IMAP, POP, Server, iPhone, Oh My!

My head is now swimming as I try to understand how the iPhone integrates into the rest of my eMail synchronization scheme.
Searching the forums and support articles has been a frustrating endeavor, so hopefully this thread will serve as a directional beacon to an otherwise highly confusing topic. I'm looking for definitive answers to the following questions.
Starting with the .Mac IMAP settings:
Now that I have an iPhone, my e-mail is synchronized between it, the .Mac server and my MacBook. Which means anything I create on my MacBook is mirrored on my iPhone? So anything I do on the iPhone is also mirrored on my MacBook?
How do the Advanced Mailbox Behaviors settings on the iPhone affect this relationship?
For Drafts Mailbox, Sent Mailbox & Deleted Mailbox, I have the choice to keep them On My iPhone or On The Server. If I keep them on my iPhone, does that mean they never go to the Server and consequently my MacBook?
Then I have the choice of Deleted Messages to Remove: Never or various intervals. If I choose to keep my Deleted Mailbox on the iPhone, does that mean the server never knows I have deleted an e-mail on the iPhone?
So the Deleted Messages applies only to the settings assigned the Deleted Mailbox on the iPhone?
Then if I adjust the Deleted Messages settings to remove messages after one day that are stored on my iPhone, then only the messages downloaded to my iPhone will be deleted, but the original message on the server will not be touched until I delete it on my MacBook?
Moving on to Yahoo IMAP & POP:
If I am using Yahoo IMAP Push server on the iPhone, then all of my Yahoo mailboxes are duplicated on the iPhone. The same questions as .Mac IMAP above apply.
HOWEVER, on the MacBook, the Yahoo account is POP only. So nothing I do on the iPhone will affect my MacBook Mail, correct?
Only the mail kept on the server will be affected by what I do on my iPhone?
So, if I have the iPhone set to store Deleted Mailbox on the Yahoo server and Deleted Messages to delete them every day, then a message deleted from my iPhone could wipe it off the server before my MacBook has a chance to download it?
So the only way to avoid that is to keep Deleted Mailbox on the iPhone?
As for Drafts, Sent and Deleted Mailboxes managed between POP and IMAP Mail clients, I'm guessing that even if the iPhone keeps them on the Yahoo server, that there is no way to download them to MacBook's Mail using POP?
The only way to get messages sent from the iPhone Mail into the MacBook Mail using a POP account is to use the cc: function?
If this information is clearly stated somewhere else, I would greatly appreciate a pointer to it.
A clear step-by-step discussion of the consequences of setting each of the iPhone's Advanced Mail features would be be most welcome.

Here's one clarification with Yahoo Push IMAP & POP
FIRST: IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW All ATT.YAHOO ACCOUNTS WILL WORK WITH YAHOO PUSH SERVER. Both Apple & ATT have been setting their customers up with the standard home use POP accounts. This works with all legacy accounts too: Pacbell.net, SBCGlobal.net, etc.
Whatever you do on the iPhone, no matter what settings you have, will change the Yahoo IMAP server. When you delete an e-mail it goes to the Trash and is removed from the Inbox on the server as well as the iPhone. Therefore, it is not available for download via your desktop mail POP account. In order to ensure an e-mail is available for download on your desktop mail client, DO NOT DELETE an e-mail. Since your desktop POP client settings will change the information on the IMAP server as well, basically all you need to do is nothing. Leave your trash on the server and set it for NEVER delete. Your desktop will do everything else. Obviously if you delete junk mail or something else you don't want to keep on your iPhone, it saves your desktop some trouble. As for where to keep Drafts and Sent mail, THEY DO NOT synchronize with a POP client. Therefore, it is probably best to keep them on your iPhone so you have access to them on an airplane or other location where you can't access the server.
.MAC IMAP is similar except whatever you do on either side of the server will be copied to the other instantaneously. Changing the stored location of SENT, DRAFTS & TRASH will also move them on the server. So there is no way to manage IMAP messages on your phone or computer independently and ensure the messages will still be available for the other. UNLIKE POP, which can be configured to remove an e-mail from the server after a period of time once it's been downloaded, the e-mail will have to be manually managed on the iPhone. Which seems best to be done by the number of messages retrievable into the iPhone. So it just now occurs to me that every e-mail in my Inbox on my Mac is also still on the server. Which would be great I suppose, BUT, UNLIKE OS X Mail and other applications, there is no way on the iPhone to search the messages on the server to find what you are looking for. So they are just taking up space on the server they don't need to be.
Keeping SENT and DRAFTS on the iPhone is also problematic as they do not synchronize with the desktop as backup transactions from the iPhone. The BIGGEST flaw with all of this is there is only one MASTER setting the CC rules. You either CC yourself on every e-mail sent from the iPhone, or none of them. So when you have a POP account and a .Mac account, the CC is great for sending yourself a backup from the POP account. But it's redundant on the .Mac account. And I suppose on the Yahoo IMAP account since you could use the iPhone to move sent messages into the Inbox to be downloaded on the desktop (but that seems like a whole lot of trouble so why not just CC yourself). It would be nice if you could choose whether to CC yourself for each Mailbox, rather than all of them.
So, while far easier than anything else I have ever used, the iPhone is far from simple. It seems that after some frustrating testing I now understand the iPhone's settings and how they work with my MacBook, but the main thing anyone should note is that considerable caution must be used to avoid losing any data between home and mobile as well understand the limitations.
IF I HAVE ANY PART OF THIS WRONG, Please don't hesitate to correct me.

Wildcard Certificate use in Sun Java System Messaging Server (IMAPs/POPs)

I'm trying to use a wildcard certificate acquired from GlobalSign and am having problems getting
it (properly) into the cert database.
I tried using certutil, and that didn't seem to work at all, it would list without user cert status:
rmorneau+root@mmp1:/var/opt/SUNWmsgsr/config# /opt/SUNWmsgsr/sbin/certutil -L -d .
GlobalSign-Ext-CA CT,c,
*.xxxxxxxxxxx.edu ,,
I had some success using msgcert and pk12util, but after importing it in, then seeing that it did
have user cert status, after a quick restart of Messaging (IMAP/POP), SSL quit for IMAP and kicked all
my IMAPs users out temporarily (until I put the original cert8.db and key3.db back).
-------- ImapProxy_20101115.log----
20101115 135531 ImapProxyAService.cfg (id 2590) SSL negotiation failed for IP XXX.XXX.X.XXX: Cannot connect: SSL is disabled. (-12268)

I truly appreciate any help on this matter.

2. Does the certificate nickname in NSS match the configured certificate nickname in the product?I'm not sure, but I'll try that the next time I try this... will probably be late at night were I won't be interrupting IMAPs and POPs
Makes sense. Prior to release 7 update 4, the servers have to be shut down before modifying certificate databases. As of 7 update 4 you can do a one-time migration to the cert9.db/key4.db format that >should allow certificates to be updated without taking the servers offline.
This was in the log just before the other log entry that I showed before.
20101115 135440 ImapProxyAService.cfg ASockSSL_Init: couldn't find cert imap.xxxxxxxxx.edu (-8174)
This is the key line from the log. The server is looking for a certificate with the NSS certificate nickname of 'imap.xxxxxxxxx.edu' and is not finding that certificate so issue 2 is likely the problem.Yes, this was it. Oversite on my part, forgot they had to match and could not be a form of just domainname.edu or *domainname.edu.
You either need to modify the default:SSLCertNicknames setting to match the nickname of the new certificate, or install the new certificate using the existing certificate nickname of 'imap.xxxxxxxxx.edu'I modified the default:SSLCertNicknames setting.
Thank you CNewman very much for all your help.
And, for those trolling for an answer with more detail via an Internet search (that is, if Oracle doesn't screw up these forums for anon searches)::::
With the private key in hand (not password protected), I used 'openssl' to get it into a pkcs12 type file:
(It is best to do this as root and not as sudo root as you might run into problems if your host
does not have root power to write to your home dir on the/a NFS share.... you will get "unable to write 'random state'".)
root@mmp1:/var/opt/SUNWmsgsr/config/GlobalSign-certs-new# /usr/sfw/bin/openssl pkcs12 -export \
-in ket-wildcard-cert.pem -inkey private.key -out cert.pkcs12 -name xxxxxxxxx.edu
Enter Export Password:
Verifying - Enter Export Password:
Where "private.key" is the key file, and "ket-wildcard-cert.pem" is the (pem format) cert from our cert provider,
and cert.pkcs12 is our cert file that will be imported into the database, and xxxxxxxxx.edu is whatever you (nick)name your cert
in the database
(I think you could use a password protected private key if you have that password.. I don't.)
Next, I used 'msgcert' to import the pkcs12 cert file into the database (I'm sure there is a way
to use certutil or even pk12util to do the same, but I'm on Sun Messenger 6.3 at this time, so that's what I used.
If someone would like to elaborate for those....?):
(It is best, when using 'msgcert', to do it where your mailsrv user has some privs.. I took my pkcs12 cert and moved into /tmp.)
root@mmp1:/tmp# /opt/SUNWmsgsr/sbin/msgcert import-cert cert.pkcs12
Enter the PKCS#12 file password: (blank)
Enter the certificate database password: (token password in sslpassword.conf)
Make sure your (wildcard) cert nickname matches what you have in
ImapProxyAService.cfg and PopProxyAService.cfg at the "default:SSLCertNicknames" field.
Edit if need be.
root@mmp1:/var/opt/SUNWmsgsr/config# /opt/SUNWmsgsr/sbin/certutil -L -d .
GlobalSign-Ext-CA CT,c,
xxxxxxxxx.edu u,u,u
root@mmp1:/var/opt/SUNWmsgsr/config# grep default:SSLCertNicknames *AService.cfg
ImapProxyAService.cfg:default:SSLCertNicknames xxxxxxxxx.edu
PopProxyAService.cfg:default:SSLCertNicknames xxxxxxxxx.edu
Then, of course, restart the msg service(s).

Eliminating Junk Mail on Iphone using an IMAP mail server

Hello!
Doesn't sound like there is a fix for this, but its always worth asking...,
I currently have my own IMAP email server with my company on an XServe. When I receive mail on my Iphone it bypasses all my post-server junk mail rules on my powerbook Apple Mail app, and loads up my inbox. I don't keep my powerbook on all the time to filter it before I open it on my Iphone, although I do use Apple Mail as my mail client.
Is there any way to echo the junk mail rules from my Laptop to my Iphone. The volume of junk I receive after makes the Iphone's mail app cumbersome. I also need to filter out web order confirmations for my business, which normally go right to a selected folder using a mail rule.
Thanks!

Is there any way to echo the junk mail rules from my Laptop to my Iphone.
Yes, by leaving the Mail.app on your PowerBook launched and running actively accessing your account for new messages where a junk mail filter and any rules are available. With an IMAP account, all server stored mailboxes are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account. In order for your account accessed with the iPhone's Mail client to have access to the junk mail filter and the rules with the Mail.app on your PowerBook by proxy, you need to leave the Mail.app on your PowerBook launched and running actively accessing the account for new messages while the Mail client on your iPhone is doing the same.
If you receive that much junk mail with this account, more than likely you have inadvertently added to the problem. Do you have display remote images in HTML messages selected with the Mail.app on your Mac? If so, when a junk message that is not marked as junk when received includes images that must be rendered from a remote server to be viewed and any images are rendered, this confirms to the spammer that your email address is "known good" causing even more spam to be received. Selecting any links included with a junk message will do the same. Selecting a "remove me" link to remove your email address from the spammer's circulation list also does the same.
Providing your email address publicly for any reason - when making an online purchase, for website access is required, provided when filling out customer information, etc., etc., can cause more spam to be received.
My primary personal email address is used to exchange email with family and friends only. I never provide this email address publicly for any reason.
I use a free account with webmail access only for an online purchase and/or to be provided publicly.

iCloud Mail Server Settings

HT5361 Why can't Mail log into my POP server any more?

I have OSX 10.8.5 running on my 2009 MacBook Pro. Have been using the same two email POP addresses and account details unchanged for over 10 years.
A little while ago, the laptop stopped sending emails. It would receive emails but not send them, saying the password or account information was not correct. I removed, checked and replaced all the account information to no avail. Eventually, I deleted the accounts and then tried to reinstall them afresh but that is impossible because the computer says “Logging in to the POP server…failed. Make sure user name and password are correct.” They clearly are correct as they work perfectly on my iMac, iPad and iPhone.
So far as I call recall the only changes I have made recently are upgrading to Mountain Lion (10.8.5), installing DropBox and installing Avast anti-virus. The system has been horribly slow for a few months but is marginally better over the last 48 hours.
Can anyone work out what has gone wrong?

ssls6
Thank you for responding.
I have had Avast on my iMac and on my wife's iMac for over a year. Up to now I have had no reason to believe it causes a problem though everything is slower. It seems to pick up large numbers of infected files. Mostly these are Windows style bugs and so (hopefully) not dangerous to Macs but not all of them are. If you do not use any AntiVirus software, are you not taking a significant risk?
Thank you for the advice on iCloud IMAP. I will talk to my email service provider tomorrow. But you raise another issue. All my devices are synchronised through Apple's iCloud which should mean all my mail settings too. So, why is one device not playing the game? What, if anything, have I done to cause the problem and what can I do to restore the situation? My MacBook is the only one on Mountain Lion. Could that be the issue?

IMAP & POP E-Mail on two devices?

I have a quick question, mostly for those who understand the inner-workings of the two systems fairly well. I am using IMAP on my laptop to connect with my personal E-mail account. I am also using it on my iPhone, but you can't sync subfolders in IMAP on the iPhone without navigating to each individual folder.
If I am still using IMAP from my Mail.app, and I have server-side rules set up on my E-Mail server to route mail to the appropriate folders, when I use POP, will I only get the E-mails that are remaining in the Inbox, or everything that has arrived, regardless of what folders it has been placed in using the server rules?
Part of my problem is I have a ton of mail that is not critical to be read constantly. However, some I do want to read on my iPhone when I am remote. So I was hoping to be able to use server rules to filter E-Mail to the appropriate folder, and use POP on the iPhone (with the setting set to never delete from the server) to get everything else.
Will this work, or am I going to still get everything that has been sent, regardless of the IMAP rules on the server?
Thanks,
Mike

IMAP/POP set up

I am trying to set up a new account using imap or pop when i enter all the details and hit save, i am getting a screen that says verifying IMPA server information or POP server information and it sits in that screen until my screen saver comes up, once i go in it stills ame screen soi hit save again and remains in the same screen, i shut the power off and rebooted but no resolutions, any help?
much appreciated

This doesn't answer my question if the email account provider for the account supports accessing the account as a POP or IMAP account.
I answer it for you. More than likely the email account provider supports accessing the account as a POP account only and if so, you are wasting your time trying to create and access the account as an IMAP account.
Here are some other questions that I don't expect you to answer either. Are you accessing the account as a POP account with the email client on your computer - with Windoze Outlook or Outlook Express and if so, are you using the same account settings when creating the account with the iPhone's Mail client? If you are accessing the account as a POP account with the email client on your computer and you were able to create and access the account as a POP account with the iPhone's Mail client yesterday, why would you delete and try to re-create the account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's Mail client?

Someone please help the technology jargon-********.

When selecting "Other" to create an email account, the first screen provided is for entering your Name, email address, password for the account, and the Description or name for the account.
After pressing Save, at the next screen is when you select the account type - IMAP or POP, which are the only options for the account type when selecting "Other" to create an email account.
And below selecting either IMAP or POP for the account type is where you enter the incoming mail server and outgoing mail server info.
The Gmail 'configuring for iPhone" page must have screenshots from an earlier firmware version. This was modified somewhat with a later firmware version - possibly with 2.0.

Apple Mail Pop Server Configuration

Hi all,
It's not often I post on here but here we go. I have been using Macs ever since the Lisa Electronic Office and have always been perplexed by one strange quirk of the Apple Mail account configuration process. This quirk is now becoming extremely troublesome.
I use BT/Yahoo (I'm not talking about the famous password rejection problem). One main account and several sub-accounts which, for all intents and purposes, can be considered as separate accounts.
Now the problem arises because, while each has a separate email address, they all use the same pop server settings. ie. mail.btinternet.com.
Mail will not allow me to use two accounts with the same pop settings. I can set up and verify the account (doesn't stay on-line because SSL is set and the port is wrong) but when I come make a change and save it I get the message:
Invalid Directory
The account path /Users/fredbloggs/Library/Mail/V2/[email protected]@mail.btinternet.com is already being used by the account “Another One”
Obviously I've changed the account names. Another One is one of my other accounts. I've got one working by using pop.btinternet.com but I've run out of working aliases. I should be able to set up 10 sub accounts and access them all with Apple Mail. IMAP works OK but that is something I don't wish to use for a number of reasons.
Anybody else come across this?
I can do all this with Entourage (horrible) and Outlook which I do not intend to buy. Why does Apple make life so difficult sometimes?

OK Folks,
To save confusion and to all those people who think I am using the same email address for everything, here they are.
     British Telecomm Residential
          [email protected]          (USAAF 381st Bomb Group Heavy)
          [email protected]     (My company)
          [email protected]          (Master Account for everything else)
     British Telecomm Business
          [email protected]          BT Business E-Mail - I don't use
     Others I have are:
          [email protected]
          [email protected]
          [email protected]
[email protected] currently exists as an IMAP account which works but something I would rather not have.
As you can see, they are all separate and distinct.
As I said before, all hese work just fine with Entourage (nasty and a dead product) and Outlook (something I'm not prepared to buy when the Apple offering should do it all for me and integrates really nicely with iCal, Address Book, Notes etc.
Thank you everybody for trying to help and thanks Defcom but, as you thought, that article is really old hat now.
I am now going to open a large bottle and sit in that darkened room.
If I now get flooded with spam, I know where it's come from.
Goodnight, Good Morning or G'Day depending on where you're from..

Mail problem accessing Novell POP server

This one is both complicated and puzzling, and I sure would appreciate a solution.
We use Novell Groupwise for email. It allows both POP and IMAP access.
Two weeks ago, I stopped being able to access mail from the servers using either POP or IMAP from both home and office. Simultaneously, almost. At home I was using Mail, at the office Eudora.
After the usual tinkering, I got both home and office working with Mail through POP. That lasted a few days.
Yesterday, POP stopped working at the office. Then, at one point, it worked, and the day's mail came in all at once. Then it stopped working. I went home. I got a lot of mail when I checked in. Then it stopped. Today, I've gotten no mail at the office from the POP server.
Mail is communicating with the server. When I put the wrong password in, it lets me know it was not accepted. I don't get that message with the right password.
My IT people say the mail server is functioning properly, and that no one else who uses Mail is having similar problems. I've checked all the settings, and they are as they should be.
I recently upgraded to 10.4.1.11.
Does this sound like a problem anyone has seen before?

Thanks to infinite vortex. Changing the frequency from five to fifteen minutes seems to have solved the problem, at least so far. Curious--but not surprising--that I could find nothing about such a limit anywhere on Cox's web site, nor was this mentioned by their tech support in a series of exchanges trying to resolve the problem.

Mail 4.5 not retrieving catch-all mail from Pop Server.

I use email fowarding for a domain (hosted at Godaddy) to forward to my verizon email account. For example: [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] are forwarded to [email protected] The Mail 4.5 client on my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.6.8) retrieves all this forwarded email correctly from the Verizon Pop3 server.
I also have one of the domain email aliases setup as a catch-all account. For example [email protected] is configured as the catch all. Mail addressed to [email protected] is also retrieved from the Pop3 server correctly.
But any mail directed to the catch-all account because the email address is invalid such as [email protected] is not retrieved by Mail 4.5 client.
The 'catch-all' email is being forwarded correctly to my Verizon Pop server. If I log in to Verizon Webmail I can see the forwarded 'catch-all' emails in the Webmail Inbox. Also if I use Outlook 2010 on my PC to retrieve my Pop mail, it correctly brings down the 'catch-all' email.
It certainly appears like something internal to Apple Mail is filtering the 'catch-all' email and not retrieving it from the Pop3 Server.
If you can understand what I'm trying to report - can you help me figure out what is wrong?

I now do want to catch all email as it has become my lives work to report spam.
So I figured out an easier way to catch all email using simply the serveradmin command-line tool (this only takes email that would otherwise bounce):
sudo serveradmin settings mail:imap:lmtp_luser_relay_enabled = yes
sudo serveradmin settings mail:imap:lmtp_luser_relay = catchallusername
sudo postfix reload

Setting up Mail on iPod Touch with a POP server

I can create an email account setup on my iPod Touch using my ISPs' POP connection. However if I go onto my wifes' MacBook or my MacBook Pro under Mail it shows the messages as still being unread. Is there any solution to this issue, so that once I read an email on my iPod Touch it will also show read (or deleted for that matter) on my other Macs?

Hey bluespower,
The messages on the POP server cannot be marked as read in Mail on your mac after being read on the iPod touch. This is a limitation of a POP email account. You can setup an IMAP account with .Mac, Gmail, or Yahoo! and have this feature. This article will provide more information: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=51729
If you goto Settings> Mail> tap the account> Advanced, you'll see options for deleting emails from the server using the iPod touch.
