Imac osx 10.9.5 upgrade and mail accounts offline

I just upgraded my imac with osx 10.9.5 and can't put mail accounts online. Internet connection and mail servers are ok since I can use mail thru my iphone with same internet connection. tis

Same issue here too. I'm using Google Apps for business and they no longer online via OS X mail client. Browser-based and Mobile mail clients work fine.

Wife and I have separate iOS devices, separate iCloud accounts. But we both want to access mail from the iMac (OSX Mavericks.) Currently only my mail is linked. How to configure so that wife's iCloud mail can be seen on iMac. Simple and explicit please!

My wife and I have separate ioS devices (iOS7) with separate iCloud accounts.
So we access our mail separately on these devices. But we would both like to be able to access mail at the desk top (iMac, OSX Mavericks). Currently only my mail is linked. How do I set up the Mac to allow it to access my wife's e-mail too, either in the same mail inbox or a separate one. Simple instructions please!

If Mail in Mavericks is the same as earlier versions you can select accounts in the sidebar, so that you can either display the inboxes for individual accounts, or the contents of all the account inboxes. (If the accounts don't show click the disclosure triangle next to 'INBOX'). The layout may have changed since the version I have - Snow Leopard - but you should be able to do the same thing.

You need to restart the iMac and hold down the Command and R keys immediately.
You will then have the utilities drop down and you choose Terminal
When Terminal opens, type exactly:
resetpassword
and press Return.
When the Reset Password window opens, select the user for which you want to change the password.
Enter the new password twice, and then click Save.
Accept the next dialog window,
And then Apply
When finished click the apple at the left side of the menu bar, and the Restart.

Sync stuck at syncing "calendars" and "mail accounts..." How can I get past it?

It just started happening like two days ago when I updated to 6.1.3. I could've sworn that I already had it, but something updated a few days ago... Anyways, I unchecked "Calendars" and it got stuck and "mail accounts," so I guess it's something to do w/ Outlook or my Google Accounts. I don't know. Help??

I did not put the OS info in my question because I am not sure what I have. I upgraded to Lion so that I could use the cloud between my devices, however I do not know the number.
Apple menu item->About this Mac and the version is listed there. Click on that and get the build number. Click again and get the machine's serial number.
I am stuck on the white screen. Any other advice?
Start with a google search for white screen mac. This one might do the trick: http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/apple-desktops/138137-imac-wont-get-passed-whit e-screen.html

Why would you delete your iCloud account for a password change with your Yahoo account?
Regardless, if no problem re-creating your iCloud account on your iPad, contact Yahoo technical support.

Notes on OSX 10.9.2 and Mail account

I have OSX and upgraded yesterday to 10.9.2. On my IMac, I seem to have lost all my "notes" which used to show up in the Mail account on the side bar. They remain on my iPad and Phone, but those two seem to no longer communicate on iCloud with the iMac.

You don't reply in email to an iCloud invitation. You load the ICS attachment and are prompted to accept or decline.

IMac G5 10.5.8 Safari and Mail will not run...

I have had an issue with Safari and Mail running ever since I updated to 10.5.8, both will start up and even start loading a page or email but once it gets started it unexpectdly quits. I have run permissions repair and tried a disk repair but it quits during that process too. I deleted all of my caches the safari plist and I am out of ideas? Any suggestions?

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

IMac doesn't show we have e-mail accounts

Our iMac Mail doesn't show any of our mail accounts. It want us to set up our mail account again. Any suggestions?

Did you ever set it up/configure it with your ISP's server addresses, port numbers, etc? If not, you will need to do so or it won't work. If you've done a reinstall or inadvertantly tossed out a needed file, Mail might think it's never been set up or the same thing can happen if you've changed ISPs. So, before you open Mail, call your ISP and get all the relevant information you need or check their website for instructions on how to set up Mail on a Mac.

Isync/.mac sync and mail accounts

Mail checks 3 email accounts for me. And .Mac is set to sync my mail accounts and settings across two computers.
The thing is, every time I open Mail (on either computer), .mac will eventually sync, and I get the "this is going to change >5% of your mail accounts" warning. It says it is going to delete two accounts, modify zero, and add two. I always just click ok.
But it's getting to the point it's annoying. So today I clicked the "details" section- and it shows the accounts that are supposed to be added/deleted- and they are identical.
Everything else syncs fine, without error.
is there something funny about mail account syncing? Why does it do this every single bloody time .mac runs a sync?!
Thanks!

You should ask in the .Mac Sync forum. iSync doesn't do any kind of Mail syncing - it's for syncing to phones and PDAs.

All Mail accounts offline and won't come back

Suddenly this morning, all accounts (4) on my main, desk, computer went off line. Nothing I do brings them back. I've reset all login credentials and am out of ideas.
- I've checked with my ISP and they find nothing wrong
- other emails in our domain still working
- in fact, the mail is coming in on my other devices -- iPad, iPhone, Air, etc. (so it's not the server, clearly)
I'm left to think the Mail app on this one computer has something wrong.
Anybody know anything I can do?
Running 10.6.8 and Mail ver 4.6
Please help!

Thanks!
Seemed the answer was to disenable each account in Preferences, then click Enable This Account back to on. Each one in turn came back on line. Also found the problem in another computer in the office and it worked to bring that one back also.
Much appreciated.

Mail takes all mail account offline. I have duplicated this twice now. Let see if we can solve this.

I see others have had this problem but I do not see a solution. Simply put mail takes all accounts offline. The user is unable to return them to online status. Logging out or restarting will not allow the reenabling of the accounts. It takes deleting some of the files associated with mail and re entering the accounts info. I have seen this happen only when I have high date rate incoming internet traffic and mail attempts to retrieve the mail and it may take a few times. I download quite a few linux dvd isis so at time my bandwidth is full. This is when it has happened every time.
Even after the traffic has ceased mail is unable to connect. I ran disk util to see if there was a permission problem. I disabled the firewall to see if something changed there. Now note only mail seems affected i.e. internet usage is not. I tried pinging the smtp server no returns.

What files contain the config data for mail? The plist file?
Before I forget this is a macbook pro running 10.9.3 OS X Mail is Version 7.3 (1878.2)
connection doctor says mail was able to connect to the internet( notice trace route appears okay) but then complains the servers are unreachable.
Any thoughts, things to try etc.?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

All mail accounts offline when disconnecting from HMA pro

Im using Airport Extremes WLAN for internet access.
Every time I disconnect from HMA! VPN Pro , secure internet encryption application, all my mac mail accounts go offline. All available SMTP servers including gmail smtp server which according HMA Helpline is whitelisted , are all off-line. No way to bring them back alive again.Cant send or receive any email. Quitting HMA and reloading mail doesn't work. It drives me nuts. Support from HMA is poor. They say to use gmail smtp servers instead any others because they are "whitelisted". but even gmail is steadily offline. Tried to change ports as suggested in their troubleshooting section- without success.
Only thing that does the trick is to switch to my iPhone's personal hotspot. But switching back to WLAN again sets all accounts offline again.
Another workaround is to restart the complete system 10.8.5 and not log on to HMA which is quiet a nuisance. AS soon as I log in I can't send email again through mac mail program (which according HMA's support section "is normal"-). Logging on to HMA must doe some nasty thing to the WLAN settings in the background which I can't figure out. So far I have not received any solution to this nuisance from HMA.
Anybody out there having similar problems and possible solutions?
Help is very much appreciated!!

Here's what i did, I had the same problem. Go to the finder/go/computer/yourname/library/preferences. move the file com.apple.mail.plist to the trash bin. But before you do this copy all the info on your account for your isp. Such as user name,password , incomming server, and outgoing server info. This worked for me. Good luck

Mail accounts offline after computer wakes

When my computer wakes up from sleep, the mail accounts won't come back on line. The only solution is to close Mail then re-open it. All was working fine with Lion.

I am seeing this sometimes on my MBP with ML (and only there) with my 5 accounts (POP) provided by my ISP, although seldom all 5 at the same time. Most of the time, if I check Online Status, they aren't always Offline (shown by the only option being offered is to Take Offline) but unresponsive to getting new messages. Typically if I control-click on the Inbox of any one of them, and choose Get Account Info, then that routine can communicate with the server and show all messages on the server. If they are Online, then with the individual Online Status status check I can take them Online. If not showing Offline, then the status later gets updated if I am patient.
Never happens to my other accounts, most of which are IMAP, nor does it happen consistently. I continue to investigate. I keep wondering if some sort of check is being done while asleep, which fails, and results in this.
