IMAP works on my iPhone, but not my Macs?

I have several IMAP accounts set up in Mail. However, Mail won't retrieve IMAP mail from one of them (it will send mail through it fine). The mail server is the same name/account info for retrieving/sending.
Here's where the weirdness comes in.
My iPhone can retrieve the mail, using the account info synced from iTunes.
Entourage on the same machine can retrieve the mail.
Outlook, running through Parallels on the same machine can retrieve the mail.
But Mac Mail, running on this machine and two others, cannot do it. I receive a "timeout on port 143" message inside the mail viewer window, and a different "trying to login failed. Make sure un/pw are correct" error message in the Connection Doctor.
Does anyone have any ideas for this? It's a weird, crazy problem that I have never seen before!
Thanks,
Eric

maybe update the firmware of the router for better comparability

  • Re Iphoto stream - how to save space on icloud by deleting on iphone but not on mac iphoto?? thanks

    Hi - be great if anyone can help....
    It's unclear to me as to how to save photostream photos from iphone to macbook if I want to delete the same photos from my phone to save space on icloud.
    Thanks in anticipation of any advice

    Hi
    It's a very good idea to use an external hard disk to take load off the Main Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk.
    BUT there are some VERY Important things to know.
    A. NEVER move via DeskTop/Finder or alter any folders named
    • iMovie Events - or -
    • iMovie Projects
    As this will result in disaster (hard to impossibly to mend)
    All moving's of Events and Projects must be done Within the iMovie Application to be done in a Safe Way
    B. The External/Second Hard Disk
    • MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted for VIDEO - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange works for most things BUT NOT FOR VIDEO - whatever program is used iMovie or FinalCut or iDVD doesn't matter - VERY IMPORTANT ! ! !
    • Should be a FireWire one as USB/USB2 performs badly to me especially when filling up. (Thunderbolt might be even better - have non to test)
    BUT when reg. iPhoto Library.
    • Yes it can be moved
    • Yes iPhoto can be directed to find it
    • BUT - iMovie can not find those out-localized iPhoto libraries (AS FAR AS I Learned up to now 12-April-03 - anyone with more insight may kindly set me into a possibly way to do this)
    So I've outsource my iMovie Event's (most important as they take space) and Projects (not so important as they are very small - no movies in them only text document conducting how the Events are to be viewed) - BUT iPhoto stays - will not touch it.

  • Gmail Facebook Mail Comes to my iPhone, But Not My Mac

    For a few days now messages from people in a couple Facebook groups (and there are a lot of them) come to my iPhone, but not to my Mac or iPad. And they are all using the same router to get to the internet. And all other mail, before and after these messages gets to all three devices.
    Sometimes mail to my Mac (in both the Mail application and using Safari to access gmail) is delayed. I'll be sitting at my Mac with gmail showing I haven't got a message in hours, and notice on my iPhone I've gotten a dozen messages. I'll try to refresh on the Mac and no luck. Then maybe 15 minutes later they'll appear. Don't know whether this is related.

    Hi neil43,
    If you are not able to send or receive mail on your MacBook because you are being prompted for a password that is then rejected, I recommend trying steps in this article:
    OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3276
    Tip: If you see a sheet or dialog that states 'Enter the password for user "email address'", this indicates that the email service provider is having an issue with the password being sent by Mail, or there is an issue with the email account. Contact the email service provider for support. Choose Window > Connection Doctor click "Show Detail" then click "Check Again". The information displayed in the "Show Detail" drawer may include details from the email service provider about what the issue is. Look for headers that start with "[ALERT]".
    The article continues on to walk you through using Connection Doctor, and based on the results, how to troubleshoot further.
    Cheers!

  • Why can I open attachments (pptx and PDF) on iPhone but not on Mac?

    Why can I open attachments (pptx and PDF) on iPhone but not on my MacAir (OS X 10.9.2)? Generally, I can open PDFs on my Mac, but in this case, I opened on iPhone, and not on computer! Also pptx file from one sender opened on iPhone, and not on Mac, and the same pptx sent from another person wouldn't open on either! Help!

    Hi there.  I think as far as PowerPoint files go (pptx) you will need a copy of Office or some other compatible software (e.g. Keynote) to open it on your Mac.  On an iPhone there is a viewer built in just so you can take a look at most common attachment types.  If you have a copy of Microsoft Office on your Mac you should be able to open the pptx files in PowerPoint.
    OS X definitely has a PDF viewer, it's called Preview.  I think you can also load Adobe Acrobat if you want but I've stayed away from it for years as I find Preview faster and better.
    If you still can't open a PDF file attached to an email message on your MacAir by double clicking on it, could you let us know what error message you get, or what happens?  That will help people to help you.

  • TS3276 my password in working on my iPhone but not on my computer!!!! HELP

    can not get email on my computer even though it is working on my iPhone. Seems like someone hacked my account, whch seems unlikely , but I was required to change my password, and after 5+ attempts I fianlly got it to work and the iPhone is working, but when I go on my computer it asked for my password as it had changed... so I entered the new password as it was working on the iPhone and it keeps saying that The iCloud IMAP server "p06-imap.mail.me.com" rejected the password for user... *** is apple getting to be a Microsoft company?

    Might be a keychain issue. Here's what I'd try:
    As long as mail is working on your phone, I'd leave it alone.
    Delete the account completely from Mail.app on your mac.
    Go to Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access
    Search for and remove all keychain entries that relate to this mail account
    in the Keychain Access menu, go to Keychain First Aidenter your password, choose repair, and start.
    I don't know if a restart is needed at this point but it wouldn't hurt
    then go back to mail.app and enter your account and password.

  • Facetime works on iphone but not on mac using snow leopard?

    Face Time is synced to my iphone 4S, and Face Time works on it. But when I try to make calls on my imac (snow leopard) using Face Time, it doesn't work, it says that the 'call failed'. I've turned off Face Time on my iphone, so that the calls will go to the mac only, and calls i make will go from the mac only.
    Any ideas?

    The Version of Snow Leopard is 10.6
    My only thought as to why Facetime is not working is because of the recent changeover to iOS 6.
    Apple are obviously trying to get everyone on to Mountain Lion, but some users, including myself
    prefer to wait a while to let the gremlins get sorted.
    Any ideas on the above will be welcome

  • Mail stopped working on iPad & iPhone, but not G5, after installing iOS 7.

    Here we have a G5, an iPhone-4 and an iPad all linked to the same POP account.  Mail fetching on all three devices had been working fine. 
    Earlier this week (10/23 or 10/24), however, Mail on both the iPhone and the iPad quit working shortly after our having installed iOS 7 on each of them.   This could be a coincidence, but Mail on a G5 running 10.5.8 linked to the same account is still fetching and sending mail just fine.
    Every time we swipe down on the message list (the gesture to fetch new mail) in Mail on the iPad, an error message appears,
    Cannot Get Mail
    The user name or password for
    "Primary Mail Account" is incorrect
    Settings   |    OK
    An analogous gesture on the iPhone produces the same message.
    But Mail on the G5 (running 10.5.8) still works fine to fetch mail from the same POP account.
    Here are some details:
    About two weeks ago, we installed iOS 7 on the iPad and the iPhone.  Mail continued to work after the installation.
    About a week later, last Wednesday, 10/23, the iPad went through a spontaneous installation event, in which the multilingual series of "Hello!" images familiar to those who install Mac operating systems floated across the screen.  Apparently, this event installed iOS 7.0.3.  There followed a short series of initialization dialogs, then everything seemed to work OK.
    Except that Mail wasn't working.  This could be a coincidence, but Mail on this iPad has not worked since last Wednesday.  The last message received is dated last Wednesday.
    We don't know whether the iPhone went through a similar event, but Mail quit working on it, as well.  Mail on this iPhone now gets the same message, above, as on the iPad.  The last message received by the iPhone was last Thursday, 10/24.  The iPhone's iOS is now 7.0.2.  The iPhone says that iOS 7.0.3 is downloaded, but not yet installed. 
    We compared the settings for Mail on the G5, on which Mail is still working, against the settings on the iPad and the iPhone.  They all seem pretty much the same.
    Have you heard of anyone else with this problem, or might you have an idea how to research it?
    --Gil

    That worked!  A couple of notes for anyone with the same problem:
    I thought I'd be clever and create a new account before deleting the old one.  That didn't work, as "Settings" kept insisting that the account had already been created.  I had actually to delete the old account and create a new one from nada.
    I was careful to write down all the settings parameters first.  Even so, it took a few tries to get everything spelled right.  Fortunately, "Settings" checked everything carefully and its messages pointed to the right places.
    I still got the same error message the first time i relaunched Mail.  However, this time I chose the "OK" option.  Since then and thereafter it seems to be working.
    Thanks for your help, lizdance40.

  • The outlook calendar from work shows on iPhone but not on iCloud website or iMac

    I have an iMac running latest OS, iPhone 5S running latest OS. The outlook calendar from my work pushes out to iPhone, and my iPad, but not to the iCloud website and not to the iMac.
    Any ideas??

    The only calendar which should be showing in Outlook is the iCloud calendar.  The other calendars if showing are local to your machine.  If you have to move the events you are creating in Outlook to iCloud, the wrong calendar is being used when you set up the event.

    Is the AirPort Express the only router in your current network configuration? That is, is it connected directly to a simple Internet modem and not to another router upstream of it? Regardless, what is the make & model of the network device that the Express is connected to?

  • Imap works on UMTS/G3 but not on WLAN

    Any ideas on this one? I've just set up an imap account and it runs well under umts or g3 but not on my home wlan.
    The other imap account (.mac) works as well as a pop account work with both, umts and wlan.
    I've opened ports 143 and 587 on my wlan router (not using SSL) - which are also the settings on my mac - the account works fine there.
    Any other ports or voodoo I need to get this working? I'm really out of ideas now

    I am able to send email fine with my iphone.
    Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
