ICloud mail problem with 10.8

Hi folks,
having updated today to OS 10.8 and encountered a problem to get my icloud e-mail work in Mail 6.2.
As I found on the support page here it seems that others had these problems as well for weeks.
I tried to sign out and in from icloud in the system preferences, trying to activate mail there did not work ("iCloud Mail couldn't be enabled from the iCloud Preference Pane.").
Having also deleted the icloud mail in Mail 6.2 and added it again several times without success.
It seems to me that the greyed "incoming mail server" field is resonsible for this as discussed several times here. However, is there any sloution available?
BTW iphone and ipad both working fine...
many thanks for your help
Alfred

Make note of the information in the three sections of the iCloud mail preferences, Account Information, Mailbox Behaviors and Advanced. Then delete the account and add it back again. See if that won't jump start the account.
This is what my Advanced pane looks like:
Check that first to see if yours is the same. If not change it an try again before deleting the account and adding it back.

Element v.11 & 9 Photo mail problem with MS Outlook

Looking for a fix: Elements v.11 has a photo mail problem with Microsoft Outlook mail, even when Outlook is designated the defaul e-mail program in Windows internet.
Is there a fix?? Thanks.

I just posted the same problem and so I'll join this thread, hoping to see an answer to your question. By the way, this PSE11 feature worked fine for me with Outlook 2007, but stopped working when I upgraded to Outlook 365.

ICloud Mail Sent with iPad Not Appearing in Sent Mail

Hi Everyone,
For for the past few days, the email messages that I've sent with my iPad using my iCloud address do not appear in the iCloud Sent mail folder my iMac. But if I send an iCloud mail using my iMac, it does appear in the iCloud Sent mail folder on both devices. This problem does not occur using other IMAP accounts on my iPad. What's going on?
The other thing that may be relevant is that there appear to be two Sent mail folders that appear in the iCloud account on my iPad. One is Sent with the paper airplane icon and the other is Sent Messages with a folder icon. On my iMac, there is only the Sent mail folder with the paper airplane icon. Curiously, on the iMac have see some sent messages from both of those sent mail folders from the iPad.
I'm now concerned that some important iPad messages may not have been sent, and I now must backtrack and resend them.
Regards,
Gregory

Most mail servers can be accessed in a web browser as well as in Mail. For iCloud, you go here:

ICloud sync problems with 10.9.3

Over the last 2 months I've noticed that from time to time my Notes & Calender stop syncing to iCloud from my MacBookPro. For example, the Notes window has "Updating ..." tacked onto the window title bar. When this happens, it's often the case that the iCloud pane in System Preferences won't open.
Other discussions suggest checking accounts etc but this clearly isn't the problem since iCloud syncing starts working again after a restart.
Any ideas? Should I try a system re-install?

I think I have solved the problem myself (but thanks again Csound1 for your suggestion as it made me try other remedies.)
There are two almost identical MacBook Pros in our home (mine and my wife's) and I keep them synced at intervals. I think the problem may have been to do with the fact that my account on each computer uses iCloud for Notes, Calendar and Mail accounts, and in some way the two Macs had become too identical so that iCloud was not distinguishing between them, leading to what I think system programmers call a 'deadly embrace' (each Mac waiting for the other to finish some task, like two ultra polite people trying to let each other go through a door first). Since carrying out the steps below on 20th June, iCloud sync has been working perfectly, Mail has stopped crashing, and the iCloud pane in System preferences always opens when I select it. In fact I have not had to use Force Quit at all since that date, and I have not restarted my computer (just let it sleep when not in use).
What I did was:
Step 1: made backups or archives of all mailboxes, notes, calendars and contacts from my Mac (anything that had anything to do with iCloud).
Step 2: on my Mac from System Preferences, selected the iCloud control pane, turned off iCloud syncing for all options individually, accepting any advisories that data copies would be deleted from my Mac.
Step 3: still in the iCloud pane of System Preferences, logged my Mac out of iCloud.
Step 4: repeated steps 2 and 3 for my duplicate account on my wife's Mac.
Step 5: restarted both Macs.
Step 6: on each Mac, logged back into iCloud and re-enabled iCloud syncing where wanted. [In the case of contacts, I deleted all contacts on the Mac completely first as otherwise you end up with duplicated entries as the data from iCloud is merged with the data on the Mac itself.] All the iCloud data was then correctly downloaded onto each Mac, and I did not need the backups I had made (but of course one should always make backups before carrying out any major re-organisation).
I have also checked my cross-Mac syncing procedures, and now I only sync folders that I know hold user content. This means anything that's not in ~/Library (the user's library), but it can also include some folders in the library such as mailboxes. Of course there's no point re-syncing anything set up to sync via iCloud (such as notes, calendars and contacts), but even if you select Mail in iCloud preferences actual mail messages aren't included, hence the need to sync ~/Library/Mail if you keep mail on your computer (as I do) rather than relying in an IMAP mail server.
That was it, and as I said, it seems to be holding good.
Hope these notes will be helpful to someone else.

Icloud mail synching with other persons mail

Recently set icloud to synch mail and cal on my i-phone4 - working well but I am getting another persons mail - (same name / surname as me) - any ideas how to fix?

Hi all -
I'm happy to report the resolution of this problem, at least for me. This may not cover problems others were having.
In my case, I am using an AppleID I set up a long time ago, before I had an Apple email account, so my AppleID is an email address on the yahoo.com domain. (Note, I have also configured my @me.com address as an alternate AppleID.)
When setting up my @me.com email on Apple devices (iPhone, iPad), it had no problem with this, even after changing passwords. But, from Outlook 2010 and W8 Mail it does. In my case, after changing the password, the incoming mail server (imap.mail.me.com) would connect just fine with my non-Apple email AppleID and new password. However, Apple has configured their outgoing mail server (smtp.mail.me.com) to only accept sends from a @me.com or @icloud.com address. So, when I used my alternate AppleID with the @me.com address to login separately to the smtp server, it works fine.
Hope this helps others.

Mail problems with Panther

I'm having difficulties downloading email into my client mail on my IMac. (I use Macmail, through BTinternet, an outside ISP. (Not Mac) The problem arose when I recently sent out a round robin email to a large number of hotels in Italy enquiring about accommodation - it's clear from my webmail account that dozens of them replied with quite large emails, brochuires etc etc etc. When I try to download these into my inbox, the spinning icon continues to spin round before telling me that Port 110 or something cannot accept or send emails or that my mail account has timed out. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. There is no problem with the interent connection, only mail

I just read what you wrote. So you are talking about Mail. All right. Can you see how big the inbox is in Mail - that is reported at the top of its window. I am asking this to see if you have an overfull inbox, which can cause problems.

Hi,
I did not think the characterset and database would matter for this problem, but here is the info you requested.
The database is an Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bi
The characterset : NLS_CHARACTERSET     AL32UTF8
And i don't have a clue about the characterset of the operating system (not even sure what the operating system is), but i think that will be utf-8 aswell.
I'm not sure what i did, to come over as rude, but i didn't mean to and i apologize for it.

PFD-MAIL Problem with REPORTS 3.0.5

Hi all!
Still have a problem with creating a PDF file as mail attachement.
I installed the latest patch 11 (3.0.5.19) of the oracle runtime and i compiled
the report with the patch.
What happend: Still go the error message if i open the pdf in the mail: "operant xc missing ..."
BUT !! if I create the pdf with the option "FILE" instead of "MAIL" at e.g. c:\test.pdf - its
without any error!
So the question is what is the difference beetween the two ways?????
Have a nice weekend!

Mail problem with embedded images and links

Since Yosemite Apple Mail seems to have a problem with images that are used as a hyperlink to a website.
While links are clickable with external loaded images work fine, links with embedded images just do not anything. Clicking on them selects them, a double-click opens the image in Preview.
This works:
<a href="https://www.google.de"><img src="https://www.google.de/images/srpr/logo11w.png" alt="Google Logo"></a>
This does not work:
<a href="https://www.google.de"><img src="cid:logo_google" alt="Google Logo"></a>
Can you reproduce this problem?
We tried it with OS X 10.10.1 and 10.10.2

After a bit of digging around I think I have found the reason for the EO being called prior to the CO. In the parent page CO, there is a transaction commit (oapagecontext.getApplicationModule(oawebbean).getTransaction().commit();).
Therefore, I assume that as my custom AM is a child of standard AM where the transaction is being commit, the child AM is sharing the same transaction/session and hence the EO being called.
I am running into issues with moving the validation to the EO as the validation requires visibility of the VO values to calculate a total value. Therefore is there a way to ensure that my custom AM maintains a separate database session/transaction to the parent/standard AM? Is it possible to break the parent/child relationship?
This way I assume that the commit issued by the parent page CO will not affect my custom AM/EO.
Cheers.
Jon.

Has Yosemite fixed Maverick's Mail problem with Group email addresses?

Does anyone know if Yosemite has fixed the problem that Maverick's Mail program had with Contacts? Maverick's Mail program cannot show Group Address names in the email "To:" window. By default, it shows all of the email addresses in a Group rather than the Group name. The work-around requires putting Group Addresses in the "Bcc:" window. Has that problem been fixed in Yosemite?
Many thanks,
Bob Winckler

Hi Barney,
Just found out that Maverick's problem with Mail's Group address procedure has resulted in my email accounts being put on hold by my Internet Provider. I'm the president of a local club, and I routinely send out emails to 200+ email addresses several times a month. Since Maverick's Mail now doesn't keep Group addresses hidden when shown in the email "To:" window, we have to put those Group addresses into the "Bcc:" window. The first couple of times that I did that, the emails went through, but the third time that I tried to send out such an email, my Internet Provider shut down my email account with the statement "Your ability to send new mail has been suspended as a high volume of suspicious mail has been sent from your account recently. Please contact your IT administrator." The IT administrator required me to run a virus check and then set a new password for my account before they would reactivate it. In my discussions with several of my Internet Provideer's tech reps, it appears that the way the way that the Internet Provider has their server's security system set, a high volume of email addresses in the "Bcc:" section of emails is enough to shut down an account as suspicious. Until Apple gets this problem fixed, my only options are to switch internet providers (after finding one that will let high volumes of "Bcc:" go through) or switch to an older Mac operating system, which I've done (now using an ancient iMac 400DV running Tiger (OS 10.4.11). Given the high number of businesses, etc., likely to be using Macs, I'm really surprised that Apple has let this problem with Maverick's Mail program go uncorrected.
Best regards,
Bob W

AOL Mail - PROBLEMS with sent mail

My mail is with AOL. Quite often these days I have trouble using Apple Mail. Wondering if it's AOL's problem or something wrong with my computer, or if it's my cable internet provider (Time Warner Cable - which tests at 20/1.75 Mb/sec)
Sent messages occasionally take FOREVER to send (regular text - no attachments). The transfer speed goes from very low to zero. The second problem is that occasionally sent messages don't show up in my sent folder. Most of the time it's these messages that take forever that don't show up. They don't show up in my sent folder at aol.com either. As if they never existed. Yet I do know that they are actually being sent and delivered.
Major frustration.

Ernie Stamper wrote:
I have not had any problems using AOL?
Either had I until today. I got a restricted content message when I attempted to post. I had originally used "aol.com" in my message. I assumed this was the problem, so I removed the ".com". Still got the restricted content message. I tried changing "AOL" to "America Online" and it worked.
Strange. Seems to be allowing me to post it now. Don't worry about it.
With the other Sent folder you found, apply Use This Mailbox For and choose Sent. Be sure to first transfer any messages in the one under paper airplane icon to another mailbox it they are not duplicated anywhere else.
When you do this, all should be well. I think AOL sent out instructions at one point to do just this step.
Thank you Ernie! This worked! Bravo!

Mail - Problem with Certs

Hi@all, i am new here an hopefully somoene is able to help me.
I have following Problem with Apple Mail:
I did a Upgrade from Mac OS X 10.4 to 10.5.
After that, i can't sign and encrypt my Mails with Apple Mail.
The Certs are installed and trusted in keychain. But Mail doesn't show me anymore the Functions at creating a new mail to encrypt or sign the content.
Has anyone an idea?

ok, i suggest you try two things.
first, try to drag one the "sul mio mac" that is above ".mac", below it, so that all four headers of "sul mio mac" are next to one another, and see if that clears the issue up.
if not, then i would locate the file com.apple.mail.plist in homefolder/library/preferences and trash it. do note that once you launch mail again you will have to recreate your account settings again.
hope this helps

Powerbook G4 Apple mail problem with exchange server?

Hello all,
I am new to the group. I just picked up a older PowerBook G4 at a pawnshop for cheap I've got it running really well now with the exception of my email.
I am running OS X 10.5.8
When trying to set it up with my exchange server email it does not seem to want to work with me.
I get an ALERT
(There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "Exchange" or try again.)
I know i am online fine. Internet works, streams music etc...
and
(The server error encountered was: The connection to the server (mail.mycompany.com) on port "X" timed out.)
I have tried port numbers:
465
143
443
25
993
995
with no success.
I have pinged my mail.mycompany.com and it is communicating fine there 10 sent 10 recieved.
I am sending emails fine, however I cannot recieve emails.
Anybody know what the problem might be?
THANKS!

Hi,
This might have to do with your outgoing mail server(smtp).. For example, if you use hotmail as your mail client, then your smtp would be: smtp.live.com while the incoming mail server would be: pop.live.com.
In your case, try smtp.mycompany.com or smtp.mail.mycompany.com
See if that resolves the problem.

Send Mail Problem with .Mac

I cand send mail successfully from other accounts configured on the phone(both POP and IMAP), but I get errors when sending from my .Mac account.
I found this article:
http://www.wireless.att.com/support/knowledgeBase.do?content=KB72769.html
...but .Mac account config pages on the iPhone don't provide a field for Outgoing Server to change. Actually, this article fixed the problem with my other accounts.

Thanks for the reply, Nathan.
I had already found that article. Snip below...
iPhone includes preset configurations for many of the
popular providers such as Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, .Mac,
and AOL, and in most cases sending mail will just
work.
However if you are using a different provider
than above...
Unfortunately, if you select ".Mac" for type of
account, the configuration screen does not provide a
field at all for Outgoing Server. This suggestion
only works if you are not using one of the providers
listed. It is apparently hardcoded by Apple when you
choose ".Mac". I also tried to fool it by creating a
generic IMAP account, but providing my .Mac info.
This didn't work either.
then don't select .mac, just select "Other", then select POP (or IMAP).
incoming mail server: mail.mac.com
outgoing mail server: smtp.mac.com:587
enter in your username and password
i set up my .Mac email manually by selecting "Other" and choosing POP and it is working fine.
