Import Mail Wont Work

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro and did a set up using a time machine backup. When opening the mail program, I am prompted to import mail. I click continue and the import starts, but the import keeps locking about 3/4 of the way through. Please help!

Well, after retrying 20 times, the mail program stopped responding so I was able to do a force quit. Then whean I reopened mail all of my accounts were there and my old mail.

HT1338 mail wont work since update

My mac did an update for iphoto and since then my mail wont open
it says that this version of mail wont work with this system and to use the mail icon located in applications
tried that and it still wont work
HELP!!!!

I was having very similar issues with both the iPhone 3GS, which I returned, and then when I updated my original iPhone to the 3.0 OS. It turns out that the problem (at least in mine and others case) is an unassigned dummy email account on the iPhone. On the settings icon open up mail, contacts, calender and look at the end of your list of e-mail accounts. The dummy account will have the word e-mail in the margin but the rest of the field is blank. Select this for the account information go to the end of the information field and delete it.
When I did this it completely resolved my battery life issue and the over heating in my original iPhone. The cause it is suggested is because of the dummy account, the iPhone goes into perpetual search mode because of all the missing information. I wish I had know this before returning the 3GS.
Hope it works for you and you can begin enjoying all the benefits of the new 3.0

Does anyone know the YAHOO authentication method and port? I recently installed the new OSX 10.8.2 software and my mac mail wont work.

Hello,
I have no idea what you're talking about, however my Mail stopped working when I
had to add a new e-mail address for my Hotmail account.
My new Hotmail address works, and seems to get e-mail from the old e-mail address,
which from I've read behaves as a "default" address for the old address.
Apple Mail is linked to my Hotmail account of the old e-mail address.
I no longer know my old password.
Apple Mail will not accept my new password for ny new Hotmail account.
Can someone help me solve this problem WITOUT COMPLICATED SOLUTION!
As I said I have no idea what a port, or SSL or authentication is!
If you do answer,please answer in vert simple steps that are easy to follow, and donlt make matters worse.
Thanks,
SB

OLD iMac 1.8 GHz PPC G5...running 10.3.9, mail wont work (vs 1.3.11)

I have had this computer running all the way up to snow leopard but it just about cant handle it and it sounds like it is going to turn into an airplane and take off!
So, today, I clean swiped the whole thing and put back on Panther that came with it. I updated it up to 10.3.9 but that is as far as I can go. I dont have any disks for Tiger and Im not going to buy them still for over $120 at this point.
My problem is...the mail wont work now. I have set up my mail accounts a million times....we have iPhones, iPads, iPods, multiple MacBook Pros, all the computers at my office are Macs and I upgrade all of them, set up the mail, etc. So basically, I know that my server settings, passwords, usernames, etc are all spot on.
Is this version of mail just so old that it isn't going to work right? Anyone else still running an ancient machine? Tips? Help? Also, is there anywhere that I can just download Tiger 10.4? Id love to get it updated to at least that OS so that my daughters can use the computer for games, etc but the version of flash that their sites is requiring isn't available until we are running at least 4.0.
So basically....mail not working and upgrade advice needed!
Any suggestions....TYIA!!! Im dying here...

Doug:
Your computer meets the minimum system requirements for Tiger. However, the major Operating Systems: Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, Leopard must be installed from an install disk, which, as Niel indicated, needs to be purchased. Updates within an OS, from 10.4.4 to 10.4.11 for example, can be installed either via Software Update or downloaded as stand-alone updates form the Apple website and then installed.
If you do not already own the Tiger install disk, you might consider Leopard instead, since your computer meets the technical specifications for Leopard, and the cost of Tiger and Leopard are essentially the same $129 from Apple.
I would suggest that you seriously consider upgrading your RAM. Although the RAM you have will run Tiger, it will run much better by boosting your RAM by installing at least one 1 GB module. Your compuuter will support 2 - 184-pin PC-3200 (400MHz) DDR SDRAM up to 1 GB each. You can upgrade them both or upgrade to 1.5 GB for now.
Please do not hesitate to post back should you have further questions.
Good luck.

Factory reset, now mail wont work(app store too)

i factory reset my 3gs cause it was running slow and wifi wasnt working properly, and yes i was p*ed off and didnt back it up lol, but now when i goto set mail up with hotmail account, it says i need hotmail plus or something and it always pops up saying "failed to connect to POP3.live.com" what shall i do? its important i have mail working.
and when i open app store, it says loading, then it says cant connect to app store, i came here cause i cant find how to ask apple direct cause its soo complicated

before i reset it, i had 2 sim cards, 1 that came with the phone with the internet on, and another which is my main simcard. but to get the wifi working, i had to put my simcard with internet in, set it up to run on 3G, then the wifi would kick in then i could swap simcards over and it would wor, but when the screen turns off n when you unlock it, it stops working again, and when i repeat the process it works, till the screen turns off then it stops working.
but the wifi is sorted now since i factory reset it and the app store is loading now soo thats sorted, and i dont get the POP3 error when i open mail anymore, BUT it shows the little loading circle at the top, and says its checking for mail at the bottom, but it doesnt deliver any mail at all, so ive had to spend £6 on mbox mail cause i need email

Mac Mail wont work on different internet

I am having a problem with my mac mail and I am hoping someone can help me.
I have a windows live account all set up and working fine and have done since I have had my macbook.
When I am at home, I can send and recieve emails with no problems at all, using my home Virgin Media braodband internet router.
However, when I am at my girlfriends, I can recieve emails, but not send any. I get this message:
"Connections to the server “smtp.live.com” on the default ports timed out.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent."
She has a BT Home Hub router, if this is any help.
Cheers!

you might want to try looking under your support on the computer. it may tell you there. you might just need your updates for the internet. ive had that problem on one of my other computers and that worked for me. but this problem im having doesnt seem to have a solution

TS4002 MY MAIL WONT WORK

my me.com mail on my mac will not work, it tells me to type my password and I do and its the right password but still says mobile me has rejected the password. I went online and signed in on mobile me (icloud) and it is the RIGHT password..?

Since Snow leopard is not available as a download, which OS version did you download - Lion? Or did you install Snow Leopard (or Lion)? In any case, you might want to try running Software Update; it should automatically tailor/update your Mail version to the appropriate OS version.

I just got a new imac and mail wont work.

The second I open it the pinwheel starts. I have to force quit it every time. I literally cannot do anything in it.

Hey guys i figured it out. I called support and they helped me.
Turn your wireless or any other internet connection off and restart your computer.
Make sure it is still off when it starts back up.
Open mail > file > preferences > accounts and remove the @me or mobile me email from the(by selecting the account and clicking on the little "-" button at the bottom.
Go into your system preferences into icloud and sign out then uncheck icloud from the mail preferences.
Restart your computer again
Turn on wifi/internet connection and open mail.
Everything should load better
Then add your icloud account back to mail if you need it and sign back into icloud.
Hope this helps because it helped me!!

Safari, YouTube, e-mail wont work...?

So a week or so after the newest update came out for the iPod touch 4 (IOS 5.1.1) my safari stoped working along with YouTube and email. When I tap on the safari app, it shows the search bar and just a blank open page from anywhere from less then a second to ten seconds then it suddenly crashes. This happens every time I try to open safari. What Happens with YouTube: I open YouTube and it will let me serch for a video to watch then when I click on a video to watch it just says it is loading and won't stop. If tested it and it will keep loading and won't stop. What happens with message and email: basically they just won't load any new messages and won't let me send any either. Every other application that runs off wifi works just not those four. I've been connected to wifi and it won't work. If went to other wifi and it won't work. I've tried everything and it still won't work. Please help me! I really need it! :)

Did you try:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
Saying " I've tried everything " provides us no clue of what you tried.
