HT1277 mail is faulted

I'm facing to a big problem with app default mail of Lion OS. when i'm change account in setting of mail, it's suddenly stiff and not control. i attempted to shut it down by force quit. nonetheless, it is still faulted. anyone could offer me a advice, please. Thanks for regard.

"Not efficient"? Did you mean "not effective" there?
What account setting(s) did you change?
I don't know enough information about your configuration and about the error to provide a more specific and more detailed suggestion, unfortunately. (And some of your phrasing is confusing to me.)
Is there somebody that's more local to you that could provide you with more direct assistance? Maybe a Genius at the local Apple store?

HT1277 mail not showing up???

just wiped my mac and installed mountain lion, icloud has pulled down my mac email details but nothing else, i can configure manually - but the issue is that no email is showing at all...?
any ideas?

Your other accounts are not really all that relevant to this discussion, other than meaning that your network connection is probably working; each account entry is separate.
What did Connection Doctor report?
I am assuming your iCloud account is incorrectly configured.
If not,  > System Preferences > iCloud, and configure your iCloud credentials and access.
Here is the Apple troubleshooting document for iCloud mail (TS4002).
I had some issues with an explicit account entry for iCloud mail, and ended up removing it and migrating to the iCloud account entry. (The iCloud set-up can be via the iCloud entry or via an explicit account entry, depending on the version of OS X. Your version is recent enough to have the iCloud entry in mail, if things are working.)
Why Apple's automated system is pointing to an archived article (HT1277) here is an open question, too.

HT1277 mail problems

I have fro three months been sending receieving mail with imac, ipad and iphone.
juts recently the imac does not dowload any of my email messages, has anyone any ideas on this problem?
I can send a message ok from the imac but my ipad and iphone has message for the ;ast few weeks on it but they are not readable on the imac
help please!!!

The following is a partial restatement of what I believe you're referring to, and some background on how mail works. It's also a wall jargon-filled text; sorry about that. :-)
So if I understand your posting, your iMac, your iPad and your iPhone were all once working, and presumably all with the same SMTP mail server for sending mail outbound, and all with the same inbound IMAP (preferably) or POP (less desirably) for reading mail from the mail server to the mail client.
More recently, your iMac client can send out mail (and presumably can also receive mail messages from the mail server?), but (some of?) the messages are not also visible on the iPad and iPhone. (I'm here guessing that you mean that you can't find the messages on the mail server with your "but they are not readable on the imac" comment, and not that the messages are available on the mail server, but are corrupt. I've seen corrupted messages occasionally, but I'm guessing you're not reporting that.)
Did you recently migrate from Mobleme to iCloud? That too can trigger odd mail behavior, if the migration didn't happen quite right.
Now as a guess to what is happening here. Mail messages can be retained on and stored on the mail server, or can be downloaded and stored on the mail client. Mail messages that are retained on the server are available to other clients. Mail messages that are downloaded to the client are not available on other clients.
It is also common for POP-based connections to download the received messages to the client - and delete them from the server - though this can be configurable within the client. So if one of your clients is configured for POP, it can download the messages and the other clients cannot then access the messages; they've been pulled off the server.
To troubleshoot this, look at the receive settings (POP or IMAP, use IMAP if your mail provider offers it) and also the send (SMTP) settings for each mail account in each of your three clients, and confirm that the user and password and the mail server settings are all as the mail provider requires. If you have POP or have to use POP, make sure the client is configured to leave the messages on the server.
Each account on each client will have two host settings (one for reading messages from the server via POP or IMAP, and one for sending messages to the server via SMTP), and each server will have a username and password; you'll have six username and six password settings and six host name settings across your three clients. Of course your iMac is the first one to look at, but you'll want to confirm all six are correct.
And on OS X as a test for whether your Mail.app mail client is working correctly, use the Connection Doctor to confirm that mail is working. Within Mail.app, that's Window > Connection Doctor... This confirms that your mail is (generally) working. Also read through the HT1277 support article; that describes how OS X Mail.app is configured in some detail.
Alternatively, if your iMac has support (it's new enough, or you have current AppleCare), then you can also consider call up Apple and have them take a look at this.

HT1277 Mail won't come in unless I open and close mail each time! help!

Mail won't come in unless restart "mail" each time. IMAP cox trying to setup new email addresses....connection doctor shows mail checked and 'light' is green but mail will not display until restarting. I know there is a simple solution, just can't see what it is! Can anyone help? I tend to make things more difficult than I need to!

Okay, I solved the problem... FINALLY!!! Added "pop" to my email address when re-setting up account in Mail. This allowed me to set it up as a pop account and all works well!! Problem "Solved"!!

HT1277 Mail on my Mac computer does not update when I update my mail on my phone and iPad. Can anyone help me with this? Is there a setting I need to check?

Mail on my Mac computer does not update when I update my mail on my iPhone and iPad. Can anyone help me with this? Is there a setting that I need to check?

All that you had to do was to sign into the old account in order to update those apps. What I mean is that you just needed to sign into that account in the store settings like I described and that should have worked. You didnt need to enter the credit card information again - you justed needed to use the old ID and password.
Anyway, I think the good news is that if everything else is OK with the new account, just download iBooks with the new ID - it's a free app so its not like you have to pay for it again. I'm not sure what the other App is that you are talking about - but if it is the Apple Store App - that is free as well.
Try this anyway, when you try to update iBooks, just use the old password if the old ID still pops up.
Did you try signing into the store settings with your new ID and see what happens with the updates then?

Mac Mail at fault, says Bell. True?

Hello,
I've used Macs since 1987, but (ironically) it's only with my new MacBook Pro (running Mavericks of course) that I'm constantly having to re-enter my password when trying to get or send mail from my Mail program. (I think I used to have to do this, pre-Mavericks, but not nearly as often).
At first I blamed Bell (my service provider), and they've been good. A technician said that he did see some issues, and has been at my place, both inside and out; he gave me a brand new modem, and fixed what he said might have been some loose wiring outside.
All to no avail.
When I called just now, to say that the problem persists, a Bell tech help person who sounds knowledgable said that this is a problem, plain and simple, with Mac Mail. Mail is "very finicky when it comes to POP3 accounts", he said; more specifically, he says it's the way that Mac Mail does its SSL encryption.
Thought I'd run this by the gurus on this forum.
(and just so you know, Bell doesn't allow IMAP accounts for some reason, so I can't simply switch to one of those).
Any thoughts/suggestions?
thanks,
Malcolm

The password is saved in your 'login' keychain.
Backup your login keychain before you delete items by copying /Users/YOUR-USERNAME/Library/Keychains to an external disk (use the Finder's Go menu to open your user Library folder). Time Machine should do this anyway.
Open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access and look for entries that are for the Bell email account (you may find multiple entries for the sending & recieving server addresses). Make sure you are looking at the 'login' keychain - it may have your username if you have migrated over older OS's.
Remove any duplicates that you know are out of date, or delete them all if you are certain that you don't need them (& know the password).
If it continues to prompt you there is another test you can try, create a new user account (in System Preferences > Users & Groups) setup your Bell email account - if it works OK you know that it's capable of working in Mail. Each User account has it's own keychain, so it could still be the reason for it failing in the original account.
P.S. I have seen this issue some time ago, so search here for 'mail password prompt', someone might have a better answer

HT1277 mail 4.6 will not open

I just updated my OS X software to 10.6.8 and now I get a message that "mail.app" will not open. The update installed a newer version of applemail so I now have two versons of mail.app on my hard drive. When I try to open the old version (the one that worked perfectly fine earlier today), version 4.5, I get a message that says this version is not compatible with OS X 10.6. When I try to open up the new applemail 4.6 nothing happens. The mail program does not open and no error messages are shown.
I either want to uninstall the update to OS X, or I want to fix whatever is wrong with these two programs and get the mail 4.6 to open and run properly.
If anyone can shed some light on this it woulb be greatly appreciated.
Frustrated in Ontario,
R F K

I'm in the same boat as you, dakriv. I just allowed Software Update to install the latest security patch (including Mail 4.6) on my MacBook Pro (running OSX 10.6.8) and it killed my local email access. Mail 4.5 gives the error message noted by RFK and Mail 4.6 won't open at all. Hopefully, Apple will fix this problem soon. Until then, it looks like I'll have to rely on my iPad for email.

HT1277 Mail Incoming

On awakening from sleep, Mountain Lion Mail can send SMTP ok, but cannot recieve POP incoming messages. Mailbox / "Get New Mail" does not respond and gives the sound that indicates no incoming mail available. The only fix I have found is to restart Mail. This problem did not occur in Lion.

Ok so open your mail prefrences and go to accounts, remove the account completely. Then open Safari go to the online webmail, and sign into the account. Afterwards, mimimize safari and reopen the mail application, add the account again, the account should resync with the server and establish a better connection.

HT1277 Mail mobile me vs iCloud account

when setting up a new account in mail it persists in being a mobile me account rather than the required iCloud account??????

What do you refer with Pro? If it's a Mac, check if it uses Lion and configure the servers: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864?viewlocale=en_US

HT1277 Mail has gone crazy. Header's and messages are mixed up. New Mac Book Pro. Migrated files from Time machine running snow leopard. Reinstall or new computer needed?

Ok; I'm not sure what you're doing. 36 hours is rather long. Seems like a new migration. Not what I intended.
Here's what I intended: from the newly-migrated and apparently-corrupt environment, create a new user, not related to any existing user, nor any migration-created user, or any other user for that matter. That is, use  > System Preferences > Users and Groups, authenticate yourself by clicking on the padlock, and then click the + and create a wholly new user. Then log in under that user and establish the mail access.
36 hours? I'm wondering if there's an error or an exceedingly slow network here? Or a really, really slow disk? Or a sick backup? (WiFi isn't the path I'd usually choose, either.)
Failing the attempted second migration, I'd try a different tactic. Does your existing (old) system work? If so, I'd bypass the backup and connect an external (scratch) USB disk drive to the (old) sstem and then boot and use Disk Utility booted from the installer DVD disk or boot and use Disk Utility from the recovery partition or booted from a recovery partition created on some other external storage (details here vary by the OS X version and what hardware you have), and perform a full-disk backup of your original internal disk to (scratch) external storage. (Make sure you get the source and target disks chosen correctly here; copying the wrong way — from the scratch disk to your existing disk — will clobber your data!) In esssence, this will clone your existing boot disk. Then dismount the (formerly-scratch) external disk, transfer it over to the new system, and use it as the source of the migration, by performing a fresh OS X installation on the new system.
Target Disk Mode is also sometimes an option for accessing the disk for a migration, but that requires the right cable, and requires systems that have the same external connection; newer MacBook Pro systems use Thunderbolt for this, and older systems tend to use FireWire. And I'm guessing you don't have compatible hardware.
The details here can and do vary by your OS X versions and your particular Mac systems — if you'll identify the specific models and hardware, somebody might be able to better tailor the above (fairly generic) sequence to your particular configuration.

HT1277 mail application degrading in performance

My mail application recently became painfully slow when performing simple tasts such as typing, scrolling, and opening and closing windows. It's only the mail app that's performing this way. I'm on os x 10.8.4. I ran disc utility, but it found no problems. Any helpful suggestions?

The Folder and Store objects are multithread safe, so that's not an issue.
Of course, it's up to you to coordinate access to the Folder so that different
threads don't confuse each other.

HT1277 Mail is set up and I can send e mails but since 1st of June I cannot receive, I have tried connection doctor everything seems fine, any ideas?

Mail is set up and I can send e mails but since 1st of June I cannot receive, I have tried connection doctor everything seems fine, any ideas?

There are two entirely different paths involved here; SMTP for send and either POP or IMAP receive. Check your receive path. Confirm username, password and the POP or IMAP server identity. Also check directly with your mail provider, and ensure the POP or IMAP server is functioning and online, and the provider hasn't changed their particular POP or IMAP configuration requirements.

HT1277 Mail, IMAP, Yahoo! Any way not to download all messages?

I love the way my Yahoo Plus mail account syncs with my iPad's Mail program...it all syncs so smoothly.
In trying to set up my Macbook's Mail program to do the same thing, I realized I need to change it to IMAP. When I did so, it started to download all 15,000 old messages that I have on the Yahoo servers. Is there any way to only download the newer messages, or do I have to face the music and clean up my Yahoo account?

(I'm not sure why this support page forced me to choose a community -- my closest choice was OS 10.6)

Sorry, but Gmail does not currently have that ability, they are looking into adding it in the future.

HT1277 mail for my domain

I am trying to set up mac mail with my own domain, the outgoing is working but when someone tries to reply it is getting mail failure delivery problems. my domain mail is support by google/a... any advice?

Can you reply to your own incoming mail? - Send yourself a test message.
I have my mail set to always bcc myself so that I can monitor it - it also keeps my various POP accounts synchronised.
