Imap server stops working on Mail for Mac.

I have a problem with my Mail account on my Mac. It just came today without my doing anything.
The IMAP server I am using is p08-imap.mail.me.com. It gets allocated automatically. I'm suspect it is a problem with the iCloud server and not my way of connecting to it.
The me.com imap on my iPhone and iPad are functioning well. I tried turning off Mail in system preferences and turning it back on after rebooting, but to no avail. The Mail program does not want to save the password, which I entered again.

Further to my earlier post today. Deleting my BT a/c in mac mail yesterday and adding back as new A/C did not work and both my A/c and my wife's continued to time out. I finally went into the a/c settings once more, deleted my password and re-entered it and saved the change. Surprise surprise, this re-established imap contact and downloaded all my folder contents once more. Not only that, it restarted my wife's e-mail in her logiin without the need to delete and re-enter her separate E-mail password. My password is the master for using BT Broadband and somewhere this had got lost/ corrupted in requesting imap mail to our iMac. I hope this is a permanent solution and hope this helps others whose imap service fails.

Is the Upload to Server feature working in CS6 for Mac . . . or any of the export modules?

No, unfortunately the photomerge ui plugin will not work in photoshop cs6 on the mac side.
You can always use photoshop cs5 for those times when you really need it.
In photoshop cs6 you could align your photos manually as best you can, then select all the layers and go to Edit>Auto-Blend Layers>Panorama with Seamless Tones and Colors checked

My incoming mail server stopped working for the 3rd time Help?

This is the third time my incoming mail server stopped working any suggestions on how to repair this?
Thank You!

If Apple replaced the logic board three times for the same issue, and the third board has now broken for the same reason, you may be able to ask Apple for a replacement machine. You're out of warranty, and Apple is under no obligation to do anything for you (unless the current logic board was replaced by Apple less than 90 days ago in which case it's still under warranty), however, as a good will gesture, they may be willing to exchange your system for another one. You can start at the Apple store or call Apple customer care directly.

Mail for MAC - Unable to handle 2 accounts pointing to the same server

Hi,
I have two accounts on MAIL pointing to the same server.
I am unable to send/receive mails from one of them, since they both point to the same SMTP server.
Is this a restriction on MAIL for MAC?
How does one over come this.
I'd written to Apple support and even made an update suggestion.
But obviously they dont care. It''s been over 8 months since I wrote.
And I am seriously going MAD with this problem!
I've even switched 3 ISP.
Please help.

Hi BobTheFisherman,
Thanks for responding.
So while I understand how mails work on mail servers with UID's and PWD's ...Here's the deal.
When setting up an account, MAIL asks for the SMTP profile setting, (which includes the SMTP mail server). It then creates the SMTP profile.
So if I have two accounts, I set up account 1 with the mail.xxx.com as mail server.
While setting up the second account, I again use mail.xxx.com (as the SMTP server)
So when if I have set up account 1 as the first account with the SMTP server ... while sending mail from the second account, it takes the the settings of account 1, and then the mail reply comes to account 1 instead of account two.
Does this explain my problem?
Do let me know, cause I reall need an solution.
Thanks again.

Imap gmail stopped working

my imap gmail stopped working on both my wifes ipad and my iphone sometime this evening 10 july 2013. says cannot connect to imap server and recommends checking settings. i noticed a similar problem occurred once in 2012. Is Apple working on this?

IMAP stopped working on mine as well as two of my employees Macs. Two Google Apps Business accounts and one regular Gmail account. Gmail was down this morning so it might have something to with it. However, accessing mail through the web interface works fine. So something to do with IMAP.

Can't get Godaddy outgoing server to work in Mail - OK in Outlook

No matter what I try, I just cannot get the Godaddy outgoing server to work in Mail, but it works OK in Outlook for Mac which I don't really want to use if I can avoid it.
I've tried all my 3 accounts and none of them work with sending. All Ok receiving.
Tried smtpout.secureserver.net with and without SSL, and with all sorts of ports 80, 3535, etc.
Nothing works.
Can anyone suggest any solution or more in depth troubleshooting methods. I feel it's some security issue which Outlook seems to have more settings for.
Thanks.

Just for clarification for the OP these are two different approaches to get to the same file.
1.)While holding down the option key, >>Shows the hidden users Library (~/Library.)
or
2.) select Finder>Go>Go To Folder from the Finder menu bar. Paste the line into the window
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Using the Go to Folder option will take you directly to the file itself in your user Library (~/Library,) no option key necessary.

Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
AND if you are recommending moving the entire folder you are better off going to the /Container:

Safari stops working. Mail won't work with Safari running. Now iTunes can't find my phone. If I restart and do one thing at a time it helps but still not reliable. All software on my iMac is up to date.

I have a new iMac and iPhone 4.0. All software is up to date and I have installed the free beta version of Mountain Lion which let me use iChat on my computer. Safari intermittently stops working. Mail won't access my mailboxes if Safari is running. Now iTunes won't find my iPhone when it's locked and in a dock charging. If I restart I can do 1 thing at a time, but I can't have Safari running and use Mail. I've emptied my cache, checked my passwords. It's none of that. By process of elimination, there is some kind of conflict between using multiple applications on the Internet at the same time. Sometimes after I've gone to several Internet sites Safari will stop working properly even though all other applications have been "quit".

Oops. You installed the beta Mountain Lion on your main hard disk? Usually most people install it on a secondary or external hard drive. Your situation should actually be posted on the Developer web site for Moutnain Lion and not here. All I can suggest here is to run repair permissions and restart. Sorry.

Mail for Mac on new hard drive won't import Mail from old hd

I recently installed an additional hard drive (running Tiger), but I kept my old one (running Panther), too, to use as a backup.
After resolving a few snags, the data and apps transferred over OK, but two days ago I (very foolishly) tried to make a change in the name I use as Administrator (or at least that's what I meant to do), and all the apps on my new hard drive forgot their passwords, preferences, etc.
What a pain!
I'll eventually get all the preferences, etc., set; but Mail on the new hd also lost everything--addresses, trash, sent messages; and that's got me baffled.
My old hd still has Mail on it (including addresses, etc.), but I haven't been able to import data from it to Mail on the new hd.
In the new Mail, under the File menu, when I choose "Import Mailboxes" and select the button for Mail for Mac OS X, then navigate to Mail on my old hd, it's faint and can't be selected.
Suggestions of any kind would really be appreciated. (And from now on, I'll just live with my name being misspelled as Administrator!)
Thanks a lot,
Richard

Richard,
Welcome to the Discussions.
When trying to import a pre-Tiger mailbox created with Mail, use type "Other", instead of type OSX.
However, if you can replace any copy of the Mail folder on your Tiger drive, and any com.apple.mail.plist in the Preferences folder of your Tiger drive with copies from your Panther drive, Mail will open to say it is ready to import Mailboxes, and will then convert all the mailboxes at once.
However when finished, you will need to check for leftover files, that can become problematic, and to check to see if full conversion took place. See:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=413196
