Imap server times out

Ever since I updated to Mavericks on one of my imap email server accounts I occasionally get this popup:
I notice when I open Mail an exclamation mark next to the name of my imap email account and upon clicking on it I get above popup. Which is in Dutch but translated roughly to:
[name email account] cannot be opend.
Time out of the connection with server 'imap.emailaccount.com' through port 143.
The exclamation mark generally goes away when I click the 'receive email' button or restart Mail.
I deleted the account and set it up again to reset it. All the values are correct as checked with my ISP.
What is this message about and how can it be fixed? It doesn't always does it. Most of the time it just works. Then every now and then I get this exclamation mark so I know something is wrong and when I click on it above screenshot. Then it goes away upon clicking on the 'receive email' button or when restarting and it continues to work again. So it's not all the time.

I am getting the same error occassional also and I am running OSX server 10.9. When I checked the mail log there is nothing that points me to a possible cause.
This is my Mail Server log:
Nov 14 09:21:22 imap-login: Info: Disconnected (client didn't finish SASL auth, waited 90 secs): user=<>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.10.1, lip=192.168.10.201, TLS

Nov 14 09:22:49 imap: Info: Server shutting down. in=1896 out=278534
What I have been doing is to restart the mini-mac server and then the matter is resolved, but it keeps re-occuring.

IMAP server times out, Why?

For 6 days now I have been having a problem acesssing my sites and email accounts. Finally the hosting company has found that it is the number of email accounts (49) trying to access the IMAP mail server at the same time?
I have disable automatic "check for new messages at start-up" and put the "Check for new messages" to nothing.
When I go the an email address and click get messages, I get "Connect to server [email protected] timed out
Trying to send and I get
"Sending of message failed.
The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server mail.1234.com timed out. Try again or contact your network administrator.
My hosting company states that it is because I am trying to open too many email accounts at the same time, and then my ISP blacklists my ip address. Only had the problem since last Friday.
Is it my ISP or hosting company, or me?
Help really appreciate to pin-point this problem.

What email server names... you must be joking they are not something I would consider anything other than a public record. Every DNS record for each site lists the mail exchanger. Email does not work if you don't. Concerned people will know your involved in some way with those 50 sites, maybe
I doubt you can stagger the opening of 50 accounts. Other than throttle your internet connection to a very low speed. IF they are imap accounts (the default) then about the only way to stop them trying to synchronize is to go into offline mode.
If they are POP accounts you could set them all up with their fetch messages setting all turned off, but then you would need to click fetch messages 50 times.
Seriously I think the issue is with your provider. They know you have a business case to open 50 email accounts on their server. They needs to get over their internal spam settings and deliver. Then when they stop flagging your IP address for spam your ISP will stop blacklisting you.
Your only real other alternative is run a mail server (Mail server software) on a local machine, have that mail server collect mail from the 50 other accounts on a schedule and connect Thunderbird to the local mail server.

Outgoing server times out - can't send any emails and don't know what to do

I receive emails just fine in my MobileMe account but when I try to send them they get stuck in outbox ****. It is an IMAP account and I have tried the connection doctor - which shows the server times out - as does the message box that pops up. I have a Genius Bar appointment for tomorrow but this is driving me crazy. Any insight would be much appreciated!

I had this occur several times before, some time ago & wish I wrote down the fix. I too am experiencing the same issue for the last 2 days; so my guess is it must not be my computer since nothing has been changed except I did a "sync" & that is the only thing different in the last few days.

Connection to server times out

Hi, I know I've seen somewhere that you can set how long before your connection to your remote server times out in DW. After a few minutes of editing files, and then when I go to upload them to my host, It takes forever just to make a connection. I used CS3 for a while, then upgraded to CS5. CS3 didnt seem to have this issue.
Another issue I seem to have is when I DO put files to my remote, sometimes the files dont seem to reflect changes I made. For instance, I added an id attribute to a firm field, uploaded my file to the remote, hard refreshed my browser viewing the same page and viewed source. The form field id was not there! So I clicked the expand local and remote files button and pulled the file over to the remote manually!
Maybe these are issues with my hosting company? Anything I can do to ensure my remote connection stays connected, at least for an extended period of time if not indefinately. Thanks in advance!

Hi Nancy, thats for the tips and info. I've tried most of what you suggested. One thing I never thought about though was toggling passive mode on and off. For some reason I just always assumed this should be on by default. So I will try that and see how it goes over the next day or so.
Also the FTP optimize performance was checked. Seems like I had an issue with this a while back, so I unchecked it as well.
Now the other issue of why updated files arent showing up on my remote. Yes I always use ctrl+F5 to refresh my browser. Again, this morning when I did that very thing, and then viewed source, the updated code was not there. The code I am referring to was about 20 lines of javascript that was showing in dw code view, but not in ff source view. So not sure about that one. As you said its possibly my host provider. Thanks again!

Email stuck in Outbox - Server times out

I sent an email with an attached pdf - should have checked the size of the pdf first. After about 5 to 10 minutes I get a Server Time out error. I closed and opened the email program and it tries to send the email again.... How can I delete the email with out opening the program?
Thanks in advance. Dale
G3 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Dale,
Welcome to the Discussions.
Quit Mail, if running. In the Finder, open Home/Library/Mail/Mailboxes and locate the Outbox.mbox file, and delete it. Mail will create a new one, when next you go to send.
Are there any messages in the Outbox you wish to save? If so, don't delete, but only drag out to be on the Desktop, and post back.

BPC Optimization Server Time Out error message

We’re using BPC 7.5 MS and on patch level 111.02
There’s two front-end servers and one back-end.
When completing a full optimization with compression on an application we immediately get the optimization popup screen with no processing information only a “Server Time Out” error message.
Optimization was taking a long to time run and sometimes timed out. To try and resolve this issue we have just updated indexes and statistics and during our test in production we now receive the “Server Time Out” error message immediately. However, the records from tbl.Factwb and tbl.Fac2 did move to the tbl.Fact.
Our development environment test ran fine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi Michael,
please look in the logs maybe you will found more informations regarding the timeout and eventually share it.
There are several notes about a timeout in 10 version,
1394533 - 'Server Time Out' error when performing Modify Application, Full Process of a dimension, or Full Optimize this is related with NLB
but it could be also related with the web.config 1628908 - How to fix Optimize with compress time-out failure
or if you reach the max number of connection
1635749 - Error Message: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool

Why does my Fieldpoint OPC server time out?

I'm using Fieldpoint Explorer 3.01 with 1600 ethernet modules. I'm using Wellspring Solutions' Object Automation as an OPC client to read and write to I/O. Everything works fine on one computer running Win NT 4.0. Another computer, however, is running NT Server 4.0, and the OPC reads/writes from Object Automation work for exactly 1759 seconds (or approx. 121 minutes), and then the Fieldpoint Server "times out", and the only way to get it to work again is by shutting down and restarting Object Automation, assumedly this somehow reinitializes communication with the server. This is a repeatable error that occurs at exactly the same time, every time. This only happens with the National Instruments Fieldpoint OPC server (I'm
using several) on one of the machines. I tried reinstalling the Fieldpoint OPC Server several times to no avail. I've used other OPC clients (from OPTO22, or Rockwell, Matrikon, Kepware) and can't communicate until Object Automation is shutdown and restarted. Any help or ideas on how to further troubleshoot would be appreciated, thanks.

Aaron, attached are 3 log files generated in a test that I ran. The test used Object Automation to turn on and off a relay channel (OPC item: Common FP Res\FP-RLY-420 @4\Channel 1) every 10 seconds. I used the Matrikon OPC delegator with the OPTO22 Test Client (written by Rockwell) to monitor the channel at the same time (the delegator would NOT work with Object Automation directly). The OPCDelegatorOPTO22TestClient.txt file is the log file for this client. Basically, the test started around 13:07 and lasted the usual 121 minutes. Then the OPC writes stopped around 15:08, at which time I tried to manually read and write to the channel using the OPTO22 client, generating the errors towards the end of the logfile. Incidentally, I don't k
now what the errors at the beginning of the file are, but there are no noticable problems until after 121 minutes. I then tried to use the Kepware OPC test client with delegator to read and write to the channel but this also did not work, and the logfile OPCDelegatorKepwareTestClient.txt is for that test. The other logfile (OAlogfile.txt) is the logfile generated by OA, see the end of file for the error. They should all be text files, not sure why one of them is listed as binary below. Let me know if this helps or if there is anything else I can provide.

SMS 2008 Server time out same time every hour

Our server times out at the same time every hour. Any computer connected to our network at exactly xx:53, any program or anything you are attempted to do goes to the loading circle and says not responding. It stays that way until xx:54. Every hour, every
day. However, nothing shows up on the error reports.

Hi MNQWolfe,
Based on your description, I suggest that you should firstly check if there any program or feature (such as antivirus program, update, backup and so on) started
working at that time. Also, please monitor the Task Manager or Resource Monitor to check if any process was started at that time.
In addition, it seems to be a network issue. Please run a sniffer on the server. You can use Microsoft Network Monitor 3.4 to monitor and then check ARP messages
and so on.

TS1368 I can't connect to the iTunes store with my Apple TV. I can see what movies are on offer but when trying to access my account i am advised "Can't connect to server" (times out).

I can't connect to the iTunes store with my Apple TV. I can see what movies are on offer but when trying to access my account i am advised "Can't connect to server" (times out).

I have the same problem with my 3rd gen Apple TV. I can preview iTunes movies, stream from my Mac, Airplay from my other devices but I cannot rent a movie on iTunes. Every time I try I get "Can't connect to ITunes" and "Unable to sign in". Had technical support review the problem over the phone and they agreed to send me a new one. Same problem. Interestingly enough my 2nd gen Apple TV works just fine.

Server time-out issue - unable to start "hello - world" application

Hi Team,
I am doing the exercise of week 1 of "Intro to SAP HANA Cloud platform (Repeat) " -
I am unable to start the application - I get the server time out error - also I tried increasing the timeout in server editor to 600 - I still
get the error as shown below
Please help me in resolving this.
Thanks in advance!
-Manju

1. I meant look for any errors in the logs, for something related to your app.
2. Just go to Java Applications in Cockpit. BTW, do you know the help center SAP HANA Cloud Documentation? That should be your first stop for any questions around HCP along with the SAP HANA Cloud Platform Developer Center and http://hcp.sap.com/.
3. There should be more details in that log file about the reason the app could not start.
HTH!

"Server times out" on iphone

Just switched publishing from old iWeb to new (iLife 09). Web sites are viewed fine on iMac and laptop (Safari and Firefox); but no longer load on the safari browser on the iPhone. Message tells me the server times out; and can't load the page.
Any thoughts?

Have any of you had any further problems with the server time out problem on your iphone, which you mentioned on 22 December. Since around the same time, my iphone 3GS has been timing out on applications and safari. However, if I turn off the iphone and restart it, it works for the first few attempts then it times out again.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there,
There may be a conflict between the network settings and your devices. I would recommend taking a look at the article below and comparing that to your routers current settings.
