. who's accounts are showing as online. FYI, yes I do have mail.app set to download and keep a copy of the messages locally.
3. Some messages (I can't find a pattern but it's about 5% of the messages) download repeatedly and appear in the inbox as many as 51 times. The only solution to this seems to be to log into the IMAP account's webmail access and delete the "offending" message.
4. An account can be online and yet not show all the messages that are in the inbox. I know this because if I log into the webmail I can see them.
5. Seemingly randomly the rules are ignored. Typically I can select a message and then tell mail to apply rules and then it works but why didn't the rule happen on it's own as usual.
6. The general "Inbox" sometimes doesn't show new items in the individual account inboxes until I go and click on those individual account inboxes and then come back to the general inbox.
Info about my system/setup:
a. I have 4 IMAP accounts.
b. I store messages on the IMAP server.
c. The "fullest" IMAP account has roughly 500 MB in it but is set to have 2.4 GB capacity on the IMAP server. That account also has 48 personal folders on it, and has had them for a little over a month. After reading about smart folders, I intend to consolidate many of these into an "Archives" folder.
d. The other IMAP accounts are each set to have 1+ GB of available server storage but each have under 100 MB used.
e. I use SpamSieve for email (love it, by the way)
f. I have a demo of MailTags running (it's been since mid-June and I've only played around with tagging a few emails so far but I intend to use iGTD once I get Mail back under control)
What I've tried:
1. I read that it's better to do the consolidated updates than the incremental ones so three times now I've tried to download the consolidated OSC 10.4.10 update but it never fully downloads. I'm not sure what's the deal with that as I've downloaded 300-400MB files over my internet connection at other times without difficulty.
2. I read that you can delete the folders in mail.app and let it rebuild them from the IMAP folder... a. from what I read, I'm not clear on the procedure for doing this safely b. I have a lot of folders to deal with and c. the only places I've read about it is from people commenting in forums that it didn't help them.
So... any suggestions?

At least one of the problems you have appears to be some index corruption, and I have the feeling that MailTags has a bearing on it. I don’t think you’ll be able to completely solve the problems you have without uninstalling that first...
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and ensuring that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see any other “Envelope Index”-named file there, delete it as well.
4. Move any “IMAP-”, “Mac-”, or “Exchange-” account folders to the Trash. Note that you can do this with IMAP-type accounts because they store mail on the server and Mail can easily re-create them. DON’T trash any “POP-” account folders, as that would cause all the mail stored there to be lost.
5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index — Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
6. As a side effect of having removed the IMAP account folders, those accounts may be in an “offline” state now. Do Mailbox > Go Online to bring them back online.
Given the amount of mail you have on the server, I expect it to take a fair amount of time for Mail to fully re-create the index and bring all the mailboxes back online. Again, I strongly encourage you to uninstall MailTags before doing that.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

Problems with Gmail and Mail App

Up until now, my gmail account (with 2 step log-in) has worked fine on my iPhone.
Today - when refreshing mail, I got a pop-up saying that the username and password were incorrect and mail couldn't be retrieved from the imap server at Google. So...I went to my account settings on google - revoked the existing application specific password for my iPhone mail and then generated a new one. When I entered it on the settings screen on my iPhone, I got the same message - u/p incorrect!
I deleted my gmail account and started over...same thing!!
Now, I have no access to mail and I can't figure out what to try next!
Anyone got any ideas?? Thanks!

Well...after entering 6 different app-specific passwords and performing 3 separate reboots...mail is back up and running. Next time I'll probably try putting my right foot in the air and spinning around in my chair 3.5 times...stupid Google!

Skype and Mail.app not working on 10.6.8

Exchange and Mail app - not synchronized

I have noticed that when I read mail in my Exchange mailbox via Outlook or other mail client, the messages are not necessarily showing as read in the Mail app in Mountain Lion. This was not the case in Lion or any previous version. The only thing that will absolutely remedy is to rebuild the mailbox, which I do not enjoy doing on a daily basis with a resonably large mailbox. Is there a solution? Is this a defect that might be fixed? I have found Exchange integration with Mountain Lion Mail and Calendars to be rather buggy and far less reliable than in previous Mac OS X versions.

I have the same problem except it's only with Mail. Calendar is solid. On Lion, I had intermittent problems with both and had to periodically clear the Calendar cache to get calendar working again.
iOS exchange has been flawless for years, so I'm not sure why all the hassle on OS X.
