Incoming mail 10.5 has failed from cloud

I updated to leopard and mail did work (in and out)  -  until May 16, 2012.
Now, nothing comes in (out still works) and my password in not being recognized.
yes, I did check the preferences.
Yes, I checked the pw by logging into the cloud.

Hi, the old servers do not work anymore...
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
          •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 993
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
          •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 587
          •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
Thanks to dpepper...

    When trying to update my Mail Account Mailbox Behaviours settings, after making the changes when I try to close the settings pane the following messages occur: Invalid Incoming Mail Server The “Incoming Mail Server” field cannot be empty. The incoming mail server box has in light grey colour: p02-imap.mail.me.com in it and I cannot edit its content. Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it?

    Hi all,
    Mattreichenbach is probably on the right track here with a reset of settings.  I think I've determined the issue has to do with cached account information and inconsistencies for the account name.  This seems to crop up when I've changed my password and it hasn't propagated fully to all the servers, devices, certificates, etc.
    Hopefully many here are on their way to restoration of service by now but it's clear that a lot of people are having the same issues.  Very frustrating and definitely something Apple needs to resolve:  incoming mail server field grayed out, incorrect autopopulation of different fields, other unanticipated behaviors.  If you're still having issues, though, here's what worked for me...
    First, head to the iCloud preferences pane in System Configuration and choose "Sign Out".  When I did this it prompted me with a number of "are you sure" type questions about retaining information on my local machine.  I chose to delete/remove the info each time simply because it should all be restored by the cloud and I didn't want to risk a massive duplication of my data... I will say, I'm back up and running with no issues so I suspect you can make the same delete/remove choices...  But use your own judgment.  I don't want you to lose any data (ie.. please use care as you do this because I cannot bear the thought of causing anyone to experience the pain of data loss).
    Once you've signed out of iCloud, restart your system.  When you get back in, head to the Mail, Contacts and Calendars section of your System Preferences and add your account back by choosing the brushed aluminum "iCloud" button.  When it asks for your account name, use your @iCloud.com email address.  I am all but certain my issue had started because one of my devices (iPhone or whatever) had been set up with an email alias specified instead of my @iCloud.com address.
    Apple, if you're reading through any of these issues (there are TONS of users having this same problem).  Take note, that your icloud service somewhat frequently is not responding and yet tells the user that the password is wrong and this prompts people to be changing their passwords unnecessarily.  This has happened to me on numerous occasions.  Also, I noticed that last week's outage corresponded to a VERY similar outage exactly one year ago to the day.  Sounds like planned maintenance to me and I think you could do a better job notifying folks so we're not wasting HUGE amounts of time troubleshooting a problem that we have no hope of fixing.
    Hope that helps some of you!

  • Hello. I keep my IPhoto library (about 90GB) on an external HD and am trying to back it up to another external drive. Both are formatted Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled). Recently, backup has failed from the start due to error 36. Howtoresolve?

    Hello. I keep my iPhoto library (about 90GB) on an external HD and am trying to back it up to another external drive. Both are formatted Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) and both check out when scanned with Disk Utility. Recently, backup has failed from the start due to error 36. Any ideas how to  resolve? Also, what's the maximum recommended size for an iPhoto library file? Thx!

    Since you can't drag the library to the other EHD for the backup see if you can duplicate it (if you have enough room on the drive) by selecting it and typing Command+d (duplicate). 
    If you do rebuild the library without a backup and it goes awry you won't lose your photos but you may lose your orgnaizational efforts. So try the following:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library in the location of your choosing  based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    NOTE:  Fix 2 above might be the method you might want to try first with iPLM creating the new library on your second EHD. If it works that would get your backup copy on the second EHD at the same time as repairing it. If it does'nt work then go back to Fix 1.

  • E-Mail Browse Window Has Wrong From Information

    I have recently started having a problem with the message browser window in the latest version of Mail (Tiger installed, with updates through 10.4.5) where the FROM column does not accurately reflect the name of the sender on multiple messages. When I started this inquiry my inbox reflected multiple messsages FROM Ester Ferreira. (Not all of the messages, just messages that had no address book entry WHEN THEY ARRIVED.) However, when I highlight each of these messages the text of the messages themselves indicate that none is from Ester Ferreira. Indeed, a search for Ferreira using the Mail search tool shows no messages EVER from or to Ester Ferreira. However, the incorrect name is not ALWAYS Ester Ferreira. Earlier today the messages were from WorldWinner and before that from some other name having no connection with me nor my computer (none of the names so far has shown up in my Address Book nor even in a Spotlight search of my hard disk). A moment ago, all the messages appeared to be FROM Donut Offer. NOW they all appear to be from A New Years Gift For You.
    There seems to be some relationship between me switching to look into different mailboxes and the switching of the names appearing the FROM area.
    I have tried running disk utility to fix permissions and repair the disk (there are always erroneous permissions, especially related to Widgets, and the disk never needs repair). I have also tried rebuilding my mailbox and just quitting and restarting Mail. While I thought fixing permissions was having a positive effect, I now believe that was just coincidental, as the problem quickly resurfaced after permissions have been fixed when that helped, and recently fixing permissions has not helped at all.
    G5 Dual 2 and PowerbookG4 1.33 GHz 17   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Click "Options" (top-right of Mail web page), then "More Options".
    Select "Accounts" from the menu on the left and then the relevant account from the column in the middle. Mine's called "BT Yahoo!". In the right-hand pane you should now be able to change both the Reply-To and the 'From' name.

  • If you are using a screen reader and having problems using Mail, it might help to disable automatic page updates. Please note, this will also disable chat and text messaging within Yahoo! Mail.This problem has resurfaced from previous versions of Firefox.

    I get a terrible display in ATT Yahoo!

    I have this same problem and it occurs with other websites (like ESPN.com) too. Only I don't get the option of disabling automatic page updates on other websites. I disabled and reinstalled Mozilla and it went away for a short while. About two weeks later the same problem popped back up.

    Jailbreaking violates the Apple warranty and licensing agreement and voids ALL support from Apple.  No one on here can help you as doing so is a violation of the Terms of Use of these Communities.  If you send the iPad to Apple they will just send it back to you as they are not permitted to work on a machine that has been jailbroken.

  • HT201272 Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store

    Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store? When I try it tells me the pruchases have already been downloaded to this computer.

    Does your purchased rmusic appears under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ? If they do and you don't have the cloud symbol against them so as to re-download them, then do you still have the entries for them in your library i.e. where you would normally click on them to play them ? If you do then try deleting them from there (iTunes will be seeing them and assuming that you still have them somewhere) and they should then get the cloud symbol for re-downloading in the Purchased link.
    If you aren't in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page,

  • Can't Receive Email in Mail from Cloud Since Yesterday ...Anyone?

    Since yesterday, my Mac (OSX Lion) is no longer receiving email from my mac.com email address.
    My iPhone receives it fine.
    I tried looking up support articles, but one of the incoming fields in MAIL they want you to set it to is greyed out so I can't change it.
    Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get Mail back to receiving mail sent to my mac.com address?
    Thanks
    Tom

    I went there...first went to my mac account and it said "Your account has been moved to iCloud adjust settings there" or something, so I went there....unchecked and rechecked MAIL ( couldn't log out, as it were) but nothing is happening. It's as if Mail just can't receive iCloud mail anymore. Again, my iPhone is fine. I am having to go to iCloud on the web to see my incoming mail addressed to my .mac account.
    So confusing and no way to get help from Apple without paying for the call. Silly.
    Ugh!!!

  • Mac E-Mail Not Receiving Incoming Mail From ATT/Yahoo Mail Server

    Recently "upgraded" to ATT U-verse. My Mac email client (3.6) suddenly not receiving incoming mail from the web-based ATT/Yahoo. Settings-all are correct: Telephone talk with Tier 1 and Tier 2 ATT reps confirmed "unusual" problem, and that the settings (ports, ssl, etc.) are indeed all correct. Tier 2 supervisor referred ticket (F23576784) to the brilliant minds at Yahoo for help. I've heard nothing for five days. Some emails do get received on my client, from (Apple, ATT, for example). Others languish on the web-based mail, with no push to my iMac. Tests of sending myself e-mails continue to confirm problem, with test emails sitting at Yahoo server, no push to my Mac client.
    I am able to send e-mails successfully from client. Interestingly, a couple of incoming e-mails from friends did manage to slip through the lines and arrive in my Mac client a couple of days late. Brave little souls, they're not talking.
    I've tried all sockets, all other settings possible, but no luck. Why is there no straight-forward answer to this proliferating problem? Odd e-mail behaviors? No documented or shared answers by the big outfits to Mac users? Mac mail virtually disabled and useless? Has anyone found a path to resolving the varied but similar problems in this area yet? Thanks in advance for any help offered beyond adjusting preferences over and over and over. That ain't working.
    Stuiee

    Geez, some emails are getting through, most are not forwarded to my client MacMail. They are also marked as read, which could mean that Yahoo is forwarding them somewhere...(?) Can't get ahold of Yahoo, ATT forwards me to Yahoo, Yahoo has no method of emailing real, technical questions, ATT supervisor actually called Apple and there is nothing wrong with the OS or my set up requirements.
    Does anyone know a workaround for setting up smtp requirements? Can't switch email clients at this time, would take a lot of changing existing contact info for bizz.
    At this point all I would like to know is, where is the problem? Why does a server (ATT/Yahoo) send some mail to my account, not send others, and marks all messages on the webmail as read? Thanks for the one response, I do believe the problem is some minor error set at the isp's server software for Macs, but who knows?

  • Incoming mail has suddenly stopped on Z10

    After working great for over a week, my Z10 not longer is getting incoming mail for one account.
    Account/problem details:
    - Paid Gmail for Business
    - ActiveSync
    - I can send email fine from this account on Z10 and the sent message appears in hub
    - I don't receive any email sent to this address
    - Calendar appears to also not be syncing (push or pull)
    - Looks like this problem has been ongoing since yesterday afternoon (Feb 20)
    A seperate IMAP account on the Z10 continues to work properly.
    Anyone else have this problem? I don't really want to delete and re-add my ActiveSync account on the Z10 because I'll have to re-link contacts...

    How about a batt-pull reboot? I doubt honestly that it will make a difference...but, well, we do need to try everything...
    And, you've already gone back and forth between PUSH and PULL, so you've already done that bit. I have noticed from time to time that my GMail accounts (standard free @gmail, not hosted domain) sometimes also just stop receiving...but it also seems to just start up again, with no real action on my part.
    I have concerns about the ActiveSync implementation on BB10, and this may well be yet another symptom concerning that situation...sadly, I'm not "inside", so can't really know anything for sure.
    The only thing left I can think of is what you don't want to do -- removal and reintegration of the account. But, if my suspicions are correct, the behavior may well resurface anyway...so if you require absolute reliability, you may be better off integrating differently (either IMAP or POP).
    Good luck!

  • Unable to extract bcc address from incoming mail

    Hello all,
    1>i am facing problem in extracting BCC address from incoming mails .
    2>when i am trying sending mails in BCC address to otherdomain i am preety successful but when i try sending BCC on my own domain i am not able to receive it and hence extract bcc address.
    Please ,if any of u guys have solution for my problem ,reply immediately.
    bobby

    From RFC2822.
    The "Bcc:" field (where the "Bcc" means "Blind Carbon Copy") contains addresses of recipients of the message whose addresses are not to be revealed to other recipients of the message. There are three ways in which the "Bcc:" field is used. In the first case, when a message containing a "Bcc:" field is prepared to be sent, the "Bcc:" line is removed even though all of the recipients (including those specified in the "Bcc:" field) are sent a copy of the message. In the second case, recipients specified in the "To:" and "Cc:" lines each are sent a copy of the message with the "Bcc:" line removed as above, but the recipients on the "Bcc:" line get a separate copy of the message containing a "Bcc:" line. (When there are multiple recipient addresses in the "Bcc:" field, some implementations actually send a separate copy of the message to each recipient with a "Bcc:" containing only the address of that particular recipient.) Finally, since a "Bcc:" field may contain no addresses, a "Bcc:" field can be sent without any addresses indicating to the recipients that blind copies were sent to someone. Which method to use with "Bcc:" fields is implementation dependent, but refer to the "Security Considerations" section of this document for a discussion of each. When a message is a reply to another message, the mailboxes of the authors of the original message (the mailboxes in the "From:" field) or mailboxes specified in the "Reply-
    To:" field (if it exists) MAY appear in the "To:" field of the reply since these would normally be the primary recipients of the reply. If a reply is sent to a message that has destination fields, it is often desirable to send a copy of the reply to all of the recipients of the message, in addition to the author. When such a reply is formed, addresses in the "To:" and "Cc:" fields of the original message MAY appear in the "Cc:" field of the reply, since these are normally secondary recipients of the reply. If a "Bcc:" field is present in the original message, addresses in that field MAY appear in the "Bcc:" field of the reply, but SHOULD NOT appear in the "To:" or "Cc:" fields.
    Bottom line is that bcc fields "should" only contain one address (if any) by the time it is delivered to the recipient. You cannot, with any degree of certainty expect to be able to get a list of e-mail addresses from a bcc field that a bad SMTP implementation may leave lying about.

  • Incoming mail server has changed, but greyed out in Mail, can't be corrected

    The incoming mail server for my website's email account has changed, but the incoming server box is greyed out and doesn't allow me to change it to the correct one.  I do not want to delete the account and start again because all mail and contacts associated with the account will be lost.  So far all the suggestions regarding greyed out incoming server boxes have to do with iCloud but while i use iCloud, I don't use it for mail or have an @iCloud email address.  They also involve starting from scratch with Mail, which would be a huge problem for me trying to save all my emails and reconstruct my mailboxes.
    What gives with this issue? a lot of people seemed to have it, though I saw no responses later than 2012.  Unlike other people, I can still get my mail, but the server certificate always comes up invalid.  I can tell Mail to trust it, but This greyed out thing is certainly a bug or unintended consequence.  I want to be able to change that field.

    Sorry, Guess I solved my own problem anyway.  Perhaps this will help others.  I unchecked "automatically detects and maintain account settings", closed and saved the mail preferences window ( I had also updated my outgoing server info which was not greyed out )  I closed Mail and when I reopened it, the incoming server was no longer greyed out and I could change it which I did.  I may recheck the auto detect box once I have ensured that the port settings are all correct.

  • Two email accounts sync'd to my iMac. One has suddenly stopped receiving incoming mail.

    Hi,
    I have an iMac on OX Yosemite 10.10.2. (which I installed a couple of months ago no issues). I have two email accounts - Gmail and AOL. Both are installed and sync'd with the Mail application.  However, for the past week, the inbox hasn't received any incoming emails from AOL, only Gmail. The account is shown as still there. I can still see the sent, trash, drafts, old received emails etc, just no inbox with new messages.  I have checked the account settings and done the connection doctor troubleshooter - it says its all fine. However, when I click Mailbox and Get New Mail, the Gmail is black and the AOL is grey so I can't select it.
    I have an iPhone which also has both accounts sync'd to it. No issues with that. I'm getting all emails as I should on the phone.
    Can anyone give me a suggestion to get it back?

    OK I've just tried that.
    The inbox is there at the top of the left hand column, and it is showing all the inbox messages that I've not received on the iMac for the past two weeks, but that I did get through on my phone.  So that's more than I had before.
    However, new incoming mail that has been sent since deleting and re adding the account is not appearing. I've just sent a test email from the Gmail account to the AOL account and I can still see it sat in my outbox. Likewise, I know from my phone that I have been sent other emails since doing this, which have not appeared on the Mac.
    I've ran connectivity doctor again and it still says that all connections are fine.
    Any more ideas Eric?
