  • My iCloud mail account is not working.

    I checked the settings and confirmed the password.  Then I got a message that the Incoming Mail Server can't be blank.   However, it is greyed out and I can't change it.  Any ideas? 
    I read somewhere on the net that someone deleted their iCloud mail account and recreated it and that worked for them.  I can't delete mine though.

    Duh! Stupid me.  I tried my new Apple password and now its working.

  • Since the update my imap mail account does not work

    Well, it still owrks on my imac but not on iphone or ipad.  Settings are exactly the same on all three.  I deleted the mail account on the ipad and ipone and re-set them up but still doesnt work.  All I get is the spinner and mail hangs forever eventually it says that the mail server is not responding and to verify that Ive entred the correct account info in the mail settings.  I have! Several times....
    Thank you in advance for any insight that is offered

    You don't input the information in manually for iCloud mail. It is automatically set up for you when you sign into iCloud via System Preferences and choose the Mail checkbox. Sign out of iCloud or deselect Mail in iCloud preferences. Open Mail's preferences and choose accounts tab. If iCloud account still exists in the list, delete it. Sign back into iCloud or check the box for mail. The account will be auto created for you.

  • My icloud Mail Account is not working anymore

    In the preferences the Mail host is mail.example.com, but grey out, I can not edit it. Any guesses? The mail domain is me.com

    I was afraid because the system asked me if I want to delete all contacts and so on on this device :-( But I did.
    After I logged in again icloud was not able to create mail and notes. I added an account manualy in the mail , an wonder oh wonder , everything was back again :-) thank you

  • TS3276 My o2 email account does not work when sending from my MAC it will accept incoming mail but not send it gives me a message that  o2 account (offline) my mac I have no problem with my iPhone  or mac laptop. any suggestions please.

    My o2 email account does not work when sending from my MAC it will accept incoming mail but not send it gives me a message that  o2 account (offline) my mac I have no problem with my iPhone  or mac laptop. any suggestions please.

    Sorry for the delay...
    I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
    I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
    Thanks for the help, anyway!!

  • ICloud mail account could not be enabled

    Since I have updated to Mavericks I have been having difficulty with "Mail".  I had 4 accounts; two of which were gmail accounts.
    After reading about the gmail issues, I was hoping that the recent "Mail Update for Mavericks" would solve my issue. Unfortuantely my issues remain.
    The problem first began with the program taking minutes (up to 10 min) to load; forcing me to force quit the program many times.
    I slowly deleted the various accounts from my icloud account. Interestingly in the System Preferences under "internet accounts" it would initially not display all of the accounts that I had listed in the mail program. It would also take 10 min to load the accounts into the Accounts Pane on the "internet Account" dialog.
    Even after deleting each of the accounts; including my icloud account and then only re-enabling my icloud account things didn't get better.
    Now "mail" doesn't load at all. And I can't enable "mail" in the Icloud system preferences.
    It times out after 3-5 minutes saying "Your iCloud mail account could not be enabled. Try enabling it again". Of course; trying again gets the same message.
    So I'm stuck not using "Mail" at all; and I don't know what the issue is.
    I've moved on to "AirMail" and it is working fine. But would like to use "Mail".
    Any one else getting this???

    I had this problem & found these instructions, it worked everything as it was before the upgrade now, except I've lost the old email accounts I deleted.
    The problem was caused by dodgy entries in the accounts.plist file in my User Library folder. It appears that either when I upgraded to Mavericks this file gained many thousands of duplicate entries, or maybe these entries were in there before but previously the OSX/Mail combination was more tolerant. When I removed these the problem with Mail disappeared. Here’s what I did….
    1> Make the user Library folder visible - in Mavericks this is a lot easier than Lion/Mountain Lion. Simply open up your user directory in Finder, select menu View>Show View Options, and select “Show Library Folder”
    2> Navigate through username>Library>Mail>V2>MailData and select the Accounts.plist file. If this file is multiple megabytes (mine was 40+mb) then this is likely the cause of your problem (once sorted mine ended up at 19k in size!)
    3> To be safe, make a copy of this file (I placed the copy on my desktop).
    4> Using your chosen text editor (I used Text Wrangler but I’m sure TextEdit would work just fine) open the Accounts.plist in the MailData folder (not your backup copy) and take a look. If it’s the same as me you will find hundreds and hundreds of entries for the same mailbox repeated in there. Mine was an old MSN mailbox that I never use any more (I’ve seen in other forums that other Hotmail type accounts also seem to be the culprits in this context). There will likely be two lots of repeated data, one in the XML “DeliveryAccounts” <array> section, and one lot in the “MailAccounts” <array> section.
    5> Delete (keeping in mind the need to select the XML sections correctly from <dict> to </dict> completely) all those extra entries that you found, keeping the mail accounts you do need, in the XML and save the file.
    6> Mail should open up nice and fast again and not eat your system
    7> If this did not work, and causes problems because of over eager deleting in <5> you can replace your broken Accounts.plist file with your backup and try again.

  • When logging in into yahoo mail after typing in password Firefox is adding something, login fails all the time. At yahoo mail Notepad does not work because it is impossible to close the list of items and they cover information, so I have to go to IE.

    When logging in into yahoo mail after typing in password Firefox is adding something, probably remembered password and login fails all the time. At yahoo mail Notepad does not work because it is impossible to close the list of items and they cover information, so I have to go to IE.

    Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
    Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

  • The e-mail account does not exist at the organization

    Hi, I have a user account that people receive the following message from:
    The e-mail account does not exist at the organization this message was sent to. Check the e-mail address, or contact the recipient directly to find out the correct address.
    <mailserverishere #5.1.1>"
    I'ved looked and this particular case could be a quirky one.
    The details are:
    User account A is the account that Exchange thinks doesn't exist.
    User account B is her boss.
    A copy of user B's email is sent to A. (done through Delivery Options)
    Senders sometime receive an email back saying user A's address doesn't exist.
    (which really confuses them because they sent the email to B)
    This is the only time the bounce message appears.
    I've removed the forward and added it again. Still the problem.
    Any clues?

    You need to verify old delegates in UserB's mailbox by going to Tools -> Options -> Delegates. Remove old UserA and re-add it.
    This is because of option “Delegates receives copy of meeting-related mails sent to me” is ticked with old UserA id in Delegates.
    If you can't see any delegates then you have another option to delete delegates rule with MFCMapi.
    - Open UserB's Mailbox with MFCMapi where UserB's outlook profile configured in online mode (not Cache mode)
    - Double click the Mailbox of userB to open.
    - Expand Root Container -> Top of the information store -> Inbox folder
    - Right-click the "Inbox" folder, and then click "Display Rules Table".
    - You can see all rules configured in mailbox. 
    - Delete the Delegate Rule with "PR_RULE_PROVIDER" column property shows "Schedule+EMS Interface". (this is the same option which you can set with GUI Delegation "Delegates receives copy of meeting-related mails sent to me" but stale copy is still in mailbox.)

  • Fetch new mail messages does not work

    On my notebook the fetch new mail messages does not work
    Settings:
    - Fetch new messages:     every minute
    - Play sound Purr
    I need to us the manual button.
    On my imac it works fine with the same accounts

    My mail sounds are all screwed up. I hear the plane fly when I send an email but when I receive mail, no sound. I have rules set up which worked in Tiger. One rule is for mail to play a message "You have a message from "John Doe" when I receive an email from "John Doe" but it only plays when I send "John Doe" and email. Assbackwards.
    Sometimes when reading new mail, it just disappears. I have to click on it again. I find this version of email to be very flaky!

    E-mail notification does not work. Test message fails, like everyone else. Is that possible? Someone else had this problem?

     Hello gusev67
    Have you tried with/without custom email notification (SMTP) settings?  
    Have you checked if the defaut or custom SMTP port has been forwarded to your px12?
    Have you checked if your ISP is blocking SMTP ports for your connection?

  • After I upgraded to OS x 10.7.5 my Mail account does not post mail, how come?

    After I upgraded to OS x 10.7.5 my Mail account does not post mail, how come?

    No. Tried all that. Server finally says they don't understand what's happening so better if I just delete accounts and set them up again from scratch. Haven't done that yet in hopes someone in the Apple world will have found a solution.

  • I recently upgraded my IMac to Lion and have found that my mail account does not include a "mail trash" category similar to "mail sent", making it difficult to retrieve mails I might have sent to trash but find I need some information from.  Suggestions?

  • One Yahoo! mail account does not receive email sent from .mac

    OK, this is an odd problem, and any help would be appreciated.
    My girlfriend's Yahoo! mail account does not receive email sent from my .mac address. If I send email from my Gmail or Yahoo! accounts she receives the message. No one else has informed me that they haven't received email from the .mac address. Additionally, the .mac account is in her address book.
    Anyway, has anyone seen a similar pattern with Yahoo! or any other email provider?
    Thanks.
    - Jennings

    Thanks for the reply . . . and yes, the recipient's email provider likely holds the answer.
    However, I was hoping someone here might have had a similar experience and could answer as the email provider is Yahoo, and they are slow in responding to help requests . . . for a period I hosted a personal, paid website through Yahoo Domains and help tickets lingered for several days on multiple occasions (this being the reason the site is no longer hosted by Yahoo). I also doubt Yahoo will expend too much energy resolving a problem for a free email account.
    Anyway, I posted in the Yahoo mail forums, and hopefully something will come-up . . . .
