IMAP Issues using between mail/iphone - godaddy hosted

I just got email for my domain that is hosted with godaddy. I have IMAP and have set it up properly regarding the settings.
When I send myself an email and read it on my iphone it doesn't show as read on apple mail? If I close and reopen apple mail it shows as read????
If I do it in reverse and read it on apple mail it shows as read on the iphone. Very strange, need help!!!

Right, I've just had a mess around with the settings and have deleted the original mailbox from my account. Then I followed the steps on this blog - http://www.illusion-interactive.com/content/how-sync-hotmail-ios7-using-imap (which I didn't need to go quite as far as it seemed to do all the advanced settings input automatically).
After a quick test I can confirm it now works! For some reason my Hotmail account set up on the iPhone was set to POP3 rather than IMAP.
Thanks to your heads up though I managed to get it sorted. Cheers!

IMAP issues in Lion Mail.app?

Hello...I've been dealing with a snarky email issue with Lion Mail.app for several months. The issue is that Lion Mail does not have the same email counts as the corresponding web mail server for that account shows, either grand total, or folder by folder.
Snow Leopard Mail, and Tiger Mail DO agree with the web server, and Thunderbird 8.0 installed in Lion does agree exactly with web mail.
Based on these observations, a lot of testing, and several deleting of email accounts and re-setting them up again, my feeling is that there is something wrong with Lion Mail.app's ability to handle IMAP
I certainly do like the Mail.app and it's my first choice, but I need to see an accurate view of my mail. Lion's Mail simply isn't giving it to me.
Any thoughts from those who've had an experience like this with Lion Mail.app? If you've had this problem and fixed it, how DID you fix it?
Thank you,
ray

Email sync issues between Mail & iPhone 5s

Hi guys, hopefully you can shed some light on the current situation I've got.
I used to have an iPhone 4s, and when I received an email on my iMac or iPhone, if it was deleted from one device, the change was synced between both devices so that it was also deleted on the other.
Here's a small diagram to show what I mean:
RECEIVE EMAIL ON IPHONE > DELETE ON IPHONE > EMAIL ALSO DELETED ON IMAC
RECEIVE EMAIL ON IMAC > DELETE ON IMAC > EMAIL ALSO DELETED ON IPHONE
You probably grasped that without the need of that pointless diagram, but it's there anyway in case you need it. Now, I recently upgraded to the iPhone 5s, set it up with the same apple id and copied over a backup from the previous phone. HOWEVER, now my emails don't sync between both devices and I can't figure out why? It now means I get emails through no problem on both the iMac and iPhone, but have to then delete both instances of the mail on both devices in order to de-clutter my inbox. Which is extremely annoying as sometimes I may not view emails on the mac so I end up having 100 emails that I already have read or deleted and need to delete them a second time.
Can anyone help with this predicament as I can't seem to get the issue solved!?
For extra information, I'm using both a Hotmail account and a GoDaddy email account and the problem is happening on both inboxes. Thank you!!!

Email password being rejected using Mac mail

I have a strange issue using mac mail on a mac mini running snow leopard. It is actually my Mom's computer. She calls me over from time to time when her email gives her problems. Usually it amounts to resetting the modem or some other simple fix. Today however not so easy!
This issue came up out of the blue earlier this week. A message came from mail asking her to re-enter her password since the server (charter.net) was rejecting it. She attempted to re-enter it along with a variety of other addresses she had written down and eventually gave up. In this process she also restarted her modem. Today is Friday so it's been a few days with no connection to her email server. This is all her recounting so I am not certain exactly what transpired.
I confirmed a conection with the internet first. re-entered the correct password and got the same message. Then I tried the Username & password via a web interface and got in first try. So I started up an old email client (Entourage) that had been set up from years ago (as a POP account) and it to accessed the server with no problem. At that point I deleted the account in mac mail & recreated it...same message. I then reset the keycahin and deleted/recreated the account again...same message. To rule out POP vs IMAP I tried creating a POP account in mac mail since the original was IMAP....same message. I am at a loss.
For now I reintroduced her to Entourage so she could access her mail. It was abbandoned a couple of years ago since it had been the source of too much confusion for her (she tends to click on things changing views etc without realizing how or what she has done).
Until this, the simplicity of mac mail was working pretty well for her.
Any ideas of what the cause might be or what else I could try would be appreciated.

I installed iCloud on the iPad
K, that wasn't clear in your original posting. You left that part out.
Are you saying this would be fixed if I upgraded to Mountain Lion?
That is not what I said. What I should have said is that the OS requirements for iCloud are Lion & Mountain Lion.
The following are keychain troubleshooting that you may wish to try: Use Spotlight to search for a file called login.keychain.
Users/YourUserName/Library(which is a hidden folder and won't show in Finder)/Keychains.
Click Go in the menu bar then Go to Folder and type in /Users/YourUserName/Library and hit the enter key. Look down the list of folder and find Keychains. The "login.keychain" file should be inside.
Cures for a funky keychain

How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?

This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.

I am having an issue using OS X Mail for email via IMAP

Hi there. I am trying to use OS X Mail to set up email via IMAP for Business Catalyst email, but I am getting an error when trying to connect to the IMAP server on port 143. The Mail application connection doctor points to the incoming mail server as the problem. SMTP seems to connect just fine. I have also tried to connect via multiple ISPs and am getting the same issue. All of my setup information looks to be just fine. Any suggestions? I am using OS X 10.9.3.

I am having the same issue with Mac Mail — Version 7.3 (1878.6) running OS 10.9.4. All of the settings look correct with the correct ports, servers, and no SSL. I've not been able to find a solution elsewhere online.

GoDaddy IMAP issue with "Sent Items"

There's some long standing issues with GoDaddy IMAP and Apple Mail. GoDaddy is using Courier-IMAP 3.1.0.5. The worst of the issues seems to be the fact that if you store your Sent Items on the Server, your log gets spammed with these two message (I'm removed the call stack) over and over and it also seems to degrade performance while Mail tries to traverse the folder hierarchy even though on the surface everything seems to be working. Mail is spending an inordinate amount of time trying to create this "Sent_Items" mailbox and then failing... over and over...
Aug 11 09:32:04 seven Mail[9613]: *** Assertion failure in -[IMAPAccount _IMAPMailboxForMailboxUid:name:createIfNeeded:], /SourceCache/Message/Message-1244.3/Accounts.subproj/IMAPAccount.m:1336
Expected mailboxUid for Sent_Items
Aug 11 09:32:04 seven Mail[9613]: *** Assertion failure in -[IMAPAccount _IMAPMailboxForMailboxUid:name:createIfNeeded:], /SourceCache/Message/Message-1244.3/Accounts.subproj/IMAPAccount.m:1344
Didn't create IMAPMailbox for (null)
Seems to me the reason this is happening has something to do with the fact that the "Sent Items" system folder is internally referenced as "Sent_Items" and they are being treated as synonyms for each other on the IMAP side while Apple Mail is seeing them as 2 different folders and failing when it thinks it needs to create the Sent_Items folder on the server.
I'm willing to accept that I could be completely wrong about this, or I could be right, but neither GoDaddy or Apple side seems interested in looking into it and it's very frustrating. Here's why I think it might have something to do with it:

If you login to the GoDaddy webmail system and bring up the properties of the "Sent Items" folder, it's referenced as "INBOX.Sent_Items" and it's the only folder whose internal name doesn't match the name given in the LIST command.
I really wish that someone from Apple or someone from GoDaddy would take a look at this seemingly simple thing to fix and just make it work. It appears to not be an issue for other IMAP clients, or on the iOS devices, though I suppose that my iPhone could be logging all this same stuff internally.
Hopefully GoDaddyGuy will come to the rescue once again and get this resolved. If anyone has been able to actually store their Sent Items in the Sent Items system folder and not get this message over and over, let me know. This has nothing to do with the IDLE command or "Use this mailbox for..." or IMAP prefix (which if you run the NAMESPACE command isn't defined) or any other suggestions that have been given previously. I've already exhausted all the different combinations.

A hint if you use multiple mail clients to check one IMAP account

FYI:
Mail.app in leopard turns on an advanced "push" mail feature automatically, called IDLE. This can cause strange problems when you use multiple IMAP clients to access you IMAP server.
For instance, I have a computer in my office and one in my lab. Normally Mail.app is running on them both constantly. After installing Leopard I would sit in my office delete and move messages from my INBOX, and when I went down to the lab I would find those emails still in my INBOX and also in the mailboxes I had moved them to on my office machine. In very short order I ended up with multiple copies of emails in many places and no ability to actually delete mail.
Originally I thought this was a bug with Leopard Mail.app, or a problem with compatibility between Mail.app and the UW IMAP server that I use. I wasted significant time searching on the web for possible solutions.
It turns out that the IDLE feature (that is automatically turned on for you in Leopard) was the cause of my problems. Turning this feature off (in the Advanced pane of the accounts setting) on EACH machine caused me email to return to its previous functional state.
If you only use one IMAP mail client the IDLE feature is nice, it pushes new mail to you as soon as the IMAP server receives the new mail.
(note -- IDLE is also automatically turned on in Thunderbird)

Assuming you're on a NAT'd network, DNS services can cause all sorts of weird errors with the mail server, including spontaneous name changes.
To verify local DNS services, launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities and issue the following harmless diagnostic message:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
You'll need to enter an administrative password for the sudo, might see a one-time informational message around the usage of sudo, then you'll see some host and network configuration information, and finally an indication that either no changes are required, or that there are local DNS or the network has configuration issues. Also, make sure you're not using .local or .arpa as the top-level domain within the DNS services.
Public DNS for the mail server can also cause communications issues, if that's not configured correctly — that won't cause the issue you're seeing in the logs here, but it will cause inbound mail to not reach your server, and outbound mail from your server to be dropped by the remote server. To verify your public DNS, launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities and issue the commands discussed in this thread or this thread and confirm that your internal and external MX record and your internal and external forward and reverse DNS settings are all correct.

Lion Mac Mail Yahoo IMAP issues

Each time I lauch Mac Mail on my Mac (running OS X 10.7.4), it downloads my entire inbox (thousands of messages) from the Yahoo IMAP mail server. Also, when sending emails, Mac Mail does not always create a copy on the Yahoo mail server. Sometime the copy is there and sometime it isn't.
Anyone else having this issue?

This is definitely not Yahoo-specific, nor is it new. Definitely seems to be a bug in Mail.app. This has been happening at least since 10.5 (am now on 10.8.2), and I have a GoDaddy hosted IMAP account.
Same symptoms...I delete emails on my Mac in Mail.app. I've gotten into the habit of forcing a manual sync. The emails disappear from the Mac, but several minutes or sometimes many minutes later, if I look on my iPhone or iPad, the messages have not been deleted. If I subsequently go look on my Mac, or at the server through a webmail browser - they're back.
However, if I delete the emails from my iPhone or iPad - they really do get deleted.
As stated up above - quitting and reopening Mail.app can force a real sync that gets things going back in sync...it seems like maybe Mail.app somehow forgets to actually sync...so when this starts happening - i.e. I notice deleted emails still appear on my iPad - if I quit mail and reopen it, it also shows the previously deleted email. So the symptoms seem like there is a "cache" of actions (deletes) in Mail.app that is not getting processed to the server. When you quit, this list seems to get flushed and whatever is causing Mail.app not to sync to the server gets remedied and on restart, the not-deleted emails show up because Mail.app now syncs with the server. Occasionally it seems Mail.app somehow can come out of this without being restarted...I'm not sure if that happens when it's "kicked" by some other event, e.g. an incoming message, to sync.
Extremely annoying.

Iphone 5 / iOS 6 IMAP issues

This is a strange one, however I see many people are reporting similar issues.
I just received my iPhone 5 last night and I'm unable to access my primary email accounts on the device via IMAP. After entering and deleting my email account multiple, tried with SSL (how I normally do it) and without SSL, etc... it continues to tell me that I'm entering the wrong username and password. (which I'm possitive is correct as I'm able to log in via webmail with no issues.)
My email accounts are run through a cpanel server, I've alternated between courier and dovecot on the server, no change. Mail logs on the server are showing that I'm getting to the server, my AT&T IP, etc... and that the password is being rejected. I'm wondering if it's doing something which the characters of the password when it trys to pass it to the server.
One addtional note, my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 both updated to iOS 6 on Sept 19th with no problems, IMAP is working normally on those devices. The issue is on my iPhone 5 only.
Any help would be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Joe

I had the same problem today with my iPhone5 and the upgrade to IOS 6.1 over my wireless network. The phone clearly saw the network, just wouldn't accept my password (which I verified in my keychain on my laptop). I reset the network on the phone per other posts, turned Airplane mode on and off, restored my phone. Still no luck. Then I went into my home office and held the phone right next to my airport extreme, and it finally took my password. Now its connected, with same strong signal it always had throughout my house. No idea why that worked but not arguing! Hope that helps.

Cannot get or send mail using Apple Mail on iPhone and iPad

Everyone in my household cannot get or send mail on their Apple Mail for iPad and iPhone. We all get the same message: "The user name or password for [account] is incorrect." This just started happening yesterday afternoon. No problems before that. I called my hosting company and Apple, and both blamed the other. My Apple system is always updated, so I have the latest version of Maverick. Had no problems with it up until now.
However, I awoke this morning to find downloaded emails in the same program, but when I go to "get mail," it says the same thing, and still won't allow me to send or receive.
Here's the kicker. I also use Gmail with the exact same accounts (yes, I need both since Apple Mail does things that Gmail doesn't, and vice versa). No problem! I get all my emails and can send with no problem. So, my hosting company claims it can't be them (makes sense). It only happens using Apple Mail, and I have several email addresses. None of them work (other than the strange phenomena of suddenly getting some of them downloaded for no apparent reason).
What do I do from here? I've changed passwords, deleted and tried to set up my emails, only to get the message that they probably will not work. And they don't. I have shut down and restarted my iPad and iPhone, to no avail.
Thank god for my Gmail account, or my business would be closed.
Again, this is happening on four devices in my home: 2 iPads and 2 iPhones.

I have a comcast account I use on my phone and use it for receiving and sending mail. When you look at the account in settings, you need to check each of these
incoming mail server: mail.comcast.net
username: the part of your email address before the @
password: your password
outgoing mail server: smtp.comcast.net
Under Advanced
Use SSL: On
Authentication: Password
Server Port: 995
If you cannot make it work from changing settings in the account, delete the account and start over. Use the "Other" setting when starting the account. It is a POP3 account and make the entries I gave you. Once you do that, it should check the entries and validate the account. You shouldn't have any trouble from there. Those settings will work from either the iPhone on cell, or wireless. Mine will even work when I'm at home on my wireless there, which is on the Comcast network.
Hope that helps you.

Multiple questions about using iWeb '09 with my Host Excellence, GoDaddy & Storenvy Accounts. Can you Help?

Hello, my name is Luis Diaz and I have always appreciated the help here in the iWeb community. I've been using iWeb for a long time. For some reason my usernames are not working lately - LuisDiazArt or RabidArt)
I updated my domain service with Host Excellence before MobileMe expired and thank you guys for the help with that. So far it's been a flawless service and because of that I'm very happy. I also have all my domains in GoDaddy. They have been very helpful
Okay I'm going to try to explain my current problem. I'm trying to create a subdomain in GoDaddy for my website: LuisDiazArt.com
I went and added a Subdomain in the Control Panel as: store.LuisDiazArt.com The subdomain suppose to mask my store: luisdiaz.storenvy.com
I thought by adding this subdomain it would make all the addresses look similar (and more clean) just in case someone gets lost along the way.
So what's happening after I waited an hour is I'm getting: http://store.luisdiazart.com/LuisDiazArt.com/Art_of_Luis_Diaz_%7C_LuisDiazArt.co m.html
I'm getting the huge and familair long addresses and it is not pointing to my store, but to the homepage.
Did I do something wrong or do I not understand something fully about subdomains? I thought you can make a subdomain point to another site. Perhaps it can't be done the way I'm thinking about this.
So to fix this issue I am thinking about making a duplicate website with a different domain name (RabidArt) and mask it with LuisDiazArt (this is site name I use on business card and everything else). After that make a subdomain with the same: http://store.luisdiazart.com
Perhaps this may fix the problem.
So to do this I may need to add another site onto my account (Basic and not Business) on HostExcellence.
So my other questions are:
Can I have multiple domains or websites using iWeb on a Basic Host Excellence Account? I checked out a few websites, but couldn't really find out if I can have multiple domains/websites using iWeb on Host Excellence with my current account.
I do know how to make a new duplicate site, but do you publish it the same way as you would with the regular site or do I have to so something different?
Hopefully the problem can be fixed not having to do a new site and maybe it was something I did wrong when I added a subdomain.

To add more domains you need to upgrade your account.
To have a sub domain for your store you need to create a separate site in iWeb and upload these files to the store.luisdiazart.com folder.
The files for the main site go in the luisdiazart folder.
Use an external hyperlink to link one to the other.

Mac Mail/iPhone mail conflict or locking issue

Greetings!
I recently an iPhone. I previously was using a Pearl with RIM's BIS setup to access my email (verizon/yahoo POP3 acct). Since I moved to the iPhone, I've noticed whenever it accesses my email account, the Mac Mail displays the pop-up window requesting the password saying the email server had rejected it. About a minute or so after the iPhone is done with the email account, I'm able to enter the password and Mac Mail can access the account.
This is a POP3 email account. I never had this issue with Mac Mail while using the Pearl, it only started after switching to the iPhone.
Config Info:
iPhone 1.0.2
iMac/OS 10.4.10
Mac Mail 2.1.1
Verizon/Yahoo Acct POP3 (incoming.yahoo.verizon.net/outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net)
Has anyone else seen this problem and is there a solution for it? I've seen a couple close hits in this forum, but no direct hits.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Lee

I consider it a bug because after the auto-retrieval on the iPhone is complete, it still retains a lock on the mailbox causing mail.app to generate that error. Once the check is complete, that lock should be released. I'm speculating on this being the source of the problem, but I have verified the behavior (not necessarily the problem) by closely observing when the problem occurs.
I had a Blackberry Pearl for over a year and while I only had used it for a short time on my iMac before I replaced it with the iPhone, I never had this issue with the Pearl. There too I had mail.app on the iMac always running.
As for this thread - my bad. When I started it I wasn't sure where the problem was (mail.app or iPhone), but I should have just picked one of the other threads. Sorry about that!

Checking one IMAP account from 2 different Macs using Mac Mail

Greetings,
New to the forums...
Have recently switched from using POP 3 account methods to IMAP (our new host provider encourages IMAPs, due to e-mail dupes showing up + more stable). Both my biz partner and I check the same accounts form both of our Macs (I check her e-mail, she checks mine, etc.). With the new IMAP accounts, sometimes we both get the same e-mails, other times one of us only gets the e-mail off the server.
Is it NOT possible to have 2 machines check the same IMAP account? (seems like that would be strange, i.e. a work at office/work from home scenario).
Assuming you CAN do this, any clues out there as to what we may be doing incorrect, set up wise?

What you're saying doesn't make much sense to me, so I might be missing something. Anyway, here it goes:
Both my biz partner and I check the same accounts
form both of our Macs (I check her e-mail, she checks
mine, etc.).
With IMAP, that means that whatever changes one of you make (i.e. reading, moving, deleting, etc.) will happen at the other side as well.
With the new IMAP accounts, sometimes we
both get the same e-mails, other times one of us only
gets the e-mail off the server.
Could it be because the message was deleted at the other side?
Is it NOT possible to have 2 machines check the same
IMAP account?
That's exactly what IMAP accounts are for...
