I can't receive my incoming mail. ESP is yahoo. Error msg says unable to connect with POP server. Any solution?
I can't receive my incoming mail in Mac Mail. ESP is yahoo. Error msg says unable to connect with POP server. Any solution? I am able to get my incoming messages via yahoo website but not through the Mail app.
Try this, if it is not the correct department, ask them for the number or to be transfered..
Call 1-800-318-0612 for Login Help
Also on most autmated systems, if you hit 00000, or ##### you can sometimes get thru to a person.
Is Yahoo your Internet provider? Do you have a local provider? ei:AT&T, SBC, cable co, check who you make your check or epatment to...etc, If so I would start there, but if no joy go to the "Mothership"
I may be wrong about this, (it's been a long time now) I may have deleted my mail account from Mail (after writing down all the info from all General/accounts, and the rest of the tabs, and then added a new account using my existing email address, and it may have "walked me thru the rest of the proceedure".
But like I said it was a long time ago 3-4 years, but that may have been the path I ended up taking, make sure to write all the info down in case you need to re-enter it all manually. Then try calling them.
All the best

I have a ipad mini and i have had it for less then a year, it says that i have perfect wifi up in the left corner where the wifi is always at but when ever i go into the built in safari it says that it is unable to connect with the server. How can i fix this because with out it connecting to the server or internet it is kind of useless to me. I do have ios7 if that helps
The wifi symbol only indicates the presence/signal strength of wifi. Not that you are connected.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Can't log in to Lion Server. Open Directory Log Message says: unable to connect to password server
I am setting up Lion Server. I can't log in to Lion Server from client.
Checking the Open Directory Log: says: "unable to connect to password server" or
"3394.14268, Node: /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1, Module: AppleODClient - unable to read Password Server response - connection to Password Server was closed, socket fd 18 (5205)"
Thanks for help with this.I never discovered the problem, and instead rebuilt the server from the ground up. I followed instructions at this discussion thread. Very helpful.
How To Install A (Almost) Working Lion Server With Profile Management/SSL/OD/Mail/iCal/Address Book/VNC/Web/etc.
I have had some log-in problems with users. I have found that restarting the server helps. If this doesn't work, I rebuild permissions on the server, followed by opening up Workgroup Manager, go to the user's password, click on options and require that the user change password on the next log-in. For some reason, this will usually fix the problem. I then log in as the user, and "change" the password to the original one. Also note, that if you import a user, the password is not brought in. You must enter it for each user that you imported. Even so, I have often had to resort to the re-set password procedure to enable a log-in. -
Mail 1.3.11 (Panther) not connecting with POP server
I can send mail, no problems. However, to receive my mail I have visit my ISP's website to read it there. Apparently, Mail.app is not dating the incoming mail server which is leaving me with an empty mailbox.
I have gone over all the setting with my ISP so many times the support team recognizes my voice everytime I call. I have seen exotic fixes having to do with [~/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist] and such, but I'm reluctant to go messing around in there. How does one fix my problem without a Ph.D?
G3 iBook dual USB 600 Mac OS X (10.3.9)I don't understand your obsession with overstuffed mailboxes.
What are you talking about? As I told you in a previous post, Mail sometimes chokes on a message it cannot download and that prevents it from downloading the rest as well. This is a relatively common problem. It has absolutely nothing to do with overstuffed mailboxes.
The two servers are failing to connect.
This is wrong! And which two servers are you talking about? According to the activity information you reported, Mail is connecting to the POP server, but failing to download the messages it sees there for some reason...
If you want to mess with the contents of your ~/Library/Mail/ folder (which you said in your first post you didn’t want to do), there are a couple of things you may try as well.
For POP accounts, Mail uses a file within the account folder to keep track of which messages have already been downloaded. Deleting that file causes Mail to treat everything still on the server as if new and try to download it again:
1. Quit Mail.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/.
3. Locate one or two files named MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded and move them to the Trash. Mail 1.x used MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded to keep track of which messages had already been downloaded. Mail 2.x uses MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 for the same purpose.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder. -
i have just switched from a PC and installing my googlemail account onto my Macbook pro. I can successfully see my calendar and contacts but my mail will not connect. i get an error message - can not connect to the server. Any ideas please?
Neil,
I don't use Apple's Mail client (I use MS Outlook) but setting up your Gmail account should be fairly straightforward. Just make certain that you have your settings correct.
For your incoming server, be sure to use the "map.gmail.com" server, using SSL, using port "993" (usually the default).
For your outgoing server, be sure to use the "smtp.gmail.com" server, override the default port and use port "465" and use SSL to connect and make sure that you enter your email address and password to access the SMTP server.
If you've already set up your account with these settings, you may need to Google "gmail setup apple mail" and find the Google document relating to same.
Good luck,
Clinton

Mail continually loses connection with POP server
I have Apple Mail configured to check two different POP accounts and one GMAIL account. On one of the two POP accounts, and on the GMAIL account, there is generally no problem. But for the other POP account, Mail continually loses the connection, such that often when I check Mail a popup box says:
"Unable to Receive Mail
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “Ceccam” or try again.
The server returned the error: The server “mail.ceccam.org.mx” cannot be contacted on port 110."
If I open the connection doctor, it shows no connection with "Ceccam." Clicking "check again" does not help.
The only thing that works, is to close and then re-open Mail, after which it successfully connects to "Ceccam" and manages to check the mail there several times, before losing the connection again, after which I need to close and re-open Mail again. This is driving me crazy.
I have both of my POP accounts configured the same way in Mail. So why does Mail continually lose the connection to one of them, and never lose the connection to the other?
Can anybody suggest how to solve this?
Thank you.
PS This problem only cropped up after I upgraded to Mavericks.The saga continues... my patience is getting very thin. I've spent hours trying to get this to work and am now naming the companies involved.
I since the issue might be due to the SIM card, I went to an Orange (the service provider) in question to get a new SIM. They gave me a new one in 5 minutes. On putting in the phone, all appeared to work for a while (I could makeand receive calls), then the phone reported "Invalid SIM". It found the network again on a reboot, then a short while later the message Invalid SIM appeared again.
A call to Orange said that the card had not been fully initialised. So I turn off the phone, Orange make some kind of tweak on their side, and tell me to turn on the phone again. It finds the network - but not for long, a couple of hours later, it reports "Invalid SIM" again.
Another call to Orange, who tell me the phone may be defective, it cannot reliably read the SIM card. Normally they would replace the phone, but since I bought it from the The Phone House, it's not their responsibility. So the phone house directs me to Orange, and Orange directs me to an Apple store.
Apple - you are my last hope. -

Mail unable to connect with outgoing server...
Hi everyone!!
I've been having a problem with mail for the past week and i can receive but cannot send any mail.
Checking the connection doctor there's a message saying it "couldn't connect to the SMTP server" although i have the passwords set correctly on the account prefs.
What seems weird is that last week when i had the same problem, i reset the router and it was fixed, unfortunately it won't work now.
Any ideas please?I've got exactly the same problem. My mail was working fine a couple of days ago. Now it won;t send mails. Not settings have changed. What could be the cause and how do I sort it? Anyone? Could you mail your reply to [email protected] as I'm about to travel for a while and will only pick up mails on i phone. thanks

I can't find my 'incoming mail server' menu/buttons on my iTouch 4g
I mean from Home > Settings > iCloud > Account > Advanced Mail I can see where my Outgoing Mail Server is but I can't find my incoming mail server. My Mail does not work (it can only send emails, and cannot receive emails) and I think it's because I don't have an incoming mail server menu/button(s)?
No. That is not the reason. I do not have any information/button for an incoming server and it works fine.I would delete the account on the iPod and then recreate it.

All of a sudden can't receive email on Mail client. Sessions with service provider (att/yahoo) and Apple have yielded no results! Recently upgraded to Lion, but have received email since. Anyone having the same problem. Apple says service provider problem, service provider say it's the mail client. Anyone had this problem???
No. My frustration with the problem just led me to begin the process convert all my email to a gmail client. However, after some time all my mail with att/yahoo has been coming through as before. Go figure. Still will convert to gmail.

I can't receive security info mail
I can't receive security info mail from appleid. I have tried many times, but still failed ( I have checked my gmail for 10 times at least...).
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
