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.)

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?

What is wrong with mail and iCloud?

I have not been able to download mail from iCloud for 3 days. Does anyone Know why?
First I am online then I am offline. All network links say I am offline on mac. I have signed out of
iCloud and signed back in. I have changed my ports, and the incoming and out going server.
Mail preferences will no longer allow me to setup anything all is greyed out. iCloud has become
just as frustrating as microsoft windows. I do not understand why it works one day and not the next.
I never change the settings.

I am seeing the same erratic behavior across all my devices (2 mountian lion macs, iphone).
however, I am able to receive new mail (although maybe some is not getting to me?)
I am seegin behaviors like archive folder empty, vips, empty, mail on mac repeatedly showing mail activitiy downloading all (thousands) of messages. On my iphone, intermittently i have no folders other than my inbox. i refresh and somethimes they come back.
I'm glad to see this post. I thought I was losing my mind.
I don't have a solution, I'm just adding to the converstaion hoping Apple sees this. The iCloud system status has been green since I began having problems so I don't think Apple is aware.

Problems with Mail and iCloud.

I have upgraded to Mavericks on my iMac. I have a Gmail email address that I have used for years: [email protected] I recently also decided to have an iCloud email address as a backup/alternative: [email protected]
Since getting this iCloud email address I now find that whilst I can receive emails which are sent to me with either address, I can only send emails using the .icloud.com address. If I try to send one from my .gmail address it simply dumps itself into "Outbox" and just sits there. I've tried most things, including disabling the .icloud.com address in Mail Preferences, but when I do this I can't send any emails at all! Anybody else had this problem and, if so, did you manage to fix the it? If there is no easy fix, how do I get rid of the .icloud.com email address entirely so that I can go back to using just my Gmail address?
Any suggestions gratefully received.

I decided to disable iCloud - hated that thing anyway - and I modified my user name in the preferences in Mail by adding @gmail.com to the end of my user name. Guess what??? I can now both send and receive emails using my original @gmail.com address!!! Forget what the "science" (or Apple) tells you - use good old fashioned common sense and put in the settings that you should have in the first place.
iCloud has its' place but, quite frankly, it causes me more headaches than solutions so I've turned it off on all my bits of kit. I really don't want to share all my photos, emails, videos blah de blah de blah with every bit of Apple kit I have - I like to use each one individually. Yes, I know all you Apple purists will be calling me a Philistine but you know what?? I really don't give a tinkers cuss!! Each to his own I and just love the way I have it now - my Wife's iPad and iPhone don't interefere with my laptop or iMac and I can delete what I want from whatever bit of kit I want without it deleting the same from every other bit of kit!! iCloud has certain advantages but it can also be very dangerous for the unwary!!

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 gmail and iCloud

Hello all,
Here is what i would like to do, i have as most of you when you got ios 5 signed up for @me.com email addy, I have a mac and iphone, and a ipad2, i would like to get my gmail and hotmail accounts over to my @me.com a. because i want it to be able to sync all my mail across my 2 accounts and the push would be nice and b. because if i delete an email on one device i have to go do it on all my devices manually, i hate this and want to change this. GMail is my main acct and i can not just up and cancel it as it would be a hassel, so can someone advice me on how to get this done painlessly? any help would e

I am new to 1Phone. Last night my phone was working fine with my Gmail account last night, but, today I am getting a password error. I have logged in using my computer to veerify the password and it works fine. I logged in using Safari and it worked fine there also. I cant figure this out. I am not tech saavy and I don't understand the "two step authentication" stuff. Any help would be appreciated. P.S. I have updated my iPhone4 to the new iOS5.

Help with iBook and iCloud

Hi!
I saved a PDF file to iCloud. Can I read this file in iBooks on my iPhone? I can't see it.
Or I have to use iTunes to move my PDF to iBooks only?

I don't think so. I was in error when i said " use iCloud to sync it to your iphone or ipad". I checked my PDF files on my iPad vs iPhone and even though I have the settings for iBook to sync collections, I found the books sync but not the PDF files. To test it I made a quick PDF file from a Pages document on my iPad and emailed it to myself. I opened the attachement on my iPad to iBooks PDF. Then I waited a few minutes and checked my PDF files on my iPhone. The newly created PDF was not there. I would have believed all files associated with iBooks would be synced since when I look at the categories of the syncing under the Settings app for iBooks it says "Sync Bookmarks, Sync Collections, Show All Purchases".
Then I made a Collection and added PDF files to it. This again was done on my iPad. I then checked my iPhone and the Collection file name I had created was there but no files were showing. So then I added a book to the same collection on my iPhone and checked that same collection on my iPad. Same result. Title of the collection shows but no book shows.
I don't have any problems of book purchase syncing to my iPad or iPhone but the Collection function does not cross devices. While this is somewhat frustrating it doesn't stop you from manually adding PDF files to your devices and reading them when you choose.

Help with iTunes and iCloud?

Help, please. My iTunes don't show up in my iCloud account. I went through the required process after buying iTunes Match. I added my MacBook Pro as requested. I appreciate all help. Thanks. I should add that on myiTunes next to music, the iCloud icon has lines going through it. And the songs don't have iCloud icons next to them (I don't know if they're supposed to). Thanks gain.

I've figured things out.

Mail and icloud are f***ed are they not?

Mail and Icloud suck badly right?
I am sending new clients multiple copies of emails and referencing emails that never even got sent and I'm sure they must think I'm mad or incompetant....
It will cost me clients and money for sure..... anyone else having problems with this new ULTRA BUGGY software?

What you're experiencing is not normal, despite what Tom in London implies. Certainly, there have been people who have had problems with iCloud, but the same could be said of GMail, Dropbox, etc. Technology is not perfect.
As to what might be causing the problems, perhaps there is something about what you are sending that is getting caught in spam filters. Or perhaps you are sending attachments that are too big (iCloud will not allow attachments larger than 20 MB, but many other e-mail servers have even lower limits). Perhaps you are having sporadic network failures that are causing messages to never get sent. Perhaps you are having some kind of malfunction with your computer in general.
Then again, perhaps there's a problem with your iCloud account, in which case we can't really help you here. Try getting help from Apple's ExpressLane site:

Trying to set up mail and iCloud in iPhone4. It keeps saying verification failed. And the request timed out? Not sure what to do. I do have an iCloud account and am able to log on to it on computer and see mail, contacts, etc. Any ideas?
thanks for any help

If you see the white WiFi bars in the upper left corner, that simply means that the iPad has detected a WiFi network, and that does not mean that you are connected to the Internet.
Can you open web sites with Safari?

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.

Synching between Mac Mail and iCloud Mail

When I recieve messages to my @me.com account on my Mac, I don't recive them when I log into icloud.com website. All my sent emails from the Mac Mail DO show up in both places (Mac Mail and iCloud).
My iOS devices don't have this problem. Any one have an explanation or what I'm misconfiguring? I had the same problem with Lion as I am with Mountain Lion
It is configured for IMAP

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....
