ICloud keeps checking pop3 account

Hi,
iCloud is giving me a headache when it comes to checking mail. During my Mobile Me periode you could have it check a third party pop3 mailaccount. Worked just fine. Then I read that iCloud didn't offer this feature, but that wasn't a dealbreaker for me. I wasn't going to use that old pop3 account any longer anyway.
I did however have my Mobile Me account migrate to an iCloud account, without removing those pop3 settings. I figured since it didn't include the pop3 feature, It would just go away.
But it hasn't.
My iCloud mail now keeps checking my old pop3 account, but the problem is that there aren't any settings one can alter to prevent this.
And just to be clear: my old pop3 account has no settings to forward my mail to iCloud so the solution can't be found in that area.
Is there a way to solve this annoying problem ?
Kind regards and merry Christmas everybody
Dirk

Hi Laura,
I could resolve the issue for myself.
In both mailboxes we have seen this issue were hundreds of entries in the "Accounts->Pending Requests" Dialog, all concerning the different pop3 accounts. Most pretty old actions from 2013. Maybe there were conversation errors with the pop3 server in the past - I don't know.
So I guess when the client in online mode tried to start the pop3 session, it first tried to work on the pending requests queue what resulted in the gwsync.exe crash.
I deleted all items in the queue and started the gw client again.
Everything works fine now.
So, the solution for this is: check the pending requests and delete all old stuff...
Regards
Tobi

  • APPCRASH in gwsync when checking pop3 account

    Hi,
    my GW 2014 Client on Windows prompts an appcrash window "Groupwise Remote Synchronization does not work anymore..." while trying to fetch mails from my pop3 account.
    Details:
    Problemereignisname: APPCRASH
    Anwendungsname: GWSync.exe
    Anwendungsversion: 14.0.0.25243
    Anwendungszeitstempel: 5334b2f5

    It happens on different pop3 accounts randomly. I saw this also with GW 2012...
    Opening the same GW Account with same GW client version on a different machine (same OS, Win 8.1), don't have any errors....
    Anyone see this too?
    Suggestions?
    thanks and regards

  • Mail is still checking deleted account

    occasionally I'll get an alert asking for the password for an email account which is no longer installed (it doesn't appear under the preferences > accounts window). Any idea why Mail keeps checking this account??

    No, but if you don't mind writing down all of your valid account information (imap/pop and smtp server names, port numbers, SSL or not, etc.), you could quit Mail, temporarily drag your /Users/marckula/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist onto your Desktop (this is for just in case you don't like what you've done, you can restore your previous Mail configuration by just dragging it back), restart Mail, and recreate your desired account preferences from your handwritten notes by going through the (first-launch) Mail setup "Wizard." I would think that that would get rid of attempted logins to phantom mail accounts.
    Or, you could try double-clicking on the /Users/marckula/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist to edit it if you're comfortable with using the Property List Editor (I think you might have had to have installed the Developer package first) or using "pico" inside Terminal.app to edit it if you're comfortable with using Terminal.app. I'd drag a backup copy of it to the desktop before editing it, though.

  • Synchronisation of Mail with POP3 account

    I have two email accounts, Mobile Me (now upgraded to iCloud) and a POP3 account from my ISP.  I had set things so that my MobileMe mailbox automatically read my POP3 account so that all incoming messages ended in my MobileMe mailbox.  This had the advantage of synchronisation between Macbook, iPhone and iPad.  The MobileMe/POP3 account synchronisation has recently stopped working.  I can't think of an event that might have caused this.
    I want to investigate but I can't remember how I set it up in the first place.  Can anybody help?
    I have a work around involving a rule in Mac Mail but this only works when Mail is running on the Mac whereas the previous solution didn't.

    I don't know if they will give you the certificate... but this is the process for adding certs for securing emails.
    Otherwise, try Outlook 2011.

  • I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?

    I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?

    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • TS3297 I keep trying to purchase something in the iStore but it comes up with "Your account is temporarily unavailable"  "Store unable to access my account info"  But I have checked my account info and everything is up to date.

    I keep trying to purchase something in the iTunes Store but it comes up with "Your account is temporarily unavailable"  "Store unable to access my account info"  But I have checked my account info and everything is up to date. 
    I have some money from a card still on my account that I would like to use.

    This has been an issue with some users for close to 24 hours now. I've been getting the error for the last 5 or so hours myself.
    Having problems is understandable, it happens. and if this is related to the iCloud hack reported yesterday it is good to know Apple is trying to fix the issue.
    But it sure would be nice if there was an official statement from Apple concerning this.

  • Email - POP3 account - how to keep/save the received messages on the phone after deleting on server

    Hello,
    I'm new on this forum and I'd like to receive some help and indication with regards to one issue related to email POP3 account.
    I'm using a BB Z10, and after setting all the email accounts I have seen that on the company email account, which is a POP 3, I can't keep the messages on device after deleting them on server (this is programmed to be once at 2 days).
    Exists the possibility to check an option which allows saving the received messages on the device? As it is happening on other devices from other brands?
    Looking forward to receive your advice and suggestions!
    Thanks!

    Sorry, no.
    The Z10 utlizes ActiveSync technology which basically (for lack of a better term) "mirrors" the messages available on your server. You delete them from the server, they are deleted from the device.
    You'd be best off on your server instead, to "file" or move those messages to another folder. This too might delete the messages on your device (since they no longer appear in the INbox, but at least they will not be completely deleted.

  • How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

    How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

    You can migrate a copy of the data to a new account, then delete the other person's data from each account.  To do this, on the phone that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that you want to keep on the phone, save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. If you have any synced notes that you want to keep on the phone, email these to yourself so you can create new notes in the new account.
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.  You will create a new icloud email address with you turn Mail to On.
    Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa).

  • HT204053 When I initially try to sign in to iCloud, I get the "Account not verified" screen and I am told to check my email for instructions to verify.  No email is ever sent. My ID and password work on all other Apple app's.  Why not for iCloud?

    I've tried both. First, I tried on my pc, where iTunes had installed iCloud when it last updated. I have iTunes installed on this computer (and on my iPad and iPhone), but that wasn't the issue.
    So I went online, thinking I needed a separate iCloud Apple ID, but it prompted me for my current Apple ID and gave me the message about my ID being "valid" but not an iCloud account," which, lol, was what it had asked me to do in order to create one. I checked, and at least one other user is having the same issue. I'll attempt to copy/paste the Support request url: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4430653?tstart=0
    Thank you for any help you can give.

  • Is it possible to keep an email account on the iPhone but stop if from checking for new mail?

    I have an email account that has been deleted from the provider (Gmail), but I want to keep the old mails on my phone, while stopping it from checking for new mail.  Is this possible? 
    If I disable the account to stop if from checking for new mail (and producing a bunch of annoying pop-ups every time the mail app is opened), the account becomes invisible and the old mails disappear.  I want to keep them visible to I can read and refer to them, but want to stop the phone from trying to download new ones or check the account.
    Any help appreciated. 

    Thanks for the thought.  In this case, that doesn't really help much, as it requires a bunch of button pushing just to check emails.  Plus, if I'm not mistaken, in addition to switching modes every time I check email, it also prevents the other accounts from downloading the most recent mails as well.  Since it's possible to keep an account on a Mac computer, but take it offline, it's very disappointing if there isn't a way to do the equivalent on an iPhone so that it passively holds the mails but doesn't send constant pop-ups every time the app is accessed.

  • HT3702 I keep attempting to make a in app purchase and it keeps saying payment declined although I have plenty of funds when I check my account. What can I do?

    I keep attempting to make a in app purchase and it keeps saying payment declined although I have plenty of funds when I check my account. What can I do?

    I assume that you are trying to use a debit card ? If it is then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method in all countries - from this page :
    You may be able to use other payment types in your country, like debit and Maestro cards
    which implies that they are not accepted in all countries, and there have been a number of posts about them being declined.
    For a card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are. If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) and see if they know why it's being declined (but you might not be able to use a debit card) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management

  • TS3276 Mail keeps checking a pop server related to an account I deleted.

    Dear Friends,
    A few months ago I upgraded to Lion and all Mail accounts were moved to the new version of Mail.
    A couple of weeks after I deletes the pop account related to my company web server. All the messages not moved to different folder were deleted and the pop server and SMTP server 10.1.11.100 disappeared from the server list.
    I realized from the "Activity" window that Mail keeps checking it for new e-mail.
    I deleted Mail's preference file without success. I searched with spotlight for an occurrence of "10.1.11.100" in files and system files without any result.
    Is there any further step I can take to stop Mail from checking this server that doesn't exist anymore?
    Many thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    lS.

    Check the smtp outgoing server list and see if one still exists for that account. If so, delete it.
