HT3258 OS/X 10.6.8 Mail account now fails to sync to Mobile Me email

Some time this month, my iMac running OS/X 10.6.8 stopped syncing to my Mobile Me email account. I know that Apple was planning on cutting off ME but why did OS Mail stop working? WHat

If you are on a user account, get someone with administrator access to whitelist this websight:
https://s3.amazonaws.com
You would do this by going to:
System Settings> Parental Controls>
click the padlock to unlock this area (this is where administrator log in is required)
Click the user account that you wish to whitelist and then sellect the "web" tab
Here you might see a selected area like; "Try to limit access to adult websites automatically" and a "customize" button under it, or "Allow access to only these websites".
You can do two things from here, convince the admin you are an adult and ask they select "Allow unrestricted access to websites", or ask them to add the above website to the whitelist.
The white list under "Try to limit access to adult websites automatically" is found by clicking the "customize" button. Hit the "+" button under the top half section and paste the website I've provided there.
The white list under "Allow access to only these websites" is obviousely directly under it and you must click the "+" and then add the website I've provided there.

How do I link my wife's Live Mail account through Outlook to sync with new Iphone?

I have a MacBook Pro running Lion. My wife has an Live Mail Account she mainly accesses via Outlook for Mac. She's about to buy an Iphone - how do I sync her mail and contacts?

settings>mail, contacts, calendars>add account
that should take you through the steps of getting it set up to sync, as far as adding servers and such. When it's set up on the phone, she'll have the option to turn contacts on to merge them with the phone

Duplicate mail accounts after converting to icloud from mobile me

Anyone else having problems with their iPhone 4s after converting from mobile me to iCloud?
I did the conversion and everythign works, except I cannot get my old mobile me mail account to go away on my iPhone.
I've deleted it from the accounts section of settings, but I still have an old mobile me mailbox that is showing the exact same thing as my iCloud mailbox.
It's like a mirror mail account that won't go away!
I just did a complete factory reset and updated to iOS 5, but it's still showing up.

Many thanks for the suggestion, I copied the messages in the iCloud mailboxes to new boxes "On My Mac".
As suggested here I then unchecked the "Mail and Notes" item in the iCloud pane in System Prefs on the iMac, iCloud then disappeared from my mailboxes. I then unchecked the "Enable this Account' box in Mail Prefs for the Mobiel Me a/c.
After checking the "Mail and Notes" item in the iCloud pane in System Prefs the iCloud boxes reappeared in Mail. I then deleted the Mobile Me a/c in Mail.
Seems a bit of a rigmarole! but it worked!

I have a POP mail account on my Ipad. After I trash emails, they sometimes reappear latter that same day or the next day. Why is that and what can I do?

I have a POP mail account on my ipad. When I trash my emails, they reappear later that day or the next day. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and what to do to stop it? Thanks

I have that every now and then, especially if I have an interruption when using emails, like network loss, etc.
I think the email app loses track somehow of what emails it has fetched from the server and redownloads them.
If this continues, you can try deleting the email account and recreating it, but I occasionally have had this issue since I got the iPad 1 a year ago.
Note: My settings are Delete from server = Never.
(I clear the server's email with my laptop, not my iPad.)

After reinstalling Lion, iTunes does not show my IMAP mail-accounts in iTunes for sync. How can i fix this?

i did a clean install of Lion. Than i copied my iTunes Library back from a backup. I configured all my email accounts in Mail. Than i wanted to sync my iPhone. I reconnected it to my iTunes Account and everything was correctly synced, but the email accounts. they do not show up in itunes. On the info-tab of the connected iPhone the part for the email-accounts stays empty. iCal and Adressbook are working fine. What the heck is going wrong?
And please don't tell me to configure the email-accounts manually in the iPhone. I know that this is a workaround, but it is not the solution for the problem.
Thanks for helping me out!

He needs to add your Apple ID in settings > mail, contacts, calendars (as a secondary iCloud account), then check contacts and calendars from the options available.
Note, he would be able to enable mail, reminders etc as well at will. should he wish to do so. If you are OK with that, it should all work as you want it to.

ITunes cannot sync mail accounts because Iphone cancels sync?

I get the above message when I try to sync my iPhone with my iMac. Does anyone know a fix?

Usually when itunes cancels a sync, something itunes was trying to sync is corrupted.
When you sync the iphone to you imac, try syncing one category at a time to see what is canceling the sync.
First, sync just music and nothing else.
Then if music sync, try movies or video.
Keep going through the tabs adding on one thing at a time until you get the error message.
When you get the error message, you know that something in that last category is corrupted.
Hope this helps.

Mobile account folders failing to sync

Hello All,
Having a strange problem with syncing mobile folders on our Mac clients.
We are running an OSX server with Mountain Lion that has open directory on it and this essentially just validates with our Windows domain controller that is using active directory. All of our Mac clients are running Snow Leopard and everything seems to be operating swimmingly except for one issue…
We have mobile accounts set up, so that users can gain access to their Windows based ‘my documents’, ‘my music’ and ‘my pictures’ folders. Everything seems to sync fine except that sometimes when users try to log off, or try to sync their data manually, the process fails. It will either claim that username/password details could not be validated then hang, or it will say that the user’s password has expired and lock them out of their accounts (which we then need to unlock in Active Directory).
After checking the logs on the client machines there are a couple of noteworthy errors:
SMB_Mount – Mount failed to SMB://Storageserver.co.uk/staff$ - syserr = Authentication error
And
SMB_Mount – Mount failed to SMB://Storageserver.co.uk/staff$ - syserr = Unknown Error -5999
It seems to be very random and inconsistent as users can go a week or so without the problem occurring, and then have it happen twice in an hour. Has anyone experienced any issues with mobile accounts syncing?

Deleting e-mails on iPhone does not sync? (mobile me)

Does anyone else have this problem, when I delete e-mails from my iPhone, those e-mails will remain on the cloud and come back the next time it retrieves.
Is there a setting I'm missing? If I log into me.com and delete it from there, it will sync with the iPhone and the e-mail will be gone forever, so why not the other way around?

I think it is supposed to, it doesn't make any sense to limit it just to calendars and contacts.
When I delete on the iPhone, it goes to the trash can, and that also updates on the cloud when I log into me.com. But for some reason, it still retains a copy of it in the inbox, effectively ignoring the delete on the iPhone.
So I end up with 2 copies of the e-mail, the original one in the inbox, and one in the trash can. It seems to copy it there rather than move/delete it.
There's definitely something wrong with mobile me IMO. I hope it gets fixed real soon.

GAH! How Can I Set Up My Mail Accounts?

I have 15 email accounts in total, each with it's own unique 64 character password. Manually setting up email accounts on my devices is clearly not an option. No worries, because up until today, I simply synced my mail account data from iTunes. You only have to do it once, you don't need any sort of on-going email account data syncing. The accounts keep their own mail in sync, so the 'setup sync' was a one time deal. And I didn't sync the accounts with mobile me, or later icloud, because I wanted different accounts on differnet devices.
Well I just got my new iPhone 5S and I'm trying to set up my mail. But I can't! There's no way to sync Mail data! I tried turning on iCloud Keychain (which was a complete disaster the first time I tried to use it, but I need my email!) I tried deleteing my iCloud account and re-adding it on my phone (and my old phone that I erased, and re-setting up as an iPod). But no matter what I do, I can't get any mail accounts to show up.
I NEED my email on my phone. There is no way around it, I cannot function without that. I don't even put my phone number on my business cards any more, only email. Email HAS TO WORK. But thanks to Apple, I can't get it on there.
It would seem that my only option is to get it to sync via iCloud Keychain? That's going to cause me an unlimited amount of headaches, but if that's the only way to get mail accounts to sync, then I guess that's what I have to do. But how do I do it? I have turned on iCloud Keychain on all of my devices and computers, but no mail accounts are syncing.
All my Macs are currnetly on Mavericks, and all my devices (iPad mini, iPhone 4S deactivated, iPhone 5s) are on iOS 7.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
This type of service is offered by IMAP email accounts such as the me address that is associated with your iCloud account.
Are you saying it isn't working or are you trying to add a third party address (ie gmail, yahoo etc etc) to your mail account and expecting it to work like an IMAP account.

Secondary e-mail account doesn't work

I noticed today that my Secondary e-mail account wasn't working. My mobile Me account works. The other account has lost its draft, send, trash icons. When you try to check mail on that account the phone reverts to the home screen. I have synced, restored, deleted the secondary account and created a new one. The messages can be received/sent but not viewed. That account on my mac works great. During the restore process it notifies me that there is a file missing but doesn't say which one.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Create your MobileMe account on your iPhone and turn Contacts and Calendars on for over the air syncing with your MobileMe account settings on your iPhone. If you have a MobileMe account and are syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with your MM account on your iPhone, you don't need to sync contacts and calendar events direct with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac via the iTunes sync process.
Try syncing iTunes content including the music, video, podcasts, and 3rd party apps you want transferred/installed on your iPhone, but don't select anything under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences.
If no problems with this, try selecting the single iPhoto album you want transferred to your iPhone under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences. If the same error message is provided, this narrows it down to transferring photos only which means there is a problem with what is called the iPod Photo Cache, which can be deleted from iPhoto.

Can't delete or edit an old e-mail account

I just upgraded my iPhone from 1.1.4 to 2.0 and I had an old (inactive) e-mail account in on my phone. Now I can't remove it, edit it or do anything with it, it's just there. And when I try to open the Mail application it just hangs for 5 seconds and then closes it self.
I even tried using iTunes to remove the e-mail account by doing a sync with Mail Accounts in iTunes but then iTunes comes up with an error: "iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone "My iPhone" because the mail accounts are in use by the iPhone."
Is this possibly a glitch in the software upgrade? Does some one know how I can fix this?

Did you ever find a fix for this? Mine is doing exactly the same thing, even with 2.01 - I hoped that might fix it. I'd rather not have to reset and erase the whole phone.

Can't delete mail account in Leopard

Trying to help my mom out and got things a little twisted up.
She was having mail issues (passwords etc) so rather then messing with all the random settings I decided to delete the account and then re-enter it so it auto-fills everything. Only problem was that when I hit the delete button it removed the account and all the stuff from the inbox etc but then popped up a messages saying something like "are you sure you want to do this as deleting everything will be lost". Something along those lines. I wasn't sure what it was talking about so I hit cancel to stop it.
Now it seems to be gripping onto that mail account half way. I can close the email program and reopen and then account shows up again in the list of accounts. If I remove it (no messages pop up) then it disappears and about 10 seconds later I get a popup message saying that the mail accounts password is wrong? Though there is no accounts listed and I've even deleted all the passwords from keychain etc. If I enter a password it does nothing (I know I have the right password).
Then, if I close mail and reopen the account is listed in the preferences again automaticly? I keep deleting it but it keeps popping back in but with no emails etc and a bunch of password etc popups bugging me. I can't seem to ADD the account again either as it just comes up with an error I think because that account is halfway in the mail app somehow.
Is there anyway to manually remove any trace of this account from the mail app or something so that I can re-add it fresh?
Thanks!

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If saving the old Mails is important...
On Mail...
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
