IMAP Error Message

I continually receive the following: Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: Message too large.

Hi,
When did you get this error message? When you try to send a message or when you launch your Outlook?
We may get the error message when one email message is greater than 20 megabytes (MB) in total. We can try to find out that email and move it to a local or archive folder. For detailed steps, please refer to the "Most

Or, we can just change the maximum size limit, see:

IMAP error messages "Error while parsing IMAP response"

I'm getting thousands of IMAP errors every hour, can I shut those off?
My console log is flooded with them and it keeps me from seeing anything else
in the system log. The IMAP errors happen continuously while Mail.app is running.
It looks like debug output from Mail.app !?!
IMAP server is Beehive Server -- it's my company email so I need to use it.
Windows Outlook (Windows 7) shows no errors, possibly they're silently ignored
on Windows. My disk is writing almost continuously when Mail.appo is running.
Sample error: (thousands are generated per hour)
Apr 8 10:29:18 Js-Coolio-iMac.local Mail[22903]: Error while parsing IMAP response (null): Incomplete response
          Remaining text: <    Gian Luigi<br>>
          Full text: <    Gian Luigi<br>>
Any idea how to shut these off? I reinstalled Mavericks, no improvement as expected
since this seems to be Mail complaining about IMAP protocol issues.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. And yes I've rebooted, reinstalled the IMAP account,
reinstalled Mavericks, etc.

I get nothing but error messages, -"Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: 113 that mail is not available" or 364? there are hundreds stacked up.You must give answers to how to fix these when we do "search" add the error code number

I get nothing but error messages, -
"Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: 113 that mail is not available" or the same with: 364?
Now there are hundreds stacked up on my desktop.
I cannot find the answer anywhere. You need to give answers to how to fix these errors because when I "search" "error code" or the number there is NOTHING. NOTHING! Yet you give us these stupid error codes
then you do not give us ANYTHING on how to fix these. These error codes make me so mad it makes me hate outlook, and hate the developers and hate microsoft. How in the world can you give us ERROR codes without the explanation of what
to do or how to fix it. You need to add each error code number in your "search" then explain what it is and how to fix it. I am not a tech. I am a lawyer. I have googled the entire string of error code and nothing is clear.
So, for the last several years, I get these error codes. Also, there is another error code that won't go away--it is the password error code that asks if I want to store the password. Yes, so I say YES. but it pops back. I am sick of this. This is the reason
I hate Microsoft and I love google. #1 they respond to error, #2 them try to fix them you do not. I paid the full price to buy the OUtlook 2010, almost $500 just to get outlook, and all I got was error codes. I could not even open it because all I would get
was that error codes and NO ONE knew how to fix them. WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM that you cannot fix the stupid error codes that you imbed? PLEASE HELP

Hi,
I understand how frustrated you are when facing such an issue, maybe I can provide some suggestions on the problem.
Based on the description, you should be using an IMAP account setup in Outlook. As for the error message, usually it's caused by a corrupted message on the Server. I suggest you logon the Webmail site, check if sending/receiving emails works well.
If you find any unusual emails that cannot be read or sent, try deleting them to try again.
I also suggest you create a new profile to setup the IMAP account:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918/en-us
Contact your Email Service Provider to get the correct and latest account settings, since you have been using Outlook for years, some settings may have been changed while you haven't been informed.
For the steps to setup an account in Outlook 2010, please refer to:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/outlook-help/add-or-remove-an-email-account-HA010354414.aspx
I hope this helps.

Unable to add iCloud IMAP mail. Weird error message.

Hi there,
I just got my business mobile phone, a BlackBerry Z10 and wanted to add my iCloud services in the personal workspace. The contacts and calendar syncs just fine, however when adding the mail I get this error message:
"command: b'CAPABILITY' => socket error:-Too many read 0"
Also when trying to add the mail account as a standard IMAP account, entering all settings according to Apple, I still get the error message once it wants to "saving and verifying your settings". I also tried various combinations of smtp ports (587, 25), SSL and StarTLS. Using username with or without the @me.com. Using @icloud.com instead @me.com,... etc. etc. Always get this error message.
Then I though perhaps the administrators blocked this functionality, however I was able to add my personal gmail account, which wouldn't have been the case if they would block private mails.
Any help highly appreciated!
Thanks, Christoph
Solved!

Hello,
I have used the procedure/settings described in the link hereunder on my Z10 and iCloud mail is working fine:

Need help with an error message when making changes to an IMAP account

I have several IMAP accounts in my Mac Mail. Today when I tried to edit the, "Full Name" associated with the account I got an error message that said:
Invalid Directory
The account path /Users/kristen/Library/Mail/[email protected]@host365.ISPhost.com is already being used by the account "Silver"
Did I somehow corrupt something? I'm not sure why making this small change to the full name would cause such an error. Please help.
Thanks!!

stop() forcibly kills a thread. You shouldn't use this method because if the thread is in a critical section of code, you can cause data corruption or deadlock.
Instead, if you need to stop execution from another thread, invoke the interrupt() method.
Good luck.

HT2623 I keep getting an error message when I enter my password for iCloud IMAP server

I keep getting an error message when I enter my password for iCloud IMAP server

A number of users who have chosen to set up iCloud mail manually in the Mail application seem to encounter problems with continually being asked to sign in. This may well be a result of incorrect settings such as not setting 'Apple Token' for authentication under the accounts advanced settings.
A more general approach to remedying such problems would be to turn off Mail in System Preferences/Settings > iCloud, checking the account has been removed from Mail (and deleting it if it hasn't), restarting and then enabling iCloud Mail again from System Preferences/Settings > iCloud. This will ensure the correct settings are used.

Error message cannot connect to IMAP server after 31.4.0 upgrade installed

After automatic security upgrade 31.4.0, I get an error message "IMAP server has disconnected. The server may have gone down or there may be a network problem."
No problems until the upgrade.
It is a Mac Mini running 10.7.5
My Mac laptop without the upgrade works fine.

Restart the router and the broadband device, if they're separate. If there's no change, see below.
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.

I keep getting an error message while trying to setup my imap Gmail and Aol accounts on my new ipad air. The error says user name or password is incorrect but I know for a fact they are correctly entered. How do I correct this?

Hi Allan, thanks for that. I've already set up a log in for my wife and that is all working fine. The problem is that when she logs in and opens iTunes and trys to associate her library with her iTunes account she gets the error message "This computer is already associated with another iTunes account". Whilst this is true, the computer is associated with my iTunes account under my separate log in, which should have nothing to do with hers. If she transfers the association to her account it will lock me out of my content on my log in for 90 days - I'm trying to work out how to associate each of the log in accounts with a separate iTunes account so we can access our music independently of one another without locking each other out. Hope that makes sense!

Moving IMAP gmail folder error message

This is not a question, but just posting to help someone else who might be having the same problem. When moving Gmail folders from "On My mac" to the IMAP folder for Gmail, I received the error message:
The IMAP command “CREATE” failed with server error: Folder contains excess whitespace (Failure).
Turns out that one of the sub-folders I was trying to move had a folder name with a space at the end of it. As soon as I deleted the extra space at the end of the folder name, Gmail would allow me to move the folders.
Also, I was moving a batch of multiple folders and all of the ones prior to this one moved successfully. The one with the extra space, plus all of the folders after this one, failed to move until I solved the problem.

Email attachment not included in forwarded message - no error message given

A coworker of mine was trying to forward a large 25.6MB pdf over the AT&T network. She downloaded entire message before hitting forward and selected "include attachments" when given the option. She could see the icon for the attachment at the bottom of the forwarded message, but the recipient doesn't receive the attachment and it is not reflected in the sent email. There is no warning or error message given. She could forward this from her desktop account, so it doesn't seem to be a server based limit on attachments..
This is an exchange server email account and an iphone 5.
Any ideas?

I too am experiencing this behavior, however, for some reason that I do not know, the attachments appear ok one day and then they appear embedded. This is becoming detrimental to my work!
Is anyone looking into this at Apple?

An e-mail message with a Word-attachment that was

To reproduce this, I sent an e-mail with a Word

Linux machine. After that, I forwarded the received
message with the attachment again to my own address.
In Thunderbird, the forwarded message shows the
attachment correctly, but in Apple Mail (2.1), that I
use with the same e-mail account (IMAP), the original
message shows the attachment correctly, but in the
forwarded message it appears undecoded in the message
body (see above).
I searched the forum and found similar issues, but
not exactly what happens here. Also, no solutions
provided helped me to solve this problem. Any

How do I re-install Thunderbird on my Windows 8 Laptop and also Reset the Profile as I am getting lots of error messages.

My Gmail account works fine..... but what my problem is that my Thunderbird email has during the last 2 weeks stopped recieving and sending Messages and I am totally lost what i need to do. All my configuration settings (Incoming Server and Outgoing Server) are correct as Thunderbird configured these correctly (IMAP) and even confirmed password was ok.
But now 4 problems are occurring
1. Recieve messages not working (but i dont get any error message?)
2. When I try to send a message it comes up with >>> Sending of message failed. An error occurred sending mail: Could not get password for smtp.googlemail.com. The message was not sent. .
3. When i try to delete a the email account and then re- create it and will not display again in the Thunderbird Menu view eventhough its confirms the GMAIL account is correctly configured and password is ok
Need Help ?....I am totally lost ???? I even tried to reinstalling Thunderbird but that did not seem to fix the problem
Please explain very simply as I am not tech savvy
Thank you

I keep getting the error message:

I keep getting the error message:
The MobileMe IMAP server “p01-imap.mail.me.com” is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable. If you continue, you might not be able to receive messages.
I am trying to set up my mac mail. It used to work fine and all of a sudden it stopped working. Any suggestions as to why I cant make it work? I have tryed deleting the account and starting again but I continue to get this error message. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Andrew

Make sure all the settings, incoming and outgoing seervers and port numbers, are as this apple article.

If they are you are one of many that have problems with the apple mac mail app where all of a sudden it just stops working.
If that is the case I suggest you try a different mail program.

Hey,
No, this account is hardly 2 months old and 1802 is the total number of emails. There are other machines configured with different IDs and they seem to work fine. Some are configured with POP and some with IMAP. The machine which has the problem is the only
one with Outlook 2011 and is a Mac. So yes, I think it concerns only Outlook 2011. I currently have IMAP setup on this device, would switching to POP solve the issue? I do not mind switching to POP as I do not need all that IMAP offers me, POP fits my use
case just fine.
Your thoughts?
Thank you.
