HT4864 Server connection problems with ymail. Port 993 timed out. Any advice on fixing problem?

I'm having trouble receiving my ymail emails on my iPad 3. No emails since 12/20/12. Error message says connection server timed out. Does anyone have any assistance to offer to resolve this problem?

Seems to be a problem with AOL, not with your Mac.

I am having 2 big problems with itunes match / icloud - i welcome any advice!

So I finally have all my music itunes match / icloud and for the most part I am satisfied but I have 2 huge glaring problems I can't seem to fix. I emailed Apple and awaiting a reply but not holding out much hope there...
1. Compliation don't work right via itunes match / icloud - I have a few large compilations albums & they display correct on my local itunes library. I have the tags set right, I have normalized the album artists, made sure my genre's are clean, etc. but when I let this match / upload to itunes match / icloud - my compilations are repeated via icloud many times. I have a large compilations called "singles" & it displays perfect on my local itunes. But via icloud it's listed 5 times. I have tripled checked my tags and reset them again and again. No matter what I do, I can't get my compliation abums to show up just a single time in my icloud list.
Th problem is now that I am allowing my iphone and ipad's music to be managed by itunes match / icloud, these compliations are showing up on those devices 3-5 times for each. So my album list is one huge jumble of repeated Albums.
Any advice??
2. Album artwork missing - On my local itunes, I have good album artwork for all albums, but when I let these match and upload via itunes match / icloud, several albums lose their artwork when displaying or downloading to my IOS devices. So I end up with a lot of blank songs / albums. Also very annoying.
So, on the whole I like the itunes match / icloud service, but I really wish I could figure out how to solve these two problems. Any advice?

If you have not already done so, I suggest set an Album Artist of "Various Artists" and make sure the "part of a compilation" option is selected in the metadata for the album. See if that helps the display.

Do a search on the forum. There are already several threads discussing this issue.

Problem with OS X Mail timing out

Hi,
I'm frequently on the move with my awesome MacBook Pro.
In OS X Mail I have SEVERAL mail accounts configured... Like 12.
Sometimes, I have to connect to the Internet with crappy connection.
When this happens, since mails check all the email accounts at once, a lot of them fail.
When I hit the check mail button, it does the same....
So I have to manually resolve them everytime and it *****.
I was wondering if there was an easy fix to this, such as
A) Having Mail check one server at time
B) Being able to tell Mail to check all servers that timeout (that are not connected to use Mail's terminology)
C) Being able to change the timeout delay used by Mail.
THANKS !!!

The connection to the server "X" on port 143 timed out.

My Mac is running MacOS X 10.6.2,
and Mail 4.2 .
I'm using Mail from my work connexion and it is running without problem.
Today I use it from home connexion and Mail doesn't synchronize any of
my E-mail accounts. I get the following error message:<pre>The server returned the error: The connection to the server “imap.free.fr” on port 143 timed out.</pre>
I tested the said server (from a Terminal window):<pre>telnet imap.free.fr 143
Trying 212.27.48.2...
Connected to imap.free.fr.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 X-NETSCAPE LOGIN-REFERRALS AUTH=LOGIN] IMAP4rev1 Free</pre>
and it is replying perfectly correctly.
I also tested my accounts synchronization with Thunderbird (of course
with the same home connexion), and it is working without a trouble.
Hence there isn't any problem with my Mac, my connexion, my imap server,
my account.
But something is deeply corrupted within Mail.
How may I analyze this serious bug (the application is totally unusable)?
How may I turn Mail in a debug mode to provide any kind of trace so as to
make a usable bug report?

This "Mail Connection Doctor" is plainly lying to me.
Hence my original conclusion seems to stand:

Mail Version 2.1 Port 0 timed out

Mail Version: 2.1 (752/752.2)
OS Version: 10.4.7
OS Build: 8J135
Duration of problem: 8 Months
<hr />
Error:
Connection Failed
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "ISPmail" or try again.
The server error encountered was: The connection to the server "mail.host.com" on port 0 timed out.
<hr />
Seetings are correct. The port is 110, it is a POP server. nothing has been modified prior to receiving this error.
Since I have done the following:
Cleared the cache
Deleted the prefs
Recreated the account
And done everything I could find in these forums to fix the problem
Nothing has worked!
I am currently experiencing this on two computers. It appears to be an intermittened problem as Mail will eventually download the e-mail.
I do not have PGP installed. So that is not the problem, I do not have a folder named bundles so that is not the problem. I can login to the mail server using terminal, and through the web.
This problem will somtimes appear on my iMap account I have set up with a different provider.
I beleive that there is some kind of software issue with Mail itself.
Help!
Powerbook G4 15'' (2004) Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I tried everything that you suggested above with the exception of connecting through dial-up. And the error still persisted.
I procrastinated using dial-up because I did not which to interrupt the service of the rest of the family in order to try that route.
The most amazing thing happened just two days ago. There were no updates to the system. Nothing was changed since I disabled all ports except for the ethernet port. But now it works. I am no longer getting the error.
Since I did nothing to cause this to happen I am not going to mark this answered. I also believe that my respite from this error is temporary. I feel that someone needs to find the cause for this error.
However, Apple may have solved this error in the new version of mail in 10.5...

The connection to the server on port 993 times out...

When I attempt to delete mail or move mail to my trash I receive the following error message:
"""The message could not be moved to the mailbox “Trash — iCloud”
the connection to the server :p01-map.mailme.com” on port 993 times out"""
I have never seen this before, anyway to correct it?

Regarding the iPhone (5 in my case) it works relatively well with charter.net IMAP and smtp functions at mobile.charter.well. But does occassionally have sync problems as well.
To fix the problem with my MacBook Pro Mail app, the Apple senior tech could not determine the problem, so he told me to reinstall the app. To do this I had to run the Archive and Install feature of the recovery disk (hold down cmd-r on reboot). Of course this two two hours to complete, as well as run software updates. And it did not fix the sync problem.
So??? This one has me stymied!
Oh, one other input. The email app "Thunderbird" works perfectly with charter.net IMAP and its smtp, syncs every time!

How do I get connected to a server on my network via an IP address? When I try to open in a URL and login as a registered user with proper login it errors out saying there was a problem with connecting to the server?

I am new to Mac...How do I get connected to a server on my network via a hyper link IP address path? When I try to open in a URL and login as a registered user with proper login it errors out saying there was a problem with connecting to the server?

Some of the following is going to use some technical terms — this area is inherently somewhat technical.
If you don't understand some part of the following reply, please ask.
Is this your own OS X Server system on your own network, or is this some other server within some larger organization?
You're posting this in the OS X Server forum, which is a software package that allows OS X systems to provide web-based and many other services; to become servers.
If it's your OS X Server on your network, then the network and DNS configurations are suspect, or the server is somehow malfunctioning or misconfigured. This is unfortunately fairly common, as some folks do try to avoid setting up DNS services.
If it's a larger organization and somebody else is managing the server and the network, then you'll probably need to contact the IT folks for assistance; to learn the network setup and DNS requirements, and if there's a problem with the server itself.
The basic web URL "hyper link IP address path" — without using DNS — usually looks something the following, where you'll need to replace 10.20.30.40 with the IP address of your server:
http://10.20.30.40
UptimeJeff has posted a URL that specifies the AFP file system; an OS X file share. That's used if you're connecting to an Apple storage service somewhere on your network. You might alternatively need to specify smb://10.20.30.40 or such, if it's a Windows file server. (There can be additional requirements for connecting to Windows Server systems, too.)
If there's local IT staff available here, please contact them for assistance. If these are your own local systems and your own local OS X Server system, then some information on the server will be needed. (If you're on a NAT'd network, you'll also need to get DNS services configured and working on your local OS X Server system and your network — you'll not be able to skip this step and reference ISP DNS servers here — or things can and usually will get weird.)

Connection to server on port 25 timed out

Can't send mail. Connection to the server "smtp.ca.astound.net" on port 25 timed out.
I keep getting this error when sending mail. I can receive mail but just can't send.
I noticed this problem sometime after installing the Security Update 2006-005, Security Update 2006-007 and Airport Firmware Update 5.7. I don't know that any of these are the cause but I'm trying to provide as much detail surrounding the problem as I can. I had been receiving and sending mail with no problem for the several years that I've had this set up and now I can't send mail.
I am using a 17" Powerbook running OS 10.3.9 and connecting wirelessly to an Airport Extreme. I'm using Apple Mail as my email software, but I have also tried to send through Entourage with no luck. I am using an email account and SMTP server provided by my ISP. I also have an old iMac running 10.3.5 that is wired directly to the Airport. I have an email account set up on the iMac and can't send from there either.
My ISP (Astound), who handles the cable modem, has said that they haven't made any recent changes on their side and confirmed with me that my account settings are correct. I even deleted my account and rebuilt it with no success. Although I am able to send email through webmail using my ISP's website. Based on that test they say that there aren't any problems on their side.
Are there some settings on the airport that may be affecting this? Any ideas on what I'm missing? I'm baffled.
PowerBook G4 17in, 1GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
Also, try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc., and see whether that makes a difference.
It could very well be that the problems are related to having installed a system update, usually not because of the update itself, but rather as a result of not having installed it properly, or having ignored Apple’s "Important: Please read before installing" warnings, etc.
Some (but not all) of the problems caused by not having installed an update properly can be fixed by (properly) reinstalling it. If you suspect a particular update could have a bearing on this, proceed as follows.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, reinstall any updates that may not have been installed properly. In some cases, it may also be necessary or convenient to reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with your computer:
Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combo Update
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

The server returned the error: The connection to the server on port 143 timed out.

Hello,
I recently got a MacBook Pro which cam ewith Mavericks. I have entered the email addresses I use the most, they are a combination of Gmail and personal ones that are set up with two different hosting companies. After a random amount of time which may be 5 minutes after opening Mail up to 8 or 9 hours the mailboxes start giving the error 'The server returned the error: The connection to the server xxxx.xxxx on port 143 timed out.' where xxxx.xxxx is the IMAP incoming mail server, the port is 993 for the Gmail accounts. Once it happens for one the others soon follow. The same accounts on my Mac Pro still work correctly at the same time. Anyone have any ideas?
Edit: I have run the Connection Doctor and while it can connect to each of the SMTP servers it cannot connect to any of the IMAP ones. A restart of Mail will cure this temporarily.

Can't sent mail. connection to server on port 25 timed out.

Can't send mail. Connection to the server on port 25 timed out. I keep getting this error when sending mail. I can receive mail but just can't send.
When I connect directly to the cable modem, thus removing the Airport from the set up, the mail sends fine. I recently updated the Airport with firmware update 5.7 and I'm wondering if there are some settings on the airport that may be affecting this? Any ideas on what I'm missing? I'm baffled.
I am using a 17" Powerbook running OS 10.3.9 and connecting wirelessly to an Airport Extreme. I'm using Apple Mail as my email software, but I have also tried to send through Entourage with no luck. I am using an email account and SMTP server provided by my ISP. I also have an old iMac running 10.3.5 that is wired directly to the Airport. I have an email account set up on the iMac and can't send from there either.

I tried changing the MTU on the iMac which is wired directly to the airport.(I have an old iMac running 10.3.5 and a Powerbook G4- the G4 connects wirelessly to the airport) I changed it to 1492 but didn't still wasn't able to send mail. I feel like I'm stabbing in the dark with this, is there a way to determine what the packet size should be?
MTU will vary with connection type. Cable and non-PPPoE, can use up to 1500, whereas PPPoE connections (WinPoet, RASPPPOE, Enternet, etc.) can only use up to 1492. For secure VPN connections (i.e., IPSec) use a MTU value less than 1500.
The best value for MTU is that value just before the packets get fragmented. To test, use the Ping utility.
OS X: ping -D -s 1472 www.dslreports.com
WinXP: ping -f -l 1472 www.dslreports.com
Reduce 1472 by 10 until you no longer get the “packet needs to be fragmented” error message. Then increase by 1 until you are 1 less from getting the same error message. Add 28 more to this (since your ping packet size, not including IP/ICMP header is 28 bytes). This will be your MaxMTU. (Note: If you can ping thru at 1472, stop, you’re done! Add 28 and your MaxMTU is 1500.)
Some typical MTU values:
1500: The biggest sized IP packet that can normally traverse the Internet without getting fragmented. Typical MTU for non PPPoE, non VPN connections.
1492: The MaxMTU recommended for Internet PPPoE implementations.
1472: The maximum ping data payload before fragmentation errors are received on non-PPPoE, non-VPN connections.
1464: The maximum ping data payload before fragmentation errors are received when using PPPoE connected machine.
1460: TCP Data size (MSS) when MTU is 1500 and not using PPPoE.
1452: TCP Data size (MSS) when MTU is 1492 and using PPPoE.
1400: MaxMTU for PPTP Tunneling VPN (Win2K/WinXP).
576: Typically recommended as the MTU for dialup type applications...leaving 536 bytes of TCP data.

HT4623 I keep getting an error message "cannot connect to the internet." Is this a problem with my internet provider, or has anyone else had this problem.

I keep getting an error message "cannot connect to the internet." Is this a problem with my internet provider, or has anyone else had this problem.

I get that problem once in a while and I will not be able to connect to the Internet with any of the 5 or 6 (or 7 or 8 ) web browsers that I use on my iPad. The one thing that I do that has never failed to work for me is to close all apps on my iPad and reset the device. I can't guarantee that it will work for you, but this works for me every time I get the server failed to load/can't connect to the Internet message.... Or whatever the exact message is.
If you have a ton of apps in the multitasking display, it can take a while to close them all, so you could just trey resetting the iPad first and that might be all that you need to do.
Closing apps in iOS 7 works like this. Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
