How to get mail to work properly?

Hello,
I'm trying to setup my mail app, so that it sends from my work email address - lets call it [email protected] I've setup the work email address in the mail app as an exchange account.
When I'm sending an email, it says the work email address, then next to it, it says "via ABC.com".
Why is it doing this, and how do I fix it?
Cheers.

Do you have a yahoo account that allows you to access it with your email? As I recall, the very basic and free yahoo account only allows web browser access.
If that's not a consideration, ensure that your incoming mail server user name is fully qualified, ie, [email protected]
Click window and connection doctor and see what it says about the connection. If you see a red dot, look to the right for the reason. If you click on the reason it should take you to where to fix it.

How to get adobe to work properly

I have downloaded the adobe flash player and it will not work properly for me at all what can be done here

First, you're in the wrong forum. This is for Adobe Reader, not Flash Player.
Second, without providing your OS and browser, you leave anyone and everyone who can help guessing as to where to even begin.

A tip on how to get mail to work with O2 SMTP servers.

I found I had a problem in Mountain Lion where Mail could not log into the O2 SMTP servers even though I was using the exact same settings that were on my iPhone, iPad and MBP running Lion?
Well I finally found a solution.
In Mail open preferences and click on Accounts and select the account in the lefthand pane.
Click on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) and in the drop down menu select Edit SMTP Servers to get:
Normally the radio button against Use Default Ports would be checked, instead check Use Custom Port and insert the number 25 and click OK.
Now back at the Accounts window click on Advanced at the top to get:
Make sure you have Port 110, on mine changing the SMPT to 25 also altered this to 25 so worth checking. When you have finished close the preferences and click on save, quite Mail then restart hopefully all should work now.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Anybody know how to get the clock working properly!

:x The stupid dumb blankety blank clock won't stabilize. Every time I reboot it changes. A petty little problem, but I bet somebody knows how to fix it.
In rc.conf I have hardwareclock set to "localtime" and timezone set to EST. In kde if I open Adjust Date & Time it's set to utc? Should I change rc.conf to UTC?? I just tried to adjust the clock and it would'nt
adjust at all. Anybody know how to fix this? -- Thanks - Larry
I changed timezone to America/NewYork, instead of EST, they're both listed in usr/share/zoneinfo, and then left the fields in the Adjust Date & Time blank. It seems to be working, but what is the correct method?

I have come to love htpd from freshmeat. Instead of accessing a timeserver it uses any old website. My clock is 3 seconds out on boot and it adjusts for that immediately then it checks every 12 hours. That may not suit everybody and those people would probably choose adjtime which calculates a slew rate and then brings your clock into synch with whatever atomic timeserver you nominate. However htpd is simple and it works. I use my ISP port 80.

I recently changed from a pc to a mac book. The major issue I am having right now is getting yahoo to work properly. The major thing is autocomplete does not work and I do not know how to load my contacts to "mail".

I recently changed from a pc to a mac book. The major issue I am having right now is getting yahoo to work properly. The major thing is autocomplete does not work and I do not know how to load my contacts to "mail". Furthermore, I cannot attach any type of documents to my emails (Yahoo says there is a problem). I suspect there is a setting somewhere, but I don't know where. Javascript is enabled, so I am out of options

Which os are you using?
Yahoo issues should be posted in their forums or contact Yahoo tech support.

Can't get Mail to work - I get the spinning wheel and Mail freezes. I have to Force Quit it. How do I fix this?

Can't get Mail to work - I get the spinning wheel and Mail freezes. I have to Force Quit Mail . How do I fix this problem?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, 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). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

It's even an irony that this forum doesnt work on safari at all. All the buttons are just ... buttons. Nothing works when you click on it (i.e. filtering, tagging, etc).
Even more ironic is the fact that I use nothing but Safari, and it works correctly in Gmail, as well as on this site.

I am using Hover for my email address and I can not get it to work properly

I've changed the MX record to 10mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com (Hover's recomendation) but it's still not working.
How Can I get this to work properly?
Thanks for the help!

Hey KoobeP,
I have performed a DNS look-up on the domain stormbluedesign.com and can see that the MX record you have added exists within our DNS: http://screencastmb.worldsecuresystems.com/img/2013-04-24_0949.png. However, this MX record is not pointing to any IP address which leads me to believe the MX record you added is incorrect.
I believe the MX record you need to add is mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com, with a priority of 10. Not 10mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com. But as always, contact your mail service provider for confirmation on the records they require you to add.

After installing IOS 5 can't get mail to work...

I have been having trouble installing IOS 5 on my Ipad and part of the problem may have been with my home computer... In any event, I finally was able to get it on but the result is a bit discouraging. All my apps are there, but I lost everything on them... not that there was much... but my main concern is that I can't get Mail to work... I go in settings and when I click on mail... it just goes back to the page with all the icons... I have tried reinitializing and all... but nothing works... Any idea what is the issue and how to fix it ?

First try rebooting your iPad. Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart. If that does not help, you may need to restore your iPad in iTunes. You can restore from a backup (assuming you have a backup to restore from).

Getting Mail to work correctly with IMAP server (like Thunderbird does)?

Hi guys,
Is it at all possible to get Mail to work in the same way that Thunderbird does with IMAP servers?
With my Mail setup as it is, if I save a message as a draft, it doesn't get put in the 'Draft' on the server, only on the mac. The junk filter puts it in a junk filter on the mac, not on the server. Same with sent email. And with trash it doesn't seem to put it anywhere, just trashes it. I much prefer Mail to Thunderbird in terms of GUI and such but if it won't put things in folders on the server like it does in Thunderbird I'll have to get that. Can this be done and if so anyone can tell me how?
Thanks
Max

Hey Max,
All the things you are looking for can be found in Mail Preferences.
Go to File -> Preferences -> Mailbox Behaviors. The checkboxes on that page will do most of what you want to do.
Also, go to the Advanced pane in the Preferences as well, and check the drop-down menu under "Keep copies of messages for offline viewing". Select the option that fits your particular work style.
I hope that helps,

Cannot get network to work properly on fresh install

I just got myself a new lenovo laptop and naturally wanted to instakll arch on it immediately.
The network I am on requires me to register the MAC address of the machine before I can access anything more than our intranet. Since this is done via a website, that is obviously difficult to do with arch, so I ran a mandriva livecd first to register it.
Quirk number one: I set up a new partition table and installed arch with grub. somehow one of these things actually changed my MAC address because I needed to reregister it and I could tell there it was a new one registered.
However, booting into arch again and I still can't get it to work properly. pinging our intranet address works fine, but I can't get to the www and so cannot install any new packages.
I've installed mandriva on a separate partition and here it all works fine. So the problem seems to be with Arch. My uneducated guess is that it somehow registers as having a different MAC address in arch, which of course creates a bit of a catch-22 because I can't install the packages needed to go to our intranet website and fix it (I should note - once I re-registered my mac address after creating a new partition table, I could complete a net-install of arch. but no internet access having booted into it).
Anyone know how I can fix this?

but you can check your mac address by using "ifconfig"
also verify if dns (/etc/resolv.conf) and route are well defined
resolv.conf has
# Generated by dhcpcd for interface eth0
search rhk.dk
nameserver 172.20.0.42
nameserver 195.184.96.2
rhk.dk is our intranet. I don't know if those numbers mean anything's out of place.

I have purchased itunes match but the cloud will not load on my ipad 4.the only music that will show up is stuff that i bought from the itunes store.any ideas on how to get this to work?

i have purchased itunes match but the cloud will not load on my ipad 4.it works on my iphone 5 & it originally worked on my ipad.the only music that will show up is stuff that i bought from the itunes store.any ideas on how to get this to work?

On the MBP, in iTunes, switch to Song view and enable the iCloud Status column by pulling down View > View options and selecting the option for "iCloud Status." Close the small window. Look for any tracks that have a status of "waiting." If you see several of them disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, then open it again and turn iTM back on. Let it compelete the scan. Wait until all tracks that are "waiting" have a status of either "matched" or "uploaded."
On the iPad, turn off iTunes Match then launch the Music app and let the contents clear out. Power cycle the iPad for good measure, then re-enable the service once all the tracks in iTunes have been processed.

When I switch my time capsule to 5.0ghz mode the range of my wireless network drops significantly. Near the Time Capsule my Macbook Pro works fine, in my bedroom I have almost no signal. In mixed mode it works fine. Any ideas on how to get 5.0 working?

In mixed mode it works fine both placed. Any ideas on how to get 5.0 working? I thought 5.0Ghz was supposed to have a wider range. Do I need to change a setting on the Macbook Pro?
Thanks, W

I'm not sure if you understand that 5 GHz has some upsides, but also some very significant downsides.
The upside is that the 5 GHz signal will allow faster speeds.
The downside is that you must always give up something in order to gain something else.Unfortunately, the marketing hype about 5 GHz does not go into very many details about this.
In the case of 5 GHz, the 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals, so they do not travel as far or penetrate any obstructions like walls or ceilings nearly as well as 2.4 GHz signals. In many cases, in order to get good 5 Ghz performance, you literally have to have almost a line-of-sight relationship between your computer and the wireless router.
If you have a new dual band router, which broadcasts both a 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signal simutaneously, your Mac will connect to the best signal quality automatically depending on its location in relation to the router. In the same room, without any obstructions, it will connec to 5 GHz. But, take the laptop down the hall a few rooms and around the corner and the Mac will connect to the 2.4 GHz signal because at that location, the 2.4 GHz signal is not only stronger, it is also faster.
