Help with mail...IMAP or POP

Hey everyone.....i am having an issue with an email account......i have a website that uses *@lmiinc.com......i and my partner both use this email account using IMAP.....he uses outlook and i use mac mail of course ......problem is that if an email goes through and he deletes it before i read it its like it never existed to me.......and of course visa versa.......how can i avoid this? thanks!

thanks for the reply.....here is the thing...we DO have separate email accounts but this is the full setup:
I have:
[email protected]
He has:
[email protected]
Company's MAIN email is:
[email protected]
We BOTH have the [email protected] in our email apps....would it just be better for me to change it so it just forwards everything to our separate private accounts?
Thanks

  • 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?

  • Help with Mail Server Setup/DynDNS

    I don't have a static IP so I setup an account/registered a domain with DynDNS. The test site is hosted fine via Leopard Server. However, I am trying to setup a mail server to no avail. Configured Mail Server through the assistant and ended up with these settings: domain name - performa460.com hostname - mail.performa460.com POP, IMAP, and SMTP all enabled. Setup a user in workgroup manager and enabled mail. Still Cannot access mail through Mail.app and no users are listed on the Maintenance/Accounts pane. Obviously I'm new to this and need to be pointed in the right direction. Any help is apreciated; thanks!

    DynDNS's base service won't work for you if you want to use your own full domain name unless you use their Custom DNS paid service. I'm assuming this is something you've already done. If so, you need to configure both the host name and the MX records for your domain to point to the right places. You'll need to set up DynDNS name servers through whatever domain registrar you use and then configure the CustomDNS service through DynDNS's web interface. Once you can successfully connect using a web browser, then look into your mail settings.
    However, depending on what provider you're using for your broadband, you may have the mail ports blocked by your ISP and/or in your cablemodem/router. Be sure to open 25 and 587 and any other ports you intend to use.
    Finally, you may find that even if you've configured everything correctly, other providers will refuse your mail as spam (google, yahoo, etc) because your IP address is on a "residential subnet" or because your forward and reverse DNS don't match. That means you'll need a mail reflector to bounce your mail off of with a proper IP. DynDNS has inbound and outbound mailhop services that you can use for an additional fee.
    Bottom line is, because spambots inhabit a lot of dynamic IP blocks, you have to jump through a ton of hoops to get it working reliably.

    i don't understand...the whole outgoing thing!
    my email address is in hotmail. k! I don't have a .mac account

  • Help with Gmail IMAP in Mac Mall: Folders transfered from Exchange server

    I'm in the process of migrating a mail account from an Exchange server over to Goggle Apps. I've transfered all old mail and the existing Exchange folder structure over to Gmail. Gmail doesn't recognize folders but instead reads the folder structure as Labels. When the account is subsequently imported into Mac Mail it appears that the orgiginal Exhange folder structure holds on the other side, which was my intent. These folders appear in Mail within the Mailboxes>Inbox.
    However, there doesn't seem to be a way to insert a new folder into the Gmail IMAP account within the Inbox folder structure. I have successfully created a new "Mailbox" in Mail, but this appears to get inserted into the local version of the Gmail account much lower on the left hand side bar. It seems that I can pick up the "Mailbox" once it is created and move it up into the intended location, but only as a sub-folder. I am not able to promote it to the desired heirarchy or intended location.
    Does anyone have any history with this or possibly a fix or suggestion?
    Thanks!

    My recollection is that unless you are a paid Hotmail account member, you cannot use Mail. Do a search within the discussion group, as I am not an expert, but I recall not getting Hotmail for that very reason.
    Perhaps give gmail a try.....
    That said....I still need some help with my posting! So please and thank you.

  • Need help with Mail

    Hi:
    Need your help with something I don´t understand: we try to set up a new hotmail account in Mail (we have used both Preference Panel and directly in Mail) but it never recieves the Inbox. I can send but don´t see anything in Inbox.
    I looked into User/Library/Mail/V2/accountname/INBOX.mbox/ and the folder with the xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx name structure is never created.
    I tried to set up another hotmail account and it works ok, only this specific account fails.
    I Used a Permissions repair, didn't worked. Erased all data in V2, again not worked. Tried to "cheat" Mail setting up another hotmail account and then changing info to the specific account failing, not luck. Also reset sync services (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627?viewlocale=es_ES), still not work. Rebuild inside Mail also didn´t worked. Any idea to get this account working?
    BTW, sorry for my bad english...

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

  • Need help with Mail - Hotmail .. actual hotmail account won't delete

    Hello, first post! I just purchased a mac last week. First one ever so i'm learning to use the programs and having some fun. I opened up the mail application and synced with my gmail account just fine. I then added a 2nd account which was my hotmail account. I'm not happy with how the hotmail account syncs with mac mail application. The problem arises when i try to delete the Hotmail account i added. I right clicked and selected "delete account" and it deleted all my email but the Hotmail inbox icon will not delete and i am still getting new emails into the inbox. I'm not sure if i explained this correctly so feel free to ask for clarification. Does anyone know how i can get rid of my hotmail account from my macbook mail application for good?

  • Sync with Mail on Ovi - POP / IMAP

    Hello there,I have a Mail on Ovi e-mail account, and I would like to have access to it in several programs like Digsby, and some others, but to do so, they ask me POP and IMAP details. I have read somewhere that Mail on Ovi doesn't require that so we can have access to it in other services, but Digsby asks for it.Best regards,Carlos Silva

  • 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?

  • Please help with Mail Syncing

    Ok I have my Mail app on Leopard set up to recieve my Gmail emails.
    Same thing on my iPhone.
    Now the question is:
    How can I set it up so that emails from my Gmail account are sent to both my iPhone and Mail app on my macbook?
    Same with sent mail, is there anyway for sent emails to show up on both also?
    Its so frustrating having to look through both my phone and laptop for an email.
    There has to be some kind of solution for this.

    If you are accessing your gmail account as a pop account, then once you download mail to you computer, it is no longer available on the gmail server for the iphone.
    if so, what you can do is go into your mail.app and open the preferences.
    Go to accounts and select your gmail account.
    Click on the advanced tab, and there is an option to remove copy from server after retrieving.
    If you uncheck this, it should leave the email on the server, and you should be able to access it with your iphone also.
    Hope this helps.

  • Sent mail - Imap and Pop

    Hi,
    Until recently I was using Gmail Pop on Apple Mail for my emails. I am now using Imap and things seem to have gotten a bit more complicated.
    I would still like to use Gmail Pop on a different computer as backup system. I just opened the Pop Gmail and noticed that while I was able to download all the messages I had sent through Gmail Webmail, I cannot retrieve the messages I sent from Apple Mail (Gmail Imap) directly. All the messages do appear however on the Gmail webmail sent folder (well, I guess I should say label, since Gmail does not use folders).
    (Just for clarification, the Webmail sent messages always showed up in my Inbox so, as it was the case in the past, I have to drag them manually to the sent folder. Might not be the the best solution but I am ok with this).
    I have the feeling this might have to do with Gmail labels or something like it. Perhaps there is a way of labelling Gmail Imap sent messages in a way that can be downloaded to the Pop account. I would really like to download to my Mail Pop account all my Gmail sent messages.
    Thanks,
    Pablo

    I looked in my user folder and for one important pop account there are two folders:
    one has the domain name after the user name and inside that there is a sent messages folder with mbox messages.
    However when I was setting the account up it failed and I had to put an IP number in the incomming mail server box to get it online. That account is listed inside my mail folder as well but has no messages.
    How do I get them to merge?

  • 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.)
