IMAP email won't configure

Hey guys,
I'm trying to configure my "g.ucla.edu" email id. As this is through Google Apps, I need to set it up as IMAP. I have followed the google instructions to do so for android, but the phone just won't accept it! My other "gmail.com" email id works just fine. I need this fixed as my school id is very important

Corporate Email won't configure via BIS

I work for HP and am not able to configure my email using BIS via IMAP. I have confirmed the IMAP works on my system, via Outlook Express, but cannot get the BB (Storm) to connect at all.
I am using the settings provided and have talked to Verizon for over an hour with no resolution there either.
The message I get from BIS site is "An Error occurred during email account validation. Please check your information and try again." Others at my company are using their BB, although not Storms, with IMAP and have no issue whatsoever.

Further update: I forwarded the problem email back to my wife's iPad and it now renders fine. Something to do with header on the original mail maybe? It was not corrupt as my wife could view and print it OK on her PC Gmail account.

Why will IMAP email not send from Mac OS 10.10.1 Yosemite Mail even though it is configured the same as on my old Macbook (and emails are sending just fine on the old computer)?

I can receive but cannot send IMAP email on my 1&1 mail account from Mac OS 10.10.1 Yosemite Mail on my new Macbook Pro. The account is set up the same port, password, username, server name as on my old Macbook and emails are sending just fine on the old computer.
When I hit send on the new Macbook Pro running Yosemite I get this message:
"The connection to host ... on port 993 failed.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent."
It shows the server as (offline)
I've tried erasing and typing in the password. I've tried both checking and unchecking Automatically detect and maintain account settings. Still cannot send.
I also have a Gmail account and it is working...

email service uses an Incoming Server and an Outgoing Server. Mac Mail makes access to the Incoming Server(s) obvious, and hides the settings for the outgoing Server(s). A quick and easy way to get access to the Outgoing Servewr settings is to use:
Window > Connection Doctor ...
... then click on the red light for the Server that is not working for you to see its settings.

Gmail on iPhone (IMAP Account) Won't Send Emails

So my IMAP account on my iPhone 3G is Gmail. Yesterday I could send emails all over the place and it worked fine. I turned on my iPhone 3G today and for some reason it kept saying "The Sending Address is Invalid" message every time I tried to send an email. My IMAP is also linked to my MacBook's Mail utility and I can send messages there no problem. It's just on my iPhone 3G that seems to be the problem. I even tried deleting the account and re-setting it up on my iPhone 3G...I've even tried contacting Google for help with Gmail setup but so far, nothing has worked.
Is anybody else having issues with their IMAP email accounts on their iPhone 3G's? Does anybody know how to fix this?

Hey, so I checked the Google Discussion Forums and yes, it is a Google problem. I turned off my primary SMTP server which is Gmail, and I turned on my ROGERS SMTP server. This way I can still receive Gmail messages on the IMAP server and send out emails on the ROGERS server. I guess we'll just have to wait till Google fixes whatever problem there is with the Gmail SMTP server before we use them again. Hope that helps everyone with this problem.
p.s. This should work for FIDO customers as well (other Canadians) and AT&T in the U.S.

I know MS Exchange can be read using IMAP, but it must be configured to do so or it won't work.

That sounds like a settings issue to me. Check with your IT depatment to make sure you have it configured properly.

Random emails won't open

Hi There,
Having a strange problem - I'm using a single IMAP account in Mac Mail, 10.9.5, and I'm getting a lot of bugs that seem connected. Two worth noting are:
- When opening Mail, a few of the newest emails won't open; the preview window stays grey, as does the popup if I double click. If I forward or reply these messages, they display fine in a new popup window. A restart of mac mail will usually fix this, however, after a few minutes messages will become unaccessible again.
- Sometimes selecting "Inbox(s)" will result in zero messages being displayed, yet the VIP folder will display all the VIP messages. Again, restart.
In my attempts to solve this I have:
- deleted my mail account and set it up fresh, including deleting preference files and old mailboxes.
- fixed permissions, restarted, etc
This all started when I did a fresh install on an SSD drive that's my new OS drive. Can't figure out what's going wrong. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Do a backup.
Quit Mail.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

Emails won't open - why???

A few months ago my email account was hacked, spewing spam all over the place. So I contacted AT+T and a customer service person changed my security settings and reset my configurations. This caused me to lose everything that had been on the face of my Inbox, which I use as a to-do list. So I called AT+T again, and they said the first service person should not have changed the configurations. Well, great. After eight hours with India I was still left without the mail that had been on the face of my Inbox. And ever since then:
---when I delete emails, they come back from the dead! No kidding, they mysteriously reappear in my Inbox and I have to delete them again.
---my MacBook overheats off and on, fan comes on. I have to shut the whole system down, it's broiling.
Concerned about the overheating, I checked on my Activity Moniter but didn't see anything suspicious. Nevertheless, a google search encouraged me to download Little Snitch, to keep an eye on activities. But ever since then:
---most new emails won't open. They sit totally blank and empty, with the little grey spinning wheel going round. Eventually some open. But I have to wait and wait and wait and wait.
So I got rid of Little Snitch. But I still have the same problems as above.
Thank you for any help!

Change your password if you haven't already. Is is At&t email, At&t through yahoo?
You keep saying inbox and email, but not indicating if it is through macs email application or through a webmail that you access via a browser.
Have you scanned the computer yet using an antivirus? In some rare cases it may need a reformat, but you should start with the password change and the scanning.

Imap accounts won't go online

A very strange thing started to happen to my Macbook Pro since yesterday. My Imap accounts won't go online. My internet is working fine. My POP accounts sync normally. When I try to put the Imap accounts online Mail gives me the following message "error 51 - network is unreacheable". I have no idea of how to correct this.
Thanks for helping,

Well, I don’t know what could be the problem either, but something to look at is that there is nothing wrong with your network settings.
In particular, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Try also turning OFF all the network port configurations except the one needed to connect to Internet and see whether that makes a difference -- if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.

All my emails stored in my IMAP Email that were stored in my Thunderbird "Profile" are not loading in my Thunderbird Account.

All my emails that were stored in Thunderbird in IMAP don't not load into my Thunderbird Account anymore.
Although I do not use IMAP anymore, and have not used IMAP for the past 7 months (only use POP), all of my old IMAP Emails would automatically load in my Thunderbird Email Software. Several days ago all the IMAP emails not longer are there. I only get a message saying: "
"Alert from account harrison@---------com: full IMAP support is NOT enabled for this account"
My question is ... I haven't been using IMAP for the past 7 months, and everyday all my previously old emails from IMAP was stored in Thunderbird. Now they are gone. Can you help me retrieve my emails. Perhaps they're still saved in my Thunderbird IMAP Profile on my hard drive? ??? I need help retrieving them!! Please help,
Best Regards,
Harrison

Based on the information you provided it appears you had synchronization enabled for your IMAP account. Synchronization means Thunderbird downloads an offline copy of the messages on the server. That is probably the reason why you were able to access those messages until disaster struck.
I can only speculate what may have happened. The most likely scenario would be that for whatever reason Thunderbird did sync with the server. In your case that means to remove all messages from your local disk, because none were on the server anymore.
Just for the records, leaving messages in that IMAP account was extremely thoughtless. You should have moved all your messages off of the server prior to the 'Local Folders' account prior to canceling the IMAP account. In addition accumulation messages in Inbox for several years isn't best practice.
That obviously won't get your messages back. I guess there isn't much you can do, unless you do have a recent backup of your profile.
Have you checked the file Inbox underneath ImapMail/<account name>? That's were your messages are supposed to be. What's the size of the file? If you haven't compacted folders yet, the deleted messages may still be in there. You can open it with a text editor to check. Make sure to create a backup copy of that file before doing anything else.

Why does virgin IMAP email keep failing

My wife and I both have iPhone 4’s and iPad 2’s, and all are set up to access our Virgin email accounts via IMAP using the imap.virginmedia.com server. For some reason my wife’s iPhone keeps having an issue every few days or so where emails cannot be downloaded and she gets a message saying ‘The mail server “imap.virginmedia.com” is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings’.
In the past when this came up I used to close down the mail application and it would then work again, however since iOS 6 this does not fix the issue, and the only way I can get her email to work again is to delete the email account and rebuild it once more.
I am puzzled not only as to what is happening, but also why this only affects the mail on her iPhone and not iPad, and why it never affects me? I would normally think it is an issue with the virgin mail servers but as this only affects her iPhone (and not her iPad with the same settings) I am not so sure and so think it is an Apple issue. Can anyone help or have any suggestions?
Just to be clear, all IMAP accounts on the 4 devices are set up the same, and her email does work with the settings used for a time. It just keeps encountering this error on the iPhone (more frequently over the past few weeks).

I love the way threads just die in these support forums. I have the same problem so went into Apple Store in London and asked someone, when I said I was on Virgin they rolled theirs eyes and said 'IMAP and Virgin emails on iPhone are not good' I asked if it had anything to do with the fact that Virgin.net use Gmail to provide their email but he wasn't aware if that was the issue.
Sorry no solution but safe to say you are not alone, it's doing my head in and to complicate things for me if I have wifi enabled, and connected at home, POP emails won't send via cellular connection but second I disable wifi they fly. Sorry I digress.

Have 1 POP3 email account I want to work like IMAP email in icloud. Apple suggested created a new Apple ID just for POP3. Has anyone tried this to see if it works and will delete across multiple devises?

Have 1 POP3 email account I want to work like IMAP email in icloud (keeps my iMac, iPhone, ipad mail in sync). Apple suggested trying creating a new Apple ID just for that POP3 email. Has anyone tried this to see if it works and will delete/update across multiple devises? Would mean keeping up with two Apple ID accounts but only other alternative I know of is paying for monthly service for Microsoft 365.

would I be able to "upload" (not sure how else to say it) my existing folders and subfolders containing all my emails so that they are all available on my new IMAP service, while still being available on my Mac?
Not easily, no. There's no direct transfer option between POP and IMAP, especially across email providers. The best you could do would be to forward all of your emails to your new address, although it's not clear that you need to - dropping your sbcglobal.net account doesn't instantly render all your existing mail void - it'll still be in your Mail client, you can still read it, search it, etc., it just won't be on your provider's server.
I have toyed with the idea of getting a MobileMe account. Would that solve my issue/question above?
MobileMe would be viable, especially if you're interested in synching your various iOS devices. It's not free, of course, unlike Yahoo and Gmail, although you've already discounted them...
I have also toyed with purchasing my own URL, but it's hard to tell from the sites (1and1, Namecheap, etc.) if they come with IMAP email accounts included.
Some registrars offer email hosting bundles with a domain registration. This could be a good way to go. GoDaddy, for example, have a email hosting option for domains you register with them.

IMAP Email: Sent, Trash, and Draft folder behavior

I just did a fresh install of Snow Leopard where I'm unable to configure or sync the Sent, Trash, and Draft Folders in their specific top level sections. Although, I was able to successfully configure them in this way before I reinstalled Snow Leopard (currently running 10.6.6).
I had 3 IMAP accounts within three top level folder sections called Inbox (3 accounts), Sent (3 accounts), Draft (3 accounts), and Trash (3 accounts) where all email was stored/synced on the IMAP server hosted by my webhost.
After reinstalling Snow Leopard, I configured each account the same exact way where the Inbox folder was configured just fine on the top level but now the Sent, Draft, and Trash folders have now moved to the lower level "On My Mac" section where specific sections were created for each account (Example: (Account 1 - Sent, Draft, Trash). Although, I do see a Sent section in the top level with nothing in it.
When configuring the email, I selected to store sent email, drafts, and trash on the server. Path is currently set to INBOX. I really do not understand why Mail is creating separate lower level "On My Mac" sections and placing the Sent, Draft, and Trash folders in there.
I greatly appreciate any help or tips I can try to set my IMAP email the way I had it before.

Select the 'Sent' mailbox in the lower section, choose menu 'Mailbox' > 'Use this Mailbox for' > 'Sent'.
Repeat the procedure for the other mailboxes (drafts, junk, trash).

Do i still need my imap email account?

do i still need my imap email account? I have an iCloud account also. Is it just duplicating?
Cheers!
Paul.

Do you mean your MobileMe account? (IMAP is just the connection protocol and other ISPs use it). Your MobileMe has become your iCloud account and if you have this successfully set up and working you can delete the MobileMe account as it won't do anything.
If you have an IMAP account with another address than @me.com or @mac.com you should leave it alone.
