Having trouble accessing AOL through the mac mail program

Accessing mail from AOL through the Mac mail applicantion has never been a problem. Now all of a sudden it is. Software is up to date, tried working with Apple personnel, no luck. Any suggestions?

When you're in mail, if you click on window, and connection doctor, what does it tell you about your AOL account? If it's a green light status, your Apple mail is able to sign into AOL without issue. If it's red, and you double click on it, it should take you to the part of your profile that needs fixing.

First, make sure that all your devices are using the same Apple ID in iMessages including your Mac. Second, your messages that you've already started on your devices will not show up on your Mac - only ones that you start from now on will show up. Third, if you're still not syncing accross all devices, make sure you read the directions on the first page of this thread. It should work after performing those steps. Good luck!

How to I get a link with a "Mail to" address to open up a Compose window in my Yahoo mail, rather than in the Mail progrom on my Mac. I do not use the Mac Mail program.

Thank you, "the-edmeister" -- You render a great service, one that lifts my spirits.
Your answer also taught me to be a little more persistent, as I had started looking at Preferences, and just didn't notice the icons (including Applications) at the top of that window that would have led me to my answer.

I cant receive emails through the mac mail app.

I cant receive emails throught the mac mail app. But i can send them. How do i reset the app and receive mail again. It receive them before but all of the sudden i quit getting mail

I just ran a software update today and its all good!
Updated now to -
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)

Can i delete emails in mail without having to delete them in the original mail program.

I wish I did not need to use my original Llive account to organize and delete emails, etc. I was hoping just to start using Mail and editing everything from the Apple mail program instead of having to do it in both Mail and in Live. Otherwise, it accumalates a lot of email in both places. It is supposed to make it easier so I do not have to do everything twice.

Option 1.
In Mail Preferences, select Advanced tab for your Mail Account and check the "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message" option. This will delete all your messages from Live.
This selection will only remove new mail (i.e. mail received after you make this selection)
Option 2.
Right click on your Mail Account in the Viewer Window and select "Get Account Info". This will allow you to select and delete messages from Server you don't want and keep the ones you do.
This is no different from going to the web interface and deleting the mail from there.
If the OP wants to keep the webmail and mac mail in sync then Live is the wrong system, an iMap or Exchange system is needed.

I cannot get my mail through the mac mail icon on my desktop,

I am having trouble getting my email on my mac through the mail application. I have to go online all the time & log in to get my mail. It says my accounts are offline. I really need my email to work the way I know how to!!

iCloud Mail requires you to have Lion 10.7.2. Is this what you have? (Please always post your system when you have a question).
If you have an earlier system you will have to set mail up manually for iCloud email:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Tiger

Problem with deleting mail from my AOL account on the Mac Mail Program

It worked perfectly on Tiger. But now that I am using leopard, I get this error message when I try to delete my aol mail on the Mail program.
"The IMAP command “UID COPY” (to Deleted Messages) failed for the mailbox “INBOX” with server error: UID COPY failed Deleted Messages: no such mailbox."
How do I fix this?!?

Qwest is my ISP, but I would like to receive my email through the Mac Mail

Hi,
I just changed from Comcast to Qwest as my ISP, I tried setting up the iMail for the Qwest service and I am using the .live.com settings, but it doesn't recognize the server. I have to log onto the internet and use MSN Hotmail. Is there some solution so I can use the Imac Mail tab?

So you are able to successfully receive mails with the live.com account? What is currently specified in Mail Prefs as the smtp server? Does it include a username as part of the server name? Does it read like "smtp.live.com:[email protected] or like "smtp.live.com:halen10"? SSL is on for smtp? What kind of authentication? Username/password?What is specified as the smtp server port number? "Default 25, 465, or 587?" What did Qwest technical support say?

When I click on a link in an email, nothing happens; Firefox used to open the page. I am using a Mac computer, latest OS, and the Mac mail program.

I have tried quiting Firefox and setting Safari to my default browser. Links open on Safari just fine. When I go back to Firefox as my default, I continue to have the same issue, links will not open in Firefox.

You can also quit and relaunch Firefox and then
the link will open in mac mail.

How many GB can the Mac Mail program handle?

My mail program has 2.2 GB. My friend told me that the mail program has a limit of 2 GB is this true?

Hello,
To break-up the size of your mailbox folders, you could divide your messages up into several mailboxes. This way your inbox doesn't over-fill and cause trouble.
Click on the little plus sign down on the bottom left of your Mail program (under the Inbox, deleted, etc.).
This will create additional mailboxes.
I usually have some that are sorted like this:
Business Keep
Personal Keep
Purchased items receipts (like confirmations for online purchases)
and, so on.
I'll organize messages I want to keep into those folders, and then it keeps my inbox clean.
You can get as specific and organized as you like. The idea is to keep things running smooth, and know where to find stuff.
I hope this helps.

Having trouble with my iCloud email in Mail program on iMac

I converted to iCloud a few months ago and everything has been working well. Today, my Mail program can neither download nor send emails for my iCloud account on my iMac (about 4 years old). It just seems to churn. I CAN however, access my iCoud email on my iPhone. Any ideas what might be wrong? Thanks. George T.

Thanks WC. I DID delete/re-enter my iCloud email account, and it all came back and is working fine . . . at least for the moment. The planets are back in alignment. Thanks. George T.
PS - my wife and I have become devotees of BBC masterpiece theater, notably Downton Abbey and Lark Rise to Candleford. You Brits make good TV. Take care.

Having trouble playing movies through the iPod

Does the iPod have to be in a certain mode to play movies through a component cable

Assuming that a compatible cable is being used to output the video to a capable TV, you also need to make sure the TV Out setting is enabled from under Video -> Video Settings -> TV Out.
See this article to determine if you are using the correct cable for your model iPod.

Mac Mail program won't recognize my SMTP server

I recently upgraded to cable high speed internet. I am using the Mac Mail program on eMac (OS X 10.4.10) and have diligently entered all settings correctly for incoming and outgoing mail server. I can receive e-mails, but I am unable to send them.... however, if I go to webmail using the provider's website, I can receive AND send.
Why does my computer not recognize my outgoing server?
Thank you for your help!!

I'm at my wit's end. I use Mail (and want to continue) and my server is BellSouth (now AT&T). I've had problems for the last 3 weeks with OUTGOING emails; none with incoming.
The first time I talked to customer no service at BS, they said it was server maintenance for the last week and should be done soon. A week later, said it really should be done. Now 3 weeks later, BS's CS told me it's not a problem with the server and must be Mail (which they don't service).
I've checked and rechecked my server settings. BS said the port should be 25, but I keep reading about 587. That didn't work. I tried going through my .mac account, and that doesn't work.
I'm running OS10.4.10 and Mail 2.1. I use Aiport and DSL connection.
Can anyone help??

I'm having trouble with back to my MAC. I had everything working on my home wifi network but now I am at my daughter's house and trying to connect via a verizon hotspot wifi connection. I'm wondering if the Verizon hookup is a problem.

I'm having trouble with back to my MAC. I had everything working on my home wifi network but now I am at my daughter's house and trying to connect via a verizon hotspot wifi connection. I'm wondering if the Verizon hookup is a problem.

I finally figured it out. Needed to update her Airport firmware and allow guest access, and also changed Sharing preferences to Allow Access for All Users.
