  • TS4002 Unable to write anything into the incoming mail server space.

    Suddenly I was unable to recive or send incoming mail.
    Unable to enter anaything into the incoming mail server space.
    Internet is working....just not email.

    Could I ask you to amend your signature - you can see why it's a good idea.
    The first step for you would be to sign out in System Preferences>iCloud then sign back in again, enabling Mail and any other data types in the checklist there. This should set up Mail automatically for you - you shouldn't need to enter any settings yourself.
    Your data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out, but will reappear when you sign back in.

  • How can the incoming mail section on an iphone5 disappear? I can send messages but cannot receive them. Shouldn't there be an incoming section like the outgoing mail server section?

    I Haven't received incoming email for nearly a week now.  I have checked the settings and the only thing that isn't there is the INCOMING MAIL SERVER section.  The outgoing mail server is there and is correct.  How can I get it back so that I can enter the mail server?

    Hi Olivier,
    Thanks very much for that. it worked on my powerbook(running Tiger). I went to the link and followed the instructions and it worked. Did i mention that my dad who has a iMac running Leopard now has the same problem. I thought i would just do the same but the Preference in Mail for Leopard is of course different. There is no icon called "Server Settings" under Accounts section like there is on mine. Do you have a link for the same kind of instructions for Leopard?
    Thanks again,
    Bryce

    Good question - and one that a lot of (business) people would like solved!
    Your question prompted me to do some research, and I found this workaround posted by Scott Grossberg:
    His solution actually addresses a second problem too - how to attach a document when replying to an email message. In your case you may not need to consider the "reply" aspect - but if not right now, it'll come in useful someday!
    I've pasted it verbatim - if it works for you (it does for me) then all credit goes to Scott for solving the problem. There's just one thing I'd add to his solution: you will probably want to rename the message, as by default Goodreader gives it the Subject line: Mail with GoodReader attachments.
    THE GOODREADER OPTION
    1.  CREATE the document you want to send.
    2.  SAVE it to GoodReader (this will require you to buy and install the app).
    3.  Go to your email and OPEN the email thread to which you want to Reply and attach your file.
    4.  COMPOSE your Reply.
    5.  DOUBLE TAP the message.
    6.  TAP SELECT ALL. This will copy the entire email thread.
    7.  OPEN GOODREADER on the iPad and go to the file you want to send as part of your Reply.
    8.  At the bottom of the GoodReader screen you will see an EXPORT icon (it looks like a rectangle with an arrow pointing to the right).
    9.  TAP the Export button.
    10.  TAP EMAIL FILE. Depending on your needs, tap either SEND FILE “AS IS” or “FLATTEN ANNOTATIONS.” This will open a compose message screen with the chosen document already attached.
    11.  TAP in the body of the email screen. TAP PASTE. This will place your composed Reply and the prior email thread into the message.
    12.  ENTER the Recipients’ names in the TO: field of your message.
    13.  SEND your email Reply.
    The modified version (= when composing a new message rather than a reply):
    1 Make sure that the doc you want to attach is saved in GoodReader
    2 In the message you are composing, double tap, select all, and then copy.
    3 Open GoodReader and select the file you want to attach
    4 Select the export button at the bottom of screen
    5 Select e-mail file
    6 Position cursor in body of the email message, tap and paste. You may want to delete the "sent from GoodReader" text that precedes the attachment.
    7 Rename your message (as by default it will be Mail with GoodReader attachments)
    8 Add the recipient's address in the To field.
    Hope this helps! All thanks to Scott for this workaround.

  • HT2480 In the server domain; Do I use the smtp server OR the incoming mail server?

    I am trying to verify my business mail on my iphone and I have several troubles thus I would like to ask for you help:
    1) its a "webmail.ath.hcmr.gr" mail, so it is a "Microsoft Exchange" mail type? Correct?
    2) in the server field: what do i add? The incoming mail server or the smtp server?
    Thanks

  • How do I populate the "incoming mail server" field in mail.

    My icloud account is not able to send or recieve emails. Other accounts are. When checking preferences I see the Incoming mail server field is empty and I can not populate it. How can I get round/fix
    this, please?

    Your iCloud email account is automatically set up when you check Mail in System Preferences.
    Go to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Mail, restart your Mac, then go back and check Mail again.  This will remove, then automatically set up your iCloud email account again with the proper settings.

  • HT4864 How do I construct the preferences in mail for the incoming mail server?

    I need help in setting up the preferences for mail, especially for the servers.  I followed setting up an account and
    when I encountered the incoming mail server box, it didn't allow keying anything into it.  It is blocked; and with the outgoing server, the choices aren't
    clear.
    Then when I try using mail,  it won't let me send or receive mail saying I can't leave the incoming box empty or that it can't contactr the outgoing server`so I should see iCloud preferences.

    Not unless you know which file in the app sets the choices. I've been through it pretty thoroughly and can't find the one.

    When trying to update my Mail Account Mailbox Behaviours settings, after making the changes when I try to close the settings pane the following messages occur: Invalid Incoming Mail Server The “Incoming Mail Server” field cannot be empty. The incoming mail server box has in light grey colour: p02-imap.mail.me.com in it and I cannot edit its content. Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it?

    Hi all,
    Mattreichenbach is probably on the right track here with a reset of settings.  I think I've determined the issue has to do with cached account information and inconsistencies for the account name.  This seems to crop up when I've changed my password and it hasn't propagated fully to all the servers, devices, certificates, etc.
    Hopefully many here are on their way to restoration of service by now but it's clear that a lot of people are having the same issues.  Very frustrating and definitely something Apple needs to resolve:  incoming mail server field grayed out, incorrect autopopulation of different fields, other unanticipated behaviors.  If you're still having issues, though, here's what worked for me...
    First, head to the iCloud preferences pane in System Configuration and choose "Sign Out".  When I did this it prompted me with a number of "are you sure" type questions about retaining information on my local machine.  I chose to delete/remove the info each time simply because it should all be restored by the cloud and I didn't want to risk a massive duplication of my data... I will say, I'm back up and running with no issues so I suspect you can make the same delete/remove choices...  But use your own judgment.  I don't want you to lose any data (ie.. please use care as you do this because I cannot bear the thought of causing anyone to experience the pain of data loss).
    Once you've signed out of iCloud, restart your system.  When you get back in, head to the Mail, Contacts and Calendars section of your System Preferences and add your account back by choosing the brushed aluminum "iCloud" button.  When it asks for your account name, use your @iCloud.com email address.  I am all but certain my issue had started because one of my devices (iPhone or whatever) had been set up with an email alias specified instead of my @iCloud.com address.
    Apple, if you're reading through any of these issues (there are TONS of users having this same problem).  Take note, that your icloud service somewhat frequently is not responding and yet tells the user that the password is wrong and this prompts people to be changing their passwords unnecessarily.  This has happened to me on numerous occasions.  Also, I noticed that last week's outage corresponded to a VERY similar outage exactly one year ago to the day.  Sounds like planned maintenance to me and I think you could do a better job notifying folks so we're not wasting HUGE amounts of time troubleshooting a problem that we have no hope of fixing.
    Hope that helps some of you!

  • What do i put in the Incoming Mail Server...?

    I have Road Runner and I dont know what to put in the Incoming Mail Server box...any ideas...?

    Contact RoadRunner or check it's help web site for the server addresses. There should be a POP server and an SMTP server for POP mail. For IMAP mail (I don't know if they support this format) there will be an incoming mail and outgoing mail server (the outgoing mail server is usually the same as the SMTP server.)

  • Will MX record work for the incoming mail flow and external mail flow.

    Hello All,
        I have created 2 machines with windows 2008 R2 workgroup and  installed Forefront TMG 2010 
        I am using the VIP for the external adapter for the NLB and going to connect it through the MX record will it work for the incoming mail flow to the Exchange 2010 and external mail flow.
        Is that right what i am doing please suggest. Thanks in Advance!

    Hi,
    Based on my experience, the MX record contains the fully qualified domain name of the messaging server that’s responsible for accepting messages for the domain.
    Do you want to configure the TMG server as a secure SMTP relay server? Did you mean that the external DNS server point to TMG’s external IP for the MX rcord and the internal Exchange server is using TMG’s internal IP address as the default gateway? Did you
    install any exchange role on the TMG server?
    I am sorry to say that I am not quite sure of your deployment, I would appreciate it if you can share your network topology and configuration.
    Best regards,
    Susie

  • Hi, I have private emails in IPAD2, i have chaged the incoming mail server name and saved the change.

    Hi, I have private emails in IPAD2, i have chaged the incoming mail server name and saved the change.
    but, when I back to read my old emails in inbox it's gone away, I have backed to setting and return the previous
    incoming mail name, but also I did't get the old emails. where I can find the old emails in my IPAD2 ?

    It is only the link to your emails which are 'stored' on your iPad. You will have to enter all proper email addresses to get the message associated with them, which, in practice,  means multiple accounts. If all still does not work try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release].

  • HT5361 What is the incoming mail server when setting up a apple email address?

    When setting up a new email account the field for the incoming mail server is greyed out.  How do I add the info?

    It should load that automatically. It varies.
    It will be some variant of imap.mail.me.com. That may get it to look up the correct one.

  • HT4864 the incoming mail server field is blank and will not let me type in the information. I can type in other fields but this blank field will not allow it.

    In account information the incoming mail server field is blank but when I try to type it in it does not allow me to.
    Whats do I do?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You do not need to start adding manual information into your iCloud account settings. If you feel the settings are incorrect for any reason, you should delete your account and add it back and let it set itself up.
