Help with mail and webmail

Hello everyone,
I will need your help on some things regarding mail and webmail.
First of all I am not an expert on mac as it is the first time that I'm setting up a server so please be lenient with my mistakes.
OK let's begin.
I have a mac mini running 10.6.4 and I have setup 2 domains. www.domain1.com & www.domain2.com
2 DNS zones.
1st zone hostname: domain1.com
Nameservers:
zone: domain1.com Nameserver Hostname: server.domain1.com
Mail exchanger: mail.domain1.com Priority: 10
1 Machine: Machine Name: mail.
IP Address: my external IP.
2nd zone hostname: domain2.com
Nameservers:
zone: domain2.com Nameserver Hostname: server.domain2.com
Mail exchanger: mail.domain2.com Priority: 10
1 Machine: Machine Name: mail.
IP Address: my external IP.
Mail Service:
Domain name: mail
Host Name: server.domain1.com
SMTP: ON
Allow incoming: ON
IMAP/POP: ON
Security:
SMTP IMAP/POP:
Kerberos: ON
CRAM-MD5: ON
APOP: ON
LOGIN: ON
SSL: Don't use
Hosting:
Enable virtual hosting: ON
domain1.com
domain2.com
I have create 4 users:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
In Workgroup Manager I have also added a second short name for each user for overlapping, in the mail option the mail server for users in domain1 is the default: sever.domain1.com and for users in domain 2: server.domain2.com
The problems are:
1. When I send a mail from my users in hotmail it returns back as: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender.
2.How can I configure this emails on PCs?
3.I want to create web services for both my domains without the users from domain1 can log in domain2.
When I tried to active 2 separate web services for each domain the user from domain1 had access to domain2.
For example
In https://www.domain1.com should only login users who belong to this domain (domain1).
Thanks for your time!!

To control access to your web pages use Server Admin, select the sites tab, and then select realms.
Add a realm for each of your domains, and then exclude all users except the ones applicable to that domain.
Have you enabled mail for the users in Open Directory? What does your smtp log say when you try to send email?

Issue with Mail and Gmail

I'm trying to configure the built in Windows 8 Mail app to work with my custom domain.
GMail is configured where I have multiple email addresses -- both the @gmail.com address, but also with my own @example.com style domain. From the browser, everything works as expected.
However, in the Windows 8 Mail app, it's greyed out:
Where is this coming from? How can I configure this?
Help!

I can't solve it either, but would love an answer! Would save a LOT of headache.
I learned that outlook accounts do allow sending from aliases. So the work around I've set up is:
1) Create outlook email for my main/primary account
2) Create an outlook alias that is identical to my gmail alias (that's what those multiple from fields in gmail are treated as, aliases)
3) Set my gmail to forward to my outlook email
Now I receive email from that preferred work alias in my outlook account, and can send messages with the "From" field I need. All in one account in the Windows Mail App.
This is okay for now but quite sub-optimal, because with the forwarding there are sync issues, mail isn't delivered instantly (sometimes 20-30mns!) and I am getting duplicates all over the place. When I pause the gmail forward I get no messages, when I turn
it back on I get two copies of everything, not sure what that's about.

HT6030 I am still having problems with Mail and Gmail

Using OSX 10.9 MacPro.
despinte installing the mail update on the 7th Nov 2013, may mail does not sync and update with my gmail accounts accross my devices?
what should I do?

as rediculous as this is, I enabled "all mail" under the labels, then went into the actual apple mail settings and checked some box about updateing immediately (for deleted items) . then I had to quit mail then open it back up - it "appears" to have synced properly. I'll let you know if it all comes back, but this is really a pain in the butt, I swapped from Entourage a few months back because it started acting weird with gmail.
anyone have any other mail options if this continues to not work? I don't want to have to pull gmail in my browser to move read items each day.
thanks for all the help.

Help with MAIL and Address book

Hello
I am starting a Mac mini server, I have setup Ical and Itunes, but I have no manage to setup Mail.
Can somebody post screen samples of the setup on the MAC mini and on the client ?
What do you do to share an existent address book within users ?
Thanks in advance for your help
Best
Cyril
My mail is : cb dot pub at numericable dot com
my MX (domain) is : mx dot cyrilblanc dot fr

You need to have a stable and correct DNS services configuration. This is a prerequisite for mail.
The following is a result of an incorrect DNS services configuration:
$ dig +short MX cyrilblanc.fr
1 mx.cyrilblanc.fr.
$ dig +short mx.cyrilblanc.fr.
87.231.239.246
$ dig +short -x 87.231.239.246
87-231-239-246.rev.numericable.fr.
$
Your reverse DNS is 87-231-239-246.rev.numericable.fr. and this translation does not match your forward DNS mx.cyrilblanc.fr. and correct DNS is a common prerequisite for the receiving mail servers; for those services that will receive and process your outgoing messages when your server is sending mail.
Your MX record for the subdomain mx.cyrilblanc.fr is targeting mail servers at 1and1, and that may or may not be your intent. (Given your name, I'd assume you want to have [email protected]+ as your email, which means the MX record that is applicable here is the MX record associated with cyrilblanc.fr domain and not the MX record with the mx.cyrilblanc.fr subdomain.
To configure your reverse DNS, you will need to contact your ISP.
Further, your ISP may or may not allow mail servers. Many ISPs can require a commercial tier of service, and can firewall the mail ports within a non-business service tier. Check with your ISP here.
An "A record" is basic DNS construct; it is a machine name record. Your current DNS record for your mx host is an A record, and not a CNAME ("alias") or other format record, which is good.
Given you want screen shots, you may want to subscribe to the Lynda video library. (I have no experience with those, but there are folks around that have referenced them as a simple approach for configuring your Mac OS X Server box.) I'm not in a position to post screen shots from my servers, and it is exceedingly likely that how I have my mail clients configured will not match your requirements. And I'll end up explaining the differences.
Please also take the time to Google the forums. There are similar discussions. Google specifically for that string I provided earlier, as that's a commonplace response to somebody that's trying to troubleshoot a mail server problem.

Help with mail and iCloud -

I have two mac emails and can't get the second to move to the cloud. Mail is having trouble recognizing the second address - help! I moved the main email with no problem but I have a second .mac account that I use for work and that keeps rejecting my password. Also, I can't change my preferences on that account at me.com at all.
help please!

iCloud will only deliver mail from your iCloud account. What you can do is set up email forwarding with your other accounts to forward incoming email to your iCloud address, then tell all your contacts to send email to your iCloud address. (Comcast accounts are POP3 rather than IMAP so you won't miss these accounts. I set up forwarding from Comcast to iCloud a long time ago.)

How do I sync Mail with Outlook and Gmail in browser?

I really like the Mail app in OS X, but I've noticed that it's not synced with the browser version of my email accounts, so anything I do in Mail (e.g. read an email, delete/trash it, etc) is only reflected within the app and not in my browser.
Just in case I didn't explain that properly: For example, if I read an email in Mail, and then switch to my Outlook account in Safari to check if that email has been marked as read, it would still appear as unread. If I delete and trash and email in Mac, that same email appears exactly where it used to be in Outlook, completely untouched.
This bothers me for two reasons. One, even if I were to stick with Mail and not touch my Outlook/Gmail accounts in Safari again, I still wouldn't like the idea of my inbox being all messy if I were ever to log back in. Two, Mail doesn't seem to have any options to create folders and subfolders as far as I'm aware, so my emails which are very neatly organized in Outlook are all lumped together in Mail's inbox. So even though Mail is a neat little app, I still have Outlook and Gmail bookmarked.
I'd like to know if there's a way to sync Mail with my email accounts in-browser, so that any changes I make in the app also show up when I log into my actual accounts? Maybe I'm just missing something or if this is not possible at all, please let me know. Thank you!

You have to set those accounts up as IMAP. Right now you probably have them set up as POP3 accounts.
Pop3 account are one way. You download your mail to your computer and send mail from your computer and it all stays on that particular computer. Imap stores everything on the mail providers server. Incoming and outgoing mail is always on the imap server and can be gotten on multiple devices. All sent mail is store on the server also and can be viewed from multiple devices.
With outlook that might not be possible. Not sure if individual outlook accounts can use imap. I do know that the office365 side can as that is what my company uses and some people are using macs and other email program other then ms outlook.

Apple Mail and Gmail IMAP

With the iPhone coming to Verizon soon, I'd like to move back to Apple Mail from Gmail, but still want to keep Gmail as my source because my domain is setup with Google Apps but mostly because of the unparalleled spam filtering Gmail has. My problem is that even though I've configured Apple Mail exactly as Google recommends (shown below), I still have some issues.
From the Mail menu, click Preferences > *Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors*
Drafts:
Store draft messages on the server > *do NOT check*
Sent:
Store sent messages on the server > *do NOT check*
Junk:
Store junk messages on the server > checked
Delete junk messages when > Never
Trash:
Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox > *do NOT check*
Store deleted messages on the server > *do NOT check*
I want to have true IMAP functionality here, but I'm not getting it. Sent messages work fine...if I send a message, it shows up in Apple Mail in the Sent folder and when I go to Gmail it is also in the Sent folder. BUT...when I delete a message in Apple Mail it goes to the Gmail *All Mail* folder (in Apple Mail and Gmail) and never shows up in the Gmail Trash on either Apple Mail or Gmail...where it should. I've tried changing the settings under *Apple Mail > Trash* but that doesn't fix the problem.
I realize some of you might be inclined to say "It's Google problem...ask there" but I'm hoping a Gmail user here might have had this same issue before. Even as a dedicated Apple person for many years, I still can't give up Gmail and their spam filtering that Apple Mail can't come close to. Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks, Andy. I should have posted a closure statement on this thread as I finally figured everything out. The most frustrating thing is Google's own advice at http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78892# couldn't further from correct. After many hours of experimenting with settings, I finally came up with the correct ones. In fact, I'm in the process of writing an article about it since there is simply no definitive guidance on the web that I've been able to find in the time I've searched.
Your comments are on target...everything on the *Behaviors Tab* needs to be checked (excepts Notes) and the *Delete when* settings must be set to Never. But there are a few other things that must be done, including some changes on Gmail Settings before Mail and Gmail will be perfectly synchronous. I'll post the entire solution on this forum when I finish the graphics.

How do I keep duplicate messages in Mail and Gmail?

For the past few years messages would appear in both my Mail and Gmail inboxes. If I deleted a message in Gmail, the duplicate would REMAIN in Mail. Therefore, I could keep some messages in my gmail account that pertained to work and delete their duplicates in Mail (since I wouldn't need them at home). Likewise, I could keep some messages organized in my Mail folders and delete their counterparts in the Gmail account.
At some point I must've downloaded an update or something because the accounts are now totally synced. If I delete a message in my Gmail inbox (or even move it to a Gmail folder), it vanishes from my Mail inbox.
I know this is how most people like these programs to work together, but is there a way to revert it back to the way it was? I tried toggling off POP, then testing it (didn't work). Then I toggled off IMAP (still didn't work). Then I toggled both of them off (still didn't work). My Mail account is listed as IMAP for what it's worth.

Try posting this in the 10.7 Mail forum. You'll get more help there.

RSS feeds between Apple Mail and Gmail

I was wondering if this is possible or if this even exists.
I am subscribed to RSS feeds in Apple Mail which I love reading on my iMac. But when I'm at the office on a Windows machine I can only read my RSS feeds through Gmail. It's hard to keep track of what I haven't read and have read.
Is there a way to sync which RSS reeds which are read/unread with Apple Mail and Gmail?

I desperately need help with Mail, specifically sending

For Starters: I am on OSX 10.9.2 and am trying to use mail 7.2.
https://discussions.apple.com/post!input.jspa?container=2998&containerType=14&qu estion=I+desperately+need+help+with+Mail%2C+specifically+sending
I cannot send. I have been at this for hours and hours and hours. Here are the details.
my mail server however is s1.sistercompany.net
I can receive email just fine. I can also send mail just find having set this up on my iphone and also in thunderbird (which i hate hate hate hate hate hate hate, which is why I am desperate to set up mail)
The settings in thunderbird are as follows:
Servername: s1.sistercompany.net
port: 465
Authentication method: normal password
Connection Security: SSL/TLS
However, I just can't get this to work in Mail. When I write an email and hit send I get a popup that says:
Cannot send message using the server s1.sistercompany.net
The certifcate for this server is invalid.
Now, my tech guy says yeah the certifacte is invalid because you are going through sistercompany server, there should be some way to just accept the certifcate anyway (but he has never used mail before).
So I have serached around and come up with this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11706
Which tells me to use the verify certificate dialogue, which I would do except there is no verify certificate dialog. Any thoughts?

TS3276 Is there a way to sync POP subfolders and download them for backup in Mail on my MBP? I tried syncing the account with Mail and only the Inbox downloads onto my computer.

Is there a way to sync POP subfolders and download them for backup in Mail on my MBP? I tried syncing the account with Mail and only the Inbox downloads onto my computer. I have Googled enough to find out that the answer is no, but no official answer or recent answer and I am hopeful that there has been a change.

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

I have problems synchronizing my iPhone 5 contacts with Facebook and Gmail. What is the way to do it?

When I synchronize my iPhone 5 with Facebook and Gmail, contacts changes. How should I do that synchronization?

Google contact sync is set up through Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > and inside that setting somehwere is something that says Contacts. Make sure that switch is ON. Same for Facebook. In settings > Facebook is an item that says Contacts. Make sure it is ON.

Problems with Mail and Safari

Hi,
I'm running OS 10.11 and am having some consistent problems with Mail and Safari on my MacPro Dual 2.66. Here they are:
Sometimes, for no apparent reason, selecting these applications from the dock no longer opens the application (or a new window if already opened), but causes them to be revealed in the finder.
In Safari, when this problem occurs, another symptom seems to be that new windows will ONLY open in a new tab, even though I have preferences set to open links in a new window. If I click on a bookmark within a folder in the bookmark toolbar, Safari will open ALL the bookmarks in the folder in new tabs!!
In Mail, when I open my Inbox, clicking on various messages will highlight (in blue) ALL the messages I'm clicking on, instead of simply displaying the highlighted message in the reader.
The only way to get things back to normal is to reboot my machine, which is getting to be a total drag, especially since this seems to happen fairly often.
One other thing that may be related- if my screen saver is running, and I move the mouse to go to an active screen, the computer will "freeze." It stays like this indefinitely- I figured out that if I press the button on the machine itself it will go to sleep, and I can wake it up and then everything is fine, but I don't understand what's going on.
I have tried using Disk Utility and Disk Warrior, and have used OnyX to clean out my system cache and aall sorts of other stuff, but to no avail.
Is anybody else experiencing any of this? I'm starting to get really frustrated. Thanks for any advice.
Cheers,
Andrew

Scott,
I had posted earlier that I had Flash payer problems and then QuickTime and PDF preview problems too, on my Intel PowerMac. I could not figure out what the problem was, because fixing permissions and moving plugins did not work. Console indicated that the Quicktime components were not found, with the problem in a webkit pref file somewhere (nil field value). Anyway, I bailed and reinstalled Leopard from a 10.5.0 DVD, and then updated using the combo updater to 10.5.3. Everything worked. Then, after the 'Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update 1', it all broke again. This time, repairing permissions resulted in:
User differs on "System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Home/lib/jvm.cfg", should be 0, user is 95.
User differs on "System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Libraries/classlist" , should be 0, user is 95.
Now it all works again. This is obviously a flaw with the Java update, and also somehow Disk Utility did not find it earlier. Anyway, take a look at reverting the Java update, or manually changing user for those files (I suppose user 0 is root, but maybe it is nobody).
Obscure....

Help with writing and retrieving data from a table field with type "LCHR"

Hi Experts,
I need help with writing and reading data from a database table field which has a type of "LCHR". I have given an example of the original code but don't know what to change it to in order to fix it and still read in the original data that's stored in the LCHR field.
Basically we have two Function modules, one that saves list data to a database table and one that reads in this data. Both Function modules have an identicle table which has an array of fields from type INT4, CHAR, and type P. The INT4 field is the first one.
Incidentally this worked in the 4.7 non-unicode system but is now dumping in the new ECC6 Unicode system.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Anuj,
The unicode flag is active.
When I run our report and then to try and save the list data a dump is happening at the following point
LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
As I say, T_TAB consists of different fields and field types whereas L_WA is CHAR 800. The dump mentions UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE
When I try to load a saved list the dump is happening at the following point
APPEND T_DATA-RAWDATA to T_TAB.
T_DATA-RAWDATA is type LCHR and T_TAB consists of different fields and field types.
In both examples the dumps mention UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE
