I cannot get my mail accounts to work in Leopard,except my 60 day trial .ma

I have checked with my ISP and all my settings are correct for them, but nothing will send or receive in Leopard, though they work just fine on my G4 running Tiger. I am about to delete them all and start over. Sometimes even the .mac doesnt work...any ideas?

Ok, I briefly saw a post following mine saying that my assertion was hilarious, and if I felt that OSX 10.5 were such a lemon I should call the powers that be and lambaste them. For those who say you cannot send from a different server while showing the initial email address, e.g. [email protected] sending...then failing, then being asked if I would like to send from smtp.mac.com: [email protected], I would ask you to look at the general tab on email preferences which offers a pull down with the heading "If outgoing server is unavailable: 2 choices; Show a List of Alternate Servers or Automatically try sending later. I have done this, and the maio has ahown up on my other computer under the original address I sent from. I am sorry if I am a buffoon for noting this, but it has happened in testing 5 times today.
I dont know what happened to the post I referred to at the beginning, it was there, then when I hit reply it disappeared, perhaps it will reappear...as the Police would put it, its a Ghost in the Machine.
No offense to anyone, but I have been an Apple user since our high school got 2 Apple II's in 1981-82, so Im not a Mac vs PC guy bandwagon jumper. Prior to my disability I had been a Graphic Designer for over 20 years, and I was certified prior to OSX. I have a total of 5 macs from and 840 AV, an 8500, an Aqua (I guess) G3, an old Graphite G4 500mhz as armed to the teeth as can be, and of course my 1.66 duo Mini, heck I have an Ipod Nano....I have my Apple chops, I was just hoping there had been a similar experience to bounce the question off of (not wishing mail probs for anyone) before calling My Apple.
Thanks for the responses, both helpful and funny

  • Cannot get exchange mail account to work

    I am a very persistent person. I don't give up easily. But I just can't get my exchange account to work on iphone. After trying way too many times, I've tried to get it set it up on the Apple Mail program so that I can then sync the mail account to the iphone through itunes. I've only been able to get the incoming mail working on Mail. I've tried so many different permutations and combinations, but I cannot get the outgoing mail to work.
    I know that imap is set up. And I can access my mail account through Entourage... perfectly.
    Why can't I get it to work on Mail???? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated? Any settings to check on the exchange server so that I can get it to set up properly. Please. I am about at my wit's end. And I won't give up!!!!
    Thank you!

    JeremyLogan,
    Here are some settings that you need to make sure are enabled on your Exchange server:

  • I cannot get my juno account to work on the ipad

    i cannot get my juno account to work on the ipad

    Hi Cantonvase.
    I am going to asume that you have a MBP 13" Mid 2012 as you have in your profile.
    First check if you computer is updateing the spotlight.  Second. Make sure the Icloud acount is activated. (using your apple id and password). Once that is working, and all of these are made, repair permitions and wait be sure all programs are close. Reset the computer.
    Once that is done. Go to system preferences, Select Security and Privacy. Then select privacy and see if maps is seleccted in location services. In order to change that unlock the lock and add the password fom you computer.
    If that is check, we can see what we can do next.  Also make sure that diagnostic & usage is selected, so all these info be send to apple for making these better. 
    One step at a time. 
    I work 2 instalacion. One clean install and 1 upgrade. The clean isntall has being perfect so far. I only find 2 errors so far and i am working on those right now.

  • Getting my mail account to work

    Hi,
    I am trying to get my mail to work on my phone! I have had my iphone since October and am finally frustrated enough that i am asking for help since i can not figure it out myself! It says that the connection to the server has failed. Any ideas as to what i should do?

    What doesn't work? If you're trying to use the cwmx.com for the smtp server it will only work while on the at&t edge network, no ssl. If you try to use cwmx.com smtp server while on wifi it will not work. Your isp's smtp server should work on wifi and the edge smtp server will work on edge only. If you have an isp that only allows their smtp server on their network then you end up in ther situation I am in. I can only send email on the iphone when on edge since I use their smtp server, if I'm on wifi I turn wifi off for a moment, then send. Try it again, it should work.

  • Cannot get SSH thru DynDNS to work with Leopard

    Hi everyone,
    OK, I have been digging around online for a long time trying to find a clear answer to my problem, and I can't find it anywhere so I figured I would just start a new thread and see if I could get some help.
    I have an iMac connected wirelessly to an Airport Express which is plugged into my cable modem. I would like to be able to SSH into my iMac remotely. I have an account with DynDNS and have installed their daemon program, which detects my external IP fine. With Tiger, SSH and DynDNS worked great -- I regularly used SSH to sync up my school documents. However, with Leopard, I absolutely cannot get it to work. If I ping my DynDNS name or my IP address, it responds, but I cannot portscan my machine or access it in any way. Back To My Work works fine (when it works at all), but I want a solution that will always work with any machine.
    I am not a newbie and know a lot about OS X, but I am not very familiar with networking lingo and have been largely confused by the information I have found online about similar problems. If you have figured out a solution to this problem and can give me a clear explanation, I would love it. I seem to have read somewhere that this required me to set a static IP for my iMac from the Airport, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do that without breaking my internet connection.
    Thanks!
    Alex

    All my macs at home and in my office are running leopard. I have no problem with SSH logins from outside my network using a Dyndns name.
    From the mac that your using to engage the ssh connection use the host command in your terminal app to see if the dyndns name is resolving to the correct IP of your server.
    host dydns.name.org
    If that runs up the correct IP address engage the ssh connection using the IP address.
    If that works then your ssh client is having dns issues
    so engage the connection again with the dyndns name but use a very verbose login so see if it turns up an error
    ssh -vvv dyndns.org
    replace dyndns.org with your actual domain name.

    Hi Roger,
    Does gMail's WebMail work with the same login & password?
    Here are two steps that have come in handy in related situations
    1) login to gmail on your computer or device via a web browser
    2) once logged in successfully, go to this URL to unlock:

    Hello, Rileys128. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I understand that you are unable to receive mail on your iPad.  Here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue with your AOL account.  I would also recommend checking with your email provider for security procedures such as two-step verification as this could cause this issue.

  • Does anyone know if iCloud is offline? I cannot get my mail to work this AM

    Does anyone know if iCloud is offline? I cannot get my mail to work this AM

    Have latest version of iTunes installed and running. Also make sure you have internet access working and can access Apple websites. Also, make sure you don't have any entries in your hosts file referring to gs.apple.com....If your not sure about how to do that, go ahead and do the rest first. You can come back to that later.....Plug in phone. Put phone in DFU mode.(google put iphone in DFU mode for instructions) Then restore the phone in iTunes by highliting your device in the left column and click on the Restore button. The latest iOS version is 4.3.3. That's what iTunes will restore it to. When it's done restoring, iTunes will ask if you want to restore from a backup or setup as a new phone. I would use the Setup as a New Phone option. Once it's done, you should have a clean install of the iOS and an operating phone, as long as there are no hardware issues with it.

  • My iphone has lost connection to the server; I cannot get e-mails.

    My iphone has lost connection to the server; I cannot get e-mails. What can I do to fix that?

    I recently put on a PowerPoint presentation at DU, in Denver Colorado; signed on as DU guest to access Internet link.  SInce then I haven't been able to get e-mail on my Iphone - Cannot Get Mail, Server Stopped Responding.  I tried all previous suggestions, such as rebooting phone, updating software etc.  I went to MacBook Pro and tried logging on to yahoo e-mail.  Apparently there was a security risk to my e-mail account so Yahoo locked up my account.  I reset my password, it was verified through text message, and Voila it worked.  Don't forget you also have to change this on your Iphone: go into settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; click on your e-mail browser, then account and enter your new password, click done and it will verify on you phone as well.  Hope this helps!!!

  • TS3899 Why can't I get my Gmail account to work after my ipad reset?

    Took my ipad to Apple store due to a software problem which was fixed by doing a reset. I then restored and backed up/sync'd my ipad in ITunes and iCloud. Now I can't get my gmail account to work on my iPad. It won't send or receive emails and I keep getting the message that my user name or password are incorrect, which I know they are not. The message is "the user name or password for imap.gmail.com is incorrect"...  I tried deleting and re-adding the account, powering down the iPad but to no avail. I can log into to gmail on my computer so I know I have the correct password.  Any thoughts or ideas? Don't really want to go back to the Apple Store again....

    Try this first - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
